      Agreed, and my favorite music is late 60's and 70's (born during the Eisenhower Administration). That said, Tears for Fears was (and still is) my favorite group. I play their tracks over and over again...

    But traditions I can trace
    Against the child in your face
    Won't escape my attention
    You keep your distance with a system of touch
    And gentle persuasion

    Oh, you're wasting my time

    Don't-, don't-, don't throw it away
    Throw it away
    Throw it away
    I made a fire, and watching it burn
    Yeah, thought of your future
    With one foot in the past
    Now, just how long will it last?
    Now, now, now, have you no ambitions?
    (Mm, what's the matter with my)
    My mother and my brothers used to breathe in clean air
    (Nothing ever changes when you're acting your age)
    And dreaming I'm a doctor
    (Nothing gets done when you feel like a baby)
    It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand
    (Nothing ever changes when you're acting your age)
    Oh, I feel so
    Something happens

      The whole song is very unique lyrically. Honestly I'd love to hear some interpretations, because it's rather oblique to me, particularly the second verse, and what's the significance of the 🍀?
      Whatever it means, it's brilliant poetry. They seem to favour imagery over direct meaning in their lyrics, kinda similar to bands like early R.E.M. and Live (at least, 90s Live), among others.

    • @beaubreau
      @beaubreau Місяць тому +4

      @@zonesquestiloveunderworld "Head Over Heels" by Tears for Fears is a song that delves into the complexities of love and emotional vulnerability. The lyrics portray a deep infatuation or love that the narrator feels towards someone, possibly reflecting on the whirlwind of emotions that accompany falling deeply in love, where one might feel both elated and vulnerable.
      The line "And this is my four leaf clover" suggests a sense of hoping for good luck or cherishing a rare find in the context of love. It's like stumbling upon something uniquely special and holding onto it as a symbol of fortune and happiness.
      The song's title, "Head Over Heels," itself is a common idiom that describes being completely enamored or in love with someone, to the point where you're almost metaphorically 'upside down' with emotion. This intense emotional state can lead to a sense of disorientation, mirroring the chaos and unpredictability of love.
      Throughout the song, there's also a sense of longing and a desire to connect deeply with the object of affection, coupled with the fear of unrequited feelings or the potential for heartbreak. The music and lyrics together create a powerful emotional landscape that resonates with listeners, capturing the universal experience of falling head over heels in love, with all its complexities, hopes, and fears.

    Im 50 now and the 80s is like some wondrous dream I woke up from early and wish I could fall asleep and return to. I know the worlds needed to move on in the decades since, and not everyone sees it through rose colored glasses, but what an absolutely magical time. It was all like some dream. Im glad I had it when I was young enough to enjoy it just the way I did. But I miss that time as though I miss a loved one who's irreplaceable and long gone.

I graduated high school in '79, but I had the best years of my life in the 80's! I think back on those years with such a variety of emotions. Sometimes this music brings me back to that time in my life and I feel so sad that those times are gone. Some of the people are gone forever, some are still around, but we've all moved on and hopefully look back fondly on these memories. I miss those days...best years of my life!

    • @bluebirdconundrum
      @bluebirdconundrum Рік тому +23

      Back in the day, Curt Smith seemed to get a bit more publicity as the "lead" in Tears For Fears, but I have always thought that Roland Orzabal is both the more talented musician and the better singer. This is not to take anything away from Smith, but in modern performances the mild deterioration of Orzabal's voice - which is obviously understandable - noticeably reduces the richness of the band's vocals. I think it is amazing that they still perform with the quality that they do, but Orzabal's voice had an unmistakable resonance that simply can't be replaced.

    [Lyrics]
    I wanted to be with you alone
    And talk about the weather
    But traditions I can trace
    Against the child in your face
    Won't escape my attention
    You keep your distance
    With a system of touch
    And gentle persuasion
    I'm lost in admiration
    Could I need you this much?
    Oh, you're wasting my time
    You're just, just, just wasting time
    Something happens and I'm head over heels
    I never find out till I'm head over heels
    Something happens and I'm head over heels
    Ah! Don't take my heart, don't break my heart
    Don't, don't, don't throw it away
    Throw it away
    Throw it away
    I made a fire and watching it burn
    I thought of your future
    With one foot in the past
    Now, just how long will it last?
    No! No! No! Have you no ambition?
    (What's the matter with)
    My mother and my brothers
    Used to breathing clean air
    (Nothing ever changes when you're acting your age)
    And dreaming I'm a doctor
    (Nothing gets done when you feel like a baby)
    It's hard to be a man
    When there's a gun in your hand
    (Nothing ever changes when you're acting your age)
    Oh, I feel so
    Something happens and I'm head over heels
    I never find out till I'm head over heels
    Something happens and I'm head over heels
    Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
    Don't, don't, don't throw it away
    And this my four leaf clover
    I'm on the line, one open mind
    This is my four leaf clover
    (La la-la la la, la la-la la la)
    (La la la-la la-la)
    (La la-la la la, la la-la la la)
    (La la la-la la-la)
    (La la-la la la, la la-la la la)
    (La la la-la la-la)
    (La la-la la la, la la-la la la)
    (La la la-la la-la)
    In my mind's eye
    One little boy, one little man
    Funny how time flies

    The video gets better every time I watch it. Roland Orzabal is a good actor. This is geek before it became chic, how I remember my teenage years. And I love how he starts levitating round the library. I would love to see a documentary about the making of this video.

    Lyrics:
    I wanted to be with you alone
    And talk about the weather
    But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
    Won't escape my attention
    You keep your distance via the system of touch
    And gentle persuasion
    I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much?
    Oh, you're wasting my time
    You're just, just, just wasting time
    Something happens and I'm head over heels
    I never find out until I'm head over heels
    Something happens and I'm head over heels
    Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
    Don't, don't, don't throw it away
    Throw it away, throw it away
    I made a fire, and watching it burn
    Thought of your future
    With one foot in the past, now just how long will it last?
    Now, now, now, have you no ambitions?
    My mother and my brothers used to breathing clean air
    And dreaming I'm a doctor
    It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand
    Oh, I feel so
    Something happens and I'm head over heels
    I never find out until I'm head over heels
    Something happens and I'm head over heels
    Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
    Don't, don't, don't throw it away
    And this is my four leaf clover
    I'm on the line, one open mind
    This is my four leaf clover
    In my mind's eye
    One little boy, one little man
    Funny how time flies
