Both Roland and Curt have no problem admitting their Beatles influence.
Another great song from this album is “Advice for the young at heart”.
Their new album “The Tipping point” is so good!
Yes, I'm addicted to their new album! I saw Roland Orzabel in concert in NYC in the 90s when they were broken up. He was awesome, but I'm so glad they're back together and making great new music. Love "Rivers of Mercy" and "Long Long Time" on their new album.
One of my favorite bands of all time! The Beatles homage is obvious and well done. The trumpet (or French horn?) is straight up Penny Lane vibes. Badman's Song from this album and The Working Hour from their Big Chair albums are their 2 best songs imo and more than reaction worthy. Either one being next would be great!
Badman’s Song is amazing!
Someone made that Beatles homage up
Definitely check out “Advice for the Young at Heart” from the same album. As well as “Mother’s Talk” from their second. I’m more of a hard rock and metal guy, but Tears for Fears has ALWAYS been an exception! One of my all time favorites!
This track pays homage to the Beatles. Openingly admitted by Tears for Fears.
I want to say I knew it but that's crazy. Thank you so much for the info !!!
Maybe around Sergeant Pepper era
Sure, it has some "I Am the Walrus" and "Sgt. Peppers' Lonely Hearts Club Band" vibes
Not at the time though haha
They said that during their “Big Chair” tour of America, they were actually introduced to a lot of music including, the Beach Boys, Gospel, and strange enough, the Beatles. This influenced their style for this album.
It’s so on the nose with the Beatles tropes, absolutely right. Answering the question of how many Beatles elements can you fit into one song. I thought the first album seemed to be a bit more original. It’s interesting to note that early Tears For Fears was almost prog with a lot of odd time signatures and complicated phrasing and I do think the guitarist is really talented. Thanks again guys!
Aww man, i absolutely love Tears for Fears. This must have been the first song of theirs I ever heard as a kid.
This album and the pre-decessor 'Songs from the Big Chair' are 80s pop classics you can play from start to end without regretting a single note.
Have some great extra time with your extra family!
With you all the way Murdock my friend.
I just saw Tears For Fears in concert last week and they were awesome!! Their new album is very very good.
Interesting that at the end of the 80s they were singing "an end to the politics of greed"...which defined the '80s, pretty much.
This was such a rare taste of groovy at the time. Thanks for bringing it back. "Light and Day" by the Polyphonic Spree has a similarly positive chakric vibration, more akin to your own high vibration.
Total Beatles vibe, but still unmistakably Tears for Fears. A great song by them and as always, a great reaction from you two.
Jim Seals of Seals & Crofts died the other day. They had some great songs in the 70's. I had the good fortune to see them in 90's for a reunion tour at the Valley Forge Music Fair. You'd like some of their music. ''Summer Breeze' #nicknlexrequest & 'Humming Bird' would be great to react to.
The song at the end of Donnie Darko, "Mad World", was also a Tears For Fears original (the Gary Jules version was the one played in the movie).
One of my all-Time Favorite Rock group and gods!!!! Dedicated to The Beatles and Stg. Pepper & the Lonely Hearts Club Band album....Tears For Fears along With ELO on their "Out Of The Blue" album...constructed an album that reminds us of The Beatles. Excellent album!!! Every song is a gem!!!!
my opinion, the decade of the 80's has the best music ever written.
You guys should post the video for this song to get the full effect. If a video ever matched a song, it's definitely this one. :)
I literally thought my friend was kidding when he recommended this album, but it's become one of my favorites. There are some real pros like Pino Palladino (bass) and Manu Katche (drums) on some of the songs but nobody's showing off, just accentuating the excellent songwriting (ala Sting's bands over the years). Just a tasty album overall.
Thanks for more Tears For Fears. I play them all the time. Their new album is great, I'd suggest checking out the title cut, The Tipping Point, a great song. The title cut of the album, Raoul and the Kings of Spain is incredible as is the title cut of the album, Elemental. Other songs to check out: Break It Down Again, Goodnight Song, God's Mistake, Secrets, Mr. Pessimist, Badman's Song, Sketches of Pain.... there's so many. Great reaction y'all!
Just saw Tears for Tears in concert and they are amazing! Their new album is so so good!
Their first hit that so many cover now was "Mad World".
If you watch the official video for this song, it's very trippy/psychedelic. They were definitely tapping into that late 60's flower child type feel.
It’s a great visual
When you said Donnie Darko I thought you would say 'Mad World' which is their (original) song too.
Every time I hear this song I remember a friend of mine saying he was waiting for the 'koo koo kachoo' from I Am The Walrus 😀
My favorite songs from TFF were "Pale Shelter" and "Mad World".
If you're ever up to reaction to a cover, "Mad World" by Postmodern Jukebox would be my suggestion 😉
It sounds like koo koo kachoo, it's actually goo goo g'joob. Just nonsense words.
Yes, The Beatles are a huge influence on TFF and they are not ashamed to express that! Their album from 2003 was a TOTAL Beatle love fest! I love both bands so I’m happy to go along for the ride!
From the same album, check out Badman’s Song. Oleta Adam’s contribution to this song and the album cannot be overstated enough. A brilliant vocalist and pianist. Loved the reaction. 🔥❤️✌️
"Time to eat all your words; swallow your pride; open your eyes". One of the greatest lines in the history of musicianship, imo, Beatles influenced or not.
Great reaction you too are easy to listen to, saw them in concert Sunday night in San Diego it's was ridiculous they sounded amazing every single song! TFF are definitely one of they greatest ever!!
If you want to understand the essence of Tears for Fears, you have to listen to their first album "the hurting", wich is basicaly a concept album about child abuse, trauma and depression, a masterpiece
Sounds 😔
good job, stephan!
May I suggest it's time for some Talk Talk? ... "Happiness Is Easy," "It's My Life," "Living In Another World," and "Such A Shame" from the albums IT'S MY LIFE and THE COLOUR OF SPRING are essential listening of the 80s.
"Desire" is a great song to introduce late model Talk Talk
Yes!! Talk Talk is a must. The best of the 80’s. 🙌
Just saw them 2 weeks ago in Houston. They were incredible. These two have not lost a step. They were perfect in every song they sand. Sounded so good! Best concert I have seen in 20 years.
The Beatles were all about Love. So, yes, they are paying tribute to so many Beatles songs.
Now That You Have Listened To This One,, I Would Definitely Suggest Watching The Official Music Video.
Yes!! That is a stunning vid!
Tears For Fears first album The Hurting is a perfect album.
NICK , LEX , CON TODO RESPETO, LOS 60 70 Y LOS 80 SENTARON LAS BASES DE LA VERDADERA MÚSICA DE VERDAD QUE NUNCA MORIRA.
TODO REAL MUSICOS Y VOCES REALES, TALENTO QUE AHORA NO SE REPETIRÁ.
TENGO 65 , Y LA DISFRUTE AL MAXIMO Y AUN NO ME CANSO.
Guys - there is also a whole new album of 13 songs (3 bonus tracks) called The Tipping Point which was released in February of this year - the hard core TFF fans have been blown away by the unique nature of every song - they are on tour in the US as I write this, and are performing the bulk of them live - the new music is unbelievably beautiful, upbeat, haunting, etc, and you owe it to yourselves to hear the mind blowing quality of their new work!
There's some songs you never get tired or solos you always look forward to hearing. 👍
About "Hotel California" - The line "They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast. " was an answer to the line in the Steely Dan song "Everything You Did" which goes "Turn up The Eagles, the neighbors are listening ". This implied that the pleasant sounding Eagles music would cover up the argument that was going on. Evidently Becker's girlfriend liked the Eagles.
The new Tears for Fears album is very good as well.
Yes 👍 Very Beatles-influenced. Great reaction and always great to see you both. ✨😚
I agree Michelle.I must have heard the chorus 100’s of times.when i was young lad.😀 but like Lex said, when you sit down with some good headphones there is a lot happing in this song! I was impressed and enjoyed!
@@ericmeredith8754 Exactly. I just experienced that with Supertramp over in Patreon. I’ve recently listened to “Even in the Quietest Moments” but it had been awhile for the “Breakfast in America” LP - it had been played to death years ago … but I enjoyed listening with NnL and headphones and found a renewed admiration. Thanks, Eric. ✨😉
@@michelemichele3375 i love that! So cool! Take care my friend! I look forward to more requests and more comments from you dear!
@@ericmeredith8754 See you in the comments. Lol. Cheers 🥂
I'm 53 and have seen ALOT of live shows in my time but TFF live in Chicago in '05 remains my favorite live show to this day.
Spectacular masterpiece. 'Nuff said!
Awesome TFF again!!
Great band.... AND BACK TOGETHER AGAIN FOR A NEW ALBUM!!!
This is my favorite T4F album. I've always been an avid cyclist. Back when this was released I always used a walkman when riding and it was glorious. 4 miles till the endorphin rush and then it was Katie bar the door. I never knew when I would return home. This whole LP is fabulous and was one of my favorites on the bike. Your reaction brought back tons of great memories. I'm now 68 and still bike every day, always listening to music or ebooks while riding :)
I haven’t heard this since it came out! I like it even more, now ❤️
Badman's song from this very same album is by far the best song on the album.
The jazz intro is sooo good !!!
My favorite song by them. A huge all enveloping sound.
the song was a protest of the policies re-election of conservative Margaret Thatcher. the new works by them is worth a listen too,
TFF and the Fixx are still active and 2 of the best bands of the era, thanks
Hey guys…Steven Wilson recently mixed this in 5.1 and said the original stereo mix of The Seeds Of Love is so perfect…he didn’t want to touch it. My favorite song on the album is definitely Badman’s Song… I would love to see you react to that! It’s a special album for sure. Thx so much!
Saw them live 2 weeks ago. Phenomenal show
Love me some Tears for Fears. I saw them live once in 1994 I think. Fantastic band. The music video is great as well, a must view. Btw, your audio on this song was just amazing, both the song and your own voices.
I was lucky enough to see Tears For Fears live last year and they bring so much energy. If you would like to dig a bit deeper into their work, then I recommend you try ‘I Believe’. It’s a very emotive song.
They're song Head Over Heels is maybe my favorite song of the 80s!
They do have an incredible album from 2004 called Everybody Loves a Happy Ending...any song off that album is great.
Secret World
Ladybird
A couple of great songs from that album. Give that album a listen it's incredible.
such an unusual construction of the composition brings to mind a piece of some kind of rock opera.
A song of the highest quality. The songwriting, performances and production are stellar. A prime example of
the SSL sound.
Tears For Fears have been my favourite band since I first heard Mad World in 1982, I've been waiting for you to review another of their songs, your Woman In Chains review was awesome, I loved seeing how it almost brought you to tears. Their is a track on Seeds Of Love called Badman's Song, I'd love to watch both your faces if you review that, they take you to church on that one, and Oleta Adams shares vocals on it. I don't know if you are aware, TFF are a duo, both guys sing lead vocal, Roland who sings the two songs you have reviewed sings most, but Curt takes lead on songs like Mad World and Everybody Wants To Rule The World. I'd love you to review a Curt vocal, such as Advice For The Young At Heart, or Long Long Long Time which is my favourite track from their recently released new album The Tipping Point, it's a song that takes a couple of listens for it to grow, I'd also love to see you review the title track of the new album which both Roland and Curt sing together. The Tipping Point was written about the death of Roland's wife in 2017. Keep up the good work, you two are brilliant.
Love their new song Long Long Long Time. So beautiful.
Have you heard that Tears for Fears has a new album out called "The Tipping Point"?
Yeah, it's quite good!
Guys, although I love Tears for Fears, there's another 80's band you could check: "Level 42". It's a British band.
Suggestion: check songs like: "Running the Family", "Lying Stilll" or "Children Say" and also, "It's Over". ❤❤
This in my opinion is there greatest song! Has always been the song I got the most excited about when I first heard it. Epic and definitely homage to the Beatles in a flattering way!
the entire The Seeds of Love album is pretty much a homage of the Beetles (It was one of the most expensive albums at the time) the entire album has that “Wall of Sound” vibe (Its a impressive/amazing album) Tears for Fears is so criminally overlooked imo 👍👍👍👍❤❤❤👍👍👍
Awesome that Nick is wearing his Snakes & Arrows shirt while listening to Tears For Fears. A fabulous combo!!
A great song from a brilliant album, you must do "Badman's song" with the amazing Oletta Adams sharing lead vocals & performing incredible jazz piano, IMO the best track on the album, cheers
I love this track so much. It's the best song the Beatles never wrote! Even the drum fills are very Ringo! I love the vocoder added to the vocal in parts. So many layers in this song. Best thing to come out of Bath, UK since the Romans founded the City.
The Lyrics are so good! I'm surprised you didn't mention them?
I spy tears in their eyes
They look to the skies for some kind of divine intervention
Food goes to waste
So nice to eat, so nice to taste
Politician granny with your high ideals (reference to Margret Thatcher)
Have you no idea how the majority feels?
So without love and a promised land
We're fools to the rules of a government plan
One of my favorite bands, and Lex's necklace looks like it's right off the The Seeds of Love cover - well done!
I just saw Tears For Fears live in my hometown San Diego last Sunday. I saw them
40yrs ago when they toured on “Songs From The Big Chair.” I couldn’t believe
how tight they were. They just released a new LP called “The Tipping Point.”
Their first in 17yrs! It’s quite good…maybe you can check one out in the future. 🌻
It's great you are hitting Tears for Fears again one of the few bands of the 80s that i enjoy listening to. I'm going to see them next month I can't wait. Check out Simple Minds "Belfast Child" from the same period.
And since y’all are so familiar with most of their well known tracks, I’d HIGHLY recommend checking out their brand new single (first one in 17 years!!) called the Tipping Point, it’s brilliant and deserves a listen also!
Love this one! Yes it is so Beatles and that’s exactly why I love it. So well done.
'Kick out the Style bring back the Jam' always makes me smile, a dig at The Style Council!
They are touring now. They sound the same even though they just hit age 60. Soo good.
A favorite TfF album of mine is the later release Raoul And The Kings of Spain.
Elemental, for me.
Loving their new album The Tipping Point, especially Rivers of Mercy. They just have some magic together that is not yet tapped...
Rivers of Mercy is my favorite too. The whole album is a masterpiece - these guys are simply amazing lyricists and musicians.
this is definitely a Beatles sounding song and the cover is their Sgt. Pepper. The trumpet echoes the one in Penny Lane, the tumbling drums are something Ringo would play, and the lyrics express the spirit of the 1960's in a sincere and very musical way. I grew up in the 60s-70s, and this song moves me every time I hear it. This whole album is their masterpiece. You should listen to Year Of The Knife. It's great to see you hear all this great music of our times, be well and happy!
Good call on the Beatlesesque feel to this song. I've loved (and played) it for years, and never noticed it, but you're absolutely right.. Great reaction! 🖤
Tears for fears are currently on tour in the US by the way, catch them if you can, great live show
80s bands worth to listen : Talk Talk, Talking Heads, The Cure, Fleetwood Mac, Prince, New Order... a lot!
What a great tune!! Yes, so beatle-like. Thanks guys!
The 90s Sgt. Pepper , such a great album. I was working at a Record Store in Vienna when this was released and after the first time listening to it i was like 'Meeh' , then i listened to it again a bit later the same day and it was like a positive punch into the face - to this day still on my Desert Island Discs Top 10 ;)
I bought this album when it was released and I bought the September 1989 edition of Q magazine that had an interview with Roland Orzabal. He said he was trying to capture the essence of the Beatles. Many of the sounds on this album were produced with the Korg M1 hich was the keybaord to have at the time. It also had the story of how he and Kurt met Oleta Adams when they walked into a piano bar where she was playing one evening. They were so impresed that they asked her if she wanted to sing on their upcoming album. This song's lyrics make references to British politics at the time refering to Margaret Thatcher. The line "Kick out the tyle,bring back the Jam" is refering to Paul Weller's bands The Jam and The style Council whereby the earlier The Jam had a rough edgy sound and the Style Council had mellowed and reflected the changes that were happening in Britain thoughout the 80s.
Time for Blood Sweat And Tears, "God Bless The Child", I think you'd love this song Lex. One of 68s best songs, and a great album.
Alexia was a giggle factory today! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Made me smile and giggle too!!!!!!!!!
For me it's the solo and the breakdown at the end of it in Domination by Pantera that always makes me come back to that song.
Great lyrics. Great song.
One of the most complex pop songs ever, there's so much going on. Check out 'The Working Hour', you'll love it. The saxophone on that song is just amazing. It was never a single, but it's become a fan favourite.
Probably my favourite band I've seen them twice live and they sound as good live as they do on record or disc.
Thanks guys
You guys had me smiling all the way through, quite a challenge for The Nick n Lex 'Air instrument orchestra' LOL
Guys listen and watch their new video " The Tipping Point" off their latest album.. still got it! Great review you two!
Hi guys, yes they got a lot of radio air play with their singles and appearances on Top Of The Pops here in England during the 80's. Only a few weeks ago they appeared on an early news programme called "Breakfast Tv" announcing their return with a new album plus tour after many years apart. It's good to hear this again. The Beatles Homage is intentional. This is such a good track ... love the nod to 'I am the Walrus' & 'Penny Lane'. Great reaction thankyou. Byeee ! Jim X ... By the way there are two vocalists always singing together or adding harmonies for each other.
Great track, great album. Saw them in the UK in 2019. Brilliant live. I believe their touring in the USA right now! Go see em!!
I did see them last week! Such a fun show!
Great song. Great band.
You’ve the perfect example of a good catchy song with great artistic quality. The best of the 80’s.
Hope we see more TFF. Another great song from this album is Badman's Song. Also, their new album might be there best since this album. Hope you check it out. The Tipping Point, My Demons, and Rivers of Mercy are my standouts on the new album.
Great review to an awesome 80s track. The hiden gem on this album is "year of the knife".
The song that gave me chills back then by them and still does: "Head Over Heels" from Songs From the Big Chair. Oooooo.
You guys getting close to 50K subs ! 👏
“ I want my MTV!” Please do more 80s it’s different in the 70s and the coolest way possible. This was my favorite Tears for Fears song
Roland has the voice of an angel, and can sing for any Opera in America. "Woman in Chains" should be next. Too many others to mention. I have seen them Live a couple times and they are SO good.
FROM same Album..
"woman in chains"..featuring and great singer..Oletta Adams!
The Beatles homage was definitely intentional here. They draw from a lot of their songs, but at the same time do something very different by mixing them all together and putting their own slant on it. This song is a journey of different movements. If you aren't familiar with stuff from their first album, The Hurting, that's where you should go next. And as far as the 80's being about synth, it was definitely what a lot of people were experimenting with for the first time, but the thing I loved about the 80's is New Wave and then Alt rock could be anything from guitar rock to synth to World Music. One of favorites from the 80's was Juluka, a South African band and their albums Scatterlings and Stand Your Ground. The hit was Scatterlings From Africa. If you want to check out an 80's tune that will really surprise you, try that one.
Tears For Fears two biggest hits in the "80's were "Shout" and "Everybody Wants To Rule The World". But they have a lot of great songs that got less airplay.
Roland Orzabal is one of the best singers, song writers, guitarists ever.
His voice and guitar solos are underrated.❤
Something to consider in the future...#nicknlexrequest INXS from the Album Kick (Great Album!) - Kick or New Sensation or Mystify or Never Tear Us Apart. Another 80s band that seemed to not get the respect they deserved. They rocked!
My favorite song of theirs followed closely by Shout and Mad World
