  • "Shout" is a song by the British band Tears for Fears, released as a single in 1984. It was also featured on their second studio album, "Songs from the Big Chair." "Shout" became one of their most successful and well-known songs, reaching the top 10 on various music charts around the world.
    The song is known for its powerful and anthemic sound, combining elements of new wave and synth-pop with emotionally charged lyrics. "Shout" carries a message about standing up for oneself and expressing frustrations and emotions loudly. The repetitive chorus, where they sing, "Shout, shout, let it all out," became an iconic part of the song.
    "Shout" received critical acclaim and achieved commercial success, solidifying Tears for Fears' position as one of the leading bands of the 1980s. It remains a popular and recognizable song to this day, often associated with the new wave and synth-pop genres of that era.

    This song will always be etched in my memory. My paternal grandpa got kicked out when he was 14. He raised 9 kids, but never owned his own home. My dad bought a trailer and put it in our back yard so my grandparents didn't have to pay rent anymore. After they died he rented it to my cousin who was much older than us. They were having a party and this song was playing. I just walked over uninvited, LMAO! They didn't say anything and I didn't stay long, but I thought it was so cool!

    Great song and Great Reaction guys. Tears for Fears were possibly better known in the UK/Europe/Australia & New Zealand than in USA. Maybe you could do a reaction to either "Mad World" or "Everybody wants to rule the world". Another band from that era and also from the UK that you may want to react to would be "Simple Minds". Their best known US hit would probably be "Don't you Forget about Me" which featured (think it was the opening theme) for the 80s movie "The Breakfast Club".

    Tears For Fears released their seventh studio album The Tipping Point in February 2022. It debuted at no.1 on Billboard’s top album sales in March 2022. It peaked on the US Billboard 200 at no. 8. It was No.1 on the Billboard US Top Alternative Albums,and the US Top Rock Albums. Everyone was doing reaction videos around that time and they have been touring to support the album. Great album. You should give it a listen. They released 5 singles from the album along with videos for each one. The album was a top 5 hit in the UK. It was a top 10 hit in Australia, France, Germany, Ireland, Switzerland, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

    Check out the song Elemental. It's from the Tears For Fears album that came out after this duo broke up, so it was really just Roland Orzabal by himself. It's an amazing song, one of those awesome early 90s songs that hacks into your central nervous system and won't leave you alone. I used to play it on repeat, and it still sounds incredible.

    If you like their sound, you should check out their new (2022) album of all new songs. They still sound amazing, and are great to see live. The new album, The Tipping Point, has some cool tunes like "My Demons" and, if you listen first to their Songs From The Big Chair "Woman in Chains," they have a "part 2 sort of" with "Break The Man." They're from Bath England, FYI. I was a sometime fan of theirs in the 80s, but have learned to love them even more, especially with the new music. Warning, they don't look like they did in the 80s, though.

    Not sure if this song is as much a song against social norms than against the oppression of authoritarian governments and the wars that those governments execute against peaceful nations. This song is also probably about the cold war era where USA and Soviet Union were competing with each other with the threat of nuclear war being a very real thing.
