    The beautiful song was secondary to what we were watching. When Lex leaned into Nick and emoted that she knew what he was feeling inside - and conveyed that feeling through a loving touch - The connection of two spirits in love - is the world's most beautiful thing. I would die - and go directly to heaven - if a woman looked at me that way.

    Tears For Fears was never a typical 80's pop band. The quality of their arrangements, production, and experimentation was always leagues above their peers. This song is a timeless classic along with tracks like I Believe, The Working Hour, Bad Man's Song, and Sketches of Pain. So much more than just pop.

    In 1985, Adams was discovered by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, founders of the English band Tears for Fears, while she was performing in a hotel bar in Kansas City, Missouri, while they were on a US tour. Two years later, they contacted her to invite her to join their band as a singer and pianist on their next album, The Seeds of Love.
    In 1989, the album was released and the single "Woman in Chains", sung as a duet by Adams and Orzabal and with Phil Collins on drums, became her first hit. Adams embarked on a world tour with Tears For Fears in 1990, performing by herself as the supporting artist at the start of each show, and remaining onstage throughout the Tears For Fears set where she would provide piano and vocals.

Something of an intro into the 90's where pop/rock music was more stripped down and basic. Too bad this song didn't chart as well as Seeds Of Love.

Your video reaction of Tears For Fears Woman In Chains is a most wonderful example of beauty. I feel like Nick is my friend because of our mutual enjoyment and love of Steely Dan.
    But here, with Woman In Chains and Nick's reaction (three separate times knocking his forehead, asking "How could this get any better") I feel, then, that he and I are kindred spirits.

    What just happened? You just heard one of the best albums of the 80s.
    Interesting story about Oletta Adams: the band was touring their second album (Songs From The Big Chair) and they felt stuck to all the machines they used on stage, all the keyboards and sequencers and drum machines. One depressing night they stumbled into their hotel after the show and found this lady playing piano and singing songs for a living in the bar of the hotel and were amazed by her. After the tour they started working on this particular album and were getting nowhere and felt they were stuck in a rut and wanted to come up with a sound that was more organic. And then they remembered her and the way she made them feel and eventually tracked her down and invited her to become involved in the making of the album. Eventually she ended up playing on at least three songs and singing on the this song and the song Bad Man's Song and also came with them on tour. Then TFF had the genius idea of starting every show with Oleta singing the song I Believe (from their second album) after which the whole band would come on stage.

    I think I trained my ears at an early age with the "British Invasion" sound (Beatles, Stones, The Who, etc) and then was subsequently attracted to later British bands and their releases. Tears For Fears, Howard Jones, Joy Division then New Order, Pet Shop Boys, Eurythmics, The Smiths, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Roxy Music, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Duran Duran, Wham, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Happy Mondays, etc, etc I am not saying there weren't great American Bands of the same era, but I leaned toward that particular "British" sound out of my love for the early "Invasion" sound. Love you music travels Guys! Enjoy! PS another wonderful recommendation would be "Don't Give Up" Peter Gabriel with Kate Bush...yummy beautiful sound.

    Yeah, what just happened?? I was with you all the way.. very emotional.. it was spiritual. So incredibly beautiful wasn’t it? I feel so lucky that I was around when it came out. Seeds of love will be an album I get again on vinyl very soon.
    It’s so good to see you guys react in this way.

    I first heard this song about 8 months ago and, admittedly, I had about the same reaction as Nick... totally blown away... an absolute masterpiece in my opinion. Somewhat ironically, I was in the middle of writing a screenplay at the time and I realized this is the perfect song for the FADE OUT and ROLL CREDITS, so I added it to the script, which subsequently became an award winner (not yet picked up by a producer, but there is always hope, right?). Anyway, just wanted to say that I loved your reaction (both Nick & Lex)... keep up the great work!

    My college roommate had a big kickin' stereo back in 1990 and he introduced me to this. I just layed by his speaker and listened to this with my eyes closed. When it ended, I remember saying "play it again!" and I proceded to listen to it over and over while he did his homework on his computer.

    Oleta Adams vocals on here are great. Her "Get Here if you Can" is a beautiful song. Not necessarily to review, but worth a listen in your free time.

    I saw TFF live when they were supporting this album. I knew nothing about them save for Shout and Everybody Wants to Rule the World. It still stands 30 years later as the greatest concert I’ve ever attended. I’ve never been so moved by music before. Absolutely overwhelming.

    • @lcampise
      @lcampise 2 роки тому +1

      Right. I wasn't into this album yet when I saw them in Dallas on the Seeds of Love tour. And was blown away when Oleta and her piano came up out of the stage, playing this, i think!? Opening song? I don't think I made that up. Is that how you remember it?

    I remember when I first heard this song and it went straight into my top 10 of all time. After listening to it more and processing it further, it turned into my favorite song. I almost feel like everyone after this song should’ve just given up as music had peaked.
    Love your reaction too, btw. I’ll be honest in that I normally find some of these reaction vids a bit cringe, but you two gave me the feels. ❤

    @jeffw6912 3 роки тому +7

    Thanks for your effort and open hearts you pour into these videos. Tears for fears has many terrific songs that didn't make radio play. at the time Album/CD sales were still popular, and they always had four or five out of nine songs on each album that had a groove or a feeling that stuck. try the Hurting, Working Hour, Change, Pale Shelter, and Mother's Talk. Even if you don't make a video on them, just for you be sure to listen. Enjoy!

    Great band ,great song , one of the best SOUNDING albums of the 80s, and a perfect example of prog pop. Tears For Fears are criminally underrated, and deserve far more praise than they get. They are a musicians band . Metalheads , proggers , rockers , popstars....TFF is universally respected.
    There isn't one weak link on this album, " Seeds Of Love" , and the same goes for " Songs From The Big Chair" . Two back to back PERFECT albums.....

    I'm just really glad that you guys didn't interrupt the song. I grew up listening to '80s music and I don't know you. would always appreciate the song when you listen to it completely and I'm really glad that younger generations like you guys just take it all in and listen and then make your remarks. but I'm also glad that you guys appreciate it too because I'm in my forties now and this song still has the same emotional impact as it did when I listen to it when I was a little kid. thank you guys. there's still hope for the young generation

    Tears for Fears songs always had such a sadness. Big Pop Band from the 80s with 3 very good Albums: The Hurting (my favorite), Songs from the Big Chair and The Seeds of Love (in the ranking portal Best Albums Ever No. 422). Pop music of the better kind.🎧🇩🇪

    guys. I just came across this on UA-cam. Friday night after a hard week at work in a pressurised job I get a few beers and listen to my favourite music. watching you experience this song that I have loved since in came out really brought tears to my eyes. how brilliant is it. the lyrics are so deep and its incredible. crying probably because I could see how it made me feel sink in with another couple of people on screen was incredible. thanks x

    So nice to see you reacting to this song, not many people have. Tears For Fears are a particular favorite of mine. This album, Seeds of Love, is really good. The album Elemental is a classic. It includes the title cut Elemental and Break It Down Again, both received heavy airplay on our local alternative radio station here in Columbus. Mr. Pessimist is another beautiful song from the album along with my favorite cut, Goodnight Song, which has a great video. But... then there's the Raoul and the Kings of Spain album. OMG, breathtaking. The title cut (and first track :)) is phenomenal. Secrets is stunning and Sketches of Pain (noted below) shouldn't be missed. Again, so glad you had a chance to enjoy Woman in Chains, it's s splendid song and a splendid reaction from both of you.
