Hi Jay! Here’s a suggestion for your one hit wonder list “I’ve never been to me” by Charlene. It was a worldwide hit for reasons still unknown. Also no one else on UA-cam has reacted to it! Cheers ✌️🇦🇺🥰 ua-cam.com/video/2oSjhuIb6Us/v-deo.html
We are the cool generation. Best music ever. I was a teen in the 70's & saw almost every artist back then. Wouldn't trade it for the world. We may be old but we are cool. My granddaughter & her friends say I'm the bomb. Cooler than their parents. I take it a a huge compliment.✌🌻🌻
The last line, "Funny how time flies" is such a true statement. One moment you are 18yo hearing Tears for Fears for the first time and the next moment, you are a 55yo grandparent... Thank goodness for the music carrying me through all these years!!! 😍🥰😍🥰
One of my favorite bands from the 80's. Remember sitting at the Jersey shore listening on my boombox to their songs over & over. To go back to 20 yrs old.
Hi Dawn, we are the same age and everything you said goes for me too, including the grandparent part. Isn't it crazy that people from totally different parts of the world can share an experience through music. And such great music it is.
Another perfect song. Bassist Gail Dorsey played with this excellent band until she got a call from Mr. David Bowie. She was his bassist until he passed. She has such high praise for this great band. Check her out, excellent musician.
What was so great about them is that they both took "turns" singing lead and that's saying alto because you never saw that with Hall & Oates. This Video was filmed in Toronto, Ontario and keep in mind that Duran Duran, The Police, Wham and even The Backstreet Boys were popular in Canada before they hit the big time in America. They also were one of many Acts who appeared on American Bandstand in the 1980's.
You want hits check those "Change" "Mad World" " Pale Shelter" "Mothers Talk" "Advice For The Young At Heart" "Badman's Song" "Sowing The Seeds Of Love" "Woman In Chains" "Year Of The Knives" "Break It Down Again".
I was overjoyed when the TFF reunited. They are finishing a new album by the end of this year. Their live performances are amazing, they still sound great. Curt Smith and his daughter Diva did a beautiful cover for "Mad world" during the quarantine. Check it out. Also look for Spotify landmark: Tears for fears. Many people comment that they have changed a lot, 35 years have passed, haven't they? They look great, they sound great still.
I totally forgot this was set in a library - as a librarian, I'm Head Over Heels seeing an actual card catalog :) I believe both the singers of the group contributed to the songwriting and lyrics. Yes, very talented and in 1985, they were a tour de force. Thanks for sharing!
I remember taking a field trip to the library in grade school. We learned how to use the card catalog system and how to check out books! We also had a mobile library that would drive around town. It was a big truck with a makeshift library inside! 🤭😁 📖📚
@Hillary's emails to Lorne I think many will want to, at times, hold a real book. Other information may never get digitized but much smaller brick and mortar space will be needed in the future for sure.
As a graduate student I spent time with the special collections in the library where they filmed this (Emmanuel College). It was around 2002 or thereabouts, so a good 15 or so years after the video came out. I remember looking around, wondering aloud why it seemed oddly familiar, and -- I kid you not -- the librarian who was helping me rolled her eyes _hard_ and half-shouted in exasperation: "That damned monkey! Took us forever to clean up that mess!"
I heard this song today at work. It takes me back to the first cassette I ever bought. 💗 'Songs From the Big Chair'...Definitely one of the best albums of the 80s!
Love this soooo much... and never realised how many mullets were in this video! 80's charm. This group always look like they absolutely love what they do
"Sowing the Seeds of Love " and "Woman in Chains" are 2 more songs from Tears for Fears you'll really love I think. Great reactions man. Thank you so much!
TFF is my fave band hands down. SO much talent! Your so right about Rolands voice! It's unmistakable. He got more than his fair share of vocal prowess!
Yes, yes. What a tune. I've waiting for you to react to this. Tears for fears tunes are about getting into the music. That's what is all about. Seeds of love next. Top reaction yet again.
I love your take on what makes them so great. And yes, Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith are both incredibly talented singers. Other Tears for Fears songs to check out: “Mad World” “Break it Down Again” “Sowing the Seeds of Love” “Elemental”
TFF were definitely top of the pile during the 80's brother! Keep on the TFF journey you will not be disappointed. The 80's in the UK was a great decade for music as was the 90's.
So happy to see young people discover and appreciate bands that have been with me since I was 15 in 1983. Roland Orzabal (lead singer on Head Over Heels) and Curt Smith (lead singer on Everybody Wants to Rule the World) split up after their 3rd Beatle-sque album The Seeds of Love in 1989 (listen to the track of the same name, as well as Women In Chains with the soul voice of Oleta Adams and the beats of french drummer Manu Katché). Orzabal went on with 2 albums under the TFF name in the 90s, « Elemental » and « Raoul and the Kings of Spain ». Then they re-united at the beginning of the 2000s with another Beatle-sque album « Everybody loves a happy ending », and are still touring together these days. Check out the video recorded by Curt Smith and his daughter during the confinment, where they played « Mad World », a single from TFF 1st album « The Hurting » back in 1983. Enjoy, man ;)
Aaaaaah yaaaah taking me back to 5th grade (85) Always been an old fav of mine. I actually just finally got opportunity to see them live like 4 yrs ago. It was awesome they sounded great. This whole album really takes me back.
Got married in 2005. We had this song blazing out as we walked out in a shower of confetti from the hotel we got married in. We loved the almost church bell like intro at the begining. It looked awesome on our wedding video
Been in love with this band (and Roland ❤) since forever. Have seen them live many times. They are back together and still touring and if I were not so old and decrepit I would be in the front row.
They shot this video at a library in Toronto the day after they performed live at Massey Hall in 1985. Woman In Chains is another great Tears For Fears song.
I believe this was their debut video on MTV and introduction to most people, I remember falling in love with them when this came out and they never disappointed since, even though they did grow musically, which is always wonderful to watch.
That’s my FAVORITE SONG! ... I’m so glad younger people are discovering legends... and from outside their culture or comfort zone. That’s quite admirable! - Keep it up! We love it! 💙
I’m so glad you LOVE them too! I was born in the early 60s so much of my musical taste runs to 60s & 70s “classic rock”. TFF blew me away in the 80s! They are still on several of my playlists that I listen to on the regular. ✌🏼♥️🎼
Tears for Fears have a really nice solid sound and the songs have real meaning! Roland and Curt both have amazing voices! I think they were really a underrated band!❤️❤️
First time I heard this one was on a Rockola jukebox, when it came out. I was playing pool with friends, and eyeing a beautiful girl. What memories this stirs.
Dude, you just watched/listened to an all time masterpiece. both visual and audio. This song is so everlasting it outshines a lot of other "greatest hits" of the time that just faded away (*this was not considered a huge hit when released) . You will never get tired of listening to that song as it depicts the human condition , our journey through life , being early clueless to looking back on it all and wondering how it all went by so fast.
I was obsessed with the drums on this song, my gosh, thousands of times i listened this song (all the album is a masterpiece), and every time that drums made me crazy... Some other songs to enjoy from them!!! "The Working Hour", "Mad World", "Pale Shelter", "Mothers Talk", "Memories Fade", "Woman in Chains", "Advice for the Young at Heart", "Sowing the Seeds of Love"... You have a lot to enjoy!!!
I'm leaving a comment ;-) I remember this from my teenage years. I get more from it now than I did then. I love your reactions J. You have me coming in all hours of the day now to see them. It's a comfort, so, thank you 😊
This was one of my favorite videos of theirs because of the humor in it... Roland's crush on the librarian, the cards flying out of the card catalog (a la "Ghostbusters"), The "Bang?" gun, Roland looking confused as the floats up to the 2nd floor of the library (followed by that "Oh, yeah! I'm singing a song here!"), Ian Stanley finally catching the book on take three, Curt kissing the chimp... all of it made for such a fun video to go with a fabulous song! Side note: Roland was also trained in classical opera in his youth, which is why his vocals can range all over... from low to super high. I have a French Tears for Fears interview from 1993 (when it was just Roland as TFF) on my channel here on YT... and at the 15:04 mark of that video, you can hear Roland warming up with some operatic vocals! It is amazing!
My favorite Tears for Fears song. It's just...it's absolute magic. They were part of the soundtrack of my childhood. Their songs were always so emotional, passionate, and sometimes, aspirational. Loved them then. Love them now.
Jay von just another of their fab songs,they have dozens of them.They just seemed to get better and better the more songs they wrote.For me their masterpiece is The Working Hour, its absolutely mind blowingly fantastic,you have to react to this one.
1984-90 that was their peak. There was a huge transition in music in early 90s. Techno/House/rap (internationally) took over. Tears force fears, Bruce hornsby, simply red, simple minds etc... were really the last of their breeds going into the early 90s.

Check out some police songs. Eagles, Heart, Earth Wind & Fire.
Eric
He’s done quite a few reactions to The Police, The Eagles & Earth, Wind & Fire. Not sure about Heart though.
Liston to the song on their GOING TO SANTA BARBARA CONCERT, it's the second song. Amazing!!!
Please listen to woman in chains.......epic
As an old fart, it warms my heart when the youngsters appreciate the really good music from the 80s. It was a different world indeed.
We are the cool generation. Best music ever. I was a teen in the 70's & saw almost every artist back then. Wouldn't trade it for the world. We may be old but we are cool. My granddaughter & her friends say I'm the bomb. Cooler than their parents. I take it a a huge compliment.✌🌻🌻
You know it brother
Quite the boomer comment
@TroysPepperstick actually people who were teens/early 20s in the 1980s were Generation X.
@@runtomelonely6346 yes not boomers at all, we are gen X
The last line, "Funny how time flies" is such a true statement. One moment you are 18yo hearing Tears for Fears for the first time and the next moment, you are a 55yo grandparent... Thank goodness for the music carrying me through all these years!!! 😍🥰😍🥰
Yes, yesterday I was a sophomore in high school, and now I'm 51. The hell?
Funny how he never sings that last line anymore...🤔😉🤷♀️
One of my favorite bands from the 80's. Remember sitting at the Jersey shore listening on my boombox to their songs over & over. To go back to 20 yrs old.
Dawn Siskowic our nursing homes are gonna be jammin 🤣 we will charge admissions
Hi Dawn, we are the same age and everything you said goes for me too, including the grandparent part. Isn't it crazy that people from totally different parts of the world can share an experience through music. And such great music it is.
“Sowing the Seeds of Love” is a must!
YES!!!!
Their Tribute to the Beatles!
Another perfect song.
Bassist Gail Dorsey played with this excellent band until she got a call from Mr. David Bowie. She was his bassist until he passed. She has such high praise for this great band.
Check her out, excellent musician.
Yes 👌
YES an absolute must!!" Don't delay... check out today!!!
Roland Orzabal (singer in this song) is the main songwriter. He’s incredible ❤️
Now this I heard and loved!
Elemental was a great album.
They are without a doubt master Songwriters.
The Duckman!
Songs from the big chair is an awesome album as well 😁😁😁
They're at the top of my 80s pop/rock playlist. Will never tire of them.
Probably the best extende version of Head over heels there is ua-cam.com/video/Hr277V_cB6Q/v-deo.html
@@DJFunkygroove thx

Me too
Roland has one of the best voices-five octave range? Good God’
Gotta check out Mad World!
Absolutely
It's so different from the later version from the Donnie Darko soundtrack!
@@3DJapan That because it's a cover by another guy... Gary Jules.
I think he ought to check out the version Curt Smith did with his daughter during quarantine
Tears For Fears' original is the one and only version, I absolutely love it.
You will definitely love their song "Woman In Chains" featuring songstress Oleta Adams
I've been asking for that one for a bit now. Maybe one day.
I saw them live and finally got the meaning of woman in chains and it
Made
Me
Cry
@@janettem7374 💯😢
UUUUUUUP
Sean Mitchell Me too.
"Pale Shelter" is an awesome underrated song of theirs, I recommend it!
I think this is probably my favourite TFF song, so amazing!
Agreed
It's unbelievable to me that this song, shout, and everybody wants to rule the world came from the same album
You are right on pal!
Tears for fears, were talented lads. Always worth your time.
Probably the best extende version of Head over heels there is ua-cam.com/video/Hr277V_cB6Q/v-deo.html
You want hits check those "Change" "Mad World" " Pale Shelter" "Mothers Talk" "Advice For The Young At Heart" "Badman's Song" "Sowing The Seeds Of Love" "Woman In Chains" "Year Of The Knives" "Break It Down Again".

Don't forget the fan favorite 'The Working Hour'. Should've been a single.
I love Badman's Song especially the live version at Knebworth.
The whole Seeds of Love album is a TFF masterpiece!
All of those are great songs but let's face it Tears for Fears are just brilliant all over.
You have got to hear “Woman in Chains”. !! It’s amazing!!!
UUUUUUUP
ABSOLUTELY. Always give me goosebumps.
I knew you'd love this one. Sowing The Seeds Of Love next, please.
And please please do Vienna by Ultravox and their other song Dancing With Tears In My Eyes. I really think you'll enjoy them.
"Pale Shelter" is another good one from this band.
Yes it is! Love that song and music video☺
Its one of my fav
"Pale Shelter" was the first TFF song I ever heard & this is before they became famous. I've been a fan since then.
Definitely!
Songs From The Big Chair is one of the greatest albums. Not just from the 80's but from all time. Superb.
"I can dream about you" Dan Hartman!!! you won't be sorry! Head over heels is awesome brother!
Forgot how great this song is. Quintessential 1980s right there. Awesome.

As soon as I saw the card catalog I started laughing-imagining the current high school set wondering what on earth THAT was!
I worked in a library before computers took over..... Kinda miss the issue system..... Brings back memories. ❤️
I worked in a large reference library years ago with woman who looked like that. I should write a song about that too.

Don't forget C&C Music Factory Gonna Make You Sweat(Everybody Dance Now)!
Both excellent songs
Love this soooo much... and never realised how many mullets were in this video! 80's charm. This group always look like they absolutely love what they do
80s music is always the best.
there's a fine line between being catchy or repetitive, and they do a great job of being catchy!
My favourite band of the eighties. Songs from the big chair is such a classic.
"Sowing the Seeds of Love " and "Woman in Chains" are 2 more songs from Tears for Fears you'll really love I think. Great reactions man. Thank you so much!
They always lift me up. So many layers to their songs, so versatile, so greatly compositioned! Thanks for listening!
"Change" and "Mad World" by TFF are also good tracks
I love Change 💖
Change is my favourite song of theirs
Yes! This is my favorite Tears for Fears song! 😁
TFF is my fave band hands down. SO much talent!
Your so right about Rolands voice! It's unmistakable. He got more than his fair share of vocal prowess!
Anything from Songs from the Big Chair album were AWESOME 👍🔥💯💥
These guys knew how to fill every second of a song with such quality, amazing songwriting and performance.
Love how much you love TFF. You definitely need to do Pale Shelter and Sowing the Seeds of Love.
Absolutely one of the greatest bands hands down!
I am impressed that you get it .. .love ya J !!!

Another great song. One of my favorite groups of the 80s. Keep em coming Jayvee
Tears for Fears is AWESOME!!!!! This was always my favorite song from them. Especially loved hearing it in Donnie Darko - two greats together!!
One of my favorite songs from Tears for fears back 1985. I was just 10 years old when came out! What a memories!!
They are MIND blowing in live concert!!!
TFF were definitely top of the pile during the 80's brother! Keep on the TFF journey you will not be disappointed. The 80's in the UK was a great decade for music as was the 90's.

I love this band too! They were great! Many skills in every member!
One of my favorite bands. Love watching your reactions 👍
Great 80's band! Brings back memories from my teenage years. They had some really fantastic, catchy songs. "Shout" is probably my favourite.
Tears for Fears always has great dynamics in their songs. 🕊🎸🕊
My all time favourite band. Saw them live in 2019 and they were amazing
I agree
.. There's something special about this band 100%
There is something very special about TFF! They are super-talented. Great reaction! Love Mad World.
Aaaaaah yaaaah taking me back to 5th grade (85)
Always been an old fav of mine. I actually just finally got opportunity to see them live like 4 yrs ago.

Who??

Haha that's an awesome happy accident version of his name.
A perfect song about love!
This is one of my favorite songs ever!
SHOUT SHOUT LET IT ALL OUT
This was always my favorite sing by them
Been in love with this band (and Roland ❤) since forever. Have seen them live many times. They are back together and still touring and if I were not so old and decrepit I would be in the front row.

This was always my favorite of their songs. Never missed this video when it was on MTV. And I grew up to marry a librarian/archivist.
Loved your reaction. All I can say is this song is My🍀 what a great song.❤️😀👍✌️🌼Love and peace.
I seen these a couple of years a go and they are still amazing, they are so entertaining as well and were loving being on stage. Just brilliant....
Mad World is a great song!
That’s my FAVORITE SONG! ... I’m so glad younger people are discovering legends... and from outside their culture or comfort zone. That’s quite admirable!
- Keep it up! We love it! 💙
I’m so glad you LOVE them too! I was born in the early 60s so much of my musical taste runs to 60s & 70s “classic rock”. TFF blew me away in the 80s! They are still on several of my playlists that I listen to on the regular.
✌🏼♥️🎼
Absolutely wonderful.You can't go wrong with Tears for Fears.Their music does not get old.Could be recorded today, and would fit.
I love "Tears for Fears".. 💛💙💜💜
Never played on radio, but Raul and the Kings of Spain is my favorite deep cuts of TFF!
They’re incredible live!
Tears for Fears have a really nice solid sound and the songs have real meaning! Roland and Curt both have amazing voices! I think they were really a underrated band!❤️❤️

Yes, great group, great song.
One of my biggest influences and favorite bands since I was kid.
Would love to see you do some "Little River Band". Songs like "Cool Change", "Emma", "Reminiscing", "Help is on it's way" and "Home On A Monday"
Please add 'Happy Anniversary Baby' to that list.
Tears for fears ..sowing the seeds of love is a great song
One of my favorites from the 80s.
"Killing Moon" by Echo and the Bunnymen is in this vein of 80's pop rock, but with a more gothic feel. Really great song.
Secret Travel Club used brilliantly on the Donny Darko soundtrack!
I'm leaving a comment ;-)
I remember this from my teenage years. I get more from it now than I did then.
I love your reactions J. You have me coming in all hours of the day now to see them.
It's a comfort, so, thank you 😊
They went on tour about 2 years ago! Check them out live when they go on tour again! Amazing stuff
Pale Shelter and this one are 2 of my favourites of theirs.
This was one of my favorite videos of theirs because of the humor in it... Roland's crush on the librarian, the cards flying out of the card catalog (a la "Ghostbusters"), The "Bang?" gun, Roland looking confused as the floats up to the 2nd floor of the library (followed by that "Oh, yeah!

This is my favorite Tears For Fears song. The drummer is doing some work! Takes me back to my senior year of high school.
you're right. they are great songwriters. there's a lesser-known song of theirs that i really love: 'advice for the young at heart'...
