In the summer of 1993, Roland Orzabal visited the U.S. to promote the release of Elemental, the first Tears for Fears album without Curt Smith. Here are two U.S. Tv interviews.
Roland Orzabal... poet, musician, songwriter, innovator, a father... being human. Thank you for sharing your talent... your gift of music that stays for a long time.
Can't believe this is like 20 yrs ago. Roland aged alot since this video. He was in his 30's here. Wish he still looked kinda close to this. Don't matter anyway, I still love you Roland. You are an intense, talented lyrical genius and great guitarist. You've inspired me to learn to play the guitar.😍😍
Mi bello Roland Orzabal es un Grande de la Musica junto a su amigo Curt Smith formaron una de las mejores Bandas y se convirtieron en iconos y representantes de la buena Musica a nivel mundial hasta hoy.TFF ayer hoy siempre. Los amo.💋💋🌻🌻⭐⭐
Just so awesome to actually hear the backstories and to hear them talk sometimes instead of listening to the music 24/7. bands and artists aren't just there for you listen to music, they're also there so you can listen to them speak and hear what they have to say, and its so interesting. I think Tears For Fears has some fantastic stories and Roland has done some great interviews.
Happy and blessing Birthday Roland. I wish all the best of the world.🇬🇧🇬🇧🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎤🎤🎤🎼🎼🎵🎶♥️♥️♥️Enjoy with your dear Family.cheer🍹🍹🍹🥂🥂🥂🥂🍸🍸💟💟💟🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂👋👋👋and let me enjoy your music.
Elemental is my favorite record of all time. I loved it when it came out, but was too young to keep up with interviews / press for it. So thank you for posting this, this album was horribly overlooked and unappreciated.
I agree with you enmasse - it is his best album and is very unapreciated. One of only 2 British artists from the 80s who hasn't put a foot wrong yet (Songwriting wise). The other one is George Michael. Even Prince has wrote some bummers. And he's a fu****g genius.
Ele é uma explosão de simpatia, talento, alegria, bondade, falando de Roland que se destaca mais por isso! Curt também é belo, risonho mas parece mais reservado. Mas de modo geral TFF é uma banda e tanto! Nunca mais haverá outra que se iguale ou supere!
So,I have never seen the video he is referring to regarding one of my favorite Songs, Break it Down. He says it's about the "Beauty of decay" Later ,he says it was through" trials and tribulations" he wrote/ collaborated with Alan GRIFFITHS+to create ELEMENTAL. I like to say "Bad things are Good things in Disguise" if not for those trials and tribulations There would be no ELEMENTAL. it's an ongoing process , Living and Learning is PERSISTENCE is the Key 🌎
yeah bcuz that was b4 the internet,and Id have to race home or have a friend vcr it 4 me if I couldnt catch TFF on tv..Those were the daaaayyyyyssss!!!!!
@natesot Ian Stanley left during the production of "The Seeds of Love" due to creative differences. Probably had something to do with Roland's changing visions for TFF.
I re-re-listened to this interview and I am curious what is missing where the woman says his next production is dedicated to Roland's Son, then a serious edit occurs? I'm curious about his son. 🌎🐛🦋🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🚴 ⛄
I know Ian Stanley left due to creative differences but does anyone know the reason why Manny Elias left? It would be cool if they got Ian and Manny back on board.
I don't really think about playing when I play the guitar. Interesting statement. Very very interesting. I feel so sorry for his son. What's coming for both of them is going to be horrific. But I'm sure Roland knows exactly what I'm talking about. Time's almost up right Roland?
Paul Baron OMG!!! How did u know his wife was going to die?? Are you a prophet or something?. Was he in the illuminati?? The blood of Jesus cover us all from evil..
Why is being a father and a famous musician a bad recepie for Happiness? Minus the fame , my father was a Nature nut, so my sister, myself & mom were always camping, spending time outdoors. My dad never told me he loved me and most communication was disciplinary.its been 25 years since his death and the legacy he left me is the appreciation and Love of Nature, something far more important than any words he could have said to me 🌎🐛🦋🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🚴 ⛄ Debsimms in Milwaukee
I think it's like John Lennon and Paul McCartney. They sound different separately but blend well together. Roland and Curt do have distinctive voices separately. But, I think they match closer than John and Paul did.
He's always kept his hair in this fashion since this album release. The latest TFF album has him with longer hair and gray/white all over. Sorry, never going to happen.
I swear, however he wears his hair, it looks perfect. Best hair in show business, folks
I love tears for fears and I'm in love with Roland...He's too freaking cute.
I am OBSESSED with him, and this is decades old!!
I'm an old lady and he is such a doll. I love his hair curly and now white
they are both beautiful lads!!! and so talented!
How Nice!
hes so cute when he smiles
he should smile more often :)
Roland Orzabal... poet, musician, songwriter, innovator, a father... being human. Thank you for sharing your talent... your gift of music that stays for a long time.
He is very attractive. I love his voice and mellow personality
💯
I'm jealous of Mrs Orzabal. She got her hands on him. :) Caroline Orzabal is a very lucky lady. :)
This is a great album. Roland is so hot, smart and tender. And he's my age! I love that.
I'm literally going crazy over Roland right now!!!
Aww.... I loved this parts where he was talking about his son. So cute
I'm just glad they're on common ground again. I was always crushing on Roland even though he had married. :)
I love Roland!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Back OFF!! He's MINE!! LOL!!!
@@karentroyer9688 no, he is mine
Haha you gotta go through me first!! Lol!!!
@@karentroyer9688 No he's mine!!

A spouses death will hit hard. Hes actually better looking now. Shame he fixed his overbite though. Just a straight male makin a comment.
@@helixmoore7636
I actually thought the overbite was attractive..contributed to his uniqueness..
@@judysmith-randle1558 totally agree.
@@judysmith-randle1558 💗💗💗💗
@@helixmoore7636 he didn’t fix it on purpose. he had to get new teeth because he didn’t floss.
drop dead gorgeous!! always.
So handsome and talented. I love Roland and Tears for Fears! Thank you for posting!
Phenomenal album!
Este hombre es embriagadamente hermoso💕

Roland.... pretty man 😍💖🔥
I have had a crush for years, but away from that the music is amazing and makes you think.
Just so awesome to actually hear the backstories and to hear them talk sometimes instead of listening to the music 24/7. bands and artists aren't just there for you listen to music, they're also there so you can listen to them speak and hear what they have to say, and its so interesting.

This one and Raol and the king of Spain are just brilliant albums.
Omg he's so cute! ; )

hahahaha, his hair is so shiny and voluminous here, it's crazy!

Boa noite. Sou apaixonada pelos Tears For Fears até hoje.Tudo de bom esses caras. E a voz de Orzabal!!!👍🌺🤝😘💥🤩

Such an amazing looking man. Those lips! Yum! Those eyes!
I like where he smiles but he talks about the joy then animal sounds and I wanted to hear him elaborate.
Roland so gorgeous and adorable and cutie pie ❤❤❤❤❤❤
another jewel where a genius describes their creative process. thank you for sharing.
...just a joy to watch and listen to. Thank you for posting. Be well.
I love them so much!
Great interviews. Good quality videos too. Thanks for sharing.
Quiet fire..cerebral...still waters run deep! Yup!!!
Fantastic tune,love Tears!!!

spinalcrackerbox I would not mind if He talked to me lol
Três.em.um.foi.extraordinário.💝😦🍁❤❤🙏

Love them both but have a huge crush on Curt!!!!!
It also made it easier for him to spend time with his wife and his children. :)
This album and the mastering of it has not AGED a bit, still sounds edgy and modern.
Agree
Felicitaciones para el entrevistador.....Por que no interrumpió a Roland y lo dejó expresarse naturalmente
💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Sim, admiro a educação dos dois.
Love the long hair back then!!
TY so so much, I love Tears for Fears!!
But its still really good music...i still like it a lot..
This is awesome stuff, ty for sharing!
incredibly underrated, but I guess that's because people like crap, not us though ;-)
TFF isn’t underrated. They did rule the world in 1985.
Curt was always my fav but they are both great.
Totally awesome 😅❤!!
yeah bcuz that was b4 the internet,and Id have to race home or have a friend vcr it 4 me if I couldnt catch TFF on tv..Those were the daaaayyyyyssss!!!!!
@natesot Ian Stanley left during the production of "The Seeds of Love" due to creative differences. Probably had something to do with Roland's changing visions for TFF.
It doesn't sound the same without Curt!
no no no no do not cut that is him that great hair
oohh i know, isn't he! *squeal*
I re-re-listened to this interview and I am curious what is missing where the woman says his next production is dedicated to Roland's Son, then a serious edit occurs? I'm curious about his son.
🌎🐛🦋🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🚴
⛄
Maybe is a mention about "Raoul and The Kings of Spain", realized in 1995.
If you listen to the interviews circa the year, you will know it
I know Ian Stanley left due to creative differences but does anyone know the reason why Manny Elias left? It would be cool if they got Ian and Manny back on board.
Maybe Ian & Manny were those"sweet boys" of the Badman's song?
Feel Embarrassed to be back?
@@gabiolga8740 los técnicos son los chicos de badman's Song
The hair
I don't really think about playing when I play the guitar. Interesting statement. Very very interesting. I feel so sorry for his son. What's coming for both of them is going to be horrific. But I'm sure Roland knows exactly what I'm talking about. Time's almost up right Roland?

@@prettyyoungthingpyt5015 He is, sadly, in the Illuminati:-)
when I saw TFF's video for sowing the seeds of love, I got a little suspicious because of the all seeing eye pyramid in the video.
@@walruswilson yes exactly.. and many other things too
I know. He looks like Lestate De Lioncourt here. LOL! :)
how the fuck do both their singing voices sound the same?!?!!?
I think it's like John Lennon and Paul McCartney. They sound different separately but blend well together. Roland and Curt do have distinctive voices separately. But, I think they match closer than John and Paul did.
So do I🌎🐛🦋🎶🎶🎶🚴
⛄(23°inWi)
something about this guy's music reminds me of noel gallagher. Nothing in the personality though. Strange.
Sorry. I love Roland... I mean I'm obsess with him. But all I could think watching this video was... cut your hair!
No no no no do not cut your hair!!
He's always kept his hair in this fashion since this album release. The latest TFF album has him with longer hair and gray/white all over. Sorry, never going to happen.
i'm bored watching this hahahaha jk
