The emotions I feel when listening to this song give me chills. I never want the song to be over. There are no words to express how thrilling their music is.
@@mikelo303 Yeah, when the rhythm is different, it's tricky to sing and play different things. It's a matter of practice though, like the patting your head/rubbing your stomach thing.
They sound FANTASTIC!! Love Tears for Fears, have passed it on to my girls!! Now, this is real music!! Thanks Roland and Curt, you guys still have it!!!!!
Right On Julie! My girls were raised on this music because of me listening to it and dancing. They learned how to dance from their momma! hahahaha! And honey, we can dance! I grew up during the "Saturday Night Fever" era with the BeeGees and disco. I used to go to all the jr. high and high school dances all the time! My girls know how to do the "Hustle!" YaY!
These songs came out when I was in college in the early 1980s. Every time I hear their music I'm transported back to those days. I see where I was and who I was with like it was yesterday, in my mind's eye. Thanks, Roland and Curt, for the indelible memories.
@@gpdude22 Do you see a keyboard player anywhere? 'Cause I don't. To me it sounds like the keys come from the original recording, but the rest is live.
@@progmeup yeah he’s in the back left corner. If you spent more time looking at the video instead of running your mouth about something you don’t know anything about it would really help you out.
God knows how this song takes me back to being 19 again and being in love for the first time. Just magical to know that the 1980's were the best for music. Love UK bands.
Watching this during lockdown and so lifted by it. What an incredible and faithful performance of a fantastic song. ‘Classic’ is a word bandied around a lot - but this earns it, right? What a job that drummer does - just nails the original part without adding anything flashier, because that’s all it needs. Same wondrous and minimal fills, just everything good. The whole thing is an absolute masterclass. :)
I have to say, I used to hate this band, I was a metal head in the 80s but now I'm almost 50 and I have picked up a guitar and am a music hobbyist and a have a totally different understanding now ... just thought I should put that out there.
I Loved these guys in the eighties for sure , still do. My mom loved them also. We connected and watch these videos together over and over MTV was on at my house all the time. She's gone now almost two years. Every time I hear these guys I think of her and myself watching Tears for Fears videos
I wanted to be with you alone And talk about the weather But traditions I can trace against the child in your face Won't escape my attention You keep your distance with a system of touch And gentle persuasion I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much? Oh, you're wasting my time You're just, just, just wasting time Something happens and I'm head over heels I never find out till I'm head over heels Something happens and I'm head over heels Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart Don't, don't, don't throw it away Throw it away Throw it away I made a fire and watching it burn Thought of your future With one foot in the past, now, just how long will it last? No, no, no, have you no ambition? My mother and my brothers used to breathe in clean in air And dreaming I'm a doctor It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand Oh, I feel so Something happens and I'm head over heels I never find out till I'm head over heels Something happens and I'm head over heels Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart Don't, don't, don't throw it away And this my four-leaf clover I'm on the line, one open mind This is my four-leaf clover in my head, my mind's eye (La, la, la, la, la) one little boy, wandering by (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la) funny how Time flies
I always come back to this song and in particular, this performance. It is a good example of how a well orchestrated song comes together into a groove.
So crazy how good they sound, I honestly wish people my age would listen to this music instead of the basic commercialized sounds of celebrities that gain their fame through twitter and rivalry.
Agree 100%. I remember sitting back listening to songs made 25 years before when I was 15 and just appreciating some of the uniqueness and brilliance. Rarely do I hear modern songs show this which sucks, but I believe once we get out of this zeitgeist where mixing boards and auto-tuned voices ruin true creativity, music will shine again. Hoping it comes soon though!
You can truly understands why he doesnt say it, because, for good or for bad, time really flies and now he's older than at the end of the official video.
Wow, the depth of this..percussion is INSANE. I always knew this music but wasn't familiar with the band: this is the magic of UA-cam..I watched the one guy play/sing with his lovely young daughter (who was also playing guitar)...and then the other guy is singing lead on this song.. and he's backing him up..I love when several people can sing lead in a band...this was super good. The way this is presented..I felt like I knew the band..twas FAMILY...that's magical.
A wonderful tribute to the love affair of my life. That feeling of new love, that feeling of unrequited love, that questioning feeling, that ponderous feeling and overall acceptance of one's status quo. Love the song.
What an amazing live performance!!! I am blown away by how good these guys keep sounding after all these years! Feel so lucky to have grown during the 80's listening to these jewels! Greetings from Costa Rica!
Good music when alone or with a group, so lucky we've grown up listening with their music... These songs spoke the language of our souls and our generation.👍🇵🇭✌️
I am sooo jealous of those 50 lucky fans who got to see this! Missed TFF in their heyday but have seen them 3 times in recent years. They are still amazing!!!!
Even though this song was not the biggest or best known song off the album, this is my favorite song from this album and I will play it on repeat even to this day. Thank you.
THIS IS CLASSIC !!!! IT brought tears to our eyes listening to them.......... They dont make songs like these anymore. WE LOVE YOU WE WILL KEEP WATCHING YOUR CONCERTS FOREVER !
Their quality and skill is the product of fifty years of hard work and it shows in their performances and quality. It shows the path forward is hard work and toil. Sing, play write, form clay, sew artistry and skill only comes from hard work.
They sound amazing! Songs from The Big Chair is a huge chunk of my youth. I wore that cassette out - kept me company to and from school on my long commute, listened to it at home, would fall asleep to it, too and so many years later, any song I hear from that album instantly transports me to that time in my life. 💕
I hope the guys in the band are able to see this comment.... Don't ever stop creating music.... Almost 40 years of just incredible music and you guys still sound just like the 80s.... This is a trip through time.
Always loved Tears For Fears. Rolands voice is perfect for what they do. I saw him and Kurt back in 79 when they were in a Ska band called 'Graduate' They were great even then!
Brings me back to the 80s and these guys still have itI was into different music then I have huge respect for these guys now keep it up you sound great
Love these guys ❤ Saw them in concert last year (2022) on their Tipping Point tour. Just got tickets to see them again in June 2023. So happy they’re touring and writing new music.
I have mixed feelings while I am watching this. On the one hand the music is so amazing, on the other hand, to think what music our children hear today just breaks me down.
Absolutely stellar performance. As the years have gone by, I’ve become a huge Tears For Fears fan and this recording was truly amazing. Thanks so much for that.
Why this is not yet viewed by the millions is saddening. So glad i grew up in 70s, 80s, 90s music. This is pure nostalgia. Meanwhile, music nowadays with swearing and women twerking are viewed in the millions, wtf 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ Society's on a downhill.
It's always a treat listening to one of my fave tracks from the album Songs From The Big Chair... but seeing Curt singing back vocals while doing those crazy walking bass lines? It's absolutely amazing. :)
audio engineer deserves an award
Yeah..no douth about it...its perfect
100% … this whole set sounds incredible.
Sounds a 10 to me.
💯
The sound engineering is incredible. I know they sound great but wow SO clean.
I thought exactly the same. So many live recordings are ruined because the audio is dirty.
dude i know! as a tech i feel major respect for this team. and this is like 8yo lol. at exactly 2.58 you can see a bit of the FOH
True
Tears for Fears made the 80's one of the best eras of music.
They are SO underrated. They sound amazing and this song gives me major feels.
The emotions I feel when listening to this song give me chills. I never want the song to be over. There are no words to express how thrilling their music is.
“ you could hear a pin drop!”
Singing and playing that bassline at the same time is no small feat.
Jed Smith absolutely correct
because melodies/rhythms does not correspond? Just asking. My guess.
@@mikelo303 Yeah, when the rhythm is different, it's tricky to sing and play different things. It's a matter of practice though, like the patting your head/rubbing your stomach thing.
@@alexperaza9475 What about playing the piano. Often pianists play 2 different compositions simultaniously.
McCartney style
That mic sound quality. It feels like 80's. So awesome
One of the definitive band of the 80s. Still one of the best. This song is a staple on my playlist over the years.
When a band plays live and it sounds damn near like the studio version. 🔥👌🏼
They sound FANTASTIC!! Love Tears for Fears, have passed it on to my girls!! Now, this is real music!! Thanks Roland and Curt, you guys still have it!!!!!

This is almost instep with the original version!
They knocked it right out of the park!
they use the original track "behind" the live performance, which is why it sounds so in synch

Tears For Fears are one of my all-time favorite bands. Saw them live in 1990 and it was the best concert I've ever been to.
God knows how this song takes me back to being 19 again and being in love for the first time. Just magical to know that the 1980's were the best for music. Love UK bands.
Soo much talent even after all these years....
And such a timeless song...
How do they hit those notes at their age? Impressive!
Ar Con They were only 53 in 2014, it's still possible
Auto tune, you can hear it.
This is live! No auto tune!
Ar Con so old age makes you forget their own songs?
@@Armz316 there is a little autotune on this IMO - just because it was recorded live doesn't mean it isn't heavily polished

Nearly 40 years since this great song, and one of the best 80s albums came out. Amazing performance here. Miss the 80s so much..

Best of luck to you
@Edgardus what?
@Edgardus 51 is gen x. You must be a farkin millennial haha. Or gen Z
Good for you...better late than never👍 Welcome to the club.
I don't play but I'm also a early 90s metal head and just recently realized the how much I didn't appreciate these guys as a kid but now I'm obsessed
Sounds great live over 30 years on. Maintaining the integrity of their vocal ability these years later is pretty impressive.
Have been a fan of this song for 30+ years. Amazing live performance, I never fully appreciated how talented these guys are.
I Loved these guys in the eighties for sure , still do. My mom loved them also. We connected and watch these videos together over and over MTV was on at my house all the time. She's gone now almost two years. Every time I hear these guys I think of her and myself watching Tears for Fears videos
martybgood martybgood What great memories to have.
Almost like listening to CD...what an amazing performance !
+jahwangful I'm just shocked at how good this is.
It’s hard to overstate how great this performance is.
Roland!!! You age like fine wine! Still the most handsome man I’ll ever lay my eyes on. Damn 😍😍😍😍😍
killer bassline
I love this band so much... totally some of the best music ever written and performed...
I wanted to be with you alone
And talk about the weather
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
Won't escape my attention
You keep your distance with a system of touch
And gentle persuasion
I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much?
Oh, you're wasting my time
You're just, just, just wasting time
Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out till I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
Don't, don't, don't throw it away
Throw it away
Throw it away
I made a fire and watching it burn
Thought of your future
With one foot in the past, now, just how long will it last?
No, no, no, have you no ambition?
My mother and my brothers used to breathe in clean in air
And dreaming I'm a doctor
It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand
Oh, I feel so
Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out till I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
Don't, don't, don't throw it away
And this my four-leaf clover
I'm on the line, one open mind
This is my four-leaf clover
in my head, my mind's eye
(La, la, la, la, la) one little boy, wandering by
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la) funny how
Time flies
Thank you Ricardo!
🙏🏼
One little boy, one little man
@@stephenpemberton9943 I've always wondered about that line. i hope the song isn't about what I think it is.
Merci à vous pour les paroles. Thanks you very much.
i'm still waiting for the "time flies"

And the instrumental bit. Why wasn't it done at the ending? It always feels that something missing.
Lol
legend says he's still waiting
🤣he,s waiting for 40th anniversary to finish
Amazing. It’s like being in the studio for a rehearsal. They sing in person, just as the original cut.
Its stunning that they can reproduce this sound so many years later. Brilliant.
I always come back to this song and in particular, this performance. It is a good example of how a well orchestrated song comes together into a groove.

The sad part is that in the 80's they were not really give their due respect as artists.
Well said Emily, its a song with a special magic regardless of era
So much said in 5 lines! Exactly how I feel
They do sound great!
2018 and I'm still waiting for Roland to sing "time flies" at the end
2019 and still waiting
2020... still waiting
You can truly understands why he doesnt say it, because, for good or for bad, time really flies and now he's older than at the end of the official video.
@@UsedFender lol thats funny
2020 and i'm still waiting too. Oh! and the Broken reprise!
Roland's voice still strong as ever!
This song brings back a vivid memory of one particular night in my life that was a changing point. These boys still have it after many years
the musicianship in this composition (and performance) is astounding. every instrument including the vocals has the spotlight.
So Great...I Was 15 Years Old When This Song Was On Top, and I´m Still Listening!!!!!

Still sounds amazing! Over 30 years later
Awesome sound quality!

BurningChipotleCornhole same
I just randomly stumbled on this song while scrolling on UA-cam
Me too about 10 years ago, now Tears for Fears are one of my favourite bands and I've seen them live.
Hahahaha same

Time Flies as the Universe expands, fabulous music for all time.
Amazing loved them 30 years ago and still love them!

I never appreciated this song or this band when I was a teen in the 80's. LOVE hearing it now. Well done.
Absolutely stellar performance. As the years have gone by, I’ve become a huge Tears For Fears fan and this recording was truly amazing. Thanks so much for that.
Seen these guys live twice, absolute class. If you get the chance to do the same, don't miss out.

Thank you so much for going back to the bass at 2:59. it was needed and you did it. i am a complete man now.
Amazing! Such chemistry after all these years. One of my favorite songs and I’m glad Roland hit the “yeah” after that first keyboard riff👍🏼
A voz do Roland é linda e Curt com seu baixo dá um show!!!! Amoooo.TFF pra sempre 💚💚💚
I think this is quite a time huh?
Like it feels surreal, it's like when he going to say "Time Flies" but... Time had already fled... Just wow
they sound soooooo good
one of the best band, one of the best song and one of the absolutely best performance and live recording ever. thank you.
I'm just impressed cause I'm so young and people of my age does not know Tears for Fears, that's kinda sad
Tears for Fears will be one of my influence if I will start a band someday
So tight musically, truly great band. Love those songs
AWESOME!! Always loved your Sound!! Killer looking Drum kit!!
I appreciate the fidelity to the originals. Seriously. I fucking appreciate the hell out of that. Thanks, guys.
TFF's songs age like a fine wine. This one being one of my all time favs.
Superb👏👏👏👏i feel I am back to my young age! This sing still good to hear now 2022! My favorite band till now! It doesn’t age!
MY FAVORITE TUNE FROM THEM, GREATEST MEMORIES !!!!
Simple y sencillamente magistral! Como hoy día hay gente que se dicen músicos o intérpretes, que vean este video y aprendan lo que es el talento
Simply amazing! One of my favorite 80's songs and done so beautifully! I'm stunned
Best version of this impeccably written song that Ive ever heard.
Walang kupas grabe parehas pa din ang tunog
It's always a treat listening to one of my fave tracks from the album Songs From The Big Chair... but seeing Curt singing back vocals while doing those crazy walking bass lines? It's absolutely amazing. :)
Then and now. They are just amazing. My all time favorite duo :)
My favorite Tears for Fears song!😊
Caramba, não me canso de ouvir esta música, Still w me more than 20 years!
I was waiting for the 'time flies". The whole audience was.
I was, too.
Me too!
