    "Funny how...tiiime fliiieeessssss." As a teenager in high school when this song came out, hearing that ending pulls at my heart in a way I can't explain. Great reaction.

      Time flies and its hard to fully understand each era unless you were there or at least had a basic idea of the culture and tech available at the time. During the 80's most people had cable TV by then and we had maybe 15 channels (MTV was new and music videos became the source and vehicle used by the groups)...(60s and 70s TV reception was via antenna, and only 2 or 3 channels, videos were rarely done.. radio was the mode we heard the music hits from). Today, you have internet and can watch and listen but very little in the way of good music being originally produced.

      I used to think that Evreybody Wants to Rule The World bore me too .... but I realise I was not listening to the second half of the song closely enough thinking its just repetitions ... but its not, the second half of the song is actually the better half of the song where they turn it up a couple of notch ....its epic how they change it up .... appreciating the second half of the song is really the thing that takes the song to another level ....

    TFF is an amazing group. This song, specifically, was written by Roland Orzabal to woo his soon-to-be wife, Carolyn, who passed away a few years ago. She can be seen in the video and was the love of his life and his heart broke when she passed - it was uncertain if he would perform again, after that. He did, and he's back with Curt. I LOVE, love, love this song..........

    These guys are so great Tears For Fears. I remember when their first song played on the radio "Shout". They took off and quickly became very popular in mainstream Pop Rock. I myself consider it to be between Modern and New Wave it is very radio worthy. They climbed up the chart quickly with "Shout" and they never looked back here came the money. My favorite track from them was "Head Over Heels". These guys are so talented they made some great songs while fans were making memories to their beautiful music. Also "Sowing The Seeds Of Love" was a thought provoking great sounding song.❤

    I sent to the same school as Curt. They started as a band called “The Graduate” back in the day. Used to follow them at local gigs before they then changed to TFF. Bathin Somerset at the time was huge for music artist either creating or recording music. The 80s were in my opinion the best decade of music ever.

    Lyrics:
    Verse 1: Roland Orzabal]
    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
    [Chorus: Roland Orzabal]
    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
    [Post-Chorus: Roland Orzabal]
    Throw it away
    Throw it away
    [Verse 2: Roland Orzabal, Curt Smith]
    I made a fire, I’m watching it burn (yeah)
    I thought of your future
    With one foot in the past now just how long will it last?
    No, no, no, have you no ambition?
    (Mm, what's the matter with my...)
    My mother and my brother’s used to breathing clean air
    (Nothing ever changes when you’re acting your age)
    And dreaming I’m a doctor
    (Nothing gets done when you feel like a baby)
    It’s hard to be a man when there’s a gun in your hand
    (Nothing ever changes when you’re acting your age)
    Oh, I feel so
    [Chorus: Roland Orzabal]
    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
    [Bridge: Roland Orzabal]
    And this is my four leaf clover
    I’m on the line, one open mind
    This is my four leaf clover
    [Outro: Roland Orzabal]
    La la-la la la, la la-la la la
    La la la-la la-la
    La la-la la la, la la-la la la
    La la la-la la-la
    La la-la la la, la la-la la la
    La la la-la la-la
    La la-la la la, la la-la la la
    La la la-la la-la
    La la-la la la, la la-la la la
    In my mind’s eye
    La la la-la la-la
    One little boy, one little man
    La la-la la la, la la-la la la
    Funny how time flies

But when I saw how they used the track for that scene in Donnie Darko my appreciation for the tune shot up like Mentos in Coke. It's seriously one of the best crafted pop songs of all time and deserves a trophy. Along with Everybody Wants to Rule The World, Tears for Fears can claim at least two of those.

    Such a great song from such a great group. They had some reunion gigs last year that were awesome and they sound just as good today as they did back in the 80's. In 50 years there will be a reactor on the future's version of UA-cam (hopefully it's no longer Big brother, but I won't hold my breath) who discovers this group and their songs and they will be as popular as they are now and were 40 odd years ago. It is a classic sound that will never go out of style.

  • @L1623VP
    @L1623VP Рік тому +2

    One of the things I appreciate about this reaction channel is that the guys DON'T watch videos like some other channels. I think videos can be distracting, and watching the video can mean the reactors aren't fully "in the music". I prefer it when reactors listen to just the music, the studio cuts, just as most of us were first exposed to those songs when they were released on the radio. I think listening to just the music provides a more pure, visceral, and honest reaction.

    I just discovered your channel and could not find your reaction to Tears for Fears 'Woman in Chains' One of their most melodic songs! The vocals are awesome. Can't wait to hear what your comments.

    Once you hear the complete sequence, "Broken/Head Over Heels/Broken (reprise)", you won't want to hear it any other way!

    Love Tears For Fears and this was my favorite, then Everybody Wants to Rule the World was also great. But they were just so good.

    Donnie Darko is my favourite movie. The Director's Cut version is even more of a Mind F than the theatrical release. Apparently the director literally made up the story as he filmed as it just felt right.
