"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.
Yup I feel you on that one
That line and the earlier line 'Oh, I feeeeeeeeel so.'
I see that as a passionate expression of ANY deep feeling a person may have.
I totally get that. Tears had a way of doing that with alot of their songs
Curt had a HUGE role. That bass line is all him and brilliant.
My favorite part of the song:
"Oh, I feel so"
Gets me every time!😊🥰
"Change" and "Pale Shelter" are two very underrated songs that were quasi-club songs back in the day.
Pale Shelter 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This song is a gem. Often overlooked IMO by “…Rule The World” and “Shout” (which are also tremendous), this song is perfection.
Head over heels and Shout are really great. Everybody wants to rule the world always bored me, unfortunately.
@@Abbadonhades
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 ....
For me, of the 3 songs mentioned, while I like them all, Head over Heels is my favorite.
“Sowing the Seeds of Love” is a must react.
Beyond brilliant!
One of their worst songs imo
Complex and perhaps too much so for some fans (below) but I think their best perhaps!!!
Very much a Beatle vibe.
@@kramerbassplayer You're not ready yet
Sowing the seeds of love is another good song by them.
Brings back so many great childhood memories. Saturday morning. Dad making pancakes while blasting Tears for Fears ❤️ What a great way to wake up as a little kid ☺️
My favourite Tears for Fears tune. Speaking of Donnie Darko, what a great soundtrack. The Killing Moon - Echo & The Bunnymen is just perfect.
Another criminally underrated band, Echo.
Killing Moon would be a great choice to review, with the backstory and the DD connection.
Mine too. It’s so linked with Donnie Darko for me that it evokes all the feelings that Donnie Darko evokes in me. It’s probably my all time fav movie
Yes!
Yes! My mind always goes to Donnie Darko now when I hear either song. (Or “Love Will Tear Us Apart.”)
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..........
But Curt came in with one of the most beautiful bass lines ever written in music history! What a song! :)
This song really pulls at the heart strings of an 80’s teenager!!! My favorite Tears for Fears song by far.
Y’all should watch a live performance of this song. As soon as those opening chords hit, the crowd goes wild
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.❤
One of the best selling albums of 80s, every track is awesome and no fillers. So many great albums in this decade, what a time to be alive !
That "Yeah" in the middle is something I always wait for! ❤
Oh man.. this group.. what can I say, ANOTHER OUTSTANDING, TALENTED BAND FROM BRITAIN... Amazing vocals.. amazing melody, and very nice lyrics. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT.
When you've been married for over 30 years and you're still waiting for that cup of tea.
“Sowing the Seeds of Love” has to be the next one you hit from them, it’s their most dynamic, imo. And it’s one helluva driving tune!
I'm liking this comment bc its a great suggestion, but mostly because your @ says Texas Hook Em 🤘
world class production and grooves. their sound was miles ahead of the curve
My absolute favorite song of all time from them. It’s my song-every time I hear it I can’t help but sing along and dance. It’s so good.
The fantastic Head Over Heels montage in Donnie Darko is where I first heard TFF. I love this immensely talented band.
Did Frank send you here?
One of the best songs ever, in my twenties
Favorite TFF song period. I love Woman In Chains with Oleta Adams too!
Mad World!!!
Hey Nick, don't forget the other Tears For Fears connection to Donnie Darko, the closer at the end of the film, Mad World, a TFF original, covered nicely by Gary Jules.
Sowing the seeds of love is my favorite song of theirs. You will LOVE it. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Just one of the all-time great pop songs.
Sowing the seeds of live IS A MUST!!!!. LOL
Great song
One of their very best and my favorite by them!
Love you guys, and adore Tears for Fears
My favorite song of TFF. Also, the song and video went so well together. Such a joyful sound and feel to them both. That whole Tears for Fears sound is so unique and catchy. You gotta sing along. Love Roland's voice and underrated guitar work, and their harmonies too.
Donnie Darko Music industry connection:
In Donnie's class, there is a bully named Seth, played by Alex Greenwald. He is the lead vocalist of the California rock band, Phantom Planet.
The best of 80's over the top studio production.
Lexicon 480
I've only now realized I am ancient history seeing the card catalog system
I'm head over heels in love with your reactions! Keep them coming, you guys!
I was 24 when this song came out. I like it a lot more now than I did then. Funny how time flys.
Sowing the seeds of love it's a great song too 😊
Why is this so wholesome? Donnie Darko. I’m calling you out for your dedication to Sparkle Motion
the bass line in the end of the song is so good...
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.
The video was shot at Toronto’s Emmanuel College Library.
My favorite Tears song!! The actual song has an extended ending that is live. Just an awesome song and band!!
Very few 80s songs I really like,this is one of them.
- Pale shelter
- Mad world
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
Great reaction, great analysis. Thanks and thumb up.
I agree, "Donnie Darko" is brilliant! ;-]
I think it took awhile for Tears for Fears to go "mainstream." I definitely think of The Hurting as a college radio. It was this album that brought them out of the shadows.
Donnie Darko! The best 👏👏
I really like this song of tears for fears " head over heels"
80s are so the best
Your reactions are so much fun because each of you has a different perspective. I get to see the songs as new again . Fun stuff guys! Thank you!
I absolutely love this song. Great reaction guys ❤❤❤
My favorite Tears for Fears songs. Such a great tune.
Song is so soaring.
Roland absolutely crushed the vocals, my goodness. Such an 80's powerhouse track. The bass and the synth are exceptional. Songs From the Big Chair was their biggest album but I still think their debut album The Hurting was their best album. Pale Shelter is another TFF song you guys should react to.
One of Tears for Fears best, IMO. Sowing the Seeds of Love, Woman in Chains are their peak.
"Songs From the Big Chair" was an iconic album from the 80's. Tracks from it were omnipresent on FM radio.
Great song! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍
I forgot about this one! I love it. It's funky to me.
I suggest Woman in Chains for next reaction, it's a jaw dropper.
So they can once again say Curt doesn’t have much or any part at all? I’d say sowing the seeds of love would be a better next video for them.
Absolutely!
The live version with Oleta Adams would be the best one to check out.
Holy cow, Yes!! Oleta Adam’s voice with Roland’s is amazing and the layering and production is outstanding.
@cherylwoodward there are actually 2 live concert versions and one is better than the other I think for the wow factor
Jeez this is near 40 years old …WTF ? Still sounds great , this was around the time the song writer Roland Orzabal was becoming more confident as a lead singer rather than his colleague Kurt Smith , and boy could he sing ! Great track 👍🏴
As a former librarian i love this video. Oh btw the song is great too! And yes i did have guys come into the library and sing this.🎉
“Sowing In The Seeds” is a MUST! Talk about immaculate 😁❤️
Tears for Tears is one of my top favorite music groups and "Head over Heels" is a great song by them but they have so many great songs. Listen the longer version that connects with "Broken". Listen to "Sowing the Seeds of Love" and "Woman in Chains" next.
your next song from this album should be "the working hour". it wasn't a hit single but is most evocative and plaintive, just gorgeous. it and "everybody wants to rule the world" are the songs i never tire of hearing. as a bonus i think ryan will dig the sax in it 😏
Awesome song
The whole album is great.
I also vote for the Working hour.
Ryan would lose it with all the sax in it!
outstanding
Donnie Darko.
One of the most bizarre time travel movies
Supposedly, they are back together for a tour
Just for the video it's brill. A fabulous band still touring now in 2023
That’s is. TFF are both Curt & Rolland. Together.
Uh, when the beat drops and that effing sexy bass line comes in.... so good
E-town in the house.S`up neighbor 3 of L-villes finest❤.Ya'll going to the Derby?This song never gets old.
One of my favorite albums all time. They , U2, and Crowded House were in deep rotation in 85 on my tape and cd collection. Yes too when my girlfriend wasn't around... TFF and HOH were like our Marvin Gaye, lot's of good times listening on repeat...
So dude in the middle hit it on the head. I remember this song when it came out in the 80's and yeah... It was nice. 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.
the song is my favorite from them.
I always liked this song as well as the video. Some of the shots are in tribute to The Ghostbusters movie. The library, the lady with glasses that looks stern (secretary in the movie, not librarian), the library cards flying out of the drawer, floating up in the air.
If you guys don't do " The Working Hour", that is your loss. I guarantee that it will be your favorite Tears for Fears song. No question in my mind.
Sowing the seeds of love is my personal favorite sounding Tears for Fears song…sounds like a 80s
Version of a Beatles song.
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.
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.
Great song here love you guys
“Woman in Chains” would be a good next choice for you boys! ❤
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.
You’re doing all my favourites! Whooohoo!!! 🎉🎉🎉
This song always reminds me of Donnie Darko.
I was just recommended this. So here I am. I saw TFF in Boston with Hall and Oates! Amazing show and I’ve been to so many shows tbh
The whole album in great. I suggest The Working Hour, great intro! 👍👍👍
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.
The greatest Tears for Fear song imfo
Started with the Beatles.
A personal story that is universal.
Great song...great band!
WHAT ABOUT : - Sowing the seeds of love , Adwice for the young at heart , Womans in chaince , Break it down again , Bad man's song , Elemental , Secrets ?
Songs from the big chair is their best album by far
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.
You know this is about coming out.
