Tears For Fears in my opinion was the most brilliant songwriters, arrangers and producers of the 80s no doubt! Their songs are absolutely works of geniuses
The albums of the 80s are brilliant, but if you haven't heard the albums after that period , you owe it to yourself to give them a listen. Pure genius.
All class, and may I say a lesson to the younger generation. Learn your instrument well, and listen and write from experience ! These guys are the real deal !
Learn your instrument well, then get great session musicians in when your actually recording, my uncle played guitar for them and created the guitar break in Everybody want to rule the world.
@@hardlines2635 The session musician adds colour (I am a session musician) and scope to the recordings. This band proved that they are the real deal when they made the first album. All Curt, Roland, Manny and Ian......then broadened the pallet from then on.
Old friendships never die...... Quite possibly the greatest musical comeback ever as The Tipping Point really is top drawer & i honestly hope they record again soon.
A number 2 album in the UK, a number 8 album in the US, a top 10 album in most countries... This hunger for real music says a lot about the current state of the industry. Welcome back, the album's amazing !
My God I love this guys I love tears for fears and the tipping point it's probably one of my favorite albums in top 10 thank you Roland and curt you nailed it this album is masterpiece
Tears for Fears were one of the truly hugely influential bands of the 80's.... And still sound good today.... Both talented songwriters and musicians.....
Great to see them both still going so strong, I’m a teenager of the 80’s & still in love with the music of that era, my homeland Aussie bands & the great tunes out of the UK. The 80’s rocks on.
I'm a teenager from the eighties too! Tears for Fears was on the radio almost everyday and I would try to tape their songs on cassette...those memories are sweet!! Cheers from Australia ⭐
Bom dia. Eu tambem sou um adolescente dos anos 80, sou Brasileiro da cidade de Belo Horizonte. É incrivel que estão bem, fazendo músicas e transmitindo a mesma emoção de quando eu tinha 18 anos. Como é indescritível relembrar cada momento de minha adolecência.
My first CD purchase was Songs from the Big Chair. I was saving up to purchase my first CD player, but I actually purchased the CD even before I had a player to play it on.
Wow awesome story there Rob I graduated 85 wished After High School I wouldn't have seen them but never did it brings back so many memories for me from high school days the '80s was the best music hands down
I was so young when they were hitting their prime.....but in my teen years their music was so influential to me because the lyrics were REAL! I grew up with their music and now Im so glad theyve reunited and now a new album. I'm loving the My Demons its my favourite from the Tipping Point!!
I grew up listening to these guys since 1988 when I was 8 years old back in Mexico when I was pretty poor and spoke no english whatsoever Fast forward 35 years later and now I’m about to see them live for the first time in my life this coming August You cannot begin to imagine my excitement😳
So happy for you and all TFF fans!! I’ve seen them 3 times, they are wonderful in concert!! Hope you all enjoy every moment of those upcoming concerts!!
Ive been binge watching their music videos and re-discovering their music. I remember thinking at the end of watching the videos that these guys REALLY made great music. They had some really ear grabbing production and great harmony. I haven't seen these two since those music videos of the 80s and 90s. It really made me smile to see them here and to see them looking well.
Top of their game, Roland seems especially revitalized despite his personal difficulties in the last several years with his first wife. Great album, absolutely thrilled I'll be seeing these guys (for the first time!) in Chicago next week!!!!
I hope you had a good time. I saw them in Columbia, MD (06/19/22) and they sounded great. Songs from the Tipping Point sound great live and the classics sound great as well. The guy’s voices are in rare form and the band is tight as a drum. I had a ball and loved their set list. Woman in Chains, Badman’s Song, and of course, Shout which closed the show brought a lot of energy. As the guys stated in the BBC interview, the range in age was all over the place. Everyone, seemingly had a ball. It was like seeing old friends again. I was in the 10th grade when the Hurting was released, graduated from high school when SFTBC came out, and just about to graduate from college during release of the SOL album. Heck, I was just getting married when Elemental was released. Now, here I am middle aged and divorced when the Tipping Point is released. So, the fellas have been integral to my life in many phases.
Saw them on the first night of their Tipping Point tour in Cincinnati! It was awesome! So glad they made this new album. Their music stands the test of time. Love the older songs and the new 😊
I’m an enormous fan of these two remarkable artists. Their music during the MTV 80s made a huge impact on me. I’ve never heard anything like them. Incredibly unique sound. This interview was a real treat for those of us that grew up with their music. Blessings! 🙏🏾
One of the first proper conserts I went to as a teenager was the Songs from the Big Chair tour, in Oslo in oktober 1985. By that time I was already a huge fan, from The Hurting. They made some of the best pop songs of the 80's. Part of the soundtrack to my youth. Fantastic band.
soy de venezuela..... creci escuchando a esta banda ,, se me llenan los ojos de lagrimas al ver a este grupo aun activo,, se que a nadien le importa esta mierda , pero es para mi un placer dar esta declaracion ,, y a la ves aplaudir a estos caballeros , su musica me llena de energia, todos los dias ,, y les muestro a mis hijos esta musica , para que tambien sigan este legado ........ larga vida --- "Tears For Fears......
Born in the mid 90s. But my dad had these guys on record. Amazing band. And they seem very thoughtful and humble talking. Talking about learning to work with the new industry and taking a step away to focus on themselves and family for a w while but coming back. Great story of these guys
Correction: they were always on point with their hair styles. I loved Curt's mullet with braids, and Roland's curls. I wish journalists would ask better questions. Geesh! Curt must be tired of talking about the breakup.
Tbh they were overshadowed by other bands like Duran and aha a few good tunes in the 80s like the big one live aid but curt looks his age- not aged that well q skeletal
I love tears for fears.I was a 80s kid and loved them back then and always do play their music Especially everybody wants ro rule the world, shout and woman in chains..I would love to see them one day ❤
Their sophistication and sincerity always impressed me every bit as much as their talent. They’re one of my favorite bands. A desert island pick for sure.
I didnt realise that they had a bitter breakup until today. im glad that as friends they managed to sort it out and be friends again. and that is true friendship.
TFF has been my fave band since the 80's. They are amazing. I've been so lucky to see them twice in my life. Ny most recent time was 2022 in Charlotte. I hope i can see them again!!!
Tenho a mesma idade dos dois, nascemos no mesmo ano. Só fui ser fã nos anos 1980, e continuo até hoje, para mim, são dois excelentes músicos e compositores. Espero poder assistir um show deles aqui no Brasil! 💛💚🙋♀️
Their music became so much bigger than their indiv selves they had to rediscover themselves again... their music is genuinely from the soul... amazing growth in their writing and expressing with their music. I watched them live in Virginia Beach on 7/7/2023.... defies expectations.
Descobri vocês agora e me apaixonei. Não sou boa de ouvido, mas, o som de vocês é demais. Parabéns pela união, pela carreira e pelas músicas maravilhosas . Deixaram um legado lindo. Vocês são fantásticos. Bjo.
Huge fan here since the 80s👍Tears For Fears is my favorite band of all time 👍❤️❤️❤️ Roland Orzabal is simply great 👍👍👍 Curt Smith is simply amazing. Tears For Fears is simply immortal and forever 👍👍👍
😍😍😍 More handsome and charming than ever - absolutely beautiful ! I love these two sooo much 💖🌷💖🌷💖🌷💖🌷 The Tipping Point is the BEST thing that's come out in a long time. They stayed true to their style and who they are, all roots are there !! I love them so much 🧚💚🧚💚🧚💚🧚💚🧚💚
This guys. are. still alive and kicking amd and they are in good spirit and they are still more years to go in this entertaining industry God bless you guys
I am so excited to see them here in Los Angeles Saturday, June 4! Their Songs from the Big Chair album was my first record on vinyl (I still have) I got for my birthday in 8th grade.

ROLAND, You Look Like Robert Plant Now, So Cool And Natural, THANK YOU AND CURT AND BAND MEMBER"S FOR YOUR TIMELESS MUSIC, PLEASE PUT OUT A LIVE ALBUM AND CD FROM THIS WORLD TOUR, YOU ROCK!
The man is 60 yrs old and still has a smile that could make you weak
Me too if you're referring to Roland ❤
Tears For Fears in my opinion was the most brilliant songwriters, arrangers and producers of the 80s no doubt! Their songs are absolutely works of geniuses
The 80s trilogy from the hurting to seeds of love are masterpieces
The absolute best the absolute best band ever ❤. And Roland is so BEAUTIFUL
The albums of the 80s are brilliant, but if you haven't heard the albums after that period , you owe it to yourself to give them a listen. Pure genius.
Tem trabalhos significantes, audaciosos, e até denuncia. Tears for fears é um patrimônio histórico.
@@ria9874 e Você é linda e tem bom gosto.
Their songwriting, vocal-harmonies & production is incredible. Glad they are back-together and making Music again. These 2 are Magic-together.
Love guye great memories songs, child hood memories
They’re phenomenally talented. No one sounds like them.
With you bro/sis
That just dawned on me, you are right. No other band before and now sounds like Tears for Fears
All class, and may I say a lesson to the younger generation. Learn your instrument well, and listen and write from experience ! These guys are the real deal !
Well stated!
... and they sound gorgeous as ever on the new one! It is a lush production with atmosphere and taste.
Learn your instrument well, then get great session musicians in when your actually recording, my uncle played guitar for them and created the guitar break in Everybody want to rule the world.

I adore these two song writers. legends and so humble
Yes, they do seem humble and not vain
Roland's voice❤❤❤
I love it
The best album release of the year. What a masterpiece
Old friendships never die...... Quite possibly the greatest musical comeback ever as The Tipping Point really is top drawer & i honestly hope they record again soon.
Some old friendships do die, and sometimes for very good reasons. Glad they are still friends though.
So do I
Good to see them. They seem well-grounded and at peace. So refreshing.
A number 2 album in the UK, a number 8 album in the US, a top 10 album in most countries... This hunger for real music says a lot about the current state of the industry. Welcome back, the album's amazing !

Great to see Roland and Curt back together, writing great music again.
The Renaissance of a great band , and two genuine musicians and close friends.

I was born in 73 and grew up listening to these guys and to listen to them today is so relaxing. I miss the days of true musical talent of the 80s.
Same, same. Agree with you. Know your comment is older now but still....Cheers fellow Aussie 👍💗
Love their music. My first CD in '85 was Songs from the Big Chair. Bought a Philips CD player and could only afford one CD. Theirs is the one I chose.
Rob Cross. Great story. I also bought the songs from the big chair album and also the album the hurting before that.
Great Choice! Awesome Duo
My first CD purchase was Songs from the Big Chair. I was saving up to purchase my first CD player, but I actually purchased the CD even before I had a player to play it on.

Love you both Roland and Curt my idols from Tears for Fears love you both very much you are both amazing ❤
I only just found this; so GREAT to see Curt and Roland together again. Have been a fan since “The hurting”. They are just fantastic!
What great, memorable songs they did. They WERE the era.😊
Roland Orzabal just makes me happy, and I will forever be grateful for Tomcat's Screaming Outside !!!
Amo TomCat's também ... na verdade tenho dificuldade em escolher, depende da fase pessoal 🙂😉💚💛🇧🇷
TSO - Great album !
Fantastic Band, they made iconic songs in the 80s!!!
Such an amazing band. So great to see these guys back. Blows me away.

Tears for Fears Music just sounds so large and so full of emotion.
Sometimes I get the chills listening to it . . . .
you dudes did rule the world. glad you guys are back; looking forward to your new work
Best album by far in 10 years. Straight to my favourite albums ever. Music can't get any better than that...
The Hurting album is up there with Floyd etc,absolutely hauntingly beautiful

i was at that show in Tinley Park! It was a great great show! Love this band so much!!
I saw that show. Curt and Roland were amazing.
Saw them in late May in Phoenix, at an open air amphitheater. Amazing concert, they were outstanding.
My girlfriend and I saw them twice last week in West Palm Beach and Tampa, FL. They still hit.
The Best!
