I was nineteen years old when this song broke onto the radio. I had a delivery job, and I would drive all over the city, listening to the radio all the while, so every time this song came on, I heard it. Man, if only I could go back and spend a day in my old life.
It was the same situation for me but the car was mine !80’s was truly magical, unbelievable and unforgettable, music fashion and culture they was better than today! But sorry I haven’t a De Lorean car to come back in that decade!!😅😜👍🙏
as a person born in 2010 really darn wish i was born in the 80’s. there were no phones for people to be distracted with and the music was great!. i just wish i was there for that
It was a fantastic time to be alive. We witnessed first hand the digital revolution. Imagine walking up to a girl and asking her out and she'd say yes (hopefully!) and it was normal and you wouldn't be labeled a creep because there was no other way to ask LOL. We had better paying jobs in this country, we still had a level of respect and common courtesy that you don't see much anymore. Things moved slower but at the same time I don't think 1 out of 3 Americans was hooked on barbiturates, benzodiazepines or opioids like we have today.
I was 20 and stationed on Camp Geiger ,North Carolina, when this was released . Unforgettable times ,and memories. When we're living in that moment, no person could convince us that we would desperately long for those days back. The 80s were awesome, and I'm thankful for the experience.
True, but correction.. We're pulled back into reality. It doesn't matter the year it's from or the current year, or anything in between, this song transcends time itself. Also, remember that this song was written and recorded before they knocked down the Berlin wall..
this was th era of true music...the peak of the music, quality in every single aspect and then, after 90s was falling down into shape of these days, pure sink hole
I was a nipper back then, and watched Countdown every week - always hoping my favourite artists would come on (either "live" on stage or the video). TFF have always been my all time favourites! Apart from the nostalgic 80s stuff, music really was a big deal back then because you either heard it on radio or tv, or you had to go out and spend good money on records or tapes. These days it's just a commodity you can stream for free whenever you feel like it which makes it readily accessible (which is cool) but also a lot less special.
I was born in 1997, and I would give anything… ANYTHING AT ALL to live during that time period. No phones, normal society, and this band playing this song!
A fantastic piece of writing .. brilliantly sung and played These cool dudes still rock this classic piece in their 60’s It is a great combo of deep meaning and rhythmic nostalgia
La mejor banda de los 80s, sin discusión. Y tal vez la mejor canción que haya llegado a la radio en los 80. Cada disco traía dos o tres joyitas. Incluso los de los 90s, cuando Roland Orzabal quedó sólo llevando la banda.
How is this crowd not just losing their minds? One of the best songs of the century and they're (ostensibly) hearing it for the first time. If I could go back to the first time I heard this song just to feel that unadulterated awe....man. So cool to see this!
Great musical song writing...... amazing song .. this song got everyone in the mood before they was going out and when they was out on a saturday or friday night in the Uk , infact the whole world in the 80´s ......
Tears for Fears definitely one of the best bands and they are touring right now 2023. I hope they play in the Connecticut area because I will definitely go see them. Songs from the big chair is one of the best albums of all time..

kind of the same. I was in my sophomore year in high school, and I didn't realize that girls were easy
lol, this !
Freshman in high school.
I would give up the internet and my smartphone to go back and live in the 80s again!
Definitely!
Hablas wadas
fully agree

It doesn’t get any better than this. The best of the 80s.

I remember riding in my mother's car in March of 1985 and this song came on. Love it.

@@AngeloCapra Very cool!
One of the Top 10 best songs of the 80s that still sounds so good today.
Top 10? Lol
as a person born in 2010 really darn wish i was born in the 80’s. there were no phones for people to be distracted with and the music was great!. i just wish i was there for that
People like you give me hope for your generation.

HOOAH
80S WAS THE GREATEST
I wish we could go back!
TAL. CUAL. JUVENTUD. HERMOSO. TESORO😢❤
This band belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
It's a pop band from the 80's.
@@pelleohpop rock. Aslo, Tupac in the Rock and Roll hall of fame.
@pelleoh so is Duran Duran, Eurythmics, and Depeche Mode but they've all been inducted 🤷♀️
Their lyrics were ahead of the 80’s and very fitting for today!
Just wrote that.
I know. The lyrics for Mad World also are fitting for today.
What do the lyrics mean, anyone, please?
@@SphereOfTheEarth I think pretty self explanatory.
@@r4h4al Would you explain please?
One of the best "riffs" ever at a start of a song...you know right away what this song is as soon as it comes on...legendary group...
I always think this as well , the start of the song or riffs unreal takes me back an to that girlfriend I was with at that time 😊
Im Brazil this band left a mark in a entire generation. 80's forever .
E pra completar eu nasci nesse ano... 1985.. Marcou várias gerações mesmo...
I was born in 85, and I only have a few memories from the 80’s. But I can tell you, 1985 was a special year for music.
So was I. In 85 great things came out
This is the 80’s song that defines the 80’s! Best group EVER! ❤
honestly I think they are
Better then RUSH?
Lol..ugh no
There can never be music like this today
I was 24 years old, and working in the Pacific Amphitheater and likely they play there in the 85, was amazing!
Listening this masterpiece is a magical moment great 80s
I want my eighties back !
What stops you?
Me too
Eu também!!!😭😭😢😞
so many memories
👍👍👍👍
I love tears for fears and 80s. One of best song all time. I was born in 1980. Im italian
This is one of the most beautiful songs, definitely my all-time favorite! ❤❤❤
Masterpiece 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
This song is an absolute time machine, for those that lived it, you are just pulled right back into the 80s
True, but correction..
We're pulled back into reality. It doesn't matter the year it's from or the current year, or anything in between, this song transcends time itself.
Also, remember that this song was written and recorded before they knocked down the Berlin wall..
Yes you are
Roland is so gorgeous and handsome ❤❤❤❤
Classic 80s masterpiece !
GOOSEBUMPS! LONG LIVE THE 80S❤
80’s was the best music
this was th era of true music...the peak of the music, quality in every single aspect and then, after 90s was falling down into shape of these days, pure sink hole
Pure '80's!
This is one of my favourite 80's tracks, it always transports me into a nostalgic era. The oldies are most certainly goodies! ♥️
Esto llega al alma. Es el Paraíso. Gracias chicos
MASTER-PIECE!
So happy to be transported back to the 80's even if only for a little under 5 minutes.....
Lock at these People....omg i miss this wonderfull Time😢

Lo mejor de lo mejor gracias
One of my favorite albums of all time. This song immediately has me turn up the volume and brings me back to summer , driving a convertible ! Genius!
The 80s definitely had the best music groups!🎶 🎵 👌 🙌 😌

Un groupe incroyablement sous estimé des 80's.
Le son reste indémodable.
Back when you knew you were hearing something special. Every song was a masterpiece.
beautiful lyrics
Never knew countdown was a thing.
This is like watching MTV unplugged for the 80's music, shlt is dope af.

Always and forever my 80s jam!! Roland on that guitar is gold.
That was REMARKABLE 😱
Absolutely brilliant live performance back then! Thank you Countdown!
A fantastic piece of writing .. brilliantly sung and played
These cool dudes still rock this classic piece in their 60’s
It is a great combo of deep meaning and rhythmic nostalgia
One of the top songs of the 80's.
Hitazoooo! una canción icónica de los años 80´s seguirá sonando por generaciones.
“Welcome to your life, there’s no turning back”
This is the greatest song ever created. As relevant today as it ever was. As sublime to the ears as it is epic in existential scope. AMAZING
I can listen to this song over and over (and I have), Still sounds good. It is so upbeat and has lots of meaning
Golden Years 🎉

I agree, I would give up everything I have today just to go back to 1980, and have another go at it! Today sucks!
Why? You don't like technology? Or are you fearful of change?😮
Uma das mais lindas músicas já compostas
So classic!!! Weet nog deze aflevering op TV was 📺👑👑
80's forever. Grande hit do dueto Tears for Fears. ❤
How is this crowd not just losing their minds? One of the best songs of the century and they're (ostensibly) hearing it for the first time. If I could go back to the first time I heard this song just to feel that unadulterated awe....man. So cool to see this!
People had self-respect and didn’t jump around like banshees.
I love that song
Great musical song writing...... amazing song .. this song got everyone in the mood before they was going out and when they was out on a saturday or friday night in the Uk , infact the whole world in the 80´s ......
Im wasnt even born at that era but i do love this song.
Beautiful
Remember this song , when it came out !!!!
🖐️
Love this song every time I hear this song it’s puts me in a good mood
WHAT A GOOD CHANNEL, CONGRATULATIONS ON THE GREAT MUSICAL MEMORIES
Em uma palavra: sensacional.🇧🇷
Curt and Roland sure knew how to rock!

Count down must have loved these guys!
caraca...a voz dele qdo comeca a cantar parece seda..
Tears for Fears definitely one of the best bands and they are touring right now 2023. I hope they play in the Connecticut area because I will definitely go see them. Songs from the big chair is one of the best albums of all time..
The most iconic song in 85, in 80's
Lyrics
Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you
Acting on your best behaviour
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world
It's my own design
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world
Say that you'll never never never never need it
One headline why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world
All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts for ever
Everybody wants to rule the world
Thank you so much ❤
THE GREAT SONG FOREVER....
What a great song!
Obra-prima! 🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🎶🎶🎶
Beautiful vesion of this song
The singing in the 80's is fucking real, from the heart. Sincerely a millennial
Amoooo essa música e o TFF
Reminds me of the movie Real Genius!!! Watched it all the time in the 80’s!!👍🏼❤️
I want my 80s back!!!😩😮💨💆🏿♀️
Happy Birthday to Curt Smith 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎂🍰 🎈🎈🍾 6/24
En mi juventud no pescaba mucho esta cancion hoy con 60 años la encuentro HERMOSA

The musical personification of the 80s. I’m soooooooo jealous of anyone who was alive to experience the 80s. I was born in 1992.
It doesn't get any better than this The best of the 80's I would love to be back in the 80's miss the 80's I want my 80's back! 😘❤️❤️ The 80's were the best I love the 80's 🎶🎵🎸🎼🎤❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹💯💋💘😘🥰🤩🌹🦊🔥
Man i love the "du-dum-du-dum-du-dum" beat whatever it's called it's really rocks 💯💥💥
It does have an interesting rhythm. Sort of like a train going over the tracks.
Bass synth on sequencer.
