Yeah. As a guy who considers himself a lifelong "rocker dude", there are a few bands that I always liked that my friends always gave me crap for. This is one of them. Duran Duran is another. George Michael is another. Screw them. I like what I like my dudes.
Music taste is subjective, which is why that it is important to remain true to yourself. How boring would it be if everyone liked the same music? You will find that a group of ‘friends’ who dislike particular singers/bands, because they think they will be ridiculed to admit their taste goes against the majority. There is only one person in charge of your music preferences - you! Be original and honest to yourself and others, don’t be a sheep, the three artists you refer too are three of my all time favourites. I have seen them all live, I have every record they have released on vinyl, cassette and cd. I have found negativity from some people at differing times but f*ck them, the hours and hours these artists have brought to my life the pleasure is immeasurable. 😊
Where can I listen to your songs? Please let me know. Oh, that's right you dont have any. And a hint, don't listen to music you don't like. A novel idea, right? 😂
In my oppinion their third album is one of the best pop-albums ever made. Almost every song in my opinion is good or great. And yes - "Woman in Chains" is an outstanding ballad.
I have always loved Tears for Fears since they released these songs. Mad World & Shout are a couple of my favorites. Head over Heels & Everybody wants to rule the world are awesome too.
I went to the same school as Curt Smith back in the day. He lived 6 doors up from me. I didn’t hang around with him as he was in the year above. When they formed a band called Graduate I used to go and see them perform in local churches and a place called the Pavilion in Bath, Somerset (our home time). Then one day they became Tears For Fears and the rest as they say is history. For me they were the sound of my youth and the 80s. Such great songs and great memories.
Noel Gallagher calls them the Beatles of the 80's. They were so ahead of their time. I'm 42 and grew up listening to all my dad's music and Tears For Fears just blew my mind. Absolute genius
Filmed at the library at University of Toronto - I accidentally walked onto the set and got yelled at lol. Great song, and terrific choice - got me grooving at my desk up here in Canada. Cheers!
I agree, they do have their own sound which is fantastic. Their songs still sound great today. And as others have said, Woman in Chains is a must listen.
SONGS FROM THE BIG CHAIR was a huge album for this band in the 80's with "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" being their big hit, but the entire album was incredible - "Shout", "Head Over Heels", "Mother's Talk" and the "Working Hour" are just incredible songs. Curt Smith (bass/lead singer) & Roland Orzabal (guitar/lead singer) are the two behind this band and wrote incredible songs. They internally imploded in the late 80's/early 90's and Curt left the band. Roland went on with the name of the band and wrote some incredible songs - "Elemental", "Raul & The Kings of Spain", "Break it Down Again". But Curt rejoined and all is right again.
This band is awesome. They have a great sound. I loved listening to them in the 80's and now! They were considered alternative rock, and I really loved that new sound.
Wow dude, core memory unlocked for me. I adored Tears for Fears in high school. Still do. Underrated as far as I'm concerned. I don't understand the haters. Roland Orzabal is a great vocalist.
I've always loved Tears for Fears, finally got to see them live at Blenheim Palace (Winston Churchill's gaff) in 2019 (from memory), they did all their classics. On the support list was White Lies, also brilliant. For me, the song to react to is Woman in Chains, but they're all bangers, so thanks for reacting to them again!
YES!!!! Bringing me back to my senior year of High School; I thank God all the time for letting me grow up when I did and where I did (Brooklyn); it was a fantastic time.
I can't picture or remember the 80's without Tears for Fears in it. Great music and good people too. If you like the layers, the complex sound [which it is, youre gonna love "sowing the Seeds" which they did a few years after this one. It's an open nod to the Beatles, but it's SO so good.
Whaaaaat WHAT!!!!! Certain songs, certain songs will take me right back to the particular time in life. This specific time was a very nostalgic period of my life. I had a major crush on this particular girl, and every single song from this period will remind me of her. You see, she was absolutely beautiful. This was elementary school and that 2-3 year period will forever cement her in my memory at that age, at that point in my life. I look back on those days with such happiness. The only thing is, this girl never knew, or never will know the crush I had on her. You see, I was way too shy to ever mention such things. She was gorgeous and popular. I was shy, but was more of a class clown. She knew me, we shared smiles, laughs at my jokes but she never knew. The crazy thing is how dear I hold her in my memory and how happy these songs make me feel as I’m instantly taken back to the easier times in life, but she will never know. To have such feelings of a person who never knew, will never know and will always make me feel at peace and 10-11 years old at the instant sound of a song. Maybe I was a crush like that for another person in my timeline, maybe not. And maybe that’s what makes the feeling so pure, so happy, so nostalgic.
Love this song! I was 15 when this was released. This song takes me back to more carefree times. Bonfires on the beach, hangin out with good friends while cranking tunes (cassette tapes) on a boom box. Good times 🎉❤🤘🏼
Just saying, this band has an excellent catalog of music. Highly, highly talented musicians. One of the biggest bands of the 80's. Lyrical content and social commentary. Great great band. Thank you so much for giving them voice again.
I LOVE this song❤! Tears for Fears are the best, how can anyone dislike them? Beyond me! I guess some people just have bad taste! The Hurting is my favorite album by them!❤Roland, Curt, Ian and Manny!!!!❤❤❤❤
Woman in chains is my favorite and so is sowing the seeds of love & The Working Hour. I just saw these guys again for the 2nd time in 2023 and they sounded just like they did in the 80’s. They have a new album that they put out in 22/23 called the Tipping Point and it is stellar. Love these guys
Don't listen to the haters! These guys were awesome! ❤ The first song I heard by them was Change. It is different from the rest yet still fits! Andrew and Curtis had their artistic disagreements and they separated. Andrew carried on but it was a great loss. They made a wonderful team.
I always liked this song the most out of all their songs. I noticed after the song ended, UA-cam served up Rick Beato's "what makes this song great EP-48" which is VERY interesting stuff. Breaking down the components of songs.
If you were a Donny Darko fan as a teen the lead song, Mad World, is a cover of a Tears for Fears song. Michael did an amazing version for the movie, but the original is so heartfelt.
Love the reaction! Huge TFF fan. Saw them live last year and they sounded so good. Still hitting those highs. As a budding musician raised in a corn field, their album 'Songs from the Big Chair' was so eye opening back in 1985. I suggest at least listen to the follow up track-'Mother's Talk'. *The album mix. Not the US mix* Blends real nice and it's a great jam. Keep up the great work!
Tears for Fears is great, always enjoy listening to them. For another great version of this song check out Andy Mckee covering this song. Or another of his "Drifting" is a great song as well.
C'mon,! You gotta add this song to your playlist! I'm not a big TFF fan, but I love all the radio hits, especially this one. I have to stop what I'm doing everytime it comes on, so I can just enjoy it.
I will add my list of songs to react to, most I should think have already been mentioned. The Working Hour, Memories Fade, Pale Shelter, Shout, Everybody Wants To Rule The World ( Urban Mix ), Sowing The Seeds Of Love, Woman In Chains, Famous Last Words, The Year Of The Knife, Badman’s Song, Raoul And The Kings Of Spain, Goodnight Song, Break It Down Again, Mothers Talk to name but a few. ❤😊❤
There’s a distinct difference between not having cases of autism and not diagnosing or reporting cases of autism. The Amish community tends to avoid medical and clinical testing, so it’s very difficult to gauge the actual number of cases of autism.
I agree with some other commenters here, that if you really want to hear a song with emotional lyrics or meaningful lyrics, please listen to their song Woman in Chains. It's beautiful.
As a mom with two sons on the autism spectrum I'm sitting here in tears after hearing you say the Amish don't have autism. Not because you're wrong you're 100% right but because I'm excited to hear this outside of my circles. When my oldest son was born in 1985 autism was one in 10,000. When my second son on the spectrum was born in 2004 it was 1 in 54 or something around there. Now it is 1 in 23 they only start counting when the kids are 8 years old so the numbers a lot higher
Yeah. As a guy who considers himself a lifelong "rocker dude", there are a few bands that I always liked that my friends always gave me crap for. This is one of them. Duran Duran is another. George Michael is another. Screw them. I like what I like my dudes.
I like alot of different music. I even listen to classical sometimes. I do me.😂😂✌️🌻🌻

So happy ur checking our more! Please do Sowing the seeds of love next!!
or "Mad world"... or ... "Woman in Chains" ... or ... or "Mother's Talk" ... or "Pale Shelters" or ...
Yes it has a certain Beatle-esque feel to it
Yup. This. Or Mad World... they have some great songs.
'Woman in Chains' is an absolute banger from them
Think he already did it
This is one of their best songs I think.
@@michaelasay8587 It isn't showing up when searching videos on the channel. Did it get blocked maybe? Tears for Fears usually doesn't block stuff.
Don't think he has x

Head over heels

Tears For Fears is very underrated for that era. They’re right up there in probably the top 3 bands of that time.
Yep.🙂👍
This band is legend and they should be put in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.
Filmed at the library at University of Toronto - I accidentally walked onto the set and got yelled at lol. Great song, and terrific choice - got me grooving at my desk up here in Canada. Cheers!
Did they bring you to book?
This band is AWESOME. One of the biggest hits of the 80's. And you are right, their sound is unique.
I agree, they do have their own sound which is fantastic. Their songs still sound great today. And as others have said, Woman in Chains is a must listen.
You can’t ignore how catchy that last part is. Once you’ve listened to this song a few times it will always be in your head.
Sowing the Seeds of Love and Break It Down Again are two of my favourites from TfF.
If Tears for Fears is not on your 80's playlist, then it's not complete until it is.
Mad World is great and the cover of it by Gary Jules is haunting.
So is Adam Lambert's cover when he was on Idol.
'My Ding A Ling' Sing Along (with intro) - Chuck Berry, with Rocking Horse, London 1972 This one is amazing!!

Love Tears For Fears. And Roland Orzabal has one of my favorite voices in pop/rock.
They are definitely talented. I love their 80's sound
Wow dude, core memory unlocked for me. I adored Tears for Fears in high school. Still do. Underrated as far as I'm concerned. I don't understand the haters. Roland Orzabal is a great vocalist.
One of my personal favorites by them is, "Memories Fade" the live 1985 version is the best.
I have always enjoyed their harmonies, instrumental and vocals
Yes their sound is so clean and really good to listen to, them and Inxs, really produced well
I saw them in concert in the mid 80s in Houston, Texas. One of the best shows I ever saw.
“Women in chains “is fantastic , also “break it down “is very good !
I've always loved Tears for Fears, finally got to see them live at Blenheim Palace (Winston Churchill's gaff) in 2019 (from memory), they did all their classics.

Now in this terrible world…who ya voting for? Will make all the diff…because the current is a disaster😢
@@michaelasay8587 Trump Train All The Way
@@jacqueline4514oh good! It's scary huh??😢😢😢😮😮😮
@@michaelasay8587 Too scary. And infuriating.
80s were the best.
Early TFF try Pale Shelter, Change, Mad World
Also Woman in Chains, Break it Down Again, Sowing the Seeds of Love, Advice for the Young at heart ❤
Hey Pegasus, another song by this group you should check out is "Sowing The Seeds Of Love"
Sowing the Seeds of Love is probably their grooviest song imo with tons of layers he would enjoy. He would really dig that one.
All the 80's tunes are great to react to.. I was in high school when this came out. Brings back some great memories...
"Sowing the seeds of Love" is another really good one
hey BP, please react to Woman in Chains...brilliant musicianship, tremendous and poignant lyrics, well constructed..absolute classic
Tears for Fears are local to me from Bath, England.
Absolutely loved them when I was growing up (not that I don’t like them now).
Some great songs.
Woman in Chains!!! With Oleta Adams…. Absolutely beautiful song, you will enjoy it.
I love Tears for Fears and this is my favorite song of theirs. ❤
I have loved their music from the beginning. They do have a distinct sound.
I can't picture or remember the 80's without Tears for Fears in it. Great music and good people too. If you like the layers, the complex sound [which it is, youre gonna love "sowing the Seeds" which they did a few years after this one. It's an open nod to the Beatles, but it's SO so good.

Totally, my granddad said he's got memo's from the 80's...
His voice is very unique and I love it! Great reaction! i think they are fantastic and have enjoyed then from the first song.
Just saying, this band has an excellent catalog of music. Highly, highly talented musicians. One of the biggest bands of the 80's. Lyrical content and social commentary. Great great band. Thank you so much for giving them voice again.

Lived in the Big D when they arrived on scene in the States…Saw them at Red Rocks a few years ago, they were fabulous!
Woman in chains is my favorite and so is sowing the seeds of love & The Working Hour. I just saw these guys again for the 2nd time in 2023 and they sounded just like they did in the 80’s. They have a new album that they put out in 22/23 called the Tipping Point and it is stellar. Love these guys
Love this band. One of the best bands of the 80s. Still sound great. ❤
This entire album really flows well together when you listen to it in one sitting.
This is an excellent song. A stand out from the 80s. 👌🏽
My two favorite bands of that era is these guys and Depeche Mode. High school in CA. Songs from the Big Chair one of the best albums of all time.
The album this song is on, Songs From the Big Chair, is available on blu-ray music discs. It has a full surround effect. This album is a classic.
They came out when I was in college...love them.
One of my favorite artists.
Flashback to my teen years. Love the 80's!!
Absolutely love Tears For Fears
Love their song mother's talk. That's what you should listen to too really hear the vocals and lyrics.
Ignore the haters - they don't understand music
Love this song. Love to see your react to more of their songs.
Tears for Fears Great band from the 80's!
One of our top bands ever over in lil ole England
Tears for Fears is one of my favorite 80s groups. They were out there doing their thing. I love their songs.🔥
I love Tears for Fears ❤ This reminds me of my youth. I’m so lucky to have lived through the 70’s, 80’s & 90’s.
Love these guys. I honestly think Mad World by them will REALLY move you. The lyrics may even move you to shed a tear. Incredible song.
Don't listen to the haters! These guys were awesome! ❤ The first song I heard by them was Change. It is different from the rest yet still fits! Andrew and Curtis had their artistic disagreements and they separated. Andrew carried on but it was a great loss. They made a wonderful team.

I always loved their stuff. Love those Mercury wings on your hat.
If you were a Donny Darko fan as a teen the lead song, Mad World, is a cover of a Tears for Fears song. Michael did an amazing version for the movie, but the original is so heartfelt.
They are still very active and producing great music.
What, this song is banging. Lovely sound. And paired perfectly in Donnie Darko!!
Woman in chains and sowing the seeds of love are a must
I recommend listening to their song Elemental. Definitely a stand out song, in my opinion. Love Tears for Fears. Enjoyed your reaction. :)
Love the reaction! Huge TFF fan. Saw them live last year and they sounded so good. Still hitting those highs. As a budding musician raised in a corn field, their album 'Songs from the Big Chair' was so eye opening back in 1985. I suggest at least listen to the follow up track-'Mother's Talk'. *The album mix.

The University Toronto Library was filmed for Head over Heels! Great song!
Who ever said they were rubbish is rubbish. this band is so unique, brilliant music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There’s a distinct difference between not having cases of autism and not diagnosing or reporting cases of autism. The Amish community tends to avoid medical and clinical testing, so it’s very difficult to gauge the actual number of cases of autism.
The main lead is named Roland Orzibal. He is absolutely underrated as a guitarist.
Innocent days before true adulthood, 🔥❤️🔥 music! 🤍🪽💃
One of the classic hits bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of my favorite songs....
This is my favorite song by the them.
Tears for Fears released a song recently called End of night, which is really good!
There is another version of this song that rocks out at the end. It is awesome!!!
Distinct and unique... you got that right!
❤ Tears for Fears.
Tears For Fears is perfect pop music. Glad this was my first concert. 1989.
I agree with some other commenters here, that if you really want to hear a song with emotional lyrics or meaningful lyrics, please listen to their song Woman in Chains. It's beautiful.

Woman in Chains 🤌. Songs From The Big Chair my favourite album of this Band 🎵🎶🔥🙏💪🐝🍀🇬🇧
This song made me an instant fan.
"Mothers Talk" and "Working Hours" are great underrated tracks. Mothers is a banger; Working is gorgeous downtempo.
This is the song that made me a fan.😸
Love this band!
Mad World later covered by Gary Jules. Pale Shelter. Sowing the seeds of love all bangers
80's great era of music, my granddad said!
😂 ooh love this banda soooou amazing ❤
