    in 1985 I left home at age 17 and this song played non stop on my 3000 mile drive to the west coast. 'Welcome to your life, there's no turning back' this song gives me the same feeling it did back then

    WTF!! I put headphones on and this sounded like it was the actual recording! Considering this is a '35+ yr. old' band....this was utterly amazing! Everyone nailed the authentic studio recorded soundtrack and that's not an easy feat. Recreating the guitar fills/parts alone is especially not easy. Look at some of the UA-cam attempts at this song and I rest my case. That last guitar lead at the end......what type of scale is that!?! Never heard anything like it. Difficult to replicate - but, it was on the recording. As a gigging musician I am totally impressed and blown-away by this surprising, out of the blue, performance!

      There is a *slight* difference in pitch on the original recording, which is pitched slightly sharp of concert pitch (presumably someone sped up the tape a bit), but apart from that, yes, it is indeed a very good rendition, and the fact that they haven’t had to down-tune after all these years like some bands have had to due to deepening singing voices makes this even more of a delight.

    1985, just graduated college, it was dark outside and it had snowed.

    Had this song playing on the Walkman. It was beautiful.

      Interesting. Is that a a 'shaker' that is creating the '3' against '4'? I will admit, that attempting to play what I call the 'shuffle' beat on the kick drum and then play '3' with that is something that I cannot do -- at least for the moment :)
      Even with the original recording, I thought a rather 'masterful' job was done with the hi-hat. Though, I did question just how much of this 'sound' and rhythm was one person
      I guess this is the 'independence' that many teachers talk about getting.
      I am not surprised that 'even' teachers play this differently among themselves. Just goes to show that we all bring something 'different' to this thing called rhythm.

    This is one of the most iconic songs from the 80s - a decade replete with iconic songs. Many songs from the 80s were memorable, not only because they had a great melody, excellent instrumental work, and demonstrated fabulous vocal power, but because they conveyed a substantive message about the world. Many mainstream songs from the 80s concentrated on societal ills. What happened to mainstream music today? It seems as if almost no mainstream artist gives voice to the various problems plaguing this world. If you want to hear music other than that which engages in self-absorption, sex, fame or romance - if you want to hear about things that matter far more, like poverty, corruption, war, and inequality - nowadays you have to search for obscure alternative music. I long for the days when artist like Sting, Phil Collins, Don Henley, Tears For Fears, etc had something to say.

    FACT: A new computer program recently showed both these guys are the number 1 singers in the world to sing at the same quality now as to their original recordings. The program overlays their current music over the original and comes out with a percentage of degrading, a bit like a vehicle dyno that measures the current power to that when was new. These guys dropped just 3% which was NEVER heard of (or 1% each 10 years) so... they re did the test and was correct. So good that as a comparison, the master copy ON tapes looses 2.7% every 10 years due to natural degradation!!
    Next closely followed by Def Leppard who was only 6.6% or 2.2 each 10 years...compared to Meatloaf that had lost 84% quality with 30 years...
    Well done guys...the quoting that you sound exactly AS GOOD now as ever before is a fact that cannot be disputed!

I married her a year later. And we're still together.

    These guys are legends!! when rock music was the mainstream in the '80s, The 'Tears For Fears' band was dominating the airwaves for decades, which is a remarkable testament to their unique craftsmanship, I feel 80's music is timeless!

    A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to go to Patagonia.
    .
    After three days of hiking and having the best time of my life, it had to end. I was sad it ended but happy to head back to California, got in my rental car, put my iPhone on shuffle, and this was the first song my phone played. Could not ask for a more perfect song.
