Probably the first song I learned to sing and play on bass. Not too hard not too easy, especially if you try and sing everything.

[@sojourner1511]

Thanks for the tip.👍

[@TheSteelDialga]

You're right! I've been obsessed with singing this song lately, so I figured I should learn the bass line too. After sight reading the tab, I tried singing and playing it, and yeah, it feels very natural. Very repetitive bass lines, but very rhythmic with great note choices. Love playing it with the vocal melody.

[@greggers5988]

such a good challenge and so fun!!

[@Vortigan07]

I take my hat off to you cos I'll be damned if I can do it! I understand your point about it perhaps being a little easier with singing it all.

[@crowz8200]

Fds

[@lasercorn2399]

If you're just starting out or getting back into the swing of things after a long time away, this song is a *great* exercise to get back on your feet.

[@dvt1393]

Such a deceptively simple sounding bassline. Compliments the rest of the song perfectly. I always thought that there was something of a Motown influence on the bass in this one. One of the best songs of the 80s. Perfectly played as always, CS. Thank you for doing what you do. Every video and tab is greatly appreciated.

[@devinfrench4924]

Bro this songs bassline is not simple lol I'm glad you used the word deceptively though, even though I disagree with that word as well This is not at all a simple bassline, the ghost notes, and all the fills

[@lukemason3793]

@@devinfrench4924 its very simply actually, and i'm pretty sure there are no ghost notes (usually marked by x's)

[@bluz1n]

that ending with the slides always catch me! sooo nice

[@GVike]

Didn't realize you slide down on one string then after that your next note is on another string. Edit: ooohhh he slides to the 10th fret on A which is an octave below that 12th fret on G? Oh...

[@Algo1]

I generally play this on my fretless, it just feels natural given all the slides. The outro is amazing.

[@scottborst5430]

This song was such a hit back in the 80s. And it’s one of the songs that still carries today thank you for showing us the bass riff

[@Dj_pound]

Brings back memories

[@whitespyder9]

Thank you for doing this one! I LOVE this bass line. Not overly complex, but perfectly compliments everything else going on in the song.

[@ricobonifacio1095]

Curt Smith is a great bass player. Good job on this, you are a great player too!

[@TheDp1965]

Great Job. One of my favorite band from the 80's Cheers.

[@teeoh9192]

I think you are truly the best transcriber on the net! I LOVE this song & the fact that you make these (sometimes) difficult tabs look so easy, inspires me to practice more! I'm subscribing right now!

[@dysonmodica9302]

Thank you so much for doing this song! It brought a huge smile to my face

[@ionlytalkaboutbass]

Fantastic playing as always. I absolutely adore your channel, you're so good at tabs and playing. It's honestly like a work of art. You really care about the viewer's experience and it shows. If I ever win the lottery I'm going to send you at least a million dollars because you've changed my life. You've helped me learn to play the bass and it's honestly improved my quality of life so much. Thank you for everything you do, sincerely.

[@traviswilliam2490]

same here brotha! and your pfp bass looks exactly like my bass lol

[@TheBadBuffalo]

So happy this got a cover ❤️

I always feel about Donnie Darko when I hear this song... And those are strong feelings.

[@OnPointFirearms]

Iconic scene. Me too.

[@randall9000]

I was a kid in the 80s, went to private school, and my mom owned this tears for fears on cassette tape. That shot in donnie darko gave me the biggest wave of nostalgia I’ve ever experienced

[@Arrrghjay84]

Same here. One of my favourite scenes in any film, just perfect use of a perfect song.

[@baseballfan4877]

Awesome! one of my favorite songs. glad you covered it. thanks

[@iangriffin7308]

Whenever I look for covers I always go to you first, best covers in my opinion

Great! Great job👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@lil_ezz120]

I love this song also thank you for the great video I can’t wait to learn this one

OH, I was really hoping for the Broken tag at the end of this. That bassline is killer!

Man! You make amazing videos.

[@tacofortgens3471]

Very underrated bass player, really great hooks

[@SolitaireG]

Covered this song in a band back in the late 90s, one of the most fun covers we played. At the end, I'd use my drop-D tuner to get a nice deep tone for the la-la-la's :) Great work as always

[@sojourner1511]

I could go for that.

Are you saying that because it was in Donnie Darko with Head over Heels

I already play acoustic and electric guitar but I'm looking forward to buying a bass. This will be the first song I'll try to learn

[@theopholistpunuval3594]

Can you do Don’t forget me by RHPC I know you don’t normally take suggestions in your comments but I haven’t been able to find a completely accurate tab anyware

[@RobertWadlow292]

Thanks for posting. It sounds good but I think this song is more suited to the warm tone of finger playing rather than with a pick

[@SamuelRock70]

[@Missile_Command]

Wondering about the slides: is Curt playing 0-1-2-3-4, or more like 0 2-3-4 or something else? And in the 3-to-12 slide, is he playing the notes all the way to and including the 12th fret on the A string, or maybe playing only to the 10th or other? Not sure how literally to take slide notation. Anyway this has been fun to learn & you sound great, thank you for doing this!!

[@LiveNinetyNine]

He plays 3-10 on the A string. He only picks the 3rd fret then slides to the 10th.
