Ronan Orzabal has to be the most underrated artist ever. He's brilliant. Could listen to him all day. Tears for Fears songs from the 80s are just as listenable now!! Love for you to review Woman in Chains featuring Oleta Adams.

[@garyarnett1220]

Great suggestion !!

[@stefaniebrauer128]

I fell back in live with these 2 when they released they’re latest album. Just brilliant.

[@HazyWave1974]

Tears for Fears are amazing and stylistically diverse. Check out "Woman in Chains" they did with Oleta Adams and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" which you've definitely heard before but might not realize. "Shout" was a big hit for them too.

[@RonaldCanfield-m2r]

"Woman in Chains" from the same album.

[@tedjung3700]

My favorite Tears for Fears song, probably because it is so clearly an homage to the Beatles.

[@seaminer5894]

The lyrics are powerful and the visuals are full of esoteric and spiritual connotations...

[@kenneth2875]

Wikipedia-The song's title was inspired by a radio programme that Orzabal had heard at the time about folk song collector Cecil Sharp. One of the songs was called "The Seeds of Love", which Sharp learned from a gardener called Mr. England (reflected in the lyric "Mr. England sowing the seeds of love") in 1903. Sharp overheard John England singing the song, and was inspired to look more deeply into English traditional songs. "The Seeds of Love" was therefore the first song that Sharp collected, and the one that sparked the English folk song revival. "Sowing the Seeds of Love" incorporates a number of musical styles and recording techniques, with a number of reviewers considering it a pastiche of the Beatles, produced in a tempo and style reminiscent of their late 1960s output, even for the use of a brief trumpet line very similar to the one that can be heard in "Penny Lane". It was written in June 1987, during the week of the UK General Election in which Margaret Thatcher and the Conservative Party won a third consecutive term in office. The election prompted Roland Orzabal to take an interest in politics, with a special interest in socialism due to Thatcher's attitudes towards the working class. At the time of its release in 1989, he considered this to be the most overtly political song that Tears for Fears had ever recorded. The lyrics refer to Thatcher specifically with the lines: "Politician granny with your high ideals, have you no idea how the majority feels?" (Mrs Thatcher that year having had her first grandchild born.) Elsewhere, the song takes a dig at fellow musician Paul Weller with the line "Kick out the style, bring back the jam" as Orzabal felt Weller had lost touch with his working class political outlook after the dissolution of his previous band The Jam in lieu of the less political material he was writing with his current band The Style Council at the time. In the third verse, the lyrics mention a sunflower, which references a piece of graffiti that Orzabal found on a wall near his house in London. Orzabal took further inspiration from "I Am the Walrus" when developing the song, including the tempo changes. However, David Bascombe, who served as the engineer and producer for these sessions, recalled that the band instead derived the tempo from a parody of the song titled "Piggy in the Middle", which was created by The Rutles

[@Taylorswiftfan13308]

I feel like this is an act you could pull a number of songs by. The biggest hits have been well spoken for in comments, but some less well-known songs of theirs are great too and should at least be considered if this turns into a deep dive... Mad World -

[@FPS1200]

This was an homage to The Beatles.

[@davidcopson5800]

They would later do a homage to the Beach Boys with 'Brian Wilson Said'.

[@keithosmond5730]

I got into an exchange with a guy on another reaction to this song who *absolutely insisted* the song bore no resmblance to the Beatles whatsoever, and there must be something wrong with me for saying so - lol!

[@marleneobstnash5517]

​@keithosmond5730 You are not wrong. The video, lyrics and music are so strongly an homage to the Beatles!!

[@josephnucci257]

I am the walrus! Goo goo ga joob!

[@normandavidtidiman9918]

No it wasn't

[@TheCornishCockney]

This,young lady,is music. I know it might overwhelm you to see real talent but us oldies got used to being overwhelmed by the fantastic music of that era,60’s,70’s and 80’s.

[@simonpoole2333]

Yet another brilliant English band. How such a small country is responsible for so many of the best bands of all time is extraordinary

[@stevetanner3019]

“Woman In Chains” by them also from this same album is absolutely brilliant. You’d LOVE it.

[@TammyC61]

Welcome to the 80’s MTV world of music videos.

[@lauraslanesvanlifetravels]

As far as I know, this was their last big hit, and I do think it was "political" and they were way ahead of their time...I think they knew LOT about what's REALLY going on.

[@Boodieman72]

The do have a new album out.

[@mattgarfinkle978]

Yeah this was their last top ten hit (#2 in 1989)

[@alwaysengines]

Very much their ode to the Beatles.

[@paultaylor9498]

Better than the better as well

[@nickblood7080]

A lot of the time it’s best to just close your eyes and feel music. Let the vocals and what lyrics you can hear paint pictures in your mind. Dance if that’s your tap your foot or what ever feels good.

[@anita.fringe]

I freaking love this band. Roland is an extraordinary songwriter!

[@kalanos4660]

Back when people thought love conquered all. Before reality set in.

[@Starwarslegorob]

I Love me some Tears for Fears ! So underrated

[@nolaspeaker5656]

There are very few of us left who still remember what it was like to be wondering what was going to follow after the 80's - when 1990 finally arrived. This was optimistic.

[@patcow9999]

I've heard this song many times without paying much attention to the lyrics, joining in loudly in my car, the chorus. So, I was precisely today years old, whilst watching Brits take here, when I noticed the lyric: "kick out the style bring back the jam". Just googled it and seen it was a political jibe at Weller by Orzabal for, in his opinion, abandoning his working class socialist lyrics of The Jam for the calmer waters of The Style Council. Being a fan of Weller and all his former incarnations, I see where he's coming from, but The Jam had aired some soul songs, hinting on Pau's next direction. Back to Tears for Fears, saw them at the Beautiful Blenheim Palace a few years ago, absolutely banging concert with this great song and many more.

[@erickent3557]

To me, also invokes the MC5's iconic "Kick out the jams, mfers!"

[@javiergabrielcajasherrera5320]

They are psychologists who make music... you have to listen to the song "elemental".. almost all of its lyrics lead to catharsis. They did very well in sending messages of conscience with good rhythms and sounds. They use music as a great communicator with all their studies.

[@dalemcmillan7231]

The lyrics are straight forward and easily understandable. Brilliant song. ❤

[@johant23]

it was a protest song about the need for change. primarily against the conservative govt in the uk at the time which had been in power for years. the line "politician granny with your high ideals..." refers to Margaret thatcher. who was the uk prime minister at the time. tears for fears wrote a lot of quite political stuff

[@Jean-FrancoisPirenne]

this was my preferred piece by Tears for Fears.

[@robertcussins2807]

So much better if you ignore the video. These guys are amazing musicians.

[@stevetanner3019]

People said this is what the Beatles would have sounded like in the 80’s. This was a bit of a tip of the hat to the fab 4 (Beatles).

[@Hinderkey]

I love this song always loved this song this is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@cmoorhead1]

Sometimes you just have to enjoy the song

[@robertcollins197]

Please don't let this be the only Tears for Fears song you react to. They have stuff you'll love.

[@Jereshification]

“Is that a Viking woman singing!”

[@DavidPChristian2]

This has Lennon/Mccartney with Sir George Martin producing stamped all over it.

[@jaybuckley1455]

If Britt loves the Righteous Brothers [who had Panty Bropping abilites] and Patsy Cline [who, along with Elvis had no Black DNA ] , She will like The Platters [ Smoke gets in your Eyes ], and J. Mathis [The 12th of Never ] and Nat King Cole [ Mona Lisa ] among several of his slow-mo hits from the '50s.

[@dillodefense]

This is one that having the lyrics pulled up might help. I love this song. "Woman In Chains" is another great one from this band.

[@richardwhitney645]

Check out Geoff Castilucci’s version of High and Dry! You’ll hear his full 5+ octave range. Thank you, I enjoy your reactions!

[@gemeloreacciona]

I love this song

[@munnygawn9480]

Barbara Streisand Woman in Love"

[@KingLeo-ng5tc]

Your Right about the Message and for this song 🎵 to be 35 years old it Stills Means Something in Today's Time Definitely Today 2024

[@yaseenbradley9829]

Britt you have a soothing demeanour

[@gerszahl]

I think you got to be from my generation (born 71), to really appreciete this song.

[@Hinderkey]

Oh. You hated this, wow that says alot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DocRock71]

This is a perfect example of why I don't like it when Reactors react to music videos on a first listen. They get WAY too distracted by the videos and visuals, instead of focusing on the song and music, which ruins the reaction for me. Music videos from the past didn't HAVE to make sense, they were just for being visually stimulating.

[@lovlylizzy]

Have you done Holding Back the Years by Simply Red?? I feel like you would like it a lot.

[@keymack2477]

Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith and the singers and were the driving force behind Tears For Fears! Great message, great song, great reaction, great Scott!!

[@lutdesimpelaere2947]

Great band , great song. Loving everybody regardless who they vote for? That’s hard when one of the candidates is sewing the seeds of hate. Just a thought

[@doublebo7]

PDC PDC KLAXON!! TEDDY PENDERGRASS LIVE IN LONDON …. Come go over..

[@stefaniebrauer128]

Always love your reactions ❤

[@farfromperfek]

This is a band and song extremely influenced by the Beatles.

[@davidcopson5800]

I wouldn't go as far as "extremely". This song is overtly in the style of the Beatles but their first two albums are nothing like The Beatles.

[@Scottish_TV_Gold]

Song yes. Band no.

[@zoeherriot]

@@Scottish_TV_Gold the band was influenced by the Beatles, but they did not overtly show it in most of their albums. Influenced by does not mean "sounds like".

[@Scottish_TV_Gold]

@@zoeherriot Thanks

[@andyyoung9463]

If you don't already know it, I highly suggest listening to their song with Oleta Adams, Woman In Chains.

[@hibhibb5429]

💙Check out "MAD WORLD" song/video by Tears For Fears. It's such a Classic!!! Love it!! 🥰 🧡

[@dalemcmillan7231]

Love it❤ Big hit for them❤❤

[@doublebo7]

Confusion please check out Teddy Pendergrass…. Don’t leave me this way and come go with me…. Please?😂

[@djpeternice]

[@michaelbiggs7861]

Woman In Chains is their masterpiece.

[@listfa]

[@Veritas-TheGoader]

KZbin needs more blind humans doing music reactions. Eyes are getting in the way of listening to a damn song.

[@pamagnolia]

[@brittreacts]

I will check it out

[@johanforsstrom75]

You are so beautiful

[@farmergeddon7527]

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

[@thomasroth4533]

Stop talking over the music, stop interrupting and stop censoring the videos. Bye Britt.

[@Hinderkey]

I usually really like your reactions ,admire you, connect with, but this was the biggest Piece of garbage reaction to this song I have ever seen. Your entitled to you opinion but I just don't understand, vocal were great music was great, I guess that person was right the music video messed you up but I don't know if its even that. I be watch a ton of reactors and a ton of songs and this reaction pissed me of more than anyone I have ever seen. And I watched someone call Sebastion Bach's vocals questionable!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tedjung3700]

I do wish you would focus primarily on the music when you do your reactions. These older songs were written for radio, and the videos were afterthoughts used to market the song. In many cases the band isn't even the primary creative force in the production of the video. When you get distracted by the video, you're not really reacting to the music. Disappointing reaction.

[@rodrigovalenzuela8355]

Hay una version en vivo que es muchísimo mejor... Menos caótica y más ' limpia ". Acá es demasiado para procesar.

[@scotfree8363]

🤪

[@steverakes6182]

Way to much talk during the song.
