To me, as a blue's/ Rock fan and normally not liking "pop" songs, this is more than that. It was pretty complex and had a message too. One of my all time favorites. And I'm more a Blue's/ Rock guys. Perfect song for the mud 80s. Not techno but real music.

This song is about the quest for power, and how it can have unfortunate consequences.

I have played "Head Over Heels" for decades and still enjoy it. Make sure to listen to the "Head Over Heels/Broken" version from the album, as opposed to the video version that leaves out the outro that adds a phenomenal transition at the end. Also, "Sowing the Seeds" of love is a masterful Beatlesque homage.

Oh my god I was listening to this song just last week and thought “Lex would enjoy this groove.” And she did! So funny. And a lot of the video shows the singer driving in a convertible, like on a road trip. She called it! You’ve probably heard this in grocery stores and drugstores, it gets played a lot. If you’re looking for more Tears For Fears, I think you’d really love the message and vibe of “Shout.” Probably their most famous song, and for good reason. Very catchy too!

If there is one song that embodies and captures the entire decade of the 80s, it is this song. No other comes close. And yes, this is a gas station song, as every gas station (or grocery store or department store, etc.) has the streaming satellite music that plays this song on pretty much every channel. Lex, you are the ultimate 80s girl, no matter the genre. And considering that I was 16-25 during that decade, that is the ultimate compliment (as far as I'm concerned). You are a joy to watch.

They split for a while then got back together. During the split, Roland Orzabal released a couple albums under the TFF name. “Elemental” is one of them… it’s a must-listen, start to finish. Another to consider is “Saturnine Martial & Lunatic,” a collection of B-sides and “leftovers”, worthy of its own place in their ‘official’ lineup.

So many memories with this song. Tears for Fears was my best friend's favorite band. It feels like the ultimate 80s song and always will to me.

This song is an Anthem. Not a gas station, mall, or break up song. This song resonated the world over. This is 80s music at its best.

I was a teenager in the eighties and there was this ever-looming feeling that we were going to have a World War soon. There was always talk in the news about the nuclear arms race and there were several movies dedicated to world war 3 like Red Dawn, War Games, The day after, ect. We really lived the whole second half of the decade expecting to be blown up at any moment. The lyrics to the song which came out around 85 seems to capture this essence.

Talking about WW3 films... Don't forget "The Day After" (it was on network TV, had disclaimers every 15 minutes, and was still a disturbing depiction of life after a nuclear strike).

Excellent, excellent track. One of the absolute best night driving songs, right behind U2's "New Years Day." I insist on ending all my karaoke sessions with this. If you want more Tears for Fears, check out "Shout."

Last song written for the album Songs from the Big Chair. This is the most popular album of Tears for Fears. Rekeased in 1985. Written by Chris Hughes, Ian Stanley and Roland Orzabal. IS played keyboards before he quit. CH was hired to produce the album. He was the drummer for Adam Ant. The song has a drum loop like Waterfront, written and performed by Simple Minds. CH played the loop and asked RO to play 2 guitar chords. This bored RO. IS played synthesizers throughout the song. RO wrote the lyrics. Curt Smith sang the lead vocals. This song was the 3rd one released. It became their most popular song! Suggested next TFF video: Break It Down Again. 🇬🇧 Influence. Glass Tiger singer Alan Frew said that this song inspired their hit Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone. 🇨🇦 Suggested video Glass Tiger. Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone.

One of those timeless classics that bottled up its era and became one with it. You can't think of the 80's without this song and you can't think of this song without the 80's.

Best 80s band without doubt and one of the best in the 90s. Whether its catchy singles or thought provoking album tracks and now after an 18year gap they have a new album in the works due to drop in February and a pretty extensive US section of their tour in May-June 22
