Kyle Meredith with... Tears For Fears

[@KyleMeredith]

Thank you for watching! If you liked it, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE! I’m posting three new interviews every week!

[@trueblu00]

I really hope someday Roland decide to write a book about his life 🤞

[@Cheesus4jesus]

I believe he did, Life After Rock and Roll, I think.

[@carlab.1225]

Tammy, a book by Roland would be so awesome!!!

[@KC-kh8df]

There’s a novel called “sex drugs and Opera” he wrote in 2014!! IDK if it’s still in print or what? Check it out bc it’s in part his real experiences!

[@valteraugusto6617]

I don't.

[@jamesmills7255]

@@KC-kh8df I just finished reading it and I would recommend it to others! It’s a quick read and there are some funny moments. I enjoyed trying to figure out what was based on real life and what was fiction!

[@dellaroscoe9496]

🤩 I’m a Curt Smith fan girl, but how can it be that both Curt and Roland have never looked better? They are both aging so handsomely.

[@tinalulumack378]

@Angel Jones They are both so good looking but Roland is my man!!!

[@tinalulumack378]

@Angel Jones I have loved this group for decades. I saw TFF w/o Curt only during Elemental and RATKOS. Roland's song writing and voice live in the 1990's sealed my love for him. But having gorgeous curly hair, full pouty lips, big hazel green eye and great smile doesn't hurt.LOL😍🥰☺

[@tinalulumack378]

@Angel Jones lol I understand! My BFF was a Roland lover from way back during his SFTBC look..once I saw him with that long curly hair during The Seeds of Love Era I understood why she crushed so hard on him. We were too young and broke to see them in concert but she bought the Going To California concert disk...after watching it I was crushing hard too. We both were determined to see them live for the next album no matter what! I'm going to the one August 2nd at the Hollywood Bowl. Fun fact Pale Shelter was filmed near my elementary and Jr High School in Westchester California and at the LAX airport!!

[@tinalulumack378]

@Angel Jones Thx!!🤩😘

[@tinalulumack378]

@Angel Jones unfortunately no. Other than youtube I hate social media

[@gibbyutah]

I saw them Thursday (7/20/23) in Denver. They are Fantastic!

[@kinanpixabal]

Today 22/08/2024 a special day... It's Roland's birthday ❤🎉

[@blackmagicwoman1493]

I would love to pick Roland’s brain about astrology, death, grief, and the afterlife. For Curt his book collection and fatherhood. He gives the sweetest father/grandfather vibes. Like he’s a gentle spirit.

[@anita.fringe]

It kind of freaked me out because I am a Leo sun, moon in Capricorn, and I just checked my chart and my Neptune is in Scorpio. That's exactly what he said. Weird

[@blackmagicwoman1493]

@@anita.fringe Life gives us those little synchronicities from time to time ❤️.

[@RyanCoomer]

rivers of mercy is what i imagined TFF would be making when i was 40. I am in my 40s. I love this song. It's so beautiful. It's my goodnight song of 1993 to 2023. Love it!

[@rebelpunx88]

"I was in a 3 acre state with a swimming pool and a tennis court, it was hell" such an underrated joke lmao

[@miguelmelo8735]

The first album i got as a child was tears for fears songs from the big chair and since then i never stopped listening to That because it was a great classic album .. .a.great huge success in Brazil!!!

[@jordanreid2619]

Roland orzabel was extremely talented in the 80s holy shit

[@tomrawley6549]

thank god for the internet, these two lads encapsulate the cool people of the 80's and has reborn the whole jenre of their particular music, the rebirth through this new album is an extension of the old tours that shows their class and craft, talk talk, china crisis ,IMO are in the same bracket, just how lucky are we to have these groups/artists/ genuises in our midst.

[@progmeup]

I miss Talk Talk / Mark Hollis 😥

[@kimberlyhendren2097]

TEARS is the BEST. My favorite since the beginning of time. They still sound better than ever. Just saw them again last summer. They should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Thanks for this great interview. Legends.

[@jamesmills7255]

Love the colour coordination between Roland's jumper and living room walls

[@CeliaSaavedra-u9l]

Roland is so gorgeous and handsome and talented ❤❤❤❤❤

[@jordanreid2619]

Curt smith was wicked bass player too

[@chrisyoungblood1421]

Fantastic interview! I could tell you’re a genuine fan, I appreciate that and I’m sure they did!

[@valentinelaout3077]

good in-depth questions Kyle, thank you! And thanks to Roland and Curt for the inspiration. Best band in the world! X

[@xprs1257]

They are incredible.. I’d love to meet them and just say hello..

[@RandomJane104]

They delivered! I saw them Monday. It was phenomenal!

[@adamslowikowski3085]

Fantastic interview! Thanks to Kyle for arranging a wonderful forum for my all time favourite British rock duo Tears for Fears! I really enjoyed Roland's brilliant calm and collected answers to questions, full of graceful common sense! Roland is so right to talk about death, even though it's a taboo subject! It's so important to realise that there is no life without death, as Goethe said! All the best to Tears for Fears for their great new album and world tour! 🙂🌻💛🙏

[@c2itccase9]

Through the years I’ve said Tears For Fears is my favorite band post The Beatles. They’ve made me look smart again. I agree with Roland, Rivers Of Mercy is a Top 10 TFF song.

[@henveee]

incredibly underappreciated band despite their influence and huge singles.

[@svalbard01]

Rivers of Mercy is soooo good.

[@SheilaKing2513]

That was a great interview. Can’t wait to see y’all in June in Tampa.

[@hippiechick1111]

Great interview. Loved these 2 for years. The upcoming concert should be one of the best - can't wait.

[@jeffswinbourne125]

[@leinemantovani8709]

Great interview! These guys are just the best! Love their honesty, their simple way of putting out their views of all topics important in life.

[@cleideaparecida9231]

Grande entrevista. Tears For Tears, uma das melhores bandas dos anos 80 até hoje. Suas canções vão perpetuar ainda pelo tempo. Amo esses dois Roland e Curt

[@alainmatringes1381]

Eu não sei inglês 😅, não sei do que falam,me parece que falam do disco novo....mas eu olho só para ver esses dois, ❤

[@8thhouseangie639]

This interview is great! Very intelligent questions asked of the guys. I am especially happy and proud too hear Roland speak on astrology and how he uses it to better comprehend topics on the world stage. As a fellow 8th houser, I know all about transformation and rebirth. It's imperative to speak about and shed light on topics that are taboo, dark or uncomfortable. People need to start the dialogue and overcome the fear.

[@pammyb1316]

I agree with you I throughly enjoyed this interview and I hope he continues to talk on these conversations. I am glad Roland bought it to the light and I hope he continues to speak on this matter. I’ll be here listening if/ when he does

[@klausanalschwabs4830]

Astrology has Satanic origins, as do all belief systems constructed by mortals. Judaism and its successor, Christianity, follow God's Natural Laws, as prescribed in the 10 Commandments, and handed on to Moses for us all. We are in the End Times, so get straight with the Divine Trinity, folks. ✝️

[@pammyb1316]

@@klausanalschwabs4830 well Astrology is actually used in the Bible so for you to say it has satanic origins is inaccurate. I am just curious why you are checking out this interview when you completely disagree with astrology and all of its “evil”

[@GlennTillema]

Great interview! It's been so long since their last album I think I'd really like to hear the discarded tracks just to try to understand their process.

[@christinacaruth835]

I love Roland Works in the past. There seems like The Tipping point is missing ABite and a hook. I am not a Musician but a listener of music. Tears for Fears holds A title to be one of the best bands in Decades.

[@Es_Elle]

First, they are not about being formulaic. Second, music has always been about a deep, personal message with this band (not a hook). It took several listens of the new album for me to get beneath the surface.

[@Chillednfunked]

I still think their first album “The Hurting” was a masterpiece

[@ellaineparis]

not regarding to the interview but was it The Seeds Of Love cd on Kyle’s background?

[@KyleMeredith]

Close. It was the Tears Roll Down greatest hits. But good eye. :-)

Roland is right, the binary approach left versus right is a dead end.

Yes. Love his answer, doesn't want to upset people on either side. Unlike Curt who loves to stir up arguments on Twitter with his political views.

[@KyleMiller]

Don't know where we came from before birth? Q's of life unanswerable? There's not enough discussion about death & afterlife? Huh? All this has been discussed for thousands of years. A season to reflect on mortality is called Lent. Happens every year.

Worst opening for an incredible writer(s)

[@stevejones3868]

One of my all time favourite bands, but this new album is dogshit. It's music for middle class types to play in the SUV when they're off to buy a new sofa... Because they're a bit bored with Coldplay.

[@Es_Elle]

Yikes, guess they can't please everyone! It took a few listens and I love the new album! Lots of millenials at the concert rocking out to all their new tunes. There's a huge fan base spanning decades!
