This song, and Tears for Fears is the definition of the 80's. Great vocals, catchy lyrics, and melody. No 80's party would be complete without them! God I miss those days!

You ain’t kidding! I get laughed at all the time because I still listen almost exclusively to my favorites 80s groups and the 70s. I just think it was an era when groups all played their own music, own instruments, no autotune, and the songs have substance. Such a great era!

Tears For Fears were a band in the 80’s where you listened to it, alone in your bedroom. For hours. People didn’t have a language for emotional problems back then. As they do today. Ppl didn’t ever talk about anxiety etc. Tears For Fears verbalised problems/turmoil for us in the 80’s. Yes their songs were played at parties. But they were an emotional touchstone too.

[@melaniemavromaras4902]

“Mad World” is a more moody song from them that you must react to next. Strong, emotional lyrics. It could up being your favourite !

[@SarahGreen523]

SUCH a great song!! Haunting!

[@marksterner7532]

I agree. And then check out Adam Lambert's performances of that on American Idol, and Pentatonix' cover of that song. Both versions are outstanding, dare I say, "Better than the original"!!!

[@lynnhettrick7588]

"Mad World" is a cover, but I like TFF's version best.

[@nzlemming]

@@lynnhettrick7588 No, it was written and recorded first by TFF. Lots of other people have covered it (notably Gary Jules' version) but it was a 1982 Tears for Fears original. "Mad World" was originally written on acoustic guitar when Orzabal was 19 after being inspired to write a new wave song in the vein of Duran Duran's "Girls on Film". After a few false starts with Orzabal on vocals, he suggested Smith sing it and "suddenly it sounded fabulous". --Wikipedia.

The album Songs from the Big Chair was an 1980's masterpiece from Tears for Fears. Shout along with Everybody Wants to Rule the World stood out as instant classics which have stood the test of time!!! Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith are two of the finest singers and musicians to come out of England. I love their work and they sound just as good today as they did when Shout came out 37 years ago. Can you believe it's been 37 years? I was 17 when the album and the song came out. My God how the time flies by!!!

[@rogerdaly6326]

The more you listen to TFF the more you will hear that they do alot of building up songs in layers with a lot going on. Their songs are truth in the sum = the parts. Amber you are right about Rolands voice. Very unique & distinct. No one else sounds like him & his voice is instantly recognizable. Curts voice is softer but good as well. This song featured Rolands voice where Everybody Wants To Rule The World was mostly Curt. One of the best bands ever. Please do more by them , you won't be disappointed. Sowing The Seeds will have you thinking Beatles all day.

[@TheBruceGday]

I totally agree and support Roger’s post.

[@antonytheolddog8626]

Sowing the seeds, caused their break-up to a degree. They argued a lot of the direction of the song, it was the search for perfection. Supposedly they were not happy with it originally, but it is a perfect song. The lyrics are brilliant, and the changes throughout are what makes it a perfect pop song. I'm a heavy metal dude. But t4f are possibly my favourite band growing up back then. What about mad world...fully electronic and another iconic song. woman in chains is pure soul music in a way. they can do everything. including a brand new number one album a month or two back..

[@jameshelm2847]

I don't think Amber realizes that with the three (3) songs they have reacted to both have been the lead singer. I think she believes it has been Roland all along. I've always gotten The Beatles vibe from this song. It ends like Hey Jude where everyone can join in with a simple lyric.

Greetings from the UK, home of Tears for Fears. The "echoey" effect is a particular effect called gated reverb, actually discovered by accident by Phil Collins. It is used a lot of 80s artistes to create a deeper effect to their voices. It is used in Head Over Heels to accentuate Roland's vibrato, which I know Jay appreciated when you reacted to it! I would be interested to see what you make of their more experimental first album, The Hurting. Mad World and Changes are musts.

Gated reverb is used on the snare drum in a lot of 80s songs. The common vocal reverb as heard here is a plate reverb with a medium decay, perhaps some slapback delay on there.

Yes, and also they often used 'gated reverb'. It's a reverb sound that's cut off by a noise gate. This type of drum sound was basically discovered / invented by Phil Collins and made famous by the song "In The Air Tonight".

For the new listeners, looking through the history of music the 80s synth pop in particular captured urban pain like it had never been captured before. There were so many new sounds in the 80s and this song, as one example, captured in a powerful way that dissonance that perhaps we all feel sometimes.

[@MisterWondrous]

I checked out in the '80s and focused on book lernin', but this group's music made its way to my study, and I still love it to this day. Thank y'all so much for keeping groovy music alive. If I could make one tiny suggestion, it would be that, when you stop in mid-sentence, you back it up a little, so that you don't miss, in this case, one of the most important lines in the song. "They gave you life, and in return you gave them Hell." has more impact than "They gave you li..." [Commentary]..."and in return you gave them Hell." As y'all evolve the form of music reaction, you will, of course, adopt best practices as they arise. If I weren't writing a story about the phenomenon, I wouldn't have mentioned it. I love the vibe here. The world needs a re-engroovenation. Peace and Love.

[@TheCornishCockney]

Yet ANOTHER iconic British band. We ROCK !!

[@rebelpunx88]

Roland's voice is iconic

[@shlomogmz]

Been waiting for this reaction. Phenomenal song! They just dropped a new album a couple months ago and you should def react to their song "The Tipping Point".

[@cathyopthof8136]

Tears for fears was a fabulous duo! Sowing the Seeds of Love, is by far their best song!

[@chuckw69]

This band brings back so many fantastic memories of my high school days. Great band and great choice of songs

[@davegazaway3103]

If you liked this one, best tears for fears song ...WOMAN IN CHAINS

[@wickedwillis5611]

Love that song and Oleta Adams is great on it as well

[@brentcox7772]

Cool band!! Try Donnie Iris “Ah! Leah!”🤘🔥

[@vinniemoran7362]

They were different from everyone else in the '80s. So much more creative. And it isn't just their singles that are great, their albums are outstanding.

In 83'-84' I was a senior in High School. The Tears for Fears cd "The Hurting" was always in my car. The band was popular, but two years later when "Songs from the Big Chair" came out they were radio gods. While Shout never did it for me lyrically, the music of the last minute saves the song. Good choice, but this band's deep cuts are where they really shine. They pour emotion into every corner.

Glad to see you on the Tears for Fears track. Now you MUST do Sowing The Seeds of Love and Head over Heels, two amazing songs!!!!!

[@JoTracy]

One of my favourite bands! Love them. Woman In Chains is great too

[@deborahh2556]

Love Tears For Fears. Always have. The epitome of the 80's, ingrained forever in our hearts. What a sound they had!!!

[@AL13NM]

Amazing song from an amazing album!!! IF YOU LEAVE by Orchestral Maneuvers In The Dark is an 80's Must Hear!!!

[@caseymoe816]

Song just puts you in a trance from the start, and then just builds and builds and builds up to that epic guitar solo. Great choice guys! So good! 🔥🤙

[@DrAlban1]

Yeah, the guitar solo is one of the best i have ever heard in a pop song.

[@BedlamAndBones]

As someone who has been through their share of trauma in life, this song will always resonate with me. Only Tears for Fears could write a song about primal scream therapy and have it hit #1 in America. In 1985, no less. Heartbreaking genius.

[@audreycumby1075]

Tears for Fears! What a group! 'Head Over Heels' is another great song by this group!

[@ingobordewick6480]

They just released a new album after all these years... and it is amazing!

[@bluejay9940]

I forgot how good this song is , so awesome

[@jad4680]

so so many 80s hits! "THE WORKING HOUR" for reaction such an awesome saxophone solo in this as well. ; )

[@lightlantern]

They Just Released A New Killer Album!! 🔥❤️

[@DizJakeOG]

Try Woman In Chains and Sowing The Seeds Of Love next.

[@buckbuchanan4902]

Such an amazing song! I remember when this video played like 10 times a day on MTV, and the song ruled the air waves. I got tired of it after a while, but now, since I haven't heard it in a while, it has hit me again with the power of those amazing vocals, and all the instruments and sounds that are so masterfully blended in. It makes me want to go outside, throw my head back...and SHOUT! (The neighbours hate when I do that!)

[@skydogfan4671]

Tears for Fears had a fair number of hits in the eighties, but are a really underrated band. Roland Orzabal, who sang in this song, is one of the most talented musicians in the last 40 years.

[@leroyrs]

Very 80s, so good and full of emotions and passion. Those songs had great harmonies and melodies that stuck in your head forever. Comparable songs came from Simple Minds ("Don't you forget about me" or "Alive and Kicking").

[@NeutronDance]

Great guitar solo

[@surlechapeau]

Guitar solo reminds me of U2. Maybe he uses the same guitar as The Edge
