Another great. From Mad World (1983) to this. Phenomenal ❤ I’ll say it again: one of the best bands there has ever been. They will always be essentially Roland on guitar and Curt on bass. They have always leveraged technology. But they are musicians ❤

The song was written by Tears for Fears founder member Roland Orzabal with long-term collaborator Charlton Pettus, and was inspired by Orzabal's struggles with grief and the loss of his wife.[1] In an interview with Rolling Stone, Orzabal stated that "The song itself was built out of a 'haunting backing track idea' created by the band's co-producer and longtime touring member Charlton Pettus. "He blended a couple of trademark themes, twisted the time signature and left me to sort out the rest." Regarding the lyrics, he commented "It came at a time when my (late) wife was very ill. I was watching her become a ghost of her former self. So the song's narrator is in a hospital ward looking at people about to cross the threshold that we call death....The line in the song says, ‘Will you ever know when it's the Tipping Point?' meaning, will you ever know when a person has crossed that threshold from life to death when you cannot even perceive that 'vague and distant void' as it's described in the lyric. I have to admit that even in March 2016 when I was read the riot act by doctors about Caroline possibly not making it through the weekend, I was still in denial. I think that when you've been close to someone for decades, they are living within you as well as without. And consciously I did not believe she would die, though subconsciously I was, without doubt, preparing for the inevitable, arming myself against the future shock

Thank you for a nice review. They are 62. Roland was born in August I think. I saw them live one time. Ultimate professionals. You would have thought it wad a cd. And Roland should never cut his hair.😂

There are plenty of live performances of this song on KZbin, the pair do use technology, but they are a 6 piece band when they tour, I believe the touring band all played on all the tracks on The Tipping Point. Check out the video for the song No Small Thing, which is the first track on The Tipping Point, the video doesn't feature Curt or Roland, but it is a very powerful video which references the BLM movement, Climate Change, the Covid Pandemic, and the current narrative which is trying to take our freedoms away, check it out, it's a powerful video.
