I tell you, these young bluegrass players are the keepers of the flame. Sierra, Mollie Tuttle, Billy Strings, et al. They are the ones who are keeping the best music from the last 50 years alive. The absolutely stunning talent and range of this generation of musicians that are technically "Bluegrass " is so impressive to me. If you are not aware of them you should do your self a favor and look into what these young artists are doing. Truly inspiring.

I enjoyed it. I used to plink around on a mandolin that was given to someone in the family as payment for room and board from a traveling salesman somewhere before 1920. It was already old then. My father used to play "Glow Little Glowworm" and his foot stomping shook the whole house! I guess it made him happy. I learned to play "Mandolin Wind" on it. It sort of looked like a half a watermelon with stripes on it.

80s actually ruled by driving great music off the market. The best progressive bluegrass and country folk artists had to redefine how they recorded and did business. Sierra is descended from that generation--Tony Rice, Chris Hillman, Kate Wolf, Nanci Griffith, and later Alison Krauss. In the MTV-ruled mainstream, there were just a few rare good songs, such as this one.

[@whipcrack259]

Anyone who had tickets to one of the canceled shows (which were rescheduled) could attend (until they filled up the venue). It was one of the coolest shows I’ve ever seen. What’s really interesting is Sara told the audience that she called several people to see if they were in town (or could get to Nashville) in time to play the show with them. Everyone she called including Sierra told her that they had tickets to the show and we’re going to be there anyway.

Freaking amazing. Honestly my favorite version.

I listen to a wide variety of music, and I have always loved Tears For Fears, but now the way Sierra and her band play this song makes me love bluegrass even more.

Wow what a great rendition of the original (one of my favourite songs ever) played on all my favourite string instruments by a band that I had never heard of! Simply amazing mandolin solo near the end!

i remember when it first came out. unforgettable moment in my life

I don't know why, but I did not expect that voice from her. Amazing performance.

[@joygatewood8028]

Wow. Unforgettable, timeless, classic.

[@madpriest7822]

Nice! Though it's really just a cover/remake of Gary Jules cover (donnie darko) of Tears for Fears. It would have been cool to see their actual version of the Tears of Fears song

I go back to this video, year after year.

Love the song choice and done to perfection! Thanks for sharing!🙏🏻🤹‍♀️

Kudos to the drummer! Playing softly with energy is so hard. I’ve wondered about just using my fingers, now I know it’s okay :) And that mandolin solo was absolutely brilliant!

[@eddierayvanlynch6133]

I wish more drummers used brushes - brings a different layer to this tune, for sure

[@adrianstunt1829]

Absolutely wonderful. What an amazing voice. What talent! Terrific rendition by all. I'm in awe. I could listen to this all day. These are musicians at the very top of their profession. Sheer, goose-pimpling joy to listen to this. Thank you.

Thanks Tears for fears but Sierra and band members, you take this to a different level. Thank you

[@sarahwisniewski6722]

Absolutely beautiful cover. I'm glad this showed up in recommended videos for me.
