After an exhausting world tour in 1985 Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith were burnt out and almost dissolved Tears For Fears. In September 1985, after their last gig in Kansas City they met to discuss the future of the band in the lounge at the Hyatt. By absolute chance, an unknown singer named Oleta Adams was tending piano and doing her nightly set in the hotel bar. They were so blown away by her voice and passion for music they brought her in to sing on their 1989 album The Seeds of Love, and this song was written specifically for her. She single-handedly reinvigorated the duo and her stellar solo career was born. 🔥🤙

To be exact, their drummer Manu Katché played from the start to three and a half minutes and then Phil came in from there until the end. They wanted him to bring a similar vibe to The Air Tonight. Phil later stated it was one of the hardest songs he's played .

Mother's Talk is also about global thermonuclear war and the machine that turns children into soldiers to die for their country (the awesome opening lines of "it's not that you're not good enough- it just that we can make you better. / given that you pay the price, we can keep you young and tender / follow in the footsteps of a funeral pyre / you were paid not to listen now your house is on fire.") Also the song Laid So Low is just...the biggest most painful breakup song ever. It's clearly about the split they had in the 90s.

The slow steady insistent build of this song is a thing of absolute beauty. This is a very personal song for Roland whose father was a domestic abuser, and the Woman In Chains is his mother. The song is also about how toxic masculinity suppresses men from experiencing their true selves and full emotions - leading to terrible consequences for themselves and others. The anthemic _'So free them'_ at the end is as much about freeing men from society's damaging expectations as freeing women from oppression. Also, it's a bangin' choon, and Oleta is just *fab,* isn't she?
@MichelleEnqels
@MichelleEnqels Жыл бұрын
I love your deeper dive into the message behind this powerful song. Your interpretation is so on-point. We (as a society) have raised our level of awareness of the prevalence of domestic violence and have made efforts to help women (mostly) get away from their abusers. But as you point out, the problem goes much deeper than that. Nobody seems to realize how insidious our culture's view of what it means to be a "man" is and how far-reaching the damage it causes is. Those expectations hurt us all. It's a shame.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but something additional to consider is there will always be strong evil and toxic men. To deal with them, good men need to be equally as strong or stronger in multiple ways, be it cops who arrest them, or competitors in any realm like business, politics, almost anything really. So I think we need to tread carefully in what we try to eliminate from masculinity, or we could end up in a situation where the most toxic and evil men have too much control if good men no longer know what strength they can possess to fight the good fight or if they believe it's unhealthy to access that strength. I'd hate to see a situation where some guys play nice, while others play by no rules, and the one's who play nice get left behind. That can be dangerous in itself because men who have no purpose in life with no chance of turning it around can end up being dangerous men.

This woman is Oleta Adams, she has a beautiful voice. Tears for Fears discovered her, while she was singing in a bar, and asked her if she was willing to sing on one of their songs for the new album. Also, Phil Collins plays the drums. At the beginning you hear a little influence from Phil from the song “Duchess”. Amazing song as well.

Hermosa canción de un album genial de una banda genial. Gracias por reaccionar a este tema, pionero en visibilizar la violencia hacia la mujer, y de una forma sutil. Hay muchos temas más en el album que lo contenía y que tambien podrían reaccionar, porque estoy convencido que les gustarían. Los sigo hace tiempo chicos, y me encanta lo que hacen. Abrazo desde Patagonia Argentina!!

Amber, you nailed it ! This pairing at that moment was pure magic….voices together made that song a gem, didn’t pick up on it at the time, came back to me years later….now it’s a playlist staple!

I love this for you two. One of my top 5 songs of all time. Have been lucky enough to see them live in concert and hope to catch them on this tour as well. If you love this, look into "The Working Hour" off of Songs from the Big Chair. Also, they found her singing in a night club, and brought her to the masses via this song.

One of the best pop songs ever written! Kicked of Oleta Adams career. Her „Get here“ is absolutely beautiful too. Fun Fact: Phil Collins played drums on „Woman in chains“

You guys have picked High Tier music today. Tears For Fears are one of my favorite bands. This song is so deep on so many level the struggle for women's equality and rights....The struggle with Mother Earth and she in chains with our pollutions......the struggle with battered women in freeing them from their abusive men......so many level.....Yes....the group were impressed with a Piano Bar player Oleta Adams so much that they asked her to join their group and she accepted...and is still a member but does her solo R & B acts on her own and when they need her she joins them in the studio to cut a album.....Tears For Fears latest album has Oleta Adams on it.....Don't miss it....you will regret it!!! It is FIRE!!!! ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Two Strike....one with "Roundabout" by Yes; two with "Woman In Chains" by Tears For Fears!!!! Wow!!! Your ears and music taste is growing!!! Hahahahaaha......lol.....hahahaha

Love this song, Oleta Adams has a beautiful voice, I remember when the first gulf War was going on in 1991 they played her song Get Here, which was very emotional for all the armed forces that were there , my brother was over there at the time and I remember her song playing all the time, please listen to Oleta Adams singing Get Here x

Yeeeaah, more Tears For Fears! When I was a kid, I of course loved them. But as an adult I have such a bigger appreciation for them. They are sooo great.

I just saw them in concert (May 2022). They were awesome! Loved the new songs along with some of the older ones. So great to see them back together! This has always been a favorite song of mine. It’s powerful with a relevant message. Roland Orzabol had an incredible and powerful range. He still sings really well ❤️‍🔥😊

A perfect classic: the build-up, the voices and harmonies, the lyrics and the message, the drums (courtesy of Manu Katche and Phil Collins), the guitar arpeggios and last, but not least the powerful bass of Curt Smith (who happens to be an awesome singer too). Will never get tired of this song and this band

Saw TFF on 06/17/22 in Fishers, IN. The lady they have touring with them, Lauren Evans, did a tremendous job with Roland on "Woman In Chains". Oleta Adams would be proud of her!!!

Hey Jay and Amber , I am fairly new to your channel and I love all of your reactions to these great songs I've grown up with. I also love the way Jay loves the BeeGees. I gone through most of your Beegees reactions and couldn't find one for (Staying Alive) that one is one I believe you both will love . Anyway keep up the great work. You both are awesome. Bless you both.

You can hear the passion and pain in their voices. Wonderful song. Tears for Fears had many great songs through the 80's and 90's. Try "Sowing the Seeds of Love." It's the title song from the album and where this incredible song comes from as well. What a treat it is!
