Roland Orzabal - Low Life

[@ellaineparis]

the album should be put in streaming services

[@ESPONET]

Absolutely!

[@ghostinthecraig]

Why isn’t it?!

[@ellaineparis]

@@ghostinthecraig idrk about the music industry but i think it's the process and the conditions that you have to agree in order to put it in streaming services ?? and the copyright thing... I think it's kind of a hassle

[@seandelfin]

you do realize that it’s not available on streaming services for political reasons yeah? if you use spotify without knowing what the people who own spotify are about you’re stupid.

[@darkswan80]

I think this album was basically self released by Roland himself. He had no record company, and he founded his own label, if I am not mistaken... I don't know about publishing and distribution, maybe he signed a deal with some company for physical distribution.... He could probably upload it to streaming platforms, but maybe he doesn't want to.... I'd love to be able to hear these songs in their original quality, so digital distribution would be nice since I am pretty sure that CDs will never be reprinted 🤷‍♂️ We as fans should make him an official request 😃😄😁

[@АлександрДедков-у6и]

This is one of the best tracks in my entire life, Thanks to Roland for his work and for his sincere transmission of feelings through music, this is the best, God bless Roland, I wish him health, happiness, prosperity and all the best, again sincerely Thank you thank you .. .......!

Such an underrated album... It´s a masterpiece with a unique atmosphere.

[@diegorositto7917]

i agree. I got this album in cd since released in 2001. Amazing .

Yes. It really is.

[@donaldclarkson9951]

Roland has eclipsed the music industry with his genius level compositions and studio production knowledge. He simply is light yrs. ahead of anybody else.

Highly underrated artist and album.

[@Undercoverbrotherfromanother]

Such a great overlooked record. So many great songs--- as usual. It could come out today and sound fresh. Always a pleasure to hear your music. Thank you. Should have 500 million listens.

[@scottshelton9660]

Best singer ever! The voice is impeccable. 🎶 🎵

[@benzoid123]

According to Roland, the album was released with unfortunate timing: September 11th, 2001. Sales weren’t very good for such an amazing record

[@crazyelf62]

That is true for the US release. But it was released in Europe several months earlier, I ordered an import copy in June 2001 and was able to enjoy this great album a few months before that horrible event. It is such a great album.

[@AndyB30]

I keep coming back to this song. I seriously think it's one of the best Roland has ever done. His vocals and production on this are just 🔥🔥🔥

[@thesoupnazi2628]

The way he utilizes his range! Like going from light vocals, slightly deeper then when his lower vocals hit at 2:07 ... chills!

[@delfineterno6869]

I love his voice, to me it's better than that of Curt...

[@monicaspaulo1763]

[@delfineterno6869]

@@luvsolarr It's not about being better or about lying: everyone has preferences, my personal preference is Roland's voice.. that's all.. I presume you will be able to understand it this time..

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

This song has such a grand, majestic sound.

[@MMmm-rk9oh]

Low life it's real It's Friday night and you've got no steel You can cry all you like But the truth still hurts and the hurt still bites And it all comes down to a very low high No give - no take You can't rely on a state of grace You can cry all you like But the pressure's on when the vein gets tight And it's all because of these cynical times Low life, low life No aim -no goal No guiding light that can take control You can cry all you like But you still don't speak to a world outside And it's all because of the sun in your eyes Low life, low life You can have it all but not at all fill that hole You can make this deal go underground All the saints are praying hard for your soul You can buy some wheels and run them down

[@blairlipscomb7378]

But what does that have to do with a pair of dog slippers?

[@monicaspaulo1763]

Não tenho a menor idéia 😂😂😂 🐶🦴🐶🦴🐶

[@chevelle68100]

Nothing. That was an idea that the video producer wanted to do. Roland says he never understood it. Still doesn’t.

[@carlab.1225]

Still AWESOME in 2022!!!❤️

[@glynisjones8128]

This should have been a "huge" hit...why not????!!!!

[@sandratansley8764]

because the album came out during 9 11 which is unfortunate

[@Noneyobisness]

I just wished my parents had given me such a cool name. I don't have words to describe you voice. You have blessed me with many years of joyful music, I never get tired!

[@aleorenes]

Genial,como todo lo que hace Roland.

[@carlab.1225]

YES!!! Why is the album not re-released? LOVE all the music by Roland!!!! ❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@whothefuareyou9765]

Im so glad my dad introduced me to Tears for Fears at such a young age. Im 21 and now that I understand the lyrics it hits even more.

[@thenouveauclinic]

[@mumblescares193]

Sadly, this amazing album had the unfortunate timing of being released when Napster and other download sites were becoming huge and music sales dropped significantly. I'm not sure why Roland didn't just use the TFF moniker for this album. The quality is definitely up there with albums like Elemental (which I also love).

Agree with all the great comments about this album. I had to order this directly from the UK, exchange rate was crap. Worth it! Funny, even serious TFF fans usually don't know about this gem.

[@Scaalit]

I think when Roland wrote songs for this album, he felt bad. Very depressive words in songs

[@larvalangel]

sometimes that is what it takes to create an expressive work. it's not ultimately about the bad feelings, but the spirit's effort to live through them.

[@pheffrey9446]

@@larvalangel exactly, writing things down and expressing them helps cope with whatever it is 🙂
