Hi Jay! Here’s a suggestion for your one hit wonder list “I’ve never been to me” by Charlene. It was a worldwide hit for reasons still unknown. Also no one else on KZbin has reacted to it! Cheers ✌️🇦🇺🥰 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKC2m5urfsdpi9U

[@hab9609]

Check out some police songs. Eagles, Heart, Earth Wind & Fire.

[@kerryn6714]

Eric He’s done quite a few reactions to The Police, The Eagles & Earth, Wind & Fire. Not sure about Heart though.

[@4utobn2tmh55]

Liston to the song on their GOING TO SANTA BARBARA CONCERT, it's the second song. Amazing!!!

[@stevesheriff5515]

Please listen to woman in chains.......epic

[@wardeerent]

As an old fart, it warms my heart when the youngsters appreciate the really good music from the 80s. It was a different world indeed.

[@oldeskoolnana7543]

We are the cool generation. Best music ever. I was a teen in the 70's & saw almost every artist back then. Wouldn't trade it for the world. We may be old but we are cool. My granddaughter & her friends say I'm the bomb. Cooler than their parents. I take it a a huge compliment.✌🌻🌻

[@geoffhunter1383]

You know it brother

[@TroysSweetCornhole]

Quite the boomer comment

[@runtomelonely6346]

​@TroysPepperstick actually people who were teens/early 20s in the 1980s were Generation X.

[@dawnsiskowic4382]

The last line, "Funny how time flies" is such a true statement. One moment you are 18yo hearing Tears for Fears for the first time and the next moment, you are a 55yo grandparent... Thank goodness for the music carrying me through all these years!!! 😍🥰😍🥰

[@emmejayeh.5995]

Yes, yesterday I was a sophomore in high school, and now I'm 51. The hell?

[@georgiegunn9577]

Funny how he never sings that last line anymore...🤔😉🤷‍♀️

[@renaem4932]

One of my favorite bands from the 80's. Remember sitting at the Jersey shore listening on my boombox to their songs over & over. To go back to 20 yrs old.

[@Parchedskincare]

Dawn Siskowic our nursing homes are gonna be jammin 🤣 we will charge admissions

[@Ricketik65]

Hi Dawn, we are the same age and everything you said goes for me too, including the grandparent part. Isn't it crazy that people from totally different parts of the world can share an experience through music. And such great music it is.

[@laurakali6522]

“Sowing the Seeds of Love” is a must!

[@Tom81196]

YES!!!!

[@jamesalexander5623]

Their Tribute to the Beatles!

[@judywinkler1214]

Another perfect song. Bassist Gail Dorsey played with this excellent band until she got a call from Mr. David Bowie. She was his bassist until he passed. She has such high praise for this great band. Check her out, excellent musician.

[@carmenana4890]

Yes 👌

[@markrich7171]

YES an absolute must!!" Don't delay... check out today!!!

[@anabelnieuwen]

Roland Orzabal (singer in this song) is the main songwriter. He’s incredible ❤️

[@cocod594]

Now this I heard and loved!

[@descendantoffools9767]

Elemental was a great album.

[@xoxxobob61]

They are without a doubt master Songwriters.

[@juaneato]

The Duckman!

[@briannichols159]

Songs from the big chair is an awesome album as well 😁😁😁

[@Eowyn187]

They're at the top of my 80s pop/rock playlist. Will never tire of them.

[@DJFunkygroove]

Probably the best extende version of Head over heels there is kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqOVaGqMlMh1bLM

[@Eowyn187]

@@DJFunkygroove thx

[@laminage]

What was so great about them is that they both took "turns" singing lead and that's saying alto because you never saw that with Hall & Oates. This Video was filmed in Toronto, Ontario and keep in mind that Duran Duran, The Police, Wham and even The Backstreet Boys were popular in Canada before they hit the big time in America. They also were one of many Acts who appeared on American Bandstand in the 1980's.

[@marusnyamoso9344]

Me too

[@melpomdeun6257]

Roland has one of the best voices-five octave range? Good God’

[@Alex-bs4md]

"Pale Shelter" is an awesome underrated song of theirs, I recommend it!

[@rebeccaholmes1982]

I think this is probably my favourite TFF song, so amazing!

[@rickvidal9783]

Agreed

[@nicholaselsass1186]

It's unbelievable to me that this song, shout, and everybody wants to rule the world came from the same album

[@tedfangc]

You are right on pal!

[@zlattesboy]

Gotta check out Mad World!

[@kenttaylor9238]

Absolutely

[@3DJapan]

It's so different from the later version from the Donnie Darko soundtrack!

[@zlattesboy]

@@3DJapan That because it's a cover by another guy... Gary Jules.

[@frankie467]

I think he ought to check out the version Curt Smith did with his daughter during quarantine

[@ThelemicMagick]

Tears For Fears' original is the one and only version, I absolutely love it.

[@dalebaker9109]

Tears for fears, were talented lads. Always worth your time.

[@DJFunkygroove]

[@ShyeNYC]

You will definitely love their song "Woman In Chains" featuring songstress Oleta Adams

[@scm021374]

I've been asking for that one for a bit now. Maybe one day.

[@janettem7374]

I saw them live and finally got the meaning of woman in chains and it Made Me Cry

[@lattis8157]

I knew you'd love this one. Sowing The Seeds Of Love next, please.

[@lattis8157]

And please please do Vienna by Ultravox and their other song Dancing With Tears In My Eyes. I really think you'll enjoy them.

[@swan2692]

"I can dream about you" Dan Hartman!!! you won't be sorry! Head over heels is awesome brother!

"Pale Shelter" is another good one from this band.

[@feliciakidd9358]

Yes it is! Love that song and music video☺

[@vicsterhamster]

Its one of my fav

[@xoxxobob61]

"Pale Shelter" was the first TFF song I ever heard & this is before they became famous. I've been a fan since then.

[@dirkkelly7522]

Definitely!

[@nathaliemessier8648]

You have got to hear “Woman in Chains”. !! It’s amazing!!!

[@orelha2064]

UUUUUUUP

[@Shamrockbabe]

ABSOLUTELY. Always give me goosebumps.

[@oldrockgeeser9426]

You want hits check those "Change" "Mad World" " Pale Shelter" "Mothers Talk" "Advice For The Young At Heart" "Badman's Song" "Sowing The Seeds Of Love" "Woman In Chains" "Year Of The Knives" "Break It Down Again".

[@lucijarabrenovic201]

I was overjoyed when the TFF reunited. They are finishing a new album by the end of this year. Their live performances are amazing, they still sound great. Curt Smith and his daughter Diva did a beautiful cover for "Mad world" during the quarantine. Check it out. Also look for Spotify landmark: Tears for fears. Many people comment that they have changed a lot, 35 years have passed, haven't they? They look great, they sound great still.

[@Pulsar77]

Don't forget the fan favorite 'The Working Hour'. Should've been a single.

[@malcolmsoh5648]

I love Badman's Song especially the live version at Knebworth.

[@thomaslim7702]

The whole Seeds of Love album is a TFF masterpiece!

[@mandysmith1756]

All of those are great songs but let's face it Tears for Fears are just brilliant all over.

[@04beni04]

As a graduate student I spent time with the special collections in the library where they filmed this (Emmanuel College). It was around 2002 or thereabouts, so a good 15 or so years after the video came out. I remember looking around, wondering aloud why it seemed oddly familiar, and -- I kid you not -- the librarian who was helping me rolled her eyes _hard_ and half-shouted in exasperation: "That damned monkey! Took us forever to clean up that mess!"

[@nmernst]

I totally forgot this was set in a library - as a librarian, I'm Head Over Heels seeing an actual card catalog :) I believe both the singers of the group contributed to the songwriting and lyrics. Yes, very talented and in 1985, they were a tour de force. Thanks for sharing!

[@cleeboy5048]

I remember taking a field trip to the library in grade school. We learned how to use the card catalog system and how to check out books! We also had a mobile library that would drive around town. It was a big truck with a makeshift library inside! 🤭😁 📖📚

[@sarahjane8146]

As soon as I saw the card catalog I started laughing-imagining the current high school set wondering what on earth THAT was!

[@juliedaly9897]

I worked in a library before computers took over..... Kinda miss the issue system..... Brings back memories. ❤️

[@johnm9845]

I worked in a large reference library years ago with woman who looked like that. I should write a song about that too.

[@nmernst]

@Hillary's emails to Lorne I think many will want to, at times, hold a real book. Other information may never get digitized but much smaller brick and mortar space will be needed in the future for sure.

[@DominionStarcrye]

I heard this song today at work. It takes me back to the first cassette I ever bought. 💗 'Songs From the Big Chair'...Definitely one of the best albums of the 80s!

[@kevinl2578]

Yes sir

[@cathysousa1959]

EDDIE GRANT'S ELECTRIC AVENUE DEE LITE..GROOVE IS IN THE HEART ❤🔥🌺🍍

[@DominionStarcrye]

Don't forget C&C Music Factory Gonna Make You Sweat(Everybody Dance Now)!

[@hekuboshi]

Both excellent songs

[@madisonblackmon6489]

there's a fine line between being catchy or repetitive, and they do a great job of being catchy!

[@evhleppard]

My favorite of theirs.

[@bobshort2149]

"Sowing the Seeds of Love " and "Woman in Chains" are 2 more songs from Tears for Fears you'll really love I think. Great reactions man. Thank you so much!

[@maryclark1049]

TFF is my fave band hands down. SO much talent! Your so right about Rolands voice! It's unmistakable. He got more than his fair share of vocal prowess!

[@PsychoGallagher]

They always lift me up. So many layers to their songs, so versatile, so greatly compositioned! Thanks for listening!

[@emmapeelpants]

Love how much you love TFF. You definitely need to do Pale Shelter and Sowing the Seeds of Love.

[@emmahowells8334]

Yeah their songs were good, they were so popular in the 80's, now you see why too.😎👌

[@mangodebango]

"Change" and "Mad World" by TFF are also good tracks

[@monicamad1285]

I love Change 💖

[@tracyconnor6166]

Change is my favourite song of theirs

[@phatpharm06]

My favorite Tears for Fears song. I feel it when ever the intro starts.

[@gary7920]

Got married in 2005. We had this song blazing out as we walked out in a shower of confetti from the hotel we got married in. We loved the almost church bell like intro at the begining. It looked awesome on our wedding video

[@hayley9807]

That sounds amazing! 👌

[@VanessaDownen]

This song always makes me feel like I'm sinking into a cloud lol

[@fausty150]

Yes, yes. What a tune. I've waiting for you to react to this. Tears for fears tunes are about getting into the music. That's what is all about. Seeds of love next. Top reaction yet again.

[@gness4782]

SHOUT SHOUT LET IT ALL OUT

[@johnvarela794]

Anything from Songs from the Big Chair album were AWESOME 👍🔥💯💥

[@foxmulder8139]

These guys knew how to fill every second of a song with such quality, amazing songwriting and performance.

[@ronnie_gaffney9087]

TFF were definitely top of the pile during the 80's brother! Keep on the TFF journey you will not be disappointed. The 80's in the UK was a great decade for music as was the 90's.

Tears for Fears always has great dynamics in their songs. 🕊🎸🕊

[@priscillachung-hacker5923]

Great 80's band! Brings back memories from my teenage years. They had some really fantastic, catchy songs. "Shout" is probably my favourite.

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

Tears for Fears have a really nice solid sound and the songs have real meaning! Roland and Curt both have amazing voices! I think they were really a underrated band!❤️❤️

[@GanjaGirlSF]

I Love Tears For Fears. Many moons ago, whenever I was feeling down, I would put on their album “The Hurting”, sit in my dark bedroom, and just cry. I always felt so much better afterwards. I find their music deeply, powerfully moving. 💜

[@erinfleet6565]

Never played on radio, but Raul and the Kings of Spain is my favorite deep cuts of TFF!

[@beeseewill2407]

Absolutely wonderful.You can't go wrong with Tears for Fears.Their music does not get old.Could be recorded today, and would fit.

[@stephenriggs8177]

The entire album is a magnificent experience, from beginning to end. This song's even better with "Broken" leading in and out.

[@johnallen869]

Mad World is a great song!

[@hab9609]

Another great song. One of my favorite groups of the 80s. Keep em coming Jayvee

[@secrettravelclub5486]

"Killing Moon" by Echo and the Bunnymen is in this vein of 80's pop rock, but with a more gothic feel. Really great song.

[@chrisbayliss3532]

Secret Travel Club used brilliantly on the Donny Darko soundtrack!

[@mandymcinerney2816]

Would love to see you do some "Little River Band". Songs like "Cool Change", "Emma", "Reminiscing", "Help is on it's way" and "Home On A Monday"

[@pamchilton8129]

Please add 'Happy Anniversary Baby' to that list.

[@bethshadid2087]

Sowing seeds and Mad world are awesome. Tears for Fears what a awesome group 💗

[@nancysmith8626]

Tears for Fears were at the top of their game with this album in the 80s. I think they elevated pop music to an entirely new level at the time. Love it!

[@ono1dij]

I was obsessed with the drums on this song, my gosh, thousands of times i listened this song (all the album is a masterpiece), and every time that drums made me crazy... Some other songs to enjoy from them!!! "The Working Hour", "Mad World", "Pale Shelter", "Mothers Talk", "Memories Fade", "Woman in Chains", "Advice for the Young at Heart", "Sowing the Seeds of Love"... You have a lot to enjoy!!!

[@normantuttle]

On the same album, try "The Working Hour". It was not considered as a hit, but it is one of the most marvelous track I've ever heard in my life. I just discovered your channel, I like the way you discover all the tracks with the same good and positive energy :) Have fun ! :)

[@emcrosenberg]

Dude, you just watched/listened to an all time masterpiece. both visual and audio. This song is so everlasting it outshines a lot of other "greatest hits" of the time that just faded away (*this was not considered a huge hit when released) . You will never get tired of listening to that song as it depicts the human condition , our journey through life , being early clueless to looking back on it all and wondering how it all went by so fast.

[@porflepopnecker4376]

I wish you could've heard the follow-up to this song, "Broken", as it appears on the album. The songs really go together.

[@carlab.1225]

Tears for Fears the Best Band ever!!!!!! And Roland can SING! YES!!!!! ❤ and he writes most of the music - pure talent! Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@JCHB322]

This was one of my favorite videos of theirs because of the humor in it... Roland's crush on the librarian, the cards flying out of the card catalog (a la "Ghostbusters"), The "Bang?" gun, Roland looking confused as the floats up to the 2nd floor of the library (followed by that "Oh, yeah! I'm singing a song here!"), Ian Stanley finally catching the book on take three, Curt kissing the chimp... all of it made for such a fun video to go with a fabulous song! Side note: Roland was also trained in classical opera in his youth, which is why his vocals can range all over... from low to super high. I have a French Tears for Fears interview from 1993 (when it was just Roland as TFF) on my channel here on YT... and at the 15:04 mark of that video, you can hear Roland warming up with some operatic vocals! It is amazing!
