That operatic voice was none other than lead singer Roland Orzabal. His range is unreal, the man is freaking brilliant!

He is like a baritenor.

[@usfanlovesjiwoo1978]

Curt also has a great and beautiful voice, but Roland's is not only great but he has so much range in his voice, and he can turn his style of singing on a dime. Love these guys.

[@ElfinMadness]

He sings opera too.

It's definitely an homage to the Beatles... especially the Sgt. Pepper era. There's full orchestration on this tune, and you're right, they throw everything in it and more. Great song.

Roland Orzabal considered this Tears for Fears most political song at the time, having written it after British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and the Conservative Party won a third term. The lyrics even reference it.

[@BamSalute]

The idea was a tribute to The Beatles psychedelic period, hence all the dream-like sequences in the layering of the instrumentation BUT the genius of this track is how it all knits together so perfectly. Roland is a visionary writer and also has one of THE best male voices out there. I still pray for another album.....

Supposedly it's in the works...but they are taking their sweet time about it for sure.

Lyrics: [Verse 1: Roland Orzabal] High time we made a stand And shook up the views of the common man And the love train rides from coast to coast D.J.'s the man we love the most Could you be, could you be squeaky clean And smash any hope of democracy? As the headline says you're free to choose There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes One of these days they're gonna call it the blues, yeah, yeah [Chorus 1: Curt Smith & Roland Orzabal] Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love Anything is possible when you're sowing the seeds of love Sowing the seeds Sowing the seeds of love Anything is possible Seeds of love Sowing the seeds of love Sowing the seeds [Verse 2: Roland Orzabal] I spy tears in their eyes They look to the skies for some kind of divine intervention Food goes to waste So nice to eat, so nice to taste Politician granny with your high ideals Have you no idea how the majority feels? So without love and a promised land We're fools to the rules of a government plan Kick out the style, bring back the jam [Chorus 2: Curt Smith & Roland Orzabal] Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love Anything Sowing the seeds of love Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love Sowing the seeds [Post-Chorus 1: Roland Orzabal] Sowing the seeds The birds and the bees My girlfriend and me In love [Interlude] [Bridge 1: Roland Orzabal] Feel the pain, talk about it If you're a worried man, then shout about it Open hearts, feel about it Open minds, think about it Everyone, read about it Everyone, scream about it Everyone Everyone, yeah, yeah Everyone read about it, read about it Everyone Read it in the books, in the crannies and the nooks, there are books to read for us [Chorus 3: Roland Orzabal] Sowing the seeds of love Sowing the seeds of love We're sowing the seeds Sowing the seeds Sowing the seeds of love We're sowing the seeds Sowing the seeds of love Sowing the seeds of love Mr. England sowing the seeds of love [Bridge 2: Curt Smith, Curt Smith & Roland Orzabal] Time to eat all your words Swallow your pride Open your eyes Time to eat all your words Swallow your pride Open your eyes [Verse 3: Roland Orzabal, Curt Smith] High time we made a stand Time to eat all your words And shook up the views of the common man Swallow your pride And the love train rides from coast to coast Open your eyes Every minute of every hour I love a sunflower Open your eyes And I believe in love power Open your eyes Love power Love power Open your eyes [Chorus 4: Curt Smith & Roland Orzabal] Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love Sowing the seeds Sowing the seeds of love, the seeds of love Sowing the seeds Sowing the seeds Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love Sowing the seeds of love, sowing the seeds Sowing the seeds [Post-Chorus 2: Roland Orzabal] An end to need And the politics of greed With love [Chorus 5: Curt Smith & Roland Orzabal] Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love Sowing the seeds of love Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love Anything, anything Sowing the seeds Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love Sowing the seeds [Post-Chorus 2: Roland Orzabal] An end to need And the politics of greed With love [Chorus 6: Curt Smith & Roland Orzabal] Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love Sowing the seeds of love Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love Sowing the seeds of love Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love Sowing the seeds of love

[@Pulsar77]

One of my favorite songs of the 80s, it's incredibly complex, with lots of transitions, but so catchy. And a clear tribute to the Beatles (you can hear hints of 'I Am The Walrus' and 'All You Need Is Love'). Check out The Working Hour, Woman In Chains, Head Over Heals, Change, Break It Down Again, Laid So Low, Mothers Talk,...

[@RayRay-zt7bj]

YES! Hints of I Am The Walrus is the first hint that I noticed. There is another hint of a non-Beatles song that I can't quite pick out. I am barely halfway through, so I didn't hear the hints of All You Need Is Love yet. I am starting to hear it now. Wow. This is a cool song!

[@majorlybad]

Roland has said before that he took the chords for I Am The Walrus, transposed them to a Major and this is the result 🙂

I was just waiting for the clapping section and LOL'd when you started to clap along. Man, it's irresistible. Once was watching them on tv, playing this song live at the last Rock in Rio. When it came to that part, I found myself w/hands to the air, clapping along and singing, while sitting on the couch. Just think this is one of the best songs ever, period.

Woman in Chains will blow your mind

[@farrken]

This song is like a blending of Beatles songs. The trumpet always reminded me of Penny Lane. You can hear elements of Lucy in the sky with diamonds, I am the walrus, and a bunch of other stuff.

[@suzannelemieux3357]

This album saw me through a really bad time. Got my mind clearer. "Woman in Chains" should be next. It features the wonderful Oleta Adams. It's very soulful, very powerful. I know you'd love it!

Speaking of Oleta Adams, Jayvee should react to her hit “Get Here”. Such a beautiful song.

Very layered and symphonic. Solid drum work, guitars, multi bass, horn sections, string orchestration, synths, multiple harmonies (including an operatic female), counter harmonies, and rock organ/Leslie speaker. Also has an unusual song structure with many bridges and hooks and a great slight return in the outro. Great timeless message and sweet homage to the Beatles.

This was several years after "Shout" etc, and has a different sound, not so "New Wave", more accessible commercially maybe, but no less brilliant. It has a different sound certainly from the earlier stuff. Checkout "Woman in Chains", from the same CD, it's a phenomenal tune :)

[@emmejayeh.5995]

When Roland sings "Kick out The Style, bring back The Jam", he's referring to two bands led by the same man. The Jam was a 70s-early 80s punk/new wave band, and The Style Council was an 80s neo-soul band, both led by English musician Paul Weller (he's now a solo artist). I think both The Jam and The Style Council had great songs, but I guess Roland liked The Jam better.

Until I read the comments , I thought I was the only one who heard layers and layers of sound and instruments equal to Beatles music from Sgt peppers songs.An A+ song on my list of songs.

Next Tears for fears song :"Break it down again " and "woman in chains"

[@sebastiansmith8318]

You must do "Woman in Chains" too, Jay!

Roland Orzabal and Oleta Adams, just wow! What a great song! Phil Collins plays the drums on the studio recording.

Tears for fears were so unique and had a singular sound. Amazing group still timeless.

You have the same reaction I had back in 1989, when I was 14 years old! Then I realized that millions of people loved that song too and made it a no. 1 here, there and everywhere! Congrats, love ur channel!

[@efuayankson3216]

please check out "mothers talk", "advice for the young at heart", "pale shelter", "change" and "woman in chains" also don't forget "Yah Mo B There" by James Ingram and Milli Vanilli "Girl you know it's true"

TFF is the best! Anything you choose to play will be great.

So many good bands from those days. I also used to listen to Talk Talk for example their song It's my life.

[@lanapiercy2370]

I just always loved this song, never realised how complex it is till now, seeing it through your eyes JV. It is definately a feel good song.

[@robertakline9785]

that was so much fun I'm going to do it again.

Trumpets, French horns, violins, saxophones, organ, guitars, basses, drums,......

[@AA-pp7kz]

It's one of those songs that's catchy but if you look it intricately its very complex.
