Wow! These guys don't pick up a bat for years, walk up to the plate & knock the cover off the ball on the first pitch. Amazing!

[@carlab.1225]

YES!!!

[@elijahcambry3319]

they spent 7 years writing and recording this album. they threw out over 30 songs to find the perfect 10

[@WillFromEarth]

They have been batting plenty, they were on tour just prior to the pandemic. I saw them in Dallas with Hall & Oates in front of 20,000 in 2017 and they were incredible live!

[@kevinl2578]

Tears For Fears are undoubtedly one of thee GREATEST bands of all time how do you come back after 17 years of not making a record and then 40 years after they first met and make an album this good? They deserve to be in the rock and roll hall of fame already and there showing other artist when they perform live there really singing and playing and instrument at the same time! I'm glad there getting the recognition they deserve!!!

[@tikneshiabeauford7289]

I couldn't agree more. They're brilliant, iconic and legendary. They're extremely relevant and critical to the music tapestry that we have experienced for over 40 years. They're as important and necessary as oxygen.

[@mikerobertson2402]

They wrote this for Roland's wife that died a few years ago. Amazing! Glad to see them back!!

[@keep_walking_on_grass]

thx for the info. I don't really understand the lyrics. WHO knows that he can't love WHO more?

[@GIGI-lp1gc]

​@@keep_walking_on_grassThe song was written by Tears for Fears founder member Roland Orzabal with long-term collaborator Charlton Pettus, and was inspired by Orzabal's struggles with grief and the loss of a loved one (Caroline, Orzabal's wife of 35 years, died in 2017).[1] In an interview with Rolling Stone, Orzabal stated that "The song itself was built out of a 'haunting backing track idea' created by the band's co-producer and longtime touring member Charlton Pettus. "He blended a couple of trademark themes, twisted the time signature and left me to sort out the rest." Regarding the lyrics, he commented "It came at a time when my (late) wife was very ill. I was watching her become a ghost of her former self. So the song's narrator is in a hospital ward looking at people about to cross the threshold that we call death....The line in the song says, ‘Will you ever know when it's the Tipping Point?' meaning, will you ever know when a person has crossed that threshold from life to death when you cannot even perceive that 'vague and distant void' as it's described in the lyric. I have to admit that even in March 2016 when I was read the riot act by doctors about Caroline possibly not making it through the weekend, I was still in denial. I think that when you've been close to someone for decades, they are living within you as well as without. And consciously I did not believe she would die, though subconsciously I was, without doubt, preparing for the inevitable, arming myself against the future shock."[3]

[@MichelLinschoten]

Actually many of the songs on the album were in spirit of his late wife

[@bradcarlson9411]

Yeah she struggled with alcohol addiction unfortunately

[@mk6945]

The fact that they still have such quality vocals is truly amazing. One of the most talented musicians- bands out there. So glad they made the choice to come back. The world is better for them being here. Have enriched so many lives with their music.

[@JORDAN23TV]

We are truly lucky to have such a Legendary band return and give us a new album 🥺 one of the rare good things that's happened this year

[@judithtaylor716]

Tipping Point is incredible. There is nothing nonsense or filler about their music. In 80s I played TFF until I worn out the albums... now at 63 they give me the songs that touch deep into the spiritual or soul reflecting of having lived 3 more decades. I can only hope that younger people go back and listen to The Hurting and Songs from the Big Chair and Seeds of Love. I feel so blessed to have been alive while these guys were writing their songs. These songs are inspiration for my fictional writing.

[@jayteejayteeman719]

I can honestly play this album from start to finish over and over. What a well crafted masterpiece. How lucky to have Tears for Fears during our life time to enjoy.

[@chrissingleton8409]

Tears For Fears is still making and performing music at the highest level....Legends

[@tinysteelorchestra]

The whole album is out of the park. Might be my favourite thing they've ever done. How can you not make an album for that long and come back with something that good?

[@davidwolfhudson]

This song sounds so fresh, so new, yet unmistakably a Tears For Fears song. Incredibly good!

[@xtstevie]

Stunning comeback by one of the finest Brittish bands ever.... The vocals here are just astonishing with a perfect backing!

[@anomalees]

there's a definite mourning to this sound like raindrops being chased by a winter wind.

[@AlexW14]

Honestly the composition of this track is insane and is another stunning example on this album of why TFF are one of the greatest two piece bands of all time. Hall of Fame credentials will be coming - it’s overdue!

[@peterulrich497]

This was a great band in the first place, the fact many years later they still sound as good or better now is great. It gives younger people a chance to experience what good music sounds like.

[@johnny2bagz]

I was born in 80 and I grew up listening to these guys mostly on the radio and on MTV (When they actually played music, back when the overton window moved a bit slower than it does today) and IMHO they sound just as good today as they did back then. They were deep in the pocket for this whole performance/set and sounded better than I could have imagined. Incredible performance!

[@krismurphy7711]

I LOVE THAT LONG TERM BANDS CAN MAKE NEW MUSIC!! This is one of their best.....AND if you have suffered a loss, like Roland, or Myself,.THIS SONG HITS SO CLOSE TO THE HEART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kaicanyonellis]

Totally agree. I've been with the band through every era and every album. I even love Raoul and the Kings of Spain. But this album is truly next level. Proof that just because a band gets older doesn't mean their music can't stay fresh and inspired.

Needed this today. So many ppl and things have left my life, past two years. Here i am alone. This song is about death, but about loss in general . Love you Tff, since 85.

[@briantanakatsubo9420]

I was introduced to TFF from my late Dad when I was a toddler, as I was raised on pure 80s music naturally hating today's music. I was fortunate to see TFF in concert in Wisconsin with Hall and Oates, and absolutely unforgettable experience. To see them come back and create art like this is both breathtaking and emotional. This is the reason TFF is and will always be my favorite band.

[@cindytyrrell8255]

I know. This is awesome

There is no way I could possibly love these guys more than I do. Thrilled to have new music from them after all these years, and that they're still great. One of the most underestimated bands ever. I'm almost a decade older than these boys, so I've seen so much music come and go, and just very happy to hear their thoughts once again...

[@whatevergoesforme5129]

Not really underestimated. If you are older than they are and I am an old GenXer who witnessed their peak, then you must be aware that they were so huge back then and were critically acclaimed. Never underrated, never underestimated. The only issue was the falling apart that made TFF with only Roland less appreciated but still receiving good reviews.

[@equipage72]

@@whatevergoesforme5129 you have your opinion and I have mine. Neither definitive, but a matter of personal perspective. Not looking for "direction" on how I must perceive.

[@whatevergoesforme5129]

@@equipage72 Actually, it is not an opinion. Tears for Fears is not underestimated if you know their record sales and critically acclaimed albums. Maybe you prefer a different genre if you are a decade older so maybe you underestimated them before (just making a guess and I can be wrong about this opinion of what you think). Maybe you are into heavy metal before but of course, I may be wrong about your choice of music. Or maybe you were not a fan before and again I may be wrong and you were a fan of theirs. I was their fan and still their fan. TFF fans know that TFF is never underestimated as a band. But if you think it is just an opinion of a TFF fan and not based on the history of TFF, then that is your opinion. I am not giving you any direction. Think what you like but I have to disagree when people keep saying that TFF is underrated or underestimated when they have sold a lot of records and their songs were critically acclaimed even though snobs of rock and roll hall of fame don't want to recognized them because of their personal preference like how they look down on the Carpenters.

[@ronj5714]

Listened to this song 5x on repeat. The beginning of this song is so complex, @ :20 music sounds as if it's fighting itself, and we haven't even got to the lyrics yet. Silver tongue reference comes in & you know where he's heading. His pleads, sounding as if he knows his internal struggles from his past constantly haunt him. Understanding he is screaming there is an invisible line that just can't be crossed, yet she always does. Great song coming from a point of past pain that causes internal fighting within himself and with the one he loves. Well done.
