Tears For Fears - Shout | REVIEW

[@Hamlet2085]

Nobody is talking about the drummer. he is fucking amazing!!!

[@LiLiJo]

I miss the awesomeness of the 80’s and MTV. Back in the day it was 24 hours of music videos and every great song had a great video to watch.

[@ronsadler6047]

Concur. MTV is total commercial crap now. That’s why I love KZbin channels like this!

[@nostrathomas2437]

Songs from the Big Chair is a masterpiece!

[@adam872]

Total banger this song. The guitar playing, the multi layered arrangement, the singing, the production - the track has it all.

[@hibhibb5429]

"Mad world" and "Sowing the seeds of love" are Awesome songs to check out!!! Roland is such an incredible guitarist. Tears For Fears are so underrated and they're Timeless!!

[@Cheshirecat-nx9zn]

I totally agree on both songs.

[@ONEG95-k9y]

Pale shelter is underrated

[@SandsDolphin]

Woman in Chains.

[@savage_skirt5386]

problem is/was that there sound was so similar to depeche mode

[@karamcmullen9706]

Such an underrated band. Their layers and changes are the best. I saw them in 2022 and live they are fantastic!

[@nevets4ever4]

When Shout was released - it was profound. Nothing else like it back then. It was played mainly on alternative & college radio stations, "discovered" late by the mainstream. Most of my peers back then were listening to heavy metal, glam rock, Top 40 and disco (yikes). For me - it was TFF, Depeche Mode, Simple Minds, Joy Division, Echo & The Bunnymen, Psychedelic Furs, U2, The Smiths, OMD, The Cure, The Stranglers - just a few of the bands that kept us going - musically and emotionally. Still does.

This place is Durdle Door in Dorset, England. A part of Lulworth Cove and a beautiful part of Southern England. I used to live about twenty minutes from here.

[@sharonjohnson4636]

I was 25 years old when this song was so huge. It was absolutely exhilarating! The whole album! They really "ruled the world" then and their songs haven't gotten old in any way since then!

[@adrianwhelan]

The video was filmed at a place called Durdle Door which is in Dorset, a county on the south coast of England. It's an amazing bit of coastline around there.

[@TheCornishCockney]

We have an amazing coastline around our entire island. I'm in Cornwall and the north coast is legendary (literally) for a reason.

[@jerrycote659]

Is that close to where “Broadchurch” was filmed? I seem to recall reading the filming location for that series was in Dorset. There were stunning cliffs in that series.

[@jazzosazzo4279]

I live here!!

[@bravesoul5743]

thats a beautiful coastline

[@vinniemoran7362]

These guys don't have a so-so album. They evolved over time but always remained creative and interesting. Their later album "Raoul And The Kings Of Spain" is a work of art. The melodies, the instrumentation, the production are all gorgeous. Every song is a gem.

[@ohfour-seven6228]

Well said, I absolutely love Raoul, it's magnificent!

The sounds you mentioned came from a Fairlight CMI synthesizer. Very expensive hardware those days.

[@robertwalker1803]

The story behind this song is great.In the 80’s the world,especially England where Tears for Fears was starting out, was afraid Ronald Reagan was going to start a nuclear war. The singer Roland O. was humming the main verse in his head in the shower.He took this to Kurt Smith,but they did not want to finish it out,but were talked into it….luckily.

[@yaseenbradley9829]

You’ll find it was everybody wants to rule the world they didn’t care for much. Shout was Roland’s love if Roland had his way at the time Everybody wants to rule the world would never been released except Chris Hughes pushed it.

[@brianh9358]

They are still performing, and came out with an new album named "The Tipping Point" in 2021. The title song from the album is quite good. Also the song "My Demons".

[@sarastromseth-troy3323]

Roland Orzabal is a very underrated guitar player. Here's a deep cut for you. It's 'The Working Hour' from the 'Big Chair' album and they say it's their most-requested fan favorite when they tour. This particular live performance is from 2014. It's the song that first got me interested in exploring their music beyond the hits. They still tour today, and have a new album complete (no release date announced yet): kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWbCeY2KbNabhpI

[@sarahyoung583]

The Working Hour is one of the very best. That song is such a journey.

[@raulmartinezquiroz7386]

As I listened to this song in 1985, being a kid in that year, I really loved it a lot until today. It is one of my favorite song of the legendary 80s. Good review of Shout, guys.

[@missyford1596]

I got to see these guys (with Hall & Oates) and they made me feel 14 years old again like I was when this album came out. Loved these guys! Nice review 🙂

[@tradeladder146]

This was Filmed in Dorset, England, a very famous Landmark. 👍

[@eileensquirrely9880]

Great review! From the song's wiki page - It features footage of Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith at Durdle Door in Dorset, England, as well as at a studio performance with the full band (including Ian Stanley and Manny Elias) performing the song amidst a crowd of family and friends. The video reportedly cost only £14,000 to produce.

[@michaelhyde9070]

The songs from the 80s never get old ❤

[@fawnebrown4619]

Love this video! Have heard the song a hundred times or more, but never saw the video. It was like Tears for Fears sprung up out of nowhere one day and then it was like they should have been there all the time. Instantly likeable and you could listen to them over and over and not get tired of hearing their songs. Their sound was unique and distinctively them.

[@anjajacobsen9739]

U take me back to my Teen years in the 80's. This was one of my favorite bands and songs in the 80's... I also like: Genesis, Madonna, Elton John, Michael Jackson etc.

🦋 I think I still have this MTV video on an Old VCR Tape from my youth. Hidden Away somewhere. What a memory during the time this song was released.

The ocean scene with the big rock was shot at Durdle Door In Dorset England. My nearest beach. Amazing scenery round there and towards the end of the vid are all the bands family and friends.

[@equipage72]

I love watching young people discover TFF. The "layering" and songwriting is vastly underrated. For amazing layering, check out "Woman in Chains" with the incomparable Oleta Adams. I'll bet you can handle it... 😉 Carry on boys, they have so much more! 👏

[@ohfour-seven6228]

Great review y'all. Tears for Fears are one of my very favorite bands, they are incredible. Their production and engineering rivals Steely Dan, and that's the ultimate compliment. A must hear cut is the stunning Woman in Chains. It's spectacular. Their album Elemental has the great title cut, Elemental, as well as Break it Down Again, Mr. Pessimist, and my favorite, Goodnight Song. Raoul and the Kings of Spain album, as noted below, is breathtaking. The title cut is a must hear as well as Secrets and God's Mistake. And of course, Sowing the Seeds of Love is their tribute to The Beatles and is as much of a must-see video as a must hear delight. More please!

[@jerrycote659]

“Head Over Heels” off the same album (Songs From The Big Chair) should definitely be your next Tears For Fears reaction video and if you can also react with the official video without getting blocked that would be even better. My personal favorite track from the epic “Songs From The Big Chair” album

[@gailjohnson5950]

I have heard this song for years..and apparently never heard the entire recording. Just WOW!. I love it more now than ever. Also enjoyed the part of the video where the kids joined in.

[@nicholaspowell7949]

Roland is a Very underated guitar player.

[@carmenwise2256]

Amazzzing guitar solo. Unreal talent. Sooo underrated.😊

[@donkraemer50]

One of the most underrated guitar solos. Probably because there is so much complexity in this song and the whole arrangement is epic

[@pinkierural]

it looks like its filmed around the channel: either Etretat (Normandy, France) or Dover (U.K) because of the wind eroded white cliffs .

[@rd456]

When you said he look like one of the singers I was cracking up because that’s was the first thought that popped in my head before you said anything! Hahaha

[@MarcBurkepile]

This was my favorite group in the 80's.

[@eamonconnelly8029]

I agree, the Songs From The Big Chair era would be the higher heights of TFF. Shout was a unique and different sounding song when it was released, mainly with the synth sound. Roland Orzabal's guitar playing in the song, especially his solo is absolutely one of the most anthemic and awesome solo's ever. The bass line during the bridge as well so distinct and yet simple. Another fantastic song from this album is Head Over Heels. Other songs to check out would be from their debut album, The Hurting: Change, Pale Shelter and Mad World.

[@michaelbiggs7861]

Songs From The Big Chair is a great album, but they followed it with an even better album called The Seeds Of Love, check out the songs Sowing The Seeds Of Love, Woman In Chains and Advice For The Young At Heart all from the Seeds album, or jump right up to the present time and check out tracks from their new album The Tipping Point, the title track is great, but so are Rivers Of Mercy, End Of Night, My Demons, and my personal favourite, Long Long Long Time.

This song was produced by Phil Collins. Phil also played drums on this track

[@acooksla]

They both aged so well, they are ten times better looking now.

[@RandomJane104]

My comment disappeared. 😕 Maybe because I posted a link to a fairly live version of "The Working Hour"? You should check out "The Working Hour" from this album. It's a fan favorite and has a fantastic sax intro. I've been in love with this band since they came out and the layering has a lot to do with it. I agree that it should be listened to with headphones.

[@lisafayepranger8561]

Thoroughly fantastic album. In sequence. Also loved The Seeds of Love, etc....one of my fave songs by them is Famous Last Words. If you haven't listened to it, or Woman in Chains, DO.

[@sarahyoung583]

As for a Tears for Fears "deep cut" perhaps you can do "Brian Wilson Said" off the album Elemental. Curt Smith was not on this album; it was just Roland and his back up band then (with production and songwriting collaboration by Alan Griffith). The album is under-rated, but it has some sublime songs. "Brian Wilson Said" is glorious, glorious!!!! Roland's best guitar work. Beautiful song.

[@robynmurray7421]

I think you should do an Australian music week. Since you like sax and the 80s, you might start with Outta Mind Outta Sight by The Models or anything by INXS. Since you have decades of music from a whole other country to catch up on, will let other commenters make suggestions.

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

You might know Tears for Fears' song "Mad World" from their first album "The Hurting." It is hauntingly beautiful. ... If you like Tears for Fears, you might also like the Scottish band Simple Minds from the 1980s, who had a No. 1 hit with "Don't You Forget About Me" (from the teen comedy-drama film "The Breakfast Club") and a No. 3 hit "Alive and Kicking," also shot at a cool outdoors location, with a cliff and waterfall. ... I was in high school and college back then and couldn't get enough of the Second British Invasion new wave and synth rock bands of the 1980s! :-)

[@claygirlcan]

I miss how anthemic many songs in the 80s were... and just amazing songwriting! This was an era long gone. (If you haven't listened, try "Woman In Chains" with Oleta Adams - Roland's vocals plus Oleta's range just hits, and of course the meaning of the song itself. :)
