[@ImplicitSanctuaryASMR]

Don't worry.. I've been listening to Shout for almost 40 years, and it will NEVER get old for you...😊

[@cflournoy1529]

Never!!

[@DennisTHugo]

So true!

[@PaladinesAngel]

FACTs!! This one and Everybody wants to rule the world. 💃🕺💃🕺

[@Problembeing]

Same! 🙌

[@StormyDay]

Same for me for Head Over Heels. I never get tired of it. I used to play it over and over.

[@RumRaspberryMocha]

Their first two albums “The Hurting” and “Songs From The Big Chair” are straight up masterpieces 🔥🔥🔥

[@lumariadp]

I've always loved their version of Mad World best. Not because it was the original, but because to me it's the most 'mad' sounding...the instruments are all going full tilt and it's a very packed, mad song. Sowing the Seeds of Love is my favorite song by them. I've played it for so many people and I always say 'if you don't like something about this song, wait 15 seconds and there'll be something else.' It's _so much song_ packed into one tune.

[@MP-kv3fo]

This is indeed a great version. I do love the musical break!

[@moriconvallaria1279]

I feel similarly about Mad World. The covers are too one-note for me, and don't represent the full range of the song's ideas and feeling. While I do love Sewing the Seeds of Love, Working Hour is my personal favorite.

[@jaycordner3890]

Shout will go down as one the most iconic songs ever... so many covers and it stands the test of time.

[@Problembeing]

Tears for Fears were consistently amazing songwriters. Grew up with their music and they still sound as great now as they did then.

[@SarahJigglypuff]

Shout is a fine, fine song. Every time you think it can't possibly get better, it does!

[@todddepue681]

Love TFF (especially Curt who I always thought was sooo cute! LOL) But yeah, I was an 80s teenager, so really cool to see these songs that felt so timely then, prove themselves to be timeless.

[@cflournoy1529]

I was in my Freshman year at college and you always heard this song blasting in the dorms.❤️

[@BRIDINC1972]

80s teenager here as well,TFF was always one of my favs. Great choice of songs.😍

[@markpalmer8083]

He was.

[@clarakirkendoll6061]

Todd DePue you're not alone when it comes to Curt. He was so beautiful, such a cutie.

[@lilamuzik3385]

The mark of a really good song like Mad World IS that everyone can hear something different and make something new out it.

[@jerolddavis]

That's what I love so much about the original and why the Gary Jules version just never quite hooked me. It's missing the emotional dissonance that gives Mad World so much of its depth and complexity.

[@RandomJane104]

What's great about them is they have so many different sounds. They also still sound amazing live. Their new album "The Tipping Point" is great too. "The Working Hour", "Woman in Chains", "Pale Shelter".

[@annother3350]

Yes, I bought the new album to support them

[@nickavenoso7851]

I saw them on the Tipping Point tour at Jones Beach Theater, NY and I can say that they’ve still got it.

[@StormyDay]

@@nickavenoso7851 I did too! They were fabulous! Last show of the US Tour! What a gorgeous night it was!

[@nickavenoso7851]

@@StormyDay Yes definitely! Highlight of the show was “Sowing The Seeds Of Love” for me. Roland has still got that voice that sends chills down my spine.

[@bigneon_glitter]

"Sowing The Seeds Of Love" is the greatest song Lennon/McCartney never wrote. Good picks. 1988-1989 was known as the "2nd Summer Of Love", when '60s "peace & love" came back in fashion in response to a decade of Reaganism - the "Seeds" video was very much a snapshot of that sentiment & is essential viewing for the track. "Everybody Rules The World" was pretty much the anthem of 1985. That video is what 1985 felt like, in spirit.

[@lightningstrikes7314]

Just a brief pause before Bush bombed the Middle East and Clinton Yugoslavia

[@woodchucknation]

The song of the 80’s

[@Problembeing]

‘Sewing the Seeds of Love’ a real Beatles-esque anthem. Love it as much now as I ever did. They were really going somewhere with this and were on top of their game as one of the biggest bands in the world, unfortunately it marked the end (for a long while.)

[@marksilverman4537]

You can't review these guys without listening to Woman In Chains. Vocals by Oleta Adams are amazing.

[@janosfernandez945]

TFF are so good ! Even after after their breakup, Roland kept putting out great songs. " Raoul and the Kings of Spain " is a disregarded masterpiece in my opinion and their reunion on " Everybody Loves a Happy Ending " was AWESOME ! Simple Minds is anotherunderrated band I love which went under the radar for 15 years but kept on plowing and made it again !

[@normandavidtidiman9918]

That "organ sound again" was Ian Stanley's last contribution to TFF after co-writing a lot of the second album.

[@SteventheShoehanger]

One of the best vocal duos of all time.

[@lilamuzik3385]

The multilayered music is just delightful. And considering the times we live in, so apropos. Everyone wants to rule the world...

[@k1hasard]

"Working Hour" and "Woman In Chains" are good choices for your part two.

[@kayelle8005]

Woman in chains is a masterpiece

[@eloisasarti3407]

Head over heels as well :)

[@k1hasard]

Absolutely!

[@alistairmcdougall8390]

Spot on with the Beatles reference as regards to Sowing the seeds of love ,I get that feeling everything I listen to it

[@FrintonDeano]

You picked some real gems there from TFF. Such a timeless group whose music sounds as fresh today as it did when it first came out. I did get to see them live at Wembley Arena in the late 80's and they were just as good as their videos you've just watched. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us all. God bless 🙏

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@feliciakidd9358]

I love Tears For Fears. I was a teen in the 80's.

[@jackie_jrml]

Sowing the Seeds of Love. Masterpiece. Phenomenal. Love all the instruments and their voices!! This and Head Over Heels are my favorites of theirs.

[@MP-kv3fo]

Yes yes these two!!

[@SunShine-qk4rb]

Such a fantastic band. Love the first 3 songs but Mad Mad world is my current favourite

[@kayelle8005]

The Style Council needs to be on your list if you haven’t already covered them. Big boss groove, long hot summer, life at a top people’s health farm, shout to the top, how she threw it all away, my ever changing moods, walls come tumbling down. There’s so many more. The line is Sowing the seeds of love: kick out the Style bring back The Jam is a reference to The Style Council and Paul Weller’s more political former band The Jam.

[@michaelakkerman407]

Four songs for your part two of the TFF... 1. Woman in Chains 2. Secret World 3. Break it Down 4. Closest Thing to Heaven Bonus song: The Devil

[@chevelle6268]

TFF is simply amazing. These ‘old’ songs are absolutely timeless. As good as the first time even 40 years later. Roland is a genius!

[@chrislc35]

4 amazing songs, love them. both guys have great voices. they have a new album out, new songs too 😃

[@alydematti]

As a big fan of Tears For Fears I have SO MANY song recommendations for you. Pale Shelter, Woman In Chains, Bad Man's Song, Advice For The Young At Heart, Break It Down Again, Goodnight Song, Secrets, Closest Thing To Heaven, Secret World, and Last Days On Earth. Then from their latest album I would recommend Break The Man, My Demons, and End Of Night. ❤

[@TroysPop]

I knew you were going to love "Shout." It's my favorite Tears For Fear track by a mile. 1980's anthem.

[@sporkfindus4777]

OK, I've now added to my bucket list: playing a Stratocaster on top of Durdle Door in Dorset like Roland Orzabal in the Shout video. What a fantastic duo. They skyrocketed to the top with their Songs from the Big Chair album. So creative and atmospheric. A hallmark of their songs is that they'll skip the last word or two of the chorus and instead jump straight into the verse early. They also made some gorgeous, less well-known jazz-style songs. Tears for Fears are definitely Beatles disciples. These reactions are superb. Whole songs and videos, intelligent, eloquent and perceptive comments on both the music and the lyrics. A real joy to watch. Can I suggest you react to some songs by Talk Talk and Simple Minds?

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you so much, and absolutely! 😊

[@janosfernandez945]

"Shout" is a classic for a reason ! Angst, instrumentation and lyrics are just ON POINT !

[@adamberggrun8426]

WHEN U HEAR SHOUT LIVE, THE WHOLE CROWD IS ALWAYS SINGING. GREAT LIVE BAND. THEY OPENED FOR HALL AND OATES IN 2017, UNBELIEVABLE CONCERT, CLEVELAND ROCKS!!

[@barbaradias9154]

I love your reactions🥰 Tears For Fears is one of my favorite bands, listen the song ''Pale Shelter''

[@metaluna72]

Excellent choice, especially with my favourite, Mad World. But there is another gem from them.. Woman in chains with Oleta Adams. Try this, you won´t regret it.

[@upfrontbear74]

Great choices, you need to do in other videos, Standing on the Corner of the Third World, Badman's Song (Live), Advice for the Young at Heart & Woman in Chains (featuring Oleta Adams)

[@kayelle8005]

Yes ☝️

[@upfrontbear74]

The Seeds Of Love is an amazing album

[@itsWatty]

I was never a huge fan of Tears For Fears when I was young, but listening to them now I really don't know why that was! Brilliant songs with amazing production and vocals.

[@norwegianblue2017]

Same here. I always kind of liked them, but was more into metal back in the 80s. Now in my 50s I've really grown to appreciate them. Just saw them live recently in San Diego. Amazing performance!

[@marlew6629]

Criminally underrated guitarist.

[@raeann63]

best way to enjoy "everybody wants to rule the world" is exemplified by singer curt smith in this video, top down on the long road with nowhere in particular to go, radio blasting LOUD. i've driven a similar stretch of so. cal's freeways and it always takes me back 😊

[@LunaJo67WDHTMJ]

I'm obsessed with their song Woman in Chains with Oleta Adams... LJ

[@jonpevehouse]

The TFF rabbit hole is quite deep. Even the later albums, Everybody Loves a Happy Ending (which is very Beatlesesque), and the new one, The Tipping Point, are fabulous sonically. I saw them live 3 times and they are excellent musicians.

[@coachtomas]

I just love Tears for Fears. I can't accurately put into words how much I adore them. So yes... very happy you reacted to some of the finest work ! ❤❤

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thanks for watching! ❤️❤️

[@robyntalucci162]

Instrumental geniuses. So much for the ears but yet you hear all of it and it's a celebration of music.

[@jerolddavis]

I was so excited when I saw you were doing 'Mad World's on this! It has been one of my favorite pieces ever since I discovered it was TFF's original song. The emotional layers, the dissonance in both the chords and the emotional content really makes it something far beyond what it has become.

[@julielazenby4160]

Tears for Fears was 1 of 3 cassettes I bought with my own money way back in the day... the other 2 were Wham and Starship... I'll just age myself

[@mariflame1821]

Just saw Tears for Fears in concert and they were awesome!!! Their new album The Tipping Point is great. TFF songs you must listen next: Woman in Chain, Pale Shelter, Advice for the Young at Heart. From the new album: The Tipping Point, My Demons, No Small Thing

[@stevetokeley6542]

Shout.Shout therapy is what both lead singers went through to deal with the traumas of their past.

[@Pulsar77]

For part two, you can pick from these songs: - The Working Hour (my favorite TFF song, but it doesn't have a music video) - Woman In Chains - Change - Break It Down Again - Laid So Low (Tears Roll Down) - Mothers Talk

[@hahatoldyouso]

Michael Jackson sampled bassline for 'Every Wants to Rule the World' for 'The Way You Make Me Feel'!

[@midianmtd]

When you get a chance, check out their new album ''The Tipping Point'' that came out in February. It's extraordinary.

[@kitgautier1658]

I legit think "Shout" is one of the greatest songs of all time, and I'm an old old man. 😀

[@gentillygirl545]

The entire album, "The Hurting," in continuity, changed my young life. It was groundbreaking, heartfelt, and spoke to a young generation who realized the world was changing in a negative way.

[@Barzo7]

AMAZING BAND !!! TFF are in my top 10 favourite groups / artists of all time and i listen to tones of music lol. My TFF favourite album is The Hurting and i love the song Pale Shelter. But all of their songs are bloody good. God knows how many hours of my life i have spent listening to TFF. Thank you

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@sarablack2547]

Thanks for this Bryson love the choices.makes me wanna go back to the 80's. Everybody wants to rule the world was filmed It was filmed in Los Angeles, a desert in California and Cabazon. Shout was filmed at Durdle Door in Dorset,south coast of England not far from their home city of bath in the county of Somerset. The og of mad world is my fav. I can see the connection between sowing the seeds and late 60's early 70's beatles.you can see the last song was later than the others.

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thanks for watching! 😊

[@RosieLaRose5]

I miss how we used to dance in the eighties. So upper body and theatrical. That dancing out the window in Mad World is like a time capsule of movement.

[@GrayNeko]

"Woman in Chains", "Advice for the Young At Heart:, and especially, "Power"!

[@mst1740]

They are from my home town. Great band. Woman In Chains is a beautiful song.

[@gigaprobe]

Woman in Chains, Advice for the Young at Heart, Pale Shelter, and anything else from their Songs From the Big Chair album. If you're feeling feisty, watch Oleta Adams' cover of their song, "I Believe" from the Seeds of Love concert era--it's haunting.

[@bobbyhall3949]

You said you felt Shout in your bones. I first felt it in my bones in 1985 and still feel it in my bones every time I hear it. Thanks for sharing your reaction with us.

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thanks for watching!

[@joshuayeager3686]

Sowing The Seeds Of Love went down as one of my favorite songs for many years although my list of favorite songs changes constantly. I highly recommend “Break It Down Again” and “Woman In Chains” for other videos from them to check out. Enjoy.

[@clarakirkendoll6061]

Curt is just fantastic on that bass guitar. WOW 👌

[@weedle30]

How beautiful looking is Curt in this video?? Just …..VERY! he was just such a good looking and “pretty” boy - loved him so much 🥰🥰

[@sueschmidt9404]

Thank you for expanding and experiencing the past music I grew up with. Tears for Fears are a part of my life I appreciate more than you would ever know.

[@thefabfabs]

I'm 27 and I live for post punk and new wave! tears for fears is so amazing

[@lilamuzik3385]

"Time to eat all your words, open your eyes"... Sowing the seeds of love..."

[@lizmagu3189]

Time to eat all your words Swallow your pride Open your eyes... Such great lyrics!! 💯👍

[@bernicequigley4629]

I love this song and video for Shout. The keyboardist looks like Dave Coulier from Full House. At the end with all the people, I love the kids who sing and the little old lady just doing her thing. My favorite song and vide of theirs.

[@ohfour-seven6228]

Great reaction! Tears for Fears is one of my very favorite groups. Their song writing, engineering and production rivals Steely Dan, and that's the ultimate compliment. Other songs to check out: Woman in Chains (jaw dropping), The Working Hour, Elemental, Break It Down Again, Mr. Pessimist, Raoul and the Kings of Spain, and my favorite, Goodnight Song. Their new album is very good (just came out this year); check out the song The Tipping Point. Such an incredible group!

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you!

[@juniper728]

Also, they are so great live

[@kf9346]

Every time Mad World came on during after school videos, I was in front of the TV trying to copy that awesome geometric dancing. Yeares later as a clubber it definitely found its way into my dancing

[@savannahdean9585]

Watching you rock out to my absolute fave band from the 80’s is pure joy! Viewers can see the feels this music brings to your face. Roland and Kurt are still the best! ❤ It’s fun to watch ppl hear the genius of Roland’s lyrics and melodies along with Kurt’s amazing voice (both of their voices, tbh) LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!

[@fawnebrown4619]

Wow! Sowing the Seeds of Love sounds like it came straight off Magical Mystery Tour album. Right out of The Beatles psychedelic song handbook. Nailed it lyrically and musically too. Watching your TFF's reactions I'm reminded all over again why I fell in love with Head Over Heels and Shout. Already knew that Everybody Wants to Rule the World was an 80's sound masterpiece!

[@Problembeing]

You really should check out ‘Shout’ live with a full choir that they did a few years back. Incredibly powerful. Also, check out the song ‘Raoul and the Kings of Spain’ by Tears For Fears, when Roland went solo under that name. A much under appreciated masterpiece.

[@ajruther67]

Mad World is my favorite by them. It resonates personally for me and I love watch Roland dancing the video.

[@patriciagrant4913]

I love that you watch and react to several videos at a time for the various artist. Tears for fears is one of my favorite duos They are masters at what they do. Their vocals are phenomenal, the instrumentation is done so beautifully.

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you for watching!

[@franticrage73]

TFF for the win! Thanks for doing more. I hope that in your next reaction, you include Pale Shelter and Advice for the Young at Heart among your 4. Music videos for sure and not live versions. Can’t wait to see the next ones.

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thanks for watching! 😁

[@pearlady22]

Great reactions! Of the four songs you just listened to, my favorite is Sowing the Seeds of Love. I just love Roland’s voice and the passion in his voice in this song.

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you!

[@NoCanDu]

Great reactions! Head Over Heels, Shout and Rule the World are all from the Songs From the Big Chair album. That goofy album shot is iconic to 80s kids. It's one of those perfect, perfect records. It's a full album experience! Some of the songs run together or "reprise..." It just fits together perfectly. I don't know how reactors avoid listening to albums so they can react to tracks later. If I hear a band/song that I love, I have to get the album. I guess that's a very GenX thing to do. Boomers, too. Ha ha. I'm trying to remember if you had reacted to anything from their new album? If not, The Tipping Point, Break The Man and My Demons are really good! 😘

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you! I’ve only heard “The Tipping Point” from the new album, though I didn’t react to it. Loved the track!

[@paulmurphy7626]

@@PancakeMarshmallowDude I was very pleasantly surprised how good The Tipping Point (the title track at least) is after all these years. As someone already pointed out TFF is one of those musically timeless bands, and for particularly the first three albums, they have had such a strong balance of hooky, thoughtful and powerful songwriting. It's great to celebrate Tears For Fears with your fresh perspective.

[@mangerinegirl]

Oh yay yay yay you got back to TFF! I knew you’d love them. As a kid I didn’t appreciate “Shout”, maybe because it was overplayed and I didn’t really understand the message behind it. Now when I hear it I get the same feelings you did, especially watching the video with the kids dancing and having a blast. It just brings you joy and makes you let go of your worries. I don’t know if that was an organ, but at a few points I could swear I hear bagpipes. And of course the other three songs are classics as well. You picked good ones to continue with! It’s funny, I never noticed how often they use instrumental breaks until you pointed out. This was fun to watch with you! My other top song from TFF is “Break It Down Again.” Instrumentally that one kicks my butt every time I listen to it, and the vocals are fantastic.

[@juniper728]

They just did a American tour and European tour, but couldn't finish their European tour because Curt cracked his ribs

[@kevindobson6568]

Tears for fears is one of my fav bands ever I own every album from 1983 to 2022

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

MTV ERA, STARTING IN 1980, PRODUCED VIDEOS WITH ALL HIT SP GS...ARTISTS WERE REALLY INTO IT, AND DIRECTORS GOT THEIR FEET WET✌❤👍

[@theKarstenR]

As always such a good and fun reaction. "Woman in Chains" definitely needs to be in your next bunch of picks. And maybe one of my personal absolute favorites: "Mothers Talk".

[@leroyrs]

That was pretty cool. For me TFF are the voices and the sound of the 80s . You get s similiar vibe by Simple Minds(Don't you forget about me, Alive and kicking) the sound not the lyrics of "Everybody wants to rule the world" is how the 80s felt - always positive, being curious. The original "Mad World " was crazy with all the surreal sounds and Roland Orzaland's weird dance in the background. The sliw piano versions of that song had a complete different neaning and should be named "Sad World" . 😉 I recommend "Pale Shelter" and a pretty new one "The Tipping Point".

[@CEP73]

Oh such memories!! Incredible amazing group. You'll have these fab songs in your head for days! Incredible reaction as always😘 xxx

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you!

[@ajruther67]

Mad World is from their 1st album Hurt 1983 Everybody Wants to Rule the World and Shout are from their 2nd album Songs from the Big Chair 1985 Sowing the Seeds of Love is from their 3rd album Seeds of Love 1989

[@caneyebus]

You have to check out their new album The Tipping Point, it is a really great album and shows they still have that magic.

[@annesmith2259]

I still have my 7” vinyl of Shout .. still play it 😁

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

"WOMAN IN CHAINS" AND "SOWING THE SEEDS OF LOVE" ARE FIRE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍🎶🎸🎤🎵🎸🎶🎤🎵

[@taniaPBear]

I love these guys so much, aren't they awesome? Thank you for this wonderful distraction, I needed it like you'll never know. Was in an accident today, and in a lot of pain. ❤

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

I’m so sorry to hear that! Sending you well wishes. ❤️

[@layedout778]

My favorite 80s band hands down :)

[@petabulmer3317]

I loved your reactions to these videos! TFF are wonderful! Did you know that on Everybody the line "So glad we almost made it, so sad we had to fade it" is a reference to them not wanting to fade out Shout? Found out from Professor of Rock!

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

Thanks for reacting to these four awesome Tears for Fears songs! They were unique sounding back in the day and I couldn't get enough of "synthesizer heaven." :-) I saw them in concert in Baltimore back in 1985 on their "Songs From the Big Chair" album tour. If you revisit them in the future, you might enjoy "Change," "Woman in Chains" featuring Oleta Adams, "Break It Down Again" (co-lead singer Curt Smith left from 1991 to 2000, so only Roland Orzabal is singing lead here) and "(Because Freedom Is) No Small Thing" (a recent song from their 2022 album ... turn on the CC/closed captioning to see the lyrics).

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you for watching!

[@cjclark9051]

I believe and Laid so low (tears roll down) are a couple of my favourites.

[@robinvigil5091]

YES….. such a great song!!!

[@saratroy9613]

Tears for Fears is amazing. They released a new album this year, their first in 17 years, called 'The Tipping Point.' I suggest you react to the title track (or possibly even a whole album reaction, if that would be of interest). It's received rave reviews. They just finished a U.S. tour, where they played the majority of the new album live.

[@jenx4115]

Thank you for covering this band, I love them! Great reaction! 💜🔥I love Pale Shelter, Shout, and Head Over Heels. And Change - great band with so many memories attached! I grew up hearing their Mad World, so it was always weird hearing the covers!

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you for watching!

[@Dan-px4cq]

You were spot on. Sowing the Seeds of Love is my favourite song of theirs, and it's definitely a Beatles pastiche :)

[@yrankin1]

I love TFF more as I age. Just love them. Seeds of Love is an homage to the Beatles.

[@SteventheShoehanger]

When Sowing the Seeds was released there was nothing else like it on the radio. You HAD to stop and listen.

[@HappiestG]

Thank you again Bryson -- this gave me so much joy! All four are amazing songs and so different! For me, Everybody wants to rule... is THAT song. I never get tired of it and everytime I hear it, it intensifies whatever I'm feeling that day, but in an uplifting way. "Woman in Chains" is one I look forward to you discovering.

[@PancakeMarshmallowDude]

Thank you for watching!

[@Giggirl]

One of my favourite bands & one of the biggest & best from the 80’s ❤🎶

[@ivanoleg054]

To get an idea of their great versatility- check out “woman in chains”. It is a feature with Oleta Adams
