FORMED: 1981 TFF topped the charts in the '80s with world-wide hits such as - "Shout" (#1 in US), "Everybody Wants To Rule The World (#1 in US), "Sowing The Seeds Of Love" (#2 in US), "Head Over Heels" (#3 in US), and "Advice For The Young At Heart". TFF has sold over 17,000,000 albums. The "Tears For Fears" name was derived from the book "Primal Scream" by Arthur Janov, "tears as a replacement for fears". Both Roland and Curt were heavily influenced by Janov's book. (Before Curt and Roland created TFF, they were in the band "Graduate", and before that "Neon".) Two TFF song titles from their first album "The Hurting" were taken from chapters in Janov's book; "Ideas As Opiates" and "The Prisoner". Roland and Curt made the album so they could afford to take More... (Submit New Tears For Fears Lyrics) (Submit New Tears For Fears Lyrics) emo...maybe | Reviewer: cheatsdeath? ------ About the song Head Over Heels performed by Tears For Fears I like this song, but for some reason it always makes me long for the past...think I was about 10 when this song came out. Now close to my thirties I know what they meant when they sang this, and it makes me overwhelmingly remorseful that my younger life is over and Im stuck with this yucky boring blandness. oh well, time flies. bvirgo21 | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Pharaohs performed by Tears For Fears Pharaohs" is an instrumental that served as the B-side to the "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" single. The only voice heard is a recording of a BBC Radio announcer reading the shipping forecast for the sea lanes around the United Kingdom. The title of the song is a play on the word "Faroes", one of the places referenced in the forecast. This is one of the few songs in the Tears for Fears catalogue on which founding member Curt Smith shares a writing credit. The song has since been included in the B-sides and rarities collection Saturnine Martial & Lunatic as well as the remastered and deluxe edition reissues of Songs from the Big Chair. A remix by British electronica act Groove Armada is included on their 2000 compilation album Back to Mine. No matter how horrifying the conditions may really be, the voice reading the shipping forecast is deliberately calm and relaxed. Recorded at the Wool Hall for the b-side of 'Everybody' in a calm and relaxed way. —Chris Hughes Excellence!!! | Reviewer: Alejandro ------ About the song Raoul and The Kings of Spain performed by Tears For Fears I heard this song in a live recital of Tears For Fears in Argentina and no other place, I got all chilled by it sound and the astonishing melody. The lyrics have a lot of sense if you pay attention. This is one of the best bands ever and this i one of their best songs, (I just don't understand why it (the song) isn't so popular). Greets to all Tears For Fears fans. What Is This Song About? | Reviewer: Peter Dunn ------ About the song Badman's Song performed by Tears For Fears fantastic song as any true Tears For Fears fan have come to expect but I'm sure this song, like The Hurting, Watch Me Bleed and Suffer The Children from their first Album The Hurting has a special significance and meaning. Could anyone shed any light on what Badman's Song is about? sweet! | Reviewer: plain_jane ------ About the song Last Days On Earth performed by Tears For Fears Tears For Fears' new album, "Everybody Loves a Happy Ending", is a keeper. what a way for the group to come back! "Last Days on Earth" is one of my favorites, the music is just beautiful, and the words are classic TFF: soulful and touching. get up, stand up! | Reviewer: plain_jane ------ About the song Shout performed by Tears For Fears this song is such a classic! every time i hear it, i want to stand up and pump my fist in the air, it's like an anthem of the 80's. hands down, tears for fears is definitely my favorite 80's band! Tears for Fears are Hot | Reviewer: Ruthie ------ About the song Everybody Wants To Rule The World performed by Tears For Fears I was totally mad for these guys when I was 14 and just loved all their songs and everything else about them. I grew up with their songs on my walkman ( No ipods in those days ). I would listen till my batteries ran out. I sing Everybody wants to rule the world on the sing star with my kids now and they love this song too. I would be Tears for Fears Woman in chains any day. The 80's rocked. The Working Hour | Reviewer: kelani's groove ------ About artist/band Tears For Fears After buying Songs from the big Chair on cassette in '85, and literally wearing it out over the next few years, these guys had all but slipped from my mind. But I was walking down the hall at work, and heard Shout wafting out of a room. I popped my head in an saw a buddy listening to the CD, which he promptly loaned me. I put on my headphones and went straight to track 2: The Working Hour. Most folks I talk to don't even know this track, but it was my favorite from day one. Starting with the haunting sax opening and the mellow, but driving (how is that combination even possible?) percussion and synth groove, this song always gets me straight in the gut - in an awesome way. I was back to 18 and loving it. This song, and Howard Jones "No One Is To Blame" pretty much defined my college years. A tip of the hat guys - after 22 years! always been my favorite | Reviewer: starr ------ About the song Head Over Heels performed by Tears For Fears i heard this song 4 the first time when i was 8 years old and fell in love with the band. my sister was into michael jackson and i was into tears for fears. every time i hear head over heels, it's like i'm hearing it for the first time. i am constantly playing the song on demand on the internet. was crazy about them in the past, still crazy about them, and always will be. Ultimate wake up song! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Shout performed by Tears For Fears This song is amazing! When I was little, my Dad used to put this on really loud on his huge stereo system to wake us up in the morning. The whole family would sing it out loud! I'll never forget those times. The music of Tears for Fears is part of a deep bond between my brother, my Dad, and myself. I love it. Just brilliant | Reviewer: John ------ About the song Shout performed by Tears For Fears Indisputably as good as anything U2 have ever done {and much better than anything on Joshua Tree} yet so under-rated. If there were any justice, Tears For Fears would be featuring on a crappy Ipod ad… Beautiful Song | Reviewer: Chris ------ About the song Woman in Chains performed by Tears For Fears The song is so emotional and strong that my three year old dances and sings to it he loves it . Spiritual guidance is the way i describe it. Tears for Fears is great anyway. My fav is Everybody wants to rule the world Poetic justice | Reviewer: evolving ------ About the song Woman in Chains performed by Tears For Fears Breaking chains and destiny.....have spent half my life trying to free her....damaged but not dead. This song whispers the longings of every captive woman, regardless of the source of the chains. Classic | Reviewer: Elizabeth ------ About the song Shout performed by Tears For Fears It doesn't get much more classic than this...the musical interludes i could do without but what a heavy song and so lengthy too. Its like you can live in the eighties again for minutes upon minutes. Donnie Darko - Tears for Fears - head over heels | Reviewer: Elsie ------ About the song Head Over Heels performed by Tears For Fears I like this song when I was very small already. But in that time, my english is not good. And I don't know their names. Luckily, I heard this song in the radio and makes me very happy. So I can hear over and over again. I will copy the lyrics and sing along with them. thats make me very relex/ Woman In Chains | Reviewer: Shay Doyle ------ About the song Woman in Chains performed by Tears For Fears Recipe: You take an important subject matter; add a wonderful lyricist, incredible musicians and top it off with two excellent vocalists. Mix it all together and you get “Woman in Chains.” Imagined context | Reviewer: Matthew ------ About the song Woman in Chains performed by Tears For Fears The only song I can think of on par with this in terms of soul stirring would be 'Siren' by This Mortal Coil'. When I hear this song I imagine that the protagonist is struggling to come to terms with the reality of prostitution, perhaps in a foreign culture he encountered during travels. The victims justify it, yet it remains a tragedy robbing all involved of parts of their humanity. Masterpiece! | Reviewer: Luis Hernandez ------ About the song Woman in Chains performed by Tears For Fears Incredible song; everything about it is awesome! the lyrics of course, about man's repression of womankind, are true to heart and so accurate. Also the music and arrangement are wonderful. Every sound comes together and the vocals as well, to make it a beautiful and hauntingly emotional and very moving song. It still to this day brings tears down my face. Roland's(the composer and lead singer) voice together with Oleta Adams are so moving(Oleta is the jazz/blues singer that also is known for "Get Here If You Can". Also... a bonus to the track that most people don't know is the guest appearance of Roland's good friend Mr. Phil Collins who played the drums in the song, his drumming in it was exceptional as always. Anyway... definately one of my all time favorite songs. Hope you can appreaciate and enjoy it as much as I do. Men, lets always remember to love and appreciate all the women in our lives and give them the respect they deserve. One Great Song | Reviewer: One Novelist ------ About the song Mad World performed by Tears For Fears If a movie-company ever make a film of my first novel, this song will be in it, I'm sure. It's perfect for the felling of the story :) YOU"RE A GODDAM RETARD | Reviewer: steven Holt ------ About the song Call Me Mellow performed by Tears For Fears This is for the anonymous reviewer above: I'm wondering why an inbred alabama piece of trash like you, who is no doubt havin' a bucket of chicken eatin', 2 liter pepsi drinkin' nite, dare to comment on this? AHEM\ Curt and Roland did NOT collaborate on Raoul and the Kings of Spain. It's not obscure history, it's REALLY CLEAR to anyone following music. So, FUCK YOURSELF.
