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) Review about Tears For Fears Great song | Reviewer: Brian Kari ------ About the song Mad World performed by Tears For Fears This song has haunted me. To reviewer "One Novelist"... it's in the movie "Donnie Darko" and that is where this ghost song invaded my brain. "Tears for fears" was always a one hit wonder for me with "Shout" but this song is a killer. It's really only four chords for an instrument, such as a guitar (Am, C, G, back to Am.....with a couple Dm's thrown in, if you understand this.....) For guitar players, you have to go up the neck to follow the vocal. It's the angst in the voice, that makes it. I hope I do it justice. Poetry at it's best. I hope my voice and fingers and my guitars can do it, echoing off my faded walls.....this is the kind of song that turns normal people into musicians, and artists, and you don't get a choice when that happens. Unbelievable, great song. Five out of five stars, and the original black and white video is amazing. Played too quickly, but still really great. If you haven't seen it, hunt for it. Worth the time. ~~~~~~Brian maybe the best tears song | Reviewer: Jon ------ About the song All of the Angels performed by Tears For Fears I stumbled onto this song by accident while looking up info on tears for fears. I wish it had been included on a tears album. cool melody, cool theme, great drums, nice bridge, great performance by Roland. wtg. Music is Power | Reviewer: For Natalie Love, Mal ------ About the song Woman in Chains performed by Tears For Fears I first heard this track after meeting a beautiful lady called Natalie via the internet. Natalie, like a lot of us had been in a handful of relationships and one in particular which had affected her, just as bad relationships do. I don't often hear a track for the first time and find myself moved and when it happens it really blows you away and that's what happened when I heard "Tears for Fears - Woman in Chains". The lyrics are awesome, the music is powerful and in so many ways, very true where Natalie is concerned. Never again should man push women around. Respect is what is needed. The main vocalists, Roland Orzabal and Oleta Adams compliment each other beautifully. I love you Natalie! I love what you're about and would never hurt you, nor would I wrap, nor tie you in chains. I hope time frees you and I will always be your friend, more if you allow it! Take care princess! Mal x past? | Reviewer: joe ------ About the song Woman in Chains performed by Tears For Fears could we say that this song was from the past but as i was going over it 2day it still fullfills its purpose. if we could only take its message to people with a lil bit of power, brains and guts, women's story would be another story. why women if they're the most beautiful thing on earth? Underrated song | Reviewer: Wayne ------ About the song Woman in Chains performed by Tears For Fears Why does this song no longer get air play? I saw this video as a teenager and was moved by the song. I was, and still am, a hard rock fan, but this song transcends all genres of music and is just an amazing blend of awesome vocals, inspiring lyrics and stirrin music. I rediscovered it a few years ago and finally understood the last lyric. I just wanted to check out the rest of the lyrics to truly understand what is being sung. It's a shame no one plays this song on the radio (at least not here in Canada). It's infinitely better than most of the dribble that's being put out these days! More than Words | Reviewer: Mohamed Abada ------ About the song Mad World performed by Tears For Fears I am not surprised at all when knowing that song was written by such a great band such as tears for fears...it feels like they wrote this song for the future...the world is getting mad and mad as the years pass by..when I heard the song for the first time, I felt the urge to know the chords so I could play it with my guitar so I start practising it for a couple of day..if I had to judge this song in one word I'd say "Brilliant". well done guys Question | Reviewer: Lea ------ About the song Shout performed by Tears For Fears Ok... this is just kind of a random question about the song lyrics.... ive seen several lyric sites typing the lyrics as "shout, shout, let it aloud.... but to me that sounds wrong! do you know if yours is TRUELY the right lyric and they are wrong? or do we BOTH have it wrong? I have to say "all out" makes more sense to me though! Great Song | Reviewer: Sheena ------ About the song Mad World performed by Tears For Fears It's a great song. I nearly cried. To quote Nyarlathotep-san: "The Song speaks of happinesses, but in a tone that implies rejection and fear hiding inside this short lives moments of joy. The song furthermore comments on the sheer crushing ennui that school of any kind, that pours slowly into the hearts of intelligent depressive students." How true. 80's - forever! | Reviewer: nick ------ About the song Shout performed by Tears For Fears You know what, I guess those bands like Tears for Fears, Journey etc from 80's will stay FOREVER! Sometimes I wish I could go back to the 80's. That was an incredible time! I'm happy that I was growing among that unforgivable spirit of 80's! Can anyone recall something remarkable from 90's? 80's, please come back again!!! LOVIN the 80s | Reviewer: Sue Horton ------ About the song Shout performed by Tears For Fears hi there - i'm about to turn 47 and this song has never really left my playlist - although i stress i'm into current stuff too - but there are some songs that will always make you feel good - and this sure as hell is one of them :) boys in 628 | Reviewer: jenn ------ About the song Badman's Song performed by Tears For Fears From what I remember from an interview with Roland Orzabal years ago about this song it was about an actual incident that took place on tour. He overheard a couple of roadies I believe in the room next door talking about him in a not very favorable way. I think it's about seeing yourself in someone elses eyes for the first time, like a mirror held up...but also about how someone's view of you can be distorted when they don't know all the facts and gossip is spread by heresay. How can you defend yourself? Great groove, and great vocals from Roland and Oleta Adams. This whole album brings back memories of a study abroad that I did in college. I remember listening to this album while riding trains all over Europe. It has a very strong nostalgic effect on me even now when I hear it. A mad world indeed... | Reviewer: Nyarlathotep ------ About the song Mad World performed by Tears For Fears Tears for Fears is one of the single greatest lyric-writters in the history of music, pure and simple, they are poets, with a muse what seemingly never relents. "Mad World" stands out as their single best work, in my opinion, and the lyrics show us again that they are both intelligent and insightful. Mad World is seeming about the crushing depression that intelligent people feel from just watching the very world around them, in this case the Mad World. The Chorus line: "and I think its kind of funny, I find it kind of sad, the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had." It one of the most powerful grouping of words any song has come up with, the feeling of rejection and pure sadness come through so strongly that it is hard not to tear up when you hear it. The Song speaks of happinesses, but in a tone that implies rejection and fear hiding inside this short lives moments of joy. The song furthermore comments on the sheer crushing ennui that school of any kind, that pours slowly into the hearts of intelligent depressive students. People might think this review is "emo" but it is not, it speaks from the great understanding of language that comes with living a life where the song "Mad World" could easily be the background music. Enjoy Mad World however you happen to, music is generally a very subjective issue and this is only my take, I thank you for taking the time I read my short review-essay and I hope it helps you in, all be it, minor way. Why, What? | Reviewer: Crying for Scary Things ------ About the song Woman in Chains performed by Tears For Fears Best song ever. OMG. How can this song be sung by anyone other than angels. Angels, I say angels. The best band ever!!!! I am so glad that they agree with me that women should be subjugated and put in their place. Way to go tears, a good slap is all you need, and some bird petting of course. Classic 80s anthem | Reviewer: Elad ------ About the song Shout performed by Tears For Fears As one who grow up in the 80s I can say this was and still one of my favorite songs of all time. There is so much energy and power in the music and the lyrics so dark and full of contents and soul. This one is hall of fame So deeply moving | Reviewer: Hugo ------ About the song Woman in Chains performed by Tears For Fears How I love this song... I'm happy to see other people feel the same about it, just as some others have said, when I hear it, it's hard to describe what it makes me feel. I'm a man and I'm also very moved that a man could compose such sensitive lyrics and dedicate them to every woman who is suffering, played over such deeply beautiful music. The marvellous vocals, the haunting, subtle music which gains intensity as it progresses - everything about this song is so special. i love this song | Reviewer: evita ------ About the song Woman in Chains performed by Tears For Fears the first time i ever heard this song: i was at work and i had to stop and turn the volume way up to hear every word. it pretty much hits exactly how i feel as a young woman in todays society with all of its pressure. and it really floored me to hear such a true, honest and touching song written by men for women. its haunting and beautiful. its my sad feminist anthem that i sing when i need a little lift... Wow... | Reviewer: Jazz ------ About the song Suffer The Children performed by Tears For Fears This song is so sad but yet so amazing.. It's so very deep. Just goes to show you how awesome a song can be when an artist actually uses their talent and brains to write a good song. I guess all those POP STARS (aka: Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, etc) should make a note that this is the way to write and sing a song. One of the best 80s tracks | Reviewer: Fan ------ About the song Head Over Heels performed by Tears For Fears Love the song - can listen to it over and over again. Not rock and roll, but damn it is fine music. The boys made some great music, harmonies, lyrics, and they are timeless... Sign of a true hit is one that you will never forget. Here's one of them! Amazing! <3 | Reviewer: Leah ------ About the song Shout performed by Tears For Fears I was born in the early 90's, but I've been going on a eighties craze for a while now, and I must say that right now I really wish that I was born then, because I would have been able to hear this amazing song as soon as it came out! I dunno what it is but as soon as I listen to it it transports me there....I just love this song! It is my favourite, and probably will be for a very long time! Love you, Tears for Fears! <3 Amazing! | Reviewer: Leah ------ About the song Shout performed by Tears For Fears I was born in the early 90's, but I've been going on a eighties craze for a while now, and I must say that right now I really wish that I was born then, because I would have been able to hear this amazing song as soon as it came out!
