Hey @leroyrs , agree, this is by FAR an signature song of the 80s and my personal favorite. Just curious, to you thing the "Don't You Forget About Me" is as prominent as it is due to the Breakfast Club? I only ask because during discussion with others, when I have them listen to that side by side with Crowded House "Don't Dream It's Over" most people actually prefer the later. Just wondering your thoughts.

@@willwhitman7534 Sure "The Breakfast Club" made that song iconic. But IMO TFF and Simple Minds share a similiar sound. "Everybody rules the World" and "Alive and Kicking" have a comparable song structure with that positive very melodic upbeat sound.

They say the song of your life is whatever was #1 when you turned 12 years old. For me "Shout" by this band is the song representing me.

At the end of the song, when you said, "Noooooo. Why is it ending? Go back!" -- This is EXACTLY what I always thought whenever this was on the radio when I was growing up.

A true classic from the best yr of music in the 80's, 1985.

This song is very nostalgic for people who were teenagers in the 80s, it was on the radio constantly for like a year.

Yes! And damn it sounds good on vinyl. One of the best mixes ever.

One of the best songs of the 80's, I listen to it every time its on any radio station. And as a guitarist the solos in this song are fire.

The opening lyrics have always spoken to me..."Welcome to your life. There's no turning back." This song was released just as I was graduating from high school and turning 18 in 1985. The more time that passes, the more thought provoking those lyrics become. It was as if it was a send off to the rest of my adult life. And quickly, the older I got the more I began to realize there truly is no turning back. There are no do-overs. Once that time is gone, it's gone forever. Don't waste it. Make it the most of it. Here I sit, 39 years later with my 57th birthday just a couple of months away wondering where it all went and wishing I could have another chance to get it right.

Roland Orzabal (on guitar) and Curt Smith (on vocals) aren't related but they were childhood friends from Bath, England. They do have somewhat similar voices though, which could be a regional thing. Both actually share lead vocals pretty evenly throughout their catalogue. Curt is also the band's Bassist. Certainly check out "Head over heels" which features Roland on lead vocals. Also "Shout" (they were big into Shout therapy back then), "Advice for the young at heart", "Change", "Pale Shelter", "Mad World", "Woman in chains", "I Believe", "Sowing the Seeds of love"

Tears For Fears is a great group to jump down the rabbit hole with. Great musicians and songwriters.

These boys really were very much THE 80S in musical form, they're so great. This was one of THE all-time anthems of the Decade, definitely, every time I hear it it really takes me back to my childhood and a time when the world was ... very different. Sewing the Seeds of Love, Head Over Heels and Shout are the other absolute ESSENTIALS from these guys, and I would also recommend Mad World and Woman In Chains, they're both bangers too.

Fantastic Song, great album. Came out the summer of 1985. There are some great memories attached to that summer and this album. Check out Shout, by the same band. Feel better soon Biss!

Everybody Wants To Rule The World was released in 1985. None of the band members are related. They are a great band who captured the mood of the time perfectly. You must check out the rest of their music.

This song was sung by bass player Curt Smith, and his musical partner is the guitar player, Roland Orzabal, with the two the bandleaders. Roland sings lead about half the time, and they generally always provide backup vocals for each other. Both of them endured very difficult childhoods, resulting in them both being very introverted, and they'd been undergoing Primal Scream Therapy to help break them out of their introverted shells - which is what inspired their song Shout. The band's name, Tears For Fears, was also inspired by their collective therapy and emotional struggles. Everybody Wants To Rule The World would easily make the list of the Top 20 most important songs of the 1980s, and this monster hit enjoyed 4 or 5 years of hourly rotation on the radio, along with the other smash hit from this album, Shout. EWTRTW has appeared in MANY movies and even more TV shows. Here's a (very likely incomplete) list of movies known to feature the song: Real Genius (1985) The Secret Of My Success (1987) Peter's Friends (1992) American Psycho (2000) Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011) The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013) (cover by Lorde) Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) Pitch Perfect 2 (2015) Deadpool (2016) Wonder Woman (2017) The Lego Batman Movie (2017) Ready Player One (2018) Alita: Battle Angel (2019) Trolls World Tour (2020) Tesla (2020)

I've loved this song since 1985. It's just beautiful. And look at those instruments. This is not a rock song but they play actual instruments.

Shout and Head Over Heels are must reactions. Tears For Fears were an 80s band so right. Great reaction and hope you get better soon.

it is a classic almost an anthem in the 80´s

Tears for Tears - Mad World. Change. Pale Shelter. Head Over Heals.

They have so many amazing songs, Shout, Mad world, Woman in Chains...you should dive in. Oh and this is one of the few songs where this guy is the singer. Most of them are by the other guitarist who has another really rich voice and they harmonize really well together. Love your reactions Bisscute and hello from Cherry Gardens South Australia!

In a similar vein Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker has a song called "Running The World" it's still relevant 17 years on and it's guaranteed to get you singing along to the chorus, there's a fantastic live version on KZread from French TV

"Shout" is good also.

Hi Bisscute, you really should check out the singer with the pony tail and his daughter sing "Pale Shelter" from their home during covid. The singer is older now (and no more pony tail), but still sounding great! And his daughter sounds great too.

The song was released in 1985. A timeless classic. 🙂

Some songs like this take me back to a specific time and place when I was in my early '20s. Summertime, playing baseball, trying to impress a girl I had a hard crush for, getting teased by my friends about it. Like having a photograph burned into my memory, this song probably brings many others to a time and place that made them feel good. Even if hearing it for the first time, I hope music brings you to a particular time and place in your memory that is awesome. Love seeing others hear it for the first time too!!!!

Another great song from this band, and real favorite of mine, is "Shout".

Romania is cute. Your accent melts hearts

This song represents the 80's like an anthem. Another amazing song of this band you'll really enjoy is Advice For The Young At Heart.

Another classic dance tune in the 80s, beautiful guitar soloing too. You can't help but Move. "All for freedom and for pleasure, nothing ever lasts forever"...very 80s too. One of my top New Wave songs from the 80s (even as mostly just a metalhead back then) was "Melt With You" by Modern English, you DEFINITELY need to give it a listen, dear.

Would love to see you react to either Spandau Ballet or Little River Band. Both bands were staples of the 1980's.

thanks again biss, be well and take care

Great to see you react to this - it is indeed an iconic 80s hit which was huge in the mid-1980s on both sides of the Atlantic. Tears For Fears are a great British band, the two main performers you see (singer Curt Smith and guitarist Roland Orzabal) are still together to this day and you can find clips of them performing live even in recent years and they still sound great. There are lots of good songs from them apart from this one: "Shout", "Woman In Chains", "Mad World", "Sowing the Seeds of Love", "Head Over Heels", "Laid So Low (Tears Roll Down)", "Break It Down Again", "Raoul and the Kings of Spain" - to pick just the main highlights!

Nice! Good one! Can't remember if you've done them before. Good, very 80s band! For me, they were one of those bands that were popular when I was a kid, so they were there, in the atmosphere, but I didn't necessarily pay that much attention, but later when I was older, I was able to come to really appreciate how good they really were. This song in particular was used in at least a few movies in the 80s. They have a lot of good songs, like "Shout", "Sewing The Seeds Of Love", and "Mad World" are some of my favorites. Actually there was a great cover of "Mad World" in the early 2000s, by Gary Jules, I think, and Curt Smith of Tears For Fears, did a cute video of him performing it with his teenage daughter not too long ago.

The journey begins! Great band!

Great reaction. This song was huge in the summer of 1985. I would suggest Head Over Heels next. Feel better!

I love this song, it takes me back to my disco days, work all day to dance all night!

This song is from 1985 and they both are not related by friends . this song is an anthem for generations to come . ( Bisscute Happy Birthday !!! )

_...all for freedom, and for pleasure; nothing ever last forever..._ They had many great lines in that song! I hope you're feeling better soon. Thanks for sharing your reaction.

Pretty sure on one of your movie reactions, you reacted to Val Kilmer in 'Real Genius', the one where they filled the house with popcorn at the end. This track was the theme over the end credits of that movie.

Mad World and Pale Shelter are my favorite songs. This was mid 80s

Tears for Fears is an amazing band and they are still touring and putting out new albums. I see them live every chance I get. Last time they came to town they had the band 'Garbage' open up for them and it was one of the best concerts I ever went to. I don't know how these two guys have preserved their voices so well.

No, they weren't related, but Curt Smith, who's the main singer in this song, and Roland Orzabal, who's playing guitar, are British, I think come from the same neighborhood, met as teenagers, were in another band together very early on, but the two of them just vibed together, and found they were really on the same wavelength, and interested in the same kind of stuff, and had very similar upbringings, so broke off from that other group, and started Tears For Fears instead. They would both write songs, I think sometimes together, and sometimes separately, and they both perform, but some songs, one would take more of the lead, and other songs the other would, but either way, they were really great together. Seems like they were a pretty tight partnership for quite a long time, but after the fame, and the this and that, I think Curt Smith eventually just felt like he needed to be alone for once. I don't know exactly, but I think it's something like that.

This takes me back to my teen years. Please more Tears for Fears. I've always loved the official video for their song "Head Over Heels." The one playing guitar sings lead on that song.

An iconic song and wouldn't mind going for a summer drive in that nice 60's Austin-Healey 3000 mark 3 thats in the music video.

Years ago I saw Tears for Fears in concert in Milan, it was beautiful, they played all their greatest global hits

Still around touring and killing it just like the 80’s….two great singers and are just great musicians.

For more Tears for Fears, "Shout" is a must, but "Pale Shelter" narrowly edges it out for me.

Love your reactions. Fave Tears for Fears song is Head Over Heels. Think you'd love it.

The song was featured on the soundtrack of several films including Felix the Cat, Friends of Peter, Romy & Michelle, School of Geniuses and Change Your Life with a Click. The song also appeared in the early trailers of the film Independence Day, but was eventually favoured by R.E.M.’s It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine). The song also appeared in the television series Numb3rs, Malcolm, Mr. Robot (played in melancholy-dissociated style by Angela Moss in the karaoke of a nightclub in the episode Illegal Interception) and in the video games Saints Row 2 and World in Conflict and was reinterpreted by Darren Criss in the popular television series Glee. In 2014, a cover by Lorde was featured on the soundtrack of Hunger Games: The Girl of Fire, and was later used in the trailers of Assassin’s Creed: Unity and Dracula Untold and in the final sequence of the first season of The Royals. The song was also performed in the film Pixels and in 2016 a cover of the band Ninja Sex Party was released. The song is also featured in the films Ready Player One and Bumblebee. On November 7, 2018, it was used in the fourth episode of the third season of the American television series Riverdale, and on May 15, 2020, it closed the first episode of the first season of The Great. The song has been sampled and remixed by many artists, singers and DJs, an example is that of Tiësto of 2023, in collaboration with the same Tears For Fears.

It's not your current year playlist, full of 80s songs. It's John Hughes' playlist, from the 1980s. That one movie director was the biggest hit maker of the 80s. If the song was in a John Hughes teen movie, it was going to sell and get radio play.

Head over Heals, shout, and Sowing the Seads of love are a must

I was one year out of high school when this was released. Sure miss those days, life was so easy then compared to now. This song and most of your musical reactions take me back to those days.

This video was shot in the Cabazon California area, I lived about 45 min away from that location. The song was released in 1985.
