Tears For Fears - Elemental

[songmonkeyman]

Is that Meshell Ndegeocello on bass?

[superbrat87]

@songmonkeyman it's gail ann dorsey on bass

[wftdmatthew]

good song, very well composed

[ammarlahori]

How beautiful is this song ?????? Words can't describe.....just awesome, genius, flawless....

[infinitelight93]

This video is totally strange, but it has Roland in it, and the song is gold, so who can really complain? :)

[Yeahthatsawesome]

One of my top 5 Albums, for sure!



[ggaggagga4]

A melody that is ridden...feel it alway through It's like becoming one with the sound!

[ericakasatch]

why is the video only 3:55 long when the song is 5:30?...

[tlacuache4ever]

Roland Orzabal , one of the best.....of the best

[TheClaudiarobinson]

1993...I was 23 years old..been listening to TFF since 1981...

[greenangel257]

loooooove this song

[wamcole3]

Is that David Bowies bassist at 1:13?

[TheHUMAiNeC0nditi0n]

I love this song and I like the video. I guess that makes me "strange" and "creepy". Oh well, maybe they've been sheltered from creepy strange things. I just hope they don't get to dictate what videos should be  and shouldn't be. Might end up like The video Catch by The Cure. Video is up but the music is gone. I guess someone found it strange and creepy. Thanks to whomever on that one.

[drewper73]

One of their best!

[tigerue]

LOL at the comment below mine. I was lmao

[jill9700]

Remember when Barack Obama is playing the bass?

[yurianne07]

@jill9700 .. then on jan. 20 2009 he turned mainstream.. :/

[gil321099]

Loved them @ 14, still love them @ 44...

[WalrusDoctor]

Honestly, the person who makes these creepy videos dissuaded me from listening to the newer TFF songs. But this sounds great.

[blackrisotto]

I love TFF!! My youthful memories...

[ChaoticYak]

Velvet suits aside, I really love this song. I've enjoyed my rediscovery of Tears for Fears quite a bit. Strange music video. Beautiful song.

[davi5050]

tears for fears!!!!!!!

[cliftoncorbet]

hope you love it baby

[Elfears]

NIIIICCCEEEE!



[landoperu69]

que gran tema ...¡¡¡¡

[negona83]

eu amo esse homem

[sineadpussycat]

I fell in love with a man because of this song, A man that NEVER had a chance.

[gabriel1502ification]

lo mejor.desde chile esperando para su recital el 30 de septiembre 2011

[icecoldisaac86]

I thought this song was shit when I first heard it.

I cant stop listening to it now hahaha, such self indulgent production.

So sensual and dark, like it should feature on a vampire film. ;)

[nancyaad33]

este disco y cd es el comienzo del talentoso roland .

[VarshaT1]

Many, many happy returns of the day, Roland. Aug. 22, 2011. Love your voice, love your music, love your talent, keep it going forever....

Best wishes and may you achieve all you desire

BELO HORIZONTE -BRASIL-dia 09-10-2011,chevrolet hall

[dfcontato]

PERFECT, PERFECT!!!

[ArmyFtBall]

Elemental CD is amazing.

[SmilyFishProductions]

@ArmyFtBall My friend has a tape with song on it, we listen to it every time I'm over.

[LolasTubular]

So good to know that I'm not the ONLY one who finds this man just exceptionally yummy. Whenever I see them live, I can't take my eyes off him....... sigh....... five more weeks and I'll get that chance again! :P

[theshathenst4f]

esto es elemental gran cancion es chida me encanta las poses de roland orzabal al tener sentimiento de la cancion.this days its all you"re down it is elemental.

[namokab71]

It has taken a few hundred listenings for me to really love this song, but this seems to make the love so much stronger.

[Dannyton1971]

Superb song, lyrics of an intelligent man.

[rolandorme]

When I listen to this, I find it almost laughable knowing Roland once made the comment he let Curt do most of the singing in the beginning because he did'nt have confidence in his own voice!! Ironic, huh???

[CelesteK]

@rolandorme Well before the end of the partnership with Curt the label told Roland that they wanted him to sing and he just wasn't comfortable with that.

Then I think that someone somewhere along the line told Roland that he was the biggest thing since sliced bread. And when one person is told that they're the biggest thing since sliced bread then that person is going to start to believe that they're the bigges thing since sliced bread. Once Roland heard that he started beleiving it.

[davedzone]

@CelesteK Roland was doing most of the singing from Songs From The Big Chair on. Don't know where you are getting your information.

[CelesteK]

@davedzone youtu(.)be/X8GNweT4g6Y

That's where I got my information from. And I meant at the begining not near the end.

[sad2002]

@CelesteK @rolandorme I fail to understand Celeste's logic. Did his voice change once he started to believe it?

[damespartan117]

5 dislike WTF!

[kenwayne96]

He looks like a long-haired version of Matthew Broderick.

[Archtungmonster]

LET  CARRIER EACH OUTER

[mikeNbackbay]

Did this guy buy the MJ book on how to screw us? Geez...this is not a real person but someone desperate.

[sweetjaybee29]

All I can say is great, Ronald!

[1961Tuber]

His name is Roland.

[ollieh11]

So what is the deal with the illumanti shit and new world order propaganda in loads of their videos are they meant to be part of that evil stuff, shame if they are that would put me off their music if thats true.

[k9vinf]

@ollieh11, I love how every religion makes any other religion or mysticism 'evil', especially when they each steal so much from each other anyway. TFF may use alchemical mysticism symbolism but the name of the song is 'elemental' - as in the elements. The whole album by Roland without Curt is very spiritual/mystical and that can be 'good' not 'evil' since most of it is the pursuit of a better/higher soul.

[ollieh11]

@k9vinf Well if you generally believe that the devil/satan is not evil than you are a complete idiot,

and i meant i love their music but if they are linked to the illumanti i wont be a fan much longer

And it isnt just this video.

Also the did a song called the devil with pretty odd lyrics if you think about it.

[BoubSerart]

@k9vinf i love it ; )



[bimkrung]

being in late 30s, what is lacking is passion. passion for the art

[luxefaire]

the whole cd is wonderful...it saved my life in tampa florida, where ignorance reigns and spectators rule...b

[bodiljensen108]

Love it! Sounds fantastic on B&O really loud!

[Jeremiy2]

I used to think they were ANTI-ILLUMINATI, now I see the one world, one love, new world order...jeeze had me fooled

[MsAnttee]

Met Roland during this tour! I just love TFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!  IMHO, no one can touch Roalnd Orzabal as a songwriter! LOVE< LOVE< LOVE HIM! Definately belongs in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! GREAT CONCERTS ALWAYS

[kim123792]

THIS IS THE BEST THEY EVER DID PRINCE TOOK THIS LOOK HE DIDN'T LOOK LIKE THIS IN 1993

[lawlzownage]

Anyone else think Roland Orzabal looks like Jon Cryer (Two and a Half Men, Pretty in Pink) in this video?  Great song, great video.

[vr3037]

terars for fears is i grate band back then and now is still good i love them..

[VarshaT1]

one of the most beautiful and melodious male voices.

[higherlovedevotee]

@VarshaT1 I agree with you

[indyinnz]

Ooooohhhh ...... Roland! :)

[sad2002]

I did not realize this was the same guy that sang Sowing the Seeds of Love with the long curls. He caught my attention but I never followed music back then. I know better now!!! His voice is fabulous :-)

This album is the reason why I started listening to TFF earlier this year.

[rpdotube]

CITYBANK HALL RIO DE JANEIRO! JÁ COMPREI OS MEUS INGRESSOS! :p SHOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

[mariohcintra]

CREDICARD HALL SÃO PAULO - SP - 06 Outubro- 2011

[CelesteK]

I don't know about those suits that he's wearing? :( They don't do a thing for him. I mean he looks amazing here and he's depriving us of all of that skin. :(

[biajun1]

sei que voces vem para o Brasil em outubro, ja estuavisando meus amigos todos.

voces sao demais de otimos musica com letras interessantes adoro voces

[Virgolistens]

ROLAND! Please sing this song at the Wilterns this September!!

[dweeberful]

@brownstar82 Are you sure?

[peaceluv2009]

@halohalen - That's not Obama...that's Gail Anne Dorsey, a monster-ette bassist. ;)

[merch1111]

ive always like tears for fears, but there are definately certain things that grow on you with age - hairy pie and mustard repulsed me at one time, now they are more than acceptable

[Afroblack379]

thats a pretty scintillating little bald chick. me gusta.

[bumba1967]

fabulous voice!

[dweeberful]

WOW! What a voice! 

[pam286]

nice song!

[anslon2]

Welcome to the real world...

[spiritofunion1]

Awesome..what a voice!

[Indigostar7100]

I liked this video!Roland is cool !

[Clegg108]

Adorable tema!!!!

[HazelSmurf]

2:48 ...the only guy wearing sweats in this video..

[xPLOWBOYx]

even in 1993 they kept there sound from the 80s but made it sound fresh

[dmdartfx13]

Loved them back in the day and still love their music especially this CD! Its awesome!

[angelicmuse8]

love them...........

[HazelSmurf]

i hope they gb'd that fire into the video, because all i know is that one minute i had hair on my arm and than i got on the jaws ride in universal studios & all of a sudden i didn't. -__-

[bleep77]

Elemental is one of my personal favorite albums. All the songs on it have an eerie feeling to them, which makes it very intriguing. Only a band like Tears for Fears can create something as captivating as this. This song is one of the highlights as well Cold and Break it Down Again.

[mst3kpimp]

this song is kinda weak.. i guess breaking up was'nt such a great thing.

[ZephyrShez]

What secrets does your awesome hair hold, Roland?!

Also, this clip makes me sad because it's blatantly obvious that Curt has left by this point :(

Though I love the song. It's my ringtone :3

[yoankano16]

TEARS FOR FEARS, EVOLUCIONADO!!! Muy bueno...lastima que falta Kurt! :(

[cefsigmaker]

i love TFF they are in my top 5

[GEMINO77]

fantastic

[UKbaby65]

Awesome song by an awesome band. Roland is the best, what powerful vocals he has. Please come back to Toronto Canada, boys. :)

[mothgraphics]

Great song...but why the shortened version?

[einsteinboricua]

It's not the same without Curt.

[alisterfolson]

@einsteinboricua I know...I think some songs were about him leaving...but they got back together later...

[cmann58]

Nice, but I prefer their classic 80's demeanour

[bryanlynne]

Really? You hated them. I loved them from the minute I heard the first bars of the first song I heard by them. I blew out the speakers in my car, twice.

[noelreverberation]

@bryanlynne i love them it's one of my favourite band !! it's strange 3:09

[noelreverberation]

fantastic song ahhhahahha 3:09 xD

[solidstatemind]

Gotta love the velour suits.

[MrMarcosbarboza]

everybody like tears for fears fiends

to marcão

[Dahzeal33]

Fire Fox + adblock+ and you never have to watch ads. There's always a solution with computers but bitching gets you no where...

[HazelSmurf]

I hate how this video is just close ups of his mouth.

[Mr061099]

i hate VEVO

[mad4tff]

Well I have loved them since 1983, they are an aquired taste!, you either love or hate them, met them both and they are A+++ they actually have saved my life!!!!! xx

[rafaecheve]

what a hair

[mymusicjeter]

Why Tears For Fears has just one song ?

Where is all other songs ?

F VEVO

[KingCrimson776]

@mymusicjeter Their songs are all over Youtube, just not on this Vevo channel, and watching on Vevo sucks anyway because of all the ads.

[msmarasea789]

Let's be human shall we and keep it real. Their wives (God bless them) are human as well. They know them as Roland and Curt. These woman do have a brain. Do you honestly think they have never fantasized about someone else? Please! I do understand acting on it is another level. Hope 4 stay vigilant on the marriage front. Anywho, TFF will still be talented up the wazuuu (as always), we can still be great fans and I will keep MY fantasies thank you very much!

[morningsnoopy]

take another leap in the dark, with a humble heart, do yourself some good x

[ftsjr]

I wish that TFF would hurry up and release another CD.

[racecar06]

Ya gotta love the Gold Strat...............

[RachelLovesMac]

wtf is up with dudes hillary clinton hairdo???

[charlitox1]

WTH is Vevo?

[tombroker]

@charlitox1 hahahaha good question ¡¡

[testcardgirl26]

"Elemental" album is so underrated! this is one of my all time fav tracks <3

[ceeceesrevenge33]

@testcardgirl26 I so agree with you I love the song and the album.

[xPLOWBOYx]

@testcardgirl26 i agree with you,this album very underrated ,i git ths album when it first came out

[DjICEbrooklynNYC]

This song always hit me hard with reality,now more than ever it describes the f ++up world we leave in today.I'am so scare of the future nothing seems to be right anymore.

[g0sth4ck3d]

Fantastic album. Powerfull through and through.

[10spotshirtsdotcom]

thumbs up if @gilbereforte 's "train lights" brought you here!

[Josephinedepp]

I was wondering if the documentary is available at Elemental dvds?

[elahe3]

This is not the original band. This is Roland Orzabal when he split from Curtis Smith but still called himself Tears for Fears.

Yeah Club Diva, Roland is DAMN sexy!!!!

[josetrucios]

@elahe3 simply, RO is TFF

[thenewmexican64]

Hey KungPowMeow.

There is no Curt on any songs but four in the entire TFF song catalogue.

Just say. Mr. Orzabal.

[DaviMax]

Great! Best album ever!

[ClubDiva]

He is SO damn fkn SEXY!!!!!! He reminds me so much of the guy I am seeing....mmm. <3 :)

[TruthJockey]

As an American, I enjoyed many of the UK's imports...The Police, U2 & Tears For Fears are STILL in my top 5 (along with The Dave Matthews Band). Come to think of it, Natalie Merchant might be a Brit, too?! That'd be FOUR outta my top 5...sheez.

[mrchrisization]

@TruthJockey Dave Matthews is originally from South Africa and his band is definitely American..just a friendly FYI..

[malina39101]

SUPER!!!!

[89Timex]

Hated this band when I was younger. Top Fav now. Tastes improves with age.

[arlenesel]

@89Timex me too, I actually re-discovered them watching a literal version of "Head over heels" and thought, wow that's actually a great song and have been listening to them so much in the past month.

[Nza420]

@89Timex how the hell could you have ever hated Tears for Fears?????? I mean, really?!? XD

[89Timex]

@Nza420 My sister like them so.....by nature, I dislked them.

[superocklevel]

@89Timex Very true..= )

[christiannandres]

@89Timex same here.i was a headbanger and hate all pop or alternative but today im 37 and enjoy all this 90s tracks...

[InterestPossession]

Herd only few of this band, like Everybody Wants to Rule the World, or 1 tht I like a lot, Shout. Went 2C this song, and liked it 'lot. Scared me little bit, tho, like w/ “arms around” @ around 1:17. 1 hell of a creepy part. Still liked tht part. I’m 16 yr. old boy & in Grade 10, & like older music, mostly British. Not into today’s stuff. NE 1 heard of band call'd Collective Soul? This 1's much like it + guy’s name is Roland? U no wut maix it so coincidence-Collective Soul’s lead sing=Ed Roland.

[damespartan117]

HD pliss

[Chrismutvar]

im never tired of listening tears for fears ,they are always fresh for me even there songs are older then 25 years!!!

[nissan300zxkid]

2 People aren't Elemental

[JamaicaUK]

I wouldn't kick Roland out of bed!!! He looks so sexy there!!!

[Antonio9069455]

awesome song

[n4ndoz3]

Well... assuming that you only know how good is a music, by what you feel when you listen to that, the TTF makes, for me, the one of the worlds best musics. Not even the "newset", but the oldies too, likeMad World! Of course, nothing compared to Pink Floy(my favourite), but TTF(i mean Rolandand Curt's) songs are ever well donne, produced and with the new Music Technologies, the songs are a lot better too.(e.g. Elemental)

[halohalen]

1:13 I didn't know Obama was playing Bass for TFF

[LoboRoland]

@halohalen It's a girl. Called Gail Ann Dorsey.

[sistermadlyus]

@halohalen I think this is the woman who also played bass for Bowie

[Heavenlysedated14]

@halohalen ; I was looking close, I think it might be a chick lol.

[vewsong]

@halohalen u saying all presidents and bass players look the same?

[TheLianneg]

@halohalen Gail ann dorsey is the bass player here, check her out, she's a brilliant bassist and has many credits to her name including a certain mr. Bowie who she has played with extensively!!

[TheLianneg]

@halohalen

[SaberLeoConvoy]

@halohalen u know thats a woman right.....

[arlenesel]

@halohalen ROTFL Gee I didn't know either

[BobbyRayCopernicus]

@halohalen LMAO!

[bigbrokin]

@halohalen LOL... Obama doesn't work... 

[gazdavephillips]

@halohalen That's a woman! lol

[Nza420]

@gazdavephillips I would be willing to bet that she would be a better president than o'bama..

[christiannandres]

@halohalen hahaha she does look like obama!

[caitlinniamh]

I totally respect TFF's use of the bass. Their music has great bass lines

[ZombieNatalie]

Roland and Curt's music makes me wanna get up and get out there. "Don't say your up when your down" wow! There hella gorgeous to might I add. Love this song so much I made a video with lyrics =0)
