  • i love this song! <3

  • Love this song! Thanks for posting it. I mentioned this on your other one that I got to see Tears for Fears live in the '80s. They were great. I also saw The Motels, Crowded House (many, many times), Berlin, The Police, The Fixx, Queen and Art of Noise (remember them?) among others.

  • I listen to tears for fears all..... day long :D cause i love them

  • pretty

  • Love me some Tears for Fears ...

  • One of the trully intellectual albums next to . . . Queensryche's "Operation Mindcrime"!

  • @oker59 Mothers Talk!!

  • @SunsetSideVet

    the whole album!

    when I was young, I didn't like "everybody wants to rule the wold"; now I see it both musically and intellectually!

  • @oker59 Shout reminds me of the song red skies at night by the fixx...

  • I love this song and band, your remember your getting older...Your parents thought the same of this crap and probably mentioned Perry Como as the good old days. :)

  • Why has music turned so shit........i dunno

  • This song, of all on the album, takes me back the fastest! I can't hit those notes anymore though!

  • Thank you

  • Aside from "Mothers Talk", this is one of their best songs

  • I Believe!

  • la cancion mas hermosa de todas!!!!

  • saw them in dublin 20 years ago

  • May I recommend the book 'A Concise Guide To Eighties Music' by Karl Vorderman. The author is a big fan of this track.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG, I LOVE TFF, I SEE YOU IN BUENOS AIRES. PLEASE COME TO URUGUAY. I LOVE YOU ROLAND. I LOVE TFF ROLAND YOU ARE THE BEST

  • It's a beautiful afternoon here in the NW and decided to put on some Tears for Fears for the backdrop of the day and this music only magnifies the beauty of God’s creation. Roland & Curt are amazing artist STILL! What a blessing to being able to listen to their Genius, thank you Roland & Curt... you're the best!

  • back in the day a person had to really exude a tremendous amount of talent . The powers that be which handed out stardom & fame didnt care how long the general public had to wait before finding another hit singer or band. Nowadays, the music industry isnt what it used to be. It's turning almost anyone with a descent voice into a talent show on tv that gives us the pop culture songs of this day & age. It is what it is but I think Dick Clark said it best, "Music is the Soundtract to your life."

  • love this song!

  • I agree.... these guys especially, and duran duran were really under rated as musicians. They had to get famous by being marketed as "Hair Bands" or Posers or whatever, but really... there were Very Talented Writers and Musicians.

  • the heart breaking pop songs are all made by the so very young

  • i really love this song.........so inspiring......

  • I beleive this song was written for Robert Wyatt, whos voice would have suited it perfectly. (if you havent heard of wyatt, look him up singing shipbuilding)

  • @jolleygoodshow I was listening to what I thought was new music by this guy called Robert Wyatt and as i listened I thought, "Hmmm.. kinda reminds me a little of the "Soft Machine." And little wonder as I did some research. Boy, have i been sleeping under a rock? The more recent stuff by Wyatt is wonderful. I love the purity of the underproduced numbers.

  • rr7firefly1 Wyatt is the antithesis of what seems to be going on in music these days. which can only be a good thing!!

  • @TOMASTOPETE Actually, for a while, there were 4 of them. Keyboardist Ian Stanley and drummer Manny Elias. They were only around for two albums, I think. Used to have such a crush on Ian:) They were considered members of the band, so they counted. Most folks just recognize Roland and Curt.

  • Still have this one on vinyl:) This was my favorite track. Wish I could see them on tour later this year, but they are only doing a few dates on the west coast:(

  • I'm not sure there is any debate in order to know which decade is better than another. This kinda question is only relevant for those who live in their memories and/or are unable to evoluate...

    Never mind! Tears For Fear was really a special and talended band. I'm found of what is produced today but I'm also happy to hear such good songs one more time!!

    let's sow the seeds of love...

  • I loved the 80's and wish I could go back and do it all over again.

  • I worked for Roland on his last album and miss the music... He's retired now...

    I hope he is happy and drinking his pouilly montrache... save a glass for me Rol.... I'll pay you a visit one of these days with a bottle....

  • just classic, plain classic

  • I love Roland's sarcasm in this song

    

  • @yaritzanaty1 "I could be wrong, or have I hit a nerve?" I've been tempted to say this to people many times, hehe. ;)

  • Cara...eu nem nasci nos anos 80 e mesmo assim amo essa música.

    Muito bom!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @TOMASTOPETE uh... no?

  • Essa música me lembra uma época da minha vida que hoje eu sei,que era feliz e não sabia....amo demais,linda!!!!!!

  • JUST BEAUTIFUL.

  • ke buena cancion ... gracias por subirla me trajo muchos recuerdos... =_/

  • melodias...excelente!!!

  • I't sure isn't rap, and that's a good thing. 

  • Amazing song, disagree with me all you want, but I really think that the sax at 3:22 shouldn't be there, it just doesn't fit at all, in my opinion. But still, love this song.

  • I believe this is one of the greatest songs ever!

  • I should have died in teh 80s. no more "2000s" junks.

  • @yurianne07

    Hey, there were shitty bands in the 80s and great bands now you know.

  • @yurianne07 I feel the same way too......there were still the feeling of "real" instruments at the time....today everything is so computerized.......

  • @yurianne07 Don't say that you have to pass this time of great songs don't let it down ! I am sure we will throw out this music to our children ! Think about your parents if you got some !!!?

  • I believe.me too.

  • I still have tha Vinyl album.. Best music of the 80s..

    

  • I fell in love with my first girlfriend to this song....:)

  • @rationalmale This was my first girlfriend's and my favorite album in 85. Our song was "head over heals". I remember she gave me a pewter pendant with "head over heals" engraved on the back. We were 16.....wow....

  • This is one of those songs that just left me stunned from beginning to end, never heard anything like it before. The mixture of hope and doubt in the lyrics is disturbing yet amazing. Plus they really knew how to use saxophones in the '80s. ;)

  • This song touches my heart, because I know it's true to the letter. It is true, we will be strong once the hurting, pain, war, hate, violence and anger perishes. We may perish with it, but the pain will end someday.

  • ¡Qué temazo!

    

  • Someone from the UK tell me if I am wrong but don't the band members all have music degrees?

    Anyway, these are songs worth listening to and they will be classics for a long time. The whole album is GREAT.. Put it on and "Let the Music Play" a la Barry W.

  • i love this song to bits

  • Knighthood for Tears for Fears ...... and then they should turn it down !! :)) ... we know they are too good for it!

  • If you were alive and "engaged" in the 80's then you'll realize, other than the creepy outfits and hair people wore, how wonderful the decade really was. Music from Tears for Fears, Phil Collins (genesis), Tina Turner, Michael Jackson, Lionele Richie, George Michael, Culture Club...were simply wonderful.

  • THE 80'S WERE THE BEST ! 

  • @ahfaxthis "THANK YOU"!!!!! I thought I was alone in this. 80's music was about living n loven' life, it was truly the best!!!

  • canzone esagerata

    una delle canzoni più belle mai suonate

    chapeau for tears

  • @UnchainTheNight1 Roland does sing this song - not Curt...

  • This is the only song on this album I skip over. Roland should have sung this song, Curt just sings up to high for it in my opinion.

  • This was the first album I bought when I left home. It still makes me think of the heavy snow and deep cold of that year. I still play it when there is snow about.

  • the 80s were the best ever and always will be.

  • The 80s was the last decade of touch before PCs when people actually spoke to each other face to face, long life the 80s

  • Damn Rolands voice... ;-DDD

  • eso que llamamos tiempo sigue su camino, pero podemos refugiarnos en nuestras memorias, como quien busca cobijo ante la tormenta

  • my mom turned me on to these guys when I was like 7 or 8 and just hearing it brings back so many good memories! What the hell happened too good music?!

  • Such a beautiful song feels like your drifting away into a natural high so beautiful

  • Nice song, but I prefer the version from their 20th Century Remasters, their best of CD. Either way, I do believe that Tears for Fears are awesome.

  • i love this damn song.

  • I'm a Black guy. I'm 57 years old. I have this album on vinyl ! I used to put my speakers in the doorway of my home and blast the neighborhood with this music !

    'Welcome to your life ... there's no turning back' ... 'Sowing the Seeds of Love'

  • @garyn1953

    u funny man.. i'm black too and i also did sh&t like that with this group.. yea.. they were that fierce right?!?! lol they were..

  • @RiqNice  :-D

  • @garyn1953 lol Where is this neighborhood?!

  • @spartonabca This neighborhood is in America. It's in an urban place called Baltimore, MD. The actual neighborhood is/was called Walbrook Junction. It's in the northwest section of my city. lol

  • @garyn1953 and I guess you metioning that youre black, is your attempt to shatter the stereotype that nt all niggers listen to rap/hip hop, and you just want to feel included by everyone and get thumbs up for your comment, so you can promote equality and a feeling of 'knowing' how it has been in your life, WHILE recieving popular accomodation just from that statement. huh. *wonders*

  • @sasuke9121 cocksucker.

  • @homelesshannah50 Disregard that racist comment.  My account has been compromised by my roommate. This has happened once before and its getting me a lot of shit. I'm sorry for any disrespect my fucking roommate has casued.

  • @sasuke9121 my apologies then.

  • @sasuke9121 And you need to learn how to spell!! metioning=mentioning ,youre=you're ,nt=not, recieving=receiving.....In short, the way you structure your sentences just proves to everyone how ignorant you really are.I have a racist roommate too.But it's no excuse for me to trample on others.So,please refrain from using your roommate as a scapegoat.We're all responsible for our own actions.

  • @howarddrakeford You know what fuck you!

  • @sasuke9121 You know what? Fuck you! Now doesn't that sentence look better?Remember,always use the proper punctuation.

  • @howarddrakeford ...UM CEGO QUERRENDO GUIAR OUTRO....PELO MENOS O OUTRO NÃO USOU PALAVRAS CHULAS

  • @odair7525 What does that mean? And which language is that?

  • i love this

  • There's not 1 bad song on this album...

  • Muito bom! Obrigada.

  • Such a great song! 5*

    Many thanks for posting

  • Sweet !! Thanks for the reminder of the greatness that doesn't exsist in modern music, if it does, I can't find it. TFF Rules !! Saw them in Lakewood/Cleveland in 2004 and they where better than ever ;-D

  • Hell, if you do some comparisons, I believe the artists that made it big in the 80's were a hell of a lot more talented than what we have now! The 80's were a great time to be a young adult, I can tell ya that.....

  • @jorged1971

    I agree with you, living in my 20-30 years in the 80s` I was born 1960 so I match the decades precisely <3 heavenly time for me, cant look back tho, must carry on being who I have become now and enjoy my life in the little pleasures I still have and have great gratitude for all of it, including the blood, sweat and tears. : )

  • in 1985 or 84 I dont remember for sure, I purchased a vinil, went to the store with my dad, and it was a collection of songs from the time. This song was in there and I started to learn english with it, because it was slow. At the time, my father said I was singing without knowing I was spelling it. (I´m Brazilian). Today I speak like 8 languages...more so over. Do not know how. I created my own method. I think brain and music function together, need to know how. Thanks Tears. I´m 32.

  • Prefer Robert Wyatt's version.

  • this song is sad

  • Quite possibly my favourite TFF track (with Pale Shelter - can't decide which one).

  • Its just too late for anyone to beleive

  • Growing up in Denver and goint to East Hight in 87 remember this song

  • veramente una bella canzone...

  • hello

    best wishes

    claudine Movsessian, clarinettiste

  • <3 tears, what are casino spanish eyes?? :P

  • are you english speaker¿ I think is a play with the words... just try to hear this phrases ' In the casino

    casino spanish eyes'

    they don't sound like other sens¿

    I'm not sure, but maybe. Tell me if you find it. thanks.

  • I like the whole song!....but seriously, between 2:45 to 3:22 i can't help but shed a tear everytime that part plays T.T

  • A mature song from the then young Roland, nearly up there with Wyatt's best and certainly one of the better things to come out of the 'orrible 80's.

  • The 80's weren't horrible. They were much better then today.

  • @KungPowMeow

    Hell, yeah! That was when music was at its best! :-D

  • @KungPowMeow agree:)

  • @KungPowMeow I disagree, every decade has its share of good and bad music, the 80s were no different.

  • @KungPowMeow

    At least the popular music then was so full of passion, the greatest ballads of all time were written when I was in middle school. Doesn't matter if they used synth more than analog instruments, and honestly for the most part that isn't even true. People who diss the 80's just don't understand what it meant to grow up then, yeah man.

  • @peniosasdasd hell, I didn't grow up then and I adore the 80's. I have a lot of respect for the artists from that era. Most of them had more talent in one finger then most artists do today in their whole body.

  • A powerful song that Roland wrote as a tribute to Robert Wyatt. If you like this, check out Roland's cover of Robert Wyatt's "Sea Song".

  • That song is like heaven on Earth!

  • One of the best and most beautiful songs of the world....!!!

  • A most awesome recording. Perfection.

  • Perfect.

  • I got to slow dance with a girl to this song.

  • @BipolarBowler Lucky her!

  • It wasn't really great. She wasn't the one I truly love. She was actually my roomate's girlfriend who cheated on her husband with my roomate while he was in Iraq! I got myself involved in some stupid Jerry Springer shiznit. I was/am a fool. We didn't have sex though. She was really just using me to get back at my roomate and I was desperately in need of some human contact. I've been so foolish, but I gotta live with that. Now my philosophy is the acknowledge, forgive, & learn! AFL!

    :)

  • @BipolarBowler If this song doesn't spark romance, forget it lol!

  • @BipolarBowler Awe how romantic ;)

  • @BipolarBowler lucky lol

  • @BipolarBowler - Lucky:)

  • I half to say I like this version a little better only because it's more haunting.But the soulful re-recording is good too.Tears for Fears forever!

  • just try to imagine your life without... yes, I know - ´s just not possible...

    this had a great influence to a whole generation...

  • Be well my brothers and sisters. A new world is upon us.

  • Such a great song for 'couple skate'!  Tears for fears was one of my favorite bands. The horns in this song are next to perfection.

  • These guys are way under rated, they are incredible song writers and musicians ! Definately up there with the best of our time !!!

  • Beautiful song!! The 80's rocked.

  • still does

  • This is one of my favorites from Tears For Fears. Thanks for posting!

  • a quick drop-by.. ty for uploading this :) roland seems to like the phrase "resign oneself to..." and when he says it in the song, he's so poetic(his beautiful voice also bears witness to it, i think) once again thank you:)

  • this is the version with Curt. Roland's is subsequently titled, "I Believe (A soulful re-recording)" and is avaliable on the 21st century master's edition.

  • actually you know what? I've heard this song probably over 100 times and always thought it was Curt, but it actaully sounds like Roland trying to sing like Curt. It's really hard to tell. Sorry if I'm wrong. Anybody know for sure?

  • Roland, definitely

  • It's actually Roland on both the versions! But I can understand the confusion. Here Roland sounds very much like Curt. Who knows probably it was done deliberately?

  • Oh THANKS SO MUCH for posting this! This is the first complete "I Believe" on Youtube! The video is here, but it got cut off early. I love how Roland sings in this song, it fits the instruments perfectly...and I don't know I can't explain it LOL.
