this song is THE hardest to drum. I decided. The time changes, the almost improv nature of the change, 1:27 to 1:35 is one example. Please tell me what that was in case i missed it.
@myleftearful Your observations seem uniquely insightful - why is that? Are you an insider, maybe on the production staff or one of the road crew? Got any good stories about working with TFF? Please, share!
If an alien came down to earth and saw Tears for Fears perform this song at this concert,...they would go home and say "Human beings are the most awesome beings in the universe"
Who is that backup singer lady in the bicycle shorts who seems to think the whole show is about her? Kinda off-putting. That, along with all the annoying Cerebral-Palsy-School-Of-Cinematography editing do detract from things, but the show is so great that this is still a keeper - yay!
I have listened to various tracks from tears for fears for years, only having the best of album...i was listening to this track for the first time a couple of weeks ago...just amazing...if all music was this good....ive played it again and again...would just love to see them in concert...come on guys, where are you?! expressed perception
Why does music suck today ! I mean Roland made this tunee with Oleta Adams back in 1989... isn´t it time we´d demand sometihing better than the SHITE we are fed today ? Lady Gaga... Katy Perry ?!! Fuck me I wish I was deaf....:)
PHENOMENAL !!! best live track ever for me ! they are all so perfect, what musicians!!! and Orzabal is a pure genius here wowwwwwwww am still shocked years after...Had the opportunity to see them in live in Paris ! miss this period... <3 !!!
This song moves me to tears...man, I feel it in my bones. I love legendary artists like Tears For Fears...my soul was blessed to have been in there presence live. I've been to a lot of concerts, but none made me feel like TFF! Love you Curt and Roland.
Roland and Oleta's voices are as near to perfect as voices can be. Roland is mesmerizing!! I could watch him for hours..... **sigh** I think that the fact that he's been married for so long makes him ever so much more attractive (in addition to his God-given talent, of course!)
OMG!!!!!!!!!!! HEAVEN ON EARTH!!! LOVE IT LOVE IT! RU KIDDIN ME? 2 dislikes?? whatz up wit dat?
