CANTAO MUITOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!

[TheLeilani32]

I think he is saying that to effect any change we have to start from scratch, Stop all the pollution, negative impacts on the environment, global warming and above all man's inhumanity to man. we just need to start over. Think about what we do and how it will affect something or someone down the line. Stop thinking about the $1 it's costing you now and think about the $2 you might be saving later on. Re-vamp your thinking, no racism, religious intolerance or any nonsense like that.

[2007kaikane]

AMEN.....You said it all!!!Peace and Alohaaaaa!!El Tigre'2009

[wills645]

Man, This song just drives you.... Possitive music.....Hard to find these days.....

[ovejadesion]

Please Please Please, Never Never Never Stop Roland!!!!!

[vmkSAVAGEGUY]

i have been sitting on a time bomb for a very long time, and i will carry the burden of my childhood for life, but i can make it turn out a positive by teaching my children the importance of hard work, and Determination. and never giving up on your partner, or your children. it will be the legacy i leave for them =] . maybe that was just my destiny! so that they may not suffer as i have =]

[vmkSAVAGEGUY]

i get very angry when i hear this song, but it also makes tears run down my face, and reinforces my determination to change my past and make things better for my children =]

[vmkSAVAGEGUY]

i came from a very confusing and tragic childhood, and i think when he sings, " break it down ", stand tall like a Man, get strong like a Horse! i think he is saying you have to overcome your short comings! and " break it down ".

but that is what this song is to me! getting it right!

and changing a bad cycle that has been handed down to you. you need to, for your kids sake. and that is who i am, a very Determined hurting human being who is Determined to make the change for his children =]

[JISINSANE]

OMG, I forgot MTV used to actually play music! And good music. Now they don't play shit and if and when they do the shit they play considered music is pure shit.

[chris7777777777777]

I had to share this in Facebook. LOVE THIS SONG! heard it for the first time in years.

[SusieYeah33]

ha yeah I shared it on my facebook too! a few months ago I LOVE IT

[WAIATA4U]

Suddenly, it's the Summer of 1993 and I'm taking a summer class at San Jose City College...This song was played constantly on LIVE 105, next to all the other good songs of the time....They don't write good songs like this, anymore.

[SusieYeah33]

my favorite 90's song :)

[marquim196]

musicão,muito bonita,muito dançante da época.

[freddj123]

They must have used Google Earth when they made this!

[CelesteK]

Google Earth didn't exist in 1993!

[sylverspice]

The best song of 1993 bar none!

[arstzen]

it reminds me when i was a kid...a long tome ago, lol. Thanks for the song.

WHEN THIS SONG WAS OUT ? WHICH YEAR ?

[CelesteK]

1993- Post break up with Curt.

[sunshinegirl1967]

I remember one radio host joking about the group being Tear For Fear, not Tears For Fears after the breakup.

[discolemonade66]

Let me tell you all, these songs from T4F are literally bringing tears to my eyes.

I don't think I am reliving my youth but rather my age has reminded me that it still exists.

[newmansman]

the only "celebrities" that are over paid are congressmen, senators and actors

[MrJohnnyrace]

These guy have GENIUS !!

[AbOGa666]

good memories!! nice video!!

[CelesteK]

What the hell was that for?

[Bullfrog91945]

What was WHAT for?

[CelesteK]

People are thumbing me down for no reason other than I was explaining something about Curt to someone and I got a -2 for it.

[Bullfrog91945]

I see now. Well, in regards to your comment, I heartily agree with you. As I stated before, people expect celebrities to pander just to them, and don't seem to realize that these people have families and commitments outside of their careers, just like anybody else. Celebrities are not robots, and should not be treated as such, being expected to stop on a dime and perform. People should be happy that they have made such great music in the first place, and should stop whining if they need a break.

[CelesteK]

Yes. Exactly. :)

[KungPowMeow]

Yeah, Celeste, that was ridiculous. I don't always agree with you but you were just telling it how it is! Sheesh, haha.

[doompudding1]

These guys are playing a few shows on the west coast this summer. Why can't they give a full US Tour? Hey Guys you listening America wants you to hit the friggin' road already, We have waited long enough! Make it happen! Get it!

[CelesteK]

Well, Curt has two young daughters and he doesn't like being away from them for long periods of time so touring has to center around his children and how much time he has to spend with them.

[Bullfrog91945]

I know what you mean. It seems that nowadays, people expect celebrities to pander just to them, and don't seem to realize that these people have families and commitments outside of their careers, just like everybody else. Celebrities are not robots, and should not be treated as such, being expected to stop on a dime and perform

[leftdust]

RS called this one of the best pop songs ever written - it is - should have been a #1 hit.

[Bullfrog91945]

To all those who deny that he says Force, I will tell you to do one thing. Listen when he says: "So those are my schemes, And these are my plans, Hot tips for the boys, FRESH NEWS FROM THE FORCE!!!!

[TriumVirateABAP]

Sometimes our friends say to us: "You are such a pain in the neck', I wonder what they meant? When you are in general related somehow but then one's friends discover that you have other features and ways that are unique they wonder where they stand, but why? You know them they know you and yet they actually thought other secret stuff that they should have confessed

[TriumVirateABAP]

Maybe this is when one is called a CLIENT of another but still keep their own identity. In other words they are part of the same general trunk, just another branch.

Does this make sense?

Sometimes we think WE are the trunk and come to find out THEY are the tyrunk and so one's concept and respect changes to learn others have carried us or held the burden of continual forgiveness to accomodate a ground from which to stand. . . How sweet are our friends!

~Do you know your friends???

[SusieYeah33]

a favorite 90's song love it so much

[newmansman]

is it headstrong or get strong ... like a horse

[thesunandtherain]

headstrong

[CaptRavenous]

"...stand tall like a man, yet strong like a horse...."

[WAIATA4U]

Ahhhh! This takes me back to my junior college days at San Jose City back in the summer of 1993. When songs like this were cool!

[CelesteK]

It was highschool for me. :)

[happymike44]

This was filmed in the Salton Sea and if you look in the background it clearly shows how bad the pollution is for the region.

Now the place is a rotten cesspool due to mexico dumping it sewage in it.

New world order at work.

[stargeo]

BUEN DATO GRAX!

[Jetstorm4]

One of the greatest songs of all time

[sgtricardo2009]

Excelente, é sempre bom reviver o passado através das boas músicas!!!!!!!!

[asskicker54]

this song is the fucking shat!!!

(in a good way)

[fariasII]

Boas musicas e artista dos anos 80....

[terainfo]

So these are my schemes

And these are my plans

Hot tips for the boys

Fresh news from the force

[Bullfrog91945]

I wonder.....is that the Dark Side of the Force or the Light Side of the Force?

[chuninofcool]

good question.

[bobaflashgordon]

Neither, because he's not saying force.

[CelesteK]

It's "stand tall like a man; headstrong like a horse."

[Bullfrog91945]

Oh yeah, bobaflashgordon? And what about the verses "So those are my schemes, And these are my plans, Hot tips for the boys, FRESH NEWS FROM THE FORCE!!!! WHAT'S YOUR ANSWER ON THAT, HOTSHOT?!?!?!?!?!?!

[CelesteK]

It's "hot tips for the boys; fresh news from the force."

[Bullfrog91945]

Thank you. My point exactly.

[neogarcia79]

the best music and every times, tanks tears for fears, go to brazil please!!!!!!

[crimsonjenni]

I heard one of the band members was from Bath England. I twisted my bf's arm to take me to Bath while in England just so I could say I walked where they did.....yes I am a loyal fan.

[bigleroygym]

cool story :)) have a nice day

[ToraGahan]

This came out when I was 12 or 13. I thought this ablum and song were mind-blowing, even at that age. Roland is a gorgeous singer, and this is also a good songe to play at the gym. thanks for the post - took me forever to find this video!

[CelesteK]

I was 15 and even though I didn't care very much that it was just Roland on his own this song is pretty catchy. :)

[nadoanacleto]

Tanto clipe quanto a música são show de bola!! Esse som é de 1992

[BrokeMoFo]

Just makes me want to get the hell up and go do something, just a really motivating song for some reason...

[thebeanooo]

Ditto!

[jjrrhh1983]

i cant get enough of this song i cant get enough of tears of fears they are great.

[frazobe]

This is simply a great song. Maybe not their best, not the most melodic, or even the most ground breaking. But it is just simply an awesome song. One of my favorites.

[krillin876]

when do they come to nyc

[CelesteK]

Well, Curt lives in Los Angeles with his wife and his daughters so the chances that he's willing to leave them to travel out east are almost slim and nill.

[nilshollgerson]

this song rocks! i fuckin' love it, its one of their best.. But 1# is "Mad world" ofcourse!!

[kjnasheville]

I thought this song was briiliant!

[CelesteK]

Break It Down Again was okay for its time but it wasn't quite as melodic as it was when Curt was the bass player.

I'm like Curt in that I like bass players that incorporate melodies into their music and he does that.

I'm happy that they got back together again and are touring this summer.

[brooksteer]

so those are my schemes, and these are my plans,

hot tips for the boys, .....

[CelesteK]

Pre-Sale Tickets for the July 11 show at the Portland Zoo Amphritheater go on sale this Friday at 10:00 AM Pacific time.

[shamsky4evr]

OMG!! I didn't know they were touring !!this is fabulous!!!!!!!

[CelesteK]

Sorry it's this Saturday at 10:00 AM.

[ekipidog]

good vídeo

[EccONecttioN]

someone knows if tff will gonna come to mexico??

[CelesteK]

I don't see it happening anytime soon since Curt lives in Los Angeles and has two young daughters.

[simoset2008]

the song is very nice

[smokercc]

He's Hot!!!

[jasonpfahy]

Love this song, but help me out here - what's the line at 1:45?

Break it down again

So those are my schemes

And these are my plans

?????????

Every time I hear it, it sounds to me like "I touch little boys". :D

[CelesteK]

No it's "Hot tips for the boys."

[EccONecttioN]

hot tips for the boys

fresh news from the force

[bobaflashgordon]

thanks CelesteK!!!! Gonna do everything in my power to go to the july 10 show!!!!

[CelesteK]

Oh no problem bobaflashgordon. I'm trying to get my finances together to go to the shows in Socal and Nevada.

[bobaflashgordon]

have u seen ticket prices? WOW. Ive seen as high as $1200 each.

[CelesteK]

$1200? Are you sure that isn't a ticket package? The highest I've ever seen for TFF tickets is $80 at Humphrey's.

[bobaflashgordon]

ticketmaster only has 2 shows posted, so i went to other sites like stubhub, razorgator, coast to coast tickets. They have other shows posted but for way more money. Have u found tickets to the nevada show?

[CelesteK]

No, they're not on sale until April 25 according to Curt's website.

[CelesteK]

They added a new gig.

July 21, Celebrity Theater Pheonix, AZ

[bobaflashgordon]

Im going to the Vegas Show July 18. I have an extra ticket if anybody wants it.

[fabulousgal]

I love this song...it brings good memories.

[cowboysfan0]

I love this video and what an awesome singer too.

[earthalien77]

LOVE this song...the energy, beat, all of it!

[CelesteK]

Hey you nitwits! What was wrong with that comment?

[Magahlia]

I was going to the college listening to my MP4 in a old songs program of the radio 97. Suddenly this song started to play... And my hearts beat with the ritm and the energy of this beautiful song!

[climbon74]

I dig the Tears for Fears, some did not understand it at the time but what did I care I dug it deep !

[Mastersheer]

I am a long lost fan. Got lost after this wonderful album. Anybody care to share what is going on in the world of Orzabal's TFF?

[CelesteK]

He and Curt are touring this July all up and down the west coast.

[tirusq2k]

WOW!!! Thanks for the info!!!

[CelesteK]

No problem.

[nattypatty56]

what the frick????

[wolfemmpress]

I love Roland hanging off the fence!! x3

[brazzoman]

Single charts: No. 66 in Germany, UK 20, USA 25. What a shame!! Wonderful song....

[SupraSlug]

This song never gets old! Love it!!!!!!!!

[Cactusole]

His voice is just delicious.. I would marry this guy just for his voice :)

[CelesteK]

Me thinks he'd have to ask Mrs Orzabal for a divorce and I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. :)

[Mastersheer]

He is delicious indeed. It is totally okay to dream :-)

I am dreaming along.......... aaaahhh

[and9347]

One of my favorite songs of 1993.

[tzilla86]

I don't care what anyone says, Roland is hot.

He is on my Top Ten Celebrity To Do List.

[sammyslammajammaaa]

Gotta' listen to this song at least once a day.

TFF IS SO EPIC!

<3

[acastane78]

a lot of hidden meanings in this video. it takes a stab at beaurocrats, corrupt governments, impending death that awaits us all (beauty of decay), inevitability of death (all the loving won't stop the rain from falling) I think is the main theme......

[danusi23]

My favorite song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nyc1981nyc]

got 4 words for you : break it down again

[CelesteK]

Yeah! Right on!!

[chuninofcool]

amen!

[scorpisio]

great song great band but i miss the other singer!!

[CelesteK]

Yeah I missed Curt at this time too. The 1990s were a decade when I wished that Curt could have been there. However Curt wasn't very happy being in the group at this time and there was no use in Curt even being in this band when he wasn't happy. :)

[ArtieLangeLovesFags]

my bro took me to see these guys back in ot4 at the warfield- still maintains the fact kurt is a man living in womans body and that he's "seen" is vajine.....who knows- but I can tell you for certain them man on mission & california gave superb directions and earned that 5 buck, you understand.

[gabizinhabreakitdown]

My favorite!!!!!!!!!the best....the best....the best music!!!!!!kkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[CelesteK]

At 1:14. The baby in the monitors? Is that Raoul?

[CelesteK]

I thought so. The facial features on that kid are unmistakable and all Roland's.

[CelesteK]

He's not a kid anymore. Raoul just turned 18 didn't he?

[crimsonjenni]

I heard that TFF was from Bath England. When I heard that I had to see Bath. It is a beautiful city. I traveled from AL USA to see where TFF is from. I am a dedicated fan.

[trekguy]

Hey, this my fav song from Them!!!, Does anyone know where is Curt Smith in this video?

[jackcass]

Curt had left TFF in 1991 and would not begin working with Roland again until 2000.

[sengseal2]

yes, this is their best song! break it down baby,

[sengseal2]

this drummer makes the song great, he knows the meaning of the word, "fill" the words are great too~!

[maverick2you]

I believe Smith was no longer with TFF when this album hit. I think they split in '91 and Roland kept the band name and kept putting out some solid music.

[phatato]

Straightened bleached pubic hair

[CelesteK]

That's disgusting.

[zellator]

Bassist looks like Morpheus!

[Trancecoach]

The bassist looks like Meshell Ndegeocello

[vandalounge]

bu is not ndegeocello

[CelesteK]

No it's just Gail Ann Dorsey.

[doctorclu]

Looks like the video got some wear and deterorated on the shelf... oh wait, it was meant to be that way. My bad.

[FLIPYLINK]

im rollin

[ytownteddy]

Very underrated song. Good stuff.

[nothingbetter2du]

Oh thank God! In high school and all the interesting minds.... I was worried YouTube W/their banning LATELY!!

[alucard4mizorra]

quack quack quack quack

[r8then]

chuffin marvellous song!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CelesteK]

Ugh! Guys grow the fucking hell up will you?

[Biffandango]

It is very important to have a sense of who the "MainNigger" is.I bc MaiNigger

Confusing

[zipo998]

melissa stey in ur lil worl bush was 100000 beter than this nigger in 2 weeks he sold the whole country u f looser

[CelesteK]

Do you have a higher quality version of this video?

[Warrazor666]

puras mamadas

[sammyslammajammaaa]

This is a good ass song, no matter how many political connections someone wants to make to it.

[taffyspark]

This is an awsome tune, you can tell who actually wrote all the songs in this band!!!!!! This came out in the UK in 1995, and it never got played at all on the radio!! If it did you would now be looking @ a one piece outfit!!!!!!

[taffyspark]

By that I mean Curt would never have re-joined the "group"!!!! Let's make that extremely clear!!!!!

[CelesteK]

Ha-ha! Oh but he DID rejoin the group. He rejoined the group almost 9 years ago on the condition that he be allowed to spend time with his wife and daughters. :)

[taffyspark]

I'am well aware of the fact that he re-joined the group, but the fact of the matter is without Roland there would'nt be a band to re-join!!!!!!!!!

[CelesteK]

Oh yeah! I'm pretty sure that's what Roland Orzabal wants his music to be used for.

[Ladydi585]

My fav of all the Tears for Fears songs!!!

[malissasweety]

I agree are economy is crumbling no thanks to bushs dumb*ss. Than god hes gone. GO OBAMA!!!

[lachtungbaby]

that was a hilarious comment hot rod, i cracked up

[hotrod426rt]

Our economy is breaking down, thank you very much Mr. Obama for the change we can believe in. What a bunch of shit!!!

[jaynlou2007]

my bro went to school with curt

[Zendrix3]

Obama should have used this song...or put it on one of his many cd's being offered atm, lol.

[joeygn]

that is the best statement, could not have said it better myself

[EQIQQUESERA]

I've always loved them... thanks

[NikKershaw1984]

great song
