Tears for Fears - The Hurting

[movieman695]

Great first song to an incredible album, and this performance of it was outstanding

[mgscomics]

INCRIVEL

AMO TEARS FOR FEARS

[blujay1337]

My god what happened to music these days???????

[breath888]

I remember taping their concert off the radio (King Biscuit Flour Hour) and playing it countless times. I just loved their arrangements and vocals. Amazing album, amazing live performance.

[aaronp01]

Could you please explain The Hurting?

[SuperMCCLICK]

The two who dislike this had better check for a pulse.

[SuperMCCLICK]

TFF were always underrated as songwriters and performers by the media. (NME etc, - you should be ashamed!) We appreciated their talent, and still do. TFF's music is way better than the processed recycled crap the kids of today are fed.

[miamisound100]

this is alll goood... nice voices...

[glasfurd31]

That sax was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf

[VisceralVoids]

This is Tears For Fears the way it was meant to be:

Orzabal-Smth-Stanley-Holland-E­lias

[marcelopdf]

@VisceralVoids and William...!!! we need sax! IoI

[Mantcer]

Yes, this song is so complex in ryhtm and scales, but it´s so awesome when talented musicians compose those elements in this masterpiece. For me, who loves TFF and the most of their hits, this is their best song ever.

[pocketgoth]

They will never cease to amaze me. To write such a complex song and perform it so perfectly - just freaking amazing! It could be the album track, but it isn't. I must have watched this VHS/DVD/Youtube clip 1,000 times and it it's still mind boggling. Every performance on it is perfection.

[samsungdart]

TFF did a performance live via satellite around 1985 New Years Eve on Dick Clark's rockin' show. they sung Shout if i remember correctly. they wore all black. does anyone have that performance in video? if yes please post it....tnx

[movieman695]

roland has such a great, powerful baritone voice

[Yearofthebunny63]

TFF brings back many great memories I will never forget as long as I live : )

[jemmojemmo]

Manny Elias - great drummer - really put some cool beats down with the TFF boys.

[angusthekat]

can't wait til x-factor... fuck, music sucks today....

[thebeatlespaulluv]

curt is SO CUTE

[TFF9713]

TFF RULES!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!! AMAZING!!!

[ZephyrShez]

I adore this song mostly because they both sing it. There's something about when they sing together that's magic :3

[rossdeluxe]

Good Sound.

I Love Roland!

[DjICEbrooklynNYC]

Makes me feel like i'm back in the 80's the good old days when America was United.

[jumhed]

Superb tune!

Their 'Best Of' and 'Greatest Hits' albums miss too many songs. They fail.

[pocketgoth]

@jumhed Yes. When friends tell me they want TFF Greatest Hits I caution them that if they go that route they will miss too much of the really good stuff. You have to at least buy the first two albums. Not that the rest aren't good, but the first two albums are completely gold. There isn't one song on either that I don't absolutely love every note on.

[TsugaruClan]

@pocketgoth I fully agree. There are some great TFF songs that never were made a single, never received a video, nor ever charted. "Me and My Big Ideas" from "Raoul and the Kings of Spain" and "Fish Out of Water" from "Elemental" are just two of them. They'll likely never be seen on any TFF compilation, but they're as good, or even better, than any of their hits.

[cirus101]

rock that bass Curt...Yeah man...its 1984 again...bring it on people...TFF never dies...tnx Youtubers..ur all LEGENDS

[cirus101]

TFF rules...

[cirus101]

TFF RULES

[T4Fpurson]

@Wildernessbirchridge Lol XD

[rafacopinho]

so good..

[MMAFedor71]

I LOVE THIS ALBUM FCKEN AWSOME.

[desson40]

ya...ba..da...ba..dooooo

[hexfix93]

Very under rated lp and song.

[assman10x]

I have forgotten how much I love this band-thanks for the post

[42agm]

Hoje 15,amanhã 30,e assim por diante tendo boas músicas o tempo fica melhor.MGA

[pops515]

Finger point, 0:42

[Erpanot]

Great song

[IIIIdepechemodeIIII]

the first three songs on this lp/cd were killer.

[pocketgoth]

@IIIIdepechemodeIIII No. You have it wrong. This entire lp was killer. ;o)

[calimero1982]

how intelligent. and creative

miss this great melodies today

[thenezz]

Nicky Holland is so beautiful. She hasn't changed a bit since. I wish you could hear her vocals more in this. The most under rated band. Glad their back together.

[BlackSkyThunder]

80´s seems to be some kind of stranger in music history, those melodies so soft, elegant, original and harmonious!! I always love listening these melodies in my reflexive periods, preferably in autumn, sometimes I wonder where they get inspiration...

[xipaul]

elles sont trop bizarre la basses xD

[nikosretsos]

chris hughes! magnificent drummer!

[ajittffcure]

@nikosretsos- Chris Hughes is a magnificent drummer indeed and also a great producer. But the drummer here is the fabulous Manny Elias.

[RATIO3533]

Where was this concert? Kingswood at Canada's Wonderland? Truly epic song and incredible album all round

[18you18]

@RATIO3533 if it was May 1985 in Toronto it was at Massey Hall

[CelesteK]

@RATIO3533 No it was at Massey Hall.

[dew23553]

great vid,great group,please bring back the 80s, tears for fears are and will always be top of the pops

[fergsnando]

Just LOVE this............ Curt is so CUTE I can hardly stand it. Had posters of them all over my walls in the first place I lived in when I moved out of home.

[hucster20]

I'm going to get Orzabal's hairstyle and cool sweater. This is because i want to know how it feels to be a bad@ss!!!!! TFF rules, (as I laugh, but yet keep thinking about that cool hairstyle?)

[duchessodoom]

@hucster20 dude if you get rolands badass mullet and sweater combo... be prepared to be a lady magnet

[OnlyByTheNight5]

AMAZING !!

[melissastrawbridge]

OOOHMIGOSH this is the first time I have heard this song by them- so glad I looked it up finally- love it!! :D :D :D

[hucster20]

TFF = intense emotions, creativity, self-control, desire, amazingness.

The Hurting is the album that gave the band a face, but all of their albums are magnificent, from Songs from the Big Chair to Saturnine Martial and Lunatic to Elemental, it keeps going.

[carlitostrigueiro]

2:28

[melissastrawbridge]

Love it!! :)

[MishuTaste]

TFF music seems very cathartic.

[ajittffcure]

The shot between 1:54 and 1:57 is pure class! This album is arguably the greatest TFF album because it truly is an embodiment to what their music is essentially about.

[carlosalbertotriguei]

Do caralho esse baixo!

[greygooseification]

Is that eyeliner, Roland?

It was the 80's--you get a pass.

[cosmicgalaxy]

Haahhahahahahh!!! HAhahah!!!

[chrisredditch]

I saw TFF on this tour at The Birmingham (UK) Odeon. Roland is the coolest man in the world and a fine singer!!

[cometoanend]

this song has a beautiful bass line

[vior4ever]

Sure does cometoanend...TFF songs all have great bass line...i like that of Pale Shelter the most!

[ritienne17]

this is such an under rated song!the music ;Roland and Curt wrote this when they were 21!the line "touch the hurt and dont let go....." keeping all those painful memories hidden will only mean you never get over it.that is so very true!

[cometoanend]

wow, this is the first time I've heard this song. I've liked tears for fears since I first entered my teens, which was a little more than 10 yrs ago. And I still like them. But I've never heard this song before. Does anyone even realize the complexity of this song? Its genius, a work of their finest art! Amazing music, as expected from them! This is now one of my all time favourite tears for fears songs! I also like "Mad World", it's my autistic anthem..pretty much my biography in a song.

[vior4ever]

you are right cometoanend...that is what so especial about TFF, their songs are always thought of and each one has deep meaning in it that just pierce through your heart and soul...Tears for Fears are geniuses and their songs are nothing but masterpieces!

[WheezerK9]

I've been fortunate enough to have been a fan of TFF since the early 80's and this was always one of my favorites!!! AUDIO PERFECTION!!!!

[cosmicgalaxy]

Amen.

[cosmicgalaxy]

This is my favourite TFF song ever. Everything about it, every single part of it is just amazing. I especially like the break in the middle. Wow. Im 18 now and just came across them a couple of months ago after seeing the Sowing The Seeds Of Love video on tele-which was weird, since they NEVER play TFF..hehe

[webwezal]

I have this DVD. I have always been into this band. The bass line is great. I think it's great how their movement & voices are so nsync. They did not do this song this past summer during the concerts but the one I went to was great.they were def nsync and having a blast. hope you get a chance to see them next summer. They are wanting to do some shows at that time - dates pending Curt Smith keeps us up to date so far. Just go to his website, he will give the info as he pleases. He's a cool guy.

[ritienne17]

im singing along to this and crying.....

[vior4ever]

ritienne...this is really a touching song ;-(

[cometoanend]

vior4ever is a true tears for fears fan

[vior4ever]

thanks cometoanend...I've just been reintroduced to this great duo about two months ago and never let go...I was familiar with their song when i was young, but never really appreciate their greatness till well, after hearing Adam Lambert's take on Mad World...and just had to re-discover TFF myself...and happy that i did :-)

[cometoanend]

do not cry, nothing is as it seems...nothing

[vior4ever]

Won't get tired of watching any TFF videos. They are just worth watching over and over again<3

[pupcake79]

Great performance! Oh I just love Curt and Roland to pieces! <3 <3

[vior4ever]

I second that,  pupcake79 :-D

[vior4ever]

very nice indeed...nice combination of two very special vocals. 5*

[depechemodevilla]

Great performance. better than watching HIgh School Msical

[Shadwell01]

Sublime performance,

They sure nailed this track big style

[Zeldaartist]

been fan of these pepole since i was 6 years old, the first song was this one on the television molther was watching it. then about a week later i came across the hurting. it seemed to soothe me mentaly (bad homelife..very) has ever since. now im 15 years old. i have drawn these peole curt and roland for many years and i get alot of support for it. want to see? check my youtube page - background it is knowhere near my best. i love tears for fears, i would love the support of whoever reads this.

[WheezerK9]

Wow,they had the harmonies absolutely perfect.Enough to give ya chills!!

[CelesteK]

The alto and bass rythms in this song are excellent.

Curt and Roland were just meant to play this song.

[dizzymisslizzylane]

The hurrrrrr

Hurrrrrrr

Hurrrrrr

:D

[Zeldaartist]

S.F.T.B.C

[juuu787]

Oh, Gosh! This video Rocks. It's so great... =)

[T4Fpurson]

Encore! Encore! One Of My Faves.

[Sezzabella1]

I like the way they are moving their guitars in sync. Hehe. But this song makes u want to do this. the beat is so strong and u just have to move to it! I love it!

[swetbabo]

I never noticed that before. And I must have seen this 100 times! Very cool!

Love this DVD!

[Mastersheer]

You have this on dvd??? I got it when it came out on vhs, okay, gave away my age :D... signing off and running to get the dvd. Thanks!

[winthorp35]

they are just great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[silvanaaaaaaaa]

Me encanta!!!! T.F.F!

[MHayes85]

This has to be the greatist video of them live.

[NelsonClick]

This is a brilliant song! Notice how all the little melodic and rhythmic motives introduced in the intro, verse and chorus are repeated at the end and blend so harmoniously. They make it sound simple and easy but that's difficult to write. They expanded on this later with Head over Heals which is even more complex. These are rare qualities in pop music.

[ajittffcure]

Yes, you are absolutely right about whatever you mentioned. There are many people who overlook these facts and simply make fun of them for some mundane reasons. Even in their few seemingly simple melodic structures and rhythmic patterns, there are so many strands attached to them that only they themselves can truly re-create. They are very articulate yet intricate and magical musicians.

[osius456]

este video de tears for fears es un gran divdeo les recomiendo comprar el disco y este video de las scenes from the big chair igual los demas discos desde la era de curt smith

[lemonostiftis]

well, that's great
