Tears for Fears- Head Over Heels and Broken

[eatssports92]

DOnnie D!



[windell0121]

Classic Stuf ...How classic? Cash Money and Marvelous used the piano intro to one the their tracks back in the day....Goes to show, that good music touches everyone-even in to early days of hip hop when nobodys 9mm was loaded yet..

[sidaolubi]

A MELODIA DESTA MUSICA É MUITO BONITA (a brazilian)

[4991Retrac]

This was one Donnie Darko? I don't even remember...

[purpleyurp]

@4991Retrac the firat part when it shows the school

[livelifefree666]

@4991Retrac It was the very first song in the very beginning. With the montage of his family and stuff.

[1Widfara1]

awesome tune. check out U2, maybe Bad, along with a few chosen others(Simple Minds springs to memory), they ruled the 80's

[elosogolososoyyo]

tiiiiiiimeeeeee fLiieeeeeeeees!" that´s a fact.... i remember this when i was a little kid, and tomorrow i get married...

[TheDanicaVlog]

I wanna sing this & one other song for my school talent show :3

[uchihamadara1997]

Best Music Ever from Tears for Fears *¬*

[mzmymarie81]

[fakepasswordtinker]

[ebenygraves]

[riababexx]

lol i only know this song cus of donnie darko

[GrimmReaperess]

This song gives me the fuzziest feeling inside. I'm glad my car is mostly soundproof or else everyone would hear me singing this (very badly).

[TECKMASSE]

God is Great, THX

[bretthejet60]

What ever happened to these guys. They were pretty damn good, for a 80s band.

[odiemodie1]

There is such a magical and something of childhood innocence when I hear this song, when you first fall in love with someone who to you was very special, who meant everything to you... a lifetime of wonderment to be 'till the last of your days... that we were meant to be together... painfully, I missed that opportunity by not being brave enough to take that moment of happiness...a moment now long gone... now I can only recall and wonder what could have been... what should have been...

[sexypotterhead]

@odiemodie1 oh, that's hard, but don't obsess over what could have been and should have been.. appreciate the people who love you and what you have.. <3

[Olito70]

When I was 12 or 13 I used to listen to this time after time trying to follow the drums. To me this song is magic.

[goalykid69]

love this song and watching donnie darko reminded me bout it haha

[racingirl1595]

Thanks for posting! I used to have this album and have always thought Head Over Heels was lacking something without Broken at the end. I've been looking for this complete song for a long time...thanks again.

[KungPowMeow]

@racingirl1595 you're right, it does! you're welcome

[Ramonzinho1931]

ADORO ESSA MÚSICA ELA E ROMANTICA DEMAIS

EU PENSO DA MENINA QUE EU GOSTO

ESSA E PARA TI JHENY

[4776yankee]

i dunno racingirl, i kinda think broken fucks it up at the end... two totally different songs u know?????

[racingirl1595]

@4776yankee - This is the version I listened to all the time, so I guess I just got used to hearing it this way. I love the ending.

[KungPowMeow]

@LoveWillFindYou11 Roland is beautiful :) I'm naming my first son after him

[ThatCatGirlThing]

I actually wish music still sounded like this. :-/

[KungPowMeow]

@ThatCatGirlThing better times fer sure :/ so happy I found them tho!

[ThatCatGirlThing]

@KungPowMeow Likewise!!

[kayzi17]

great era for music, and they were so underated

[4776yankee]

damn i m iss the eighties.... this song was the epitome of that era.... now todays music consists of smoking crack, joining a gang or being  a fucking bonehead

[xANARCHYxMEGHYx]

This song reminds me of Martha's Vineyard. (i'm so happy my dad let me grow up on 80's music.)

[ThisIsMyFakeName100]

like if Donnie Darko brought you here! :)

[HalfVampireHalfChic]

A brilliant song from a much overlooked album ...cheers!

[1968lucille]

Class of 86!!!!! They were on the best!!!!! God, I wish I could go back, just for a week!!!!! Best times, miss it so bad!!!!!! :( Alicia, from Michigan!!!

[AfroPunkprincess]

O.o!!! They must be pretty good live because I thought it was studio verson.

WOW!!!=DDD

BEAUTIFUL!!!

probably one of my top favorites, if not my ABSOLUTE favorites of theirs.=3

I could cry it's so beautifulY^Y

[KungPowMeow]

@AfroPunkprincess I think it is! :) "Broken" at the end was probably live though but they just meshed these two together

[AfroPunkprincess]

@KungPowMeow well, it was a good finish to the song.=3

[KungPowMeow]

@AfroPunkprincess yeah!

[str8uphardychick]

Everybody Hates Chris's Everybody Hates Bigbird episode brought me here. :D

[slayer1807]

Love this song!!!!!!!!

[MultiFlower37]

fave tears for fears of all time

[Icabodhorstman0801]

@TheGoingballistic The best suggestion I have is to get every record this group has made. TFF's music has always spoken to me and got me through hard times. When you listen to their stuff I think you'll know what I mean. That's the best help I can give. Peace bro! :)

[TheGoingballistic]

listened to this tune in my garage on my cd player till my grandma kicked the door open and took my cd player and smashed it and then she beat the crap out of me gave me 2 black eyes she told me if i dont kill myself tonight she'll do it herserlf! shes high off drugs tho and my dad doesnt care cause he never sleep because of the black neighbors next door who blast the rap music can someone help me please??? i just want to listen to my tears for fears :(

[sexypotterhead]

@TheGoingballistic that's pretty fucked up

[robotcop7]

@TheGoingballistic Nice childhood bro lol!

[KodeLiMe]

Wanna hear something even more beautiful? Listen to The Working Hour from this album. Mmmm....

[ascgard]

My ginger angel used to do that, even today, after 26 years. LUV U G.A:

[redsomister]

There's something special and beautiful about this song, love it!

[enriquetheprofessor]

@redsomister ......I soooo agree!! ITS MAGIC.

[smariscal26]

[IfIwasarichgirl13]

One of the best songs ever!!!

[DiCam3667]

THE BEST! Anyone who doesnt totally love this tune is tone deaf and doesnt have a clue what great music is. THANKS FOR SHARING THIS! I met my husband to this song. And we married to it. 20 years later and totally in love I just get chills when I hear it. Thanks for the memories

[mrfrogbutt1]

@DiCam3667 Anyone who doesnt like this song is an IDIOT! and deserves to suck a fuck!

[maxiv41]

[aries4961]

[ILLESTBALLER100]

@aries4961 they are still together,i went to thier concert last august

[beowulven]

@aries4961

Just saw them live, going to see them in Vegas next month!

[xCarolenne]

I love this song. <3

[Phantomjudg3]

I blame American Idol for the constant influx of crap music nowadays, How about awarding innovation and originality instead of re-hashing the same drab sound again and again

[Frottagecub]

@Phantomjudg3 this song came out when I was elementary school back in 1980s... i'm in my mid 30s now... ummmm, why is American Idol dictating anything ....  this is old school in it's own way

[damespartan117]

And talk about the weather....

[auryn684]

All time favorite song! I love Tears for Fears

[thatkidsmokin]

@auryn684 x2 love tears for fears! wasnt this song about a librarian he had a crush on or something?

[aripatrice]

this is my favorite sing in the whole world damn this was music :)

[bryanlynne]

@aripatrice Mine, too. This started a very long love affair when I heard this song. I got to see them in concert 20 years ago and in August. They are are still awesome!!!!

[jimbobubbadj]

Great Tune!

[1122337890]

un pezzo da paura!

[T4Fpurson]

Saw these guys July 2009 :D

[MultiCreativemind]

Courageous creative music...not predictable and keeps me surpised by its originalness. I like thier ability to come from ten places at once musically and artistically. Not your typical broken hearted song....its poetic and keeps me moving into my imagination towards new images in my mind....musically its is ever new.

[bryanlynne]

@MultiCreativemind You put into words what I could never seem to say to describe TFF. Such beautiful songs, lyrics and music. Some of their best songs are on the albums and were never released as singles. I hope you have the collection and listen to them over and over again. I do. Right now two of my cd's are stuck in my car and I can't get them out. I'm so bummed.

[cbfeeling]

The reprise at the end was in fact recorded live in London, December 1983. You can see it in a concert video released prior to this album.

[magicwanddd]

something happens and I'm head over heels

I never find out I am head over heeeeeeels

[Big2thaTony]

anywhere I can upload this?

[KungPowMeow]

@Big2thaTony I left the embedding code thing on

[Big2thaTony]

@KungPowMeow Alright! Thanks a bunch!

[KungPowMeow]

@Big2thaTony no prob!

[johnkandultraseven]

@Big2thaTony You can upload this on napster or get the cd.

[isobella50]

Saw these guys in April 2010 Awsome!

[geauxu2]

The studio version of Head over Heels then transitions to the 'LIVE" version of Broken, which was recorded from this performance listed in this video as December of 1983. Listen at the end of the video, when they transition back to Broken, it is this version that appears on the Songs from the Big Chair album. A little "sweetening" and tweaking is done from the live version (such as the vocals at the end of Head over Heels..."funny how...time fliiieeeeesss..."

[geauxu2]

@geauxu2 To listen, go to the video Head over Heels by Tears for Fears, 1983..

[KungPowMeow]

@geauxu2 wow, barely 1983! haha. Kudos tho, I had no idea

[KungPowMeow]

@geauxu2 1983? Very odd. They were still in "The Hurting" era then. And Broken doesn't really use synths. Are you sure it wasn't a little later, like maybe 1984? Anyways, I think it was recorded in '85 because it was released w/ SFTBC and did not come out as a single ever. I believe it about the tweaking. It would explain the transition of the audience cheering into the track "Listen" which comes right after "Broken".

[geauxu2]

@KungPowMeow the timing may seem a little early, but in the video of the concert in Dec. 1983, they talk about a couple of "new songs" and then go into HoH and Broken...I can't confirm if it is 83 or not, but that is how it is listed here on YouTube. 83/84/85 no matter, still a great group of songs!

[KungPowMeow]

@geauxu2 Yeah, I dunno. Roland's hair in that video is a little different then it was in '85. So it makes me think it could be the end of '84 but I dunno! haha

[jimbobubbadj]

@geauxu2 Wikipedia says July 1985.

[bryanlynne]

@jimbobubbadj don't trust Wikipedia

[KungPowMeow]

@isobella50

[DAVO1984FI]

What a beautifull song!!!!

Bravi!!!!!

[jamezheart]

Great fucking song ... great talent !!

[KungPowMeow]

@jamezheart

Absolutely! My two favorite guys of all time haha

[blitzcraig1984]

dude. i dont care what it is or isnt. love this damn song. both to be exact. especially together like this. its great. thanks for putting it up

[KungPowMeow]

You're very welcome :]

[RimaZarTe]

BROKEN was live, not head over heels

[KungPowMeow]

I sort of doubt that. The Broken on here sounds remarkably like the one Roland and Curt recorded in the studio. And from all the performances I've seen, TFF has a very distinct sound when they play live. Maybe the whole performance was just synced and was technically "live"? Who knows. Although I also find it odd they would mix in a live performance with a song recorded in the studio.

But that's just me :)
