This band is amazing. Different and completely talented. If anyone talks shit about them try finding your root notes and runs on this song. Try to play it . The bass line is Jane's addiction/Led Zeppelin esque, the keyboard vocal melody a la queen and the pattern brilliant . Don't fuck
80's music had the charm of synthesizers, harps, keyboard chords and pedaled up vocals. Really its actually found in todays retro music, but Head over Heels is one of those songs which mixes the heavy vocals into the beauty of smooth simple down to earth swinging fun music. Tears for Fears. :-)
I really miss songs like this. Songs these days just DO NOT have the same quality as 80's early 90's songs. With the exception of a few bands though...
cara essa musica e tudo pra mim!! jamais esquecerei tudo que passei na quela noite inesquecivel ao lado do amor da minha vida !!tendo apenas essa cançao como testemunha!!
yeah this song was actually written to mean something , which is a lost art these days , some artists now do it but its not as common as it once was we miss you 80's ! , if i only had a time machine id live the 80's and 90's over and over.
tears for fears are beyond the category of "artists" they are Tears for Fears and they can say whatever they please, lol... though, I agree he says "do" or "could" but not "dude"
sounds like he fucked up but looking at his facial expression looks like Mercury records decided to keep it becuase it might of been his best out take.
considering that the artists don't typically sing in music videos, but rather lip synch to a track being played while filming, it's highly unlikely that he said "dude".
he may have lip synched "dude", but on the originally recorded track he says "do i need you this much". therefore, in the video, he "says" *do*.
@alice7843 ...But moomoo1337 wasn't attacking the song, just his reasons why the librarian was miffed with him!...also his analogy is wrongg anyway because his how to pick up chicks 101 works, 'cos they're old n married at the end!!...funny how...time...FLIES!!
I have always liked tears for fears. I don't really know how anyone could NOT like Radiohead though. Maybe you should keep you opinions to yourself hucster20
@Radioheadinmy head... that's the point, radiohead doesn't propose anything that represents anything other the random ideas from Yorke&Co's heads... music represents who YOU are, and radiohead doesn't represent what i like, and yea, i dislike them i believe they are overrated and overindulging in their own existence
No wonder she doesn't like him, he dumps craploads of books on her desk, sings in her face, gets his stalker looking friend to play keyboard at her and then wrecks the place.
i dont know about all of you, but i get the sensation that Tears for Fears was the if not one of the first bands to present beautiful music based on self-discover and personal growth... Sort of along the lines of The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, and nowadays the notorious Radiohead (i hate that band)
I'm only 14, but when I was a baby my mother always listened to Tears For Fears and other 80's bands. How can I say.. This kind of music has always been in my blood ^^
wnat great music back? stop watching sh** like x factor, which sting [from the police] described as karaoke!! see the real bands struggling in bar, pubs and other venues! the best 80's bands busted their ass man!!!
I call it how I see it. When I first saw this thread I saw people bashing the youth for liking songs from the 80's. Claiming they were a product of the 80's when actually they were too damn young for the 80's (I'm mid 30's). So its ok for them to like it but not the younger generation? thats hypocritical. nuff said!
I'm 28 and remember tons of 80's songs very well so I pretty much grew up with this music. You dont have to have been born in the 70's to remember this stuff, as long as its before '85 I think. I was born in '81.
I don't understand people who diss people from the '90's /2000's who decry the fact that their generation's music is shit & they wished they were around in the '80's also. Us '80's people should be proud that those who followed in subsequent decades also realise what a magical decade it was [which many of us saw more clearly after it was gone!!...including me!!]. Increase the tribe man...!
You can claim to like it but don't claim it as your era if it isn't....so stop bashing kids who like it cause they are in the same boat you are. Its not your era, its not there era. Stop shiting on these kids for liking a few songs. That would make you a hypocrite.
It makes me upset when people put down others for music they like, just because they weren't around when the song was released, or when the band was active.
I understand where you are coming from, though, saying that a lot of my generation will promote the bands to look "cool", but that's a generalization. There are many of us who appreciate it.
ANYWAYS, this song has been stuck in my head ALL day!
