  • Incredible song - great lyrics - timeless.

  • ball of confusion by the temptations is 20-25 years older than this one. the more things change, the more they stay the same.

    as far as beatles sound...try the knickerbockers "lies" for early beatles. utopia did ok with album "deface the music" and the ruttles with parody "all you need is cash"

  • "Time to eat all your words, swallow your pride, open your eyes" So True!

  • Other groups tried to sound like the Beatles and failed. This one succeeded.

  • ito ang nuwave...

  • I've always had a soft spot in my heart for this tune ever since I first heard it as a kid back in 1989. Wow! Talk about prophetic and ahead of their time, how profound and relevant is this song today in our current global situation? Not only that, but the music is absolutely heavenly and uplifting. TFF are living legends in my book. It's truly sad and rather depressing that the satanic music industry won't even consider promoting real music with a message like this anymore. Long live TFF!!

  • Je voudrez unne somme, quelle votre dans magnifique grande melodie. Tres Bonne :)

  • 'Kick out The Style, bring back The Jam'

    I bet that line pissed Weller off. :-)

  • I have to say this: Their only good year in The USA was 1985. Don't get me wrong, this tune from 1989 was a decent tune. That stated, Tears for fears should've played Live-Aid without bitching at Geldof. They'd still be around today.

  • GREAT SONG! THANKS FOR POSTING THIS.

  • I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.... This song is taken from I am the walrus from the beatles

  • 75 people will never sow love in their garden

  • amazing graphics, music is reminiscent of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band but mostly just weird..

  • @luilainez "weird" is good

  • @luilainez That's not an accident. This was a tribute of sorts to the Beatles in the way they composed the song. Can't remember at the moment where I read that.

  • Demais essa música.Como queria ter sido adolescente naquela época :-)

  • Still LOVE this ........... after 20 years !!!

  • they remain me when my beautiful and only child boy was born,,they are unique!!!!

  • Such very, very excellent teeth, Roland.

  • @geoffswoman And ... a very, very excellent song which I hadn't heard in almost 20 (fuck me) years until Sunday and the MMM rock in stereo Valentine's Day tribute to 100 songs with love in the title. tl:dr? Doesn't matter. Roland's hair looks really good in this clip - he's showing attitude he didn't show in their earlier clips and I remember I liked it as a teenage girl. Still do, just quietly.

  • @geoffswoman And he's British! So much for that stereotype. And in some shots in their videos, the sun shines through and they're translucent, therefore not crowns, they're real.

  • I was a teenager in the 1980s; I'm 44 now. I hated a lot of the music back then. Tears For Fears seemed to be in a class of their own. I remember when 'Sowing the Seeds of Love' first came out in '89 and I didn't like it; it was so different from their previous work. Now I love it! It may be nostalgia, but I look on '80s music anew, and with a great deal of affection. Today's music has got nothing to offer and nothing to say. But, alas, I remember saying exactly the same thing as a teenager!!!

  • this does remind me of the beatles, good tune

  • you can(i can anyway) hear a major beatles influince all over this- dont get me wrong>< love TFF :D

  • Why does this remind me of Oasis....

  • Open Your Eyes Swallow Your Pride... Yeahhh////////

  • velhos e bons tempos!!!!!

  • 0:53 lol

  • just look at the notes of saxophone .... TOO ..

  • I have always loved this song, and it lifts me up ,and gives me hope for this world.

  • As someone who grew up with the Doors and Zeppelin ECT... The 70's and 80's were my era of growing up and I AM SO FUCKING GREATFUL because I had the pleasure of listening to MUSIC MASTERS LIKE THESE CATS. It just makes you feel like jetting back in time and being with all the people that were in your life to share the memories these tunes gave us

  • This song is really epic not to mention the excellent video, very progressive back in 80-90's

  • This song is amazing wonderful!!! One of the best song ever made in this world!!!

  • When I hear this song it reminds me of The Beatles..I can see them doing this piece with John doing lead..

  • First 10 seconds of this video always reminds me of Pee Wee's Playhouse.

  • this song SPEAKS FOR TODAY

  • olha só as notas desse saxofone....DEMAISSSS..

  • É verdade baixista amigo ...nessa época havia musicas de verdade!!!!hj em dia?!?! o que temos aos nossos ouvido????

  • Still one of my favorites... after all those years!

  • WOW some people DO NOT get the message. THE BRAIN just cant Compute Real Knowledge. HOW SAD.

  • most creepy video i have ever seen to a good song like this XD. it scared the shit out of me then and still do :P

  • Shall I say that THIS is one of the greatest pop singles of ALL TIMES?

    Hate me if you want, but I think that these two guys can equal the Lennon/McCartney duo as pop songwriters....

  • LOVE IT!!!

    ***

  • Been there done that! And still loving it!

  • This video is full of blatant Satanic symbolism.

  • @aeronuk1 Sure it is!!! Several stars are influenced by these type of symbols. Look Tom Cruise as an example. It is not the single example!

  • @aeronuk1 STFU! I bet the minute you saw the pyramid with the eye on top you were all "Illuminati! ILLUMINATI!"

  • @eprado91 what is the illuminati?

  • @aeronuk1 Nice try dude

  • Comment removed

  • @aeronuk1 I noticed that too. The guy responsible for making the video was Jim Blashfield (several grammys and MTV awards) so I think he's the 'bad guy' here & the "Tears for Fears" boys are innocent :)

  • @Jurassic56 but this ISN'T illuminati, it is against illiminati don't you understand the meaning of this song?

  • @PhotoshopFunStudio I wasn't suggesting that the "Tears for Fears" boys are illuminati members, and I do realise that it's a protest song against the global elite (The Illuminati). But the video director Jim Blashfield is allegedly an illluminati agent and I thought maybe he was sending a subtle message to his fellow illuminists that they have things under control. The illuminati will always give people the opportunity to complain (nothing more) because it gives the illusion of freedom.

  • @aeronuk1 Please find out their real origins before labelling everything satanic.

  • @kidslovesatan I already know what their real origins are.

  • @aeronuk1 By calling them satanic, you clearly don't.

  • @aeronuk1 yeah because it makes joke of illuminati!

  • me encanta este video

  • 73 people buy Seedless Fruit at Right to Work grocery chains.

  • WHY CAN I ONLY PRESS LIKE ONE TIME

  • A work of art.

  • great chord changes in this section and the following--wow 3:45

  • wow, you're 65 and have a 3 year old? Good for you! lol ;)

  • mom, please forgive me...

  • ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

  • 1989

  • wow!! thanks for putting it up, i just hit replay over and over and over......my husband has his earplugs in..lol.....good song, this song should actually be THE theme song of the OCCUPY Movement, and the protesters should play it real loud in front of all our dumb banks!!

  • @christyluvsmr i love this song but, uh, yeah, it's 'thinking' like this that makes the OWS movement an utter joke.

  • love this song now! wish I'd recognized it story back then.

  • il y a du klaatu pour le soleil qui apparait, du sergent pepers pour certains retour de cuivre... du grateful dead , un beau mélange qui marqua la fin des 70's... et déjà un certain art de la récup.

  • This came out when Petty, The eX-BeaTles, Elvis Costello, The Wonderstuff and others were re-exploring the punchy feel-good pop power of 67 sounds and it was the best thing they did.

  • Symbolism heavy.

  • Never even clocked what they were saying when i heard this in my teens. When music was saying something and showing truths. I bet most people don t have a clue what they are getting at.

  • @DopeMoves11

    should be ron pauls campaign song.

  • @DopeMoves11 afair they recorded a couple of successful albums and the third was a failure, nothing pretty to listen to. so yes, the major label didn't want them after that third album. if they had anything pretty they coulda gone to a minor label while they were still a known band

  • The devil sowed the T chromosome of hate among the wiZe,but his wicked plan fails!

  • one of my guilty pleasures, a very under-rated song and album.

  • read a sad and pathetic interview where tears for fears said they were dropped from their label...cuz they there no longer relevant....and were having difficulty being picked up again....

    gawd 99.9% of "modern" "contemporary" music is absolutely prefabricated auto-tuned rubbish....

    >:-( [<---a very angry face indeed!]

  • @zeta1ret The lyrics to this song are amazing! I loved this song back in the 80's but never really knew the words. This song WAS relevant back then and much, much more so now in these times. It's very sad their label has shunned them, I would love to see them make a comeback!

  • hands down - my fave TFF song.

    period.

    :)

  • Great voice!!! Love this song!!!!

  • My face says :)

  • Great song - Long live the 80s!

  • Oh god! Roland and those intense eyes that he's got :)

  • i love this song.

  • Ive been a fan since they began, awesome unique and beatleesque..

  • Escuchando a TFF mientras manejas( conduces) tu automóvil, por cualquier ruta( carretera) de cualquier país, entre valles, montañas, rios, arroyos, o playa...o lo que prefieras...que buena sensación!

  • @Alexiss3000 ahhh nada mejor que manejar a 85 mph fumando un buen pittillo y escuchando esta cancion.....feels like flying

  • Totally Awsome Band

  • The last breath of a cool band.

  • The Freeasson symbols point to the thought of the U.S. government being run by the Ilumiaty, withch is a branch of the Fremassons.

  • TFF SOWING THE SEEDS of the 80'S  IN 2012 and beyond

  • Does anyone else hear INXS?

  • フリーメイソン関係あるの?

    Why is the symbol of Freemasson on this video?

  • Everytime I hear this song I hear The Beatles during their Sgt. Pepper, White album or Abby Road days..with John singing lead..

  • pero que guapos hombres de verdad que hasta ahora se ven muy bien

  • I love these guys but I also love the beatles.

  • transition at 4:02 is sheer brilliance

  • @gibaudrac1 one of the best of all times!

  • Hymn of the Illuminati/Masons

  • Great song. But what's "The Daliy Chronicle" at 1:22. That's the title on the newspaper, with "L" before "I".

  • @123home123 I think that was something that they made up.

  • @CelesteK Hmm, I thought it might be a typo, or a reference to something obscure. But nothing shows up in an online search for "daliy" other than typos on other forums/websites. Or it could be an inside joke, kind of like using "teh" for "the" intentionally.

  • Superbe !dommage que le groupe soit séparé

    

  • @Giggleclip you're cool - stick around :)

  • Who the hell dislikes this?

    

  • I love Tears For Fears

  • the music in the was so good.

  • 3:59 brilliant transition. 

  • Kurt Smith is so hot and this song is so great , nice they brought it back in the movie One Day!

  • This song is whwt was said of, "When ignorance has been dispersed, and the meaning shall be clearer still."

  • Vamos começar a plantar sementes de Amor?

  • Look, the simple truth is music today is based more in image, or style of cloth than substance of music talent and the lyrical message to the mass. End Of! Take the xfactor and crap like that! You will see what I mean!

  • @Giggleclip i agree

  • @Giggleclip i agree

  • Similar to I am the Walrus

  • This song is simple fantastic...

  • I love this song! For all those that don't hear how this was influence by the Beatles, search for "I am the Walrus" on YouTube.

  • It's amazing: we live in a time when we can listen to virtually any music, at any time, for free, and people still weep for a time when MTV ruled music, MP3 wasn't even dreamt of, independent artists had to spill blood to publish their work, and "home taping is killing music". When the heck, people? Music has never so cheap and accessible as today. Enjoy it while it lasts! If you keep weeping, the Internet may be censored behind your backs, and THEN you will weep.

  • 1:22 -- They spelled "daily" wrong. :P

  • Curt is gorgeous.

  • I love Tears for Fears i got a thing for both of them there amazing singers and there gorgeous.

  • Comment removed

  • @jerrysam53

    You're 65 and have a 3 year old child? Damn...

  • PACIFIC

  • God Bless Guys. amen.

  • I thought it was the Daily Prophet at 1:22 ....!

  • This is such a complex song, I love it

  • I wouldn't say this is their best song. Good jam though. Anyone else thinks Roland sounds like and looks a bit (or a lot) like Michael Hutchence?!

  • I love this song <3

  • Tears for fears forever! I love it!

  • Tribute to the Beatles FTW!!!

  • Those 70 people are Fat-Ass who needs Nicki Minaj or Justin Bieber crappy music...

  • A Mexico llego a finales de los 80"s causando furor en los jovenes de aquella epoca, Excelente dueto

  • The Eyes of Hórus

    Tears For Feras = ILLUMINATES / MARÇON / DARK BAND

  • una delle canzoni pop più curate e originali di sempre, sebbene ispirata ai beatles ecc... anzi definirla una canzone sembra quasi riduttivo, è più una breve sinfonia.

  • i like this music

  • I'd love to hear Dream Theater or Shadow Gallery do a cover. It would be insane. XD

  • I remember when this song came out, it must have been 1988, I taped it with my radiorecorder and I liked it so much I listened to it some 50 times in a row... what a fantastic song!

  • I have listened to this song a plethora of times.

    That doesn't matter to me.

    What an awesome track!!!

  • Hells Jeah!!

  • 在您的中国屹立在美国踢的球

  • yea bish!!!!!! my jam

  • Hummm...very masonic

  • Britain makes awesome music!

  • That was when people wrote poetry, and made it into songs....... Not so much anymore. The mystery and symbolic, "poetic" meanings of songs have slowly... gone away.. These songs were so well written (in the poetic sense) you could apply the words and meanings to circumstances in your own life. That is why it united so many people,one song could mean many different things to many people. So much of the music today is simplistic, and in your

    face . Thanks for letting me RANT!!

  • @neversinkmidnight1 Well said friend, well said.

  • Tears for fears forever! Their creative legacy is immortal. Lithuania:)

  • @larsexwow YA tears for fears AND Lithuania, I'm only 1/4 Lithuanian though :P

  • Cheers to my dad for introducing me to tears for fears! For a 17 year old my music taste is quite good hahahah

  • @HeatherMcloughlin I'm 17 too. I LOVE Tears for Fears !! and other music from the 80's :). Good for you, for liking Tears for Fears!

  • I wasnt aware of this song until I bought Tears for Fears greatest hits of which this opens the CD and is a fantastic orchestral flood of a masterpiece nor did I really make the association with The Beatles people keep claiming but I spose the signs are there if you look for them like the synchophantic message of love which was fairly popular with 80s artists and also the trumpeting is a definite hark back to Pauls fascination with the horn section, great swan song for the pair to go out on 2

  • Its their tribute to lennon and maccartney for sure, yet done in their own creatively brilliant style. What a gift for those of us who love those harmonies. I can't thank them enough.

  • i feel extremely lucky to be old enough to remember seeing these guys on MTV and having their cassette and the whole 80's thing. It really was a blast..damn. i miss it everyday

  • @Murfinias me too...me too

  • posso naum kurtir mto os anos 80 prefiro os anos 60 apesar de eu ser de 97 ksksksk mais essa musica teve muito siguinhifikado na minha vida bons tempos minha infancia ksksksksk

  • Great song and vid. I love this song so much...and my favorite song is " Advice for the Young at heart" in this album.

  • Music died in the 2000's

  • @TommyVercetti214 Music died when the suits took over and decided to tell us what we should and shouldn't be listening to.

  • @CelesteK So you're saying that music died the instant that they discovered music could be recorded on a cylinder of wax.

  • @FernieCanto Yes pretty much. The instant that these Yuppies discovered that anybody under the age of 18 could be bought and sold is when music died. In all honesty I'd rather listen to music like this that has substance to it and swagger. SOL was really the best album that Tears ever did. The record labels aren't supporting music like this because the guys in the band can't be bought or sold.

  • @CelesteK there is still hope for real music... Tranqvillia

  • @SpiritMolecule1 I have little to no hope that music will go beyond Lady GaGa and Katy Perry and whatever other shit kids are listenening to these days. The only person that I've listened to that's any good is Kimber.

  • @CelesteK you should definitely check out tranqvillia then, very Queen inspired new band.

  • @TommyVercetti214 Music died in the 2000's... and in the 90's, and in the 80's, the 70's, 60's and so on and on. Yet it insists in coming back from the dead to bug us a little more. Be careful: Radiohead might pull your leg while you're sleeping one of these days.
