Brilliant ! ! ! Oh if they all decided to just get together and tour again. Just for the shear joy of playing the best music to come out of the 80's...again. And for us..... U2's 'unforgettable fire', moves my soul. XTC makes me smile. REM was anything but a short love affair. Howard Jones wore his humanity well. But, These cat's! Brilliant; can't touch it! I have always gone back to this album...more than any other. Probably always will. not a bad thing. Peace.
This album was SO good, lean and lush! So different than the 80's Big Chair album. And than the EVER different college alt album Elemental which would come in the 90's!
This song was written as a scenario between two lovers together on the night "the big one" goes off. It was penned in 1986, before the arms reduction, when such a possibility was still fresh in people's minds. The two lovers in the song would rather spend one night together in a "real life situation", sitting by candlelight and listening to the "band that made them cry" instead of panicking and running for the hills.
Roland has such a beautiful, soothing, stunning voice! not only he's talented vocally but look how handsome he is! seriously the definition of PERFECT. gives me goosebumps every time i look or listen to him.. love the guy as well as Curt Smith.. #tearsforfearsfan
I absolutely LOVE this song, the words, and piano - it is one of my ALL time favorites :) Thanks Tears for Fears for sharing and for giving me so many wonderful memories with your music!!!!!!!
I am a singer today thanks to tears for fears, really, I learnt singing songs like this in the shower... now I dram that maybe one day I can sing it for Roland LOL, though my music turned out to be different genre I will always thank their influence
This song let alone this live version is amazing. Roland has such incredible stage presence and soul. I saw this tour in 90. It was one of the best days of my life. So happy to find these videos. I felt like I was there again in that moment and it was beyond words to see it. Thank you so much for this and what one song can make you feel.
Really incredible. Who is making music like this anymore? It's sensitive, powerful, interestingly arranged and uses true musicianship. Roland is one of the great singers with an incredible range, but I'm not sure how much that is appreciated.

@MusicTeacherMcGorry i so totally agree with you....music like this takes you out of yourself and carries you along with it to wonderful places! One of the greatest bands i've ever heard...i was very fortunate to be able to see the seeds of love concert and it was truly an amazing experience :)
A voz dele é maravilhosa mesmo, não ouvi nenhum cantor que tenha uma voz que faça eu me acalmar desse jeito, meu desejo era conhece-lo pessoalmente para elogiar o grande artista que ele é. A música é perfeita, é a realidade da nossa vida, realmente o que resta é insetos e grama.
super rare that one has such a magical voice at the same time can write such nice tunes...a real artist where from the simple to the sophisticated would be entertained
This is the best band that gives you one of those "Nugget" songs from an album and repetoire! They are usually little diitties that a band chooses to tack on that is not a whole song in what an audience is "used" to understanding, but with TFF these pieces are as important as full lenght compositions. As weighty and moving as any commercial release product but in many ways are even more meaningful and graciously appointed as any full length material.
@Fnord23Gnosis hmm.. well I don't know about that :) but Illuminati originally meant learned one didn't it? ..well that aspect certainly describes Roland :D :D
Roland is Awesome I love his look and his voice is so amazing it gives me chills every time i listen to him. Wish I could meet him someday in person although I know that will never happen, but one can dream...
Finally after almost 3 decades of waiting..we'll get to see TFF live here in Manila Philippines 05/02/10.Love this Band since I was in High School.I remember,1 time,only having 500 bucks in my pocket & I was planning to do something else,but then I came across this Record Bar,saw their "The Hurting" CD Imported from Germany & it cost 450.
hmm..change of plans..I still got the CD.I got all of them,except for "Big Chair".But I still have it on cassette hahaha.
@dgahandm101 Congrats -- that's great news. I've seen TFF twice in the past year and they are on top of their game and playing very well together. Their hits from the 80's are as good now live as they were back in the 80s.
You need to get their cd's there are wonderful songs that you never hear unless you see them live. One of my favorites is Bad Man's song. Give it a try.
By the way I have seen and heard this song live. I saw them in Detroit in Feb of 90. I had to have surgery and my mouth was wired shut. I sang every song. My husband had to go out of town and I went with a friend. He laighed at me singing. Nothing was going to keep me from seeing them. The best concert Ihave ever seen.
I have it. Will dig it out to upload. Feel free to remind me if you don't see it in two weeks or so. To receive it automatically feel free to subscribe to my channel.
TFF has been my favorite band since Songs from the Big Chair. Then we were blessed after a looooong wait for Sowing the Seeds. It is a spectacular CD. I lost my original and ordered the remastered UK version. It has songs that are not on the US version. It is a must have for TFF fans. And oh yea I saw them in concert in Feb 1990. The best I have ever seen.
I was lucky enough to see TFF play at the Cow Palace in San Francisco during the Seeds of Love Tour. I've seen tons of live shows since then, but this will forever remain as one of my all-time favorites. Bravo.
no not more of the same i see what you mean if you say to most people tears for fears theyd say everybody wants to rule the world period raoul and the kings of spain?is that a book?no its the best damn album they or should i say he ever did that is one hell of a cd but hardly anybody has heard of it songs from the big chair is like the tweenies xmas cd by comparison in my humble opinion
this song is awesome reminds me of the past so much apart from mabe secrets and me and my big ideas on raoul and the kings of spain nothing comes even close to this awesome awesome awesome
All of his work is superb. All is incomparable to next. He has an evolving brain... experimenting and always coming up with something amazing, You can't want more of the same and more of same. We would be stuck in a boring music world.
Há muitos anos que eu não ouvia essa música....Tinha me esquecido o quanto ela é linda!Nossa,parece que viajei no tempo...pra minha adolescência....A voz de Roland é poderosa,sensível:Magnífica!!!!!!!!!
Und ich auch! Es ist ja das besten album von tears for fears. Viele albums von andere gruppen haben nur ein paar gute lieder, aber mag ich gern jeder lied von das Seeds of Love album. Great stuff!
is he wearing a triforce necklace?
