Stereos been berry, berry good to me!
I love every wants to rule the world but the interpretation is most bizarre.
It was a great driving song (I remember it, after leaving my lover, flying down the Garden State Parkway at 80 mph in my black Saab Turbo).

Both my teenage kids have heard of them and can sing their more popular tunes. So they've grown on me a bit even though I just tolerated them in the 80s because they were everywhere. Really good production.
Those of you who know me and my impeccable musical taste can rest assured that Tears for Fears is OK to like.

At the end of my "sound techie" days in the late 90s, I provided a PA and stage monitor for a Mayfield show in a local nightclub.
Mayfield was the band Curt Smith started after Tears For Fears.
A pretty good show with absolutely no one in attendance.
Well, a couple of fan girls busting at the seams (both figuratively and literally) swooning to every vocal utterance.
The music was of the same ilk with acoustic versions of their fan's favorites peppered throughout.
It's interesting how a small turnout can really spotlight the innerworkings of a touring band.
They gotta give it their all when they don't feel inspired and the entourage is squirming because the talent is looking for someone to blame.
Their sound tech left a Ahmad Jamal CD in my player he used to sound check the system with. Funny the things you remember.

Love them. Quite a lot of their early stuff made me think that Roland had suffered abuse from his mother as a child.
Saw a televised studio concert recently after they had got back together, & was quite embarrassed by Curt's voice. Roland's wasn't that great. I supposed it happens to all of us. Recorded the concert & have since deleted it.
I listen to them regularly - particularly Famous last words & enjoy watching the Going to California concert on DVD. Oletta Adams is unbelievable. Nobody has mentioned Woman in chains & Me & my big ideas. Two of the most atmospheric recordings in my collection.

Not sure which version you're referring to. I think Gary Jules did a pretty good cover of it.

Use to work with lady who would spin Tears for Fears "Songs from the Big Chair" CD every day at work. Good album but everyday?
Fortunately I did not have to hang around the office all day … spent most of my time in the Lab. Would have driven me up a wall.
Own two copies of album on Vinyl … one legacy and one MFSL. I found that I could listen to the album again after not hearing it for 10 years.
