Re: Tears for fears.

I am unsure (and often am confused about the New Wave bands and who sang what), but i've always liked Tears For Fears' Music! Was Tears For Fears best known song "Everybody Wants To Rule The World". Can any other members confir if Tears For Fears sang this song? Thanks.

For Sportsaid they bought out a revised version called "Everybody wants to run the world"

If you look on Youtube there are some great clips of Tears For Fears playing live with a full orchestra in Antwerp in 2006, Belgium 2007 etc

eg. Shout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI9lo5BRJmg Sewing the Seeds of Love http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I99byzYZbBI

Woman in Chains http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vur84...feature=relmfu plus many others.

Their voices are as brilliant as ever. I saw them live on several occasions back in the 80's. An excellent band imho.

I saw them in Birmingham in 83 and 85 if my memory serves me correctly. Once was at The Odeon so a relatively small venue.

I never find out till I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
Don't throw it away"

Songs From the Big Chair is still a great album, and the best track from it is Listen one of the most haunting songs ever.

Re: Tears for fears.

The movie 'Peter's Friends' features 'Everybody Wants To Rule The World' in it's opening titles over a montage of news clips which span the decade between 1982 and 1992, as an indication of time passing between the 1982-set opening pre-titles scene and the 1992 setting of the rest of the movie.

I was never really into TFF until the late '80s, and 'The Seeds Of Love' album. I really like this album, it remains one of my favourites. As well as the singles - 'Sowing The Seeds Of Love', 'Woman In Chains', and 'Advice For The Young At Heart', 'Badman's Song' is also worth a listen.

Re: Tears for fears.

I liked Tears for Fears.
The tunes that i listen to most is Mad World.From the album The Hurting.
It is amazing that it was released in 1982.
Sowing the seeds of love is another favourite of mine.
