Tears for Fears -

[Big Meaty Claws]

What are your thoughts on the band of Tears for Fears and their messages behind the songs as well as the discussion of spirituality that they often times bring up in the songs.

Also what are your favorite songs and whys that?

I'll start off with my favorite song:

 

[Kataomoi00]

I don't know too much about the band, but I really like these songs

My favorite song by them. Who knew that a song about corruption bringing in the end of the world could be so singable?

I always remembered hearing this song on the radio when I was younger.

Everyone seems to be more familiar with the Gary Jules version, but I personally like this version better.

 

[Gym Leader Elesa]

Everyone seems to be more familiar with the Gary Jules version, but I personally like this version better.

Man, I must be young. I thought the Gary Jules version was original.

 

[Kari Kamiya]

They have such a great discography, but either "Mothers Talk" or "Head Over Heels" is my favorite song of theirs.

Everyone seems to be more familiar with the Gary Jules version, but I personally like this version better.

Eh, I think the cover was able to add its own style to it (like covers should), so I don't have qualms with either.

"Shout" holds some sentimental value for me since it brings back memories of one of my little brothers making that attempt to sing along to it back when he watched the music video a lot (Dad's got a couple DVDs of music videos). It only lasted for like a year or two, but he still perks up when the opening notes play and he's in the car.

They were overrated and underrated at the same time. In the 80s you heard them everywhere. I heard them as a kid quite often.

Now, they're musically sound and very technical in their craft. And they're still going today.

And I do have their big album in my collection.
