TEARS FOR FEARS MEMES

FUNNY TEARS FOR FEARS MEMES

Part of the second British Invasion, these new wave 80s icons put together some memorable tunes. Heavy on the synth, and great with the catchy choruses, they had multiple number one hits in the mid 1980s. Hits like Shout, Everybody Wants To Rule the World, Head Over Heels, Mad World, Sowing The Seeds Of Love. Their album Songs From The Big Chair is a staple of almost everyone's vinyl collection...or at least anyone with good taste. 

Songs From The Big Chair - Tears For Fears album

Shout
Shout
Let it all out

Your welcome for getting that little song in your head.

Singing Shout by Tears for Fears

I'm not sure which one was the shouter - Curt Smith or the other dude?

What catchy songs Tears had. Yes, I shortened the name to make it hipper - Tears! You can learn the chorus of Shout in about ten seconds and it just sticks with you on so many levels. You can sing, you can shout, you can just let it all out. It's therapeutic.
I feel it may be wrong to whisper the song Shout. What do you think?

If you don't love Shout, or shouting in general. Perhaps you liked Everybody wants to rule the world?
Rumour has it that Drake likes this song.

Drake's reactions to Tears for Fears songs

Which band member thought of the idea for the song? Roland takes credit, but I have a feeling Curt Smith was on that same train of thought. Choo-Choo.
The breakthrough moment when Roland and Curt realized Everybody Wants To Rule The World!

Everybody wants to rule the world was the theory of Tears for Fears

This song has staying power. If you just look at the world today you can see the song is still relevant. Kim Jong and Trump both have this song on their playlists.

Calm down earth, Roland and Curt did not actually expect to rule you. Or did they?

Tears for Fears rules a Mad World

Even the fashion of these guys is still hip. Remember the video for Head Over Heels? Curt is head over heels in love with the big-haired librarian. And he has those big 80s style glasses, which all the hipsters are wearing today.

And of course tears have been a part of humanity for all of time. Usually it's tears of sadness not tears for fears, but, some say tomato some say tomato.
