Tears For Fears "Head Over Heels" | One Song - Full Episode

One of my favourite songs of all time. Thanks for the breakdown.

Tears For Fears has got so many great songs. Love them

I loved this episode and was sent here by a close friend as we listen through catalogs of studio recordings - including TfF. I think it's important to note, though, that the line isn't "It's hard to be a man when there's a gun to your head." I've always heard it as "...gun in your hand." So, of course I had to look it up and was correct in that assumption. It's also a (fake) gun in his hand in the video, adding credence to my original thinking when the song and then video first came out. I'm sure I'll get dinged here by commenters but the point stood out to me and they are vastly different sentiments.

One of my favorite songs of all time.

At least Curt was doing 20-30%. There’s some bands where members did basically nothing and they are in the hall of fame.

After seeing all the wonderful, intricate weaving of layers in this song, I'd really love to see this treatment given to Sowing The Seeds Of Love! I imagine there's a lot of hidden treasure to be found there!

I was a few minutes into this show when you mentioned it was being filmed. I immediately followed you here too.

Love your show! You help me to appreciate song I have not heard before .

The intro line of this song is soooooo playerish!!!!!! He told the lady “I wanted to be with you alone, and talk about the weather”…That’s a real player line.

This was such a great podcast! Thanks so much for this show

My favorite podcast, hands down!, thank you again for music education and conversation. I thought that broken song was a Dub version, great information

The “dada dada da” from Next Episode is pretty close to a “la la” moment for hip hop. There’s also ODB’s intro and outro on Woo-Ha but even that’s “ya ya” not “la la.” I feel like there’s definitely some “la las” in hip hop, at least from a sample, but can’t think of any examples other than those two.

Your killing me. Let’s hear the music!!!

I really enjoy your show, great episode by the way and covering it in such depth. I love your content and thank you for diving into one of my favorite songs/bands. Cheers!

This song is perfection!!

Great, intelligent discussion! Tears for fears are an amazing musical duo and because of this discussion, it made me to appreciate Curt's bass playing even more! He has such a Paul mccartney/Peter Cetera vibe in his playing!

Your sponsored ad has brought me here… +1 sub ❤

In my top 3 Tears for Fears songs. 🔥🔥🔥

Curt's vocals in the background 47:30 -47:56 (aprox) sound very similar to Mad World (The Hunting 1983). Thank you! Love your work.

I fully believe that Roland was the true mastermind behind much of the music. I only believe this because of the masterpieces of his solo music.
