Aileen, 'Tears for Fears' are a band from the U.K. they formed in 1980 and had many hits through the '80s into the '90s and beyond. Songs which I recommend by them are: "Mad World", "Memories Fade", "Change", "Ideas as Opiates", "Pale Shelter", "Watch Me Bleed", "Shout", "Head Over Heels", "Sowing the Seeds of Love", "The Way You Are". There are many more but these are good ones to continue with.

Fun fact, we have a speech therapist to thank for the wonderful voice of the singer, as a kid he had a really serious stutter, and his therapy included singing lessons to learn better control of his diaphragm, this is where he (the singer) discovered that he enjoyed singing and actually sounded pretty darn good, and... he did not stutter during singing. Over the years he got better and better at singing and learned to control his stutter thnx to that, and eventually it gave us this amazing band for the ages with songs that stand the test of time.

A truly magical time. It had it's problems and concerns, but we had so much to listen to and to watch and to work with, it truly was magical for me. I grew up in the 80's and miss it all the time.
