I'm so glad people are making this song popular again, Tears For Fears will never die

I don't care what anyone says the 80's has the best music.

The best part about this song, is it doesn’t get old. It just gets better with each listen.

The 1980s definitely produced the best pop music.

The irony of the last line........"funny how time flies".....as I am listening to this same song, but instead of being 16, I am now 51.

The music, the lyrics, that voice… Everything about this song is so perfect.

I'm stuck in the 80's. Magical period of mankind.

Who's Still Listening To This Beautiful Tears For Fears Song Head Over Heels In 2024 ❤🔥

I absolutely love the way at 1:46 the keyboardist shouts “YEAH!” after an awesome solo and stabbing those two victorious chords. It really makes it feel like the band members all knew how fucking great this track was and they were all totally in the vibe.

this guy's voice is impeccable

I am 24 years old and this is the most amazing song I've ever heard in my life.

Help I'm addicted to this song

80s music is proof you don’t know what you have until it’s gone

Tears For Fears need to get inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame. One of the most underrated, under-appreciated, overlooked groups of our time. Their music is mood-setting, spine-tingling, heart-wrenching, and thought-provoking. Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith are a phenomenal duo! I can never get enough of TFF!

One of my favorite songs of the 80s. Listening in 2024

Who in the 2024 listening to this musician

I am a 73 year old nanna, a flowerchild from the 60’s. This group is my favorite now. As I sit in the recliner receiving chemo for leukemia, I put on my headphones and listen to this song and their others to be happily distracted. Thank you, Roland and Curt. Rock on!!!!

I took my 20 year old daughter to see them in concert last night. They are still awesome. She loved them.

Imagine being 23 years old and contributing some of the best music in our lifetime. The talent in this band is relentless

I work at Panera and they play this about 20 times during my shift. And it still ain't enough.

This song has that “This is my new favorite song” feeling every time you listen to it

this song makes me feel something I can’t describe.

I am in love with this song.

A timeless song.

Roland and Curt have such unique voices. No one ever mistakes them for another band.

This is their wonderfully awkward love song. "Something happens" is passive voice. The songwriting here is genius. This describes anxiety, fear, and some anger so well and efficiently. It's the love song for people who aren't players nor have any game.

Such young people used to write such mature songs with extensive vocabulary, sophisticated references, and deep meaning.

These men have had a great lifetime bond, and career. Blessed by God

This 80’s Masterpiece by Tears For Fears will forever be one of the greatest songs of all time.❤

It's kinda insane how many hooks this song has. Every single section is memorable.

The 80's was a defining moment for our time. I don't think it wil happen again.

The music and vocal ability of Tears for fears is amazing. I love their music. They deserved world recognition for their art.

I met my Wife in 84, this was a song that reminds me of "us". She passed away this past June 2022 after 37 years together, I miss her so much........

My dad was in college from 1980-1985 and I'll never stop being jealous. Literally what a time to be alive

This song completely embodies the 80's. The greatest era of music, PERIOD!!!!

How can a song be so flawless? The tune, the baseline, the singing and the overall energy. Divine.

This was filmed at my university's library, Emmanuel College. The number of hours I spent studying, writing, and pondering there while listening to Tears For Fears and The Smiths, how meta. It was my oasis pre-pandemic.

Such an innocent and beautiful song in a wonderful time, loved these guys since ‘84!😊

Happy birthday Curt! 🎉

All of their songs are so nostalgic but this one… this one is unique.

It just never would have been the '80s without Tears For Fears.

The '70's and '80's rule the music industry even more so than the '60's, for different reasons. The '80's was the MTV generation and made music so accessible.

80's was peak civilization. At the time I dreamed of the future. Now I just wanna go back lol.

Im 50 now and the 80s is like some wondrous dream I woke up from early and wish I could fall asleep and return to. I know the worlds needed to move on in the decades since, and not everyone sees it through rose colored glasses, but what an absolutely magical time. It was all like some dream. Im glad I had it when I was young enough to enjoy it just the way I did. But I miss that time as though I miss a loved one who's irreplaceable and long gone.

"Head Over Heels" I wanted to be with you alone And talk about the weather But traditions I can trace Against the child in your face Won't escape my attention You keep your distance with a system of touch And gentle persuasion I'm lost in admiration Could I need you this much? Oh, you're wasting my time You're just-, just-, just wasting time Something happens And I'm head over heels I never find out 'Til 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-, don't-, don't throw it away Throw it away Throw it away I made a fire, and watching it burn Yeah, thought of your future With one foot in the past Now, just how long will it last? Now, now, now, have you no ambitions? (Mm, what's the matter with my) My mother and my brothers used to breathe in clean air (Nothing ever changes when you're acting your age) And dreaming I'm a doctor (Nothing gets done when you feel like a baby) It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand (Nothing ever changes when you're acting your age) Oh, I feel so Something happens And I'm head over heels I never find out 'Til 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-, don't-, don't throw it away And this is my four-leaf clover I'm on the line, one open mind This is my four-leaf clover La, la, la In my mind's eye La, la, la One little boy, one little man La, la, la Funny how time flies

Ever since I first heard this song on the radio in 1985 when I was 16 years old, this song in particular hits right in the feels, and 39 years later, IT. STILL. DOES.

Mid 2024, anyone? One of my favourite songs of TFF ❤ from the 🇵🇭

There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.

Can we talk about Roland's intensity when he sings? He gives it everything he's got and has such a big voice. I just love when he sings "this is my 4 leaf clover" and holds up 4 fingers. So good.

I'm HEAD.OVER HEALS in love with this song. It likes to SHOUT. Great to listen to 80's Music, in a MAD WORLD that we live in.

If I could rewind time to my favorite era, it would be the 80s hands down 💙

I can't imagine the world without this song

One of the greatest 40 second openings in music history.

I think the first lines in this song are just amazing. Perfect

In my top 3 bands of all time. Geniuses

I am 52 now and this song still gives me the chills whenever I hear it. It makes me feel like I am 17 all over again ❤

This video is such a great way to tell the story about the lyrics of this song- how embarrassing and how vulnerable you can be when you admit to someone you’re falling for them and not knowing how they’ll react to it. Music videos from this time were really something amazing

I am listening, and obviously so are you😮

Funny how time flies

So epic. Fucking love tears for fears

I'm 44 and I can honestly say that the 80's and 90's music will never be duplicated!

I went to see Tears For Fears in Detroit when they reunited for the Everybody Loves A Happy Ending tour. Not only were they amazing, they sounded great, put on a great show, played their hits & some other stuff, but it was one of the best shows I've been to. After the show I went out back. I had bought a poster of them that they were selling at their merch booth & thought I'd try to get it signed. Not long after, Roland & Curt came out & were super nice to the fans that were waiting. I got my poster signed by both of them & pictures with each of them. I was so excited cause I had such a bad year before this. I had lost my father to pancreatic cancer a few weeks earlier, & suddenly I was transported back to 1985, when my dad bought me the Songs From The Big Chair cassette. They were so nice & humble & it is a memory I will never forget. That is why I'm still a fan until this day. As a side note I love this song.

Only 123 million hits ?!?! So many people leading sad lives 😢

One of the most beautiful and melodic pop tunes ever. The Brits just kick ass with their music.

As a librarian of 34 years this song brings me much joy ! 🥰

It's music like this that made me believe in pop music. There were many 80s songs that were pop masterpieces and this is just one of them.

Re-discovering Tears after all these years, how time flies by :)

There’s an ambitious innocence to the 80s that I don’t think we’ll ever see again. I miss it a lot.

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Every time I hear it, it makes my heart swoon.

One of the best groups in the 80 s

This is one hell of a good song!

What a epoch…the whole 70s and 80s must’ve been amazing…

This is one of my "Go To" songs when I am depressed. The music and melody helps to sooth my soul. I absolutely love them!

One little boy One little man Funny how Time flies

A true nostalgia of the 80s, takes me back and induces memories, a true masterpiece ❤🎉

this is possibly some of the first music I ever heard. My parents went to a tears for fears concert when my mom was pregnant with me, and according to her, this was the first song they played and she could feel me kicking to the rhythm. Fan from day 0!

In my opinion Tears For Fears greatest song. And one of my favorite songs. I love all kinds of music and I’m a big metal/thrash metal and punk guy but this has always been one of my favorites. It’s so well written. Not overly complicated at all but artistically put together so perfectly. Such nostalgic feelings every time I listen to it.

Ahhh the 80’s. Greatest music, weirdest music videos.

If I'd been born 20-25 years earlier and been a teen/young adult listening to this...Roland would've been the man of my daydreams. He's gorgeous, adorable, funny, talented, and has an amazing voice and I know I'd have been HEAD OVER HEELS for him. But alas he's the same age as my dad now.

This song makes you fall in love even when there is no one around.

This song makes me remember my mom. Her love ❤

One of the most beautiful beginnings of a song!

the songs, the musicians, the singers , the production, arrangements, mixing, mastering were the absolute best in the 80s by far

The last sentence: "funny how time flies" is definitely spot on! This song brings me back to (junior) high during probably the nicest era to grow up: the '80's!!!

70-90s were the best decades for music

It’s Not even funny how much I miss the 1980s 😢

Lyrics: I wanted to be with you alone And talk about the weather But traditions I can trace against the child in your face Won't escape my attention You keep your distance via the system of touch And gentle persuasion I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much? Oh, you're wasting my time You're just, just, just wasting time Something happens and I'm head over heels I never find out until 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, don't, don't throw it away Throw it away, throw it away I made a fire, and watching it burn Thought of your future With one foot in the past, now just how long will it last? Now, now, now, have you no ambitions? My mother and my brothers used to breathing clean air And dreaming I'm a doctor It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand Oh, I feel so Something happens and I'm head over heels I never find out until 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, don't, don't throw it away And this is my four leaf clover I'm on the line, one open mind This is my four leaf clover In my mind's eye One little boy, one little man Funny how time flies

*A message to the future generations:* _Don't let this song die._

CLASSIC MUSIC NEVER DIES NEVER STILL LISTENING IN 2024 ❤❤❤❤❤🎉

"it's funny how time flies" that's scary.

Born in 1997 so I missed the 80s but, thanks to my parents who always listened to older music, this stuff got me through my middle and high school years. Thank you Mom for your awesome taste in music!!

1980s best decade for music for gems like this

80's music is truly the best, all individual sounds, quirky, different and so good, not like the crap they put out these days. I so wish I had a time machine. Whatever happened to the drummer and keyboard player from Tears for Fears????

This is a classic gem I remember from when I was 4/5 years old this music puts me back 40 years to where I was it’s incredible totally transcending!

I was in my early 20's when this song hit the charts. At the time, watching this video on what was then a novelty - "MTV," and seeing that last scene of the married couple in their old age, I thought - "How sweet. Someday, far, far away, that will be me and my wife." Now, near 61 years old, I realize that it's really not "funny how time flies." To all of you young people: enjoy your precious youth, my friends. Hold it more precious than gold, because "it slips away - like dust in the wind."

Hands down on of the best songs ever made, written, lyrically and musically.

Born in the gen Z generation and I still love this music.

How is this not the best song ever? If a radio station plays it, life must stop for 4 min and 15 sec.

[Lyrics] I wanted to be with you alone And talk about the weather But traditions I can trace Against the child in your face Won't escape my attention You keep your distance With a system of touch And gentle persuasion I'm lost in admiration Could I need you this much? Oh, you're wasting my time You're just, just, just wasting time Something happens and I'm head over heels 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, don't, don't throw it away Throw it away Throw it away I made a fire and watching it burn I thought of your future With one foot in the past Now, just how long will it last? No! No! No! Have you no ambition? (What's the matter with) My mother and my brothers Used to breathing clean air (Nothing ever changes when you're acting your age) And dreaming I'm a doctor (Nothing gets done when you feel like a baby) It's hard to be a man When there's a gun in your hand (Nothing ever changes when you're acting your age) Oh, I feel so Something happens and I'm head over heels 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, don't, don't throw it away And this my four leaf clover I'm on the line, one open mind This is my four leaf clover (La la-la la la, la la-la la la) (La la la-la la-la) (La la-la la la, la la-la la la) (La la la-la la-la) (La la-la la la, la la-la la la) (La la la-la la-la) (La la-la la la, la la-la la la) (La la la-la la-la) In my mind's eye One little boy, one little man Funny how time flies

I don't think most people truly understand how amazing this song is. So well written.
