Lol me too they're so silly

The 80s now is littered with everything that was great about it, but trust me, musicians also made horrible cheesy stuff back then, but it was overshadowed by the greater creative records in a way that we have never had since

Yupppp. Love Roland so much!!!!

Well they should because it made them what they are otherwise nobody would have ever heard of TFF.

I have a massive crush on rolly

@@champflowahbomb7630 same. I think he is the hottest guy I’ve ever come across

@@bonniespringer8738 lol omg really

Roland smile is so gorgeous and adorable and and divine

The Tipping Point with them both back together to a 100% is so much better. How many Brit bands of the eighties quarrelled, had problems, separated ... so many of them top musicians and could have been giants if they had stayed together?

Bibiana Montoya he loves you too

Now their almost 60! 😭 they need to do atleast one more album

You hit the nail on the head(so 2 speak) Something special happens when Curt & Roland are together. Every relationship, music or just friendship, has its trials and tribulations Egos get in the way. It takes time to sift through the everyday details of life ,fame and what ever.? Everyone should be sincerely grateful for how fortunate they are, because Life is not so easy for many in this World and that is why when folks ask " how are you doing?" I respond, " it could be better ,could be worse" Sincerely, deb

​@@debrasimms6821 That's exactly what I say ❤!

If you are friends and have tension you need new friends.

Sadly, it is their egos that help make them so great. It is a Catch 22.

No. I didn't get that at all. It seemed to me that they were quite comfortable in their "new relationship," as it were. Lots of water under the bridge since they had parted ways. They grew, professionally and personally. "Everybody Loves a Happy Ending" would never have happened if there was still "tension," IMO.

Best band ever

@@tonyc2761 think there's still a bit of tension though not like there old. Self

I think they grew up. Matured, feeling more comfortable...

mark caine : I don't think so. After all no one is twisting their arms to do it. Money can only go so far. The fact that they know each other and performed together for so long has alot to do with it. Like brothers getting together again.

Tina Jane Oxnam. He was being sarcastic

oh yeah, he was being totally sarcastic!

Curt was being funny, they had this kind of humor.

​@@jenweenink I think she knows 😉...

MultiMrMiles I AGREE WITH YOU 100%

MultiMrMiles . Same here.

MultiMrMiles YOU TOO ????

You've missed "I Believe".

And you have missed "Advice for the young at heart" ;)

They're HIS top 5, not yours 😅.

I thought they were lovers!

@@RFDeStefano I was going to say the same thing lol

@@RFDeStefano i

I thought they were brothers, too.

I did too!😲😳🤣😂

Everybody Loves a Happy Ending actually has some really good tunes on it. You may want to give it a chance.

The problem is when you're in each others faces 24hrs a day for X amount of years you lose each other and you lose yourself. As Prince once said being the conscientious observer that he was "all good things, they say, never last". Tears of fears were a great outfit but it ran its course. They did their best work when they were in their early to mid twenties!!!!! These guys were kids and ruling the world. I love that shit.

I think they were the best in 1990, just prior to the split! Watch the You Tube video from their Santa Barbara concert! They were at their prime there and that tour. They were just turning 30!

you have to check out "Goodnight Song" and "Break it down again" from the post-80s phase of TFF. These songs are fantatsic.

They weren't a duo, they were a band (a great one).

Me too

While it's true they work best together and lacking on their own. They probably had issues with egos and who has more of what but I imagine they see each other as pieces to a bigger hole these days

I think u are correct. Curt got upset because the record companies wanted Roland to do more headlining, more singing!! Clearly Roland IS THE TALENT, HOWEVER... HAVING SAID THAT, IT'S SO MUCH BETTER WHEN THEY'RE TOGETHER THAN SOLO!!! Curt has changed alot, more grumpy and stuck up. Just chill out curt and enjoy the rest of your life!!!

@@prettyyoungthingpyt5015 Roland was the lead writer of the two. Roland once said in an interview that he grew tired of writing for Curt, and wanted to write for Oleta instead. Roland also took over the band with these ideas hence adding new members, Curt left because he didn't have any control anymore...

Agreed....Roland is definitely the better musician, singer and talent, but as a pair they're magic.

I agree...Mick.

r3n3369 ????

He’s not bad looking. Roland has gotten a little rough looking. I’m just glad he stopped trying to dye his hair black.

Yeah, Curt was being a party pooper.

Can somebody please explain to me what happened? And why there wasn't much tension? What would have caused that tension? I'm confused 🤔

Roland wrote most of the songs and music , but everyone thought Curt was the genius of the group. I read it online , Roland regretted letting Curt sing all the hit songs.

Barbara Jenkins Roland sang most of them.

Personally, I believe that Roland's best music was beginning with the Elemental album and Raoul & The Kings of Spain also phenominal but I think they got better over the years and turned out an amazing album (Everyone Loves A Happy Album) that I play a half year after I got it still on a regular basis. You can't begrudge them the fact that it's a poor state of things that many artists don't get airplay after age 40 no matter how good their music is. Fleetwood Mac, same thing, just incredible albums (and Lindsay solo albums as well ) when they were past age 40 or 50 some of the best they've ever done but no airplay at all. I don't listen to radio because of just this sort of thing. I fnd better out there not played every 40 minutes in a repeat cycle on radio.

Ryan Forester I believed in Roland's talent so much I purchased his Elemental and Raoul records, and although the Raoul didn't interest me at all, I found some solid songs in his Elemental record that I feel his genius shined thru. Also got the Happy album which incorporated some songs from earlier and new ones. Here in NYC area they have stations that play songs from different eras, like 90s or hits of the past or daytime songs, and usually listen to those. Sadly the only alternative rock station called it quits a while back and I listen to my playlists on smart device half the time. Tears for Fears, whenever any of their songs comes on, of course I turn up the radio and its magic!

yea my thoughts also, they have some newer songs that are good songs , but what they did in the 1980s that was just simply golden

Swavek Zielinski Hey, sorry you lost your alt rock station. Here in Minneapolis, we're celebrating the 10th anniversary of our public alternative radio station (that means no commercials!!!) It's 89.3 The Current. It's home-grown, the DJs are great, and they provide such a wide range of music. In one hour you could hear Tears for Fears, next to Alt-J, then Etta James. They were playing Daft Punk, Lourde, and Imagine Dragons before the bubble-gum stations got 'em! Plus, you'll hear great local (Mpls.) music. Sorry to be such an ad, but I just really love this station and, when I heard that you lost yours, I wanted to share. Go to www.thecurrent.org to live stream.

+Swavek Zielinski Are you talking about the singles being good but not great, While having good songs is a compliment their hit albums: The Hurting +Songs from the big chair to The seeds of love are great albums-----What other bands/artists did you like in the 80's
