Tears for Fears

Tears for Fears

Tears for Fears es una banda inglesa de new romantic fundada por Curt Smith y Roland Orzabal en 1981. La banda de rock tomó su nombre de un capítulo del libro de psicoterapia "Prisoners of Pain" ("Prisioneros del dolor") del psicólogo estadounidense Arthur Janov. Su estilo new romantic, combinación de new wave y soul, se refleja en cada una de sus producciones musicales. Sus principales influencias musicales han sido The Beatles, Human League y Duran Duran, aunque también han llegado a sonar con similitud con Supertramp y Spandau Ballet. Canciones como "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", "Shout" y "Sowing the Seeds of Love" convirtieron a Tears for Fears en uno de los grupos más importantes de la música rock de los años 80, y en uno de los grupos más reconocidos a nivel mundial.

Tears for Fears siempre ha sido uno de los grupos más ambiciosos y destacados de la oleada de bandas que surgieron a finales de la década de los 70´s y principios de los 80's así como Duran Duran, Depeche Mode o Spandau Ballet entre otros. Las ventas de sus primeras 3 producciones (1983-1989) han superado las 20 millones de copias alrededor del mundo y fueron considerados el mejor grupo musical de 1985 gracias a temas como "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" y "Shout", ganándose un puesto entre las bandas más destacadas de la música de los 80s y 90s. Precisamente es el disco "Songs from the Big Chair" el éxito más grande que tuvieron en su carrera, y que los consagraría a mediados de la década de los 80s.

Welcome to your life; there's no turning back
Even while we sleep we will find
You acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on mother nature
Ev'rybody wants to rule the world
It's my own desire, it's my own remorse
Help me to decide. Help me make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever last forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do, I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Ev'rybody wants to rule the world

So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Ev'rybody wants to rule the world
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Ev'rybody wants to rule the world

I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Ev'rybody wants to rule the world
Say you'll never, never, never, need it
One headline, why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Ev'rybody wants to rule the world

All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever last forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Ev'rybody wants to rule the world

So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Ev'rybody wants to rule the world
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Ev'rybody wants to rule the world
