I saw a recent version of Tears for Fears performing “Everybody Want to Rule the World.” And it’s amazing to see them then (1985) and now. Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal – 40 years apart.
They sound the same and every time I hear them and the guitar riff in the center of the song, it transports me back to 1985.
I listen to this, and all Tears for Fears songs from the “Songs from the Big Chair” album, in my car almost daily. Sometimes I go out of my way while driving, to pass a business I used to work at in 1985 and while listening to Tears for Fears, I feel as if I am back in time – you know, time travel.
Then the traffic light changes and I drive back into reality.
Here is today’s version. Excellent.
Now I have this in my head all day. But that’s ok. I’ll spend the day in 1985.
I know, some countries like Canada, don’t allow these videos to be shown here, so here are the YouTube links:
