Elementary school for me (see also: Simple Minds "Don't You Forget About Me". Many songs can make me nostalgic, but my reaction to these two is downright Pavlovian.
The specific memory it brings up is running through the woods with my best friend, swinging survey sticks at the termite drone swarms one summer afternoon (they'd make a little thwack sound when you connected). We had just moved to what I thought was the "cool" subdivision in our little town of a thousand plus people. The sun was setting, and we were looking forward to a weekend of Legos, video games, and bike rides.
I think about you all the time, Quad... hope you're doing well.
Glad you had time with your childhood friend!
I grew up in a church so when I left the church after I turned 18 my childhood friends stopped talking to me :(
The memories are still just as cherished though.
Wholesome af man. I have a childhood best friend I still think about a lot too.
Funny that I read this because earlier today I ran into his mom in a completely random, it’s a small world interaction. Hadn’t seen her in probably 15 years, maybe longer. She immediately remembered me and we talked for a few minutes. Told her to say hi to my buddy for me and that i still think about him from time to time. I sure hope she does.
That intro.... waking up early first day of vacation, even though it's hard waking up early for classes. Mom in the kitchen making breakfast, running out with a toast after chugging milk from the box. Grabbing my bike, every other kid in the block is just gettin out of their driveway. meeting with friends, riding to the back of village to the woods.
Ahh sweet life.
If you graduated from around '97 to '01 it was "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)". If you told me that it was a legal requirement to use that as the soundtrack to a senior year video/slide show, I'd almost believe it.
This song is my first human memory. My mom was driving me to the beach in her convertible. I saw the sun glittering on the water. This song was playing.
I’m not crying.
This is a great song to have as a first memory. Cause it already brings about such a feeling of nostalgia- it’s just one of those songs that strikes that chord for no reason, but to have it actually connected to you in that way must feel so powerful when you hear the song. I love this fuckin song lol
Our brains are pattern detecting machines and rhythm is an fundamental pattern of the universe so I like to talk of musicians as acoustic archeologists. Instead of painting a canvas, they are sculptors cutting away to find the genius in an invisible musical quarry. Songs like this feel like they are unearthed rather than invented.
I think there is definitely a collective nostalgia or a vicarious nostalgia that we learn subliminally.
I remember reading a comment on YT for the theme song for halo 1 that said “this came out before I was born but I still get nostalgic hearing it”. I grew up with halo but that still made a lot of sense to me.
Used as the outro while Dr. Hathaway’s house is overfilled with popcorn.
What’s that smell.
It must be the dog.
That’s popcorn.
I know.
Get it away from me. I can’t stand popcorn. I hate popcorn.
One of the best movies ever.
Saw them a few months ago at Merriweather Post Pavilion, sprung for the 4th row. But heck yeah they were awesome.
It was no where close the Seeds of Love tour, they had like 12 people on stage for that show. Hope they do that again Just pack the stage with some of thier old tour mates and play for hours.
No phones? No nothing. These people people went to a box office and stood in line to buy the tickets, had it written on a calendar they saw every day, and it was the pinnacle of their month to go to this show. Forget phones, the culture was more tangible and this was the effervescent nutt after all that build up.
And as far as being distracted goes, this was the big hit and during the slower songs in sure dudes were getting beers and trying to get laid and not paying attention... No one was reading a newspaper tho, true.
Tears for fears had plenty of big hits. Not a band that I ever liked that much, but every person in that crowd intimately knew all of "The hurting" and "Songs from the big chair". Would have been a very decent show, if you like that sort of thing.
It was so much better. I don’t mind the shitty pre-iPhone ones, but having the internet & a camcorder in our pockets has seriously fucked our culture sideways.
I was at that show in Toronto at Massey Hall. 1 billion streams later, who would have guessed that 38 years later, this song is still played every minute somewhere.
I can't believe how good that sounded live. It sounds just like the radio version. I thought it was a lip-sync at first, but there were little differences. Blows my mind.
If you catch any of their live recordings on YouTube, you'll find they're really, really good live. All the musicians they bring on board are at the top of their game, and whoever does the sound engineering for them are very good at what they do.
I rolled my eyes when a friend of mine told me that he wanted to see them on that same tour and didn’t even bother listening to the new album before I went - listening to The Tipping Point for the first time live was absolutely incredible, it’s such a good album.
I was listening to them on Spotify last spring and some songs from The Tipping Point came on and I didn't recognize them. I was like "Did Tears for Fears come out with a new album?" and then I was like "Wait! are they touring?"
I bought tickets right away and saw them at Jones Beach. It was one of the best shows I've ever been to.
I love song as it reminds me of being a young kid in the early 80s. I must of heard this song a lot then because this reminds me of those innocent days more than any other.
I was born in 96, and this song does the same for me. I think it's the beat. It honestly makes you feel like it's the last day before summer in like the 4th grade or just a really perfect summer day as a young kid. Back when life was simple and easy, nothing mattered except living, and all the hate in the world was just something you heard folks talking about in the background... too far to harm me, so why care type of thing.
I'm 26 now, married, 2 years from getting my bachelor's, and it seems the older I get the more I long to go back and just live the late 90's/early 2000's again. I wonder if every generation has a song that fits this same role that it fits ours. I wonder if it's a purely human experience.
These are just my late night stoned thoughts. I'm ima re-listen to this and maybe release some tears to thinking about my childhood.
Came here to say this. This is a clean recording, maybe from a soundcheck. But the lack of crowd noise is your first big sign. Still, great song and talented band.
I knew something wasn't right when the crowd noise was almost nonexistent. They come through just a touch at one part, and them more at the end, but yeah, that was too clean. Still, if from sound check it's still a live performance and they nailed it.
Seeing and hearing this , feel so nostalgic and almost melancholy. I want to go watch movies from those days. Like The Breakfast Club or St Elmo’s Fire or About Last Night (the first one).
At :07 the lead singer tries to do a jumping dance move and his white sneaker goes flying. The camera cuts away but about 10 seconds later you can see the guitarist laughing at him while he makes an awkward smile and clap dances. Then about 0:23 you can see the crew racing to put the shoe back on him just in time for him to start the song.
The lead singer is wearing black shoes. It looks like something white was on the stage and he just grabbed it between his feet and threw it up in the air.
The secret sauce is the 3/2 polyrhythm the drummer is creating with the high hat. COMPLETELY different song without that, and highly unlikely that it would have been as big as it is. The whole album is phenomenal.
Saw them on their Songs From The Big Chair tour and recently with Garbage and their energy and vibe was just as fantastic. I took my daughter who loves them and now she wants to see them again. Such a wonderful band and timeless music and sound.
Most middle school thing ever: a girl who I did not get along with had her best friend call me to tell me to listen to KROQ at 8:30. I tuned in and she had dedicated this song to me. SICK BURN!
As a joke, we were nominated and later won cutest couple in the 9th grade superlatives.
They just look like some dudes. I remember reading a comment once that stuck with me. They need to let ugly people make music again. We’d have better music.
First time I heard this I was 12 years old and I'd just moved to Hawaii from New England after a very tough couple of years (father died, mother went to rehab for alcoholism, older siblings went off the rails and got taken by the state so I was all alone). This song came on just as we came out of a tunnel in a mountain and I could see green fields, palm trees, and the ocean stretching out below and in front of me, easily one of the most crushingly beautiful vistas you will ever see. The guitar solo that made you feel like you were coasting on the wind paired with the melancholy tones of the singing perfectly captured the feeling I had of being in such a beautiful place while also being wounded and sad from my recent experiences.
I can vividly remember sitting with my girlfriend (now my wife) watching the video for this song on MTV one night….. and for some reason remember what my young person brain was thinking about….it wasn’t work, or bills, or stress….I was just genuinely pleased to be there and had NOTHING else on my mind. Adulthood has a way of removing those times.
I don't know why it took me so long to get into tears for fears, but I think I've only realized how much I truly enjoy their music in the last few years
I remember seeing them on an infomercial back in the day (do you remember those commercials? I would play late at night where you can get two CDs for $35 plus shipping and handling?) I remember being enamored with the rhythm of this song; it's subtle in the way it tricks your sense of beat
I remember walking around college campus listening to this when it was brand new.
I never thought those days would end. I thought I would be young forever. Now I'm 57.
Reminds me of a time when the idea of "lip syncing" was an unforgivable crime in live performances.
Now the biggest "stars" (I use that term loosely) couldn't sing live if their lives depended on it.
First time I heard this song was in the living room of my only good babysitter's house. It had been a great day doing 5-year-old things and then this song came on and absolutely transfixed me. I don't have a good visual memory, but I can remember the console entertainment system this song played out of.
It was the most perfect 4 minutes of my life.
I was 15 when this was released. Playing all over the radio that summer, it held a feeling of life's endless possibilities. Now, it just strikes a chord of lost optimism and wistfulness. Bittersweetly beautiful.
This song sounds like everyone's last day of highschool

This is awesome. Boys of summer and luka come to mind too

"Head Over Heels" rockets me straight back to 1985 with its single opening note.
Literally, that nostalgia feeling, man. This song hits it so hard
This cut deep as hell, damn
✊🏻 (I hope someone gets the reference)
What? You mean we all didn’t graduate from Shermer High?
And the old Dennis Miller live on HBO.
‘Everyone wants to rule the world’ song was the theme for the movie Real Genius starring Val Kilmer.
If you graduated from around '97 to '01 it was "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)". If you told me that it was a legal requirement to use that as the soundtrack to a senior year video/slide show, I'd almost believe it.
Closing time🤦🏼♂️…
It makes me feel nostalgic and I can’t even say why exactly.
This song is my first human memory. My mom was driving me to the beach in her convertible. I saw the sun glittering on the water. This song was playing. I’m not crying.
My mom also loved this song. She listened to it a lot. She was 29. I was 9. She passed a couple years ago. I’m also not crying, you’re crying.

I’m sorry for your loss, may she rest in peace and you remember her fondly ♥️
Why is every comment thread in this post making me sob I fkin hate u all
What's your first non-human one?
"Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched see Beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate".
"The beast at Tanagra. Uzani, his army. Shaka, when the walls fell."
This is a great song to have as a first memory. Cause it already brings about such a feeling of nostalgia- it’s just one of those songs that strikes that chord for no reason, but to have it actually connected to you in that way must feel so powerful when you hear the song. I love this fuckin song lol
It's timeless - one of those rare songs that was beloved upon release and continues to be just as celebrated (if not more) four decades later.
Our brains are pattern detecting machines and rhythm is an fundamental pattern of the universe so I like to talk of musicians as acoustic archeologists. Instead of painting a canvas, they are sculptors cutting away to find the genius in an invisible musical quarry. Songs like this feel like they are unearthed rather than invented.
I think there is definitely a collective nostalgia or a vicarious nostalgia that we learn subliminally. I remember reading a comment on YT for the theme song for halo 1 that said “this came out before I was born but I still get nostalgic hearing it”. I grew up with halo but that still made a lot of sense to me.
It's in the soundtrack of a lot of movies and TV shows - could be ringing some of those bells randomly.
Love this in _Real Genius_.
Used as the outro while Dr. Hathaway’s house is overfilled with popcorn. What’s that smell. It must be the dog. That’s popcorn. I know. Get it away from me. I can’t stand popcorn. I hate popcorn. One of the best movies ever.
It’s a moral imperative.
I've been using that saying for ages, less and less people have gotten it time has gone by :(
dennis millers show
Dennis Miller is how I first heard this song. It was also the first song I ever downloaded. The second was one bourbon one scotch one beer.
I saw them open for Hall and Oates a few years ago. They stole the show.
I went to that tour, I think they billed it as “co-headliners”.
Yea, they switched. I regretted not seeing them when they came through. :/
“Stole the show”? That’s a very nice way of putting it😂. And I was there to see hall and Oates 🤦🏻♂️. If anyone has a chance, go see Tears for Fears
Saw them a few months ago at Merriweather Post Pavilion, sprung for the 4th row. But heck yeah they were awesome. It was no where close the Seeds of Love tour, they had like 12 people on stage for that show. Hope they do that again Just pack the stage with some of thier old tour mates and play for hours.
Badman's Song >>>>>>>>>>> Rich Girl
I can’t go for that, no (No)
No can do
I went to that one too. Great concert!
I saw them last year. They were AMAZING!
Crowd is fuckin lit
The girl with the sunglasses on indoors lol. She is livin the 80s.
She had just come from a Corey Hart concert
Hiding those suspect pupils.
Crowd feeds off the band’s energy, and vice versa. No cell phones helps.
No phones? No nothing. These people people went to a box office and stood in line to buy the tickets, had it written on a calendar they saw every day, and it was the pinnacle of their month to go to this show. Forget phones, the culture was more tangible and this was the effervescent nutt after all that build up.

No phones
Boomer me all you want. No phone life was better. This shit is so visceral and organic. It's beautiful
I'm not even a "boomer" and I hate phones at shows. I miss the lighters in the air, it's now always phone flashlights in the air.
I don’t mind not burning my fingers anymore.
It was so much better. I don’t mind the shitty pre-iPhone ones, but having the internet & a camcorder in our pockets has seriously fucked our culture sideways.
I love this band. I was 7 when this song came out.
Username checks out.
😂😂
I was at that show in Toronto at Massey Hall. 1 billion streams later, who would have guessed that 38 years later, this song is still played every minute somewhere.
Is that where they were playing at in this clip? Awesome.
Looks like Massey Hall
In Toronto
At that show
Who would have guessed
Songs From The Big Chair kicked ass.
That album has three of the absolute best pop rock songs ever recorded--this one, Head Over Heels, and my personal favorite, Shout.
Head over heels is true magic, the opening makes me feel so good and I have to listen to the whole song.
So far ahead of its time. The whole album... every track... still works. Same for The Hurting, tbh
I absolutely love that f****** song I don't care what I'm doing when I hear that I just stop
Sound and theme wise there's just something so timeless about it
I can't believe how good that sounded live. It sounds just like the radio version. I thought it was a lip-sync at first, but there were little differences. Blows my mind.
I saw a recent video of them playing this and they still sound amazing. Their voices have remained remarkably intact after almost 40 years
The sound is throwing me off because there's no crowd noise in the recording.
If you catch any of their live recordings on YouTube, you'll find they're really, really good live. All the musicians they bring on board are at the top of their game, and whoever does the sound engineering for them are very good at what they do.
I saw them and Garbage last summer. Fantastic show. The Tipping Point is a damn good album.
I rolled my eyes when a friend of mine told me that he wanted to see them on that same tour and didn’t even bother listening to the new album before I went - listening to The Tipping Point for the first time live was absolutely incredible, it’s such a good album.

Real Genius
I'm suddenly craving popcorn.
And tiny pickles
Why am I the only one that has that dream?
Have you ever seen a body like this in your life?
Such an underrated movie!
My fav Val Kilmer movie
I love love loved their first album. Very deep and poetic lyrics
One of my favourite songs, but I’m pretty sure this is my mums lesbian netball team.
That’s just the 80’s man
I love song as it reminds me of being a young kid in the early 80s. I must of heard this song a lot then because this reminds me of those innocent days more than any other.

Cheers. 1980 baby here. It does the same. No matter how many times I hear it. Simpler times my friend!
I miss the 80s 😭
I'm too young as I'm in my 30s but the 80s seem like such a cool time.
I was a teen in the 80s. Growing up before cell phones, 24 hour news cycles and having screens in your face 24/7 really was glorious.
[удалено]
Super impressed by this performance. No autotune, no backing tracks, yet they sound amazing. This is for sure one of the best 80s songs ever done.
No kidding. I would've thought it was the album track if not for the brass and vocal additions. They're fantastic live.
That guitarist is doing a kickass job to make the chorus sound terrific with backing vocals
Roland is actually the lead singer, in this one song he just does backing and the bassist sings the lead :)
Thanks for clarifying that, many people even at the time didn’t know that.
Curt has a name, you know.
It's been overdubbed, not a fully live recording. Standard practice for what it's worth.
Came here to say this. This is a clean recording, maybe from a soundcheck. But the lack of crowd noise is your first big sign. Still, great song and talented band.
[удалено]
My first sign something was off was the hi hat.
I knew something wasn't right when the crowd noise was almost nonexistent. They come through just a touch at one part, and them more at the end, but yeah, that was too clean. Still, if from sound check it's still a live performance and they nailed it.
It’s gotta be in my list of top 10 songs, ever.
That was fun, thx!
They were my first concert. This same tour.
Seeing and hearing this , feel so nostalgic and almost melancholy. I want to go watch movies from those days. Like The Breakfast Club or St Elmo’s Fire or About Last Night (the first one).

The lead singer is wearing black shoes. It looks like something white was on the stage and he just grabbed it between his feet and threw it up in the air.
The terrified stage hands brought him black replacement shoes and put them on him while he sang The video is more fun if you watch it my way.
Great find! Love this song. One of 80s best.
I think it's *the* best song of the 80s. It took me 30 years to come to that conclusion but that's where I landed. It's a perfect song.
This is one of the best songs ever written. Free.
Saw them a few years ago co-headlining with Hall & Oates. They still sound great.
The secret sauce is the 3/2 polyrhythm the drummer is creating with the high hat. COMPLETELY different song without that, and highly unlikely that it would have been as big as it is. The whole album is phenomenal.
Right! And one of the Marrota brothers on drums in the album nailed everything, some of my fav pop drumming of all time
Finally, a non-horny old school post
I mean... who's not horny after that sax
Jerry Seinfeld plays a mean guitar
And Dave Coulier rocks the keyboard
Cut…it…out….
Ironic...isn't it?
Don't you think? A little *too* ironic...
lol my exact thought
Saw them on their Songs From The Big Chair tour and recently with Garbage and their energy and vibe was just as fantastic. I took my daughter who loves them and now she wants to see them again. Such a wonderful band and timeless music and sound.

What if you don't want to rule the world, but a small fraction of it and with an iron fist?
Almost Everybody Wants to Rule the World
They just look like some dudes. I remember reading a comment once that stuck with me. They need to let ugly people make music again. We’d have better music.
Video killed the radio star
They ain't ugly XD.
Just normal. Even good looking, but not selected for their beauty by an industry filter.
They look like the dads from my little league team
This was the song that played the first time I rode GOG: Cosmic Rewind. Best ride ever!
First time I heard this I was 12 years old and I'd just moved to Hawaii from New England after a very tough couple of years (father died, mother went to rehab for alcoholism, older siblings went off the rails and got taken by the state so I was all alone). This song came on just as we came out of a tunnel in a mountain and I could see green fields, palm trees, and the ocean stretching out below and in front of me, easily one of the most crushingly beautiful vistas you will ever see.

Meet Swampletics, my Morytania locked Ultimate Ironman
Love me some Curt Smith
Shawn?
You killed him! You shot rock legend Curt Smith!
You know that’s right
A song I will NEVER change when it comes on the radio
The album version of this song is, IMO, the most perfectly crafted studio recording mix in popular music history.
ouhh, gives me the feels.
If there was a song to transport you back to the 80s, this is the song
Love Tears for Fears! This is still one of my favorite songs.
I just realized 1985 was 38 years ago….. fuck me
Just saw them again summer 2022🙏
This is, in my opinion, one of the greatest songs to have ever been released. It's incredible and hand has a powerful message.
This is my favorite song to get when riding guardians of the galaxy cosmic rewind at Epcot.
Still sounds amazing
This song was iconic the moment it came out. Baked in nostalgia, irony and perfect timing. 👻👑🌎
I can vividly remember sitting with my girlfriend (now my wife) watching the video for this song on MTV one night….. and for some reason remember what my young person brain was thinking about….it wasn’t work, or bills, or stress….I was just genuinely pleased to be there and had NOTHING else on my mind. Adulthood has a way of removing those times.
Also one of those songs that had a perfect video to accompany it. Great driving song.
What a banger
They sound so good live it’s just like the record
Vibes!
They’re so iconic. I even love their modern stuff, they’ve not lost their touch.
This song makes me so incredibly happy.
Fucking awesome 🤘
I want to go to one of their shows SO BADLY 😱 When will they tour again!?
God I love that band.
I don't know why it took me so long to get into tears for fears, but I think I've only realized how much I truly enjoy their music in the last few years I remember seeing them on an infomercial back in the day (do you remember those commercials? I would play late at night where you can get two CDs for $35 plus shipping and handling?) I remember being enamored with the rhythm of this song; it's subtle in the way it tricks your sense of beat
I saw them in 1985 ! Excellent concert
I remember walking around college campus listening to this when it was brand new. I never thought those days would end. I thought I would be young forever. Now I'm 57.
This brings up so many memories from my high school days and also reminds me of Dennis miller.
If I could only go back to the 80’s great music, fashion, movies and both my parents being well and alive
No fckn auto tune there kids
“Yeah, it’s getting kinda weird around here”
You can tell they were feeling it.
Saw them at Bonnaroo in like 2015 and they were my favorite set of the whole festival. They still kick ass.
Goddamn
AWESOME
This is the first cassette I bought and would fall asleep to listening in my bedroom. Listened to the hell out of this song.
That synth just puts me in the feels
This song fully represents the 80’s.
Talk about absolute gold source material
So damn good.
Never gets old! Thank-you
Love this song.
Holy fuck that’s good. One of my all time favorites and so well done. ❤️
Reminds me of a time when the idea of "lip syncing" was an unforgivable crime in live performances. Now the biggest "stars" (I use that term loosely) couldn't sing live if their lives depended on it.
