History [edit]

Formation and influences [edit]

Orzabal and Smith met as teenagers in Bath, Somerset, England. Their professional person debut came with the ring Graduate, a mod revival/new wave act whose influences included the Jam and two-tone music.^[13] In 1980, Graduate released an album, Acting My Age, and a unmarried "Elvis Should Play Ska" (referring to Elvis Costello). The single only missed the pinnacle 100 in the Uk, but performed well in Espana and in Switzerland. The ring split in 1981. Presently subsequently, Orzabal and Smith became session musicians for the band Neon,^[14] where they starting time met future Tears for Fears drummer Manny Elias. Neon besides featured Pete Byrne and Rob Fisher, who went on to become Naked Eyes.^[15] The pair connected working together, drawing inspiration from artists such as Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel and Brian Eno.^{[16] [17]}

Orzabal and Smith had become intrigued by the instrumentation and studio techniques of synth-pop artists including Gary Numan, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Night (OMD) and Depeche Mode, and consequently moved their project in a more electronic direction.^{[xiii] [eighteen]} The likes of OMD and Soft Cell had popularised the "duo" presentation within the synth-popular scene, inspiring Orzabal and Smith to package themselves as a 2-man unit of measurement, initially under the name History of Headaches.^{[nineteen] [20]} The name Tears for Fears was inspired by primal therapy, adult past the American psychologist Arthur Janov, which gained tremendous publicity afterward John Lennon became Janov'due south patient in 1970.^[21] When Smith and Orzabal finally met Janov in the mid-1980s, they were disillusioned to notice he had become quite "Hollywood" and wanted the ring to write a musical for him.^[22]

As Tears for Fears, Orzabal and Smith intended to form the nucleus of the group and bring in surrounding musicians to help them complete the picture show. Around this time they met local musician Ian Stanley, who offered them costless use of his abode 8-rail studio. Stanley began working with the duo as their keyboard-player and, after recording 2 demos, Tears for Fears were signed to Phonogram Records in the UK in 1981 by A&R managing director Dave Bates. Their first single, "Suffer the Children", produced by David Lord, was released on that characterization in November 1981, followed by the first edition of "Pale Shelter" (produced by Mike Howlett) in March 1982, only neither release was successful.

The Hurting and beginning international successes (1982–1983) [edit]

The band accomplished their first gustatory modality of success with their tertiary unmarried, "Mad World", which reached No. 3 in the United kingdom in November 1982.^[23] Their first anthology, The Hurting, was released in March 1983. For this album (and the side by side), keyboardist and composer Ian Stanley and drummer Manny Elias were considered total band members, though Smith and Orzabal were even so substantially the frontmen and public face[s] of the band.

The album, produced by Chris Hughes and Ross Cullum, showcased guitar- and synthesizer-based songs with lyrics reflecting Orzabal's bitter babyhood and his interest in cardinal therapy.^[16] The album was a big success and had a lengthy chart run (65 weeks) in the UK, where it reached No. 1 and platinum status. It too reached the meridian twenty in several other countries and yielded the international hit singles "Mad World" (top 5 hit in South Africa), "Change" (top 40 hit in Commonwealth of australia, Canada, Ireland, Israel, Italian republic, the Netherlands, Poland and South Africa – their first unmarried to attain the US Billboard Hot 100), and a re-recorded version of "Pale Shelter". All three of these singles reached the Top 5 in the Great britain.

Towards the end of 1983, the band released a new, slightly more experimental single, "The Manner You Are", intended as a stopgap while they worked on their second anthology. The unmarried was a height-xxx hit in the United kingdom, but did non come close to matching the success of their three previous hits, despite a national concert tour in December of that yr (captured on the In My Mind's Eye live video release). The single, which heavily featured sampling and programmed rhythms, was a departure from Tears for Fears' previous musical approach. In the liner notes to their 1996 B-sides compilation anthology Saturnine Martial & Lunatic they wrote "this was the signal we realised we had to modify management", though the somewhat experimental way of the single continued to be reflected in their forthcoming B-sides.

Songs from the Large Chair and worldwide fame (1984–1986) [edit]

In early 1984, they began working with a new producer, Jeremy Green, on their new single "Mothers Talk". However, the ring were ultimately unhappy with the results and and so producer Chris Hughes was brought back into the fold and the "Mothers Talk" single re-produced for release in August 1984. A departure from their earlier works, the single became a top-20 hit in the UK, merely it was the follow-up single "Shout" (released in the UK in November 1984) that was the existent beginning of the ring's international fame.

"Shout", a top-five U.k. striking, paved the style for their 2d album, Songs from the Big Chair (released in February 1985), which entered the Britain album nautical chart at No. 2 and remained in the upper reaches of the chart for the adjacent 12 months. They did away with the predominantly synthpop feel of the first album, instead expanding into a more sophisticated sound that would become the band's stylistic hallmark. Anchored on the creative hub of Orzabal, Stanley and producer Hughes, the new Tears for Fears sound helped to propel Songs from the Large Chair into becoming i of the year's biggest sellers worldwide, somewhen being certified triple platinum in the Uk and quintuple platinum in the US (where it remained the No. 1 album for five weeks in the summer of 1985).^[24]

The album'southward title was inspired by the book and boob tube miniseries Sybil, the chronicle of a woman with dissociative identity disorder who sought refuge in her annotator's "big chair", Orzabal and Smith stating they felt each of the album'south songs had a distinctive personality of its ain. The band had also recorded a runway titled "The Large Chair", which was released equally the B-side to "Shout" but was not included on the album.

The anthology's success came in conjunction with the array of hit singles it yielded: "Mothers Talk" (re-recorded notwithstanding once more for its US release in 1986), "Shout" (No. 4 UK, No. 1 in the US, Australia, Canada, Deutschland, kingdom of the netherlands, Switzerland and a huge hit in other territories), "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" (their highest-charting Great britain and Irish hit at No. two and another No. 1 in the United states and in Canada), "Head over Heels" (Uk No. 12, US No. 3, Ireland No. five, Canada No. 8), and "I Believe (A Soulful Re-Recording)" (Uk No. 23 and Republic of ireland No. 10).^[25] Some regions even saw the release of limited edition x" singles for these hits, and a multifariousness of double packs and picture discs in addition to the regular seven" and 12" formats.

Post-obit the album's release, the band went on a world tour that lasted nearly of the yr, playing notably at the Montreux Gilt Rose Rock and Pop Festival in May 1985.^[26] In September 1985, the ring performed "Shout" at the 1985 MTV Video Music Awards at the Radio City Music Hall in New York.^[27] Too during the tour, Orzabal and Smith discovered an American female singer/pianist, Oleta Adams, who was performing in a Kansas City hotel bar, and whom they invited to collaborate on their next album. Towards the end of the yr, they released a video drove/documentary titled Scenes from the Big Chair.

In Feb 1986, having completed the lengthy and exhausting Big Chair world tour, Tears for Fears were honoured at the 1986 Brit Awards in London, where they won the Best British Single laurels for "Everybody Wants to Rule the World".^[28] The band was too nominated for Best British Grouping and Best British Album, and Chris Hughes was nominated for Best Producer.^[28] The band performed the song at the ceremony, which became the final public functioning of drummer Manny Elias who left the grouping before long after.

However, on the morning of the celebrated event, it was announced that the band (who had actually been billed to appear at the event earlier they had fifty-fifty agreed to do so) had pulled out of the show. They were replaced past dejection rock group George Thorogood and the Destroyers, which had a strong Philadelphia-area following.

In place of appearing, the band pledged to donate proceeds from their concerts played in Tokyo, Sydney, London and New York.^[29]

Sport Aid's slogan was "I Ran the Globe", therefore Tears for Fears released "Everybody Wants to Run the World" (No. 5 in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland and No. four in Ireland). Indirectly, the band were involved in the before Band Help unmarried "Do They Know It's Christmas?" from 1984, which featured a slowed down sample from their vocal "The Hurting" (from their debut anthology of the same proper noun) in the introduction.

Moving from various studios and using diverse sets of producers over many months, the band ultimately decided to scrap the recordings and take the reins themselves with assistance from engineer Dave Bascombe. Much of the material was recorded in jam sessions and later edited down. The length of the product impacted on the band'due south direction company, who had financially over-extended themselves in other business matters and were hoping for an earlier release engagement to pay off their debts.^{[32] [33]}

The anthology retained the band's epic audio while showing increasing influences ranging from jazz and blues to the Beatles, the latter being axiomatic on the hit unmarried "Sowing the Seeds of Love".^[34] The second single from the anthology was "Woman in Chains" (a top forty hitting in the UK, Canada, French republic, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden and the The states), on which Phil Collins played drums and Oleta Adams—whom Orzabal would later guide to a successful solo career—shared vocals.

Interruption-up (1991–1992) [edit]

After The Seeds of Love, Orzabal and Smith had an acrimonious falling out and parted visitor in 1991. The carve up was blamed on Orzabal'south perfectionist arroyo to production and delays caused by Smith's jetsetting lifestyle and want to tiresome downwards the stride of their piece of work (Smith was too going through a divorce at the time).^[36] Another factor in the break-upwardly was the band's director, Paul King, who declared defalcation in 1990 and was after convicted of fraud in 2004.^{[32] [37]}
