Am 25. Februar 1985 haben Tears for Fears ihr zweites Album "Songs From The Big Chair" veröffentlicht, auf dem mit "Shout" oder "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" große Hits sind. Schon mit ihrem Debütalbum "The Hurting" haben Tears for Fears Anfang der 80er-Jahre die Charts erobert und es in ihrer britischen Heimat bis auf Platz 1 geschafft. Mit "Songs From The Big Chair" haben es Roland Orzabal und Curt Smith dann auch bei uns in Deutschland an die Spitze der Charts geschafft. Mit "Shout", "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" und "Head Over Heels" sind auch einige ihrer größten Hits auf dem Album "Songs From The Big Chair". Mit solchen Songs und über neun Millionen verkauften Einheiten, höchsten Chartplatzierungen, da ist unser persönliches Meilenstein-Siegel keine Überraschung. Natürlich sind reine Verkaufszahlen für uns kein Grund, über ein Album zu sprechen, aber diese sagenhafte Platte hat unglaublich viel zu bieten, allem voran natürlich zeigt sie, wie Tears for Fears sich auch musikalisch weiterentwickelt haben nach ihrem Debüt "The Hurting". Für SWR1 Moderator und Redakteur Dave Jörg ist die glasklar, warum die Platte ein absoluter Meilenstein ist: "Es ist eines der einflussreichsten Pop- und Synth-Pop-Alben der 80er und hat ein grandioses Songwriting, tolle Musiker, eine Hammerproduktion, einen brachialen Sound – der auch heute immer noch frisch, knackig und fett klingt." __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "Songs From The Big Chair" wird im Podcast gesprochen (11:15) – "Shout"(27:26) – "Everybody Wants To Rule The World"(34:59) – "Mothers Talk"(46:23) – "I Believe"(51:03) – "Head Over Heels"__________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge: https://1.ard.de/tears-for-fears-songs-from-the-big-chair-podcast __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

Renowned Presidential speechwriter-turned-sports-historian Curt Smith joins the podcast this week for an erudite look at the not-so-obvious concentricity between the story of baseball in America with both the growth of broadcasting and the evolution of electoral politics.   Drawing from some of his most seminal works on baseball history - most notably 1987's iconic Voices of the Game, the anthological Memories from the Microphone, and the newly updated-in-paperback The Presidents and the Pastime - Smith helps put the game into richer cultural perspective, with astute observations of its unmistakable intertwinement with media and government. + + +  SUPPORT THE SHOW:  Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable "Good Seats" Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/?ref_id=35106 BUY THE BOOKS (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!): Voices of the Game: The Acclaimed Chronicle of Baseball Radio and Television Broadcasting - from 1921 to the Present (1992): https://amzn.to/4gYnvV0 Memories from the Microphone: A Century of Baseball Broadcasting (2021): https://amzn.to/4h6cVvr The Presidents and the Pastime: The History of Baseball and the White House (2024): https://amzn.to/4gTMQ2E   SPONSOR THANKS (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!): Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS) https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats Yinzylvania (20% off promo code: GOODSEATSSTILLAVAILABLE): https://yinzylvania.com/GOODSEATSSTILLAVAILABLE   FIND AND FOLLOW: Website: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable

Everybody Loves a Happy Ending (2004): Después de varios años de separación y proyectos en solitario, Orzabal y Smith volvieron a colaborar. Este álbum mantiene el estilo característico de la banda y muestra un enfoque optimista en sus letras. The Tipping Point (2022): Después de casi dos décadas sin un álbum de estudio, la banda lanzó *The Tipping Point*, que aborda temas como la pérdida, el cambio y la redención. La madurez de las letras y el sonido demuestra su evolución y vigencia. Tears for Fears se caracteriza por letras introspectivas y una mezcla de géneros que va desde el synth-pop y el new wave de los primeros trabajos hasta el pop rock más complejo de sus álbumes posteriores.

Aerosmith is a band in two acts.  They were a highly successful group in the 70's, but arguments and drugs left the band a shade of its former self by 1980.  A second chance was presented when the crossover collaboration between Aerosmith and Run-D.M.C. on "Walk this Way" became a number 4 US hit in 1986.  The bad went into drug rehab at the insistence of manager Tim Collins, and had a major hit with their ninth studio album "Permanent Vacation."Aerosmith demonstrated that their second act was not just a fluke with their tenth studio album, Pump, which was even more successful than Permanent Vacation.  This was a significant comeback, re-establishing the band as one of rock's premier acts.  The album was polished and energetic, combining a gritty hard rock sound with pop sensibilities.  The album was not only a commercial success, peaking at number 5 on the US charts and being certified 7x platinum by 1995, but was also a critical success, landing Aerosmith their first Grammy for "Janie's Got a Gun."  Pump was the fourth best-selling album of the year 1990.The band lineup for this album had Steven Tyler on vocals, keyboards, and harmonica, Joe Perry on guitar and backing vocals, Brad Whitford on guitar, Tom Hamiilton on bass, and Joey Kramer on drums.  Guitarist Brad Whitford explained the album title on a 1989 MTV special by saying "now that we're off drugs, we're all pumped up."  John Lynch brings us this stellar rock and pop sensation this week. Water Song/Janie's Got a GunA 10-second instrumental called "Water Song" precedes the song written by Steven Tyler and Tom Hamilton.  The second single from the album went to number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.  It describes the revenge of a young woman for the childhood abuse she experienced.  Aerosmith won the 1990 Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for this song.Dulcimer Stomp/The Other SideAnother song with a brief instrumental lead-in, this was the fourth single released from the album.  It was written by Jim Vallance and Steven Tyler, with Holland-Dozier-Holland receiving songwriting credit after threatening to file suit over similarities between this and their song "Standing in the Shadows of Love."  The lyrics are about a turbulent relationship, with the singer wanting to get past the emotional roller-coaster. Monkey on My BackIt is difficult to find a deep cut on this album, but this is one that was not released as a single.  Tyler and Perry wrote this track about the band's struggles with addiction.  It was the first song that Tyler and Perry wrote for the album, and it was composed in November 1988 prior to the end of their Permanent Vacation tour.Going Down/Love In an ElevatorA double entendre-laden skit leads in this double entendre-laden song.  Tyler and Perry wrote this piece, and it was inspired by an actual experience Steven Tyler had where he was making out with a woman in an elevator and the doors opened.  It was nominated for a Grammy in 1990 for Best Hard Rock Performance, but Aerosmith lost out to Living Colour on that one. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Theme from the television music performance and dance program “American Bandstand” Dick Clark's music show which premiered in March 1952 had its final show on October 7, 1989. STAFF PICKS:Sowing the Seeds of Love by Tears for FearsBruce brings us a Beatles-esque song from the third Tears for Fears album, "Seeds of Love."  It was written by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, and hit number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, their fourth and final entry into the top 10.  Orzabal considers it to be the most overtly political song Tears for Fears had written at the time.  Big Talk by WarrantRob's staff pick is a rocking tune from glam metal band Warrant's first album, "Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich."  This third single from the album made it to number 30 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart, though it only made it to number 93 on the Billboard Hot 100.  The album went to number 10 on the Billboard 200 chart.Pictures of Matchstick Men by Camper Van Beethoven Wayne brings us a cover of the first hit single by Status Quo, released in 1968.  This rendition combines elements of pop, ska, punk, folks, alternative, and country.  the "Matchstick men" reference is to the paintings of L.S.

But it almost immediately rose from the ashes to become one of the first cult hits of the 21st century...and it took the music of '80s band Tears for Fears along for the ride.Host Rico Gagliano tells this twisty tale with the help of Kelly, star Jena Malone (THE HUNGER GAMES), and the film's composer Michael Andrews—whose stripped-down cover of Tears's "Mad World" became maybe the most unlikely smash hit in UK history. To celebrate our new season of the podcast, we're partnering with the American Cinematheque to present a double feature of DONNIE DARKO and THE EVIL DEAD on Sunday April 9th at Santa Monica's Aero Theatre. Rico Gagliano and Richard Kelly will attend for an in-person discussion.

Curt Smith is one-half of the band Tears for Fears, along with childhood friend and bandmate Roland Orzabal. Smith and Orzabal met as teenagers in Bath, England and formed a band that would go on to release hit after hit, from “Mad World” to “Shout,” ultimately selling over 30 million albums worldwide. From their debut album in 1983, “The Hurting,” Tears for Fears created a synth-heavy and lyrically complex sound that still resonates with audiences four decades later. Following the release of their latest album, “The Tipping Point,” Alec speaks to Curt Smith about forming a creative partnership bourne out of differing voices, how they found the sound for “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” and what led to his departure from the group in the 1990s - and their eventual reunion that happened via fax. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chris & Kelsey awaken their inner mall goths and get freaky with time and space. The Classic Film: Donnie Darko (2001) "After narrowly escaping a bizarre accident, a troubled teenager is plagued by visions of a man in a large rabbit suit who manipulates him to commit a series of crimes” (IMDb.com). Donnie Darko is one of Kelsey's all-time faves from her youth, but does it hold up? And should you watch the Theatrical or Director's Cut? The Modern Film: Coherence (2013) "Strange things begin to happen when a group of friends gather for a dinner party on an evening when a comet is passing overhead” (IMDb.com). Filmed in the director's house on a micro-budget of $50,000, Coherence shows you can still do big things if you have the right big idea.

Tears for Fears comes from Bath, England, and were formed by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith.  Their first album, "The Hurting" was released in 1983 and was successful with songs like "Mad World" and "Pale Shelter."  However, their second album entitled Songs from the Big Chair, a title taken from the motion picture "Sybil" would be the one to propel them to super-stardom.  It peaked at number 2 in the UK and number 1 in the US.  In addition to Orzabal and Smith, Ian Stanley is on keyboards, and Manny Elias is on drums and drum arrangement.Orzabal and Smith were inspired by electronic and synth-pop bands like Depeche Mode, Soft Cell, and Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark.  They started off as a duo initially called History of Headaches.  The name Tears for Fears comes from primal therapy, a psychological treatment developed by Arthur Janov.Shortly after their follow-up third album ”The Seeds of Love,” Orzabal and Smith had a big falling out, breaking up the band in 1991.  They would get back together in 2000, and are still touring and releasing albums today. Everybody Wants to Rule the WorldThis is the signature song from the album.  Bassist Curt Smith takes the lead vocals, and the lyrics are about the desire for power and about corruption.  It was a last minute addition to the album and was recorded in two weeks as the final track to be laid down.  ShoutThe lead-off track and second single to the album features Orzabal on lead vocals.  While many think this is about primal scream theory, Orzabal has said it is actually more about political protest.BrokenThis is a short piece with lyrics that have an angst-ridden declaration that we are all broken.  It is also commonly played in concert just in front of the next piece which also reprises Broken at the end.  Head Over HeelsThis is your classic “boy obsesses over girl” song.  It was released as the fourth single from the album, but it had been bouncing around for about 2 years along with Broken.  Orzabal takes vocal lead on this one. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Neutron Dance by The Pointer Sisters (from the motion picture "Beverly Hills Cop”)Eddie Murphy's Beverly Hills Cop propelled both his career and this song originally appearing on a 1983 album to the top. STAFF PICKS:If I Had A Rocket Launcher by Bruce CockburnWayne launches the staff picks with a protest song from Canada's own Bruce Cockburn.  The song lyrics tell the story from the perspective of the villagers experiencing warfare but being powerless to do anything about it.Valotte by Julian LennonRob brings us the title track from Julian Lennon's debut studio album.  The resemblance between Julian and his father are obvious.  Many think the river referenced is the Tennessee River near Muscle Shoals where portions of the album were recorded.I Can't Hold Back by SurvivorBrian demonstrates that Survivor wasn't a one-hit wonder after all.  It starts with a nice acoustic guitar and builds quickly.  This single reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100.  This is the first album with Jimi Jamison on lead vocals.Sunset Grill by Don HenleyBruce finishes off the staff picks with the ex Eagles' single that hit number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100.  The Sunset Grill is a hamburger restaurant on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles.  The Austrian restaurant owner didn't know that his frequent visitor was Don Henley until after the song came out, making their hole-in-the-wall burger joint famous. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Listen by the Tears for FearsWe do a little double-dipping with this (almost) instrumental from "Songs From the Big Chair."
