Podcasts about Tears for Fears

One of the most requested episodes in Takin’ A Walk history is back. Buzz Knight’s conversation with Tears for Fears -Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith — the British duo behind some of the most emotionally charged music of the past forty years — resonated with listeners in a way that demanded a second listen. We’re bringing it back. In this encore presentation, Buzz sits down with Tears for Fears to explore the making of The Hurting and Songs from the Big Chair, the albums that gave the world “Shout,” “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” “Head Over Heels,” and “Mad World.” Roland and Curt open up about the therapeutic ideas — primal scream therapy, Arthur Janov’s work, the pain that fueled those early records — that shaped not just their sound but their entire creative identity. The conversation with Tears for Fears goes deep: the behind-the-scenes tension and unlikely alchemy that produced their biggest hits, the creative split that threatened to end it all, and the emotional reunion that eventually led to their acclaimed 2022 comeback album The Tipping Point. They also reflect on four decades of influence — on new wave, synth-pop, alternative rock, and generations of artists who grew up with these songs. If you missed it the first time, now’s your chance. If you loved it, you already know why it’s worth another walk. Enjoyed this episode? Share it with a friend and leave a review wherever you listen.

For Curt Smith, who’s turning 65 this week! (61 minutes)

It is my tremendous honor to be joined by Patrick Walker of Warning and 40 Watt Sun for what is not only first ever non-print interview, but also HardLore's first ever 1 on 1 interview with a guest.In this appropriately intimate chat, we discuss his humble upbringing in Harlow, Essex UK.From the Jackson 5 and Tears For Fears to Revelation and Saint Vitus, we discover how Patrick's emotional connection with music flourished, and how he evolved into someone i've always considered to be one of the most personal and deliberate songwriters in the world. We learn the canonical standing of Warning and 40 Watt Sun in Patrick's point of view, the 20 year lasting legacy of "Watching From A Distance" and why now was finally time to return to Warning for "Rituals of Shame."After years of championing Patrick's work both on and off HardLore, it was an honor not only to have this chat, but to share more about someone whose work I admire so much.

Un nouvel album de PHIDEAUX c'est un bel évènement ! Malheureusement "AutoMoto Animus", titre de ce nouvel opus du multi-instrumentiste texan (dont la musique est traversée par des influences allant de Jethro Tull à Pink Floyd, en passant par Genesis, Vand Der Graff ou encore Bowie), ne sortira qu'après cette saison. Mais le bougre nous laisse une jolie carte de visite avec un premier single à découvrir en ouverture de ce numéro !  La fin de saison approche et il ne reste plus grand chose des atours de Cunégonde qui s'est gracieusement dévoilée depuis la rentrée. Le dernier album d'ANGE vous aura été entièrement exposé tout au long de ce cycle 2024/2025, un superbe opus dans lequel la voix de Tristan Décamps est désormais prédominante mais le Père n'a pas dit son dernier mot, celui de la fin de cet effeuillage sonore sera en effet laissé à Christian Décamps dans notre ultime épisode de fin de saison ! Un groupe qui ayant quelques difficultés à se trouver un nom, "oiseau rare" (but in english in the text!), publie son premier album éponyme en 1969 après avoir été repéré par Tony Smith, le manager de Genesis et Van Der Graaf Generator. Belle opération pour le businessman car le titre "Sympathy" va pulvériser les charts, surtout hors de leur Angleterre natale (il seront par exemple numéro un en France). Mais comme ce "tube" est suffisamment diffusé dans toute bonne radio commerciale qui se respecte, je vous propose donc ici un autre extrait de ce coup d'essai réussi, premier d'une série de 5 albums jusqu'à la dissolution des RARE BIRD en 1974. Parlons maintenant d'une naissance, l'arrivée dans la scène régionale d'un groupe jazz fusion baptisé UNSQUARE. Ce quartet nantais se définit comme du jazz progressif. Deux singles ont été publiés en 2025 sur les plateformes de streaming et un premier EP est attendu pour la fin de cette année. En cas d'impatience ou de curiosité, vous pourrez aller les voir en concert dans le cadre du PROG NIGHT qui se déroulera au Floride à Nantes le 26 juin. Ils y partageront l'affiche avec les groupes Elements et Hamasaari. En attendant, l'un de leurs singles est proposé à vos cages à miel dans cette émission. Autre nouvelle formation, cette fois, plutôt le versant métal du prog : DUALISIS. Un métal qui reste mélodique et accessible avec une jolie voix féminine. Leur 1er EP  "Us" est de bonne augure pour la suite. Ils seront également visibles sur pas mal de scènes avec un agenda bien rempli jusqu'à la fin de l'année ! Pour la région de votre radio préférée, je peux vous indiquer demain 12 juin le V'n B de Saint-Herblain, sinon plus tard et plus au nord : Hennebont (Morbihan) le 10 juillet. Plein d'autres dates sur leur site !  Direction les Pays-Bas avec le nouvel album de GLORIOUS WOLF : "Elements Of Hope". J'ai découvert ce projet porté par Ruud Dielen il y a maintenant 3 ans et quel plaisir de replonger dans son univers ! Ruud est un passionné et s'inspire du rock progressif "old school". Mais attention il produit toutefois une musique ancrée dans notre époque et superbement produite. Le concept de sa dernière œuvre est le passage d'un enfant à l'âge adulte dans un monde chaotique, se retrouvant confronté à de nouveaux défis, comme l'IA. Mais comme le titre l'indique, il y a des raisons d'espérer !  Depuis que Sony s'est offert le catalogue de PINK FLOYD, les commerciaux de la firme se démènent pour nous amener à dépenser régulièrement nos soussous dans leur popoche en revisitant sous toutes les formes possibles les productions de la poule aux oeufs d'or… Cette fois encore ils font appel à Steven Wilson pour rafraichir un peu le teint de cette institution. Il s'agit cette fois d'une compilation de 7 titres considérés sans doute comme les plus "bankables" pour essayer d'attirer un nouveau public et d'un 8ème pour nous convaincre, nous les anciens, de mettre aussi et encore la main à la poche, ce titre étant proposés dans une version quasi inédite  ! 1977, l'album "Animals". Rappelez-vous l'album commence par un très court titre acoustique dédié à la nouvelle femme de Roger Waters, Carolyne Christie. Ce titre, "Pigs On The Wings", est repris en clôture de l'album pour une 2ème partie toute aussi courte. Or à l'origine, cette chanson ne devait en faire qu'une seule, avec sur le pont, un savant l'un de ces solos de guitare comme  David Gilmour sait si bien les faire. Par mégarde en tripatouillant la console pendant l'absence de l'ingé-son, nos musiciens effacent le solo de guitare (on est à l'ère de l'analogique, l'opération est irréversible). Entre alors en cabine Snowy White, guitariste de soutien de scène du groupe (qui collaborera ensuite avec le claviériste Richard Wright pour son premier album solo "Wet Dream" en 1978 puis avec Roger Waters après son départ du Floyd). On propose à Snowy de jouer un solo sur le pont de "Pigs On The Wings", la prise est gardée et le titre est prévu de sortir sous cette forme. Mais Waters choisi finalement de couper le titre en deux partie pour "encadrer" l'album, exit le pont et donc  la partie de Snowy White. La prise originale est toutefois disponible (mais rare !) sur la version cartouches 8 pistes de l'album, concurrence à l'époque de la cassette audio et qui avait pour avantage de pouvoir tourner en boucle sans avoir à être retournée. Ce format, bien plus encombrant que la cassette, sera utilisé essentiellement en radio pour les jingles et les pubs mais ne sera pas développé pour le grand public en Europe. Il connaîtra une distribution assez confidentielle en Amérique du Nord. En anglais cette cartouche est appelée tout simplement "8-tracks cartridge", ainsi la nouvelle compilation, comportant par ailleurs 8 titres a donc été baptisée du double juste titre  "8-Tracks". L'extrait proposé dans ce numéro est cette rare version "non coupée" et avec le solo de White que personnellement je n'avais jamais entendue !    Revenons en France, y compris dans le texte avec une écriture véritable pièce d'orfèvrerie :  ALCAZ.    Je ne connaissais pas  encore ce duo marseillais dont le dernier album intitulé "Le Nid des Anges" est paru l'année dernière.  7ème opus de Jean-Yves Liévaux et Viviane Cayol, mais malheureusement Viviane a été emportée par la maladie peu de temps après sa publication. Reste ce bel héritage que je ne connaissais pas, une musique et des mots que je vous invite à parcourir et une pensée pour Viviane, qui par ailleurs était également peintre. Extrait de ce "Nid des Anges" dans cet épisode d'Amarok. Repartons aux USA, pas pour la coupe du monde (qui à vrai dire m'importe peu), mais pour ce diptyque orwellien "2084" par BUILT FOR THE FUTURE. Il s'agit du 4ème album de ce groupe de San Antonio (Texas). Curieusement le communiqué de presse ne le cite pas mais "2084 La Fin Du Monde" est un livre de Boualem SANSAL. Alors je ne sais pas si le groupe s'en est inspiré ou en a juste repris le titre , n'ayans pas (encore) lu cet ouvrage. Mais côté musique, il s'agit donc après "2084 Heretic" (le précédent album) de "2084 Empire" qui paraît en double CD.  Nos texans futuristes sont de musiciens qui écumaient déjà les scènes dans les années 80 mais qui, motivés par les croisement du rock progressif et de la pop qualitative, de Tears For Fears et Rush à Pink Floyd (encore eux !) décidaient donc de construire l'avenir avec ce beau projet et leur style personnel. Bien leur en a pris, un bel univers à découvrir. Si MIKE OLDFIELD et Richard Branson étaient potes à l'époque de Tubular Bells et dans début des 70's, le second, patron entre autres des disques Virgin, est devenu le meilleur ennemi du premier qui rongeait son frein (bizarre ça comme expression d'ailleurs, qui fait ça ?!!!) en attendant d'être libéré de ses obligations contractuelles au sein du célèbre label. En guise d'ultime album, alors que le milliardaire attendait de son poulain une nouvelle version des fameuses cloches tubulaires, le Maëstro publie en 1991 l'album libérateur "Heaven's Open" qu'il signe de son prénom complet "Michael" et dont il s'approprie exceptionnellement le poste de chanteur principal (ce qui n'est pas sa qualité première). Comme s'il voulait savonner la planche de son patron avant de livrer le "Tubular Bells II" tant attendu à sa nouvelle écurie WEA dès l'année suivante. Un album atypique donc, mais où Oldfield se lâche par exemple en flirtant à sa manière avec des rythmes reggae sur le titre diffusé dans cet épisode : Rendez-moi tous mes attributs !  L'une des influences "old school" de Ruud (cité plus haut pour Glorious Wolf) a peut-être été ce groupe de compatriotes des seventies : FOCUS. On retrouve ici les néerlandais sur le 2ème album logiquement intitulé à l'origine "Focus II" et paru en 1971, album devenu par la suite plus connu et réédité sous le nom de "Moving Waves", histoire de finir en douceur cette nouvelle étape au pays des musiques progressives, l'une des dernières avant la fin du voyage dans deux semaines déjà…   Thierry Joigny AMAROK, chaque jeudi, à 20h  

Vi snackar om lokaltidningsjournalistik på Sweden Rock, Linkin Parks enda Norden-spelning, Disturbeds bristande självinsikt, ett lavemang av dåliga fotbollslåtar, om Thomas Stenström verkligen gillar uppståndelsen, ett 90-tal som kommer tillbaka och annat smått och gott.Dessutom har Ricky Holmquist lyssnat på Tears For Fears och en svensk tolkning samt gammal Kent medan Mikael Mjörnberg försjunkit i A Perfect Circle och minns en gammal Norrköpingsprofil.I den stående punkten "Skivcirkeln" gör vi ett avsteg från ramen och diskuterar veckans spellista "New Music Friday Sweden".Musiken som diskuteras i avsnittet hittar ni här: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5xO9fQPzIsk92fT49iR0Hj?si=db1fc4cf10694de3Vinjettfoto: Martin Wilson (https://www.facebook.com/fotografmartinwilson)Vinjettmusik: Systemet (https://open.spotify.com/artist/72k91zc6DR3LSq87r4fnVO?si=dcfb98a9377e428a)

Ce 8 juin, Marjorie Hache convoque dans RTL2 Pop-Rock Station Depeche Mode, The Black Keys, Janis Joplin, Iron Maiden, Linkin Park, Rage Against The Machine, Joan Jett et The Libertines. Led Zeppelin, Elvis Presley et Daft Punk s'ajoutent à cette belle liste. L'animatrice célèbre surtout le succès de Tears For Fears il y a 41 ans avec la diffusion de l'hymne new wave "Everybody Wants To Rule The World". S'agissant des nouveautés, le trio Saint Agnes fait résonner "The Ghost", Tricky dévoile "Out Of Place" et Fat Dog dégaine le provocateur "Go Fuck Urself". Static Dress et Pain complètent ce panorama électrique. La primeur de la soirée met en lumière le duo franco-américain Faux Real, qui offre la pépite pop avant-gardiste "That Far". L'album de la semaine explore le sixième disque des Danois d'Iceage, "For The Love Of Grace and hereafter", dont on découvre aujourd'hui un puissant extrait dépeignant l'amour comme une force violente. Enfin, la reprise du jour s'annonce culte : le groupe hip-hop Fugees s'approprie avec brio le mythique "Killing Me Softly With His Song", popularisé par Roberta Flack dans les années soixante-dix.

Kirk returns to Kind of Blue, taking a closer look at two more tunes off of the 1959 jazz classic. First, he digs into the modified 12-bar blues "Freddie Freeloader," with a focus on Wynton Kelly's much-emulated opening piano solo. He then compares and contrasts how John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley approached the closing track, "Flamenco Sketches" on tenor and alto sax, respectively.

Another classic episode about great music in a great movie: DONNIE DARKO. Richard Kelly's genre-busting rookie feature was 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.SOMETHING WILD is now streaming on MUBI in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, France and Latin America. To stream some of the films we've covered on the podcast, check out the collection Featured on the MUBI Podcast.

Si George Orwell temía en "1984" (1949) que la dictadura del Gran Hermano acabara con la verdad y la libertad, lo que a Aldous Huxley le da miedo de "Un mundo feliz" (1932) es que nuestra dependencia de la tecnología acabe con el pensamiento crítico. Si Orwell teme que los libros se prohíban, la pesadilla de Huxley es que ya nadie quiera leerlos. En "1984" la verdad está prisionera, pero en "Un mundo feliz" se ahoga en un mundo de trivialidad. En este programa de "Al Trasluz" escuchamos fragmentos del libro de Huxley, leídos por Eugenio Barona y escenas de la adaptación radiofónica con Fran Perea y Lluvia Rojo. El autor compara su libro con la obra de Orwell en una entrevista que traducimos de 1959 con Mike Wallace. Y oímos también su propia voz en un programa de la BBC de 1961, donde habla de la incapacidad del hombre para dominar la tecnología. En este programa escuchamos también algunos diálogos de la versión doblada al castellano de la película "La fuga de Logan" (1976) y una canción inspirada en el libro de "Un mundo feliz" (Brave New World) por el grupo de música escandinavo Kalandra en 2020. La canción final es del dúo británico, formado por el músico de origen argentino Roland Orzabal, Tears For Fears, "Todo el mundo quieren gobernar el mundo" (Everybody Wants To Rule The World 1985). Los comentarios de José de Segovia tienen de fondo la banda sonora original de las películas "Gattaca" (1997) por Michael Nyman y "Minority Report" (2002) por Paul Williams. El diseño sonoro y la realización técnica es de Daniel Panduro.

Margaux Lassalle met en lumière le deuxième album de Tears For Fears : "Songs From The Big Chair". Sorti en 1985, ce disque marque un tournant décisif pour le duo britannique formé par Roland Orzabal et Curt Smith, le propulsant du statut de groupe prometteur à celui de figure incontournable de la scène new wave. Porté par des synthétiseurs puissants et un savant mélange de pop et de new wave, l'album se distingue par des textes profondément introspectifs. Son titre fait d'ailleurs référence au fauteuil dans lequel on s'installe chez le psychanalyste. Le disque explore ainsi les tensions psychologiques et les relations humaines, abordant la pression du monde du travail avec "The Working Hour" ou la manipulation des médias à travers le titre plus tendu "Mother Talks". La chronique retrace les sommets de ce grand classique des années 80, qui oscille entre des thèmes sombres et des refrains fédérateurs. Des respirations soul d'"I Believe" à la passion amoureuse de "Head Over Heels", l'album brille par ses immenses succès mondiaux : le chef-d'œuvre "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", couronné d'un Brit Award, et la massive piste d'ouverture "Shout", véritable hymne au besoin d'extérioriser ses émotions.

Preparing For Tuesday's Cunnilingus Class.By Quinn_McMullen. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories.Story RecapI'm Dan, a senior majoring in mechanical engineering. I needed two general education requirements to complete my degree, at a university in the Chicago area. It's a cold January, on campus. I was able to enroll in an English literature class and Dr. Martin’s Sociology 369 Human Sexuality course, for the second semester.On the first day of class, we learned about male and female orgasms. Dr. Martin allowed students to submit a standard analysis and reading notes or to provide an alternative assignment. The first alternative assignment was to masturbate either alone or with an observer and report on our experience.Hannah, a coed was sitting in class next to me. I asked to be her partner. While we were trying to get comfortable with one another, we ended up having sex.DinnerAs I sat with Hannah at dinner, I had so many questions I wanted to ask her, but she started off.She looked me in the eye, “So you’re what? Twenty two? Twenty three?"Twenty two.”“I’m twenty one. So, I have to say that I am not normally that aggressive. I don’t know what came over me.”“I thought it was wonderful.”Hannah nodded, “I’m sure you did, but I’m not sure what happened. I had every intention in the world of sitting there with you, reading until dinner. And then.” She averted her gaze, then looked back into my eyes, “Then I just wanted you. I can’t explain it. I’ve never started anything with a guy before. It has always been the guy coming on to me.”“I really didn’t mind. It was definitely a gift. Guys often leave a gal frustrated because they can't work up the nerve to initiate things. Especially when the gal is as gorgeous as you.”Hannah reached out and touched my hand, "Ah, thanks! Dan, it’s okay. I guess I’m just trying to understand my actions. It was so out of character for me.”“Maybe you’re comfortable with me. I hope, anyway?”She laughed, “Undoubtedly. You’re a really nice guy.” She released my hand, “No, more than that. I know we just met, but I feel like you care about me as a person. I just hope that by being the initiator, I haven’t made you not like me.”“Hannah, I would never think that. You are self-confident, that’s all. You're very respectful and sensitive. You weren't pushy at all.”“See, that’s the thing. I’ve never really been all that self-confident. Certainly not when it comes to sex.”“How much sex have you,” I stopped myself. “I'm sorry. That's not polite for me to ask.”"No, I'm okay with talking to you about it. There was my date for the senior prom. Spring semester freshman year I had a boyfriend for a couple of weeks. Probably had sex two or three times with him. Sophomore year I had sex a couple of more times. Once over the summer. Once with Jeff last semester. Altogether, I’ve probably had sex less than ten times in my entire life. Not counting Sterling.”“Sterling?” I was puzzled.“Sterling is my chrome vibrator.” Hannah explained. “Until today, only Sterling could reliably bring me to orgasms. Today was the first time someone not named Sterling, gave me an orgasm. How about you?”“I wouldn’t say that I’m promiscuous, but I’ve had sex a lot more than that. It was always in a relationship. Let’s see, I’ve been intimate with five girlfriends. This was the first time I had sex with someone on the first day I met them.”“Same here. I hope you didn’t mind.”“Do I in any way look like I didn't have the time of my life? Not at all. It was amazing. Maybe it was a desire to try out some of the things we learned in class.”Hannah smiled, “Well you tried out something you learned. Did you rub my g spot?”“Yeah. It was all wrinkly.” I added. “Nothing like a good hands-on lab project.”“I was already cumming and then that sent me into orbit. Holy shit.” Hannah exclaimed.“As an observer, that was pretty cool. I obviously ‘pressed your button', right?” I gloated."Observer? Dan, you did that to me. You were my lover. Come to think of it, you propped me up so you could screw me like that dildo in the film.”“I did.” I proudly admitted.“That was quite creative.” She marveled.“Thanks.” I grinned.We ate in silence for several minutes. It wasn’t the least bit awkward though.Hannah stopped eating, “Normally I would try to fill silence. I don’t feel like I have to. It’s like we’re two old married people that are completely comfortable with each other.”I stopped eating, “You’re right. I don’t know very much about you, but it’s like I’ve known you a long time.”She nodded and continued eating. Another minute of silence passed.I reached out and touched her hand, “Do you believe in fate?”“I haven’t given it much thought.” She wondered where this was going.“I mean, what are the odds that I would have to sit next to you, you would ask me to be your partner, and we would hit it off so well?”“Look it, Dan. I’m not a religious person. I’m sure there is a perfectly good probability that that would happen.”I nodded, “Okay, but the odds are not that high.”“That two random college students sitting next to one another would become friends, partners, and lovers? It think they are very high. That those two people would be you and me, that’s just the universe rolling the dice.” She squelched my sentimentality.She was right, but the thought was disappointing. I pulled my hand back.Hannah grabbed my hand, “Dan, I feel like I just burst a bubble on you.”“Yeah. Maybe. A little. I had the thought that maybe someone was looking out for us and;”“If it makes you feel any better, “ she interrupted; “I could very well be wrong. I agree that it is very cool that you sat down next to me. Whatever force in the universe made that happen, I’m very grateful. Done eating?”“Yeah.”The LibraryTo avoid temptation, we agreed to study together in the library. About nine we headed to Hannah’s room. The cold and wind had eased a bit, making it easier to talk.Once outside, Hannah took my hand, “How should we decide who goes first?”“I don’t have a problem going first.”Hannah laughed, “I’m kind of excited. I’ve never seen a guy get himself off.”“I guess that’s a reason Dr. Miller said we could have an observer.”I held the door for her when we got to her dorm. Inside her room I took off my jacket.Hannah stopped to watch me, “This feels very clinical again. Could I undress you?”“Sure.”Hannah came over to me and put her hands behind my neck, “Maybe some mood-setting would help too.” She went on tip-toe and kissed me, “Yes. That’s what we need.” She turned on her stereo. In a couple seconds, Simple Minds was playing ‘Don't you Forget About Me'.She pulled me to her bed, sat down, and pulled me down with her, “Much better.”We lay side-by-side, exploring each other’s mouth. I finally pulled her on top of me so I could hold her ass cheeks. She seems to love having her ass caressed.After several minutes of necking I spoke into her mouth, “I think I’m ready.”“I feel something.” She said with a horny wink. Her mix tape was now playing Rick Astley, singing ‘Never Gunna Give You Up'. I'm guessing this was Hannah's mood music for when she pleasured herself. But that was her business. I just decided to enjoy the moment.Hannah rolled off me and I stood up. I pulled my shirt off and dropped my jeans, standing there in my partially tented boxers.“Ready?”She smiled and I let my boxers fall to my ankles, flipping them across the room with a flick of my foot. I slowly stroked my tumescent cock.Hannah stood up, “I think I promised to let you see me naked to help get you aroused.”“You did.” I recalled.“Why don’t you sit on the bed and let me give you something to get aroused about.”I climbed up to the headboard and placed a pillow behind my back. Hannah began a little bump and grind strip tease. I pulled on my cock to firm it up. By now her mix tape was playing Tears for Fears, singing ‘Everybody Wants To Rule the World' with its sultry beat.She turned away from me and pulled her shirt off. She swiveled her jean-clad hips, then kicked off her shoes. Hannah loved to dance and it's clear she was very good at it. Somehow her socks went flying. She stepped up onto the bed and stood above me, one leg on either side.She placed her hands on the wall to balance herself and then placed her foot on my cock, “Let me rub that for you.”I wouldn’t call it rubbing, but she did move her foot up and down on my shaft. It wasn’t exactly effective and soon she was back standing on the floor. She turned away and dropped her jeans to the floor. Hannah flipped them aside with her foot, then climbed back up on the bed. Standing above me in her bra and panties was more arousing. She stepped forward so that her crotch was inches from my face.I leaned forward, pressed my nose into her crotch, and took a deep breath, “God, you smell good.” Her pheromones made a beeline to my cock.Hannah stepped back on the floor and removed her bra and panties, “Sorry, I’m not very creative with a strip tease.”“I appreciate the creativity” I encouraged her.“Thanks. How about if I just stand here in all my nakedness?”“That works.”I was rock hard now and it was easy to stroke myself. I was thinking I needed some lube when Hannah crawled up on the bed and got very close to my cock.She smiled, “I’m observing.”I laughed.Hannah ran her hand down my thigh, “Perhaps you should position yourself so that I can see your asshole. I need to know if it contracts when you cum.”“Oh. Okay.”I slouched down at her headboard. I placed my feet so that my legs were spread  out and knees bent; and she had a good view of my anus. She was kneeling in front of me. I licked my stroke hand to provide some lubrication. Now her stereo was playing A-Ha. The cut was ‘Take On Me'.Hannah said, “I can provide some saliva.” She leaned forward dribbled some spit on the head of my cock.I smiled, “That’s helpful.”“But probably not enough.” She grabbed my stroke hand and placed her mouth on my cock, sucking away.“I think that defeats the purpose of the assignment.”She came off for a moment, “I don’t care.”Hannah soon had my entire shaft wet with saliva. She stroked me with her hands while sucking and churning the head in her mouth. The stereo filled the room with ‘Shout' from Tears For Fears. When I groaned my appreciation, I felt her finger at my ass. I think she had her juices on her finger because she slipped right in. She found my prostate.“Oh god, Hannah. Hannah. Cumming. I’m cumming.” The stereo rumbled; “Shout, shout, let it all out”.Everything sped up, her mouth, her fingers rubbing in my ass. I grabbed my knees and pulled my legs toward me. The point of no return approached and my world narrowed to my cock and ass. My body started quaking uncontrollably. Hannah’s eyes were locked in on mine as she swallowed everything I shot. I threw my head back as my orgasm continued. All I could feel was her fingers rubbing my prostate and her mouth on my cock, churning, sucking, licking. I tried to say something, but a croaking sound came out.Suddenly my cock was beyond sensitive, “Please.” I released my knees and held her face, “Please.”“Stop?” She asked for clarification.“Yes.”Hannah climbed up and lay down next to me. She kissed me with closed lips. I grabbed her face and probed my tongue into her salty mouth.She eased off, “That’s cool that you don’t mind kissing me. I had a guy that wouldn’t kiss me after he came in my mouth. By the way, I used what they did in the movie in class. It works.”“Wow, Does it ever.” I blurted out.“Your whole body was shaking.” She told me.“Thank you, Hannah. That was amazing. If you let me recover for a couple minutes, I would love to return the favor.”“Offer accepted,” Hannah said as she swung her leg over me and stared kissing me again.After a few minutes of necking I was ready to go, “Why don’t you lie back and see what I can do for you.”Something told me to hold off on straight licking. I decided to kiss her ear lobes and then went for her nipples. I licked my way across her stomach and stopped at her pubes to breathe in her scent.Her clit was prominent at the top of her slit and her inner labia extended out a little. She had shaved her labia. I lapped up her juices, then moved to her clit.I looked up at Hannah. Her eyes were locked in on me.She whispered, “Maybe not straight, constant licking. Ease up a little from time to time so I don’t get numb.”I followed her advice. Eurythmics was filling the room with a hypnotic spell from ‘Sweet Dreams Are Made of These.'Hannah grabbed her nipples and was rolling them, “Oh, Dan. Oh.” I assumed that was a signal that she was cumming. I probed into her vagina and found her g spot.“Ah.” Hannah’s vagina started contracting. She arched her back and I could hear her panting. She forcibly pressed my forehead away from her crotch. I kept rubbing her g spot.Then Hannah wrapped her legs around my head and began bucking her hips. I took this as some kind of signal to stop.Slowly her body relaxed, “Oh my god. Dan, come up here.”I climbed up next to her.“That was so nice. Let’s climb in under the covers. I want to snuggle with you.”As I held her, I whispered, “I can see why people sleep with each other. This is cozy.”“Very cozy.” I concurred.The mix tape faded to  Sinéad O'Connor sang ‘Nothing Compares 2 U.'  I faded to slumber.Sleeping With HannahAs I emerged from sleep, I sensed a warm body next to me. When I opened my eyes, it was dark. I saw a lighted alarm clock across the room. I tried to place where I was and then I remembered. Hannah.When I emerged from sleep again, the room was light. I lay still, savoring the moment. We lay like spoons. My arm was under Hannah’s head. Her ass was pressed up against me and I had a bit of morning wood. My other hand was on her hip. She felt so silky and soft.After a bit of time, Hannah stirred.She rolled over, “Good morning.”“Good morning, Hannah.”“Is this one of those mythical morning woodies?”“Not mythical. I wake up with one on a regular basis.”“So, it isn’t because of me.”“No, but I have to say that sleeping with you is just short of heavenly.”“Agreed. Shall we start our day?”“I could use a shower.”“So could I. I wish I could take one with you, but the other girls on the floor might be either offended or jealous.”BreakfastOver breakfast, Hannah asked, “So, what do you think about Elizabeth Bennet?”“Elizabeth Bennet? Do I know her?”“From Pride and Prejudice?”“Oh. Yes.” I remembered. “ Kind of early in the book, but I have to say that the situation that her and her sisters are in is horrible.”“Things were not good for women back in jolly old England. I think that’s the 1800s. Or anywhere else for that matter.”“She sounds like someone I would like to know.” I said. “She seems smart, independent. She’s got a very strong will. Probably a lot like you.”Hannah smiled, “Thanks. And you’re still early in the book. What do you think of Jane Austen’s writing?”“Love it. So lyrical.”Friday Masturbation AssignmentOn Friday afternoon, we finally got around to conducting our masturbation assignment. Here is what I wrote for Dr. Miller:My observer was Hannah. She was also my partner as you will see.I positioned myself on my bed so that my partner could observe me. I made sure my legs were such that she could see my anus. By mutual agreement, we were both naked so that I would be aroused by her body. Hannah has a beautiful body. I began pulling on my penis to get it hard. It did not take long given the goddess in front of me. Normally I would use saliva to lubricate myself, but my partner allowed me to use some of her vaginal juice as lubrication. It was much slicker and much more effective.Once I was hard, I stroked myself in the usual manner, focusing on the head of my penis and the sensitive edge. I am circumcised and the scar is a little sensitive as well. My partner asked me to let her know when I was getting close. I focused on her charms and after several minutes, I felt my orgasm approaching. I let my partner know.Hannah slipped two lubricated fingers into my anus and massaged my prostate just like the film we saw in class. The ensuing orgasm was one of the most intense experiences of my life. All my focus centered on my erection and my prostate. As I came, my body began shaking uncontrollably. I shot my load all over my chest. There were three distinct strings of cum, plus a smaller fourth string. Once I shot my load, I stopped stroking myself because of sensitivity, but my partner kept rubbing my prostate and the intense orgasm continued for about 30 seconds.Unlike a regular orgasm, this was much more of a whole-body orgasm. The shaking lasted as long as Hannah rubbed my prostate.Afterwards I was exhausted. We both tasted my semen. It was a little salty and a little musky. My partner thought it tasted a little like mushrooms.Here is Hannah’s submission:I positioned myself on the bed with my legs spread so that my partner (Dan) could observe me. I have a fantasy that I use to arouse myself. I imagine kissing a movie star. Dan said he would sit in for the movie star. Plus, he was naked and in person! He let me run my fingers through his chest hair and hold his penis. After we had been kissing for a while, I thought I was ready. My partner moved back and I began rubbing my clit in my usual way small, quick

When I opened my eyes, it was dark. I saw a lighted alarm clock across the room. I tried to place where I was and then I remembered. Hannah.When I emerged from sleep again, the room was light. I lay still, savoring the moment. We lay like spoons. My arm was under Hannah’s head. Her ass was pressed up against me and I had a bit of morning wood. My other hand was on her hip. She felt so silky and soft.After a bit of time, Hannah stirred.She rolled over, “Good morning.”“Good morning, Hannah.”“Is this one of those mythical morning woodies?”“Not mythical. I wake up with one on a regular basis.”“So, it isn’t because of me.”“No, but I have to say that sleeping with you is just short of heavenly.”“Agreed. Shall we start our day?”“I could use a shower.”“So could I.

Yes.” I remembered. “ Kind of early in the book, but I have to say that the situation that her and her sisters are in is horrible.”“Things were not good for women back in jolly old England. I think that’s the 1800s. Or anywhere else for that matter.”“She sounds like someone I would like to know.” I said. “She seems smart, independent. She’s got a very strong will. Probably a lot like you.”Hannah smiled, “Thanks. And you’re still early in the book. What do you think of Jane Austen’s writing?”“Love it. So lyrical.”Friday Masturbation AssignmentOn Friday afternoon, we finally got around to conducting our masturbation assignment. Here is what I wrote for Dr. Miller:My observer was Hannah. She was also my partner as you will see.I positioned myself on my bed so that my partner could observe me. I made sure my legs were such that she could see my anus. By mutual agreement, we were both naked so that I would be aroused by her body. Hannah has a beautiful body. I began pulling on my penis to get it hard. It did not take long given the goddess in front of me. Normally I would use saliva to lubricate myself, but my partner allowed me to use some of her vaginal juice as lubrication. It was much slicker and much more effective.Once I was hard, I stroked myself in the usual manner, focusing on the head of my penis and the sensitive edge. I am circumcised and the scar is a little sensitive as well. My partner asked me to let her know when I was getting close. I focused on her charms and after several minutes, I felt my orgasm approaching. I let my partner know.Hannah slipped two lubricated fingers into my anus and massaged my prostate just like the film we saw in class. The ensuing orgasm was one of the most intense experiences of my life. All my focus centered on my erection and my prostate. As I came, my body began shaking uncontrollably. I shot my load all over my chest. There were three distinct strings of cum, plus a smaller fourth string. Once I shot my load, I stopped stroking myself because of sensitivity, but my partner kept rubbing my prostate and the intense orgasm continued for about 30 seconds.Unlike a regular orgasm, this was much more of a whole-body orgasm. The shaking lasted as long as Hannah rubbed my prostate.Afterwards I was exhausted. We both tasted my semen. It was a little salty and a little musky. My partner thought it tasted a little like mushrooms.Here is Hannah’s submission:I positioned myself on the bed with my legs spread so that my partner (Dan) could observe me. I have a fantasy that I use to arouse myself. I imagine kissing a movie star. Dan said he would sit in for the movie star. Plus, he was naked and in person! He let me run my fingers through his chest hair and hold his penis. After we had been kissing for a while, I thought I was ready. My partner moved back and I began rubbing my clit in my usual way small, quick

Preparing For Tuesday's Cunnilingus Class.By Quinn_McMullen. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories.Story RecapI'm Dan, a senior majoring in mechanical engineering. I needed two general education requirements to complete my degree, at a university in the Chicago area. It's a cold January, on campus. I was able to enroll in an English literature class and Dr. Martin’s Sociology 369 Human Sexuality course, for the second semester.On the first day of class, we learned about male and female orgasms. Dr. Martin allowed students to submit a standard analysis and reading notes or to provide an alternative assignment. The first alternative assignment was to masturbate either alone or with an observer and report on our experience.Hannah, a coed was sitting in class next to me. I asked to be her partner. While we were trying to get comfortable with one another, we ended up having sex.DinnerAs I sat with Hannah at dinner, I had so many questions I wanted to ask her, but she started off.She looked me in the eye, “So you’re what? Twenty two? Twenty three?"Twenty two.”“I’m twenty one. So, I have to say that I am not normally that aggressive. I don’t know what came over me.”“I thought it was wonderful.”Hannah nodded, “I’m sure you did, but I’m not sure what happened. I had every intention in the world of sitting there with you, reading until dinner. And then.” She averted her gaze, then looked back into my eyes, “Then I just wanted you. I can’t explain it. I’ve never started anything with a guy before. It has always been the guy coming on to me.”“I really didn’t mind. It was definitely a gift. Guys often leave a gal frustrated because they can't work up the nerve to initiate things. Especially when the gal is as gorgeous as you.”Hannah reached out and touched my hand, "Ah, thanks! Dan, it’s okay. I guess I’m just trying to understand my actions. It was so out of character for me.”“Maybe you’re comfortable with me. I hope, anyway?”She laughed, “Undoubtedly. You’re a really nice guy.” She released my hand, “No, more than that. I know we just met, but I feel like you care about me as a person. I just hope that by being the initiator, I haven’t made you not like me.”“Hannah, I would never think that. You are self-confident, that’s all. You're very respectful and sensitive. You weren't pushy at all.”“See, that’s the thing. I’ve never really been all that self-confident. Certainly not when it comes to sex.”“How much sex have you,” I stopped myself. “I'm sorry. That's not polite for me to ask.”"No, I'm okay with talking to you about it. There was my date for the senior prom. Spring semester freshman year I had a boyfriend for a couple of weeks. Probably had sex two or three times with him. Sophomore year I had sex a couple of more times. Once over the summer. Once with Jeff last semester. Altogether, I’ve probably had sex less than ten times in my entire life. Not counting Sterling.”“Sterling?” I was puzzled.“Sterling is my chrome vibrator.” Hannah explained. “Until today, only Sterling could reliably bring me to orgasms. Today was the first time someone not named Sterling, gave me an orgasm. How about you?”“I wouldn’t say that I’m promiscuous, but I’ve had sex a lot more than that. It was always in a relationship. Let’s see, I’ve been intimate with five girlfriends. This was the first time I had sex with someone on the first day I met them.”“Same here. I hope you didn’t mind.”“Do I in any way look like I didn't have the time of my life? Not at all. It was amazing. Maybe it was a desire to try out some of the things we learned in class.”Hannah smiled, “Well you tried out something you learned. Did you rub my g spot?”“Yeah. It was all wrinkly.” I added. “Nothing like a good hands-on lab project.”“I was already cumming and then that sent me into orbit. Holy shit.” Hannah exclaimed.“As an observer, that was pretty cool. I obviously ‘pressed your button', right?” I gloated."Observer? Dan, you did that to me. You were my lover. Come to think of it, you propped me up so you could screw me like that dildo in the film.”“I did.” I proudly admitted.“That was quite creative.” She marveled.“Thanks.” I grinned.We ate in silence for several minutes. It wasn’t the least bit awkward though.Hannah stopped eating, “Normally I would try to fill silence. I don’t feel like I have to. It’s like we’re two old married people that are completely comfortable with each other.”I stopped eating, “You’re right. I don’t know very much about you, but it’s like I’ve known you a long time.”She nodded and continued eating. Another minute of silence passed.I reached out and touched her hand, “Do you believe in fate?”“I haven’t given it much thought.” She wondered where this was going.“I mean, what are the odds that I would have to sit next to you, you would ask me to be your partner, and we would hit it off so well?”“Look it, Dan. I’m not a religious person. I’m sure there is a perfectly good probability that that would happen.”I nodded, “Okay, but the odds are not that high.”“That two random college students sitting next to one another would become friends, partners, and lovers? It think they are very high. That those two people would be you and me, that’s just the universe rolling the dice.” She squelched my sentimentality.She was right, but the thought was disappointing. I pulled my hand back.Hannah grabbed my hand, “Dan, I feel like I just burst a bubble on you.”“Yeah. Maybe. A little. I had the thought that maybe someone was looking out for us and;”“If it makes you feel any better, “ she interrupted; “I could very well be wrong. I agree that it is very cool that you sat down next to me. Whatever force in the universe made that happen, I’m very grateful. Done eating?”“Yeah.”The LibraryTo avoid temptation, we agreed to study together in the library. About nine we headed to Hannah’s room. The cold and wind had eased a bit, making it easier to talk.Once outside, Hannah took my hand, “How should we decide who goes first?”“I don’t have a problem going first.”Hannah laughed, “I’m kind of excited. I’ve never seen a guy get himself off.”“I guess that’s a reason Dr. Miller said we could have an observer.”I held the door for her when we got to her dorm. Inside her room I took off my jacket.Hannah stopped to watch me, “This feels very clinical again. Could I undress you?”“Sure.”Hannah came over to me and put her hands behind my neck, “Maybe some mood-setting would help too.” She went on tip-toe and kissed me, “Yes. That’s what we need.” She turned on her stereo. In a couple seconds, Simple Minds was playing ‘Don't you Forget About Me'.She pulled me to her bed, sat down, and pulled me down with her, “Much better.”We lay side-by-side, exploring each other’s mouth. I finally pulled her on top of me so I could hold her ass cheeks. She seems to love having her ass caressed.After several minutes of necking I spoke into her mouth, “I think I’m ready.”“I feel something.” She said with a horny wink. Her mix tape was now playing Rick Astley, singing ‘Never Gunna Give You Up'. I'm guessing this was Hannah's mood music for when she pleasured herself. But that was her business. I just decided to enjoy the moment.Hannah rolled off me and I stood up. I pulled my shirt off and dropped my jeans, standing there in my partially tented boxers.“Ready?”She smiled and I let my boxers fall to my ankles, flipping them across the room with a flick of my foot. I slowly stroked my tumescent cock.Hannah stood up, “I think I promised to let you see me naked to help get you aroused.”“You did.” I recalled.“Why don’t you sit on the bed and let me give you something to get aroused about.”I climbed up to the headboard and placed a pillow behind my back. Hannah began a little bump and grind strip tease. I pulled on my cock to firm it up. By now her mix tape was playing Tears for Fears, singing ‘Everybody Wants To Rule the World' with its sultry beat.She turned away from me and pulled her shirt off. She swiveled her jean-clad hips, then kicked off her shoes. Hannah loved to dance and it's clear she was very good at it. Somehow her socks went flying. She stepped up onto the bed and stood above me, one leg on either side.She placed her hands on the wall to balance herself and then placed her foot on my cock, “Let me rub that for you.”I wouldn’t call it rubbing, but she did move her foot up and down on my shaft. It wasn’t exactly effective and soon she was back standing on the floor. She turned away and dropped her jeans to the floor. Hannah flipped them aside with her foot, then climbed back up on the bed. Standing above me in her bra and panties was more arousing. She stepped forward so that her crotch was inches from my face.I leaned forward, pressed my nose into her crotch, and took a deep breath, “God, you smell good.” Her pheromones made a beeline to my cock.Hannah stepped back on the floor and removed her bra and panties, “Sorry, I’m not very creative with a strip tease.”“I appreciate the creativity” I encouraged her.“Thanks. How about if I just stand here in all my nakedness?”“That works.”I was rock hard now and it was easy to stroke myself. I was thinking I needed some lube when Hannah crawled up on the bed and got very close to my cock.She smiled, “I’m observing.”I laughed.Hannah ran her hand down my thigh, “Perhaps you should position yourself so that I can see your asshole. I need to know if it contracts when you cum.”“Oh. Okay.”I slouched down at her headboard. I placed my feet so that my legs were spread  out and knees bent; and she had a good view of my anus. She was kneeling in front of me. I licked my stroke hand to provide some lubrication. Now her stereo was playing A-Ha. The cut was ‘Take On Me'.Hannah said, “I can provide some saliva.” She leaned forward dribbled some spit on the head of my cock.I smiled, “That’s helpful.”“But probably not enough.” She grabbed my stroke hand and placed her mouth on my cock, sucking away.“I think that defeats the purpose of the assignment.”She came off for a moment, “I don’t care.”Hannah soon had my entire shaft wet with saliva. She stroked me with her hands while sucking and churning the head in her mouth. The stereo filled the room with ‘Shout' from Tears For Fears. When I groaned my appreciation, I felt her finger at my ass. I think she had her juices on her finger because she slipped right in. She found my prostate.“Oh god, Hannah. Hannah. Cumming. I’m cumming.” The stereo rumbled; “Shout, shout, let it all out”.Everything sped up, her mouth, her fingers rubbing in my ass. I grabbed my knees and pulled my legs toward me. The point of no return approached and my world narrowed to my cock and ass. My body started quaking uncontrollably. Hannah’s eyes were locked in on mine as she swallowed everything I shot. I threw my head back as my orgasm continued. All I could feel was her fingers rubbing my prostate and her mouth on my cock, churning, sucking, licking. I tried to say something, but a croaking sound came out.Suddenly my cock was beyond sensitive, “Please.” I released my knees and held her face, “Please.”“Stop?” She asked for clarification.“Yes.”Hannah climbed up and lay down next to me. She kissed me with closed lips. I grabbed her face and probed my tongue into her salty mouth.She eased off, “That’s cool that you don’t mind kissing me. I had a guy that wouldn’t kiss me after he came in my mouth. By the way, I used what they did in the movie in class. It works.”“Wow, Does it ever.” I blurted out.“Your whole body was shaking.” She told me.“Thank you, Hannah. That was amazing. If you let me recover for a couple minutes, I would love to return the favor.”“Offer accepted,” Hannah said as she swung her leg over me and stared kissing me again.After a few minutes of necking I was ready to go, “Why don’t you lie back and see what I can do for you.”Something told me to hold off on straight licking. I decided to kiss her ear lobes and then went for her nipples. I licked my way across her stomach and stopped at her pubes to breathe in her scent.Her clit was prominent at the top of her slit and her inner labia extended out a little. She had shaved her labia. I lapped up her juices, then moved to her clit.I looked up at Hannah. Her eyes were locked in on me.She whispered, “Maybe not straight, constant licking. Ease up a little from time to time so I don’t get numb.”I followed her advice. Eurythmics was filling the room with a hypnotic spell from ‘Sweet Dreams Are Made of These.'Hannah grabbed her nipples and was rolling them, “Oh, Dan. Oh.” I assumed that was a signal that she was cumming. I probed into her vagina and found her g spot.“Ah.” Hannah’s vagina started contracting. She arched her back and I could hear her panting. She forcibly pressed my forehead away from her crotch. I kept rubbing her g spot.Then Hannah wrapped her legs around my head and began bucking her hips. I took this as some kind of signal to stop.Slowly her body relaxed, “Oh my god. Dan, come up here.”I climbed up next to her.“That was so nice. Let’s climb in under the covers. I want to snuggle with you.”As I held her, I whispered, “I can see why people sleep with each other. This is cozy.”“Very cozy.” I concurred.The mix tape faded to  Sinéad O'Connor sang ‘Nothing Compares 2 U.'  I faded to slumber.Sleeping With HannahAs I emerged from sleep, I sensed a warm body next to me. When I opened my eyes, it was dark. I saw a lighted alarm clock across the room. I tried to place where I was and then I remembered. Hannah.When I emerged from sleep again, the room was light. I lay still, savoring the moment. We lay like spoons. My arm was under Hannah’s head. Her ass was pressed up against me and I had a bit of morning wood. My other hand was on her hip. She felt so silky and soft.After a bit of time, Hannah stirred.She rolled over, “Good morning.”“Good morning, Hannah.”“Is this one of those mythical morning woodies?”“Not mythical. I wake up with one on a regular basis.”“So, it isn’t because of me.”“No, but I have to say that sleeping with you is just short of heavenly.”“Agreed. Shall we start our day?”“I could use a shower.”“So could I. I wish I could take one with you, but the other girls on the floor might be either offended or jealous.”BreakfastOver breakfast, Hannah asked, “So, what do you think about Elizabeth Bennet?”“Elizabeth Bennet? Do I know her?”“From Pride and Prejudice?”“Oh. Yes.” I remembered. “ Kind of early in the book, but I have to say that the situation that her and her sisters are in is horrible.”“Things were not good for women back in jolly old England. I think that’s the 1800s. Or anywhere else for that matter.”“She sounds like someone I would like to know.” I said. “She seems smart, independent. She’s got a very strong will. Probably a lot like you.”Hannah smiled, “Thanks. And you’re still early in the book. What do you think of Jane Austen’s writing?”“Love it. So lyrical.”Friday Masturbation AssignmentOn Friday afternoon, we finally got around to conducting our masturbation assignment. Here is what I wrote for Dr. Miller:My observer was Hannah.

After years of writing and producing for artists like Goo Goo Dolls, Avril Lavigne, Gin Blossoms, and Sabrina Carpenter, McGorman and Vallier reunite to create something that's entirely their own: a lush, synth-driven exploration they call “NEW-stalgia.” They dive into the inspirations behind the project, the beauty of creative freedom, and how frustration became the spark for their most personal music yet. From vintage analog warmth to digital precision — this conversation captures the sound, soul, and story of Flight To London.

Before I start anything, one must marvel at my ability to take any famous or sad album cover and completely ruin it with the same stock image of Ringo and pngs of pop culture characters we mention in the episode.

We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2022 conversation with Roland Orzabal. ABOUT ROLAND ORZABAL AND TEARS FOR FEARS:Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith formed Tears for Fears in Bath, England, in 1981 and have gone on to sell 30 million albums worldwide. Their major breakthrough in the UK came in 1982 with the Top 5 single “Mad World” and the subsequent platinum-selling album The Hurting. They gained major steam in the US with their sophomore album Songs From the Big Chair, which included the hit singles “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” “Shout,” and “Head Over Heels.” Featured in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, Songs From the Big Chair reached #1 and was certified five times Platinum by the RIAA. Tears for Fears' follow-up single “Sowing the Seeds of Love” was another massive hit, but Curt departed the group not long after. Following a couple of albums with Orzabal at the helm, the duo reunited for the Everybody Loves a Happy Ending album in 2004. Now, after a long wait of 17 years, Roland and Curt have just released their seventh studio album The Tipping Point, and are embarking on a major tour. Even as they bring us new music, their legacy is well-established as one of the most unique and influential British groups to emerge in the last few decades. Their songs have been covered or sampled by Gary Jules, Adam Lambert, Lorde, Kanye West, Drake, and many others. And, in 2021, the band was honored with the Outstanding Song Collection honor at the Ivor Novello Awards in London.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

As a follow-up to her beloved '80's cult class Valley Girl, director Martha Coolidge delivered another beloved cult classic two years later with this science-based (sort of) campus comedy starring the late, great Val Kilmer in one of his earliest roles as the wisecracking titular genius Chris Knight.  Knight has been tasked with building a laser by his duplicitous professor (William Atherton) though at least he has help in the form of the latest young genius to be recruited to the fictional Pacific Tech - that would be Mitch Taylor played by Gabriel Jarret (Apollo 13, Frost/Nixon) who's definitely in over his head away from his parents for the first time in his life and the ripe young age of 16.  Chris has to show Mitch the ropes, they both learn from each other as they work to build that laser, and hijinks ensue!  Host & Editor: Geoff GershonEditor: Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Tears for Fears is a duo formed in 1981 in Bath, England by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith. They've sold over 30 million albums, starting with their first, The Hurting, which went to number one in the UK. But it was their second album, Songs from the Big Chair, that made them international stars. It came out in 1985, and had huge singles like “Shout” and "Head Over Heels.” But their biggest hit is “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.” It won Best Single at the BRIT Awards in 1986, and it's been streamed over 2 billion times. So I talked to the two of them about how they, along with their producer Chris Hughes and keyboard player Ian Stanley, made a song that would help define the sound of the 80s.For more, visit songexploder.net/tears-for-fears.
