Tears for Fears on track (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Even after 40 years, critics of Tears For Fears have tended to describe them as an 80s band. This is understandable when songs like 'Mad World' appear in films that typify that period and 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World' has had a prolonged life as one of the most played songs on streaming services.
Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith quickly transformed from their first band, mod revivalists Graduate, to introspective studio obsessives with The Hurting, to global hitmakers on Songs from the Big Chair, before releasing The Seeds of Love - epic both in terms of vision and cost. Musical differences and strained relations led to the dissolution of the original partnership at the end of that decade, while Orzabal carried on under the Tears for Fears banner into the 1990s.
Everybody loves a happy ending, and in 2004 the reformed duo released that jocularly titled album. Then followed a long wait for a new record, a period occasionally punctuated by extensive touring around the world. The patience of their loyal followers was rewarded in 2022 with the universally lauded The Tipping Point. Taking in Graduate and the duo's solo work, this book covers the band's complete career, album by album and song by song.

Autorenporträt

Paul Clark is a writer, freelance journalist, musician, and lecturer. He has previously worked as a sports journalist but these days is following his passion and writing more about music. He has been a lecturer for over 18 years and has worked at the University of Chester, Manchester Met, University of Salford, and BIMM Manchester, as a lecturer in news, sports, and music journalism. He is an avid gig-goer and can often be found crate-digging in a number of the region's record stores. He is a long-standing fan of Tears for Fears and it has felt like a labour of love revisiting the band's back catalogue for this book. He was born in Liverpool but now lives in St Helens, UK.
