I don't believe that what Tears for Fears has done, and continues to do, can be pigeonholed into a genre or decade.
Okay, I like the Clash. I like Tears for Fears. I like A-ha.
Obviously, the big hits like 'Shout,' 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World,' 'Head Over Heels,' we play live, so there's nothing new about them to me.
Tears For Fears is my ultimate passion.
I went to live in New York and released a solo album that I now know was very bad. Roland kept on with the Tears For Fears name. It was a bad split.
The only formula we have when we work together is that we both have to have a product we can endorse when we finish. Something we both like. It's a matter of compromise. In the end what you get is what both of us can agree on. In that comes Tears for Fears. I don't know what the mix or magic is, that's just what it is.
Tears for Fears is me and Roland.
A lot of people hear the records on the radio, they aren't absolutely sure who exactly Tears For Fears is, they just know they like the song.
