TEARS FOR FEARS - The Hurting 1983

Back to wavie pop of the early eighties and a band that really impressed me was the duo Tears For Fears; formed 1981 in Bath by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith. The band achieved their first taste of success with their third single, Mad World (a timeless classic that I still love listening), which reached #3 in the U.K. in November 1982. The debut was then released in March 1983 and for this and the next keyboardist and composer Ian Stanley and drummer Manny Elias were considered full band members, though Smith and Orzabal were still essentially the frontmen and public faces of the band. They released six albums so far and they're still want to rule the world with very beautiful songs.
