Don’t you just love the 80’s?
The 80’s, where fingerless gloves had their heyday. Where New Kids on the Block weren’t afraid to hang tough. And where we had New Wave and synthpop in full blast. And today, I'm going to talk about a song from one of my favourites of those genres, Tears for Fears
Tears for Fears had some fantastically put together songs in their heyday of the mid-80's. There's the one just mentioned above, "Shout" (my personal favourite) and this one, "Head Over Heels"
Right when "Head Over Heels" starts out, you know it's going to be a great song. The synth buildup to the guitar solo is just masterful. And the lyrics have kind of an eerie stalker vibe to them, that some people might mistake for a love song. The 80's liked to do that.
And it's just a beautiful song. Despite the subject matter, it sounds mystical, like you're going to be taken on a journey into a passionate romance. And the breakdown at the end is great too.
Yep, a brilliant song from a brilliant band. Too bad on Tuesday I won't be able to say the same... but that's another story.
