Tears for Fears Never Knew How To End A Song
One day a while ago we were listening to some Journey at work, indulging a cheese craving if you will, and after the end of the song dragged on for a few minutes my friend Chris said “Ah yes, the 80’s where no one knew how to end a song”. I laughed, but it never occurred to me how correct that statement was until yesterday when I left work. I have four songs from Tears for Fears (”Shout”, “Head Over Heels”, “Sowing the Seeds of Love”, and “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”) on my iPod and I decided to listen to them when heading home. Leaving the front door of my office I put on “Shout”. Down the elevator and it’s still “Shout”, walking the two minutes down to the train station and it’s still “Shout”. Waiting for the train and they’re just now getting around to winding down. I know it’s only supposed to be a 6-minute song but it felt like a full-blown rock opera.By the time all four song had wound down my Amtrak train had left Philadelphia back towards Harrisburg. I could have let the same four songs play all the way home and probably heard them 4 times each.
