Tears for Fears is coming to Chicago.
Tears for Fears was one of those bands that, for an era or so, helped define popular music, were part of the sound of a moment — that era of course being the ‘80s. Their music and songs, “Shout,” “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,”, were more or less inescapable on the radio at a time when people actually got their music from the radio.
When they first started recording, their management company asked them to collaborate with younger artists to adopt a more current sound. It didn’t stick, said Smith, speaking recently with the Tribune by phone before the band kicked off its tour. Some of the songs on “The Tipping Point,” including the title single, were inspired by the death of Orzabal’s wife in 2017, who he had been with since they were teenagers.Orzabal and Smith started over on the album project in 2020 under new management, keeping only a few tracks from the previous.
“It’s far more enjoyable now. Back then it was all a blur. We became very big at a very young age. No one is equipped to handle it at that age,” he said. “We couldn’t walk around, there were fans camped outside the hotel. I’m speaking to you now because I don’t do interviews on the road anymore, I simply don’t. I want to see the city that we play. These were all places I didn’t get to see then.”
“I thought it would be funny to get up and sing ‘Everybody Wants to Rule the World,’” he said. It being a karaoke bar, he said, everyone was just studying song lists, wondering what they’ll sing next. “Nobody even looked up, nobody was paying attention. I sang it in its entirety.”
