History
Tears for Fears are an English pop rock and synth-pop duo formed in Bath, Somerset, in 1981 by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, after their earlier band Graduate broke up. Their name was inspired by Arthur Janov's primal therapy, the same psychological approach John Lennon had famously undergone a decade earlier. Their early songs were shaped largely by Orzabal's lyrics, drawing on a difficult childhood. The 1983 debut album, The Hurting, topped the UK Albums Chart and produced the hit singles "Mad World," "Change," and "Pale Shelter." The duo became global stars with their second album, Songs from the Big Chair (1985), part of the mid-1980s "Second British Invasion" of the US charts; its singles "Shout" and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" both reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Smith left the band in 1991 and rejoined in 2000, while Orzabal remained its constant creative force throughout. Both songs are still fixtures of 1980s pop culture and frequently turn up in film and TV soundtracks decades later.
