Tears for Fears - Shout

[tpj1965]

Tears for Fears (abbreviated TFF) are an English pop band formed in the early 1980s by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, which emerged after the dissolution of their first band, the mod-influenced Graduate. They were initially associated with new wave and the burgeoning wave of synthesiser bands of the early 1980s, but quickly branched out into mainstream chart success. Tears for Fears have sold more than 21 million albums worldwide.

"Shout" is written by Roland Orzabal and Ian Stanley of the British band Tears for Fears. It was the band's eighth single release (the second taken from their sophomore LP Songs from the Big Chair) and sixth UK Top 25 chart hit, peaking at #4 in January 1985. In the USA, it reached #1 on August 3, 1985 and remained there for three weeks. A bonafide smash hit, "Shout" would become one of the most successful pop songs of 1985, eventually reaching the Top Ten in 25 countries.Wikipedia®

According to Wikipedia: "The band's name is derived from the Primal therapy treatment of the same name developed by Arthur Janov, which was made famous after John Lennon became Janov's patient. While undergoing primal therapy, a patient is encouraged to "re-experience" his early, dramatic emotional states (even perinatal ones), including screaming like an infant, hence the expression "tears for fears". Orzabal tried primal therapy in the early 1980s, although Smith never did, and neither returned to the treatment after that time. In a 2004 interview with VH1 UK, Orzabal and Smith said that when they finally met Janov in the mid-80s, they were disillusioned to find that he had become quite "Hollywood" and wanted the band to write a musical about primal therapy."
