Week Sixty-One: Tears For Fears - "Break It Down Again" - Elemental

For Week Sixty-One, I am going to tell you about the three songs on my Tears For Fears VHS tape pictured below, and then I will select one or two other tunes by them to close out the week:

***Happy 4th of July!!!***

So, I have already mentioned that "Pale Shelter" is my favorite TFF song, but "Break It Down Again" is definitely my second favorite TFF song. Sadly, I actually know a few TFF fans who do not even consider this a TFF song since Curt was not part of it.

In case you don't already know this, Curt Smith left the band in 1992, and Roland Orzabal carried on without him. The album, Elemental, was released in 1993 and was a great success, despite the fact that Curt was no longer a member.

I will take you into this holiday weekend with two more of my favorites (that include Curt): "Head Over Heels" and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World"...



Here We Go

Break it down again

So those are my dreams
And these are my eyes
Stand tall like a man
Head strong like a horse

When it's all mixed up
Better break it down
In the world of secrets
In the world of sound

It's in the way you're always hiding from the light
See for yourself you have been sitting on a time bomb
No revolution maybe someone somewhere else
Could show you something new about you and your inner song
And all the love and all the love in the world
Won't stop the rain from falling
Waste seeping underground
I want to break it down

Break it down again

So those are my schemes
And these are my plans
Hot tips for the boys
Fresh news from the force

When it's all mixed up
Better break it down
In the world of silence
In the world of sound

"No sleep for dreaming" say the architects of life
Big bouncing babies, bread and butter can I have a slice
They make no mention of the beauty of decay
Blue, yellow, pink umbrella save it for a rainy day
And all the love and all the love in the world
Won't stop the rain from falling
Waste seeping underground
I want to break it down

Horsin' around
Pray to power
Play to the crowd with your big hit sound
And they won't simmer won't simmer, won't simmer down
Play to the crowd
Pay to the crowd
Play yeah yeah

It's in the way you're always hiding from the light
Fast off to heaven just like Moses on a motorbike
No revolution maybe someone somewhere else
Could show you something new to help
With the ups and downs
I want to break it down
Break it down again

Break it down again
No more sleepy dreaming
No more building up
It is time to dissolve
Break it down it again
No more sleepy dreaming
