Tears For Fears Release Concert Film and New Music
Tears For Fears recently expressed mixed feelings about their upcoming concert film, “Tears For Fears Live (A Tipping Point Film),” which premieres in select cinemas on October 24 and 26. In an interview, Curt Smith humorously noted, “There are always things you would change,” while bandmate Roland Orzabal joked about his pants, saying, “I should have bought some flares.”
The film showcases performances from their concert in Franklin, Tennessee, and coincides with the release of their first official live album, “Songs For A Nervous Planet.” Orzabal clarified that previous live albums were put together by their record label without their input. This time, they have full control over their music.
The concert features both classic hits like “Everybody Wants To Rule The World” and new tracks from their recent album, “The Tipping Point,” released in February 2022. Orzabal expressed surprise at the album’s global success, noting that the new songs resonate more powerfully in a live setting. He remarked, “We’d become a slightly different band… It’s a completely different band than the one that was playing ‘Massey Hall’ or ‘Going to California.'”
Smith emphasized that the film and album aim to demonstrate their capabilities as a live band, especially since many fans have never seen them perform. He reflected on being labeled a synth duo despite both members being guitarists, highlighting the importance of showcasing their live performances.
In addition to live recordings, the album includes four new songs that they didn’t consider bonus tracks, each with its own significance. “Say Goodbye To Mum And Dad” stands out as a cheerful anthem, while “Astronaut” explores themes of alienation. Orzabal wrote “The Girl That I Call Home” for his new wife, Emily, who also inspired the psychedelic track “Emily Said.”
The new music serves as an optimistic reflection of their current state, contrasting with the themes of pain in “The Tipping Point,” which was influenced by Orzabal’s personal loss. He noted that they are no longer confined to comparisons with other bands, allowing them the freedom to explore their creativity.
As Orzabal humorously concluded, his immediate goal is to find a good pair of trousers, underscoring their lighthearted approach as they continue to create music after more than 40 years in the industry.
