It was an incredibly hot summer's day in sunny Bath.

He was with a guy I knew called Paul

and I thought that he was a French exchange student,

which are those foreigners that come over once a year

and you go over there, sort of thing.

His name was Curt, a short guy.

Very Indian-looking.

Dark hair and a tan.

He wasn't allowed out that day

because he'd previously been in a fight.

He thought that I was Indian, apparently.

Which was probably something to do

with the turban I was wearing at the time.

There's three things I remember about the shoot

for "Everybody Wants To Rule The World".

A whole bunch of things.

One was having to get up at half past four in the morning

to catch the sunrise scene next to a salt lake that stank.

Two was having to share a bed with Steve, our sound guy,

in a camper in the middle of nowhere.

And three was taking the Austin Healey car for a spin...

literally.

♪

I was looking for someone to work with

and I had a small eight-track studio.

I'd heard that they were the only people around

with any strong musical ideas.

Curt and I were in a vegetarian discotheque

late one night in Bath,

bopping away.

This tall geezer came up to us, he bent over and said,

"Would you like to use

my eight-track recording studio for free?"

Well, I thought that was a bit steep.

So we...

...knocked him down a bit and agreed to pay him.

This is Blenheim Palace.

This is the set we're going to be playing on in a minute.

It's set up for us already in front of the main entrance.

This is for some Japanese

television programme we're doing.

It's going to be a live broadcast

over millions... of miles,

thousands of miles, to Japan.

This is what's known as a dodgy hired drum kit.

Wheres my drum, Batman?

OK. Please. OK, let's go. "Shout".

It's a bit nippy. Oh!

- Are you originally from London?

- No.

We're from a city called Bath, in the West Country.

- It's quite a hot... - Small?

- Yeah. It's quite a hot American tourist spot, actually.

- Really? We've been here for a week and a half,

just looking around and happened to pop in here.

- Well, most stately homes around the country

actually have pop groups.

- One minute, please.

- One minute, everybody. Thank you.

- Did you get that? - Yes.

- From now on I won't ask you to acknowledge. OK.

Here we go.

Could you introduce for the Japanese audience, please?

- Yes. My name's Ian. - Ian.

- Roland. - Roland.

Roland.

- Curt. - Curt.

- Manny. - Manny.

Apparently, Winston Churchill used to live here. I believe.

Come on, please!

Would you like Japanese food?

Another one.

Yeah, another one.

- We hear you're coming to Japan to do a concert,

but when will it be?

- I believe it's the last two weeks in July.

The programme's sponsored by Honda,

and Suzuki are using "Shout" for their TV ad.

Honda wanted us to do a different song.

- Are you guys all right? You're ready to do it?

Let's go! - Go!

Five on one. I mean one on five.

Whatever the fuck it is I do mean.

The powers that be kindly granted me a month off

to finish writing songs for the album,

"Songs From The Big Chair".

Actually, I stole a rhythm from a Talking Heads track

and I had a bass-synth sound, an ominous bass-synth sound,

and I was just playing around with it and dancing about

and suddenly it hit me from the outer cosmos,

all at once: "Shout".

Quite simply it's about protest.

It's about making a noise about things,

either politically or socially, that disturb you.

For instance, nuclear weapons, or whatever.

When I wrote it, I found it quite therapeutic

just to sing these words,

"These are the things I can do without."

And I think that has been part

of its appeal to a lot of people.

Initially it was just a chorus and the idea I had, at the time,

was that it would be a kind of mantra thing

and it would be repeated over and over again.

I went round to his house one day

and he was working in his dining room downstairs

and he just played it and... I don't know.

It took weeks to convince him that it was any good.

But there was something about the way he sung it.

You know, you can tell when he's giving something.

Ian Stanley came down and I played it to him and he said,

"That's a worldwide smash!"

I said, "You've got to be joking."

It was the first record, the first single,

that we'd released,

which I'm totally happy with.

There's nothing that I'd change on it.

I think... it's the best version of the song we could have done.

"Listen" came about during the time of "The Hurting".

Roland and Curt were up in London

doing interviews for a few days.

So I had sometime to spare.

And I was just working at home one night.

I just started messing around

with a few synths and drum machines and stuff.

And did it all in a couple of days.

I played everything on it, this is the demo.

♪

When we decided to do it for the album

I was nervous about it

because it was sort of my baby, really.

No one else had much to do with it.

It was incongruous to everything else

that we were doing.

- Hello. - Hi.

- Did you play rugby at school? - Yes.

- Did you? But you didn't enjoy it.

- I enjoyed it up until the point I got knocked out.

Then I couldn't tackle anybody anymore and that was it for me.

I had to resign myself to timpani lessons.

I did. That's true. Seriously,

I was excused games for timpani lessons.

I had what you could call a very unorthodox background.

Neither of my parents had normal jobs, nine-to-five jobs.

My father had a nervous breakdown

when I was three years old

and became semi-bedridden.

To make money, he decided to run an entertainment agency

with my mother, who was a dancer.

Now, we had an awful lot

of different entertainers around the house.

We had conjurors, escape artists,

cat jugglers...

and... quite a lot of guitarists and singers,

and that's where I first got into the guitar

as a means of accompanying the voice.

and she's about this high.

- We were about 14 then, when we used to go and see them.

She was a young boy's dream.

This is our first concert in Germany since...

It's weird because, to us, we'd had success before

because we were very successful in England.

When it's your home country

you don't consider anywhere else in the world.

I find it now very strange that we're going

to countries I've never been to before

and our records have been number one,

but I've never been there.

The idea for the title was from a film called "Sybil",

which is about a girl with 14 different personalities.

Her analyst has this very large chair

and when she regresses back

to certain personalities in her past

she always wants to sit in this big chair,

because it's where she feels comfortable,

not scared of anyone,

not frightened of what the world thinks of her.

It conjured up just a really nice image for us,

so we decided to use it for the B-side of "Shout".

And when we got to the album title we had a lot of choices.

In the end, because the album's very much

a combination of eight songs,

we decided to call it "Songs From The Big Chair".

You're absolutely fantastic.

No, I actually mean that.

Audience member: You, too!

♪ My kind of town ♪

Stuttgart.

Well, I think "The Hurting" period

was influenced by all my childhood

more than anything else.

I think that the album was...

an album that we wanted to do for quite a few years,

which was based around our childhood experiences

and our current thoughts about them.

After "The Hurting", we got very much involved

in our own home studio.

We learnt all about reverb and EQ

and all the things that kind of come in handy

when you're in a recording studio,

so much so that we sort of forgot about the song.

We actually attempted making records without songs

and then fitting songs in later

to a bunch of interesting sounds.

That resulted in a single called "The Way You Are",

which, if you analyze it,

has some great bits in,

but together it's pretty hard to get a hold of.

It took us quite a long time to breakout of that

and eventually we did

with a more raucous version of "Mothers Talk".

♪

"Mothers Talk" is basically two ideas.

The first comes from an old wives' tale,

which mothers say to their children

when their children pull a face.

They say, "You'll stay like that when the wind changes."

That's where I got the idea for the lyric

"My features form with a change in the weather."

Also, around about the time I was finishing the lyric,

the American nuclear missiles

were being brought into England.

A lot of people were quite scared about it,

I certainly was.

Therefore it took on a nuclear flavour,

which is not out of keeping with the initial idea.

This is a banana solo.

Tears For Fears was not conceived as a touring band,

it was first a studio setup.

Was it more out of necessity

that you turned into a touring band?

- Yeah, well the reason we were a recording band was because

we'd been in a live band before, myself and Roland,

and slogged our way around the clubs and got nowhere.

When we used to make records, we used to go in the studio

and record as a live band

and it just didn't work on the record.

It just doesn't work that way.

You have to know how to record.

So when we split from that group

we decided we'd learn how to record,

because it is a necessity.

If you want to get anywhere, you've got to make good records.

So we went into a studio, into an eight-track with Ian Stanley

and learned how to layer our songs

and how to use a studio

and to use different keyboards.

So initially, we very much shied away from playing live

because it really ruined us before.

"The Working Hour" came about

when we were rehearsing for our second or third tour

at a school called King Edward's School, in Bath.

I was just messing about on the drums

and came up with the basic pattern

that goes on during the verse of the song,

which Roland latched onto.

He started playing some chords to that.

Ian had another set of chords

which were a totally different song.

We put the two together and it seemed to work.

This is Munich in the summer. This is Tears For Fears.

I'm number one.

There have been two distinct stages

in Tears For Fears' history so far.

Both albums. "The Hurting",

in which you could say we laid ourselves bare.

We made a very fragile album,

which was full of adolescent emotions

that most people try to forget and sweep under the carpet.

With "Songs From The Big Chair", in the song, "Mothers Talk",

it was time to put our clothes on

and face the world.

Tomorrow we're playing our 100th gig

on this world tour, here in sunny Seattle.

And we finish the tour the end of November,

which is probably before this actually goes out,

but that's in about two and a half months' time.

Then we're going to take a long holiday

and start writing for the new album.

Maybe we'll lay ourselves bare again, wide open,

but maybe this time revealing an incredibly hairy chest.
