One of the finest albums of the 1980s (in the opinion of Wes), Songs from the Big Chair spawned a number of hits, including the iconic “Shout“. Tears for Fears is an almost perfect amalgam of the decade: big hair, big teeth, big clothes, and great songwriting. It’s frequently considered to be an “emo” song, but in reality, it’s a semi-political call to action complete with a fist-pumping chorus. Wes and Clay discuss the music video and whether or not it helps the song get its point across. They discuss songwriting from the ’80s, having a face for radio, and forgetting that bands play instruments! * Listen to the songs we’ve covered!* Spotify Playlist* Listen and Subscribe: * Website* iTunes* Spotify* PocketCasts* RSS * Support the show:* Patreon* PayPal* Merchandise * Connect with us:* Wes on Twitter* Clay on Twitter* Facebook* Discord* E-mail
