HEAD OVER HEELS - TEARS FOR FEARS - SONGS FROM THE BIG CHAIR LP - 1985

"Head over Heels" is a hit song by the British new wave band Tears for Fears, released in June 1985 as the fourth single from their multi-platinum second studio album, Songs from the Big Chair. Written by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, the track reached number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 and remains one of the defining anthems of 1980s pop. Key Facts; Release Date: June 14, 1985 (UK) / September 1985 (US). Charts: Peaked at number 12 in the UK and number 3 in the US. Album Context: On the album, the song is intentionally bookended by two parts of a track called "Broken", often transitioning as "Head over Heels / Broken" during live performances. Meaning: Frontman Roland Orzabal described it as a romantic love song that grows a bit perverse and obsessive toward the end. Cultural Impact & The Library Music Video; The song is famous for its quirky music video, directed by Nigel Dick, which features Roland Orzabal trying to win the affection of a librarian while absurd distractions—including a chimpanzee, a gas mask, and his bandmates playing bizarre characters—take place around them. Decades later, the song achieved massive cult status when it was prominently featured in a memorable, tracking-shot sequence introducing the high school characters in the 2001 psychological thriller film Donnie Darko. *Give a Thumbs Up 👍🏻 If You Enjoy The Video 👍🏻* **And Please Subscribe To My Channel @Papa_Bear_Beats For FREE! ❤️💬🔔 and Don't Forget to Leave a Comment ** *Thank You 👍🏻*
