The story behind

Tears for Fears recorded Badman’s Song in 1989, within the album The Seeds of Love. The song lasts 8 minutes and 33 seconds, and feels like a story being told aloud, with a rhythm that goes back and forth, as if someone were walking down a deserted street. The main vocals carry the weight, as if speaking about something that hurts, something they don't want to let go of. There is a piano that moves with the lyrics, as if accompanying a conversation in which secrets are revealed. The song doesn't stop, it prolongs, as if time is stretched so every word can be heard. It is a piece that was recorded in the middle of a long and costly process, but ended up being part of an album that reached number one in the United Kingdom.
