Tears for Fears — Shout

The story behind

Tears for Fears released Shout in November 1984, a song that from the beginning had a strong and direct sound. The song was recorded in a studio with a synthesizer and a drum kit, and what started as a repetitive chorus ended up becoming something more. The idea came up during the recording of another song, and it developed in the middle of a birthday party. The lyrics weren't about a primitive scream, but about the power of people to protest, in the middle of a society that doesn't give them space to think. The song became an international hit, reached number one in the United States and became one of the most recognized songs of the eighties. With its powerful rhythm and a guitar that lingers, Shout became a track that is constantly remixed, with versions ranging from classic remixes to a cappella interpretations. ↓ Skip to chords
