SEE what did I tell you, it's been under 15 minutes and so far GREAT news has hit. Tears For Fears is reuniting! There hasn't been an album featuring both Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith since 1989. I'm so excited. Most who know me know I'm a pretty big 80s fan, the music of the time was great. And people who say they hated the 80s just had unhappy childhoods and probably got skinburn too often on their slip n slide. Tears For Fears remains one of my favorite artists simply because of the depth and meaning embodied within their songs. Orzabal forsaw things to come and wrote about them in his songs, and if you look at the lyrics you can clearly see that a lot of these things have come to pass. I dedicate today Tears For Fears day and I leave you with one of my favorite TFF songs involving a line about luck :)

Head Over Heels

Head Over Heels
I wanted to be with you alone
And talk about the weather
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
Won't escape my attention
You keep your distance with a system of touch
And gentle persuasion
I'm lost in admiration could I need you this much
Oh, you're wasting my time
You're just wasting time
Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out till I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
Don't don't throw it away
I made a fire and watching burn
Thought of your future
With one foot in the past now just how long will it last
No no no have you no ambition
My mother and my brothers used to breathe in clean in air
And dreaming I'm a doctor
It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand
Oh I feel so...
Something happens and I'm head over heels
And this my four leaf clover
I'm on the line, one open mind
This is my four leaf clover
