Tears for Fears é uma dupla de synthpop/new wave britânica formada em 1981 em Bath, Inglaterra, pelos amigos de infância Roland Orzabal e Curt Smith. O grupo se destacou pela versatilidade de temas usados em suas canções, pelo detalhismo e pela vigorosa utilização do sintetizador.
Após o fim da banda de mod revival Graduate, Orzabal e Smith resolveram formar outro grupo. O nome Tears for Fears foi criado a partir dos ensinamentos do psicoterapeuta Arthur Janov, cuja teoria do Grito Primal havia fortemente influenciado John Lennon.

TEARS FOR FEARS: "SOWING THE SEEDS OF LOVE" (Roland Orzabal / Curt Smith)
[Verse 1]
Gm7F High time we made a stand EbMaj7Am/D And shook up the views of the common man EbMaj7Am/D And the love train, rides from coast to coast EbMaj7Am/D DJ's the man we love the most
Gm7F Could you be could you be squeaky clean EbMaj7Am7 And smash every hope of democracy EbMaj7Am/D As the headline says you're free to choose EbMaj7Am/D There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes EbMaj7Am/D One of these days they're gonna call it the blues
[Chorus]
CCMaj7Am Sowing the seeds of love AmMaj7 FMaj7 Seeds of love AbG7 Sowing the seeds
(repeat)
[Verse 2] (same chords as verse one)
I spy, tears in their eyes They look to the skies for some kind of divine intervention, food goes to waste So nice to eat, so nice to taste
Politician granny with your high ideals Have you no idea how the majority feels So without love and a promised land We're fools to the rules of the government plan Kick out the style, bring back the jam
[Chorus]
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
FMaj7EbMaj7 Feel the pain, talk about it FMaj7EbMaj7 If you're a worried man, then shout about it FMaj7EbMaj7 Open hearts, feel about it FMaj7EbMaj7 Open minds, think about it FMaj7EbMaj7 Everyone, read about it FMaj7EbMaj7 Everyone, scream about it FMaj7EbMaj7 Everyone, everyone FMaj7EbMaj7 Everyone, read about it EbD7 Read it in the books, in the crannies and the nooks there are books to read
(Chorus omit words)
[Bridge]
Am7D Sowing the seeds of love Am7D Sowing the seeds Am7D Sowing the seeds of love Am7D Sowing the seeds of love DDdimG5D Mister England sowing the seeds of love
[Verse 4]
Gm7F Time to eat all your words EbMaj7Am/D Swallow your pride, Open your eyes Gm7F Time to eat all your words EbMaj7Am/D Swallow your pride, Open your eyes Gm7F High time we made a stand EbMaj7Am/D And shook up the views of the common man EbMaj7Am/D And the love train, rides from coast to coast EbMaj7Am/D Every minute of every hour EbMaj7Am/D I love a sunflower EbMaj7Am/DEbMaj7Am/DEbMaj7Am/DEbMaj7Am/D And I believe in love power, love power, love power
[Chorus]
[Ending]
AbG7 Sowing the seeds AbG7 An end to need AbG7 And the politics of greed
