Tears for Fears

So, when you're parents rocked their 20 somethings in the 80's... you know that era will be a part of your life. Movies, culture, music... but not the clothing. The clothing should not be relived. And with that said, my sisters and I have grown to share an appreciation for 80's music, mostly thanks to our father. Yes, I know many of you think it's attrocious (including our husbands!) but we just love it! It is so much more than a silly song with somewhat irrelevant lyrics. This is in part due to the fact that when said father wanted to go to concerts (which is still an activity of the present)... he's been known to take a daughter or two with him.

Thank you father for sharing this thing we enjoy with you individually, and together as sisters...

Lately I've been using actual CD's rather than my iPod, and it has been quite enjoyable to commit to an album, and listen to it twice over. yesterday's CD was the best of Tears for Fears... and that was probably my best decision for the day.

There was a song that reminded me of each sister, and I loved it.


1. Everybody Wants to Rule the World- Shmee (Ash)
This reminds me of her because of her love for the movie Real Genius. Great film. And I believe it's frequented a few playlists of hers over the years. Mostly reminiscent of the years spent with her driving me every where during her junior/senior year. Those were literally good times.
2. Break it Down Again- Me (muahaha)
Ok, I'm not MY sister, but I am A sister... and this song is just my very favorite. Gets me so pumped.
3. Sewing the Seeds of Love- Nerr (Abby)
Dad took Abby to the Tears for Fears concert, and ever since this song has just reminded me of her. I think she tends to sing this one the most.
4. Shout- Al
Now this song doesn't remind me of her because she loves it, but the first line says "shout, shout, let it all out" and THAT reminded me of her because we used to tell Alex to "cry louder" when she would get upset. Rude, I know, but we thought it was funny that she would actually do it and we found it quite entertaining. Glad she's all grown up now, ha. That and this song reminds me of a more vintage "Shout" song, that she used to love. My dad would turn it on and we would run around the downstairs throwing our hands in the air while the song was playing. A hoot and a half.

Love you guys.
Have a listen.

When dad tries to educate Jeremy on 80's music, movies, etc., he often says..."this (song/movie) revolutionized the 80's." Now Jeremy says that about random things all the time. And yes I still put that song on many a playlist, and I also love Break it Down Again.
