Tears For Fears - Advice For The Young At Heart

With their first three albums, Tears For Fears evolved from a "thinking man's" synth pop band to a stadium friendly monster that conquered America to a pop band with incredible, Beatlesque pop songs. The third of these albums is 1989's The Seeds Of Love from which "Advice For The Young At Heart" is taken. I had more or less forgotten how good this song is until I heard it on the iPod a few minutes ago. This is an elegant, easy-sounding West Coast type pop song that really should have become a bigger hit than it was. It deserves a far more prominent place in the duo's canon.
