Songs From The Big Chair (Deluxe)

Songs from the Big Chair is the second studio album by the English pop rock band Tears for Fears, released on 25 February 1985 by Phonogram Records and Mercury Records. The follow-up to the band's successful debut album, The Hurting, Songs from the Big Chair marked a departure from that album's dark, introspective style, featuring a more mainstream, glossy sound, with sophisticated production values, increased guitar use, and diverse stylistic influences, while Roland Orzabal and Ian Stanley's lyrics reflected socially and politically conscious themes. The album peaked at number two in the UK and at number one in the US, becoming a multi-platinum seller in several countries and the band's most successful album to date. The singles "Shout" and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" both topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and reached the top 5 of the UK singles chart, while "Head over Heels", "Mothers Talk", and a re-recorded version of "I Believe" were also successful internationally.
