Tears For Fears ~ I Believe You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Tears For Fears are such a great band, way underrated.
The whole album is fantastic Shout, The Working Hour, Everybody Wants To Rule The World, I Believe, Mothers Talk etc.
There first few albums are masterpieces... and this song is one of there best Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

There's an actual music video for I Believe, which has a different version than the one on the album, but it's not on Youtube. I have a found a performance from their Going To California concert video with Oleta Adams singing.

Huge TFF fan here...
I saw them twice in August, and then Oleta Adams in October.
LOVE LOVE LOVE that song! I love her version as well. "Love Hurts. Your lies, they cut me. Now your words don't mean a thing. I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..." -Cher, "Woman's World" | |

TFF discovered Oleta singing in a hotel, and asked her to join them on their tour and the album they were recording (The Seeds Of Love).

I remember how excited when her first album came out. People were asking me if I'd heard of her, and I was like, "Please! She sang with TFF!" "Love Hurts. Your lies, they cut me. Now your words don't mean a thing. I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..." -Cher, "Woman's World" | |

Is that the one produced by Roland Orzabal? You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

I wasn't sure if that was her 1st album or if she did anything pre TFF. Like I found out later that Rosie Gaines had some albums out before working with Prince (and she was slim then).

Great song from a great album. I love TFF! I'm still pissed I missed them on tour this summer.  "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

I decided to do a search:
I found out there was a self-released album called "Going on Record" in 1983....
Wow... I missed that one!

I didn't know that about Rosie
But her 1st album is good, i like her voice!
Also note, the video for I Believe is so... depressing to me. Roland is sitting in a chair in a dark room or something of that manor and singing. Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

It was written for his father, who he didn't really have a great relationship with. "Love Hurts. Your lies, they cut me. Now your words don't mean a thing. I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..." -Cher, "Woman's World" | |

This record came out in 1985, but I've never heard anything from it.
