Tears For Fears - Sowing The Seeds Of Love

The song's title was inspired by a radio programme that Orzabal had heard at the time about folk song collector Cecil Sharp. One of the songs was called "The Seeds of Love", which Sharp learned from a gardener called Mr. England (reflected in the lyric "Mr. England sowing the seeds of love").[4] in 1903. Sharp overheard John England singing the song, and was inspired to look more deeply into English traditional songs. The Seeds of Love was therefore the first song that Sharp collected, and the one that sparked the English folk song revival. [5]

Tears For Fears - Sowing The Seeds Of Love

Even if the world remained to be a troubled place after this song was released, the ensuing years would lead to relative political calm, with the fall of the Berlin Wall and up until 9/11. By 1991, Thatcher was out, even if the Tories were still in. But, unfortunately, Tears For Fears co-founder Curt Smith was also out. He and singer-guitarist and songwriter Roland Orzabal fell out during a time of great financial upheaval for the band, and acrimoniously so. Orzabal would make Tears For Fears a one-man show during the 1990s. So much for the seeds of love, at least temporarily.
