Review about "Shout" success.- "Shout" is a song originally written by Roland Orzabal and Ian Stanley of the British band Tears for Fears. It was the band's eighth single release (the second taken from their second LP Songs from the Big Chair) and sixth UK Top 40 hit, peaking at #4 in January 1985. In the USA, it reached #1 on August 3, 1985 and remained there for three weeks. A smash hit, "Shout" would become one of the most successful pop songs of 1985, eventually reaching the Top Ten in 25 countries.
In the UK, Shout was released in a variety of formats including 7", 12", and even a 10" single - a format quite uncommon at that time. A special 7" boxed pack with a Tears for Fears 1985 calendar was also released.
While Tears for Fears' previous single "Mothers Talk" had showcased a new, more extroverted songwriting style, "Shout" was an unexpected synth-rock anthem, complete with power chords, heavy percussion, and female backing vocals. The song even features a lengthy guitar solo, something previously unheard of in Tears for Fears' music.
Roland Orzabal handles the lead vocal on the song, with both he and Curt Smith singing the chorus.
"The song was written in my front room on just a small synthesizer and a drum machine. Initially I only had the chorus, which was very repetitive, like a mantra. I played it to Ian Stanley, our keyboardist, and Chris Hughes, the producer. I saw it as a good album track, but they were convinced it would be a hit around the world"--"A lot of people think that 'Shout' is just another song about primal scream theory, continuing the themes of the first album. It is actually more concerned with political protest. It came out in 1984 when a lot of people were still worried about the aftermath of The Cold War and it was basically an encouragement to protest". — Roland Orzabal
"It concerns protest inasmuch as it encourages people not to do things without actually questioning them. People act without thinking because that's just the way things go in society. So it's a general song, about the way the public accepts any old grief which is thrown at them." —Curt Smith
"Shout" is by far the most abundantly remixed song in the Tears for Fears catalog, with at least fifteen different versions of it having been officially released under the band's name.
As was commonplace during the 1980's, the original 12" vinyl single release featured an extended remix of the song. Three remixes by collaborators Steve Thompson and Michael Barbiero later appeared on American releases of the single, including dub and a cappella versions. More recently, remixes have been done by notable DJs such as Jakatta, Fergie, Skylark and Beatchuggers.
In addition to the twelve-inch mixes, "Shout" also appeared in three different 7" versions. The original single mix released in the UK and much of the rest of the world clocks in at 5:53 and is the closest match to the version that appeared as the lead track on the Songs from the Big Chair LP. The version released in Germany and Japan is 4:51 in length and fades out during the guitar solo. Meanwhile, the final version released in America is specifically tailored for radio play at a concise 3:59 in length, featuring edits to the chorus and instrumental sections.
The promotional clip for "Shout", filmed in late 1984, was the second Tears for Fears clip directed by famed music video producer Nigel Dick. It features footage of Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith at Durdle Door in Dorset, England, as well as a studio jam with the full band, including Ian Stanley and Manny Elias, performing the song amidst a crowd of family and friends. The video reportedly cost only £14,000 to produce. Along with the clip for "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", the "Shout" video had a big hand in helping break Tears for Fears in America, due to its heavy airplay on music video pioneer MTV. Ironically, the band had at one time considered making a second video for the song's American single release, as the original was not considered MTV friendly.
