Sowing The Seeds Of Love
tears for fears [www.hugoteacher.blogspot.com] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And shook up the views of the common man
And the love train rides from coast to coast
D.j.'s the man we love the most
Could you be, could you be squeaky clean and smash every hope of democracy
As the head line says you're free to choose
There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes
One of these days they're gonna call it the blues yeah, yeah
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
I spy tears in their eyes they look to the skies
For some kind of divine intervention
Food goes to waste
So nice to eat, so nice to taste
Politician granny with your high ideals
Have you no idea how the majority feels?
So with out love and a promised land
We're fools to the rules of a government plan
Kick out the style, bring back the jam, yeah, yeah
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
The birds and the bees
My girlfriend and me in love
Feel the pain
Talk about it
If you're a worried man
Then shout about it
Open hearts fell about it
Open minds think about it
Everyone read about it
Every one scream about it
Everyone (everyone, yeah)
Everyone (everyone) read about it, read about it
Read it in the books, in the crannies and the nooks, there are books to read
(Sowing the seeds) Sowing the seeds of love, we're sowing the seeds, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love
Sowing the seeds of love
Mister England sowing the seeds of love
Time to eat all your words
Swallow your pride
Open your eyes
Time to eat all your words
Swallow your pride
Open your eyes
Time to eat all your words (High time we made a stand and shook up the view of the common man)
Swallow your pride (And the love train rides from coast to coast)
Open your eyes (every minute of every hour)
Open your eyes (I Love a sunflower)
Open your eyes (and I believe in love power, love power)
Open your eyes (love power)
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love
sowing the seeds, an end to need
And the Politics of Greed With Love
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love (hand in hand), seeds of love (hand in hand), sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
“Sowing The Seeds Of Love” by Tears for Fears is a song that calls on people to stand up and challenge the views of the common man, particularly the government plans that lead to food waste and a lack of promised land for those who are dreaming of it. The song is a call to action, a demand to raise one’s voice and shout about the issues that concern us, and to shake up the status quo. The lyrics invite the listener to challenge the authorities forcefully and to believe in the power of love and community to overcome the politics of greed that continuously seep into society. Through this song, Tears for Fears is advocating for love and unity as the way forward, an end to the need for individualistic selfishness and greed.
The song further depicts how politicians are often disconnected from the immense challenges faced by the common man, and are primarily motivated by their high ideals that are sometimes out of touch with reality. The lyrics of the song further underline that it is high time for people to take a collective stand and challenge the government's plans that continually oppress them, even if it means becoming political activists. The song encourages people to believe in their power, and for everyone to read about it and scream about it. The song's overall message is aptly summarized by the line "Sowing the seeds of love, we're sowing the seeds, an end to need, and the politics of greed, with love."
Line by Line Meaning
High time, we made a stand
It's time for us to take action and stand up for what we believe in
And shook up the views of the common man
And challenge the commonly held beliefs that the majority of people have
And the love train rides from coast to coast
Our message of love and unity is spreading throughout the country
D.j.'s the man we love the most
We appreciate the DJs who play our music and spread our message
Could you be, could you be squeaky clean and smash every hope of democracy
Are you so pure that you would destroy our democratic values?
As the head line says you're free to choose
As the newspaper headline says, you have the freedom to decide your own path
There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes
But your choices have consequences, and you may have to deal with shame and regret
One of these days they're gonna call it the blues yeah, yeah
Someday, the weight of your actions will catch up to you and you will feel the blues
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
We are spreading our message and planting the seeds of love
I spy tears in their eyes they look to the skies
I see people crying and searching for answers from a higher power
For some kind of divine intervention
They long for a miracle or sign from God
Food goes to waste
Meanwhile, there is plenty of food available but it is going to waste
So nice to eat, so nice to taste
It's a shame that such good food is not being used to help those who need it
Politician granny with your high ideals
Older politicians with lofty ideals
Have you no idea how the majority feels?
Do they really understand what the average person is going through?
So with out love and a promised land
Without love and a better future
We're fools to the rules of a government plan
We will blindly follow the government's rules and plans
Kick out the style, bring back the jam, yeah, yeah
We need to get rid of the current status quo and bring back the energy and passion of the past
The birds and the bees
We need to focus on the natural world and the cycle of life
My girlfriend and me in love
We celebrate and cherish the love we have with our partners
Feel the pain
We must acknowledge and empathize with the pain and suffering of others
Talk about it
We need to have open and honest conversations about these issues
If you're a worried man
If you're worried and scared about the future
Then shout about it
Speak up and make your voice heard
Open hearts fell about it
Those with open hearts will be affected by these issues
Open minds think about it
Those with open minds will consider these issues deeply
Everyone read about it
We want everyone to know and learn about these issues
Every one scream about it
We want everyone to be vocal and passionate about these issues
Everyone (everyone, yeah)
Everyone, and we mean everyone
Read it in the books, in the crannies and the nooks, there are books to read
The information you need is out there, you just have to look for it
Time to eat all your words
It's time to admit that you were wrong and take responsibility for your actions or words
Sowing the seeds of love, sowing the seeds
We will continue to spread our message of love
An end to need
We want to put an end to poverty and suffering
And the Politics of Greed With Love
We want to replace selfish, greedy politics with a more compassionate and loving approach
Sowing the seeds of love (hand in hand), seeds of love (hand in hand), sowing the seeds
We will spread our message hand in hand, together
Mister England sowing the seeds of love
Even our country's leaders should embrace our message of love and unity

( Not in the USA - But in Europe they were GIANTS )
-
This song remembers to BEATLES SONGS - Hear some lines of =
"Penny Lane" and "Lucy in the sky with Diamonds".
In the middle part = some typically "ELO - SYNTHIE SOUNDS"
and Rolands Voice and Vocal Style = A little bit like the young GEORGE MICHAEL.
+
In Fact = 3 SONGS - Melted together TO ONE MASTERPIECE.
This Guys are PROFESSIONAL SONGWRITERS !

My favorite from T f F : "PALE SHELTER" . - IMMORTAL !

This song came to me when I was trying to drink myself to death.
And now I’m sober, planting seeds of Love, like this song was planted in me 💕

Congrats on the sobriety- not to sound cliche, but take it a day a time. It’s not a race
@dm_grant
Right on.
