TEARS FOR FEARS
MOTHERS TALK
(ORIGINAL EXTENDED 12" VERSION)
(BEAT OF THE DRUM MIX)
(U.S. REMIX)
"Mothers Talk", written by Roland Orzabal and Ian Stanley and sung by Orzabal, was Tears For Fears' seventh single release, the first taken from their 1985 LP Songs from the Big Chair and their fifth UK Top 40 chart hit. In the UK the song was released well in advance of the LP and showcased the band's edgier sound, as compared to their 1983 debut LP The Hurting.
"Mothers Talk" was one of the first Tears for Fears songs to demonstrate a creative use of sampling. The strings at the beginning of the song were culled from a Barry Manilow record, while the drum sample around which "Empire Building" is built was lifted from the Simple Minds song "Today I Died Again". This was the second Tears for Fears single for which Mercury Records would use the picture disc and coloured vinyl gimmicks as a promotional tool, as well as the first one to feature multiple 12" releases offering different remixes of the track.

While America saw "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" as the first single release from the Songs from the Big Chair LP, "Mothers Talk" was eventually released there as the fourth and final single from the album in April of 1986, peaking at #27 on the Billboard Hot 100. This version of the song was completely re-recorded by the band after their Big Chair tour wrapped up and was mixed by award-winning producer Bob Clearmountain. In addition to a different picture sleeve, the single featured a cover of Robert Wyatt's "Sea Song" as the B-side.
