British duo Tears For Fears have announced their first-ever official live album, Songs For A Nervous Planet, which is due out on October 25. The album includes 4 brand-new studio tracks, including new single “The Girl That I Call Home,” available now; listen to/share the song HERE. See track listing below.

Along with the album, they’ve announced a concert film shot and recorded at FirstBank Amphitheater at Graystone Quarry in Franklin, TN, during their sold-out global Tipping Point Tour Part 2. Tears For Fears Live (A Tipping Point Film) will be distributed in cinemas worldwide via Trafalgar Releasing. Watch/share a live performance clip HERE.

On creating the album and film, Curt Smith shares, “We decided to film the live show last year. I think a lot of people don't know that we are a good live band, actually! They see a duo, and they think it's going to be two people with a couple of keyboards and a bunch of backing tapes, and that'll be it. Over the years, we've vastly improved since our heyday back in the Eighties.” Roland Orzabal adds, “We’ve never released an official live album, so you could say this is an album forty years in the making.”

The film will be premiering in over 1,100 cinemas worldwide on October 24 and October 26 while tickets go on sale Thursday, September 19. More information can be found HERE as well.

On the new track, Roland Orzabal recalls, “My wife Emily has been on at me for years to try and write her a love song. So eventually I did it. I was in Hawaii, I took my phone with me and every day I would sing over the backing track, many, many times. But I couldn't for the life of me, think of a title. Then one night, I went to bed and I did that thing where we ask the universe, ‘please gimme a hand, gimme, a really good title.’ I woke up the next morning with ‘The Girl That I Call Home.’ And my wife loves it.”

Recorded at the same time as the live album, Tears For Fears Live (A Tipping Point Film) features many of the band’s hits including “Everybody Wants To Rule The World,” “Shout” and “Sowing The Seeds Of Love”, “Mad World”, “Head Over Heels”, etc. — along with new fan favorites from The Tipping Point — their first album in 17 years.
