Woman in chains - Tears for fears

The second single from Tears for fears' third album 'The seeds of love' was 'Woman in chains', featuring the then-unknown Oleta Adams on vocals. The boys from Tears for fears discovered her while she was playing in Kansas. She'd released two self-financed albums which had limited success. They chatted with her after her performance, and two years later they contacted her to invite her to join their band as a singer.

'Woman in chains' was one of the strongest tracks on the album, so it was no real surprise that it was released as a single. The two bonus tracks on this disc are pretty surprising, especially the improvised 'My life in the suicide ranks'.

1. Woman in chains
2. Always in the past
3. My life in the suicide ranks
4. Woman in chains (instrumental)
