Head Over Heels Bass Transcription

The bass line for Tears for Fears' song Head Over Heels has always fascinated me because there is so much movement in it compared to the song. The song's tempo would be considered andante or "walking pace" but the bass line's moving eighth notes give it a unique feel. Listen close to the recording to try to catch all the articulations that are added to the line. It is a great lesson in putting a line together.

  1. Thank you for this. Very cool use of non chordal tones on the strong beats. Love that ostinato application using the Dsus4 to 3 then root over the C & D. Looking forward to covering this with an 80's themed band next month in Atlanta.
