“In early 2020, Curt and I sat down together with just a couple of acoustic guitars. The first time in decades. We needed a meeting of minds, a coming together psychically. We were literally going back to the drawing board looking for some depth, heart and soul with which to complete our album. Curt came up with this simple folk/country riff, a little bit Dylan, a little bit Johnny Cash, and then we were off. It was the complete opposite of what we had been trying to do for many years – searching for the elusive, modern hit single. We felt suddenly unencumbered, free if you like, no longer worrying about the market, about success, but drawing on influences from our childhoods. It was at this point that the whole album started opening up. ‘No Small Thing’ was the key, the thing that turned a red light green,” - Roland Orzabal
"No Small Thing" feels like it could have been a song from a seventies or sixties acoustic folk album with how the track starts. The fact that we felt confident enough to go from there to the end of the song to where it’s just absolute mayhem speaks to that sense of freedom, and that’s our comfort zone musically.” - Curt Smith

Lyrics:
Get your sweets from the candyman
Get your truth from the shelf
Don’t buy into the fairy tale
Just be good to yourself
‘Cos you know that I love you girl
You’re my way out of hell
But I’ve just one more song to sing
One more story to tell
When I’m tired of the bright lights
When I’m tired of the wine
I’ll go down to Wheal Mexico
To the depths of the mine
When I’m forty years older
When I’m wrinkled and wise
I will trade all my liberty
For that look in your eyes
Reason gonna bind you
Cripple and confine you
Listen as your poor heart breaks
Take a trip to America
Let the wind blow right through your hair
We’ll buy beer and some hope to share
Everyday
‘Cos freedom is no small thing
We punish the child for flying too high
For rushing like the wind
Reason gonna bind you
Cripple and confine you
Listen as your poor heart breaks
Stars are like diamonds
We fly across the sky for them
No one’s gonna change who we are
‘Cos freedom is no small thing
We punish the child for flying too high
For rushing like the wind

These guys, Curt and Roland, are not of this Earth. Their talent and music is beyond masterful. It’s other-worldly. This is a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful song! 👌

For as long as I can remember, my teens maybe, these guys have been the soundtrack to my life. Now they're finally back and my god they are giving it some real substance. This song tears through your heart and soul & doesn't wanna let go. Wow incredible lyrics, harmonies and melody. A powerhouse of a tune. This is very rare these days. Thankyou Curt and Roland - don't ever stop.

Really, all I want right now is give Roland and Curt a big hug each. A hug of gratitude

I'll be honest: 'No Small Thing' surprised me quite a bit.
It's something different, even with its 60-70s country flavour in the main riff.
It's iridescent, multifaceted and swaying in its progression and gradually grows to literally explode in the second half.
These two gentlemen never cease to surprise us.

Never stop making music. You guys have always been the most worldly lyricists. Your music is more than good, it's important.

"When I am forty years older, wrinkled and wise."
Funny how the same band that spoke to me as a teenager now speaks to me as a white-haired guy in late middle age. My 15-year-old self listened to this band. It has been forty years, and here I am again.

This is definitely a song the whole world needs right now. Tears For Fears have always been both ahead of their time, as well as making music about current situations.

You don't think the song is going to end up where it does based on how it starts. It takes a huge left turn, and I love it

Freedom is no small thing ........ let’s fight for it. Beautiful and thought provoking ♥️

Tears for Fears was before their time. And now, they are right on time. I believe that they are timeless. Sincerely, Carly grateful for such thoughtful beautifully created songs.

Best band ever. Still killing it after all of these years. Interesting music - different enough to capture our ears; yet, wise enough to remind of us of everything that is beautiful. Tears for Fears: deserves exactly what they've given us: something perfect.

Long time TFF fan here at aged 50 years old. I grew up with your music and in a way it defined and shaped parts of me. I just watched and listened to No Small Thing for the first time tonight. It is without a doubt one of the most amazing things I've seen and heard for a very long time. I don't know how you manage it Curt and Roland, but please, PLEASE keep doing what you do.

This is what happens when Roland and Curt make what's in their heart. Music that's real, brilliant and all their own. Great song!
