Lyrics
Well the streets have started burning
There’s trouble in the towns
Guess the devil loves his playground, that’s for sure
I too often see the world through a veil of tears
Well to hell with my immunity
Gonna hold you close
Till the shadows disappear
If by magic you mean the ocean
If by tragic you mean the end
We weren’t wrong, we were just hungry
For manna from heaven
Come and drown me in the infinite sea
Drop me in rivers of mercy yeah
Dare I imagine some faith and understanding?
Drop me in rivers of mercy yeah
Bring out the dead tonight and bathe them in your sacred light to
Wash away the pain
Save me from the shadows yeah
Cry like a siren
The light on my horizon
Drop me in rivers of mercy yeah
Show me mercy, miracle waters
Make me golden, part of the dream
We got stung
We were just lovers
Born of temptation
Slow down river and float me upstream
Drop me in rivers of mercy yeah
Dare I imagine some faith and understanding?
Drop me in rivers of mercy yeah
Bring out the dead tonight and bathe them in your sacred light to
Wash away the pain
Save me from the shadows yeah
Cry like a siren
The light on my horizon
Drop me in rivers of mercy yeah
Spinning upside down
In the wake of mighty waves
See the anger of the world
When feelings run high
When feelings are so raw
We will give in to the night
Drop me in rivers of mercy yeah
Dare I imagine some faith and understanding?
Drop me in rivers of mercy yeah
Bring out the dead tonight and bathe them in your sacred light to
Wash away the pain
Save me from the shadows yeah
Cry like a siren
The light on my horizon
Drop me in rivers of mercy yeah

This song deserves a videoclip !!! Who agree ?
Meeeee!!
Agree.my favourite song from the record.
👏👏👍👍👍
Agreed
Definitely!
I grew up in the 80s and loved Tears for Fears because of their hits back then--"Shout" and "Everyone Wants to Rule the World". Forty years later I discover that those two hits were just scraping the surface. Had no idea they had written all these great songs like this one.
This generation's 'Woman In Chains'. LOVE this album!!!
As a teenager in the 80's, your voices sound like home. Grateful you guys are still doing it. 😌
that's true
@KI SS totally agree. I am 55.Totally blessed to be teens in the 80s. Great singers and bands. Tears for fears where in my top 10 favourites. Had so many great bands, Duran Duran, spandau ballet, Wham, dexys, human league, madness, specials, and many more plus solo artists.
@KI SS new wave was class. Brilliant.
need another british invasion
@@darwin01us where in Britain are you
At the Tipping Point Concert, Roland said “If you cry, I cry” after this song. I cried for him because it had to a lot to share his heartache thru a song. #THANKYOUTFF ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I didn't think Tears for Fears could ever write another song like "Famous Last Words" or "Woman In Chains" again, until I heard this one. It absolutely floored me. I listened to the album for the first time all the way thru, and have loved every track. All the great more Curt-centric stuff, and then this came on and blew my mind. I have never gotten such an emotional reaction to one of their songs since Famous Last Words. The context of this song, with all that is going on in the world right now, this just fits it so powerfuly! It's almost like a Gospel song. This is a new masterpiece. The whole album is excellent!
1000000 agree, I'm in 😭😭
I referenced Famous Last Words in my wedding speech for my brother and this song hits me equally as hard as that song and it's as impactful if not more. So thankful you found it as important.
"Me and My Big Ideas" is another song that I would add to that list.
@@rumblefish9 absolutely!!!
I'm listening to it for the first time as I write this comment. Wow! Just wow!
My mom died yesterday...this song gives me comfort in these difficult times...thank you Curt and Roland.
I'm sorry for your loss. I know that pain.
Thanks Louise. It's very kind of you. Take care
Im sorry for your loss. My good friend passed a week ago. This album is helping with his loss. I hope it helps u also.
@@pyrosho It does...it helps a lot...it takes me back to the 1980s, when I was a kid and there were no worries...just listening to good music.
@@pyrosho Be strong...take care.
The timing of this album could not have been better.
It's uncanny. We all need this
I agree.. writing this the 3rd day of Russia's invasion into Ukraine
100% agree. 🙏💙
You guys have hit the nail on the head.
A massive part of me wants to see this as a single with a really great video.
Nobody writes a song like Roland Orzabal he’s the king of ballads.
So true I don’t know any other bands or artists who put their soul into each song like tears for fears does!
Yes I so agree I love him
This song can only be described as 'breathtaking'.
It's one of their best songs. Truly remarkable.
Agree 100% - on repeat as I pray for those suffering
👍
Crushing.
Of course evviva tears of fears
I’ve had the CD for about 8 hours and this is the song I keep coming back to. It’s hauntingly beautiful.
Me too can’t get enough of it
Agreed. I love this! Break the Man is also very good. These guys are old and wise for sure.
Me too... I've played it dozens of times.
Same. So good...
I agree. It's beautiful.
The whole album is “I can’t put in to words” so beautiful this track has given me tears today
Me, too.
I shed quite some tears listing to this collection of songs. It feels like homecoming. Like finally being reunited with long lost friends. And I'm endlessly grateful to TFF for it.
First song that has brought me to tears in a long time.
Got me some goosebumps on top of goosebumps with this one.
Really got me this song 💙
The world is in turmoil... and I observe it with a half- broken heart... will we ever learn? But at least I woke up to a new album by my favourite band
to drive me through the grief, through hope and acceptance. Drop me in rivers of mercy, please
☀️☮️ 🙏❤️ 🌻☯️ So eloquently put.
I'm tearing 😢 up
Okay we get it you’re an English major and you think you’re going somewhere. Stop
I feel the pain too!, when will it all end.
Beautifully written
It's a divine gift to see groups like Tears For Fears, A-HA and CIA release new albums with such beautiful music. This song is one of the most beautiful I've ever heard.
The lyrics are from a person who has been thru a lot in life, yet understands life and wants to heal others ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely nothing compares to having heard this performed live. It was moving beyond words. A true religious experience.
So true, I saw them live on June 4 L.A.’s KIA Forum and this song immediately struck me- simply beautiful masterpiece! Roland got emotional at the end when he thanked the audience for singing along!
AMEN! yes
I just bought tickets to see them in Denver this summer in July. So excited!
I heard this live too!! 😢
Agreed! I heard it for the first time at their show a few weeks ago and now I'm obsessed with this whole album!
This band helped save my life years ago. Thank you
Same with me and Johnny Hates Jazz. The song Lighthouse is amazing. Check it out!
🥰IT WAS "LOVE AT FIRST HEAR" WITH TEARS FOR FEARS.
Curt and Roland, this is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. I was born the same year as both of you and have always been a very big fan. You are both so talented.
I agree with this feeling. One of the best ever and it will no doubt become one of their signature over their whole masterpiece and career. Can't be more grateful for this beauty of Gem...
I agree defenetly. Wonderful Song. Greets from Germany.
Such a moving profound song. Moved me to tears. Captures the troubles the world is going through today. The whole album is a masterpiece. Bravo Curt and Roland!
I also was so touched that I cried
Perfect time for this song to drop. The world needs it.
“Drop”? From where to where?

@@jeffclark7888 In Rivers of Mercy
One of the best songs I’ve heard in years. It’s timeless
Saying this as someone who knows little-to-nothing about Tears For Fears other than 'Shout' and 'Mad World', this is genuinely one of the best songs I've heard in a long long time.
That's an awesome comment!!!!
@@kevinl2578 no you are
You MUST visit Seeds of Love album and the film Going To Cal
My listening of late has mainly been Atmospheric Black Metal, the most recent Iron Maiden album, Katatonia, and other heavier acts, but I recently landed on the new Beach House, settling into its Dream Pop, Shoegazey mellow goodness. I've been stuck on that for a while, but then The Tipping Point came out. This album is so lush, so textured and perfect, that's it's hard to adequately craft words to fairly describe it. There are high points all over, like Stay, My Demons, and End Of Night, the title track, among others, but Rivers Of Mercy is something special. A sonic elixir for the ears. A healing hand, forged in melody and soaked in comfort, caressing the soul. This song resonates like few before it.
One of the most beautiful songs ever heard with great lyrics. Delivering such a masterpiece after 17 years apart is phenomenal.
Saw them live in NY performing this song - It was magical! Everyone turned their cell lights and started waving with their hands!
Vera magia❤
Completely agree with you! Just the line “I too often see the world through a veil of tears” is masterful and brilliant in its meaning and melodic styling. Shivers.
@@SageVince2022 Saw them in Seattle last night. Magical!!! ❤❤❤
Agreed.
This beautiful song has grown on me. Funny how my favourite new album is from my favourite band from when I was 15 years old. I'm in my fifties now.
Song of the Year............
The centerpoint of The Tipping Point.
The deepest track for sure, you can taste the pain.
Their history of consistent excellence in the music industry is virtually unparalleled.
Damn that was on point!!
This song is absolutely breathtaking. For me it represents the absolute best that TFF has to offer. Tender, vulnerable and lyrically brilliant.
Wow, talk about a song being released exactly when needed.
No words, just very deep feelings about this song.
Roland's voice is so haunting🙏
Just saw them in LA last night. Everyone turned on their cellphone flashlights during this song to acknowledge how moving it was. Roland was reduced to tears knowing they were still able to compel their fans. Hauntingly beautiful!
Awwww. Wish I was there
Im soo jealoussss ahhh! Lucky!
No doubts, the best album of 2022!!
Agree ! Ever choice TFF. Personal best notes over long time.
TFF / Kula Skaker / EMF all absolute CLASSIC new albums in 2022 = spoilt for choice and also very lucky. Cheers, this is an absolute belter!
In a car... barreling through the Scottish highlands with nobody around, on winding roads through hills and valleys, passing coastline and rivers of mercy... It was epic listening to this as I did exactly that. What a phenomenal mix of scenery and sound!
If this was the last thing I heard before I died, I would die happy.
Well, the streets have started burning
There's trouble in the towns
Guess the devil loves his playground
That's for sure
I too often see the world through a veil of tears
Well, to hell with my immunity
Gonna hold you close
'Til the shadows disappear
If by magic, you mean the ocean
If by tragic, you mean the end
We weren't wrong, we were just hungry
For manna from Heaven
And come and drown me in the infinite sea
Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah

Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah
Bring out the dead tonight

Спасибо за текст 4:34
Thanks TFF, your beautiful song has soothed my soul after my dear Dad passed away in April.
Love and respect. Rob.
May your father rest in peace. It's helping me sooth my soul to dealing with my mother passing away. It will be a year on August 5th, 2022.
@@tikneshiabeauford7289 thank you.... take care.
Stunning, right up there with women in chains
As they have both stated in interviews this album really benefits from listening to it as a journey. The songs have a determined flow and placement, and though the non-single songs may not stand out or hit as hard on their own on first listen , they all become more powerful and beautiful if listened in turn as intended. Please do so, and do it repeatedly
Yes... nicely put. I feel many albums are underrated and missed in that regard. I tend to think there's usually a reason some bands put certain songs ahead of others. One of the first bands I ever love was King Diamond - Abigail. Which is a story so listening to it in chronological order is the only way to really feel the full grasp of what the artists are trying to convey.
Thats so TFF lol🤍. Thanks for the input.
Definitely a concept album.
Yeah like this song right after the one before it. Perfect relief.
Probably the best tune out of this record along with "Long Long Time" and "Stay". The more I listen to this song the more I feel a subliminal Woman In Chains vibe. Is it just me ?
Oh no, it's not just you. Both songs are unbelievably amazing.
Agree, this is WIChains part II
Same rhythm. Brought me right back. So happy for this album.
It's the guitar arpeggio. The same tone and technique employed on Woman In Chains.
It’s not just you. Not at all. There is just something about this song that keeps pulling me in. It’s just so hauntingly beautiful.
This song right here....wow...beautiful...just beautiful.....💙💜💚❤🧡
A serious Peter Gabriel on Indy-Folk vibes here. Beautiful.
I wish you all rivers of mercy, manna from heaven, "some faith and understanding", a sacred light, pain washed away, miracle waters, that the dead be brought back to life. That leap of faith. I wish you all this, Curt, and Roland, and TFF fans. You're special to me and pray that the One from above may reveal even more to your hearts to put it in songs like these.
Hermoso🕊
I think I can speak for all of us when I say, we needed this. Thank you Tears For Fears for coming back.
Lost my step father this year. They call them "step fathers" cuz they "step" up to the plate. He gave me the life i couldn't have imagined. His career in the army gave me appreciation for life, travel and humankind. If it wasn't for him I never would have met my (girlfriend) now wife, in Germany. I followed in his footsteps, and am currently active duty. Don't regret a second! Before he died (3 years struggle with cancer) we promised to see T4F live... It never happened, but i was able to bring my children to see their first concert last week. Loved every minute and so did my family. This song would have been one of my dads favorites! Thank you Curt and Roland for giving me memories I'll never forget!
Quite possibly the finest music they've ever produced. Moves me to tears every time
Absolutely beautiful. TEARS FOR FEARS FOREVER!
I was a teen in the 80s...at that decade...wasn't available CZcams,Facebook, social media...my only way to hear music and videos was through my old radio,cassettes and tv...gosh...was a magic era...Tears for fears was one of my all-time favorite bands...songs like "shout"and "everybody wants to rule the world "...marked my life forever...hearing this song..brings me back memories from my beloved 80s years....it's like I'm standing at a door...a portal thought time...ready to come back to the past...sadly...that is just a impossible dream!But my days in the 80s was my best of times...best cartoons,best music,best school friends...best family moments...thanks Tears for fears...for this masterpiece...I travel through time hearing this lovely song...
No doubt and yet no time to loose: TEARS FOR FEARS for THE ROCKNROLL HALL OF FAME!!!!!!!!!!!! 😎💪🤘 Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹👋😀
Yes I Agree 💯 They Have Earned It!
Everything in earth worships god this is my feeling on this song .that even in hardships and noise of the world god with always give us a piece that we cannot even undesrtand is like the wind you dont know where it comes from or where does it go but you could feel it touching you.thank you lord for you love and piece, and thank you for the rivers of mercy of forgivness wish is Baptism. Glory to our god!
Just gorgeous! Perhaps the best song Peter Gabriel never wrote.
Best comment right here 😂
Omfg this is the most beautiful song iv ever heard. So so beautiful
Bro I’m a man’s man I cried bro
@@yaseenbradley9829 I did too
The band RUSH has a sweet one you’d like, for sure. It’s called RESIST.
You are welcome… and thank you. Peace!
@@SaintGomer ill take a listen
@@yaseenbradley9829 can you send link for the album chart positions as iv been trying to find it with no luck
One of the most beautiful songs Ive ever heard.
Beautifully Healing Music
'Dare I imagine some faith & understanding?' WOW.
"Well, to hell with my immunity
Gonna hold you close
'Til the shadows disappear...." Chapeau mr Roland. Thank you, this is the greatness of humanity.
Tears for fears, forever, music for the world.
This song is of consciousness and peace.
This song is so spiritual, offers such consolation, it has healing power. It’s a hymn, an elegant gospel which helps to accept the ordeals of life. It is an expression of wisdom composed in a song of solace and beauty. Thanks Tears for Fears for staying in touch with integrity. 🙏
This song has a real SOUL RESTING ability to it. It has a real PETER GABRIEL vibe to it as well which I adore
I said the same thing the first time I heard it. Very Peter Gabriel in the best way. ❤️
Same here. PG. With kinda a mix of Prefab Sprout and Mark Knopfler in the beginning.
Curt Smith and Roland in a recent interviews sites Gabriel's solo albums as a major influence of their youth.
It does, but PG never sounded this good. :)
@@sharonlatour6230 Then listen "Sky Blue" from PG and backing vocals on this track. Very similar to Rivers of Mercy.
So lovely to hear Roland’s beautiful voice again ❤️
Just gorgeous, tears welling.... aint a one of us, who doesn't need that atonement, and forgiveness..
The hope that the mercy of the COSMOS may cover us in our naked shame and foolishness.
For every pain n hurt I have caused to my kids and parents, to the world and myself....
For every fear turned into hate, for every moment lost to anger, for every loved one I have forsaken....
Drop me in this river.... PLease.
May it be so.
Drop me in the river’s of mercy, wash away the pain… another great song from Tears for Fears…this song has come at a better time, about to lose someone I love dearly in my life 🙏
This is an ode for life and death
GORGEOUS ! So gorgeous
My favourite song of this album!
Me too
Me three
This is one of those songs where you look at the length because you don’t want it to end
Agree.
I cried....ALOT! ❤😭 This is beyond beautiful! So beautiful and the words?!?!?! Omg! ❤❤❤❤❤
I feel the same way.🎼💙🤟
I know how you feel, crying now.
listening one more time🎵❤️
Why -- why is this not a single release?
Holy crap! This song is magical.
wow the sound quality is just crazy.
I recently attended the Tears for Fears concert in Kansas City. Both Starlight Theater and Tears for Fears were amazing in every way but, like most folks in the crowd, I mainly went to hear the songs I knew and could sing along with. And that part of the concert was every bit as fantastic as I imagined. And then they started playing this song. I was speechless, spellbound, and simply struck with how phenomenally beautiful this song truly is. Since, I've listened to it dozens of times and I can't get over how moving and emotional it is. You two are a gift, please don't ever stop sharing your magic with the world.
I never thought I'd find the song of my soul in this lifetime. There it is.
Tears for Fears amazing again !
Ci sono voluti 17 anni, anzi e' dal 1996 con Ratkos secondo il mio parere, ma ne e' valsa la pena. E' questo il vero Happy Ending. Bentornati leggende!
That is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard
Holy s**t what a beautiful song. So in touch with what's happening in our world. This rivals "Woman in Chains." Really, really great to hear from TFF again after all the years of struggle.
Roland and Curt, you have made it so difficult to pick the favorite track for this album... each song is so unique, powerful and meaningful.... I feel that I am floating on a river by listening to this song. Amazing!#FreeIran #MahsaAmini
I love that fact it’s difficult to decide makes it so great.
@@yaseenbradley9829 exactly
Amazing record!
Brilliant!
There's no words needed.... Close the eyes and flying on all of the tones and words.....
I mean wow.... This absolutely beautiful song must be up there with some of the greatest ever! Simply stunning.
I heard this live last night in Austin, Texas and I think that experience is the closest I’ll ever get to seeing God. Absolutely beautiful.
I was there too that night, special night and special song!
After all these years Roland still has the most enchanting voice, still so much power left to give I'm so glad they've brought out another album #tearsforfearsfan!!
This song deserves to be heard by everyone in the whole world. I'm in Argentina and it seems that no radio knows it even exists... Don't know what happens in the rest of the world, but I guess, it's surely the same. A real mistery.😢
Igual, no saben ya de música, el latinoamérica sólo se escucha ...y😢 los jóvenes y hasta adultos prefieren reguetón😮😢😢😢. Nada que ver con esta hermosa melodí❤
I haven't listened to the radio in a while. But here in Brazil, songs like this are only played on some specific radio stations. Most radio stations here only play current trends, or popular genres here, funk, country music, trap, among others. Such a gem, because it is not up to current market standards, remains hidden amidst the noise of fads. In the face of everything that explodes in this increasingly confusing market, this music simply does not exist.
@@AnaPaulaSOficial de 99
Entire album Grammy award-worthy masterpiece.
This is a stunner indeed, Women in Chains vibe all over it.
This has to be the next single
Way better than anything Sheeran or Capaldi will ever do!
The LORD is full of mercy ! HE is the living water . Out from HIM there are rivers of living waters . Hope you are in JESUS. I continue praying for you
This is my Song of the Year. The most emotionally bare Roland has been in more than 30 years. An exquisite punch in the gut.
The center piece of the album. Everything else flows around this track.
Masterpiece. This song is flawless...Tears for fears is back.
Welcome back Tears for Fears and what a Masterpiece of an Album👍🥂🥂🥂🥂🇨🇭❤🇨🇭❤🇨🇭❤
So calming, you just can not listen to this song and not unwind, just sublime.
With the release of this masterpiece of an album, the world has suddenly become a much better place.
After being on a long journey, Tears for Fears, by releasing this majestic album, say welcome home. I've missed you Curt and Roland. Thank you for so many things.
Your music got me through tough times in college. Now, your music is healing my soul yet again.
Just saw them tonight in Denver and it was the first time I heard this song. I literally broke down in tears - and I can't even tell you why. It's just beautiful.
Theres a beautiful Peter Gabriel Mercy Street vibe going on here. And I mean that as a huge compliment. Goosebumps galore. Beautiful song. My fave on the album.
Oooh! This has the lush velvety sound of Woman in Chains! I love it!
