A beautiful and unexpected take on the musician's memoir, one that could only come from cofounder, guitarist, and songwriter of Tears For Fears, Roland Orzabal."The story of a musician and songwriter who helped define the 1980s . . . Orzabal is singularly charming . . . Poignant dispatches from the mad world of stardom."-Kirkus Reviews"Being an older artist makes more sense to me than being a young one, when I was never particularly comfortable. There is something that sits more easily as we speak from experience, from the perspective of lives that have been lived, and not just a theory of how to live."In WELCOME TO YOUR LIFE: Love, Death, and Tears For Fears (Dey Street Books, on sale 8/4/26), Roland Orzabal-cofounder, singer and songwriter of the legendary band Tears For Fears-delivers a deeply personal and unconventional memoir, as he reflects on a life full of triumphs and tragedies.In the wake of the punk explosion and at the dawn of New Wave, Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, both of Bath, England, came together to form Tears For Fears. Bonded by a shared disillusionment with modern life, damaged childhoods, and a fascination with Arthur Janov's Primal Scream therapy, they created a distinctive sound that resonated widely. Their early success on the UK charts was followed by worldwide fame fueled by the hits on their breakthrough album Songs from the Big Chair. Though dominating the American airwaves was a dream realized, the strain of the spotlight proved challenging, and Orzabal shares his struggles on these pages with a refreshing honesty that readers will relate to in the same way they connect with the band's songs.As Orzabal writes, "It seems that Tears For Fears cannot produce their best work without a lot of suffering. And perhaps that is the point of the band, to say to people, this is how we feel inside, and what you feel is perfectly normal and understandable under the circumstances." For fans who have always felt seen by Tears For Fears' music, this is the intimate conversation they have long awaited.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   Who was the first person to gain access to the success of beat boxing?  Plus…our bodies are musical instruments right?  What other parts having made it into hit songs?   I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…

I thought the turnover in radio was horribly out of control. Retail is a nightmare. Plus...you can't hide a fart. People will hit what they think is a private lane in a store and totally gas the sky never realizing its going to hit the rest of us on the other side. Then those moments you realize you work for real asses.

I'm so guilty for standing up for what I believe is a bad manager mistreating coworkers.  I am wrong or right for having a voice?  Is it leadership on their behalf to be a bully on the workplace front?  Plus are we wearing our underwear too tight?  Should we go commando?

The book asks such questions as: What can America’s 75th year in 1851 teach us about its 250th in 2026? Where do the similarities lie, and how does that earlier moment illuminate the present? Epic, richly cinematic, the book is: loosely based on the Starbucks - who were one of the founding families of Nantucket…and inspired by historical events – including the maiden voyage of the famous 1851 Boston-built Flying Cloud ship which sailed from New York to San Francisco in a groundbreaking 89 days and 21 hours. A page-turning adventure following Nantucket 18 year old, Winifred, daughter of renowned merchant captains Nell and Peter Starbuck, who longs to join her parents on their final voyage to China in 1851. Forbidden from the journey, Winnie takes matters into her own hands and stows away with them, sailing straight into danger and deception to confront a family secret that could change everything. For lovers of historical fiction, maritime adventure, and richly layered storytelling, readers will be prompted to reflect on the forces that shaped our nation’s rise — and the cost of that ascent.
