Everybody Loves A Happy Ending is the majestic new album from Tears For Fears. The record was released in the United States on September 14 and features twelve stunning new songs from the recently reunited Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith. A European/UK release followed on March 7, 2005. The sound of the record hearkens back to the Beatlesque overtones of Roland & Curt's last joint LP, The Seeds Of Love. If 'Sowing The Seeds Of Love' was an unabashed John Lennon tribute, much of this album exhibits the influence of Paul McCartney. Because McCartney is, of course, the new Lennon. "When you have an album called 'Everybody Loves a Happy Ending,' you're just asking for McCartney to walk into the room and start playing some sort of music on the piano."  -Roland Orzabal
