}} "Suffer the Children" is a song by the British band Tears for Fears. Written and sung by Roland Orzabal and released in November 1981, it was the band's first release, recorded in Bath, England shortly after the break-up of Orzabal and Curt Smith's previous band Graduate. The song would eventually be re-recorded for inclusion on Tears for Fears' debut LP ''The Hurting'' (1983). ==Origins and production== Along with "Pale Shelter", "Suffer the Children" was one of two demo songs that landed Tears for Fears their first record deal with Phonogram in 1981. The song's title bears resemblance to a passage in the Biblical book of Matthew (19:14), in which Jesus Christ teaches on the innocence of children. According to Orzabal: The song was later re-recorded by producers Chris Hughes and Ross Cullum for inclusion on the band's debut album ''The Hurting'' in 1983. This recording is distinct from the original 7" version by the subtraction of an extra Curt Smith-sung lyric at the beginning of the song. Both the original version and re-recording of the song notably feature Orzabal's wife Caroline on a "child vocal" during the bridge.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Suffer the Children (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
