RE: The Producer's Toolbox - Why do ''pop'' songs sound so full? - Some production analysis.
Oooh.. I love Tears for fears... actually Lorde has a very cinematic style to all of her productions.. like dark... and moody... actually her productions are top notch.. There is a very good game on how to play with expectations and buildups and cinematic elements.. I would have to sit and listen to it.. many many times to pick all the elements.. but.. I can assure you there is a MASSIVE amount of elements coming in an out...
On the Tears for Fears version.. it is actually a reference for production.. as those guys are pioneers on many many elements and synth sounds.. so studying the original one is a GREAT idea.. and you know what is cool on that one .. The Multi track is online!

If you check it out you will find some nice surprises .. trust me ;)
Thank you so much, I was checking the stems, sometimes I use Acapella of a singer to produce a new remix like this one :

but this was a short time production like only 2 days, I sometimes like to add new notes and even different chords to the song. for example adding a middle part which is separated.
sorry I didn't mean to advertise my work here :D,
I liked both versions , 90's music is always the best, I love most of the bands from back then.
I think Lorde couldn't made that song's cover good, if there was not that production behind it :D , but its became good and in my idea I can say that music production is really great.
