"Advice for the Young at Heart" is a song by the British band Tears for Fears, taken from their 1989 album The Seeds of Love. It was released as the third single from the album in February 1990.
The song was written by Roland Orzabal and keyboardist/singer Nicky Holland. The lead vocal was sung by Curt Smith (the only track on the whole The Seeds of Love album that he sang lead vocals on).
The song was a Top 40 hit in the UK (#36), France (#31), Canada (#25) and The Netherlands (#22), and a Top 20 hit in Ireland (#15). In 1992, when Tears for Fears released Tears Roll Down (Greatest Hits 82-92), "Advice for the Young at Heart" was re-released in Brazil.
The video for the song was filmed in Florida and was directed by Andy Morahan. It features a Latin-American wedding interspersed with shots of the band performing.
