    "comment": "In an interview, Roland Orzabal described the piece as “a simple song about protest.” He goes on to say, “I had the chorus to ‘Shout’ and I had a rhythm which was stolen from a Talking Heads track from off ‘Remain in Light.'\n\nThe lyrics were inspired by primal therapy, a psychotherapy method created by Dr. Arthur Janov. Its general concept suggests that a patient can conquer early life trauma by reenacting the scene through unrestrained screaming.\n\nEnjoy the official music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye7FKc1JQe4",
