It’s about the pain of growing up, the pain of not being understood, the pain of feeling different. It’s also about the hope of healing, the hope of finding a way out of the hurting. It’s an album that we poured our hearts and souls into, and we’re very proud of it." (Roland Orzabal, in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, 1984) "The Hurting was a very cathartic album for us. It was like a therapy session, where we got to express all the emotions that we had bottled up inside. It was also a very experimental album, where we tried different sounds and styles, and we learned a lot from working with Chris Hughes and Ross Cullum, who produced it. It was a very important album for us, because it established our identity as a band, and it resonated with a lot of people who felt the same way as we did."
