Aeroplane (album)

Aeroplane is the second solo album released by Curt Smith, member of the British pop band Tears for Fears.

It was released in two versions, a 14-song (15 if you count the hidden track) version in 1999 in Canada through the Sour Music label, and a 6-song EP in 2000 on Smith's own Zerodisc label. The Canadian version contains songs that were originally on the 1998 self-titled album from the band Mayfield (of which Smith was a member). The US release consisted mostly of songs from the Canadian release not found on the Mayfield album. It also contains two versions of Tears for Fears songs, "Pale Shelter" in a more rock mood and a live acoustic rendition of "Everybody Wants to Rule the World".
