"Tears Run Rings" is a 1988 song by English musician Marc Almond from his 1988 album The Stars We Are. Some early pressings of the 12" single were red.[2] These pressings were released in 1987 as opposed to the regular 1988 release of the single. The song has been considered Almond's most overtly political song he released.[3] As a solo artist, it was his only song to chart in the United States, reaching number 67 in early 1989.[4] Despite this, the song was popular in Europe and charted in a few European countries. A re-release of The Stars We Are included a DVD featuring both music videos for "Tears Run Rings", one for the UK and one for the US.[5]
