Eurythmics why song

The Eurythmics released their first album in entitled In The Garden. The album flew mostly under the radar. The album was released in The duo of Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart had not released a new studio album together in ten years. We felt pretty good about it in the United States too.

The song reached all the way to the number eleven position on the UK music charts. The film was based on the legendary George Orwell novel The soundtrack album was titled For the Love of Big Brother. This was easily one of the best albums the Eurythmics had ever released. It was also a top 10 hit album in the United States. Every song on this record was great. The song was actually released before the record had come out.

It was The Eurythmics third highest charting single of their career in the UK. The song did not do as well in the United States, but still managed a respectable charting at number twenty one. The song was originally released as the first single from the album. The song did not do well when it was first released as the masses had not yet discovered the Eurythmics. By the time the Eurythmics had released their fifth studio album in , it seemed the duo were on a such a roll that everything they released would go gold.

The talent level between Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart was just off the charts. The song was the least successful of the four singles released from the album in the UK. The fourth album by the Eurythmics was a star studded event as the duo branched out utilizing more musicians on record than they had ever done before. Not only was the song a number one hit for Eurythmics, it greatly influenced the sound of records at the time.

People took notice. Instead of being hindered by any restriction, one can perceive it as a puzzle to be solved. Back in , making a record at this level in a little home studio was impossible. But not for Dave and Annie, for whom doing the impossible always seemed possible.

And fun. Dave met Annie when she was the waitress at a health food store. Love ensued and they became a couple. Together they joined The Tourists, a band with Peet Coombes. When that band broke up, they did too. But never did they consider breaking up as musical partners. It all began with this song. But if I look back to where the two of us were and how this song came to life, it was nothing sort of a miracle. Annie and I had been living together for about three or four years before Eurythmics.

We had been through so much—from living in a squat for a number of years with absolutely nothing to eventually getting a recording and publishing deal that, in fact, was for a different band completely called The Tourists. We had some success and did hundreds of live performances all over the world.

Then Annie and I broke up. But when we broke up as a couple for some strange reason it was like we were always going to be together, no matter what. She truly is one of the greatest singers of all time. This was originally a track by The Lover Speaks in Annie ended up covering it on her covers album Medusa in , reaching number two in the UK.

Asked why she chose to cover the song, she told The Independent : "When the song was released it made a mild murmur in the charts, but I don't think it ever really became a hit.

There are quite a few songs floating around which should have touched the consciousness of the nation - they should have made their mark, and this is one of them. The lyrics are extraordinary, poetic and abstract - the perfect sort of vehicle for me. Annie released this as the first single from her album Songs of Mass Destruction. It became the first single to have its video premiere on Amazon.

Taken from Eurythmics' third album Touch , this electronic pop track reflected David Stewart's melancholic songwriting. And capturing that in kind of oblique statements and sentiments. This ballad was taken from her debut album Diva , and she later revealed that it was a personal song about going solo.

She wasn't sure that she could write songs by herself without David A Stewart, or what her next step will be. It took her about 10 minutes to write. Its video was based on the movie Dangerous Liaisons , with elaborate costumes inspired by the film. Actor John Malkovich, who starred in the movie, also appeared in the video, along with Hugh Laurie. Eurythmics released this from their fifth album Be Yourself Tonight in , reaching number one in the UK.
