The important thing to remember about trailblazers like Annie Lennox - nothing had ever sounded like this (or looked like this) before. Others have copied - she's an original.
I would hate to cuss but fuck yeah
Definitely. Even the use of a computer was a novel thing at that time.
@@kirke420 we didnt have home computers when this came out
@j v
First home computer: 1977
Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams: 1983
Who is we?

Freddie Mercury loved Annie Lennox, and so did David Bowie. Enough said. :)
The same Freddie Mercury that played Sun City during apartheid? Yeah, fuck that guy.
When Freddie was inducted in the Rock and Roll HOF, Annie did the part of Freddie with Bowie on Under Pressure
@@MattSingh1 I bet you're fun at parties, Matt. lol
@@MattSingh1 Your comment shows you know dick about music and to say what you said about probably the greatest all-time frontman in music history , tells all of us a lot about what kind of person you really are ......
Matthew Singh-Dosanjh looks at South Africa now what a law abiding place it is now.. Some of the highest murder and rape rate in the world
Anne Lennox has an amazing voice. She has a great song, it's called "Walking on Broken Glass".
Second that. Also (by Eurythmics), check out Thorn in My Side, Love is a Stranger and Here Comes the Rain Again
LOVE 'Walking on Broken Glass'!!!
"No more i love yous" Is another great song by her
@@aliciamercado357 "No more i love you's" isn't her song. The original was recorded by The Lover Speaks. Her version is AMAZING anyway. ¡Saludos!
I love "There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart)". The song of my childhood ♥♥♥
When I was a teenager I thought she was the hottest woman on the planet. Bless my little punker soul.
I LOVED her look. She was BADASS!
she has pretty perfect features, eyes nose, mouth teeth
Maybe not the hottest on the planet, but she is a very beautiful woman.
Beautiful Lady, was then and still is now....
Her and Laurie Anderson. Something about a woman in a suit, who cuts her hair in the dark (just start talking on the phone, don't really pay attention to what you're doing).
LOL I saw them interviewed once. When asked why there were cows, she literally said: "To make people ask, why the hell are there cows". LOL XD
In other interviews Eurythmics said the cows represent Nature, which stays the same, its humans that want to change everything, always "looking for something". Dave said he wanted people to remember the videos that's why he put the cows in. It was his idea.
@@ibosquez5238 every time you pass a field with cows, at least one person in the car points and goes "cows" lol it makes sense
@@arandachristine
Yeah, I think Dave had a good idea.
I thought the cows were there to play the cow bells.🐄
Omg Annie is not wierd,it was the early 80s when music videos were all the rage ,you know mtv was only like four years old at the time of this video. Annie Lennox has one of the most beautiful voices still to this day. There are alot of suggestions in your comments and all of them are great choices so I won't repeat....but Marilyn Manson does not do a better version of this song .....♡
Connie Leighton M Manson doesn't do better anything.
@@chrisrutherford3 lol totally agree ! ....♡
If anything he made it creepy
facts Manson is talented for sure...but he butchers the songs he sings
Man, the '80s were a great time for music videos.😄
And for music IN GENERAL!
So true. It was still early in music videos. Everyone had on Clothes.
The one and only Annie Lennox, God I love this woman's voice!
She sounds great in this, but if you really want to see what she's capable of check out here solo work. Things like "Why", which is just amazing. She has one of the most wonderful set of pipes in the biz.
I think that was her best song by far
I agree.
She has the same quality of vocals an Ann Wilson and Pat Benetar.
@@gregjames9875 Old Benetar, maybe. Haven't heard anything recent, so I can't say. Annie definitely has more emotional range than Benetar. Wilson is closer, but I think Lennox beats her out, too. My older brother would disagree, he's a huge Ann Wilson fan.
Why do you people alway make a championship of everything? Just sit back, relax, listen and enjoy.
This song reminds me of my grandma. When this came out, my grandma was in her 70's. She came over and was talking about liking that new "cream cheese" song. Had no idea what she was talking about. Anyways, a few weeks later, she was over and this song was on my radio and she started singing "cream cheese is made of these". We had a good chuckle when I told her what they were saying. So now every time I hear this, or use cream cheese, it brings back warm memories of her and still brings a smile to my face.
Lol just like a grandma... so funny !
That is too funnnny!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for the memories.......
That's sweet...
Lol at grandma...bless...now that's a fond memory for keeps.
Maybe she saw the video and thought that explained the cow!
The Eurythmics had a lot of hits, including Here Comes The Rain Again, Missionary Man. One largely forgotten song was a feminist themed collaboration with Aretha Franklin = Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves
Not to forget "Would I Lie To You"
"Who's that Girl"
Largely forgotten? Where do you live, Jerry? The moon?
That song was HUGE.
@@SpaceCattttt It was huge 33 years ago when it was released. An entire generation has been born, grown up, and having children since then. If people were asked to list Eurythmics or Aretha songs, how many would remember it? "Forgotten" does not refer to 33 years ago. It refers to today.
@@jerryjohnson3413 Good songs are never forgotten. Well, perhaps they are by today's idiots, but they don't count.
You’ve got to listen to her singing with Aretha Franklin. Sisters are doing it for themselves!
"Lets shoot it in a field of cows!"
"Brilliant idea!"
^The 80's
Anne Lennox also did the "Into the West" from Lord of the Rings.
Makes me cry every time I listen to it
@@robinc7709 Same. Glad someone else said this. I'm a big Eurythmics and Annie Lennox fan but I'd not heard this till coming back on a long flight from holiday. I'm not into the Lord Of The Rings films. I found it on the airlines music entertainment section. Put it on and not sure if it was tiredness or jet lag but I was a wreck after listening to it. It still has the same effect now.
Im so glad to reviewed the Eurythmics! Try Would I Lie To You - it’s awesome!
Amazing song
Yes! Annie Lennox vocalizes in this song but, she really cuts loose in "Would I Lie to You".
Would I lie to you honey? Hahah 😉
I still sing that
One of the greatest, purest voices in music.
Subscribed to people randomly you're one of them. (:
Loved the Eurythmics! Annie Lennox has some bad jams as a solo artist. Her voice is one in a million unique!
Hey it's the 75 year old grandma, talking to you for the last time as the 75 year old grandma as I turn 76 years old tomorrow Dec 29th. just saying, anyway if you want to see a great music video, with a great song listen to and watch "take on me" by Ah Ha , it was one of the first music videos made back in the day and received awards, I think you would love it, it's one of my favorites.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARLA JEAN GILLILAND!!!!!!!!! AND MAY YPU HAVE MANY MANY MANY MORE(with your marbles intact!!!🌹☺🎉🎆😉😀🎉🎆🎉🎆🎉🎆🎉🎆🎉🎆✝)
+Carla Jean Gilliland A belated Happy Birthday, greetings and blessings from Germany! "Take on me" is an excellent choice :-)!
@@robertheilmeier2671 Thank you my family is from Germany, my Grandmother Sophia Kenifel Not sure I spelled that right) came to the USA an an immegrent around 1903 or so, and Married my Grandfather John Schabert. I should do a family history some time, and again thanks for the Birthday wishes.
+@@carlajeangilliland70 You are most welcome, thanks for your answer! I assume that the correct spelling might be "Kneifel", that´s a rather seldom albeit very German family name. .:-) On a side note, I have relatives in the US, my aunt emigrated there after she had met her future husband in Munich in the early 60s and she once told me that she accidentally could find quite a lot of hitherto unknown information about our family history in the archives of the Mormons (I guess in Salt Lake City) Apparently you can access these archives without being a Mormon themselve, so this might be a possible source of information for you as well. Best wishes again :-)
PS Your grandmothers family name would be pronounced as "Kn" ( the "K" is sounded), follow by the same sound as the famous "Eifel" tower in Paris
My son graduated Berklee college of Music in Boston in 2013. Annie Lenox..the singer to the Eurithmix shook his hand as he recieved his degree. She gave a wonderful speech telling all about her life. It was a great listen..her speech is on youtube...Berklee 2013 Annie Lenox
Whaatt?? That is an amazing memory. Lucky guy?
I had just left San Francisco when this came out. New Wave was all the rage there and I immediately loved it. “Here Comes the Rain Again” and “Would I Lie to You” are good ones, too.
San Francisco in 1984! Fun, fun, fun (for a 23 year old gay man). Still live in NorCal, but rarely go there now. Its just not the same - totally different vibe.
Annie used to scare the life out of me, she was freaky with those icy eyes and that flaming hair.
But nowadays I see what a beautiful woman she actually is.
The Eurythmics were the real deal back in the early 80’s. Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart were among the early pioneers of the British New Wave movement and many of their early recordings were made in Dave Stewart’s basement. This might look a bit odd today but back then these guys were pretty cutting edge.
"Revival" and definitely the duet with David Bowie memorializing Freddy Mercury singing "Under Pressure". Gut-wrenching
For those of you who are Lord of the Rings fans you may remember this: "In 2004, she won both the Golden Globe and the Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Into the West", written for the soundtrack to the feature film The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King." I took this from Annie Lennox Wikipedia page.
That's such an amazing, understated song. Love it!
She just turned 64 on Christmas!
2 days before me 27.12 54.
I thought that, my friend until........I suddenly realised, ridiculously, that, I,also, am 64 years old and I,literally, continually, forget that. lol
I have been single all my life and have known 3 Ladies who I habe, regularly, seen for most weeks all for around 20 years now and they are 40,40 and 38 respectively so, maybe, that is why I feel great,stimulated and youthful..lmao...@ .@PurelyAfrican
Annie Lennox and I share the same birthday 12/25/1954. She is one of my all time favorite vocalists. She has a powerful voice. Agree that Why is one of her best.
Time of my adolescent days. Total hit from the 80s. Love it for ever!!! Annie Lennox's voice is AWESOME!!!!!!
the voice of annie lennox is that of angels singing. maybe not about what you wish they were singing, but still. lol. she's THAT GOOD.
Annie Lennox is a goddess.
There are SO many of her songs I could recommend. But Why is my favorite.
Reminds me of the line;
"Adrian, don't you understand?
Fools like us are always dreaming..."
corvus13 the video too! Never had been putting on make-up been so poignant.
She was the lead singer for the group The Tourists prior to this. They had a minor hit called I Only Wanna be with you. its on RUclips
Annie Lennox is an awesome singer
Annie lennox is a very underrated singer. Check out her and David Bowie doing "Under pressure" live for the Freddie Mercury memorial, it's amazing.
Go and listen to there must be an angel by the eurythmics it's fantastic ,Stevie wonder played the harmonica on it .
Good call...
LOVE THIS!!! It’s one of those songs that just PULLS YOU IN and you can’t stop listening!!!
Very 80s. I miss the old MTV days when videos were blossoming genre. It is my understanding that the shot with Dave looking into the cow's eye was a complete happy accident.
This came out when I was in school. Someone covered this, and it seems like it could be Marilyn Manson, but not sure.
Yeah, MM had a cover of it that kicks butt (but like the joke went, .... "Hey Manson, Satan called. He wants you to stop making videos. They're giving him nightmares.") =)
It was Marilyn Manson and in my unimportant opinion he did a terrible cover version.
@@jameskirschling7887 I wouldn't call terrible it just VERY different I don't mind the cover
@@aarontodd72 ok, I'll agree that it is VERY different. True, just because I don't like it doesn't mean it's terrible, everyone has their own types of music they like.
Emily Browning also covered the song for the movie sucker punch
Annie Lennox is the lead singer and she has a incredible voice...she is just kinda weird!!
Was just going to say the same thing 😊
Nothing wrong with weird
She's not weird. She's Scottish.
She has talent, money, and is from the UK so she is eccentric, weird is only for poor nobodies.
Think it was the guys suit that threw Americans off. It was a first
80s videos were like Picasso's paintings. Think about it.
'There Must be An Angel' is one of her best vocal performances - you need to listen to that and try and not get chills
MTV was only 2 years old when this was released. This was a new medium and we loved it. Annie Lennox does have a fabulous voice.
“Love is a Stranger” is one of my favourite songs of all time. Her voice is part of my DNA at this point. Has been since I was 14. ❤️✌️
"Love is a stranger" is there best!
Eurythmics, they were so good. Me and my friends all were hardcore heavy metal fan in the 80's, but we all loved Eurythmics.
Her voice is positively blessed. Check her video into the west from return of the king. One of the prettiest songs ever
I get absolute chills when I listen to that. It's such a beautiful song.
@@EMTinVA caught me off guard the first time I heard it and I had a bit of a meltdown. It's good for those gray days when you need to siphon off some grief.
Annie Lennox is a graduate of the Royal academy of music in London. As was her classmate Freddy Mercury from Queen!
If you get your music discovery from a movie most times,then whatever way is a good way.
I'm old school,i learned about great music from my record collection and attending hundreds of concerts.
I consider myself very fortunate to be a child of the 60's and soaking up all this musical culture from the greatest era ever.
Annie has an amazing voice! Not to mention, she is a drop-dead BABE! Check out her CD Medusa, cover tracks, but all good ones. She does "Whiter Shade of Pale" which is awesome!
She had number 1 hit with Areatha. Franklin get it
Annie Lennox is an amazing singer. Can't go wrong with anything she did. Check out the Diva album.
I have always loved Annie, she has an amazing voice and is the heart and soul of Eurythmics, they were one of my favorite groups and Annie was the reason why.
One of my favorite 80' group..Annie Lennox had an incredible solo career as well
It’s like he’s watching a really good horror film and he can’t turn away, LOL
My idols ever since 1984 Love Love them❤️❤️❤️
Infinitely better than Marilyn Manson's remake. Love the artistic slant to this video, cows and all.
I really enjoy your channell. I love watching you discover the music I loved for thirty years. Keep venturing outside of your box!
When I first heard this song back when it was released in the 80s, as soon as I heard that riff on the pump organ, I turned to my wife and said, "Whatever that is, it will be a smash hit. Who the fuck is that??" - From the opening riff!
Annie Lennox has an incredible voice; always did. This was the first hit of The Eurythmics, the New Wave duo she was a part of in the 80s. And it was a monster hit. The guy in the video is her partner, collaborator and one-time boyfriend, Dave Stewart. He ended up becoming a world-famous music producer.
I love this song....i do a badass kareoke of this...its a fun song. Annie Lennox... Ooo those eyes. Good choice bro✌
You are one courageous man to watch this music video, and to react to it. I remember watching this music video on MTV in late-January, 1983. It shocked the hell out of me. I thought to myself, "My God, this is Satan himself in this music video!!!" I was a big fan of Kraftwerk, and their Techno-Pop music, and Eurythmics recorded their own style of Techno-Pop that appealed to me. I bought the album of the same name, and I have been a Eurythmics/Annie Lennox fan ever since.
Love this song. One of my favorite 80s tunes.
This is one of those songs I knew was going to become one of my favorites within the first few bars. As soon as that funky-ass synth bass started, I was looking around at people, ARE YOU HEARING THIS?
Annie Lennox only comes after Karen Carpenter in fabulous (white) female voices. And she's a lovely, lovely woman.
Annie has an amazing voice and she was a trailblazer.
Annie Lennox is Magical...one of the best voices of our age! If you want to hear one of her most HAUNTING pieces, check out "LOVE SONG FOR A VAMPIRE", from Francis Ford Coppola's "DRACULA"...
I have never liked watching music videos because I don't like some else's idea's popping into my head . I have found that I enjoy watching you react to them. I am 66 and I love most styles and types of music. I look forward to you viewing some of the current music.Happy and Healthy New Year from Michigan
She has always made fun music love her ....Thanks for sharing
Always amazes me that when she sings, it is in perfect English.
Yet when she speaks she has this Scottish brogue, and yes as someone else commented, she has some of the best pipes in the business.
The era being 1983-1984. My dad especially liked this song. MTV years this one. They had a very distinct sound even on radio. Another grade school memory lane song from the summer of first grade. 80's kids got exposed to lots of 60's, 70's, and whatever was going on in the 80's.
She used to sell Haägen Dasz ice cream in London's city centre. She was a born ice cream seller, but switched in time to music. Listen to her songwriter Dave Stewart ('In this little town') and his duet with Candy Dulfer, instrumental, Candy on sax)
I was thrown for a loop when I first saw this back in the day... had to
run out and get it!! Still love the bit with the *cellos* ! Annie Lennox
is such an enigma in this video! Beautiful, authoritative, and surreal!
yeah man those cats were out there. they had a bunch of hits.
you gotta remember that was the dawn of MTV. the videos were WAY out there sometimes.
Once again as a GenXer I cannot emphasize enough how enigmatic this video was to us at the time. MTV was new and all videos were either weird or cheesy - or, God forbid, both. This o e was weird and cool and the androgynous look that Annie Lennox was rocking just clicked.
I wonder what he'd think of Boy George and Culture Club or any of the rock bands who had the big hair and make up (Motley Crue and Poison especially).
They make a point. This world is for the purpose of remembering who you are and bringing that knowing in to your creations. The polarity and contrast will push you toward what you want. Some people experience oppression to realize how precious freedom is and when they've had enough they will change it.
MRM, you have opened up a can of worms here, Annie Lenox voice is awesome and still is today but her partner here, Dave Stewart is an INCREDIBLE guitarist, please check out some very recent work of his from the Stewart-lindsey album, Another lie, another voice he discovered Mr. Lindsey is incredibly unique and old school, other recordings on it are equally as impressive.
Thanks again for your reactions.
GOD BLESS.
The 80's was truly an amazing decade for music and movies! Almost everything was originals and unique! I think it was the golden age... entertainment wise. I will be forever thankful that I grew up when MTV only played music videos!
When the video for Michael Jackson's Thriller came out? That was such a huge deal! With just enough rumored controversial about that my parents said no way. I snuck down one morning around 4am to secretly watch...I just realized my parents never found out. To this day. How about that?
You really need to listen to more of the songs by this group
her partner is Dave Stewart, look up a song by candi dulfer and him (live version) its called "lily was here" amazing tune.
This is very representative of a number of 80s music videos. When I was a kid, Annie Lennox was a very popular singer with the Eurythmics.
Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart were in another band called Tourist. They were on tour here in Australia and they didn't like the way their careers were going. The two got to talking in a hotel room in a small country town called Wagga Wagga (here in NSW) and decided to form another band - which became Eurythmics - so it can be said that this band was founded in Australia!
You should do "Let Forever Be" by The Chemical Brothers
Ty-man....take a listen to her in "there must be an angel"....fantastic vocals and the great Stevie Wonder lends awesome harmonica
Annie can express so much with just a look.
She did a solo album in 96 called Medusa. All covers of songs that shaped her. It's eclectic and wonderful and shows her remarkable range.
I'm surprised and not surprised at the same time. I'm not surprised in the sense that it was a massive song, nearly every person on the planet has heard the song but I'm really surprised you haven't heard previous artists and songs from the 80s who were massive.
Eurythmics had that dark, synthpop sound and image but I was pleasantly surprised with their pop output too with songs like 'Would I lie to you'. Even as a person born in the 90s, they were inescapable on the radio!
So many wonderful Annie Lennox performances to choose from. I think her appearance at the 25th Anniversary of the Arista Records is one to definitely listen to. type in 'Annie Lennox Why Live 2000'.
I'm normally in tears by the time she sings 'This boat is sinking'.
I knew there was no way in the world you could have escaped that song. It happens every year - a song that is everywhere: think Mmmbop, Two Princes, Uptown Funk or Despacito.
There is nowhere to hide.
BTW, you should hear Annie Lennox sing "There Must be an Angel".
That song was originally just a jam session and sound check. That's why it's so repetitive. Sound guy liked it and played it to label people who loved it and the rest is history.
I met Annie Lenox about 35 maybe 40 years ago just after thus song came out. She is a delightful kind wonderful woman and very accommodating to me as a 10 year old pestering kid.
Another catchy song with an odd video (I say "catchy" because it's been playing in my head all night) is "Kryptonite" by 3 Doors Down.
We have an elderly super hero striving to rescue a young lady who's being abused by an apparent boyfriend. He "chases" them all over town, in the way an elderly man would, and they somehow end up in a bar for retired super heroes and villains. I like the song and I find myself rooting for the old super dude.
This was absolutely the biggest hit of the year when it came out, absolutely of its time.
Annie Lennox is a legend. For me she's like the female version of Sting. A pathfinder - all others follow. Maybe since her first video I couldn't forget her. That smile is like a riddle: it seems genuine, but the eyes are often ominous, and I don't know what she's up to next. Whatever she is, she's not boring.
Annie Lennox...one of the best female voices. Just saw her sing with Sting on his birthday celebration concert. Wonderful!
Annie Lennox is truly awesome - along with her make up and outfits. Check her out performing with David Bowie in a tribute concert for Freddie Mercury at Wembley Stadium - starting out with Queen's "Under Pressure" . She has extraordinary makeup and dress and David Bowie is in a great mint green suit. Great performance!
I was in... um... awe with Annie Lennox from the first time I saw her! She has one of those voices that just grabs you!
You should really listen to Anne Lennox’s solo work. “Walking On Broken Glass”, and most especially “Why”.
And must be talking to an angel x
The first time I ever heard this was on a Friday night after 8a.m. -2 p.m. at college and 3 to about midnight at work, managing a restaurant. I turned on TBS- a program called Night Flicks- a MTV ish thing. Same old squeaky voiced lead singer. I headed for the shower and suddenly this amazing voice came out of my TV! Oh. My. Gosh! Gorgeous, deep, rich Alto. So rare for a lead singer back then. I was so taken with the voice that I was halfway through the video before I wondered what the he** was going on. Still love sweet Annie. Still have no clue what was going on. Oh by the way, I'm an Alto so I might be a little biased. Nah. She rocks. She sings the song they play over the closing credits on Return of the King.
It was Night Trax! Lot of water under the bridge sweetie.😁
Annie is classically trained as an Opera Singer, was so easy for her to do pop/rock music
The combi of an operasinger and a heavymetal guitarist - awesome. I don't like heavy metal, but of this song I bought the record with this number on. wierd but enchanting.
Annie Lennox is my favorite female singer--has been since the 80s. That is one soulful Scottish(?) sistuh, right there. Love her voice. It's so sultry. So many good songs she sings on both with Eurythmics and solo. I would recommend you take a listen to "No More I Love You's". That song was sampled on a Nikki Minaj song a few years back but the original is beautiful.
Excellent
This Song was massive in Britain
Classic Song ❤😀
Good track, they had two that I like! Check out Yes "Sweet Dreams", "Then", "Looking Around" and "Time And A Word"!
One of the top 5 80s pop songs. Iconic visuals. Vocals, production.
