Both Eurythmics & Depeche Mode were part of the electronic synth pop movement in the first half of the 1980's, along with Ultravox, Human League, Tears For Fears & Simple Minds-not exhaustive, but they were the really big ones.
Don't forget Duran Duran. They were HUGE. It's said they achieved levels of fame similar to Beatlemania.😉 Oh and Arcadia! Mid 80s, but still synth-pop/art rock. That was something short lived, totally studio based, but special. One of my personal favs. There was some really good music in the 80s. So unique to it's decade.
@@paultaylor9498 Literally have synths in every song in the 80s, literally find it under synth-pop genre. Literally have full synth songs. Literally credited with being the first to incorporate dance beats into synth-pop. Did I say literally? Like literally.
@@paultaylor9498 Not my label-they were part of the synth pop movement. In case you hadn't noticed Eurythmics, Depeche Mode, OMD, Ultravox etc all used other instruments. Being dubbed Synth Pop didn't mean you could only play synths-even Kraftwerk who inspired these bands didn't do that.
I'd add "No More 'I Love Yous'" to the list of solo Annie Lennox songs. Thanks for the fun reaction; this song has been a favorite of mine since it debuted.
Hey Biss, since you love Annies voice, your next song must be "There must be an Angel". It's absolutely fabulous & you'll be humming the intro for the next 20+ years. Eurythmics & Depeche Mode were 80's synthesizer led bands, what was called "New Wave" at the time.
Synth-Pop was just one part of the New Wave era. Everything that was NOT mainstream album oriented rock, progressive rock and heavy metal found a home on the radio stations playing 'New Wave's music.
That genre was called Synth-Pop and it blended concepts from disco and dance, to electronic ideas from progressive artists like Pink Floyd and Yes, and a band called Kraftwerk.
I also saw them live in 84 in Melbourne Australia along with Simple Minds. One of the best concerts I’ve ever been to in my life! Saw Queen the following year at the same venue which is gone now and that is the pinnacle for me, nothing will ever beat that show!!
They were the same period. Early to mid '80s. They were part of the New Wave movement. Other bands were Human League, Soft Cell, Flock of Seagulls, ABC, Duran Duran, and of course, Culture Club.
This song came out on 1983 at the tail end of Disco and a new generation of Music as did Depeche Mode, a Great Decade of music for sure. And yes that is a Chelow in the back ground. This song is on my Top 10 list which rotates yearly but this stays on the top 10 love it.
This is the epitome of the 80's. It' a mix of disco, pop, and new wave. So many bands had a similar mix in their songs, they just didn't have Annie lenox doing vocals. Eurythmics always produced catchy melodies.
Annie Lennox sang an amazing song for The Lord of the RIngs - Return of the King end credits called 'Into the West'. One of my favorites. Another awesome reaction, Biss!🙂
Like I said on the Sweet Dreams reaction, Sweet Dreams hit like a ton of breaks. We had no idea what we were hearing, where we were, or what we were looking at. Sweet Dreams predated Depeche Mode's Violator by Seven Years. Sweet Dreams even pre-dated New Order's Blue Monday. Blue Monday actually gets more credit for having the most influence in the genre. Blue Monday does more but Sweet Dreams was there first. Here comes the rain again was the the more subdued more relatable follow up that sealed Eurythmics place in music history forever.
Crazy to think how fresh "Here comes the Rain ☔ Again" sounds...41 Years Young! Biss this is the Studio version...You already reacted to The Eurythmics performing a stripped down version...Of this! This was your introduction to Annie and Dave...Doing this Live! This one blew you away...Dave's Guitar and the Power of Annie's Voice! I think you'd love "Little Bird" 🐦 Annie Lennox...A Solo Hit! But still lots of Eurythmics Gold...To mine!
Good morning Bisscutie! Great song! Great lyrics. Eurythmics' best! Love your era chair dancing! Annie Lennox dressed as Elvis Presley at the 1984 Grammy Awards. Great to see artists show respect.
Its a cover but the passion and fire she puts into this song will curl your toes ! AND!! its live and newer.... I love me some Anne... she is a powerhouse.. Annie Lennox - I Put A Spell On You (Live 2015)
Biss I hope you're enjoying this 80's pop music! This played nonstop on MTV back in the day! Of course that was when MTV played music! Lol like I keep saying...you are an 80's girl at Heart! Thanks Biss ❤️💛
This is one of those songs you listen to that never gets old. Annie's voice is captivating and soothing! Thank you Biss for this reaction, you're the best!
Biss, 2008 American Music Awards, live, solo (just her and her piano), of her song "Why". Powerful. As a bonus, her introduction includes 5 second clips of her biggest hits before her performance. th-cam.com/video/NQQW__8sgNg/w-d-xo.html
I was 15 in 1983 when this came out. Even though they had many great songs back then, they only got 1 song to Number 1 (UK Chart) in 1985 and that was 'There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart) which featured Stevie Wonder on Harmonica 😊
🌹🌹🌹 .. hopefully you will choose "Why" .. by Annie Lennox !! If you have not yet seen it .. she joined David Bowie at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert and performed "Under Pressure" ... It is one of the best covers ever. 🎶🩷🎼
Great reaction as always one of my favorit bands from the 80's Eurythmics - love is a stranger Eurythmics - would i lie to you Also a great band from the early 80's is Yazoo - Dont go Yazoo - situation Yazoo - other side of love The lead singer is alison moyet who had a great solo carrier too
Very nice. Liking your style, Biss.. LOVE LOVE LOVE Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart. Thanks for the remembrance of this wicked cool duo. Keep em coming. Big shoutout from your hippy rocker dude, here, in the States. Peace and love to all in this channel's Fam. Peace. Later.
Many have added history and facts to this vid, and are spot on. I’ll only add a personal anecdote. There isn’t a rainy day, especially the first few each season, here in Sonoma County, CA., where I’m not singing this song to myself. It’s just a perfect opportunity to visit an old friend, and this Eurythmics track is too good to pass up. 🎶
If you want to see an amazing performance, you should check out Annie Lennox & David Bowie perfoming Under Pressure, the Queen/Bowie duet at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert at Wembly Stadium with the surviving members of Queen on instruments. If you haven't heard the original Queen/Bowie version yet, then you should definitely check that one out first.
Hello 👋 Miss Bisscute !!! Even after Disco Night Clubs were very popular threw the 80 ' S so if you could dance to it like Billy idol ( mony , mony ) ( Dancing with myself )or Enigma ( Sadness ) ( Return to innocence ) or ( Principles of Lust ) Were Highly needed 😂😂😂
Classic.. I was in 6th Grade when this was released. Memories of MTV and Casey Kasem's American Top 40. This sound, mood and video also reminded me of Paul Young's Come Back & Stay and Real Life's Send Me An Angel.
Annie Lennox, one of Scotland's best ever vocalists. She and Dave Stewart were in a band called The Tourists and had a hit with a cover of I Only Want To Be With You (1979), before forming Eurythmics. Fun fact, their regular backing vocalist live was Eddi Reader, who later sang lead for the band Fairground Attraction. I'd recommend the Eurythmics track "You Have Placed a Chill in My Heart" from a few years later. Eurythmics were an 80s band. Dave & Annie went their own ways in the 90s. Annie's debut solo album (Diva) is as amazing as you would expect. Have a listen to "Why". They have got back together a few times briefly and in 2022 were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And I do enjoy your reactions. You make me 😆
The comparison to Depeche Mode is a great one. You know it's kind of funny, I watch a lot of reaction videos and I do see a lot of reactors try to connect the dots and make assumptions about things but many times they're actually wrong but I have to give credit where it's due. With you most of the time I see you do that you actually get it right. You nailed it once again with the correlation between Eurythmics and Depeche Mode. Definitely same time period and similar sounds. In the '80s you'd be hard-pressed to find any musical artist that wasn't using some form of synth either as a primary instrument or as something in the background.
Those were the great 80's songs and artists solo or bands. I first seen this video and others on MTV. At the 5:00 mark I like your moves. Great choices once again and keep up the awesome reactions.
Biss, listen the several live versions of this song, one more fantastic than another!!! Annie is queen!!! And talking about Queen, the concert Freddie Mercury Tribute, Annie sang with David Bowie the song Under Pressure… simply amazing!!!
You hit disco right on the head. Back in those days, record companies did a study of the dance hits and found that 132 beats per minute was the optimum beat rate of those hits. I just checked this one because I had never noticed the disco aspect until you pointed it out...and guess how many beats per minute?
From what I've heard, it's a great song to go roller-skating to, at least it got played all the time at the rink. I forget the names of her solo work but she sang a song for Lord of the Rings too.
The Eurythmics and Depche Mode were, indeed, contemporaries of each others. This was during the New Wave Synthpop era. There were some elements of disco that were still lingering, but by the early 80's the term "disco" was certain death to one's career. It is still dance music though.
"Love song for a vampire" is one of my favourite Annie Lennox songs, tied probably with "Little Bird". Both well worth listening to, but little bird does a bit of a homage to her work so probably best to leave that until later and do "There must be an Angel" and "Whiter Shade of Pale" first.
Depeche Mode are an English electronic music band formed in Basildon, Essex in 1980. Originally formed with the lineup of Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, ... Discography · Exciter (Depeche Mode album) · Ultra (Depeche Mode album)
No More I Love Yous is my favorite Annie Lennox Song. The Music Video is hilarious! I have a sneaking feeling, this was the inspiration for One Piece Bon Clay. 😂
I never knew who she was (Annie Lennox) when I was younger. All I knew is, my ex girlfriend used to send me CD's in the post every month or so, with 10-15 amazing tracks on. HER favourite songs of the moment. And it was a good thing cos she was AMerican and there was a lot of great music happening over there that I'd otherwise have missed out on. Not ALL songs were to my liking but most of them were great - she had good taste. I'd become a fan of sarah mclachlan because of her, and was convinced that she was the best female vocalist since Whitney Houston. BUT THEN I heard a song on one of her CD's by Annie Lennox called "I've Tried Everything" from the Sopranos soundtrack.......
I remember when this was on the radio every 15 minutes.
I remember those 2 - 3 years as well. Such a great song, why not play it over and over and over.
So do I, and my parents had it and played it and I didn't mind at all.
Every eight minutes
I'm not a huge fan of this song, but the moment I hear it I'm 10 years old in the car on the way to back and forth to summer day camp.
Me too, 😂😂😂
Walking On Broken Glass.
Eurythmics - "WHO'S THAT GIRL" . Very cool song 😎
Both Eurythmics & Depeche Mode were part of the electronic synth pop movement in the first half of the 1980's, along with Ultravox, Human League, Tears For Fears & Simple Minds-not exhaustive, but they were the really big ones.
Don't forget Duran Duran. They were HUGE. It's said they achieved levels of fame similar to Beatlemania.😉
Oh and Arcadia! Mid 80s, but still synth-pop/art rock. That was something short lived, totally studio based, but special. One of my personal favs.
There was some really good music in the 80s. So unique to it's decade.
All of this
Was gonna add Erasure, but they only debuted in 85, after Vince Clarke had left both Depeche Mode and Yazoo.
@@paultaylor9498 Literally have synths in every song in the 80s, literally find it under synth-pop genre. Literally have full synth songs. Literally credited with being the first to incorporate dance beats into synth-pop. Did I say literally? Like literally.

Hey Biss, since you love Annies voice, your next song must be "There must be an Angel". It's absolutely fabulous & you'll be humming the intro for the next 20+ years.

Maybe in the future
Annie Lennox - Why ..... is my favourite song of her
Same 👌
Her solo album “Diva” is a masterpiece!! “Why” is the first track and a perfect place to start her solo works.☺️
THIS!! ^^^^
Ohhhh Annie Lennox, voice like no other. Beautiful.
In the 1980s, it was called New Wave, which is Synth-popnew, wavedance-rock
Synth-Pop was just one part of the New Wave era. Everything that was NOT mainstream album oriented rock, progressive rock and heavy metal found a home on the radio stations playing 'New Wave's music.
That genre was called Synth-Pop and it blended concepts from disco and dance, to electronic ideas from progressive artists like Pink Floyd and Yes, and a band called Kraftwerk.
Would I lie to you !
Yaaaaasss!
One of her best songs imo!
Absolutely
My favorite.
The one word you're looking for is CHARISMA... combined with beauty and talent.
I was privileged to see them 40 years ago in 1984, Auditorium Theater, Chicago... What an experience!. Thanks Biss...
I also saw them live in 84 in Melbourne Australia along with Simple Minds. One of the best concerts I’ve ever been to in my life! Saw Queen the following year at the same venue which is gone now and that is the pinnacle for me, nothing will ever beat that show!!
Hi Bisscute, I used to enjoy chilling and having a drink to the Eurythmics back in the day when I was bored.
Still do.....
This group is very much 80's style music, very haunting melodic.
Her solo album, 'Diva' should be in everyone's collection. Any song. I enjoy, "Little Bird." 😊
They were the same period. Early to mid '80s. They were part of the New Wave movement. Other bands were Human League, Soft Cell, Flock of Seagulls, ABC, Duran Duran, and of course, Culture Club.
Great video! Love Annie. "Why" is an amazing song by her.
This is part of the 80s "new wave" sound. It was a great transition time for music.
This song came out on 1983 at the tail end of Disco and a new generation of Music as did Depeche Mode, a Great Decade of music for sure. And yes that is a Chelow in the back ground. This song is on my Top 10 list which rotates yearly but this stays on the top 10 love it.
I saw them live once, it was wonderful. And yes, Annie Lennox has presence.
Annie Lennox is fantastic. Her eyes is magic. Great song. Thank you.🎉❤
This is the epitome of the 80's. It' a mix of disco, pop, and new wave. So many bands had a similar mix in their songs, they just didn't have Annie lenox doing vocals. Eurythmics always produced catchy melodies.
"Right By Your Side" is their best song and completely forgotten
Annie Lennox sang an amazing song for The Lord of the RIngs - Return of the King end credits called 'Into the West'. One of my favorites.
Another awesome reaction, Biss!🙂
Thank you, glad you loved the reaction
And she won an Oscar for best song for it .
Some of her best vocals are in the song "Little Bird" (Solo project)
Good to see you Biss. Great reaction, really enjoy seeing you be moved by the music. This is the era of synths and drum machines, the 80's. :)
Thank you, glad you loved the reaction
I remember when this video came out....MTV had it on every hour no joke
Like I said on the Sweet Dreams reaction, Sweet Dreams hit like a ton of breaks. We had no idea what we were hearing, where we were, or what we were looking at. Sweet Dreams predated Depeche Mode's Violator by Seven Years. Sweet Dreams even pre-dated New Order's Blue Monday. Blue Monday actually gets more credit for having the most influence in the genre. Blue Monday does more but Sweet Dreams was there first.
Here comes the rain again was the the more subdued more relatable follow up that sealed Eurythmics place in music history forever.
Yes! Excellent choice for an artist to dig deep on! Live Lennox shines! Thank you! Sweet Dreams?
Maybe in the future
every time i see Bisscute, i'm thinking: OMGosh, she's so beautiful(!)...how can the world not smile upon you?
Biss....."would I lie to you " rocking track
Crazy to think how fresh "Here comes the Rain ☔ Again" sounds...41 Years Young! Biss this is the Studio version...You already reacted to The Eurythmics performing a stripped down version...Of this!

Walking On Broken Glass Biss you will love this one
Thanks, I will add that to the list
The video that made me fell in love with Annie. Love from afar.
Recommend Walking on Broken Glass.
Thanks, I will add it to the list
The 80s had it own sound, it was a great time for music, you could call it timeless because it comes out every few years again and makes waves.
Eurythmics is in Rock n´Roll Hall of Fame, despite not being rock at all. Or not much. Just shows how influental and ground breaking they were.
Annie is such a powerhouse...for decades and decades 🔥🤘
Good morning Bisscutie! Great song! Great lyrics. Eurythmics' best! Love your era chair dancing! Annie Lennox dressed as Elvis Presley at the 1984 Grammy Awards. Great to see artists show respect.
"Don't Ask me Why", is a huge great song
Thanks for posting Bisscute, enjoy your reaction to hits from my era.
I Only Want to Be With You, The Tourists (Annie and Dave before The Eurythmics).
Annie won an Oscar (Academy Awards) for The Lord of the RIngs - Return of the King
One of the great voices of the last 50 years.
Che anni meravigliosi..... l’esplosione di nuovi gruppi , nomi , generi mixati ..... mi sento privilegiato nel averli vissuti . 👍
I highly recommend Annie at the London Olympics closing event.
Thank you for the suggestion
There Must Be an Angel (Playing With My Heart) another great Eurythmics song 🎵 🎶 ❤️
Thanks, I will add it to the list
Its a cover but the passion and fire she puts into this song will curl your toes ! AND!! its live and newer.... I love me some Anne... she is a powerhouse..
Annie Lennox - I Put A Spell On You (Live 2015)
Bisscute goes disco woohoo haha 😂😆. I'm glad you're grooving to this epic song.
Biss I hope you're enjoying this 80's pop music! This played nonstop on MTV back in the day! Of course that was when MTV played music! Lol like I keep saying...you are an 80's girl at Heart! Thanks Biss ❤️💛
This is one of those songs you listen to that never gets old. Annie's voice is captivating and soothing! Thank you Biss for this reaction, you're the best!
Thank you
Annie Lennox's voice is truly incredible and she still retains all her vocal magic
Early 80's had many bands exploited the use of synthesizers. There were string elements with violins and cello's used in this one.
Biss, 2008 American Music Awards, live, solo (just her and her piano), of her song "Why". Powerful. As a bonus, her introduction includes 5 second clips of her biggest hits before her performance. th-cam.com/video/NQQW__8sgNg/w-d-xo.html
Into The West. Her voice brings tears on that one.
I was 15 in 1983 when this came out. Even though they had many great songs back then, they only got 1 song to Number 1 (UK Chart) in 1985 and that was 'There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart) which featured Stevie Wonder on Harmonica 😊
Yes, these are 80's bands they almost all have this disco flavor. We danced a lot in the 80's, and girls were incredible and so beautiful.
my fave Eurythmics song! ♥ 'I make it rain' 🤔 'Here comes the rewind again' 😃
🌹🌹🌹 .. hopefully you will choose "Why" .. by Annie Lennox !!
If you have not yet seen it .. she joined David Bowie at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert and performed "Under Pressure" ... It is one of the best covers ever. 🎶🩷🎼
Maybe in the future
The band her and Dave were in before this were called The Tourists and they did a great cover of I Only Want To Be With You
Great reaction as always one of my favorit bands from the 80's
Eurythmics - love is a stranger
Eurythmics - would i lie to you
Also a great band from the early 80's is
Yazoo - Dont go
Yazoo - situation
Yazoo - other side of love
The lead singer is alison moyet who had a great solo carrier too
Thank you, glad you loved the reaction
Annie Lennox has such a unique and iconic voice, so powerful.

Love the voice
Great reaction bisscute
Thank you, glad you loved the reaction
Filmed in the Orkney Islands, off the north land of Scotland. Annie is Scots. This is one of my favorite E's songs.
Many have added history and facts to this vid, and are spot on. I’ll only add a personal anecdote.
There isn’t a rainy day, especially the first few each season, here in Sonoma County, CA., where I’m not singing this song to myself. It’s just a perfect opportunity to visit an old friend, and this Eurythmics track is too good to pass up. 🎶
Annie was (is) such a great vocalist. The song was released in 1983. A very nice reaction.
If you want to see an amazing performance, you should check out Annie Lennox & David Bowie perfoming Under Pressure, the Queen/Bowie duet at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert at Wembly Stadium with the surviving members of Queen on instruments. If you haven't heard the original Queen/Bowie version yet, then you should definitely check that one out first.
Honestly, Biss could do a live 1-hour set doing a deep dive into The Eurythmics, as well as this sweet gem with Bowie.
Lennox and Bowie at the Queen gig was awful. As much as I love Annie’s voice that was a major no no.
AL is a musical angel!
Женщина - светлячок нашла свой путь в темноте. Давайте вместе искать путь к свету! Хорошая песня! И хорошая реакция, Miss Biss!❤
Well, you’ve done 2 of my 3 favourite Eurythmics songs. The third is the Miracle of Love.
Hello 👋 Miss Bisscute !!! Even after Disco Night Clubs were very popular threw the 80 ' S so if you could dance to it like Billy idol ( mony , mony ) ( Dancing with myself )or Enigma ( Sadness ) ( Return to innocence ) or ( Principles of Lust ) Were Highly needed 😂😂😂
Classic.. I was in 6th Grade when this was released. Memories of MTV and Casey Kasem's American Top 40. This sound, mood and video also reminded me of Paul Young's Come Back & Stay and Real Life's Send Me An Angel.
The Eurythmics song I like best. Steady with a dramatic edge, as Annie searches and sings. I like that note you hit at the end.
Annie Lennox, one of Scotland's best ever vocalists. She and Dave Stewart were in a band called The Tourists and had a hit with a cover of I Only Want To Be With You (1979), before forming Eurythmics. Fun fact, their regular backing vocalist live was Eddi Reader, who later sang lead for the band Fairground Attraction.
I'd recommend the Eurythmics track "You Have Placed a Chill in My Heart" from a few years later.
Eurythmics were an 80s band. Dave & Annie went their own ways in the 90s. Annie's debut solo album (Diva) is as amazing as you would expect. Have a listen to "Why".
They have got back together a few times briefly and in 2022 were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
And I do enjoy your reactions. You make me 😆
The comparison to Depeche Mode is a great one. You know it's kind of funny, I watch a lot of reaction videos and I do see a lot of reactors try to connect the dots and make assumptions about things but many times they're actually wrong but I have to give credit where it's due. With you most of the time I see you do that you actually get it right. You nailed it once again with the correlation between Eurythmics and Depeche Mode. Definitely same time period and similar sounds. In the '80s you'd be hard-pressed to find any musical artist that wasn't using some form of synth either as a primary instrument or as something in the background.
Annie is definitely one of the four 'Mt Rushmore' of female vocalists in my opinion.
Great reaction!!!❤
Here comes the Rain Again: Reigns again, Biss! 🌧️ 👑 🎵
Maybe in the future
Those were the great 80's songs and artists solo or bands. I first seen this video and others on MTV. At the 5:00 mark I like your moves. Great choices once again and keep up the awesome reactions.
This song was recorded in 1983. and the album containing this song was released at the very beginning of 1984
Love you bisscute. Your so amazing and breathtaking keep up the great work hun
If you want to revisit this song later down the road, there's a live acoustic version of this that is absolutely haunting.
Thanks Bisscute to broadcast this one, my favorite Eurythmics track and what about the vidéo totaly "wuthering high" inspired
Biss, listen the several live versions of this song, one more fantastic than another!!! Annie is queen!!! And talking about Queen, the concert Freddie Mercury Tribute, Annie sang with David Bowie the song Under Pressure… simply amazing!!!
Thanks
You hit disco right on the head. Back in those days, record companies did a study of the dance hits and found that 132 beats per minute was the optimum beat rate of those hits. I just checked this one because I had never noticed the disco aspect until you pointed it out...and guess how many beats per minute?
My favourite Eurythmics song is ´Love Is A Stranger´.
The prettiest eyes in music history ❤
From what I've heard, it's a great song to go roller-skating to, at least it got played all the time at the rink. I forget the names of her solo work but she sang a song for Lord of the Rings too.
Check out this masterpiece by them: No Fear, No Hate, No Pain (audio). Annie's voice soars in this song.
My favorite Annie Lennox song is from the credits for The Return of the King. It’s called Into the West.
As a junior high kid, I thought she was so memorizing, and to this day nothing has changed.
The Eurythmics and Depche Mode were, indeed, contemporaries of each others. This was during the New Wave Synthpop era. There were some elements of disco that were still lingering, but by the early 80's the term "disco" was certain death to one's career. It is still dance music though.
"Love song for a vampire" is one of my favourite Annie Lennox songs, tied probably with "Little Bird". Both well worth listening to, but little bird does a bit of a homage to her work so probably best to leave that until later and do "There must be an Angel" and "Whiter Shade of Pale" first.
Yeah you're right, same era and vibes with Depeche Mode.
For a live performance Annie Lennox, check out the Freddie Mercury tribute concert
Maybe in the future
She fills in for Freddie Mercury, singing a duet with David Bowie & the rest of Queen playing, Under Pressure, Live from Rio I think!
Depeche Mode are an English electronic music band formed in Basildon, Essex in 1980. Originally formed with the lineup of Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, ...

The whole album's worth a listen, so many different textures and vibes besides the singles: Cool Blue, Paint A Rumour, Aqua.
