You two have to do "WOULD I LIE TO YOU" official video. The riff, the horns, the background vocals and especially Annie Lennox voice in this is the very pinnacle of her POWER !!!!
Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox were a match made in Heaven. She needed his musicality and ridiculous production skills to really showcase her voice and he needed that incredible voice to translate his songs. Absolutely classic music that will last well beyond our time. ✌️
+ their romantic relationship pre-eurhytmics also led them to emotionally be connected I think until ... maybe not this day... but for a good chunk of their collaborations... it's actually pretty rare a split up couple still manages to do stuff together, especially in such an emotionally-demanding area as the music making one... i wonder if there are other examples of 'teams' like this that have existed???
J & Amber, You'll love their "Would I Like To You"(banger!), and “Walking on Broken Glass”(from Annie's solo career)!!! edit- you also did their "Missionary Man".
'Why' is absolutely worth a listen - as is Dave Stewart's (and Candy Dulfer's) Lily Was Here - it's great when all artists from a band can keep producing great music even after splitting up!
I feel like a lot of modern singers try to sing like this, but when they do it, it's all breathy and weak, sits there like a balloon that's lost all its air. She's breathy, but also full of force and energy, it's effortless for her (or she makes us think it is), but it's like there's a tornado inside of her, speaking of "here comes the rain again".
For me, this is their best song & her voice is majestic & stunning. Dave Stewart's production & musical skills are equally as stunning. Listen to the mix of instruments, and the way the opening synth riff jumps several octaves near the end, as Annie get's more intense, vocally.
Been an Annie Lennox fan since the get go. You've done this, "Missionary Man", and "Sweet Dreams", so that means you've gotten three of Annie's many facets. That's what she brings to the table, and why she's a true diva. "Love is a Stranger" is fantastic, as is "Who's That Girl?" They also duetted in 1985 with the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, herself, with "Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves." And if you want to check out Annie's solo stuff, "Little Bird" is phenominal, as is "Why".
If you want a deeper dive, check out their 'Live 1983-1989' compilation album. It's basically a live greatest hits CD (22 songs!), you can find it on the official Eurythmics youtube channel. They were an amazing live band.
'There must be an angel' is THE BOMB for Annie's amazing vocal range. It also has a guest harmonica player 😉 Also her duet with Aretha Franklin is 👏👏👏👏
Was scrolling through the comments and not a single person has said you should listen to WHEN TOMORROW COMES.. A totally underrated song from a great group.
Eurythmics fall under that category of "nothing had ever sounded like this before". When this was new on the radio we all stopped & took notice of the new & unique sound.
"Into the West" from LOTR soundtrack. Just beautiful. In 2004, she won both the Golden Globe and the Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Into the West"
Wife here..Awwww Loved Loved Loved Eurythmics in the eighties..Annie Lennox does have quiet the aura about her..Wow..How this truly takes me back..We sang this in High School Chorus and our teacher was OBSESSED with our pronunciation of the word " wind"..We practiced it over and over and over and over..😂
Rain is a well-known metaphor for a broken heart. Everything from "Rain" by The Beatles to "Rain" by Patty Griffin (different songs) to "Raining in My Heart" by Buddy Holly. All worthy choices. Enjoy…and bring a tissue. (Or an umbrella.)
I agreed with the other comments about Would I Lie To You, but in my opinion the Eurythmics songs pale in comparison to Annie Lennox's solo songs. "Why", "Cold", "Would I Lie To You", "Little Bird"...not to mention her cover of Whiter Shade of Pale! She is amazing!
You guys should react to more Eurythmics… "Love Is a Stranger", "Wrap It Up", "The Walk", "This Is the House", "Right by Your Side", "Who's That Girl?", "Would I Lie to You?", "There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)", "Thorn in My Side", "When Tomorrow Comes", "The Miracle of Love", "Don't Ask Me Why", "Angel", "Revival" 💃🏻🕺🏼
I was a 16 yr old when this song came out in the early 80's and everyone was trippin about her hair cut and how short it was. Some of my peers hated it and others loved it feeling it was so rebellious at the time. Its funny because today a pixie cut like hers is so common but back then her androgynous hair and style of dress really shocked lots of us. The gender lines were rarely crossed like what she was doing in her early years. Their first song "Sweet Dreams" really show cased androgyny and it threw us for a loop. lmbo...man we had know idea how things would change..it all looks so tame now that most of you kids dont even notice it ...which honestly is a good thing. The music style they had was considered a soft industrial sound. They didnt use many insturments it was all digital which was another new thing that swept music in the early 80's synth pop or rock.
Came to say much the same thing, male androgyny had been going on for a decade with Bowie, Marc Bolan, Freddie mercury and others. Female androgyny was more like just being a tough female, like a girl in a leather jacket. Annie Lennox exploded all that, with a non-masculine ambiguity, and she needs to be recognized for that pioneering approach that paved the way for others.
I was in Germany when I first saw Eurythmics on the German version of what America would soon be enjoying, called MTV, though not called that in Germany, I was 22 at the time, and remember thinking, wow, This is what's happening in America, I was a fan of Eurythmics from the very start, after getting out of the Army in 83, I came home and got into my career as a radio DJ, and lo and behold, Eurythmics charted and was always in some sort of rotation at our station, I told people about them when I got home, but it was one of those "You have to see it, to appreciate it" situations, and this was long before computers and internet...anyway...that's the way it was...LOL...Rock ON!
You must watch her performance singing Freddie Mercury’s part on “Under Pressure” with Queen and David Bowie, at his tribute concert! That was a huge feat to pull off- to sing Freddys part and truly do it justice-but she did it beautifully. ❤️
It's because 80's was an era of creativity and versality in music. That's the reason why the music was so accepted. Almost every day something different was on the radio. I lived those days when i was a young guy and i was so happy to be envolved by all those special music. I couldn't go further in music. I still listen to 80's music.
You would LOVE Enya. They are like a synthesized orchestration ... with vocals. Enya is similar, but more ethereal. She's like a singing fairytale. And, she's beautiful.
"I Need A Man", There Must Be An Angel" "Would I Lie To You?" So many great tracks. Their second and third albums were very new wave electronica, like this track, and very successful. With the critical and commercial failure of their soundtrack for "1984" (which I loved), they made a clear shift towards a more mainstream pop sound in the mid 80s, starting with "Would I Lie To You?". It's a shame their first album, "In The Garden", never gets any attention, it's not as good as "Sweet Dreams" by any means, but there's some cool weird stuff on their that's worth a listen. The first few years of the 80s blossomed with lots of new, experimental stuff.
Annie Lennox is awesome, as someone else mentioned before, “Love song for a Vampire” from the Dracula soundtrack, amazing. Also, for female singer who rock the deeper tones, maybe try the German “Grand Dame of Punk” Nina Hagen, “Seemann - Apocalyptica - feat. Nina Hagen” is a Rammstein Cover and so good.
Based on your past reactions, I would say that "Would I Lie To You" by The Eurythmics has all the characteristics that you like in a song. Seriously, I wouldn't lie to you.
It would be great if you discovered "Stay", by Shakespear's Sister. Marcella Detroit is the lead singer of that song. The other woman is Siobhan Fahey, formerly of Bananrama, who was once married to Dave Stewart...the other half of The Eurythmics. Marcella's voice will blow your mind. Also, how about some En Vogue?
Yep "Would I lie to you" is a powerhouse......you will see that Annie had or has a fantastic voice. "Sisters are doing it for themselves" with Aretha Franklin is also well worth reacting to....two brilliant female voices for the price of one
This really shows off Annie’s voice and the smoky depth of her voice especially….. there’s so many songs that are suggested already so just do them …… stunning band !
Great reaction! Annie Lenox shocked everyone with short orange hair in the Sweet Dreams video because the 80’s culture was pretty long hair culture. The 80’s was a transformational age, like the 60’s recycled with technology as far as home computers, digital recording, electronic drums and glorifying money! Annie was like “Oh hell no!”! Amber hit this song on the head when she said this song was timeless. Even back in the 80’s with disco transforming into pop music, 70’s punk turning into new wave, and hair metal coming out to clone Van Halen because MTV needed music videos to play, this song stood out and you knew it had lasting power!
Annie's voice is indeed otherworldly and her visually stunning presentation of the music always transports you to that world the lyrics describe but down a path you may not have found without her guiding you.
This is one of the most emotional songs of my lifetime. It comes on the radio at the strangest times and in the strangest places. Another masterpiece video of early MTV.
Annie’s voice was very clear yet breathy with very little vibrato. It cuts through music without straining. Her theatrical performances match her vocal story telling.
1983; this song was huge, and this band was all over MTV. Classic 80s synth pop. Next step was the heavier R&B thump of "Would I Lie To You?" and "Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves", the duet Annie Lennox did with Aretha Franklin (probably the ULTIMATE song for Female Friday).
I remember watching this on TV when I was about 6 or 7. And I remember how eerie the video looks and it gave the chills almost to the point of being scared. Strange, I know. But as an adult, I love this song.
She's so terrific. A must-see pick for Female Friday or any day you want to hear top notch music listen to "Would I Lie To You?" It has a super fun video. I love it!
It’s crazy how music can evoke such a visceral reaction…. This song throws me right back to my teenage years and I feel all the emotions. Hope, angst, happiness, fear.. all of it… Love The Eurythmics so much.
The constant reverberating plucking bass is a great compliment to her voice and the other orchestral instruments. The darkndreary rainy scottish back drop adds to her and the songs whole ethereal nature.
There were many great voices in the New Wave genre. Alison Moyet Andy Bell Mick Hucknall Martha Davis Jimmy Summerville Johnette Napalitano Phil Oakey ...just to name a few. For a different side of Dave Stewart, you should check out his duet with Candy Dulfer on Lily Was Here.
You two have to do "WOULD I LIE TO YOU" official video. The riff, the horns, the background vocals and especially Annie Lennox voice in this is the very pinnacle of her POWER !!!!
Is it raining with you?….The song is mesmerizing….. love it!
I love "Would I Lie to You"!!!!!!!
Has her powerful presence and vocals and the HORNS. you'd love it
Also the live performance of WHY from 2000 is INCREDIBLE
I sat up and took notice when I first heard that song, Wow! Amazing.
YES with a much omph as possible! They'll love that song.
"Would I Lie to You" is arguably their best song--an absolute banger.
LISTEN TO BRAD!!! lol....
Missionary Man... No More I Love You's, Beethoven, 1984 (Sexcrime)
@@GradyBroyles 1984 (Sex Crime) would be my favourite from them, followed by Who's That Girl. Love Is A Stranger is a good one too.
I'm with Brad. "Would I Lie to You" is soooooo good!
YES SIR!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍
"Who's That Girl" is under-appreciated. My favorite Eurythmics song. The cool-factor is at 100%
Had to scroll too far down to find mention of this song!! …was about to post the same because ITA!!!
100%
Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox were a match made in Heaven. She needed his musicality and ridiculous production skills to really showcase her voice and he needed that incredible voice to translate his songs. Absolutely classic music that will last well beyond our time. ✌️
Yes, David Stewart was essential to Eurythmics' sound as well!
+ their romantic relationship pre-eurhytmics also led them to emotionally be connected I think until ... maybe not this day... but for a good chunk of their collaborations... it's actually pretty rare a split up couple still manages to do stuff together, especially in such an emotionally-demanding area as the music making one... i wonder if there are other examples of 'teams' like this that have existed???
@Nicky L understood, but I still stand by my statement. Education doesn’t create talent and Dave was a freaking genius in the studio. ✌️
@@thibautzadina7013 I would suggest Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry of Dead Can Dance. Australia's finest...
A great one for Female Friday would be Annie Lennox’s duet with Aretha Franklin-“Sisters Are Doing For Themselves. Two legendary voices together!
I second this!
PLEASE¡¡¡ GREAT SONG
She had such an iconic voice!! Her partner Dave Stewart was a great musician and composer also. Sometimes people forget the teamwork involved👍🎶
100%
Yeah..... an give him all the credit..... I think she may hv won Oscar.
Hold on...they're still alive....and touring...😊
I love the song "Why" by Annie Lennox and she also sang the song "Into the West" for the 3rd Lord of the Rings movie "Return of the King".
"Why" just hit different! great call!
She also won the Oscar for that song
I mean, she's basically an elf. Perfect voice, the cheekbones... 😉😄
"Love Is A Stranger" is another great song by The Eurythmics.
J & Amber, You'll love their "Would I Like To You"(banger!), and “Walking on Broken Glass”(from Annie's solo career)!!! edit- you also did their "Missionary Man".
"Would I Lie To You" Frankly their best song for me ... such a ripper!!!
"No More I Love You's" is also great.
Check out her solo stuff too, “Why” and “No more I love you’s” are fantastic
Yes! Those two are a must-listen.
Walking on Broken Glass
The original No More I love yous by The Lover Speaks is even better than Annie’s version
'Why' is absolutely worth a listen - as is Dave Stewart's (and Candy Dulfer's) Lily Was Here - it's great when all artists from a band can keep producing great music even after splitting up!
Oh I love No More I Love Yous!
So many great tunes by the Eurythmics. Would I Lie to You, Missionary Man, Sisters Are Doing it For Themselves. They are a vibe.
They did Missionary Man back in December.
"When Tomorrow Comes" is also stellar.
@@matthewteague623 one of my favorites too
Sex crimes 1984 is another good song
Annie's voice is just so...divine
Dave Stewart has to get credit for creating and arranging all of the music, playing many of the instruments.
I feel like a lot of modern singers try to sing like this, but when they do it, it's all breathy and weak, sits there like a balloon that's lost all its air. She's breathy, but also full of force and energy, it's effortless for her (or she makes us think it is), but it's like there's a tornado inside of her, speaking of "here comes the rain again".
For me, this is their best song & her voice is majestic & stunning.
Dave Stewart's production & musical skills are equally as stunning.
Listen to the mix of instruments, and the way the opening synth riff
jumps several octaves near the end, as Annie get's more intense, vocally.
Definately ONE of the best
One of the strongest, most empowering songs you'll ever hear: The Eurythmics, "Thorn In My Side".
Been an Annie Lennox fan since the get go. You've done this, "Missionary Man", and "Sweet Dreams", so that means you've gotten three of Annie's many facets. That's what she brings to the table, and why she's a true diva. "Love is a Stranger" is fantastic, as is "Who's That Girl?"

@@Pulsar77 Sadly, never got to see them live. Did you?
@@Shrykespeare No, unfortunately not.
Bummer. Anyone out there seen them live?
“Why” from 1992 Diva album is absolutely well written and sang by Annie. Worth watching actual video
"Love is A Stranger" is another awesome song of theirs with an awesome beat. I think you both would really like it!
My favorite
Mine too and the live version is exceptional th-cam.com/video/J5xk1-KEgds/w-d-xo.html
The opening lines "Whos' that Girl" have got to be some of most memorable written.
You should check out her solo stuff for female Friday, "Walking on Broken Glass", "No More I Love Yous", "Why", "Little Bird"
"Would I Lie to You" is amazing. A must listen.
She lived around the corner from where I was brought up and went to School, a very talented lady.
'There must be an angel' is THE BOMB for Annie's amazing vocal range. It also has a guest harmonica player 😉
Also her duet with Aretha Franklin is 👏👏👏👏
She does a duet with Sting, don't remember the song.
Was scrolling through the comments and not a single person has said you should listen to
WHEN TOMORROW COMES..
A totally underrated song from a great group.
Eurythmics fall under that category of "nothing had ever sounded like this before". When this was new on the radio we all stopped & took notice of the new & unique sound.
Agreed! I'm a prog rock guy and I've always liked them.
Tears for Fears/ Wang Chung..
Agree. I was just thinking how their SOUND was a totally new vibe back then.
Yes, very true. Sometimes Amber and Jay aren't sure if a group was 60s or 70s etc. but the Eurythmics could only have been 80s - they define 80s cool.
her voice just caresses you on this song.
Eurythmics - Would I lie to you - I Need a Man - Thorn in my Side - Must be an Angel
So happy that i was a teen in the 80's it was such a blast
"Sisters are doing it for Themselves" She sings with Aretha Franklin!!!!
I leave this suggestion all the time. 🤞 First 👍
Dave Stewart was on the cutting edge of keyboard and recording technology, which he used to become one of the best producers ever.
Dark 80's, such a deep vibeage.
"Into the West" from LOTR soundtrack. Just beautiful. In 2004, she won both the Golden Globe and the Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Into the West"
Wife here..Awwww Loved Loved Loved Eurythmics in the eighties..Annie Lennox does have quiet the aura about her..Wow..How this truly takes me back..We sang this in High School Chorus and our teacher was OBSESSED with our pronunciation of the word " wind"..We practiced it over and over and over and over..😂
'There Must Be An Angel' (Playing With My Heart)
One of their best..
Rain is a well-known metaphor for a broken heart. Everything from "Rain" by The Beatles to "Rain" by Patty Griffin (different songs) to "Raining in My Heart" by Buddy Holly. All worthy choices. Enjoy…and bring a tissue. (Or an umbrella.)
Or "Rain" by The Cult, completely different metaphor there.
Or "Show Down (Raining All Over the World)" by ELO.
@@Jessica_Roth Great song!
I think it's how many layers of instruments there are,but all of them with such a light touch that it is richly textured without being muddled.
Love Annie! Walking on Broken Glass from her is so good
Her voice is the voice of her genre.
For Female Friday - The Eurythmics "Sisters are doin it for themselves" has Annie in a duet with the great Aretha Franklin
Her voice so different than anyone else on earth amazing !
I agreed with the other comments about Would I Lie To You, but in my opinion the Eurythmics songs pale in comparison to Annie Lennox's solo songs. "Why", "Cold", "Would I Lie To You", "Little Bird"...not to mention her cover of Whiter Shade of Pale! She is amazing!
Annie is in a lane of her own shes utterly spellbinding.
Have loved this song ever since I first heard it as a kid in early 1984 - one of the absolute best Pop songs of the '80s.
Me too, and I agree with that!
This has always been my favorite Annie Lennox song.
You guys should react to more Eurythmics…
"Love Is a Stranger", "Wrap It Up", "The Walk", "This Is the House", "Right by Your Side", "Who's That Girl?", "Would I Lie to You?", "There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)", "Thorn in My Side", "When Tomorrow Comes", "The Miracle of Love", "Don't Ask Me Why", "Angel", "Revival"
💃🏻🕺🏼
Eurythmics captured me the first time I heard them on the radio way back when. I’ve always loved this song and the video.
I was a 16 yr old when this song came out in the early 80's and everyone was trippin about her hair cut and how short it was. Some of my peers hated it and others loved it feeling it was so rebellious at the time. Its funny because today a pixie cut like hers is so common but back then her androgynous hair and style of dress really shocked lots of us. The gender lines were rarely crossed like what she was doing in her early years. Their first song "Sweet Dreams" really show cased androgyny and it threw us for a loop. lmbo...man we had know idea how things would change..it all looks so tame now that most of you kids dont even notice it ...which honestly is a good thing. The music style they had was considered a soft industrial sound. They didnt use many insturments it was all digital which was another new thing that swept music in the early 80's synth pop or rock.
Came to say much the same thing, male androgyny had been going on for a decade with Bowie, Marc Bolan, Freddie mercury and others. Female androgyny was more like just being a tough female, like a girl in a leather jacket. Annie Lennox exploded all that, with a non-masculine ambiguity, and she needs to be recognized for that pioneering approach that paved the way for others.

women had that cut in the 60s
Great Band. Glad to see them make the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Keep them coming!
Her song (solo) Love Song For A Vampire is stunning, otherworldly.
That song makes me stop in my tracks. Can’t imagine anyone else performing it
Thorn in my side. There must be an angel. Two of the many great songs.
My favorite Eurythmics song
Spot on she is considered in her delivery not rushing into each line
You must watch her performance singing Freddie Mercury’s part on “Under Pressure” with Queen and David Bowie, at his tribute concert! That was a huge feat to pull off- to sing Freddys part and truly do it justice-but she did it beautifully. ❤️
It's because 80's was an era of creativity and versality in music. That's the reason why the music was so accepted. Almost every day something different was on the radio. I lived those days when i was a young guy and i was so happy to be envolved by all those special music. I couldn't go further in music. I still listen to 80's music.
Who else just randomly starts singing this song when it starts to rain? 🤷🏽♀️
One word to describe Eurythmics- ethereal
Among all their great music, this song is my all-time favorite Eurythmics tune. Annie is a goddess and Dave a genius.
Great vibe from this tune. One of my favorite from them. To me, it always said: I'm feelin' you. Are you feelin' me back? "Is it raining with you?"
Annie's vocals on "Love Song for a Vampire" are powerful and haunting - the lyrics are pure poetry and the music has a build up that is euphoric!
Great song!!
Loved that song. I did clap back at the idiot who reviewed that song on his channel for his disrespectful tone. Annie just has that gift.
“Why” is a great song that shows off Annie’s voice, great song, great singer.
Oh this brings back so many memories what a great song. ✌️
You would LOVE Enya. They are like a synthesized orchestration ... with vocals.
Enya is similar, but more ethereal. She's like a singing fairytale. And, she's beautiful.
Great suggestions here AND I want to enthusiastically recommend Love Is a Stranger - only saw one or two others mention it so far. Quirky and wonder!
Eurythmics There Must Be an Angel (Playing With My Heart)
WOULD I LIE TO YOU!!! A great song that really demonstrates Annie Lennox's range. She is a real vocal powerhouse.
Such a iconic and beautiful voice.
No More "I Love You's", Walking on Broken Glass - Can't go wrong with those two.
Missionary Man is another real banger from The Eurythmics. Definitely a don't miss.
She and Al Green did a cover of Put a Little Love in Your Heart for the Bill Murray movie Scrooged.
One of my favorite Christmas movies!
She has the most unique voice I have ever heard. Her lower registers are intoxicating.
You can't stop there! "Missionary Man" and "Would I Lie to You?" are just as good as this one (with different tones, naturally)
MISSIONARY MAN has already been done. but WOULD I LIE TO YOU would be one to look forward to 👍😃❣️😃👍
This song and sweet dreams were very big in the 80s , love her , voice is as beautiful as her ❣️
Annie's voice is so unique and powerful. Definitely check out her solo work.
“Love is a Stranger” is a brilliant song!
"I Need A Man",
There Must Be An Angel"
"Would I Lie To You?"
So many great tracks. Their second and third albums were very new wave electronica, like this track, and very successful. With the critical and commercial failure of their soundtrack for "1984" (which I loved), they made a clear shift towards a more mainstream pop sound in the mid 80s, starting with "Would I Lie To You?".

Also, how about some En Vogue?
Yep "Would I lie to you" is a powerhouse......you will see that Annie had or has a fantastic voice.
"Sisters are doing it for themselves" with Aretha Franklin is also well worth reacting to....two brilliant female voices for the price of one
Eurythmics, Annie Lenox as a solo artist is extremely talented and I think they are being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year
If you want to see her really theatrical "Walking on Broken Glass" is really cool.
Eurythmics "There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart)". Thanks.
This really shows off Annie’s voice and the smoky depth of her voice especially….. there’s so many songs that are suggested already so just do them …… stunning band !
"Paint A Rumour" is hypnotic, probably the best outro ever - but so many great songs, enjoy!

Annie Lennox singing I Put A Spell on You.....perfection
The Eurythmics had such an unique sound. No one sounded like them.
You have to get around to Annie Lennox "Walking On Broken Glass"
The constant reverberating plucking bass is a great compliment to her voice and the other orchestral instruments. The darkndreary rainy scottish back drop adds to her and the songs whole ethereal nature.
There were many great voices in the New Wave genre.
Alison Moyet
Andy Bell
Mick Hucknall

Phil Oakey
...just to name a few.
For a different side of Dave Stewart, you should check out his duet with Candy Dulfer on Lily Was Here.
