*You can support the channel with TH-cam Channel Memberships or through Buy Me a Coffee. Never expected, but always appreciated.❤Links in Description!* I absolutely LOVE this song! What should I listen to next from them?!
You should check out "Would I Lie to You" and "There Must Be an Angel." Both songs and the accompanying videos are AMAZING. Dave and Annie are at their peak in those songs.
Annie Lennox has a very powerful voice. The Eurythmics had a lot of great hits in the 80's-90's such as "Who's That Girl?", "Right By Your Side", "Would I Lie To You?", "It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back)", "Love Is A Stranger", "Missionary Man" etc. Annie has had a great solo career too with many hits.
And a flautist which is what she studied at music college. I know a trumpet player originally from Aberdeen (now lives down in Selsey) who played in the same concert band there as her as a teenager.
Annie is a shape-shifter in both appearance and vocally. Would I Lie to You and Missionary Man showcase a more rock sound. My personal favorite, Must Be an Angel Playing with my Heart, yet another Annie.
Annie is an Amazing talent.....................she is brilliant in her solo career. He duet with Bowie (Under Pressure)at the Freddie tribute concert is a CLASSIC ! a must see.
Would I Lie to You, Sisters Are Doing It for themselves, Who's That Girl, Missionary Man, I Need A Man, Why, Walking on Broken Glass, No More I Love Yous... just a few more 😂😂😂😂
Annie's vocals are in my top 3 female artists.. Please check out her duet with David Bowie, Under Pressure at the Memorial Concert for Freddie Mercury..She is the only one who could come that close to Freddie's vocals on that song. Also her cover of I Put A Spell On You, is well worth listening to...Why is another good one, Missionary Man also.
I'd just spent 6 months in Mexico and crossed back into San Diego. New visa for 6 more months, I bought a truck and 3 new cassettes. Eurythmics, Prince Purple Rain and Tina Turner Private Dancer. All 3 still stand up 40 years later.
Yes, Dave Stewart was the musical mastermind behind all Eurythmics' compositions while Annie provided the lyrical (and sometimes musical) content. Stewart was sorely overlooked/ underrated as a guitar and keyboard wizard. Between the two of them, they not only created great music, they were committed to performance (visual) art at the onset of the video medium in the early 80s. Highly recommend any of their live performances from the Peace Tour ❤
The video where this was filmed is in Annies native Scotland. Around the Orkney Isles off the far north coast of Scotland the stack of rock featured in the aerial shot is called the Old Man of Hoy. Dave Stewart of the band directed it . They both felt the video needed to represent the dramatic feel of the song. They were right
This song is a show stopper, it is just... When I was a kid and it was on VH-1 a lot, I just sank into the landscape. And just how great can a song be, when the video is a woman walking around with a lantern or covered in a blanket? While Dave is with that camera that looks awfully old, but it was quite a luxury for a long time... The video is totally genius, this song is in my all-time TOP 10, suppose it forever will be. It is like she is waiting for his ship or boat to come. Now that you say Dave seems creepy - it never seemed like it. Two lost people, two searching people... Isolated, cold. Artistic. And this vivid song, the vocals... like Annie is waiting for the echoes to reflect her voice, but they somehow don't. I can write all night about how great this song is, how grateful I am to have known it all my life. I don't know, if you read about it, but "Sweet dreams" got its sound from a distortion on the synthesizer or some other electronic thing they were using... a drum machine? And it was about their disillusion with the music industry. BUT THIS, and "Love is a stranger"... just amazing. Forever.
I don’t understand how you could possibly underestimate Dave Stewart. I mean it just….I don’t even have words. The man’s body of work is incredible. revolutionary? Got a deep dive, this one man
This straight took me BACK to the days of no cable sitting up to watch Friday Night Videos. Love this time and genre. Straight up thanks for this one. 🔥
One of those bands where the artists really didn't get along outside of the studio. The creativity kept them interested but they all had one step out of the door.
Annie Lennox also sings the song “Into the West” which was the closing song for the credits in “The Return of the King”, the final film in the Lord of the Rings movies. It won an Oscar and Golden Globe for best original song, and a Grammy as well.
Please do thorn in my side and there must be an angel playing with my heart. Love this song. The video for David Bowie's ashes to ashes has the same effect on the water as this video.
Eurythmics are awesome. They are an incredible due, and even apart they make incredible music. Dave did most of the arrangements, but Annie did participate in that as well. They both wrote their songs. Dave is an incredible producer and Annie is an amazing talent. Her voice is one of the greats in music! She can sing nice and easy and soft or she can belt it out with the best of them. They are an incredible duo!
Yep, her singing voice is what got me hooked in the beginning. But she's not bad to look at either. (80's videos are weird and some dont mean a whole lot....) "Would I Lie To You" is a banger also...
Eurythmics is one of my favorite bands ever and Annie Lennox is one of my favorite singers. I absolutely love this song. Eurythmics and Annie Lennox are one of those groups whose music will always be in my top 5 favorites. Annie Lennox has a beautiful and powerful voice. She also has a very soulful voice which is what gives her a sultry and emotional sound. Eurythmics and Annie Lennox as a solo singer have a deep and amazing catalog to explore.
Annie has one of the biggest vocal ranges out there, she can do marathon runs when called for, but they are only where they need to be, not thrown in gratuitously to show off. Both amazing tracks you've done, but I find them very similar, you'll hear even more diversity if you do more. All the suggestions have already been made, so I'll just say thank you.✌❤
Loved the 80s with the introduction of videos and MTV music suddenly had a visual characteristic. Back in the day we watched videos like regular TV. Eurythmics and Annie Lennox were amazing. Love this tune great reaction.
Awesome reaction 👏🏼👍🏼 🔥 EURYTHMICS 🔥. don't know a lot about them always liked her singing ANNIE LENNOX is her name the singer , DAVE STEWART is a musician producer about all I know , other than they put out some awesome music that I always liked listening to, and I'm sure there was other musicians , but Annie and Dave always got the recognition but anyway Keep up the good work 💪🏼👍🏼👏🏼 ✌🏽 OUT 🇺🇸🫡💯🎯🔥😎
such a brilliant piece this is, and yip you're starting now to see just what Annie's voice can do :D keep going lol there's so much more to hear. Amazing voice.
🇬🇧 Hey SteVen👋 Annie did a duet with Aretha Franklin "Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves", & it is a BANGER. Would love to see you react to that one, unless youve heard it before of course. 😊🎼🎶🫂
I highly recommend Would I Lie to You and Sisters are Doing it For Themselves which was a duet with the legend Aretha Franklin. Loved all their albums but this one especially.
There's no way you can stop here if Sweet Dreams is truly the only previous Eurythmics song you've ever heard! - Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves - Love Is A Stranger - Who's That Girl - Right By Your Side - There Must Be An Angel and - Thorn In My Side were ALL Top 10 hits in the UK! And there's a couple dozen more that made at least the Top 40!
I can say that I personally do like this song better, and prefer it to “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of These)”. I know that tune was a bigger hit as a single, and I’m sure it charted higher and remains more popular. But I don’t know, to me that track is even more of a dance song, compared to this one that has some brooding and a slightly dark edge. Because I’m just more interested in substance than the dance floor.
Nice reaction, always loved her voice! Would love to see you do a reaction to Bloodywood. They are an Indian folk metal band. They have so many unique sounds in their music, I think you would really appreciate it. Aaj would be a great starter song and all their songs have an amazing message. Thanks!
I know you usually just take requests from members, but I ran across a band called Composer Head doing Ace of Spades, “this one’s for you Lemmy” if you like crazy you would love this and if you do it decide don’t do any research .
Dear mrsetonhill go take a look at some of the wonderful footage of the carpenters in concert live in Budokan!There is SOOooo much film of Karen playing drums.
I know that this request has nothing to do with this particular video. However, I couldn't find on your channel if you have reacted to Pentatonix? I saw that you reacted to Home Free. I would love your reaction to Pentatonix. ❤
They have so many & Xmas is a huge part of what they are amazing at. You never know what Kevin's gonna do, beatbox, sing, etc & what they do with songs is insane. Of course, that's coming from someone who can't sing a lick. Lol
Their #1 song is Hallelujah so most people recommend starting there. I would personally recommend Mary Did You Know, Carol of The Bells or maybe even Dance of The Sugar Plum Fairy...only because there's a bit more percussion. After that...go to town because it's really hard not to get sucked in the vortex that is PTX. Hope to see some soon & I love your reactions & positivity.
Annie Lennox was the voice but Dave Stewart was the musical mastermind and probably didn't get the credit that they both deserved. Dave has worked with a whos who in music since the 80s. You should check out Annies solo songs like Why, Walking on Broken Glass and Little Bird. I always considered Annie the female David Bowie and David Bowie the male Annie Lennox, especially during the early 80s.
Goosebumps time. Her voice has a natural vibrato with range and power. I love hearing the reaction from a producers viewpoint. Do you pick any ideas for production?
If you like 'Here Comes Lorraine Again' then you'll like this track cut from the same piece of cloth - 'No Fear, No Hate, No Pain (No Broken Hearts)': th-cam.com/video/4ilgYsoXcCM/w-d-xo.html
sexcrime1984 is another banger by them, also ...would i lie to you .....who's that girl..... annie has passed on her talent to her daughter Lola ... who has had a few hits in uk
Annie Lennox was forced to show her birth certificate to mtv to prove she was a female before they would play eurythmics videos in america due to her short hair and cross dressing .that still winds me up now
*You can support the channel with TH-cam Channel Memberships or through Buy Me a Coffee. Never expected, but always appreciated.❤Links in Description!*
I absolutely LOVE this song! What should I listen to next from them?!
You should check out Would I Lie To You. It's a rocker with a blues flavor that I know you would enjoy!
Her duet with Aretha Franklin is pretty good too.
@robertpearson8798 I totally forgot about that!
" Would I Lie to You " will floor you.
Annie was on all tracks. The back up ladies in the video were lipping it. It floored me.
You should check out "Would I Lie to You" and "There Must Be an Angel." Both songs and the accompanying videos are AMAZING. Dave and Annie are at their peak in those songs.
Watch her doing her song Why live its just her and her piano its at an award show Pure talent at the highest level
Annie Lennox has a very powerful voice. The Eurythmics had a lot of great hits in the 80's-90's such as "Who's That Girl?", "Right By Your Side", "Would I Lie To You?", "It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back)", "Love Is A Stranger", "Missionary Man" etc. Annie has had a great solo career too with many hits.
Who's that girl was Madonna
@@michaeltaylor8835 Madonna did a completely different song with the same title. It is from a movie she was in with the same title.
Annie is a native of Scotland where I think most of this was filmed she is also a violinist amongst everything else.
And a flautist which is what she studied at music college. I know a trumpet player originally from Aberdeen (now lives down in Selsey) who played in the same concert band there as her as a teenager.
Annie Lennox is just amazing! One of best female voices around, if not the best. 🙂
Annie Lennox' voice is ethereal
Annie Lennox solo song "Walking on Broken Glass" is a killer track
‘Who’s That Girl’ now that’s a banger!!😂
Did anyone mention, the peeping Tom with the camera is Dave Stewart, the guy who wrote the song and played all the keyboard sounds and produced it ?
Annie also co-wrote the song both brilliant songwriters
How about the landscape/seascape in that video? Wow!!
Thanks, Seton! Annie Lenoxx was amazing... hope you listen to more Eurythmics... (for a rocker - do "would I lie to you" - !!) appreciate it!
The man that You kept tripping on in the video is responsible for most of the instrumental genius of Eurythmics! That's Dave Stewart...❤
Annie has an amazing vical range
Annie is a shape-shifter in both appearance and vocally. Would I Lie to You and Missionary Man showcase a more rock sound. My personal favorite, Must Be an Angel Playing with my Heart, yet another Annie.
Checkout her song “missionary man”
Annie is an Amazing talent.....................she is brilliant in her solo career. He duet with Bowie (Under Pressure)at the Freddie tribute concert is a CLASSIC ! a must see.
Miracle of Love live in Oz ,you won’t regret it
Little Bird is one of my favorites!!!!
Would I Lie to You, Sisters Are Doing It for themselves, Who's That Girl, Missionary Man, I Need A Man, Why, Walking on Broken Glass, No More I Love Yous... just a few more 😂😂😂😂
Same!
You need to add Annie Lennox reactions to this channel man... lots of them! 🔥🎹🎵🎸
The most awarded and successful female singer in UK history. Her solo stuff is amazing too.
Annie's vocals are in my top 3 female artists.. Please check out her duet with David Bowie, Under Pressure at the Memorial Concert for Freddie Mercury..She is the only one who could come that close to Freddie's vocals on that song. Also her cover of I Put A Spell On You, is well worth listening to...Why is another good one, Missionary Man also.
I'd just spent 6 months in Mexico and crossed back into San Diego. New visa for 6 more months, I bought a truck and 3 new cassettes. Eurythmics, Prince Purple Rain and Tina Turner Private Dancer. All 3 still stand up 40 years later.
Great choices
Mesmerizing is exactly the way I describe her voice.
Geez I miss the music of my youth/the 80s
Yes, Dave Stewart was the musical mastermind behind all Eurythmics' compositions while Annie provided the lyrical (and sometimes musical) content. Stewart was sorely overlooked/ underrated as a guitar and keyboard wizard. Between the two of them, they not only created great music, they were committed to performance (visual) art at the onset of the video medium in the early 80s. Highly recommend any of their live performances from the Peace Tour ❤
The video where this was filmed is in Annies native Scotland.
Around the Orkney Isles off the far north coast of Scotland the stack of rock featured in the aerial shot is called the Old Man of Hoy.
Dave Stewart of the band directed it .
They both felt the video needed to represent the dramatic feel of the song.
They were right
This song is a show stopper, it is just... When I was a kid and it was on VH-1 a lot, I just sank into the landscape. And just how great can a song be, when the video is a woman walking around with a lantern or covered in a blanket? While Dave is with that camera that looks awfully old, but it was quite a luxury for a long time... The video is totally genius, this song is in my all-time TOP 10, suppose it forever will be. It is like she is waiting for his ship or boat to come.
Now that you say Dave seems creepy - it never seemed like it. Two lost people, two searching people... Isolated, cold. Artistic. And this vivid song, the vocals... like Annie is waiting for the echoes to reflect her voice, but they somehow don't. I can write all night about how great this song is, how grateful I am to have known it all my life.
I don't know, if you read about it, but "Sweet dreams" got its sound from a distortion on the synthesizer or some other electronic thing they were using... a drum machine? And it was about their disillusion with the music industry.
BUT THIS, and "Love is a stranger"... just amazing. Forever.
I don’t understand how you could possibly underestimate Dave Stewart.
I mean it just….I don’t even have words. The man’s body of work is incredible. revolutionary?
Got a deep dive, this one man
This straight took me BACK to the days of no cable sitting up to watch Friday Night Videos. Love this time and genre. Straight up thanks for this one. 🔥
Love that! ❤️🤘🏻
One of those bands where the artists really didn't get along outside of the studio. The creativity kept them interested but they all had one step out of the door.
I think next you have to hit love is a stranger.
Completely different and totally awesome
Annie Lennox also sings the song “Into the West” which was the closing song for the credits in “The Return of the King”, the final film in the Lord of the Rings movies. It won an Oscar and Golden Globe for best original song, and a Grammy as well.
Would I Lie To You and Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves (duet with Aretha Franklin) really showcase Annie's vocals
Dave Stewart (the dude with the camera) is the Mastermind. - Sought after and still works with a lot of other artists!
Please do thorn in my side and there must be an angel playing with my heart.
Love this song.
The video for David Bowie's ashes to ashes has the same effect on the water as this video.
My favorite Eurythmics song!
As well as the best video of theirs
That is my favourite song of theirs, Annie Lennox is fantastic.
If you want to really hear her voice listen to her on WHY. She had gone solo by this time
You have to check Love is a stranger , Who’s that girl, and many more. You ain’t see nothing yet
Check out some of Annie's solo stuff. "Why" is such a fantastic song and video and shows of Annies vocals. And you'll see why Annie is a true Diva!
Eurythmics are awesome. They are an incredible due, and even apart they make incredible music. Dave did most of the arrangements, but Annie did participate in that as well. They both wrote their songs. Dave is an incredible producer and Annie is an amazing talent. Her voice is one of the greats in music!

Try Voices Carry, by, Till Tuesday. Great song.
Yep, her singing voice is what got me hooked in the beginning. But she's not bad to look at either. (80's videos are weird and some dont mean a whole lot....) "Would I Lie To You" is a banger also...
My personal fav from Eurythmics is Missionary Man 🤩
One of my all time favourite songs. What a voice she has! So raw, so sensual. Reminds me of a former love, back in the day...
This is one of my favorite eurhythmics songs. I really think the production on this is spectacular the arrangement everything about it.
Absolutely! 💯
You deserve to go places...c'monletsgoooooo........❤
Thank you! 🙏🏻 Let’s Goooo!!!
Eurythmics is one of my favorite bands ever and Annie Lennox is one of my favorite singers. I absolutely love this song.

She also has a very soulful voice which is what gives her a sultry and emotional sound. Eurythmics and Annie Lennox as a solo singer have a deep and amazing catalog to explore.
I would suggest Annie Lennox's version of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" this time of year.
I saw Eurythmics live back in the day. I could never listen to them on CD again as her voice was SO spectacular live. Unbelievable.
☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥🌧️love them!!
Love it. Annie and Dave are such great musicians. Suggestion: Would I Lie to You? and Missionary Man. Also any live performance by Eurythmics 🧡
A MUST HEAR track,, Simply Red "Money's Too Tight To Mention" (Official Music Video)
Annie has one of the biggest vocal ranges out there, she can do marathon runs when called for, but they are only where they need to be, not thrown in gratuitously to show off. Both amazing tracks you've done, but I find them very similar, you'll hear even more diversity if you do more. All the suggestions have already been made, so I'll just say thank you.✌❤

This is their best song ☮
Annie Lennox Waiting in Vain cover of the Bob Marley classic❤ I love this rendition
Listen to there song Missionary Man based on Annie’s ex husband.
The word you were thinking of is "pizzicato." Fun fact: the "pluck" part of thumping and plucking on bass is a pizzicato technique!
Awesome reaction 👏🏼👍🏼
🔥 EURYTHMICS 🔥. don't know a lot about them always liked her singing ANNIE LENNOX is her name the singer , DAVE STEWART is a musician producer about all I know , other than they put out some awesome music that I always liked listening to, and I'm sure there was other musicians , but Annie and Dave always got the recognition but anyway
Keep up the good work 💪🏼👍🏼👏🏼
✌🏽 OUT 🇺🇸🫡💯🎯🔥😎
such a brilliant piece this is, and yip you're starting now to see just what Annie's voice can do :D keep going lol there's so much more to hear. Amazing voice.
Your reactions are the BEST! I love this song but I live in Seattle 😂
So glad you are enjoying them! 😁
Even better is the live 1987 version in my opinion, with a great final guitar solo (even if those instruments rarely play solo but what can I say?)
🇬🇧
Hey SteVen👋 Annie did a duet with Aretha Franklin "Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves", & it is a BANGER. Would love to see you react to that one, unless youve heard it before of course. 😊🎼🎶🫂
Love this song.
"Would I lie to you" is a banger!
For me, much more emotional than sweet dreams. I think it's one of the great yearning love songs of the 80s.
I highly recommend Would I Lie to You and Sisters are Doing it For Themselves which was a duet with the legend Aretha Franklin. Loved all their albums but this one especially.
There's no way you can stop here if Sweet Dreams is truly the only previous Eurythmics song you've ever heard!
- Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves
- Love Is A Stranger
- Who's That Girl
- Right By Your Side
- There Must Be An Angel
and
- Thorn In My Side
were ALL Top 10 hits in the UK!
And there's a couple dozen more that made at least the Top 40!
You should hit their rock stuff/ “I need a man” or “would I lie to you?”
Perfect description.
That higher pitch plucking your hearing they most likely achieved by plucking the strings on a violin they make a higher sound when finger plucked
I can say that I personally do like this song better, and prefer it to “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of These)”. I know that tune was a bigger hit as a single, and I’m sure it charted higher and remains more popular. But I don’t know, to me that track is even more of a dance song, compared to this one that has some brooding and a slightly dark edge.

Live and learn…
If you say "let's, go" one more time...YIKES.

I love you like a ball & chain
sexcrime1984 is another banger by them, also ...would i lie to you .....who's that girl..... annie has passed on her talent to her daughter Lola ... who has had a few hits in uk
She’s looking for true romance and he’s just a stalker 😂
😂🤣😂
@ You gotta do some reactions to the Black Crowes! “Shake your Money Maker “ album is phenomenal!
Annie Lennox was forced to show her birth certificate to mtv to prove she was a female before they would play eurythmics videos in america due to her short hair and cross dressing .that still winds me up now
That’s wild!! 😳
Dave is a peeping Tom.
