The queen of vocal multi tracking! Not just one of the greatest female vocalists of our time, she is also one of the greatest ever in any musical genre. There will never be another like her. Stunning and electrifying!
Dave Stewart is a underrated musical genius combined with the sensational Annie Lennox makes a strange magic. The only crime is that this song wasn't a bigger hit!!
Drug-induced paranoid conspiracy delusions? Remember all those death camps that Obama installed? Yeah me neither. If you want something that sort of smells like reality better off reading Brave New World. All hail the new iPhone!
The 80s rocked. There will never be a period of time as prolific and awesome as that decade. I need a time machine so i can go back and dance my life away
i love this so much!the 80s were great.never too be repeated.i remember this like yesterday.back in 1984.wow 35 yrs ago.who remembers this being released ,in 1984,and loves it even more now ,in 2019,or dare i say 1984 now,with all the survailance culture.we are in 1984 people!
I saw this movie & danced to the song at gay clubs. I still have the paillette short dress from a time drag queens were starting to come out lol. This song will always be a favorite. Thank you, Annie Lennox for your brilliance. 😘
Holy fuck this just hit me ......this amazing song is THIRTY years old .....back in1984 I was listening to mum and dads 50s/60s/70s compilations as well as keeping in touch with what was going on at the time as much as a 10 year old can (TOTP , that was it back then apart from radio 1)nowadays I normally say I feel old ...but after listening to this nirvana I would change that to long may great music continue. Peace & Love :)
Half of my generation wants to go back to the 1980s, and the other half wants to go straight to 1984. So here's a track that'll be sure to satisfy both groups. File under "Music to Stomp A Human Face To, Forever" please
Annie Lennox is from Scotland but Dave Stewart is from Sunderland [North East England]. Chris Rea is from Middlesbrough. The Animals, Brian Johnson(AC/DC) and Dire Straights are from Newcastle. They all sounded American to me as a kid so I was shocked when I learned they all came from within 25 miles of where I live :D
Another 80’s dance classic! Annie Lenox is a soul queen love her voice and presence. An incredible artist & performer. Fabulous human being too. Of course there would be no eurythmics without the musical wizard Dave Stewart. He says in VH1 storytellers that some of the iconic synth sounds they created were born from curiosity & discovery. Happy accidents random sounds? Gary numan said something similar. These musical innovators shaped the 80’s but companies like Roland, Korg, moog, Yamaha and many more provided the instruments & platform.
Dave is a genius producer, yes - but I am sure in the context of Eurythmics, both of them are a very, very solid sum of its parts. Neither of them would have "existed" without the other one, I guess. At worst, Eurythmics definitely continues to hang like an albatross around both their necks... But, I, too, am confident that without Annie, Eurythmics wouldn't have ever become as striking as we dearly remember and love them for - there is just this totally unexplainable charisma about Annie, that a small list of her female contemporaries can match - listening to Eurythmics and some of Annie's earlier solo material all these years, her voice is literally blessing those songs... The soothing sound of it, the energy and the hysterics... as effortless as it is balanced and eccentric. And as much as I am not into her post-Medusa solo material, Annie still provokes my curiosity on how she'd approach a song... As for Dave - with all due respect - but his solo music and side-projects, away from the golden-era Eurythmics, are in most cases downright dull. Of course, his creative choices are his own but I really don't remember much, barely a few pieces, especially those released under his own name that remotely stood out to be as striking as those that Annie made on her own. That said, I need not explain which one I personally prefer more - "Lily Was Here" or "Love Song For a Vampire" :)
Das absolut beste!! Kenne keinen Song. Der so sexie ist wie dieser. Die Stimme, der Sound, der Hintergrund, einfach genial. Stehe auf Rock, aber Ausnahmen gibt es immer.....
This song came out in my Sophomore year of high school. Eurythmics were really new back then so all we'd heard at this point was Sweet Dreams. We were blown away by the 1984 movie's soundtrack (all written/performed by Eurythmics). Great remix BTW.
How had you not heard the four hits singles between Sweet Dreams and Sexcrime? Love Is a Stranger, Here Comes the Rain Again, Who's That Girl? and Right By Your Side? You couldn't have missed Here Comes the Rain Again. It was played constantly and is still played today.
Although commissioned for the film, most of their material was not used. It was a little scandal at the time, with most people thinking all the Eurythmics tracks should have been used in the film.
Great song. And probably the most important book written in the last 100 years. Frighteningly, it's as pertinent as ever. Sandra Newman's brilliant 'Julia' is the story told from the female perspective. Really hope they make a movie of it.
I bough5 this record long version in 1984 and wud dance ro it fir hrs waa only in my early teens and i still get a blast fron it today Love love love this song ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m discovering more and more great stuff about the 1980’s now. I was born in July 78 so most of my formative years were in the 80’s but I barely remember any of it clearly. So it’s great having stuff like this to show me how it really was. They say the 80’s was the decade that taste forgot, or was that the 70’s ? Anyway people are very rude about the 1980’s but it was a fantastic time to grow up, despite the lingering prospect of mutual nuclear ☢️ destruction still hanging over our heads from the 1960’s
De la folie ce titre, a l'époque dans les night club comme tant d'autres car ca n'arrêtait pas de sortir tube après tube, difficile de tout suivre lolMerci pour ce remix qui nous fais savourer plus longtemps ce titre.
Yeah, I've owned this on 12" LP for many years now. Dave and Annie having provided a large amount of non-album content in the pre-digital age, I tried to collect what I could find. Now days, it's easy to just find that kind of stuff here on YT. At one point, my brother stumbled across a cassette of the 1984 album and bought it and gave it to me, thinking I might not have it. I did, but having the tape kicking around led me to listen it a lot more than I otherwise have. Now, this particular version of the title track was not on that tape, but I think I already was very well familiar with it by that time.
There were A LOT OF VERY BAD THINGS going on in the brutal 1980's. The year 1984 in particular. Thank goodness for music of this quality, dignity and class.
In the '80s decade we had artistry and the Capitalist economy investing in music, film and cultural development/ Moreover, the arduous struggles of previous decades fortify the invincible human spirit/ Christian Anarchy is the solution/ Christian Anarchy precedes natural human evolution/
Not sure if that was an original remix, it felt a bit choppy in some places. But nice to finally hear an extended 1984 after wanting to hear one for about 40 years..

Annie can sing,no questions asked. She is the queen of the 80s. Eurythmics will rock forever, one of the best ever!!!!
.....99,9% Agree.
And I was 13 in 84'
Yes a great vocalist of her time.....but sadly not THE greatest!?
Dave Stewart is a underrated musical genius combined with the sensational Annie Lennox makes a strange magic. The only crime is that this song wasn't a bigger hit!!
Annie and Dave were like Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder; The breakthrough engineering made an amazing vocal talent even better.
They didn’t reach success overnight. So glad they persevered.
40 years later! God this is a great mix
i discorvered for the first time
Eurythmics with this song in 1984 when i was 14. Love from Bordeaux France.

30 Years old. How can that be? The Eurythmics are in a class of their own. Annie Lennox can certainly sing, shes one of the best ever.
Almost 40 years old now.

I respect Annie Lennox greatly, but I note not many mentions of Dave Stewart - without which Eurythmics would never have existed! Just sayin...

Annie Lennox is by no doubt the best female vocalist of the last 30yrs. Nothing or no one beats her
Kassandra Heywood maybe...k.d.lang...

Apart from Lisa Gerrard.
She's cool...but I also loved Sinead O'Connor

Yep.... He wrote it in '48!

I like this tune. I did not know there was an extended version.
Every song in the 80’s had a extended version
