I saw Annie Lennox perform this song in the Tampa Theater a historic landmark built in the 1920's. It's an ornately decorated movie theater that seats just 1252 people, so just imagine how personal and intimate this concert was being ninth row center stage. Annie was getting ready to go on tour and was perfecting her act (no need to). Her singing was sublime! It was by far the best concert I have ever been too. She spoke to the audience, and was so personable, so real. With her it's 'what you see is what you get', she was absolutely amazing!
Annie Lennox always seemed, to me, so much more complex than most of the other female artists that were popular in the 80s. You’ve helped me understand why I was always so fascinated with her!
I doubt you will see this but I agree with you 100%...Sometime I saw a news show about her life now, she is a truly wonderful person, just amazed me...she is such a treasure!
I remember watching this in 2000 and when she stops, turns, looks at the audience and smiles --- I thought I was going to lose my mind. Audience was eating out of her hand!!!! Raw Power and something few artists truly have. #FreakinAmazing
Fil Annie is a gem giving a masterclass in song performing!!!!! I think her ability to connect with the crowd is nearly unmatched in music!!! I think she is brilliant and her beauty comes out of her heart!!!
Thanks Fil!!...I grew up on Annie Lennox and The Eurythmics!!!.... brilliant songwriting, musicianship and the unmistakable tone and emotion in her voice! I remember hearing about her solo album Nostalgia, so I bought it and oh yes how she can take another person's song and completely make it her own!! Devoted humanitarian as well!! ✌❤🤘
This song came out just after my husband of 14 years died @ age 39. I cried to this song for a very long time. Ironically it’s still a favourite. (Some would hate the connection to sadness). It’s on my fav list on Spotify. I love this live version, thank you.
April S I am so sorry for your loss. I know you will remember him daily with or without music. I too think of Joe when I hear forever young as well I am now 60 & 39 was young, he’d be 66. So many songs invoke memories-good & bad, I cannot go a day without good music. I really enjoy Fil, he adds an extra level to my enjoyment of great tracks.
@@kathypiazza4567 it's been thirty years for me. You get comfortable talking about your loss but, something comes out of left field that brings brings the sadness back for a while. I adore Fil, too. My 'mama bear' comes out whenever anyone trashes him. Take care
One of the best voices to emerge from the 80s. This song and performance are new to me - thank you Fil! My favorite Annie Lennox song was "There Must Be An Angel Playing With My Heart" - what vocals on that one! Also loved the profound and liberating duet she did with Aretha Franklin - "Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves." Annie was called Androgynous during the 80s but I always thought she was very feminine. Thanks again, Fil.
Three years after your comment, but yes, what Fil says about not being able to learn how to sing like this is SO true, sadly-in a way. I love to sing and I have a good voice. I’ve performed live, was the lead in a rock musical that was well received years ago, but the character in her voice is something that I *ache* to have been born with. No exaggeration. The yearning is not unlike having feelings for someone you’ll never, *ever* have a chance of even meeting in a lifetime. Performing and having an audience enjoy you is wonderful, it can bring a sort of high. But to have Annie’s God-given voice come through her must be incredible. And how her voice has been “aging” , what a treasure that has no bottom to it.
Never seen this captivating footage of Annie Lennox, excellent analysis again. thanks Fil, keep Rockin' out with great talents from all generation and genre.
I've had such a crush on her for 30 years. She so talented. Such an amazing performer. Thanks for the break down on this performance. Your videos are such an integral part of my day, these days. Thank you for doing these videos.
I ADORE Annie Lennox!! I had the pleasure of seeing her in concert when The Eurythmics toured Australia in summer 1986/87. Her vocal prowess is incredible and totally unique. She's a brilliant artist as well as a beautiful human being. Annie carries a very special energetic frequency which is her undefinable X factor. (I also had short spiky hair and wore androgynous clothes like her at that time too!)
Notice how all the reviews of classic pop or rock etc needs to look back at least 20-60 years ago. As an old dude from the 60s - 70s in my prime and a music lover, I am so saddened that the Music Industry and today's culture has murdered great music. I try to like today's popular music, I really do but the majority is just crap. Sorry if that offends, today's music is crap, I'm sure there's talent but the system and culture is the crap.
Wow! What a powerful performance from a powerful vocalist. Deep, rich, and pushing emotional boundaries in oh so many directions. Love that she is a stand-up human being as well. Thanks, Fil!
Fil, a superb breakdown of Annie's unique voice and her emotional connection with her music. I thoroughly enjoyed this performance... I had a lump in my throat when it ended....WOW!!!!
I think what you are trying to describe about the feeling that your "hair is standing on the back of your neck" is from the vibration of certain music & vocals that is directly connecting to your soul in complete harmony..... what else could it possibly be?
@Fil...You said everything spot on. Annie is Super...She is a Power that makes a lasting impression in Heart & Soul. When she gets on a microphone she lifts her audiences to Higher Ground!!! 😎👍🏾..... 🎶🔥♥️🔥🎶
Soul.. That"s what Annie has.. Such soul.. Overloaded with it! Her cover of the Clash song "Train In Vain" grabbed my attention in the 1990's and I bought the cd since I've always been a Clash fan since back when Combat Rock came out in the early 80's! Of course I've loved Annie since before her solo stuff as well.. Such a talent! And a human! Great video as always Fil!
Oh Fil, Annie Lennox is as commanding a performer as I have ever seen, whether with Dave Stewart or solo. Her voice just radiates throughout any venue. She can sing anything- rock, r&b, and sing it with conviction. Keep up your trip through outstanding female performers- would love to see you analyze Heart's 1978-79 live performance of Crazy on You featuring Nancy Wilson's masterful acoustic intro.
Outstanding analysis video of one of the greatest artists of all time. Thank you for reading comments for ideas. This is the perfect suggestion and exactly the right video to revisit the Wilson sisters performing with original lineup. Roger Fisher's masterful use of vibrato is overlooked. Again, the tribute to Led Zeppelin was great but early Heart was pure magic.
You are exactly right. Years ago, I walked into the local Tower records store looking for the just released Eurythmics CD. As I walked in the door, I could hear her voice on a completely new song over the store speakers. Told the clerk, where can I find that CD? lol. Completely distinctive voice. LOVE her. You should do her "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" Xmas song,, what a trip it is. I loved 'Diva' and really loved "Medusa"
This is in response to fellow listener Jay Edward's criticism of the direction of the channel. I can somewhat understand Jay's disappointment in the change of focus for the channel as i too began listening because of all of the analysis being given to guitar players. As a guitarist i was initially attracted to the channel because of the in depth technique discussion. However i suppose there are only so many times you can analyze Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughn and other guitar gods without the channel becoming stale and redundant. By opening up the channel to a wide range of artists Fil has not only expanded his audience he has also broadened all of our musical horizons. Fortunately for me i have been a fan of or have at least appreciated nearly every artist featured. Some more hard rock or metal would be appreciated though ha ha! The bottom line is that listeners and fans of this channel are all very lucky to have discovered it. Fil is unquestionably the most talented music analysis host on UA-cam.
James harris , found Fils channel when listening to Molly Tuttle doing Gentle on my Mind, Fils analysis of Glen Campbell’s big hit popped , not certain but think under 10000 subs then , now over 80thou and counting, just the best
I learned something today. There are other analyses videos on You Tube? Haha. Every once in a while I will watch another one. For about 20 to 30 seconds. I can't remember the first video I saw of Fil, but I kept coming back, and now I know why.
Thanks James! Yeah I think the bigger the audience becomes, the more broad the suggestions become. But you know I'm always going to lean towards the guitar! 🤘
Annie’s voice has the ability to draw emotions out of you that you never knew you had and bring tears to your eyes from Bring back sad memories that you thought were long ago forgotten
Intensity, and distinctiveness added with that unusual tonal quality make her unique. ONLY a few female voices have those qualities. But her personality and strength of character come through in her performance. Amazing lady.
I don't know who you are; I just found your channel, but you are much more fun to watch! You obviously enjoy what you are doing! I especially like the older performers: Everly Brothers, Elvis, Orbison, Animals. I would love to see _You've Lost That Loving Feeling_ by The Righteous Brothers even though they do not play instruments, Louie Louie_ by The Kingsmen, and _Lovesick Blues_ by Hank Williams. Thanks for the videos! Greetings from the USA!
Annie is a national treasure. Far and away the best female vocalist of her generation and she's still knocking them dead. God bless her, she's incredible. 🙋♂ ❤
One of the greatest vocal delivery amazing, full of passion you can tell she feels every lyric of the song she is singing. That's rare in this day and time, Beth Gibbons and thom yorke also have that ability
American actress, Pam Dawber, once said, “A woman can have everything. But she can’t have it all at the same time.” She was specifically referring to child rearing. My respect for Lennox stepping down to raise her kids increases into the stratosphere. Annie does have it all. I need to go back and reacquaint myself with her recent music. It may seem silly, but good music is more enjoyable for me when I also learn the musician is a good citizen on this planet. Thanks Fil!
The Eurythmics, I was hooked and blown away so much by her voice and you are absolutely right that her voice you immediately recognize whether she's doing one of her hits or covering somebody else's♡I I will try and find it as she did a really great performance with David Bowie and the two of them together was magical, wonderful woman and a wonderful analysis Fil !!
Annie is not only a great artist but a great human being as well. She is a passionate performer and her vocal range is incredible - I think three octaves. Thank you so much for this video and for including her humanitarian work because it's such an important part of who she is.
One of the iconic women of my lifetime - such a unique artist, and like Cher, a rare contralto in an industry full of female sopranos. She's had so many valleys and mountains in her own life too; it makes her so real and present. Not really relatable as such, she's too unusual, but she connects emotionally. This song has been so much on my mind lately. It's the soundtrack for those times when you have so much hidden emotion, and feel isolated by it, but Annie always tries to connect with those difficult and unreachable places within us. She wasn't pretending that life's a bed of roses.
@@jayedwards1205 Yes, just had a listen. Really warm, rich voice. Lisa Gerrard is another extraordinary contralto - she sang on the soundtrack to Gladiator.
A true artist can perform a song like this thousands of times over, and still perform it with such emotion and expression. I love her voice, her piano, and what she stands for. She is a humanitarian and spends a lot of time making life easier for the less fortunate. Thank you for another one Fil! You da man!
I agree with and appreciate the reference to the other women artists of the eighties. She was different, stood out style wise, and that was partly why I loved her. What also captured me was her voice and charisma. I absolutely love Medusa and her vocal range on that album. Thank you for reminding how much I enjoy and love this absolutely one of a kind artist and voice
Another enjoyable analysis! One of the top vocalists there is, love listening to her perform a variety of different tunes. I really enjoyed the live performance by Annie and Bowie doing "Under Pressure."
Jay Edwards....Obviously he's a lot more qualified than your smart ass! Feeling a little jealous?,it shows! Jay Edwards....Why don't you take your "Ego" and your hurt feelings and put them where the sun doesn't shine!...that way,you can keep your "brain" company!
I have always loved her voice, from the very beginning.. remember I'm 71 That said she really, at least for my, hit it out of the park when she went solo with . Medusa and Diva. No one has ever done a whiter shade of pale and No More "I Love You is a killer
Thanks, Fil, for bringing Annie Lennox to all of us on UA-cam. Annie has one of the most remarkable voices in all of contemporary music. She not only has technical expertise as a vocalist, but she just pours out raw emotion. I am also inspired by her humanitarian efforts: She was a strong supporter of Nelson Mandela and has promoted AIDS research & other worthy causes.
People for get how much the industry has changed, and when you listed off her achievements, it reminded me how hard artists had to graft back then. Annie Lennox live is hypnotic, because you can see her craft that sound, and it’s a great lesson to any young artist. It’s a lesson inn how to emote. Work with what you’ve got, and build your own sound.
Thanks for this one, Fil -- how I love Annie Lennox! Being a young woman who enjoyed dressing w/an androgynous flair, in fitted men's suits, Annie represented great feminine strength w/an artistic vulnerability that made her so relatable to me. And what an amazing performer w/a distinguishable, multilayered voice and incredible musicianship. "Why" and the entire roster of songs on that album are mini masterpieces -- just beautiful!... The Eurhythmics remains one of my favorite groups, as well... Wonderful analysis, as always, Fil! From Harlem, New York -- Rock! ✌🏽💖🎶🎵
Part of why I always connected to her voice/songs is that I believe she's felt every thing she's emoting & saying. If it's something you've been through or felt, you recognize it & it resonates.
Hi Fil. Thanks for this analysis. Thanks for reviving old memories. With your analyses I now realise how fortunate I am to have witnessed such wonderful artists across all genres of music.
Thanks for honouring the women of rock and Annie is one of top ones. I was shocked when I first saw the clip for Love is a Stranger - Annie was unusual and alluring all at once.
"Sweet Dreams" by the Eurythmics?-- I think that's the name of the song that I remember her singing from way back. I love that one. I like her clear voice. It carries well and has a beautiful tone.
I'm new to your channel, I'm favourably impressed by your evaluations. Your comments are always kind, you never needlessly shred in order to raise yourself above and I like that. You're a gentle soul with great depth of musicality and an impressively broad knowledge base. Best regards from Melbourne, Australia. 🌺💖😎
I’m not always interested at first at Fil’s choice of songs to review, but he is so good, so perceptive and so enthusiastic that I’m won over every time. The expression on his face shows that he’s really into it. I love Annie Lennox so it was a nonissue on this song.
Lots of people do this on UA-cam and do it well, but Fil is the best in my opinion. Maybe an obscure choice of Duncan Browne would be cool. I saw today that Browne had a wonderful Old Grey Whistle Test from 1973 and Fil’s analysis would be of great interest. Duncan Browne looks like he could have been Fil’s uncle too.
Such an automatically recognizable powerful voice full of emotion and soul! Multi talented surreal Annie! A unique artistic gift to the world of music. Timeless! Her solo albums all masterpieces engrained in my memory...like a warm summer nights sunset on my lakeside home. Such beauty. Brilliant! Thank you Annie. Thank you Fil for your knowledgeable review my friend😎😁🎹🎵🎶

All good ones Candy the ones that aren't will not be featured.
Here here ...wonderful stuff !

A fantastic artist who deserves all the accolades she receives. Thank you Fil.
Phil. Your a good spirit.
Really enjoy these breakdowns
Keep up the great job 👍
Annie has a powerful voice that resonates, this was a great performance.
this is an awesome analysis of a true legend! great work again - love what you do
I so appreciate that you analyse without trashing the artists you show us and that you point out what makes them good and unique.
Annie Lennox on my list of top ten favorite female vocalists/musicians. She has it all. Thank you 🙏
You described her so well, what a song this was and remains 😌. Her tone can be very dark to very light and naturally, a true chameleon.
This song came out just after my husband of 14 years died @ age 39. I cried to this song for a very long time. Ironically it’s still a favourite. (Some would hate the connection to sadness). It’s on my fav list on Spotify. I love this live version, thank you.
Have the same type of connection with Rod Stewart's 'Forever Young". It was popular at the time my son died in a car accident.

@@aprils6589 Amen, and me too!
Love Annie she gets wicked stage fright performing live has been challenging throughout her career. We saw her at MSG in NYC she was fantastic 👍🏻👍🏻❤️
That sucks that she’s been performing live all these years and still gets stage fright! 😳❤️
Her cover of "Whiter Shade Of Pale" by Procol Harum is amazing..🦇
Yes, yes and yes.
No Doubt!
Definitely
Agreed. I also think her cover of "A Thin Line Between Love and Hate" is beyond amazing
Omg, yes please♥️

Love your analysis of this remarkable woman. Annie Lennox is so gifted. She was and is a positive role model for young women.
She's still great role model for young women. Still out there fighting for women's rights. Amazing.
See her play many rivers to cross live.. another phenomenal performance
She is my favorite female vocalist ever.

Annie Lennox's voice was a huge part of the soundtrack of the best years of my life. I miss them (the years and the artists) deeply.
As soon as I heard and saw the Eurythmics I was a fan. She outlasted her New Wave image because she’s spectacularly talented. Thanks for this Fil.

So good of Fil to start analysing female singers now as always very informative
Hi Fil. Nice work spotlighting Annie Lennox. She's always so brave in her performances. Definitely a warrior princess.
You getting emotional like I do, great Fil you're a fine person
Another enjoyable analysis! One of the top vocalists there is, love listening to her perform a variety of different tunes. I really enjoyed the live performance by Annie and Bowie doing "Under Pressure."

your "Ego" and your hurt feelings and put them where the sun doesn't shine!...that way,you can
keep your "brain" company!
Annie Lennox is a lady who's delivery of lyrics is second to none. Your "all-in-one" description fits her perfectly. Great video!
I have always loved her voice, from the very beginning.. remember I'm 71 That said she really, at least for my, hit it out of the park when she went solo with . Medusa and Diva. No one has ever done a whiter shade of pale and No More "I Love You is a killer
I put my finger on this. She is totally unique. That's what makes it a great song.
Wallsmarts original Exactly!
Talented lady. Such emotion when she sings. She gives me chill bumps! Her piano playing is just as emotional. Perfect selection! Thank you 🙏
I remember the first time Sweet Dreams video came out on Mtv. She left a lasting impression on my brain.
Thanks, Fil, for bringing Annie Lennox to all of us on UA-cam. Annie has one of the most remarkable voices in all of contemporary music. She not only has technical expertise as a vocalist, but she just pours out raw emotion. I am also inspired by her humanitarian efforts: She was a strong supporter of Nelson Mandela and has promoted AIDS research & other worthy causes.
Almost in tears watching this. Thanks as always for reminding us of the brilliance of artists like Annie Lennox. Top notch analysis as always. Bravo!
People for get how much the industry has changed, and when you listed off her achievements, it reminded me how hard artists had to graft back then. Annie Lennox live is hypnotic, because you can see her craft that sound, and it’s a great lesson to any young artist. It’s a lesson inn how to emote. Work with what you’ve got, and build your own sound.
Thanks for this one, Fil -- how I love Annie Lennox! Being a young woman who enjoyed dressing w/an androgynous flair, in fitted men's suits, Annie represented great feminine strength w/an artistic vulnerability that made her so relatable to me.
And what an amazing performer w/a distinguishable, multilayered voice and incredible musicianship. "Why" and the entire roster of songs on that album are mini masterpieces -- just beautiful!... The Eurhythmics remains one of my favorite groups, as well...
Wonderful analysis, as always, Fil! From Harlem, New York -- Rock! ✌🏽💖🎶🎵
Part of why I always connected to her voice/songs is that I believe she's felt every thing she's emoting & saying. If it's something you've been through or felt, you recognize it & it resonates.
Hi Fil. Thanks for this analysis. Thanks for reviving old memories. With your analyses I now realise how fortunate I am to have witnessed such wonderful artists across all genres of music.
Eurythmics was one of my favourite band in the 80s.Good memories.Annie have a great voice.
Fil you really nailed it on this analysis. Rock on!
One of my all time favorite performances. I'm so glad you're carrying this masterpiece forward for more people to access.
Oh my! Just found this! You chose the exact song that I hoped you would! Thank you so much!!!!
Would so love for you to analyze the guitar skills of Earl Klugh. He is so under appreciated. Annie Lennox is so pure she brings tears to your eyes!
Love Annie! Thank you, FiL! Well done my friend. 👍🏻👍🏻✌🏼
Soul pure joy
Poetry. She is speaking and singing her Poem. I love her voice. Whatever she sings, belongs to her.
I think what Phil might be trying to say is: It's hard not to love Annie Lennox.
Thanks for honouring the women of rock and Annie is one of top ones. I was shocked when I first saw the clip for Love is a Stranger - Annie was unusual and alluring all at once.
"Sweet Dreams" by the Eurythmics?-- I think that's the name of the song that I remember her singing from way back. I love that one. I like her clear voice. It carries well and has a beautiful tone.
Yes I can see why you had a hard time stopping. It was absolutely mesmerizing.
She is literally the best artist ever! Blows my mind.
Wow, that is a really grand grand piano!
Nice analysis! Annie is a force to be reackoned with. She's a fav of mine.
Excellent analysis Fil !! Annie has one of the most distinctive voices ever. Been a fan for eons is seems.
this song tears me up everytime
so glad she went solo the group was holding her back
Another great analysis, fantastic performer and song/music composer
Thumbs up for Annie Lennox, with her strong voice. Agreed, she would maintain being different and cutting edge, thus always able to stand out.
Thank You very much for your knowledgeable reviews and evaluations. They are really helpful and fun to watch!
I'm new to your channel, I'm favourably impressed by your evaluations. Your comments are always kind, you never needlessly shred in order to raise yourself above and I like that. You're a gentle soul with great depth of musicality and an impressively broad knowledge base. Best regards from Melbourne, Australia. 🌺💖😎
I’m not always interested at first at Fil’s choice of songs to review, but he is so good, so perceptive and so enthusiastic that I’m won over every time. The expression on his face shows that he’s really into it. I love Annie Lennox so it was a nonissue on this song.
Lots of people do this on UA-cam and do it well, but Fil is the best in my opinion. Maybe an obscure choice of Duncan Browne would be cool. I saw today that Browne had a wonderful Old Grey Whistle Test from 1973 and Fil’s analysis would be of great interest. Duncan Browne looks like he could have been Fil’s uncle too.
Such an automatically recognizable powerful voice full of emotion and soul! Multi talented surreal Annie! A unique artistic gift to the world of music. Timeless! Her solo albums all masterpieces engrained in my memory...like a warm summer nights sunset on my lakeside home. Such beauty. Brilliant! Thank you Annie. Thank you Fil for your knowledgeable review my friend😎😁🎹🎵🎶
Great review Fil as always 👌. Annie Lennox is one unique talent. I wish I could do that with my original music.
