I was living in the UK when this came out. I was talking to a US radio consultant and predicted this would be a huge hit in the US. About six months later I was vindicated.
This is 80s synth-pop. Back in the day, it would have been part of the "new-wave" movement. This is the same genre that other bands Depeche Mode and the Cure. It was the transition step from what was rock/punk of the 80s, into the progressive/alternative/gothic/industrial music of today. This was one of the early stepping stones on the path from there to here. (Also, if you're reading this, I'd like you to listen to "color me once" by the violent femmes. Even if you don't do a reaction video to it, I still think it's something that you need to hear and would enjoy. Best version is on the soundtrack album for the movie the Crow)
You guys are cracking me up. A "Cello" (pronounced "chellow") actually makes the sounds you are hearing. It's an acoustic instrument and requires no electronic modification to sound that way. Love your videos! Keep up the good work. ;)
It can, especially an electrified cello, but they don't have those here. When Dave is playing it on screen, or pretending to, it's not the actual cello being heard, but synth. As for the "typewriter", Dave is pretending to play it (pressing random keys that don't necessarily correspond to what pitch is actually being played) for visual/aesthetic effect along with the sequencer.
Annie Lennox has such a gorgeous voice. This was the Eurythmics' first release. Annie did a video of a Welsh lullaby called Dream Angus. You might not feel like reacting to it, but it's lovely and really shows how beautifully she sings without all the techno noise going on. It's well worth a listen.
Dave Stewart was playing either a cello or a viola. Both are stringed musical instruments that, when played, have a low bass sound. When Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox were members of the British Pop Rock band, The Tourists, Stewart was the bass player in the group. When Lennox and Stewart formed Eurythmics, Stewart began playing lead guitar on many of the duo’s songs and instrumentals.
The instrument you're talking about IS the cello. It's got a lower tone than the violin and viola. The other instrument you're talking about is a synthesizer but not what was pictured in the video. The genre of music is in the 'punk' era, even though it doesn't sound like a lot of punk music that was produced.
Would it be New Wave? I was a teen when this song came out, and I didn't spend a lot of time trying to pigeon hole music by genre. I just knew what I liked.
A Movement Systems Drum Computer (which is the typewriter looking instrument in the video), Roland SH-101 synthesizer, and a Oberheim OB-X were used according to Wikipedia. Genre is Synth-pop which is a subgenre of new wave music. This song is one of the most successful songs of this genre. One of my all-time favorite songs. I think you would like more of the Eurythmics songs and Annie Lennox's solo music.
Keep delving into Annie Lennox. She has vaulted to international superstardom. (The "Typewriter" was an early computer when no one had them. At the time that this came out, electric typewriters were far more common than personal computers. Computers were just beginning to come into home use, and only the techie geeks had them. Synthesizers had been around for a while, but the electric synth sounds here were specifically sound designed in the early 80s to be new and cutting edge.)
Let's see a reaction to more of Annie lennox. Her song, "why," is beautiful. "I put a spell on you" when she was 60 years old at the awards show is a showcase of the power of her voice. She also did a duet with Aretha Franklin called, "sisters are doing it for themselves." 💕
That’s a cello and it is used in the song. That other thing is indeed an electric typewriter and it’s not used in the song. I believe if you listen to Annie Lennox’s solo work you’ll go nuts. She’s phenomenal. As others have suggested Walking on Broken Glass and Why are both great.
This song was from the early 80s so computers weren't commonly used to synthesize music so it was a nod to modern tech. This goup was ahead of it's time.
I cosplayed that specific Annie when I was 10. I have the photos, lol. I was totally sold on this song. When grownup I understood it a little bit better,lol. The genre is Synth/New Wave, typically 80's.
That was a cello in the video. For a jaw dropping live performance watch cello player Tina Guo and Joe Bonamassa on acoustic guitar playing Woke Up Dreaming. It is an EPIC “duel”!
Synths. They made huge gains in the 80's, compared to the dials and knobs on racks in the 70's. Video's from the 80's were some producer's idea of what the song meant. Only tangentially related to the actual music.
You need to listen to Annie Lennox put a spell on you with her warm smoking vocal on her single, "Why". The hypnotic wave will cast a numbing trance over you leaving your ears to slowly drown in the experience. The transformative visual in the official video is also beautiful.
Ok, my take when I first heard the song then, saw the video it's a weird dream "Sweet Dreams". It's more weird things not necessarily scary dreams, and it's being controlled doing same things. That's how the words of the song match up. This was way before The Matrix. That's a synthesizer in a particular mode one is hearing, it's not a string instrument although the mode is string sounding. Note this is a dream (the seeing eye masks & cows) so hearing/dreaming one thing, actuality is another. The keyboard one is sees someone typing is from the early PC days. Additionally, she's in a conference/meeting room throughout entire video. What see is not a musical instrument. It's a pointer used to point out bullet points, graphics or whatever during a visual presentation is; many now use a laser pointer. Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart wrote the song after the Tourists had broken up and they formed Eurythmics. Although the two of them also broke up as a couple, they continued to work together. They became interested in electronic music and bought new synthesizers to play around with. According to Stewart, he managed to produce the beat and riff of the song on one of their new synthesizers, and Lennox, on hearing it, said: "What the hell is that?" and started playing on another synthesizer, and beginnings of the song came out of the two dueling synths. According to Lennox, the lyrics reflected the unhappy time after the break up of the Tourists, when she felt that they were "in a dream world" and that whatever they were chasing was never going to happen. She described the song as saying: "Look at the state of us. How can it get worse?" adding "I was feeling very vulnerable. The song was an expression of how I felt: hopeless and nihilistic." Stewart, however, thought the lyrics too depressing and added the "hold your head up, moving on" line to make it more uplifting. Commenting on the line "Some of them want to use you … some of them want to be abused", Lennox said that "people think it’s about sex or S&M, and it’s not about that at all". Irony? She became depressed before writing this song, thinking never would be able to be successful. This song became their breakthrough hit, establishing the duo worldwide. Its music video helped to propel the song to number 2 on the UK Singles Chart and number 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It was the first single released by Eurythmics in the US. It's ranked on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time issue in 2003, "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" was ranked number 356. In 2020, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

The instrument is an electronic keyboard with effects on it. It's not really that complicated. The music you probably listen to has the same instrument but different sounds applied to it. You can use a keyboard as a MIDI interface and do anything you want with it. Make it play dog barks, people farts with a tone, or a Synthetic Strings sound on pitch.
Have you not heard Fanny? They were the first all-female rock band to be signed to a major label and release an LP. (5 in fact) The fact that they were female shouldn't confuse you. They were one of the tightest rockingest bands you will ever hear. Here is one of their own compositions. Prepare to be awe struck by the power of group interaction. ua-cam.com/video/Zcb1HpH42N8/v-deo.htmlm8s
@@lesliemergenthal75 Apple used their own operating system back then too. But yes DOS was just being released about the time this came out. Macintosh PCs were still a year or to in the future.
That is a cello but no that is a keyboard sound.Need to look at 2cellos doing AC/DC THUNDERSTRUCK.Not 100% sure but I think that was an indignant machine used in the ww2 it was a German code machine.
Walking on broken glass Official music video by Annie Lenox woman singer in this video to me video is it’s a party ex arrives with new lover ex is at party with her new lover is angry. Gets drunk and acts a fool while everyone laughs at her so she leaves partying anger
If you listen to hipster orchestra ua-cam.com/video/VZwLQgT2WBE/v-deo.html you will hear how Sweet Dreams will sound if it was done just string instruments and the cello you're talking about.
Dave is using a very early synthesiser - it's 80's electronic synth pop/ new wave. It's all electronic music apart for a bit of piano which Annie played. The instruments in the video are just for show.
Here comes the rain again was another huge hit for them, but Annie's solo career has produced some great music, my favorite song is primative from her Diva album it's totally different from most of her stuff, someone in the comments suggested you buy the album for your wife and I second that motion...♡
They were part of the New Wave movement / genre. Those are synth pads and string patches you hear. They were used a ton in New Wave. Former synth player here.
Oh wow one of my favorite songs 😍.. My mother made tape of music videos in the 80s for my birthday when I was kid and this was one of music videos too...
This song came out when I was 8. I found the lyrics so strange...why would anyone WANT to be used and abused...resulted in my interest & education in psychology. I was so intrigued by Annie Lennox. I had never seen a woman like her!
THORN IN MY SIDE was the best Eurythmics song, but after seeing how wonderfully James reacted to Hey Jude he really has to listen to the remastered version of The Move singing 'CALIFORNIA MAN'. That song is simply made for him, he will love it.
Loved your reaction, as always. Your mention of musical instruments prompts me to recommend a performance, which features an instrument that is not usually connected to commercial or rock music, and that you may have never seen or heard of: Patty Gurdy is the artist, song is "Over the Hills and Far Away" (First made famous by Gary Moore, a great guitarist, later covered by Nightwish). I am sure that the two of you will enjoy it. Not going to mention the instrument, because don't want to spoil the surprise.
Annie Lennox was a straight up bad-ass point blank. 💜🤘🔥
Annie Lennox's voice is legendary. This is timeless. Thank you
I was living in the UK when this came out. I was talking to a US radio consultant and predicted this would be a huge hit in the US. About six months later I was vindicated.
Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel really shows off Annie Lennox's voice and range
Into the west from LOTR also great!
There Must Be An Angel 👍🏻

I recommend “Tai Ted Love” as a follow up song in the same vein
Would I Lie to You she shows her soulful side and Here Comes the Rain Again is just BEAUTIFUL
You guys are cracking me up. A "Cello" (pronounced "chellow") actually makes the sounds you are hearing. It's an acoustic instrument and requires no electronic modification to sound that way. Love your videos! Keep up the good work. ;)
It can, especially an electrified cello, but they don't have those here. When Dave is playing it on screen, or pretending to, it's not the actual cello being heard, but synth.

If you want to give your wife a nice gift get her Annie Lennox’s album called Diva from 1992. She will love it.
I agree ! It's a gem 👍🏻

New Wave not Punk which stands for the new British Invasion. ‘New Wave of British artists.’
This was huge on MTV back in the day! Her look was unlike anyone else at that time.
This is such a classic. Puts you in a trance... hypnotic.
A Movement Systems Drum Computer (which is the typewriter looking instrument in the video), Roland SH-101 synthesizer, and a Oberheim OB-X were used according to Wikipedia.

This tune was very catchy for us back in the 80's too! It saw A LOT of play time, both on the radio and MTV.

When December comes back, listen to Annie Lennox covering Winter Wonderland. She manages to make Christmas super creepy.

Definitely Pop. That instrument is a cello. It's a great song! Thank you so much for reacting you guys❤
The Cello he was playing was either over dubbed by the synthesizer or the sound was modified through filters.
This group is considered New Wave.
Eurythmics! The whole Touch album rocks.
Its the electronic simulation of a bass fiddle or bass cello, I think.
Dave Stewart and Candy Dulfer... Lily Was Here is a good one....
Agree
You need to listen to Annie Lennox put a spell on you with her warm smoking vocal on her single, "Why". The hypnotic wave will cast a numbing trance over you leaving your ears to slowly drown in the experience. The transformative visual in the official video is also beautiful.
2 of my fav-favs are Why and Walking on Broken Glass. She’s an emotive story teller.
What a description!
I guess I should then
Annie Lennox's "Why" beautifully powerful.
I'd forgotten how much Dave Stewart looked like Annie Lennox...
At the midpoint in the song, what you heard was a synthesizer solo.
Man you guys get it👍🏻❤️ love it🙏
Genre: New Wave, all synthesizers. They are a deep well. Check out Annie Lennox, too.
Annie Lennox can wail. If you really want to hear her go off, check out Would I Lie to You.
Here Comes The Rain Again is a great one too
UK 80s pop

The cello makes the background "dumpa-dumpa"-sounds. Not the synth-sounding overtones, though. It's the "dubaduba du dubadubadu"
The sound is a synrhesizer. That's a Chello which is in the violin family.
omg I've got plenty of songs that you need to hear. Oooooo the 80's and the UK go hand in hand

You should definitely check out marilyn Manson version of sweet dreams it's amazing
Yes I agree. Not really into MM but it’s undeniably awesome!
You have to listen to Marilyn Manson's cover of this song. it's really cool.
like both versions personally, but definitely prefer Manson's cover
It’s really really awesome!
The instruments you see are violas, but that's not what you hear. You hear a synthesizer that's sounding kind of like violins or violas.
Alot of the sounds you heard were either instruments keyboards or a synthesizer.
Hello folks , nice to see you both again , hey gf 🤗
Euro-synth pop
Annie is the best 👏👏😎

I think anyone who loves Sweet Dreams would probably love their song Here Comes The Rain
Also Love Is a Stranger and This Is the House, This Is the Story.
Pure 80s sound. Hard to believe its nearly 40 years old.

I’m 15 again, hanging out with my friends just waiting for this song to come on the radio 😂 GREAT TIMES!!
Saw them in 86, Annie Lennox took the stage.
Dave Stewart was using a drum machine computer in the music video. Those things are collector’s items today.
Oh wow one of my favorite songs 😍.. My mother made tape of music videos in the 80s for my birthday when I was kid and this was one of music videos too...

Both of you are so authentic !!
