Huge hit for them, this really was them at their peak. UK #8, US #4. This song is wonderful, the lyrics really hit home and Annie's vocal is controlled but emotional. Hard to believe people at the time accused her of having no soul!

I loved this song too! I really liked Annie's voice on this one.
The mix that was a medley with "Sweet Dreams" was my fave mix of it.

My favorite song by the Eurythmics would have to be the mid-charter "There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart)" from the late summer of 1985. Most of their other songs were way overplayed.

Literally perfection. I mean, everything here is just so right. And where can you get lyrics like this today in a top 5 hit?
Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

This is on my shortlist of all-time favorites. Near the tippity-top. Possibly on top.
Exquisite. Timeless.
Also the first record I ever bought for myself back in the days when I'd otherwise just record songs off the radio onto blank cassettes.

Stunning. One of the best singles of the 80s, and one of the greatest opening verses ever.

Their 2nd best track after "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of These)". Great song.

Don't you think The Eurythmics deserve to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?

These days going through a music adventure with their whole discography listening to each album again plus reading Dave Stewart's autobio book.
I will also later go as far back as The Tourists and listen to all their albums.
