#9 - 1980's Sounds - The Eurythmics As the early 1980's progressed into 84 & 85, MTV was a big thing for us teens. Carol and I loved going to her house after school and watching the videos hoping to see our favorites. One British band that stuck out to me at the time was the Eurythmics. At the time ,I thought Annie Lennox had an unusual look, but it didn't matter. She kinda had that David Bowie androgynous look, if you ask me, but boy, did she have some pipes! Her pipes caught your attention. The look taped into curiosity, and the lyrics made you think. Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) was a song that really resonated with me at the time, especially the following lyrics: Sweet Dreams are made of this Who Am I to disagree? I travel the world and the 7 seas Everyone's looking for something. The beat was catchy and infectious but "Who am I to disagree?" that really hit hard. Those lyrics phrased as such behind the beat - I often come back to them when I need to pause and evaluate a situation. I've always tried not to be too judgmental of anyone and anything. Now mind you, I do have things that resonate right and wrong for me, but I'm a firm believer in "You do you, Boo." -- I respect you for who you are -- but be respectful back and let me "Be me, Boo." That's what I took away from the Eurythmics and it's something that's echo'd throughout my journey in life. THE EURYTHMICS Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) |
