Free Music Review: Eurythmics: Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) (1983)
Hit: 5 Stars
In early 1983, two years after releasing their first album, Eurythmics released their second album entitled, SWEET DREAMS (ARE MADE OF THIS). This album had Eurythmics gain a massive following of fans around the world. This album is very enjoyable, just as their first album had been.
LOVE IS A STRANGER
The third single from the album. I had first heard this song when I had first receive Eurythmics' greatest hits album. This is not quite what I had hoped for, but I would say that this song is a favorite of mine.
I'VE GOT AN ANGEL
I have said this many times and I'll say it again: Any song where the word 'Angel' is in the title, then the song has got to be outstanding. I was almost right about this one. This is not a bad song, but it could have been better.
WRAP IT UP (duet with Green of Scritti Politti)
I could definitely do without this song.
I COULD GIVE YOU (A MIRROR)
Great.
THE WALK
The second single from the album. Great.
SWEET DREAMS (ARE MADE OF THIS)
The fourth & final single from the album, as well as the album's title track. This is a cult classic all the way, despite the fact that it reached the #2 spot, instead of the #1 spot. In 1995, Marilyn Manson had did a cover of this song and he did an amazing job of it. He kept the same sound concept, but he made it heavy, draggy, and spooky to fit his image more. His rendition can be found on his 1995 album entitled, SMELLS LIKE CHILDREN.
JENNIFER
This is a moving ballad. I am not sure of what it means, but I can easily relax to this song. The thing that I find hard to understand is that there is only one verse and one bridge. The lyrics to the verse are, "...Jennifer, with your orange hair, Jennifer, with your green eyes, Jennifer, in your dress of deepest purple, Jennifer, where are you tonight? Jennifer, where are you tonight...?" That verse is said twice in the beginning and then leads into the bridge, where the lyrics to the bridge are: "...Underneath the water. Underneath the water. Underneath the water..." After the bridge, the verse is said one final time.
THIS IS THE HOUSE
The first single from the album. Great.
SOMEBODY TOLD ME
Not bad.
THIS CITY NEVER SLEEPS
Great.
Now, as I had stated before, SWEET DREAMS (ARE MADE OF THIS) is on the same level as its predecessor, IN THE GARDEN. But this album featured a different sound: a synethesized 80s Pop & Rock sound, which is what makes it just as great as IN THE GARDEN.
Free Music Review: Awesome CD! Groundbreaking
Hit: 5 Stars
For those of you who prefer the looping synthesizers of Tiesto this cd is not for you. It's too old skool but brilliant nonetheless, kinda like amoby meet sinead o connorFree Music Review: Esta Es La Casa...
Hit: 5 Stars
Before U2 singing in 2004 ?uno dos tres catorce...(Vertigo)? there were Eurythmics singing ?Esta es la casa ...this is the house?; now, how groundbreaking was that back in 1983 an english band would utter some lyrics in spanish?
The songs are top-notch, I prefer the obscurities here: ?somebody told me? has a really sexy beat; ?I 've got an angel? is pure 80's rhythm; and ?I Could Give You ? is so damn catchy with its ?...how can you be so cold ? ....? phrase, it makes me wonder why it was not realeased as a single or at least made it to the Eurythmics'greatest hits album.
Ah, and the opening song ?Love Is Stranger?, what can I say about this out-of-this-world song? That I have used toothbrushes, mops and brooms to sing it at home when nobody sees me,for over a lifetime.
Fantastic album. They should come up with more newborn music!!!
Free Music Review: Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This
Hit: 5 Stars
A fantastic album! Wonderful songs like "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" are briliant, and just play through your head long after you've heard them. Masters of their form, their music bombines 80's rock with entrancing dance music melodies, to really great effect. Anyone who loves real music would love this classic album. Fice stars, all the way!
