1984 Singles # 44 Eurythmics

 

'Here comes the rain again. Falling on my head like a memory. Falling on my head like a new  emotion...'                                                                                       

I had mixed feelings about Eurythmics at the time but have since realised how good some of their early stuff is. Particularly, the power and projection of Annie Lennox and the resonance and ahead of its time quality of several of their singles and albums. Not to mention their image and Lennox's sexual persona.

I bought Touch in 1984 on the strength of Here Comes The Rain which still sounds as fresh of a field of spring daisies. The lyrics are sensational. So is the tune. You don't agree. Well write something better yourself. 

I tired of Lennox and Stewart and their Pop Product over the years, But a listen to Here Comes The Rain, for the first time in years this morning was enough to remind me how skilled they both were. I enjoyed it so much I left Touch running and didn't regret that decision for a moment.
