40th Anniversary of “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” by Eurythmics – Remember the Magnificent Music Video?

It was on January 4th, 1983 that the new-wave duo, Eurythmics, released their second album, which became an international wonder and topped music charts worldwide with the title track by same name. What to say about this gem of a song? Unforgettable, magnificent, catchy, smart.

The video was directed by Chris Ashbrook, and was filmed the same month of its release.

It was probably difficult for the critics to predict the durability Eurythmic’s music would demonstrate in time, as they seemed to still be eyeing them up back in the day:

They write dance songs about love, but the lyrics (“It’s jealous by nature, false and unkind”) don’t make love sound like anything worth dancing about. Yet both say they’ve never been happier than they are now. Obviously, there is more going on here than initially meets the ear.
Kurt Loder: Rolling Stone

Eurythmics was composed by Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart. The duo was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022.

Fue el 4 de enero de 1983 cuando el dúo de la nueva ola, Eurythmics, publicó su segundo álbum, que se convirtió en una maravilla internacional y encabezó las listas musicales de todo el mundo con la canción homónima.

El vídeo fue dirigido por Chris Ashbrook, y se rodó el mismo mes de su lanzamiento.

¿Qué decir de esta joya de canción? Inolvidable, magnífica, pegadiza, inteligente.

Probablemente fue difícil para los críticos predecir la perdurabilidad que la música de Eurythmic demostraría con el tiempo, ya que parecía que aún les echaban el ojo en su día:

Escriben canciones de baile sobre el amor, pero las letras (“Es celoso por naturaleza, falso y cruel”) no hacen que el amor suene como algo por lo que merezca la pena bailar. Sin embargo, ambos dicen que nunca han sido tan felices como ahora. Evidentemente, aquí hay más de lo que parece a primera vista.
Kurt Loder: Rolling Stone

Eurythmics estaba compuesto por Annie Lennox y Dave Stewart. El dúo fue incluido en el Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll en 2022.
