Eurythmics, Annie Lennox, Dave Stewart - Sweet Dreams (are Made Of This) -

The Story of... 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)' by Eurythmics

Contrary to its "sweet" title, the song is an existential commentary on reality and the human condition.

Living in a small warehouse in North London, they were struggling to make ends meet. The iconic track was recorded in a makeshift using an eight-track recorder and a borrowed Oberheim OB-X synthesizer. Stewart had just survived surgery for a punctured lung and was in a manic, creative mood, while Lennox was deeply depressed. When Stewart programmed the now-legendary rhythmic sequence, Lennox "leaped off the floor" and began improvising the lyrics. Lyrical Meaning: A Nihilistic Mantra

In 1983, a haunting synthesizer loop and a striking, orange-haired singer in a man's suit redefined the pop landscape. "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" wasn't just a hit; it was a miraculous breakthrough for and Dave Stewart , born from the ashes of a failed band and a broken romance. The Desperation Behind the Dream

The song emerged during a period of professional and personal crisis. After their previous band, The Tourists, disbanded in 1980, Lennox and Stewart also ended their romantic relationship. They formed that same year, but their debut album, In the Garden , failed to gain traction.
