Eurythmics – Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Everyone knows the 80’s Eurythmics classic “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This).” It’s been played countlessly on radio stations around the world for decades and is likely playing somewhere as I write this. This entry, however, is not about about that song, but actually about a more underrated Eurythmics cut which appears as the last track on this album. “This City Never Sleeps” transports you to a time and place. It’s a tune that perfectly captures the city atmosphere with sounds. Street field recordings, that catchy guitar lick matching the rhythm of steps, Lennox’s cold vocals echoing the cries of the people, the distorted screeching “car” guitar… “I guess it’s just a feeling. In the city!”
