Links Are Dead - I Know

I keep getting Emails from people asking me to re-upload the links and music etc. I think people are just getting to those particular pages so are not reading the reason for the dead links.

So I am putting this in place so hopefully people will read it and stop Emailing me about it.

The reason the links are dead is that my account with Media Fire has been closed with all 11,000 files lost. That is why you can not download the things and No I can not re-upload them.

Eventually I will start doing that again when I have found something suitable. In the meantime this blog will be information only blog.

Thank you all

Eurythmics - There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart)

'There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)' is a song performed by British musical duo Eurythmics.

It was written and recorded by band members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart for their fifth studio album Be Yourself Tonight (1985), and features a harmonica solo by American singer Stevie Wonder.

The blues-influenced song was released as the album's second single during the third quarter of 1985 and became a worldwide success; most notably in Ireland, Norway and the United Kingdom, where it became the duo's only chart-topping single to date.

Ever since the record has been covered by several musical artists, including Brittany Murphy, Fantastic Plastic Machine, Leningrad Cowboys, Luciano Pavarotti, Kylie Minogue and, most noticeably, German pop group No Angels who scored their second number-one hit in Austria and Germany with their interpretation for the reissue of their album Elle'ments in August 2001.

Upon its release, 'There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)' became Eurythmics' first (and to date only) number-one single in the UK, also topping the charts in Ireland, Norway and Brazil. While the song peaked at number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, it became another Top 10 success for the band in Sweden, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Austria and Australia.

The song's music video was one in a long line of innovative clips from Eurythmics. In the clip, Stewart portrays Louis XIV of France in the Court of the Sun King, while Lennox appears as a singer brought forth to perform and entertain the King. Bored at first, Stewart eventually becomes enthralled with Lennox's performance as the song reaches its conclusion. The video clip features elaborate costuming and set design.

Eurythmics - 1984 - For The Love Of Big Brother - OST Album

'1984 (For the Love of Big Brother)' is a soundtrack album by Eurythmics, containing music recorded by the group for director Michael Radford's colour remake film version of George Orwell's classic dystopian novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. Virgin Films produced the film for release in its namesake year, and commissioned Eurythmics to write a soundtrack.

Lennox and Stewart worked as a duo for these recordings, with no contribution from other musicians. The music, whilst containing many electronic elements, was far from being "synth pop"; Stewart described some tracks as being like "Kraftwerk meets African tribal meets Booker T and the MGs."

Unknown to the group, Radford had commissioned his own orchestral score, and was not fond of Eurythmics' work. Two versions of the film were released, one featuring Eurythmics' music, and the "director's cut", which replaced most of Eurythmics' music by the orchestral score. When accepting an award for the film, Radford publicly complained of having Eurythmics' music "foisted" on him. Eurythmics issued a statement that they had accepted Virgin's commission in good faith, and would never have done so if they had known that it was not being done with the director's approval.

Most of the tracks are instrumental, with song titles and lyrics of two songs on the album being derived from Orwell's text. For instance, "I Did It Just The Same" is taken from a passage in the book where the protagonist, Winston Smith, relates how he committed "sexcrime" with a prostitute—initially deceived by her makeup, when he got close to her, he realised she was "about fifty - but I did it just the same". "Julia" was the name of Winston's lover. "Sexcrime" and "Doubleplusgood" are examples of Newspeak, the revised version of the English language spoken in Orwell's story.

Two singles were released from the album, the punchy pop track, 'Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four)', and the long, gentle ballad, 'Julia'. The former was a top 10 hit in most territories, however, 'Julia' achieved little commercial success.

The album reached number 23 in the UK Album Chart.

Tracklisting:
01 - I Did It Just the Same
02 - Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four)
03 - For the Love of Big Brother
04 - Winston's Diary
05 - Greetings from a Dead Man
06 - Julia
07 - Doubleplusgood
08 - Ministry of Love
09 - Room 101

Eurythmics - Would I Lie To You

'Would I Lie to You?' is a song recorded by British pop duo Eurythmics. It was written by band members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart.

Released in the UK and the U.S. from Eurythmics' fifth album 'Be Yourself Tonight', the song was the first by the duo to feature their change in musical direction from synthpop to rock and R&B. The song, and its accompanying album, featured a full backing band and relied less on electronic programming.

Lyrically, the song features Lennox confronting a cheating lover as she leaves him for good. As she declares that she is "walking out the door" and he doubts her, Lennox's response is "would I lie to you honey? / now would I say something that wasn't true?"

The music video was heavily shown on MTV, the clip beginning with an angry confrontation between Lennox and her boyfriend (during which he calls her a "bitch"), just prior to a Eurythmics performance.

After some friendly encouragement backstage from bandmate Stewart, the full band performs the song, only to have Lennox's boyfriend return to the venue, climb up onto the stage, and get pushed off into the audience by Lennox. Steven Bauer played the part of the boyfriend.

'Would I Lie to You?' is one of Eurythmics' most recognized tunes. The song continued the bands hit singles run. In the UK, the song peaked at number 17, while it went to number five on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, becoming their third Top 10 hit in the U.S.. Furthermore, it is the duo's biggest ever hit in Australia, where it topped the singles chart for two weeks.

Eurythmics - Sex Crime

'Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four)' is the 11th single released by the Eurythmics.

It was written by group members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart for their album 1984 (For the Love of Big Brother), which served as the soundtrack to the film Nineteen Eighty-Four, an adaptation of the political novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell.

The single peaked at number four on the UK singles chart, becoming Eurythmics' sixth song in a row to enter the Top 10. It was also a big hit throughout Europe and became one of the duo's biggest selling singles in Australia.

'Sexcrime' met with resistance on United States radio — its title and bleak lyrical content did not earn mainstream success. The music video (featuring a straightforward performance of the song by Lennox and Stewart) had limited rotation on MTV. It peaked at number 81 on the Billboard Hot 100, but was much more successful on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart, where it reached number two.

Eurythmics - Julia

'Julia' is a song performed by British pop duo Eurythmics. It was written by group members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart for their album 1984 (For the Love of Big Brother), which served as the soundtrack to the film 1984, an adaptation of the political novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. The song was produced by Stewart and was the second and final single released from the album.

The song is a ballad with very sparse electronic instrumentation and an almost a cappella performance by Lennox. Her vocals are accentuated by vocoder effects in the background. The title and lyrics of the song are based upon the novel's heroine and love interest, Julia. The cover artwork for the single is a still image from the film, featuring English actress Suzanna Hamilton as Julia.

Breaking a string of six consecutive Top 10 hits, 'Julia' peaked at number forty-four on the UK singles chart.

Eurythmics - It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back)

'It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back)' is a song recorded by pop music duo Eurythmics. It was released as the fourth and final single from their album Be Yourself Tonight. Written by band members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart, the track's distinctive brass arrangement was devised by Michael Kamen. The recording was produced by Stewart.

'It's Alright' was a slight return by Eurythmics to the electronic-based sounds of their earlier albums. Driven by a subtle drum machine track, Lennox sings a straightforward ode to a lover returning to her after a long absence. The instrumental passages feature some elaborate multitracked harmony guitar parts from Stewart. The song's music video, directed by Willy Smax, was a mix of live shots with computer animation, an innovative look for a music video in the mid 1980s. At the start of the music video Lennox can be seen lying on a bed experiencing an out-of-body experience.

The single was a Top 20 hit in the UK, where it peaked at number twelve. The song was not a success in the United States, stalling at number seventy-eight on the Billboard Hot 100.

Eurythmics - Touch Dance - Album

'Touch Dance' is a remix album by the British pop duo Eurythmics. This mini-album (or EP) was released by RCA Records in May 1984 (though it was not released in the U.S.) and contains dance remixes of four tracks from Eurythmics' 'Touch' album, by John 'Jellybean' Benitez and François Kevorkian, who were noted producers in the New York club scene. It also includes three instrumental mixes.

Annie Lennox has said in interviews that she disliked the record, as it was too much of a commercial product and was put together by RCA with little involvement from herself and Dave Stewart.

01 - The First Cut - Kevorkian Vocal
02 - Cool Blue - Jellybean Vocal
03 - Paint a Rumour - Jellybean Vocal

Eurythmics - Right By Your Side

'Right by Your Side' is a song by British pop duo Eurythmics. It was written by group members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart and produced by Stewart. The track was released as the second single in the UK from Eurythmics' third album Touch. 'Right by Your Side' was the third single released from the album in the United States.

'Right by Your Side' was both lyrically and sonically different than the other songs on the Touch album as well as past singles released from the band. It is an uptempo love song which features a calypso music instrumental backdrop, complete with synthesized steel drum and marimba sounds as well as a horn section.

'Right by Your Side' became the fourth consecutive Eurythmics single to hit the Top 10 of the UK singles chart. It also climbed to number 29 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

Eurythmics - Who's That Girl

'Who's That Girl?' is a song recorded by British pop duo Eurythmics. It was written by Eurythmics members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart and produced by Stewart.

'Who's That Girl?' was the first single released in the UK from Eurythmics' third album Touch and the second single from the album in the United States.

The track is a heavily-synthesized ballad in which Lennox takes the role of a suspicious girlfriend demanding to know who the various women are with whom she has seen her lover associating. The song became Eurythmics' third Top 10 single in the UK singles chart, peaking at number three. In the United States, 'Who's That Girl?' was released as the follow-up to the Top 10 'Here Comes the Rain Again' and it climbed to number twenty-one on the Billboard Hot 100.

The music video became a heavily-played clip on MTV and further showcased Lennox's gender-bending image. In it she appears as a nightclub singer performing the song (complete with 1960s-era blonde flip wig) and also as a man who is a member of the audience. Stewart appears in the video, flirting and carousing with various women. Although they became romantically linked years later, Stewart's future wife, Siobhan Fahey, appears as one of the women and the other two members of Bananarama also make cameo appearances.

Other "girls" include Cheryl Baker and Jay Aston of Bucks Fizz, Kiki Dee, Hazel O'Connor, Kate Garner of Haysi Fantayzee, Thereza Bazar of Dollar and Marilyn. Ironically Jacquie O'Sullivan appears in the video — she would, four years later, become Fahey's replacement as a member of Bananarama.

In the end of the clip, the female-Lennox is shown kissing the male-Lennox.

Eurythmics - Touch - Album

'Touch' is the third album by the British new wave duo Eurythmics, released on November 26, 1983. The album was the duo's first UK number-one album, and also reached the top 10 in the US. It has since been certified Platinum in both countries.

By this time, the duo had achieved international success with their hit single 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)'. The follow-up, Touch, was reputedly recorded and mixed in only about three weeks at Eurythmics' own London studio facility, The Church. In addition, 'Touch' was also the first album to be released simultaneously on record and on the then-new CD format in the United States.

The album featured the singles 'Who's That Girl?' (number 3 UK, number 21 US), 'Right by Your Side' (number 10 UK, number 29 US) and 'Here Comes the Rain Again' (number 8 UK, number 4 US). The music video for 'Who's That Girl' featured a variety of British stars (including Stewart's future wife, Siobhan Fahey of Bananarama) and also featured Lennox playing both a man and a woman. At the end of the clip the male-Lennox kisses the female-Lennox. Lennox later reprised this image dressed up as Elvis Presley for the 1984 Grammy Awards.

On November 14 2005, SonyBMG repackaged and released Eurythmics' back catalog as "2005 Deluxe Edition Reissues." Each of their eight studio albums' original track listings were supplemented with bonus tracks and remixes.

In 2003, the album was ranked number 500 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

02 - Regrets
03 - Right By Your Side

Eurythmics - Love Is A Stranger

'Love Is a Stranger' is Eurythmics' fifth single, and like its predecessors, was initially a commercial flop, although it later became a worldwide hit when it re-entered the chart following their commercial breakthrough with 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)'.

It was produced by David A. Stewart and Adam Williams and was self-financed at Eurythmics' 8-track facility in Chalk Farm.

The song has a fairly sparse, up-tempo arrangement. It uses the rare Movement Systems Drum Computer and various synthesizers (providing bass, melody lines and sound effects), including the Suzuki Omnichord, combined with Lennox's strident multi-tracked vocal harmonies. The song is also punctuated with vocal grunts of "uh!" from Stewart.

The single was re-released in 1991.

The single release was accompanied by a striking music video, in which Stewart acts as chauffeur for an androgynous Lennox, who plays the role of a high-class prostitute. During the course of the video, Lennox removes a curly blonde wig to reveal her trademark, close-cropped, ginger hair underneath. This caused controversy in the USA, as some people mistakenly thought Lennox was a male transvestite so the video was banned in some parts of the US.

The single B-side was 'Monkey Monkey', a stripped-down electro track featuring a sparse drum machine and sequenced synthesizer arrangement, with Lennox's vocal heavily electronically processed. The bass-line consists of a rhythmically shifting motive permutating against the drum pattern. Lennox plays with half-articulated fake-French soundings and extremely long intonations.

Eurythmics - The Walk

'The Walk' was Eurythmics' fourth single released in 1982 and produced by band member David A. Stewart and Adam Williams (ex-bassist of The Selecter), self-funded at Eurythmics own 8-track home studio.

As with their previous three singles, it was a commercial failure, reaching only number 89 in the UK Singles Charts.

The group filmed their second music video to accompany the single. As yet, this video has not been released commercially. The music video features Lennox wearing a trench coat, and performing in a room with Stewart sitting reading a newspaper.

Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) - Album

'Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)' is the second album by British music duo Eurythmics, released on January 21, 1983.

After almost two years of initial commercial failure for Eurythmics, this album became a commercial breakthrough for the duo on both sides of the Atlantic. The title track became particularly popular and it remains one of Eurythmics' most recognisable songs, and its music video, popular on MTV in the United States, is memorable for Annie Lennox's gender-bending imagery. In the wake of this success, the single 'Love is a Stranger', previously a flop, was rereleased and became a hit as well. It too was accompanied by a striking video, which featured Lennox dressed both as a man and a woman.

Dave Stewart, together with Robert Crash and ex-The Selector bassist Adam Williams, produced the album in Eurythmics' own relatively primitive 8-track studio, winning awards for the quality of the end-result which belied its low-budget origins. Sweet Dreams saw the duo move away from the psychedelic, guitar-tinged band-orientated sound of their 1981 debut album 'In the Garden', instead focusing on raw analogue synthesizers (including the Oberheim OB1 and EDP Wasp) and drum machines (particularly the Movement Systems Drum Computer, which featured a graphic visual display of the drum patterns). Whilst the "synth pop" genre had grown in popularity in the preceding years, it was often associated with all male groups and somewhat clinical, emotionless music. Eurythmics (particularly with Lennox's vocal stylings) brought a soul music twist to the electronic sound, which proved popular with broader audiences.

Tracklisting:
01 - Love Is a Stranger
02 - I've Got an Angel
03 - Wrap It Up
04 - I Could Give You (A Mirror)

Eurythmics - This Is The House

'This Is the House' was Eurythmics third single, recorded in 1982 on their own 8-track home studio in north London, built with a personal bank loan from group member David A. Stewart's bank manager rather than record company support.

Although the following year it was included on the group's hugely successful 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)' album, the single itself was a commercial flop, failing to chart. No music video was made for the single.

The recordings were produced by Stewart and Adam Williams, ex-bassist of Two Tone Records band The Selector. They showcased a new sound and direction from the group, focusing on synthesizers and drum machines as opposed to the psychedelic guitar-based band sound of their 'In the Garden' album.

Eurythmics - Here Comes The Rain Again

'Here Comes the Rain Again' is a song by British pop duo Eurythmics. It was written by group members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart and produced by Stewart.

The song was released as the third single in the UK from the album Touch and in the United States as the first single. It became Eurythmics' second Top 10 U.S. hit, peaking at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. 'Here Comes the Rain Again' hit number eight in the UK singles chart, becoming their fifth consecutive Top 10 single.

The track is similar in musical style to past Eurythmics singles and its melancholy lyrics draw a comparison between the painful and tragic feelings of unrequited love with falling rain. Notably, the group adorned the recording with the composition and arrangement skills of Michael Kamen, resulting in more natural feel to the overall finished product (versus the heavily synthetic aesthetic of the Sweet Dreams album and its singles).

Stewart explained to Songfacts that creating a melancholy mood in his songs is something he excels at. He said: 'Here Comes The Rain Again' is kind of a perfect one where it has a mixture of things, because I'm playing a b-minor, but then I change it to put a b-natural in, and so it kind of feels like that minor is suspended, or major. So it's kind of a weird course. And of course that starts the whole song, and the whole song was about that undecided thing, like here comes depression, or here comes that downward spiral. But then it goes, 'so talk to me like lovers do.' It's the wandering in and out of melancholy, a dark beauty that sort of is like the rose that's when it's darkest unfolding and bloodred just before the garden, dies. And capturing that in kind of oblique statements and sentiments."

The string arrangements by Michael Kamen were performed by members of the British Philharmonic Orchestra. However, due to the limited space in the studio, the Church, the players had to improvise by recording their parts in other parts of the studio. Once the improvisations seem to match the finished synthesized track, the song was mixed by having the orchestral tracks laid down on top of the original backing track.

During Eurythmics reunion "Peacetour" they performed an in-studio concert for the A&E Network in the U.S. Dave Stewart revealed that the lyrics to the song came into being after an argument between himself and Lennox while they were doing some songwriting in New York City's Columbus Hotel. The basic melody had already been written and Lennox looked out the window after their fight and noticed it was starting to rain. She announced, "Here comes the rain again."

The running time for 'Here Comes the Rain Again' is in actuality about five minutes long and was edited on the Touch album (fading out at approximately four-and-a-half minutes). Although it was edited even further for its single and video release, many U.S. radio stations played the full-length version of it. The entire five-minute version did not appear on any Eurythmics album until the US edition of Greatest Hits in 1991.

The music video, featuring Lennox and Stewart, was directed by Jonathan Gershfield and released in December 1983, a month before the single came out. The video opens showing The Old man of Hoy on the Island of Hoy in the Orkney Islands, with Lennox walking along the rocky shore and cliff top and later entering a derelict cottage in a nightgown, holding a lantern. In many scenes the two are filmed separately, then superimposed into the same frame. The result is that the viewer may perceive one as being a ghost in the world of the other.

A Very Special Christmas - Album

'A Very Special Christmas' is the title of an ongoing series of Christmas music compilation albums that benefit Special Olympics. It features songs performed by artists from a variety of genres, such as U2, Stevie Nicks, Bon Jovi, Madonna, No Doubt, Whitney Houston, Run–D.M.C., Willie Nelson and Bruce Springsteen.

The first album was released iin 1987 and was the brainchild of music producer Jimmy Iovine, who wanted to produce a Christmas album as a memorial to his father. The idea of the record benefiting Special Olympics was suggested by Iovine's wife Vicki, as she was a volunteer for the organization.

Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss, the founders of A&M Records, along with Bobby Shriver, helped the Iovines realize the project. Since the release of the first album, the series has raised over $100 million for Special Olympics, more than any other benefit series. The album cover art is designed by artist Keith Haring.

01 - The Pointer Sisters - Santa Claus Is Coming to Town
02 - Eurythmics - Winter Wonderland
03 - Whitney Houston - Do You Hear What I Hear?

Eurythmics - Never Gonna Cry Again

'Never Gonna Cry Again' was the debut single release from Eurythmics, taken from their debut album 'In the Garden'. It achieved little commercial success, managing number 63 in UK singles chart, especially compared to Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart's previous hits with The Tourists.

The single release was accompanied by Eurythmics first music video, a medium for which they would later receive notable acclaim. As of 2009, the 'Never Gonna Cry Again' video remains commercially unavailable, although stills from it were used for the sleeve art of the 'In The Garden' album, and footage from it can also be seen during the song 'Jennifer' on the Sweet Dreams video album. The music video features Lennox walking about on a beach in a red dress.

The single sleeve design featured an eerie picture of Lennox made up to look like a gargoyle.

Co-produced by respected krautrock producer Conny Plank, the recordings also featured two members of krautrock band Can.

Musically, 'Never Gonna Cry Again' is a moody, melancholic number. It is notable for containing a flute solo performed by Annie Lennox, one of the few times that Lennox was to use the instrument in her pop career, despite having studied it at the prestigious Royal College of Music in London. The song also is based around a reggae style bass line, a musical trait that numerous new wave bands experimented with at the time.

The single's B-side, 'Le Sinistre', is an experimental piece, featuring musical arrangements more akin to a horror movie soundtrack than a pop record.

Eurythmics - Belinda

'Belinda' was the second single from Eurythmics, lifted from their debut album 'In the Garden'. It was a commercial flop, despite being one of the more accessible and poppy songs on the album.

No music video was made for the single.

Produced with respected producer Conny Plank, and featured members of Can, and also Robert Görl of D.A.F., who was romantically linked to Lennox at the time.

The B-side, 'Heartbeat, Heartbeat', is a pounding uptempo krautrock number.
