Sweet dreams eurythmics meaning

sweet dreams trinix translated into spanish

However, the composers not only provide this perspective, but also the opposite situation. There are «some people who want to be used by you», there are other people who like to be humiliated by others. In them is present that masochistic idea mentioned earlier in this analysis. These people do not care about the person next to them, but about the sensations they make them feel or experience. Up to this point, a human figure is presented who has lost interest in others and the desire for socialization; he only cares about his own well-being and obtaining pleasure.

In the next part of the chorus this idea is reinforced by the next two statements of the narrator who affirms that «some people want to abuse you» and, the counterpart, «some people want you to abuse them».

But after recording three albums with the Tourist and achieving some renown in their country, they disbanded in 1980. At the same time the sentimental relationship between Stewart and Lennox also suffered, to the point of abandoning their life as a couple.

But musically speaking, Annie and Dave were meant to work together. Thus, they managed to unite again in a new musical project: Eurythmics, born in 1981. With the support of RCA, they recorded their first album, In The Garden, with which they toured their country.

letra de la cancion sweet dreams de eurythmics

That’s right, I’ve always lived with anxiety and had to deal with panic attacks and depression. I was terrified to go on stage. When I got off, I would lie down and think about every verse of every song I had sung, reviewing what I had done, before I could fall asleep. I’m a perfectionist and I had to calm down, realize I had done everything right and then I could relax. On the day of the concert I was terrified that I didn’t have the right voice or fitness.

sweet dreams meaning in english

We ended up writing a lot of songs… some were about their personal relationship and others were about their relationship with the world. Everything they wrote always had a dark side and a light side, which describes very well their musical style, full of ups and downs… just like life itself.

Eurythmics’ big commercial success came with their second album, Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), released in January 1983. And thanks to the song that gave the title to the album.  A great song that kicked off powerfully with a dark and powerful synthesized bass line.

Stewart and Lennox had very little money and were very fortunate that a bank made them a loan to buy some equipment and be able to make a record. They made the most of the little budget they had, bought an 8-track recorder and got a used drum machine that they had to go 200 miles away to pick up. But it was worth it… That drum machine cost them 2,000 pounds and only 30 had been manufactured in the world… Which is why they also decided to use it in the video. All this, plus a synthesizer and a keyboard served to make the base of the song.
