Eurythmics were a British pop duo consisting
of members Annie Lennox and Dave
Stewart. Stewart and Lennox were both previously in The Tourists, a band
which broke up in 1980; Eurythmics were formed later that year in Wagga Wagga,
Australia. The duo released their first studio album, In the Garden,
in 1981 to little success, but went on to achieve global success when their
second album Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This),
was released in 1983. The title track became a worldwide hit which topped the charts in various countries
including the US. The
duo went on to release a string of hit singles and albums before they split up
in 1990. By this time, Stewart was a sought-after record
producer, while Lennox began a solo recording career in 1992 with her debut álbum
Diva.
After almost a decade apart, Eurythmics reunited to record their ninth album, Peace,
released in late 1999. They reunited again in 2005 to release the single "I've Got a Life",
as part of a new Eurythmics compilation album, Ultimate Collection.
The duo have won na MTV Video
Music Award for Best New Artist in 1984,
the Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or
Group with Vocal in 1987, the Brit Award for
Outstanding Contribution to Music in 1999, and in 2005 were inducted into the UK Music Hall
of Fame. The Eurythmics have sold an estimated 75
million records worldwide. In 2017, the group was nominated for induction into
the Rock &
Roll Hall of Fame, and were nominated again in
2018.
"Love Is a Stranger" is a song by
the British pop duo Eurythmics. Originally released in late 1982,
the single was commercially unsuccessful, but it was re-released in 1983,
reaching the UK top 10. The single was re-released again
in 1991, to promote Eurythmics' Greatest Hits album.
Love is a stranger
In an open car
To tempt you in
And drive you far away
Ooh, love is a
stranger
In an open car
To tempt you in
And drive you far away
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession
Love is a danger
Of a different kind
To take you away
And leave you far behind
And love love love
Is a dangerous drug
You have to receive it
And you still can't get enough of the stuff
It's savage and it's
cruel
And it shines like destruction
Comes in like the flood
And it seems like religion
It's noble and it's brutal
It distorts and deranges
And it wrenches you up
And you're left like a zombie
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession
It's guilt edged
Glamorous and sleek by design
You know it's jealous by nature
False and unkind
It's hard and restrained
And it's totally cool
It touches and it teases
As you stumble in the debris
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession.
