The song was written by the singing
duo, Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart, from Britain. The two are known as the Eurythmics
when performing. The 1980’s were the age of music that was fast-paced and fun
to dance to. Many songs also had random words that were purely thrown together
just to rhyme, much like music that was released later in the Beatles’ career. This
piece was created to be a single for the Eurythmics album.
When you take a look at the lyrics, the song is talking about life as it is, saying that here we are in our existence, trying to make sense of our lives and to survive. The words say that some people who come into your life won’t be good to you and don’t have good intentions. It continues on to say that overcoming obstacles is just part of life.
This song expresses the time period by being one of the most famous songs from the 1980’s known for its dance-y beat and intriguing lyrics.
This song
doesn’t tell us any particular story of one person or emotion. It’s a blanket
song in that it was made and written to appeal to everybody who liked to dance.
This song also doesn’t tell us about any cultural things that were happening at
the time.
