Daily Boom 80's Throwback: Eurythmics 'Here Comes The Rain Again'

Stunning Photo! "Here Comes the Rain Again" is a 1984 song by British pop duo Eurythmics. It was written by Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart.

Here comes the rain again
Raining in my head like a tragedy
Tearing me apart like a new emotion

I'm not sure how it is wherever you're reading this from, but it seems to be raining everywhere this week.  Not that I mind it. I actually seem to be more productive when it rains. The weather also reminded me of a favorite 80's song by the Eurythmics. "Here Comes the Rain Again" hit the charts back in 1984, you know, when synth music was in its heyday and for good reason.

I still remember the very first time that I heard this song. I was in middle school and had gone to a friend's to do homework. We were watching Entertainment Tonight and back then the show would often end with a video premiere. Truth be told, they really would only show one verse of the video but it was still kind of a big deal. One verse was plenty for me though and by the end of that same week my allowance was being spent on the 45 which I played constantly.

"Here Comes the Rain Again" easily remains one of my favorite Eurthmics songs to this day. Check out the video below and tell me, is it one of yours too?

Daily Boom 80's Throwback: Eurythmics - 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)'


"Sweet dreams are made of this
who am I to disagree?"

What's it like to have your very first song released in the U.S. shoot to number one? Just ask Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart, otherwise known as Eurythmics. In 1983 a little ditty named "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" launched like a new wave rocket to the top of Billboard's Hot 100, making the duo a household name. They were wise enough to already understand the power of good visuals and dropped a great video with an androgynous looking Lennox sporting an orange crew cut and suit. It leaves a lasting imprint and so does the song, right? The second it starts you know exactly what you're listening to. Even if "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" isn't a favorite song I'm going to bet that find yourself singing along to it because you kind of know the words,  don't you?
