This City Never Sleeps
Eurythmics · Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)
Of the underground trains
You know it feels like distant thunder
You know there's so many people
Living in this house
And don't even know their names
I guess it's just a feeling - in the city
Walls so thin I can almost
Hear them breathing
And if I listen in
I feel my own heart beating
I guess it's just a feeling - in the city
This City Never Sleeps
This City Never Sleeps stands as a compelling track from the Eurythmics' landmark debut album, Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This). Released during the early 1980s, the song captures the duo's signature blend of new wave and synth-pop, characterized by Annie Lennox's distinctive vocals and Dave Stewart's innovative production. The recording reflects the band's exploration of urban isolation and emotional resilience, themes that would become central to their broader discography. As part of an album that helped define the era's sonic landscape, the track showcases the group's ability to merge atmospheric textures with driving rhythms. It remains a testament to their early creative synergy and their significant impact on the evolution of modern pop music.
