There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart)

Eurythmics · Be Yourself Tonight

La la la la la la..Dara dada...La la la la la la...Dara..dada!
Yeah!

No-one on earth could feel like this.
I'm thrown and overblown with bliss.
There must be an angel.
Playing with my heart.
I walk into an empty room.
And suddenly my heart goes "boom"!
It's an orchestra of angels.
And they're playing with my heart.

(Must be talking to an angel)

No-one on earth could feel like this.
I'm thrown and overblown with bliss.
There must be an angel.
Playing with my heart.
And when I think that I'm alone.
It seems there's more of us at home.
It's a multitude of angels.
And they're playing with my heart.

Chorus repeats.

I must be hallucinating.
Watching angels celebrating.
Could this be reactivating.
All my senses dislocating?
This must be a strange deception.
By celestial intervention.
Leavin' me the recollection.
Of your heavenly connection.

I walk into an empty room.
And suddenly my heart goes "boom"!
It's an orchestra of angels.
And they're playing with my heart.

Yeah..La la la la la la...Harder..Harder...La la la la la la..Harder..Harder..Yeah!

There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart)

Released on the 1983 album Be Yourself Tonight, this track by Eurythmics stands as a defining example of the duo's synth-pop evolution. The song features the distinctive vocal interplay between Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart, blending new wave sensibilities with a driving, electronic rhythm that became a staple of the era. While often associated with their earlier work, its inclusion on a live compilation highlights its enduring status within their discography. The recording captures the band's ability to craft atmospheric soundscapes that balanced commercial appeal with artistic innovation, cementing their reputation as pioneers of the genre during the early 1980s.
