Adrian - don't you understand?
Fools like us are always dreaming.
And when you go to bed
And cover up your head
It's better if you try to stop remembering.
And the world is slowly dawning
To wake up to a new clear morning.
Some of them just half your age
Get written off, page by page...

It's better if you try to stop remembering.
Some of them just half your age
Get written off page by page...
And the world is softly sleeping
While your fears are in their keeping.
All the planet's making haste
To blow to bits in outer space...

Adrian - Eurythmics
Released on the 1983 album Be Yourself Tonight, Adrian is a defining track in the new wave and synth-pop canon. Written by Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart, the song showcases the duo's signature blend of atmospheric production and emotive vocals. Its haunting melody and driving bassline became a staple of the era's club culture, influencing countless subsequent artists across alternative rock and electronic music. The track remains a powerful example of how synthesizers could be used to create both intimate and expansive sonic landscapes, cementing Eurythmics' status as pioneers of the genre.
