17 Again
Eurythmics · Peace
You in all your jewellery and my bleeding heart
Who couldn't be together and who could not be apart
We should've jumped out of that airplane after all
Flying skyways overhead it wasn't hard to fall
And I had so many crashes that I couldn't feel at all
And it feels like I'm seventeen again
Feels like I'm seventeen again
Time might break you, god forsake you, leave you burnt and bruised
Innocence will teach you what it feels like to be used
Thought that you'd done everything, youdidn't have a clue
And it feels like I'm seventeen again
Feels like I'm seventeen again
Looking from the outside in some things never change
Hey hey I'm a million miles away
Funny how it seems like yesterday
All those fake celebrities and all those vicious queens
All the stupid papers and the stupid magazines
Sweet dreams are made of anything that gets you in the scene
And it feels like I'm seventeen again
And it feels like I'm seventeen again
Yes it feels like I'm seventeen again
Seventeen, seventeen again yeah yeah yeah
Sweet dreams are made of these
Who am I to disagree ?
I travelled the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for somehing yeah
17 Again
17 Again stands as a reflective song in the Eurythmics' discography, appearing on their 1999 album Peace. The track captures the duo's signature blend of synth-pop and emotional introspection, marking a period where Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart revisited their established sound with renewed maturity. Released during a time when the band was exploring more subdued and personal themes, the song fits within their broader catalogue of exploring identity and memory. While not one of their most commercially dominant singles, it remains a significant recording that showcases their ability to craft atmospheric pop with lyrical depth. The work continues the legacy of their innovative approach to production, maintaining the electronic textures that defined their earlier hits while embracing a more contemplative mood characteristic of their later output.
