Lifted
Eurythmics · Peace
Walk through the dark
Just when you feel that
Your day fell apart
Stay strong
Keep holding on
Clear skies ahead and the dark day is done
Keep on lifted
Keep on lifted
I wish you everything
That you could want
Just when the day finds you
Turned back to front
Stay clear
Rescue is near
When you feel
That youÂ’re drowned in despair
Keep on lifted
keep on lifted
YouÂ’re a bird in the sky now baby
Earthbound
Feet on the ground
Now you can find peace at last
Now you can find peace at last
Lifted - Eurythmics
Released on the 1987 album Peace, Lifted stands as a defining track in the synth-pop canon, showcasing Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart's signature blend of electronic textures and emotive vocals. The song exemplifies the duo's ability to merge atmospheric production with lyrical depth, capturing the essence of the late 1980s sound while maintaining a distinct identity separate from their earlier hits. As a key component of their discography, Lifted demonstrates the band's evolution during this period, utilizing synthesizers and drum machines to create a sonic landscape that remains influential in modern electronic music. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to evoke nostalgia and emotional resonance, cementing its place in the catalog of essential pop recordings from the era.
