Somebody Told Me

Eurythmics · Boxed [2005]

Somebody told me

Somebody told me

Somebody told me

Something about you

I didn't believe it

I couldn't believe it

I'm still reeling

'cause I just can't take the blow

Well there's laughter and love

And there's a lot of pain

I never wanna see your

Pretty face again

Full of forgiveness

You're just twisted

I'm a silly little saint

With a halo of smiles

But it makes no difference

Somebody Told Me - Eurythmics

Released on the 2005 compilation album Boxed, 'Somebody Told Me' is a track by the British synth-pop duo Eurythmics. The song exemplifies the group's signature blend of electronic instrumentation and dual vocal harmonies, a sound that defined their career from the early 1980s through the 2000s. While the band achieved global fame with earlier hits like 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)', this recording reflects their continued evolution in the digital age. The composition features the characteristic driving beat and atmospheric textures typical of the genre, showcasing Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart's enduring ability to craft memorable, emotive music that bridges the gap between retro influences and modern production techniques.
