17 Again
Eurythmics · Boxed [2005]
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
Eurythmics' "17 Again" stands as a defining track from their 2005 reissue, "Boxed," which curated their extensive discography for a new generation. The song reflects the duo's enduring commitment to their synth-pop roots while revisiting themes of youthful rebellion and emotional intensity that characterized their 1980s work. Produced by Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart, the recording blends the band's signature angular rhythms with a polished production style that bridges the gap between their early experimental phase and their later mainstream appeal. As a staple of their catalog, "17 Again" serves as a testament to the group's ability to reinterpret their own legacy, maintaining the dramatic vocal delivery and electronic textures that made them iconic. It remains a powerful example of their enduring influence on the genre, capturing the spirit of a specific era while resonating with listeners decades later.
