| I Saved the World Today - 1999 |
| Directed by Sophie Muller, I Saved The World Today was the first new Eurythmics video in ten years. The song deals with the universal struggle human beings face in trying to better their world. Using war and peace as a metaphor, Dave, Annie, and the band perform as an army outfit, with an orchestra comprised of military brass. The video starts off dark and melancholy as Annie ruminates about selfishness and indifference. As the song reaches its peak, Dave and Annie attempt to sign a peace treaty - but things go awry when ink is spilled all over the document and their efforts are halted. The video then becomes an exercise in joyful cynicism as Annie, Dave and the band gleefully end the song with upbeat irony - a pat on the back for an attempt to do something that is never fully realized.

| 17 Again - 1999 |
| "17 Again" is the second Eurythmics video from the album "Peace." Directed by Dave Stewart, the video is alternately disturbing in its imagery and critical in its commentary. A companion piece of sorts to "I Saved The World Today" in terms of set design and costuming, the clip ignited some controversy when first presented to VH-1 and was reportedly shown thereafter in an edited version. In the video, a camouflage-clad Annie and Dave, along with the Peace Army band, are again performing in a large concert hall when suddenly war erupts and everyone is pelted with gunfire. Symbolizing the attacks and intrusions that artists and celebrities must endure by the media and fans, the video delivers a pointed commentary on public irresponsibility. With it's "Matrix"-style photography and graphic gunfire images, "17 Again" is ground breaking and definitely unlike anything Eurythmics have done in the past. It is a unique and worthy addition to their impressive collection of cutting-edge music videos. Directed by David A. Stewart |
