| 1989's "We Too Are One" was to be Eurythmics last album before Annie and Dave embarked upon successful solo careers. Its warm, sophisticated rock and pop sound foreshadowed the direction Annie would take as a solo artist. Dave's prominent singing on the single "(My My) Baby's Gonna Cry" hinted at his Spiritual Cowboys solo album to come. As the 80s came to a close, Eurythmics were still breaking new ground musically and visually. |

| Don't Ask Me Why - 1989 |
| The sophisticated video for Don't Ask Me Why seems inspired by the night club scenes in David Lynch's film "Blue Velvet". By the time Eurythmics had started recording We Too Are One, Annie and Dave had been together so much that they couldn't even be in the same room with one another. Interestingly enough, there is a subtle element in this video in which an unseen presence approaches, intruding upon or coming between, the both of them. Directed by Sophie Muller |
| The King & Queen of America - 1989 |
| Donald and Ivana Trump, Pat Sajak and Vanna White, George and Barbara Bush, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans...just a few of the many lampoons featured in this witty video, wherein Dave and Annie poke fun at the cult of celebrity and the so-called icons of American or Western life. Reported complaints by irate American radio listeners, who felt that the U.S. and its lifestyle were being mocked, contributed to the single's lack of airplay in the U.S. Directed by Willy Smax |
| Angel - 1989 |
| The video for the ballad "Angel" has Annie and Dave participating in a seance, presumably to contact the spirit of a lost loved one. A good reference point for the idea behind this controversial clip is the 1964 British cult film "Seance On A Wet Afternoon", as the imagery of the video seems inspired by the film. There is a suggestion in the video that the seance participants are drinking tea or coffee laced with something, as there is a repeated visual of some substance being dropped into cups before being served. The video ends dramatically with Dave rescuing a reluctant Annie from a burning room, indicating that perhaps her contact with the other side did not go as positively as had been expected. Reportedly censored by MTV for its occult imagery, the video aired on VH-1 in the U.S. back in early 1990. Directed by Sophie Muller |

| We Too Are One |
| Revival - 1989 |
| (My My) Baby's Gonna Cry - 1989 |
| The first single in Europe from We Too Are One was also a video first for the duo - a light-hearted semi-choreographed dance clip showcasing the vagabondish-look of the Revival tour. It was a bit odd at the time to see Dave and Annie acting so...normal. The song is interpreted fairly literally in the video and ends with a bizarre turn from Dave Stewart. Directed by Sophie Muller |
| The video for "Baby's Gonna Cry" is an interesting collage of images taken from the Revival tour and woven together into a cohesive whole by long-time video collaborator Sophie Muller. Perhaps the most interesting thing about this video is the playful animosity between Dave and Annie, who were soon to go their separate ways and embark on solo careers. Directed by Sophie Muller |
