We Too Are One
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.

The King & Queen of America - 1989
In one of many guises featured in this
witty video, Dave and Annie poke fun at
the cult of celebrity.  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.

Angel - 1989
A good reference point for the idea
behind this controversial clip is the 1964
British cult film "Seance On A Wet
Afternoon."  This video was reportedly
censored by MTV for its occult imagery.
