its funny how when some artists release a really great song or album, most of the time they can't beat it with another. i bet after the release of Sweet Dreams, people wondered if the Eurythmics could make another masterpiece like that, and they clearly did with Savage :)
WOW! SAVAGE is an amazing album. As many others have said, Annie is the greatest female vocalist of all time. I remember fondly in my youth (the 80's) being a loyal member of the D & A fan club and loving everything Eurythmics! D&A forever.
At the end there where she's completely fallen to pieces and you see a guy approaching from the shadows it's almost a re-enactment of the paragraph from Orwell's 1984 where Winston says "I did it just the same".
I wish someone at BMG would wake up and realize that the "Savage" video album is in the vaults, and that people would buy it if it were re-released on DVD.
Savage is a wonderful album, although my second favourite (lost to Be Yourself Tonight), that's was what Eurythmics were in the past and what I really liked them so much. Unfortunatelly the critics on that time didn't liked it, but how the album is perfect with the great tunes: Beethoven, Shame, Savage, I Need A Man, You Have Placed a Chill In My Heart....

I do not dislike white people, I dislike people that dislike any other person according to their skin colour or race. Tx for not deepening this more, feel free to ignore me...
in re of wickedwetcat's comment: i think annie lennox's great in everything. it's just a metter of what we prefer to see her in or see her as. she's offered something for everyone and that makes her truly great and unforgettable. this clip, besides, is now taken from the whole savage context which had a particular concept in mind. it fits perfect with the whole album and the rest of the videos. that's sophiemuller-annielennox craft at their best.
Anyone ever heard the interpretation of this song or what it's about? I listen to the lyrics but for whatever reason they don't merge into a logical conclusion for me. LOL
haven't heard what it's supposed to be about but to me, it's very andy warholesque, the main character looks uncannily like one of the regular trannies that hung out at his new york studio, where he would spend the day filming their every move
I think all of their albums have their own distinct styles and have something great in all of them, that was always the beauty of Eurythmics, I love all of their albums for different reasons. Savage is one of my favorites because they went back to their original style but updated and matured it even further. I love the Savage videos even more, one of the best compilations ever made, IMO.
"Savage" and "1984" are my two favourite Eurythmics albums. I love them both so much - and every single track on them - that I really can't choose one above the other.
Be yourself tonight is probably there best album Revenge was like BYTNtwo and as a result was a disappointment Julia from 1984 is a contender for there best song, Savage seemed to be a reaction to the commercialisation of BYTN,
It has some interesting tracks , but I wouldnt call it there best album.
I do not agree with you at all. I have perhaps listened to the song Julia once. Its is no way as good as other albums. I have just checked the record list on wikipedia - there are some grat songs on both the Revenge album and Be With You Tonight Album. I dont know which is best......but the I have read that the Savage album is the one D A Stuart and A Lennox are most proud of.....I love it because there is not another album like it in the world.....Live forever The Savage Album...
Eurythmics from back in the day. And yes Savage is my favorite album. But they were/are amazingly talented. No one sings like Annie, my favorite female vocalist of all time.
This song has a great Lou Reed/Bowie feel :The repetitive V.U. drone and the Bowie-like phrasing. Can you picture him doing it in a duet with Annie? :-)
Absolutely! I wonder how we can pressure RCA to put out a DVD. Nobody does this kind of concept album anymore, and it's such a priceless gem. One of the most creative things they ever did, and the beginning of Annie's amazing collaboration with Sophie Mueller.
Doesn't it seem like the real hard-core Eurythmcis fans always cite Savage as their favorite album? That's no accident.
I'm hoping at least one of them will eventually try to resurrect the DVD idea, as we fans so deserve it.
Savage is my fav album too...it has the great title track (which seems to me going into the direction of Dave's later solo work) and the fantastic "You have placed a chill in my heart" and "Shame". Great stuff!!
Doc Savage of the pulps has a sister named Pat Savage. This song could be representative of the character - athletic, businesswoman, high fashion, model, etc. What do you think?
Savage video collection should be released on DVD IMO, maybe in a 2-fer with We Two Are One Too. So many good videos out there that aren't on Greatest Hits. Plus, Savage is my favorite Annie/Eurythmics era.
this video was part of a video "movie"...every song from the "Savage" LP was woven together with the artistry that made the Eurythmics my favorite band growing up, and Annie my favorite singer now!
(part 2) She said... "I have this unhappiness To wear around my neck." "Its a pretty piece of jewellery To show what I protect." She said... "Everything is fiction All cynic to the bone." "So dont ask me to stay with you Dont ask to see me home." Savage Savage Savage You savage...
(can't fit this as one post, so; part 1) Words of power are killing me While the sun displays its' teeth. All mockery is laughing All violence is cheap. She said... "These are my guns These are my furs This is my living room." "You can play with me there sometimes If you catch me in the mood." Savage Savage Savage You savage...
Can't decide if 1984 or Savage is my favorite Eurythmics album.
I just know that I miss Dave and Annie together so badly that sometimes I swear it hurts .
I love them both , but together-Eurythmics- are part of my soul.
