  • What about her guitarist Roger Pomphrey that co-wrote songs with her? Was he writing about her husband too? LOL!!!

  • It never fails, every time I hear this song I cry like a baby. It sends chills through me.

  • Elphaba lives!!!!!

  • she said "God" well that s a start , from an agnostic who's lost 2 marriages ,and may be aids positive ?

  • that makes me horny

    

  • @fmallis She may say many things, some true, some not, but only she knows the truth. Artists use to create the aura around them (which doesn't mean that they dont have that aura). And I don't want to continue something you'd call 'silly exchange', there's no point. Take care

  • @fmallis You still don't get my point. Good for you that you've been listening to Annie for 30 years, it means you have good music taste. And great you have read sth about her. I also do read a lot about people I admire. But what I want to say is that she's an artist.

  • He probably had Aspergers...

    

  • Love it!

    

  • This has the best lyrics on the Diva album..

  • I have composed possibly a thousand songs. I have choregraphed songs like , Aqua Barbie but This performance is flawless. there isn't ONE t hing that I would change. Love the eye shadow colour

  • When she is on , She's an angel.

    Otherwise, I have no idea.....

  • her dave need to get into a studio and start writing music again she is a genius

  • Great singing, great acting, nice video Annie!

  • hermosa voz y video

  • Reaching out and never touched nor felt....

  • All I know is I know just how she feels. 

  • striptease anyone?

  • GOD i love her she's so AMAZ!ng what a voiCe

  • Catch me and let me dive under For I want to swim in the pools of your eyes...♥

  • An incredible artist captured in time.

  • LOVE Annie LOVE this song!

  • British singers have done something many white American singers have yet to master: singing SOUL music without it sounding like an imitation. I believe the Brits understand that Soul music as a unique genre and Black art form is more than the vocal component. Hence this song and others by Elton John, George Micahel, Adele, Amy etc. I love Annie and how she sings New Wave, pop, synth, rock and R&B.

  • If you've ever contemplated Life before, This Beautiful, artistic Song would be so easy to understand, as Soon as the first time you ever listen to it.

    You gotta love Annie Lennox.

    Great job woman!

  • Every song on this LP was (is) truly killer.

  • the words in this song are pure beauty.

  • Comment removed

  • R.I.P Barry Winchell.......Soldiers Girl

  • "Dying is easy it's living that scares me to death"

  • Annie Lennox.

  • love this song!!

  • Damn

  • @MerrickGajdics Yes it was.... love that movie

  • I remember this from Striptease :) I can't be the only one? :)

  • @serciu Same here! :D

  • @serciu No you are not....lol...one of my movies

  • Sumptuous expression and artistic talent. Annie here is at her restrained best. The story? Her lover died. She is wearing black in the preview in front of a church. A funeral. "Be done with me" she says to death " "Let cold take hold of us" "Don't I exist for you, don't I still live for you."( for her dead husband) "God only knows I paid for things" ( we all have time to consider ourselves after a relationship ends, our lies and wrongs we do ) "Scares me to death" (living without him)

  • @realfineguy Don't take this the wrong way cos you've obviously given your post a lot of thought, but if you know anything about Annie Lennox you would realize she only ever writes about herself. She does not do method writing. I remember reading that this was about her relationship with then husband, Uri - who was not dead then and is not dead now, 19 years later.

    Interesting take though.

  • @fmallis yeah, and you are the only one who has the insight on Annie's thought and meaning of her song.

  • @kapusniorek You actually sound offended that someone has an opinion. Did you read what my comment was a reply to? Besides, I clearly stated that I'd read an interview with Annie. I wasn't making anything up.

    Gotta love YouTubers.

  • @fmallis i don't care if i sound offended. Why would I be? I don't even know you, I don't care if you have any opinion at all. Yes, I ready your comment and the one you were responding to. I just wanted to say, that you think you know something, because you read an interview. And maybe you read some stuff about Annie and all. And you make opinios like 'she only ever writes about herself'. Even if she herself said that, it doesn't mean that much.

  • @kapusniorek All artists write about themselves. They have deap emotional life and many things come through them. But it doesn't mean at all that this song is only about her and her husband. It's about emotions which were involved then, and so many interpretations may be correct. Maybe she felt then like he was dead? Maybe she thought like that when she was writing this piece? What does it matter if he's still alive? This song will be actual for many people even 200 years afeter his death.

  • @kapusniorek: I only shared an opinion - which millions of people do on here every day. I've been a fan of hers for thirty years so perhaps I might have read a thing or two about her that others haven't. Perhaps you've read things I never have.

    Live long and prosper. But if you'd like to continue this silly exchange I can give you links to all my other comments.

  • love the song... not crazy about the video

  • Go Annie !

  • wow ,this is one of the rare songs that I can call truly beautifull and touching.

  • who DOESN'T stop these adverts asap ??

  • she shit with same hole thats it ok???fucking behaviour

  • ahhhhhhhhhhh persistants pestilence of peoples who think past is the best way of music lollllllllllllllllllll fucking crooners and baby boomers when your all gone the world begin to breath anyway and after this we will ear music in peace and not its not like this anymore shit like youngless haters

  • This is an album that can take you somewhere like a Peter Gabriel, Sade, or Paul Simon album. Blessed.

  • Comment removed

  • omg i remember this song in the movie soldiers girl....

  • @ricaonfire

    Same here / cry /

  • @ricaonfire thts where I fell in love with it!!! I cried due to the subject matter and all but this song haunted me along with consequences of falling!!!!

  • He escuchado mucha música y esta canción es una de las que más tarareo y la escuché con 15 años. Hoy tengo 37. Genial.

  • Pure Raw Talent! BEAUTIFUL!!!

  • CLICK ON: disccentury, MY MUSIC, NEVER SEEN

  • Gorgeous and stirring. I am in love with this tune and emotionally telling video.

  • 5 stars... the sound and performance are stunning

  • i would be really mad if someone copied this girl. anyway....i miss artists like this one.

  • Emotionally disturbing but yet refreshingly so truthfull!

  • its THIS kinda music that should be famous, not taylor swift and justin bieber!!! :O

  • Such a Beautiful-eerie song-Annie hits it Every time

    ok-a little creepy tho...lol!

  • Such a Beautiful-eerie song-Annie hits it Every time

  • even though i'm 16 I love music from my time, I love the eurythmics and i love annie her voice is so beautiful and soulful

  • She is a AWESOME Diva!!!

  • Katy, Taylor and all the rest, SCHOOL is in session, pop quiz in the morning, that is, if you have the vocal range to hang

  • Spell bounding! 

  • Annie is a true talent & highly under-rated. I've enjoyed her music since the 1st time I saw her on the "REAL" MTV videos back in the early 80's,, and this song is just Awesome!

  • @dlsimon212 Under-rated? Annie Lennox was/is a force in music.

  • @wildenights Maybe to you & I,, but most of the youngsters haven't even heard of her,, which is very unfortunate,, because they're missing out on such a great artist. Anymore,, music is mostly about who can dress the weirdest,, who has the most cleavage hanging out,, or who can cuss the most in a song,, they don't have a clue about what a real singer is like & what REAL music should sound like,, stuff like this grabs at your soul,, we'll have the last laugh in a few years when they're forgotten!

  • @dlsimon212 I totally agree.

  • What an awesome song, by a truly great singer!

  • @insearchothetruth  so true!! cannot get enough of Annie!!!!!

  • Love this song with all my respect.

  • Im a singer. Im not sayin Im as good as annie certainly not, but what I am saying is.. the sheer abandon. the total I AM-ING OF IT ALL, her total lack of convention is so very revolutionary. ban the ordinary. w love blues.

  • @bluessingerr you'll need to give people the blues first

  • So poetic... both the video and the lyrics.

  • these songs are almost beyond cinematic in a way... there's a warmth that just isn't shown or heard in todays music and will we hear this kind of sonic clarity or originality in the future... no we will only see remakes... revamps... and old songs performed with a modern twist... this song is timeless like great songs should be

  • artfull....every second of it and every tone of her voice.....

  • FIERCE!

  • love this song..bought the dvd only for the song "why "....i found more to anne lenox then i did to the " eurythmics " then I bought her live in central park....just blew me away still in my dvd collection

  • What happened to music like this? its all bubble gum now..

  • Don't forget about Tori Amos. She is awesome, too. Her music grabs hold of the soul and squeezes it until it screams.

  • 2:26 pretty words but you one heck of an artist with and without your team

  • Do not care for Vevo...but I'll bear with it cuz I love this song so much!

  • "Dying is easy, it's living that scares me to death". Wow, One of the BEST lines ever written!

  • hahahahahaahahahahahaahhahah WTF IS THIS HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Oh, Annie Lennox, you freaky genius of artistic creativity...

  • Amazing song. Such talent.

    

  • @MerrickGajdics Yeah, this is in Striptease.

  • I grew up listening to Annie Lennox, and I have yet to find another artist who speaks to my soul as much as she does.

  • @raindanceonthemoon I didn't grow up with her, but god knows how much she speaks to me! :)

  • @raindanceonthemoon me to we need more people like her

  • @MerrickGajdics It was Soldier's Girl

  • i heard this song in a movie i watched and fell in love with it . i've always annie lennox but WOW !!!!!! awesome !!!!!

  • Ани Ленъкс е невероятна!Кога ли ще дойде в България?

  • Could anyone else have used another "Dieing is easy it's living that scares me" line placed at 4:21? Everything leading up to it makes me think it's going to happen, but then I just feel disappointed.

  • Annie lennox was one of my uncles favourite vocalists...he died on 12th December 2010...my birthday. He was my best friend for many years. I'm 23 now and i don't know if i'll ever have a better friend. Here's to you Derrick, hope so see you soon - Elliot :).

  • This is making me dizzy.

  • what a song

  • 1992, the year minus those ever annoying Rihanna, Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson etc. etc. Music videos back then were so much BETTER!!!

  • Annie Lennox, saw her a couple of years ago or so in concert she was the opening act for Sting, she blew me away, I left the concert thinking about her performance at the end it was her concert not Sting's (and I love Sting!) what an amazing singer.

  • I am sooo in love with her voice.....

  • @thefilmhybrid you obviously have no talent or personality if looks are so important to you. Additionally, Annie Lennox is beautiful whether or not she looks like Hillary Duff or Lady Gaga; just because I don't prefer brown eyes doesn't mean they're ugly. Honestly I hope you go die in a hole before you can spread any more of your shallow poison to the world.

  • Annie Lennox is a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice....and basta :)

  • makes me cry everytime....every single time..

  • this is one of my favorite cd's ever!!

  • in response to thefilamhybrid . that is the problem with people today they exchange talent for looks. godforbid someone be unattractive but have a voice angel.

  • 'Dying is easy. It's living that scares me to death. Ooh, yeah.' I say again, my hero, for her unwavering and sometimes brutal commitment to her truth. Thank you Annie.

  • Annie Lennox, what an amazing storyteller she is.

  • ... Annie Lennox: stunning woman, stunning voice, stunning performer...

    ... @thefilamhybrid: if you don't like her look, fine, don't like it... but don't show yourself for a horse's ass by making such vicious sweeping generalizations as "women considered pretty in the 80s and 90s are a bit horse face."...

  • Annie Lennox =REAL beauty. Inside and Out.

  • Beautifully elegant

    

  • @thefilamhybrid I saw Annie L. in London! She is amazing looking. Every single guy passing by ended up with a hard on!

  • @thefilamhybrid So I check what country you're from and.... I shouldn't. The only country that spawns comments like this.

  • @thefilamhybrid  people like you are what is wrong with today. they take looks over talent. never mind that she has a voice of angel just becase she isnt 22 with huge boobs doesnt mean she isnt beautiful she has something you seem to lack a personality and inner beauty.

  • @thefilamhybrid I can't tell your aforementioned bunch one from the other. It's as though they were all from the same cookie cutter. No depth either. As vapid in looks as they sound.

  • DYING IS EASY, ITS LIVING THAT SCARES ME TO DEATH! wow,.....Every note, word and melody is Magic.

  • @M17401 Everytime I think of this song, that part of the lyrics always pops into my head. Talk about coincidences.

  • she is amazingly dramatic! love this! 

  • genial

    

  • this is what i want to know... WHY THE *UCK is Katy Perry and Taylor Smith Showing up on the side bar?!?!?!?!? W T F the world sucks sometimes.

  • @Coldrum1000 Because that's the horseshit that fuckers eat up, it's commercialism at its worst.

  • shes so intense ... this song rocks my socks

  • What happened to music like this? I can't name one female entertainer that can sing and create actual music like this. Lyrics in today's music seems like theyre singing about what they see in their backyard. A telephone? Yea lets sing about that.

  • @SparkZ1420 lol

  • @SparkZ1420 Annie is a musical genius. Not too many in this wild, wide world.

  • @SparkZ1420 Tori Amos

  • @SparkZ1420 Adele Is pretty good. Check out her single, "Rolling In The Deep".

    She's a rarety, much like Annie Lennox here.

  • @Krintok Totally agree with you!

  • @deeway1963 :) I'm addicted to both of these women, as well as Alanis Morissette, P!nk and Sarah Mclachlan...

  • @Krintok Me, as well friend! Great taste you have! These women are like crack! I have to include Adele in this addictive line up! Totally hooked!

  • @deeway1963 HELL YEAH! They're more addictive than crack, more like Heroin. :B

    You have great taste too, are there any other female singers like the ones we mentioned?

    I'm open for suggestions, and really I love females that sing music that Is based on real experiences.

  • @Krintok Oh seriously? Don't get me started! I have a ton that I so absolutely love-LOVE! Ok. Now I MUST check out your channel! Love the "heroin" comment that you made! Lol So true! SO TRUE!

  • @SparkZ1420 lmao

  • @SparkZ1420 cause music lost it's taste a long time ago, it became nth but a product to make money, and most people are too dumb to realize that

  • @SparkZ1420 Agreed, but now thers Adele!

  • @SparkZ1420 Take a look at Adele, her voice and lyrics are quite good.

  • 3 people have absolutely no sense for music apparently...How sad...

  • In some respects, when she and the Eurythmics were in the mix, Annie was beyond what I could actually process and understand. One of the all time bests. She can be at least mentioned in the same paragraph as Aretha, acknowledging both their greatness, and that they come from different places. And what is wonderful about Annie is she knows form whence she came musically

  • as everyone has prenounced before me i must state... I believe it to be one of the super albums of all time! Each song is an expression of absolute human justice and sublime expression! Nothing touches it in sincerity. It is graceously ours to wonder!

  • This is one of the most beautiful songs ever made.

  • just simply beautiful !!!!

  • she's so awesome. i love contralto voices

  • I like the part about hearing the sound of her breath ...

    but people get the wrong idea the other day my step dad was heavy breathing in my ear when noone was looking.... that freaked me out, and Ive had a horrible headache ever since.

  • how can someone not like this endless master piece?

  • everything in this video is sooooooooo high fashion!!!

  • This song makes me sooo sad. It reminds me of the one I did everything I could...for the one I loved and still lost her to some fly-by-night guy. I was soo willing to do anything I could for her and I did. But still she left me as like I didn;t mean anything to her. I hate and love this song because it reminds me of her and everything I did to keep a love affair going. However...I lost it as if it never happened. It makes me soooo sad to think of her and all I did.

  • Such a deep song. Annie is amazing and her voice is so unique.

  • love you mummy...goodbye.. :-(

  • I'm going to have a serious talk with 2 people soon... >:(

  • dedicated to my biggest love ever...

  • Striptease FTW!

  • ohh wow i get goosepbumps everytime ugh sooo good, just amazing i am in awe.

  • So, so beautiful...

  • omg.. this song is gonna make me cry since they played this song in soldier's girl (one of my fav all time movies!). love annie lennox!!

  • Annie is just so damn awesome.

  • that is a great movie soldiers girl

  • let me catch my breath after that!

  • wow what a voice

  • blissful transcendence....

  • I love this song, its so sensual and powerful. Just like Annie Lennox <3's

  • the Great song

  • I love this song.. and she's so beautiful :)

  • Does anyone know the name of the song Annie Lennox sings where in the vidoe she is walking barefoot walking across what looks like the moors holding a lantern wearing a long white nightdress?

  • @fairiegirlga "Here Comes the Rain Again"
