@vidform auto tune didn't exist in 1984. and anyway autotune alters the singer's voice by way of those electric warblings you hear in auto tune. if anything annie is using or a harmonizer which duplicates her voice with an eerie electric sound. the difference is that autotune alters the voice while the harmonizer lies under the voice not altering it but simply duplicating it.
An amazingly beautiful song that I played repeatedly when I first bought the (vinyl) soundtrack. Then (as now) Annie Lennox's vocals are stunning. I've always liked her androgynous looks. She has such a beautiful face that the short hair cuts accentuate all those angles.
@wotanicling When you look that good, you can wear your hair any way you want it. Annie is not just a great singer, but is still making a difference on this planet.
I suspect this is a song that would definitely grow on you.
Then again, some songs are singles and some (regardless of merit) aren't, and this one definitely *isn't* a Top 40 single!
I don't remember this getting airplay at all, and I'm not surprised- it would have been totally out of place, and not the best context to appreciate it in anyway.
does anyone know how they did the main vocals? it sounds like harmonies but not really. pity they used a synthesiser instead of a real trumpet. the sins of the eighties. there you go.
@list55 it was an analog Vocoder. state of the art and a little pricey back then; a free, downloadable digital plug-in for a soundcard you can get at Best Buy today.
She was and remains a spectacular beauty. She's also a highly intelligent woman. I love this song. It's simple and beautiful....It's everything it needs to be, but nothing else.
@AmyLeeFan1Aleera She once was, that is. She still is beautiful but age is showing on her face, in the form of lines, and slight bags under her eyes. The time this video was shot she was still in her youth. :)
she's the male David Bowie

Is she singing with auto-tune? It seems the robotic style of singing has been around for a long time. I love the Eurythmics.

Although I've sworn to myself that I'd never marry again, for Annie, I'd easily make an exception. :¬) ♥

Her hair's too short for a woman. Splendid voice, though, very melancholy.

@wotanicling How short is "too short for a woman"? How long is "too long for a man"?
JimNKnoxville 6 months ago
@wotanicling That was Annie's style back then. Masculine and almost androgynous. She got more feminine as time went on though.

It's amazing and scary how accurate Orwell was with Nineteen-Eighty-Four, he knew what he was talking about...

@TwelveBridges - What's even more accurate is his original plan was to call it 1948, since the roots of trouble were well underway by then...
