Lyrics
Love is a stranger
In an open car
To tempt you in
And drive you far away
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession
Love is a danger
Of a different kind
To take you away
And leave you far behind
And love love love
Is a dangerous drug
You have to receive it
And you still can't
Get enough of the stuff
It's savage and it's cruel
And it shines like destruction
Comes in like the flood
And it seems like religion
It's noble and it's brutal
It distorts and deranges
And it wrenches you up
And you're left like a zombie
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession
It's guilt edged
Glamorous and sleek by design
You know it's jealous by nature
False and unkind
It's hard and restrained
And it's totally cool
It touches and it teases
As you stumble in the debris
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession

If Blondie's Debbie Harry was the first New Wave Aphrodite then Annie Lennox was the second. She showed the way with "Sweet Dreams," though that had some Marlene Dietrich moves. " Love is a Stranger" Annie just let's all her sexy, insane introspection out and shows the world her dazzling eyes and devastating beauty. I don't think this song could have been written without their personal experience of romantic love. God bless Annie and Dave.

What makes this one of the best songs ever? I'm glad you asked! 1. The haunting keyboard arrangement is hypnotizing. 2. The pulsing beat is subtle, but perfect. It adds, but doesn't distract. 3. Annie's icy cool, emotional vocals help create a mystique and enchantment. 4. The production has held up; they didn't fall into many of the 80s production traps that now sound dated. 5. And, perhaps most importantly, Annie's biting, acerbic dissection of love. She refused to play the role expected of women in music where they long for love or are lost without it or are complete with it. Nope! Not Annie! If you're still reading, you're truly a fan! 😄

Yes, it's production quality that has never been equaled, and probably never will be. Even with today's technology and auto-tune etc...

@@BG-il2ym SO true. What I find amazing is that so many of Eurythmics' songs sound good with some bass or no bass. I sometimes listen to this song with the bass cranked all the way down or turned up to where I can baaarely feel the woofer vibrate. Another example, listen to Thorn in my side with the bass turned down then again turned up. I can't think of any other band where a significant number of their songs sound good with two different bass levels...

To me the greatest aspect of all the Annie Lennox videos and songs is that no two are the same. Each one stands on its own as a masterpiece in my non-musical opinion. I don't claim to have a great ear for music but if anyone says I don't like the Eurythmics or more specifically Annie Lennox then you're just not listening to the full body of work. She re-creates herself with every song and every note. She is amazing in my opinion. Her and Stevie Nicks have probably saved my life more than once. Amazing women, amazing voices, amazing messages!

MASTERPIECE !!! "...It's savage and it's cruel and..." brilliant ! ...and it's one of those songs you can turn all the way up to 10 because there isn't an overuse of too many instruments muddying the sound. Then Annie's intense, clear voice in your face.....

Such a magnificent arrangement of traditional and modern instrumentation (e.g. tremelo), coupled with Annie's sweet, haunting voice. Transports me every time I hear it. It's 2022 but in listening to it I'm tripping back 40 years, when I first heard this brilliant tune in Germany.

Actually, Dietrich could rock a suit as far back as the early 1930's yet always was a stunner back in the day! It's not hard for me to imagine Dietrich performing this whole video without missing a trick- if it had been offered to her in her heyday! Regardless, Miss Lennox showed an amazing range here!

Annie Lennox gets almost all the attention, and understandably so. How can anyone *not* look at and listen to her. But Dave Stewart absolutely hit it out of the park with this one. Somehow, this track epitomizes the music of 1982 while sounding like absolutely nothing else on the radio in 1982.
