In the music video of the song, Lennox deliberately chose to wear a suit. However, Lennox insists those lines have nothing do with romance or a freaky intimate affair. Many misinterpret it to be about a weird intimate affair. One of the most misinterpreted set of lyrics in this track is where Lennox sings about some people wanting to be used/abused by you and your wanting to be used/abused by them. Lennox further revealed that the line in which she sings about traveling the world and “the seven seas” and seeing “everybody searching for something” is about how mankind is always in “this perpetual state of seeking”. And how did she feel? According to her, she was “hopeless and nihilistic” then. She described that line as “dark” and referred to the whole song as one that expressed exactly how she felt at that time. She revealed that from the first line, “Sweet Dreams” is devoid of happiness. She poured part of this unhappiness into the song. One of the major causes of her happiness was because her goals/aspirations to make it in the music industry were not coming to pass.
Annie Lennox Breaks Down “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)Īccording to Lennox, she was “desperately unhappy”at the time this song was written. Before long, the couple knew they had just created a major hit. She threw away her misery, stood up from the floor and joined Stewart to work on his creation. However, upon hearing the amazing sound he suddenly began producing, Lennox instantly got interested. Lennox (who was in the same room with him while he worked) was so overcome by misery that she lay on the floor barely paying any attention to what he was doing. It was at that moment that Stewart started working on his synthesizer to produce the song’s beat and riff. The fight was so bitter that Lennox was left extremely depressed. The Birth of “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)”Īccording to Lennox, the song was written after she and her partner/colleague David A.
