Five great Annie Lennox songs and three Eurythmics hits
These days, many writers have their own websites. Stephen King, for instance, has one (and you can find it here), as has his colleague and some time co-author Peter Straub (here.) Dan Simmons has one of the best author sites I’ve ever come across (here) and the truly incomparable Neil Gaiman, obviously, has an incomparable site (here), on which he shares his thoughts, hobbies, travel stories and even recipes in an almost daily updated blog.
This, however, is not a column about authors’ websites - though it did start there, on the Neil Gaiman blog, that is. Gaiman loves to tell his readers about the things he enjoys and one of the things he likes is the work done by the artist Amanda Palmer.
So, recently he wrote about her again (here) and put up the following clip:
Now, I did like that clip but I wasn’t totally satisfied with it. So, being an obsessive compulsive idiot I kept worrying at this feeling of vague dissatisfaction. Till I remembered what other clip & song the Amanda Palmer clip reminded me of. After which I had no trouble at all simply enjoying the A.P. song. It wasn’t the latter’s fault that her clip reminded me of something that was made by one of my personal Goddesses, Annie Lennox: ‘Little Bird’.
Of course, that realisation had me trawling for more of my favourite Annie Lennox songs, which gave me the idea for this column: A top five of Annie Lennox clips, starting, of course, with the above mentioned song.
So, here it is, with links, of course:
1) Little bird
2) Why?
Alright, and just for the Hell of it, three more clips by her and her old Eurythmics partner, Dave Stewart:
2) I need a man
