Right By Your Side
Eurythmics Lyrics
Give me two strong arms
To protect myself
Give me so much love
That I forget myself
I need to swing from limb to limb
To relieve this mess I'm in
'Cause when depression starts to win
I need to be right by your side
No one seems to touch me
Nothing seems to hurt me
When I'm close to you
I'm so full of desire
When you set my head on fire
I need to be right by your side
Every single one of us needs
Love, love, love
Everybody needs to give and receive love
Every single day can drag us
Down, down, down
But there's nothing left to fear
When love gets into town
I'm so full of desire
When you set my head on fire
I need to be right by your side

The duo released their first studio album, In the Garden, in 1981 to little success, but went on to achieve global success when their second album Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), was released in 1983. The title track became a worldwide hit which topped the charts in various countries including the US. The duo went on to release a string of hit singles and albums before they split up in 1990. By this time, Stewart was a sought-after record producer, while Lennox began a solo recording career in 1992 with her debut album Diva. After almost a decade apart, Eurythmics reunited to record their ninth album, Peace, released in late 1999. They reunited again in 2005 to release the single "I've Got a Life", as part of a new Eurythmics compilation album, Ultimate Collection.
The duo have won an MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist in 1984, the Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1987, the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music in 1999, and in 2005 were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame. The Eurythmics have sold an estimated 75 million records worldwide. In 2017, the group was nominated for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and were nominated again in 2018.

Give me 2 strong arms
To protect myself
Give me so much love
That I forget myself
I need to swing from limb to limb
To relieve this mess I'm in
'Cause when depression starts to win
I need to be right by your side
No one seems to touch me
In the way you do
Nothing seems to hurt me
When I'm close to you
I'm so full to desire
When you set my head on fire
I need to be right by your side
Every single one of us needs
Love, love, love
Everybody needs to give & receive love
Every single day can drag us
Down, down, down
But there's nothing left to fear
When love gets into town
I'm so full of desire
When you set my head on fire
I need to be right by your side

I loved this often-overlooked hit because we saw a lighter, happier side of Annie Lennox for the first time in a video. And itβs just an amazing song. I wish the 1980s had never ended. Real talent, brighter times, brighter colours, and fun videos. I miss Eurythmics.

Who else but Annie Lennox could put a line about "when depression starts to win" in a peppy song like this?Β There's always that honesty,Β depth, and complexity in everything she does.

@fufufoofoo She reportedly had some kind of nervous breakdown between being in the Tourists and re-emerging with the Eurythmics,sad to say.
