Eurythmics

Peace

Peace (1999)

Review Score:

(6/10)
1989 was the year Eurythmics released their last studio recorded album, which is entitled, We Too Are One. They released two compilation albums over the years, but there was still no word of an official reunion and new material. But in 1999, just a decade after their album, "We Too Are One", Eurythmics released their tenth album entitled, "Peace". I was hoping for a great album, but I didn't get that. This is album is not quite what I had hoped for, but I will say that the album is somewhat enjoyable.

17 AGAIN
The first single from the album. Everybody wishes they were seventeen-years-old again. That is because all the adults in the world do not want to deal with the issues that adults are meant to deal with. Adults would rather be young again in order to have more fun. I know that I'll be saying the same thing as the rest of the adults in the world. I know I am going to hate being an adult, but I have to accept the fact that this life, which I think is what this song is about: Accepting the fact that you are born. You have a fun childhood and teenhood. Then, you grow into an adult and deal with the adult issues. Then, you pass on.

I SAVED THE WORLD TODAY
The second & final single from the album. Not bad.

POWER TO THE MEEK
Incredible tune.

BEAUTIFUL CHILD
Another incredible tune.

ANYTHING BUT STRONG
There are a lot of people in the world, who are, indeed, anything, but strong. Strong, meaning feeling good about themselves and striving to have a great life. A good song that seems to be pointing out a great message.

PEACE IS JUST A WORD
The reason why in this world, peace is just a word, is because the world is filled with hatred, pain, killing, violence, evil, etc. Do you think we'll ever live in a world, where peace is not just a word, but a true feeling?

I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING
If you are a person with a horrible life, where you literally have nothing going right for you, and you've tried to find the way to change that, but haven't, then you haven't tried everything. That's obvious. I know I am in a life where I am quite unhappy. Now, I have not yet tried everything because I am still not happy, but I'm still trying to find what I am looking for that will make me happy in my life. A great song that I can sort of relate to.

I WANT IT ALL
I do want it all. I want the greatest life possible, but I do want to work for the greatest life possible, that I know that the life is mine because I worked for it.

MY TRUE LOVE
I cannot relate to this song because I have not yet met my true love. I haven't even met my first girlfriend. But I am not worrying because my first girlfriend will be along somewhere in the future. My true love will definitely be along somewhere in the future.

FOREVER
Not a bad song.

LIFTED
Not bad.

Most of these songs on this album deal with real life issues in the world and I can relate to some of them. There are others that do not seem to fit this album, which is why I was not quite impressed with the album. But Eurythmics get all the credit because they put an effort in releasing a new album after ten years of not releasing any new material. This is the last album released by Eurythmics, which means that there hasn't been any new material from the band in the last five years, going on six years. I am hoping that if they make it a planned decision, they'll release another album that will be just as good as their previous albums.
