The Eurythmics, as I suspect I've pointed out before, are one of those groups I really didn't like back in the day, but as I've aged, Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart's music has really grown on me. And not just the obvious big New Wave hits. "Don't Ask Me Why" is a case in point. With a plucky, elegant melody right off the bat you are inclined to hear it as an upbeat song, but damn, the lyrics are so depressing. It's sadness and raw, emotional brutality wrapped up in a cloak of happy music. The video captures that tension perfectly. Enjoy.
