I’ve Tried EverythingEurythmics

Released: October 19, 1999

Songwriter: Annie Lennox David A. Stewart

Producer: Andy Wright Eurythmics

The truth of life is the greatest gift
But I don't think I can make it fit
And who would guess it would come to this
When I've tried everything

And I should know but I can't explain
The endless noise sounding in my brain
Who would've thought that you could feel such pain
When you've tried everything

Yea.. you're a loser now
Yea.. you're a loser now

I should be cool
But I'm burning hot
I should be good
But I fell apart
Don't look at me now don't even start
Cause I've tried everything

Yea.. You're a loser now
Yea.. You're a loser now

Eurythmics

While working as a waitress at a health food restaurant in London, Annie Lennox met Dave Stewart, with whom she formed the band Catch with singer-songwriter Peet Coombes. Catch released one single before adding two more members and changing their name to The Tourists. Under that name, the band scored five UK hits before Coombes' substance abuse broke the band apart.

Lennox and Stewart continued writing together – with Stewart moving from guitar to synthesizer and Lennox adopting an androgynous look – and formed Eurythmics. Within a few years, the duo was propelled into international stardom when “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)”, a single from their second album, became a top ten hit in nine countries.

Over the decade, the duo moved away from their dark new wave sound and S&M imagery, evolving into a more mainstream synthpop band. In that time, they scored twenty-one UK top 40’s (ten of which were also US top 40 hits). In 1990, Eurythmics quietly disbanded and Lennox took a break from music to have her first child.
