踏入90年代 Eurythmics 可說是靜止的﹐兩人分開後也鮮有聯絡﹐Dave Stewart 於1987年與香蕉女郎 (Bananarama) Siobhan Fahey結婚﹐關係維持了9年﹐育有兩名孩子﹐其間Siobhan組成了Shakespears Sister﹐Dave就參與了專輯中的創作﹐大熱歌曲有 Stay (1991/London)。而 Annie也出版了兩首叫好又叫座的專輯﹐包括 Diva (1992/Arista) 及 Medusa (1995/Arista) 。終於千禧前﹐Eurythmics再次重組﹐發了一張 Peace (1999/Arista) 專輯﹐首張單曲為 I Saved The World Today。

I Saved The World Today (1999/RCA) Track List:
01 I Saved The World Today
02 I Saved The World Today (Live At The Church)
03 Lifted

歌曲跟 Eurythmics早期的電子及後期的美式風格截然不同﹐但是這卻是一首越聽越有味道的歌曲。網上找不到原裝 MV﹐但是這個民間剪輯版本也很感人。



I Saved The World Today
(Annie Lennox / Dave Stewart)

Monday finds you like a bomb
That’s been left there ticking there too long
You’re bleeding
Some days there's nothing left to learn
From the point of no return
You're leaving

Hey hey I saved the world today
Everybody’s happy now
The bad things gone away
And everybody’s happy now
The good thing’s here to stay
Please let it stay

There’s a million mouths to feed
And I’ve got everything i need
I’m breathing
And there’s a hurting thing inside
But I’ve got everything to hide
I'm grieving

Hey hey I saved the world today
Everybody’s happy now
The bad things gone away
And everybody’s happy now
The good thing’s here to stay
Please let it stay

Doo doo doo doo doo the good thing

Hey hey I saved the world today
Everybody’s happy now
The bad things gone away
And everybody’s happy now
The good thing’s here to stay
Please let it stay

Everybody's happy now

I Save The World Today得到英國流行榜第17位﹐稍後專輯中又發了另一張單曲 17 Again就得到英國榜第27位。可是筆者聽畢整張 Peace專輯﹐仍是情有獨鐘I Save The World Today。

Peace (1999/Arista) Track List:
01 17 Again
02 I Saved The World Today
03 Power To The Meek
04 Beautiful Child
05 Anything But Strong
06 Peace Is Just A Word
07 I've Tried Everything
08 I Want It All
09 My True Love
10 Forever
11 Lifted

進入千禧﹐Annie Lennox 又發了第3張單飛專輯﹐2005年 Eurythmics 就為了 Ultimate Eurythmics 精選﹐出了一張單曲I've Got a Life﹐而2006年又把過去8張專輯再及加上 Bonus Tracks再 Remaster過推出﹐當年前衛的 Eurythmics 至今也只有回頭看了。
