Lyrics
Darling don't you understand
I feel so ill at ease
The room is full of silence and it's getting hard to breathe
Take this guilted cage of pain and set me free
Take this overcoat of shame
It never did belong to me
It never did belong to me
I need to go outside
I need to leave the smoke
'cause I can't go on living in this same sick joke
It seems our lives have taken on a different kind of twist
Now that you have given me the perfect gift
You have given me the gift
For we have fallen from our shelves
To face the truth about ourselves
And we have tumbled from our trees
Tumbled from our trees
And I can almost...
I can almost feel the rain falling
Don't you know it feels so good
So let's go out into the rain again
Just like we said we always would
#AnnieLennox #TheGift #Vevo #Pop #VevoOfficial

This song also saved my life while grieving a tragedy in 1993. One of the greatest albums, "Diva"!! Love you Annie!!!

[@totall2952]

Be strong my friend ok

[@fershi3794]

This video always makes me cry!!! But in a good way. This song moves me... I love the art in every part. Annie is a wonderful artist and human being! I hope you´re OK now!

[@tedwallace9270]

This lady is probably the most incredibly talented person alive today. What a treasue

[@lisaleone2296]

Probably? No Really.

[@edwardmartin2191]

And one of the most gracious and kind:-)

[@fershi3794]

Annie is wow!!! My love my love like an artist. She's so complete so ... unique 😍😎

[@louisgargallo2734]

N’oubliez pas aussi l’immense Joni Mitchell 🌈🦄

[@jamesemberton9661]

She's good but Stevie Nick's is the best

[@matru1959]

A reason why i love music

[@kristoffwoodman8932]

I find it difficult to describe what this song and Annie mean to me but it speaks to my heart and touches my soul like no other than you Annie for blessing our world with your love!

[@stevious7278]

10 seconds in and my eyes are watering. No more needs to be said. You, dear lady, are an extraordinary woman. Bless you for what you bring into the world.

[@larrywhinnery1808]

30 years later, this song is still amazing. I loved it back in 1992, even as a 12 year old kid.

[@ApocryphalDude]

I just went back in time too

[@williambrown3999]

I was 12 also back then and I wore this tape out. I remember it snowed that year so we were out of school for a few days and I just was home listening to this album and listening to this song and watching the snow outside is one of my favorite memories forever

[@ehpa9047]

Not too many people can go to Venezia and out shine it.

[@robertnewberry1511]

STUNNING. This makes me cry. She is a reluctant peacock in a field of ordinary. Simply gorgeous is it’s stark simplicity.

[@llllll4077]

No CGI, no sexually explicit lyrics or imagery, just class and talent - that’s Annie Lennox.

[@ibosquez5238]

That's Annie Lennox alright.

[@soapwonder2284]

Agreed

[@deannabarnes3771]

Precisely, that's our Dear one, Annie!

[@a.joegevara3519]

And can still deliver shock value!

[@buon.giovanni]

Always coming back to art

[@jamesmodlin6279]

Take this overcoat of shame. It never did belong to me... I Love You Annie.

[@robertc6343]

It resonated with me too. Beautiful song!

[@Emgee78]

This song has stayed with me ever since I was 14. My mom bought me the album on cassette back in the day and I believe I wore it out.

[@ibosquez5238]

I still have mine, a beautiful memory of beautiful music.

[@kimmariefaber4636]

She is a model, a beautiful woman, an amazing singer and “A Gift”

[@kevinuren8669]

I am 59 now and in my younger years the Eurythmics sounded OK but now with a bit of maturity has realey made me recognize the depth and importance of real life values, LOVE HER.

[@juliebutler8256]

I agree. Same here. Her Little Bird song kept me sane a few years back....Bless you Annie.

[@drytoast1]

when the 1990s was more futuristic than 2020 and an artist just had fun with her fans and still made soulful tracks

[@MaryscottOConnorinTC]

I love ALL the songs on this album, but this is my favourite. Devastating. I listened to it obsessively during my divorce. It comforted my immensely.

[@Nunov103]

A lesson in class 🙌

[@FinalMinutesChannel]

This song is a safe haven, an inexhaustible source of solace. Your talent and grace are like a warm blanket, Ms. Lennox. Thank you.

[@mikef8681]

Your words are so perfect and beautiful. Thank you.

[@jorgefp96]

One of my all-time favourite songs. So much meaning for me. One of the simplest and most beautiful melodies I have ever fallen in love with. Thanks Annie.

[@lilu21]

she is divine

[@DroneHDTV]

You will never see my message, I guess. But you saved my life in 1992 with your song WHY. THANKYOU. - NO i REALLY THANKYOU.

[@funkyfive3133]

Annieeeee! See his msg please!!!

[@fnr-official6543]

Where are you, Annie? Respond, please...

[@wbyeats255]

Tou should try instagram. She uses it.

[@ameerordimly1449]

@@fnr-official6543 - u think she cares? NOT!

[@babylonsister118]

Go to her twitter page and yes she does give a shit because she sent a shout out to Twinsthenewtrend for reacting to one of her videos, very recently!

[@badshotbill5001]

Absolutely incredible. One of the finest songs I've ever heard.

[@michg8969]

"Darling don't you understand I feel so ill at ease? The room is full of silence and it's getting hard to breathe"... This song taught me heartbreak before I even knew what love was.

[@janetmartin2957]

A real lady.

[@juancarlosacevedo7013]

Thanks dear Annie ❤

[@georgzug6943]

Einfach nur schön.

[@ZenarchersLair]

Devastatingly beautiful and poignant song. A surreal out-of-body touchstone. Indescribable, Annie. Thank you.

[@skuffel5405]

Annie, thanks for all "the gifts". They mean so much to me!

[@DDZines]

This song...this album...was my life through the 90’s. Still so relevant today. I’ve always loved it. This video just gave me life today. It’s wonderful. Thank you for putting it together for such an amazing song. 💝🙏🏻💝

I love this woman since I saw and heard her

[@jaynemiddleton7147]

Haven't listened to this for years and I've just cried my eyes out.... whoa now I've found release thank you diva xxx

[@mumblesdaclown9111]

I have just lost my baby last night & this song is helping me cope (as much as I can that is...) I had 2 copies of Annie Lennox DIVA as a child but only listened to what the mainstream radio had programmed me to which was "Walking On Broken Glass" & "Why" but I discovered this emotional masterpiece not more than 2 weeks ago & it was the first song I listened to after my devastating loss last night, Thank God for this song & Thank You Annie Lennox as well. While I had my baby these past 10 years my life was beautiful & even magical in every way... My Zubah was The Perfect Gift from God & I'll Always be eternally grateful & Thank God for our time together & cherish every memory of her as the best years of my life until I'm with her again in Heaven. 😻 R.I.P. Zubahrunt I can't wait to see you again in Heaven & I love you & will think of your face every second of every day until we are together again in Heaven, Your Zubah & I Love You!😻😽😺

[@chriswinwood6501]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Annie Lennox knows how to make a music video. This takes the breath away.

[@gkankava]

Indeed, she is a gift herself.

[@paolog.7489]

A wonderful tribute to the city of Venice by a fantastic Artist

[@jamessullivan6583]

Like a slow funeral procession, she sings steady and beautifully, and from the depths of her soul. She comforts and heals the masses.

[@0U812.]

I love you Annie

[@MegaChelsea25]

So beautiful. I love how you can still see a fragility shining through the masquerade of the persona Annie adopts in this video.

[@romeosantos9006]

I listened to this somg a lot in 1994/5 in weeks of anticipation at a crucial event of my professional life. It was soothing and calmed me a lot.

[@Mommyntoby]

Dayummit i can't anymore.... I miss you sooo much love you mom!!! Rip 2002... 😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤

For my mother, who joined our Creator exactly eighteen years today. If words could not express my gratitude for everything you did, maybe this song will.

A beautiful song from a very special album. Thank you Annie.

[@johnconstantinemarinakiski8128]

Beautiful. Her performance at the 2015 Grammys with Hozier doing I Put A Spell On You is legendary! Such a powerful moment and performance!

[@Vovanov18]

I feel this song could have been a beautiful duet between Annie and Freddie Mercury, just imagine the raw power and emotion.

[@sdmoller]

Incredible video, I wonder how many know who they stood next to there in San Marco's Square. Was there some years later, strange feeling. Love the entire album.

[@Leanrosso]

Such stirring lyrics and music. The first time I watched the video I went under some kind of spell.

[@alexzorro8884]

A Beautifully warm and tender song preformed on what appears to be a very chilly day for wearing such a elegant Diva dress...lol 😍

[@gkankava]

Thank you for your courage to be a gift nowadays!

[@pierrerienier3214]

i don't exactly understand why one of AL's best songs has only 420k views. "I feel so ill at ease"

[@williamgibble8361]

ANNIE IS THE GOLD STANDARD., TO MANY ARTIST TODAY, MOSTLY FEMALE HAVE TO SHOW THERE LOWER REGIONS OFF ,WHY BECAUSE THEY SUCK.. ANNIE HAD OVERWHELMING TALENT HER VOICE DID IT ALL. AND EVEN IF SHE WAS NOT THE POWER HOUSE SHE IS. SHE WOULD STILL OPERATE WITH CLASS ,ANNIE IS CLASS FROM THE WORD GO.

[@ZenarchersLair]

This song always kills me. Deepest thanks, and love, to Annie.

[@ronnybehncke2453]

In GERMAN for you ;# vielen lieben Dank!

[@chuckswinden1635]

How many times I've watched this video, its mesmerizing, deep, and sometimes It wells me up with tears. How many of those people knew who she was, or cared? Looks like a model, she is, could be someone famous, she is, had to work hard to get where she is, she did. She Gave so many of us music and song that touched our hearts in some way and manner, lifted our spirit, comforted our souls, made us cry and smile, such power the word music holds, such gift that we as humans can have by being musicians, and for those who do not share the skills and talents to be able to produce such, hopefully we are gifted enough to actually listen and hear, that in itself is a gift. Lastly I am so thankful for people like this lady and to have been around for and to hear such wondrous magic that sometimes we so take for granted, the magic of music. Thank you Annie...

[@jimstarr2749]

I just don't have the words,,, INCREDIBLE,, GO ANNIE GO

[@musikkunstetc.8465]

I never knew about the Blue Nile connection. Do they play on this as well?

[@justtruth3137]

I will never get tired of this song! It just has so many emotions and personal meaning to me! Sometimes I cry listening to this song. And sometimes just make me realise how wrong that once special relationship was.

[@buon.giovanni]
