Annie Lennox - Why (Live 8 2005)

[@barrycoleman5471]

Annie Lennox is criminally underrated.

[@willon50]

probably by the mortals, but not by the big ones... Sting, Bowie, Mercury, Elton John, etc... all them recognize her.

[@PabloHernandez-gd7hm]

WHAT?

[@devito501]

Who underrated her , she is a legend.

[@windi1982]

Underrated? Singer, songwriter, over 100 Mio. sold recordings, academy award - winner, order of the British empire,…! Nothing about her is underrated! 🤣🤷‍♂️

[@unclenelvis]

Underrated by who exactly Barry? The public? No. Her peers? No. Other good Samaritans? No. Come on Barry exactly who is underrating Miss Lennox?

[@jnairac]

The silence is deafening ,back then LIIVE and still is 2023. Agree?

[@dosenwurst101]

One of the greatest female vocalists of all time and such a good hearted lady. Annie Lennox is incredible

[@robertczwartek4709]

So true. I had to cry after few seconds.

[@darrellboseley1]

I was there to witness this moment. 17 years later it is still one of the greatest performances I have seen.

[@indymind]

The whole park went silent.

[@blobbo4157]

She puts her whole soul into it. That combined with her unique, gorgeous voice...she's unreal. I am so glad she's here with us. An incredible woman with a huge heart.

[@delhowell4416]

ANNIE , not just one of the most beautiful voices of all time…but must be a beautiful human being , she does so much great humanity work and never boasts it….her voice has been with me since the eighties and I still listen to her regularly…..big shout to Dave and thanks to you both for Eurythmics…still a timeless catalogue of musical wonder , I hope to take Annie’s voice in my soul to the next life….” The Miracle of Love”

One year after this concert, my sister died with HIV. I get very emotional every time I hear this song.

[@guillermoarias2843]

Sorry for your loss my Kenyan girl who was suffering from HIV died on February 12th, and it was so heartbreaking ...........................but we gave her the most beautiful last years of her life. Her brother is still with us and is a everyday battle

This song just popped into my head today. I always like a live version but WOW! The control this woman has over her voice is biblical.

[@richardtaylor9810]

I was here in person, and gotta say it was prob the most moving, touching performance I have ever seen! The images and words on the screen combined with the lyrics and Annies voice were just mind blowing. Even now 16 years later I can still feel it like yesterday. My biggest memory of that amazing day.

I found this extremely moving to watch, Annie Lennox is amazing

[@stepforwardentertainment715]

I think what makes this performance so poignant is the respect paid to Annie and this song. When she stops, you could practically hear a pin drop. She commands the respect and admiration of the audience. Seriously, what a beautiful performance.

[@jonathanhadden7157]

You can hear the audience as she takes the stage, load as usual for 250k people! But, yeah... her break... all were emotionally moved to silence. It was quite a day.

[@nzshareman]

Because they are depressed as hell now! Stupid song to play at a concert

[@jonathanhadden7157]

@@nzshareman You have no idea what the conceet was about.

[@seniorwadley]

I think it is, in part, because Annie never commands anything. She moves forward and simply would love it if you came along with her. Because of that, her talent, her messages, and her heart people do.

[@alvarorebello6866]

Yes.

[@zeniacaridadpardosantos3175]

This song remind me a good friend who died of AIDS. He loved her, and I heard her music the firs time because he show me. Her songs and her way to sing are magical. Its a gift for human beings. Thanks Annie

Exactly! Icr waaay back in Catholic school we would give money to other countries & we all had a cardboard almost looked like how what Chinese use for take out. We would fill it up with change & donate to 3rd world countries! I was probably in 3rd grade so it was 1985/86!

[@jonathanhadden7157]

I was in the front "Goden Circle" for this show. Truly epic. This song was a major highlight.

[@porkulate]

This sixty something year old, somewhat hardened to it all, retired US ARMY combat veteran is moved to tears by your your song of questions and this accompanying video. No life of any species deserves a DEATH SENTENCE for doing absolutely nothing wrong. The question 'Why' is a truly pertinent one. But I hope and I pray as always that these things will NEVER cause us to lose our Faith, our Trust and our Love in and for Almighty God. Because it is from Him that mercy, cures, compassion and Hope for a better day will surely come. 😍 🥰

My little cupcake from Kenya passed away yesterday surrounded by her new family. She left us calmly and full of love, she looked at me and said: "Tata Ninakupenda sana" which means: "Daddy I love you so much" I don't think I will ever recover from her loss, but despite this awful feeling she taught us how to love others no matter what.

How many times do I have to try to tell you That I'm sorry for the things I've done But when I start to try to tell you That's when you have to tell me Hey, this kind of trouble's only just begun I tell myself too many times Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words That keep on falling from your mouth Falling from your mouth Falling from your mouth Tell me Why Why I may be mad I may be blind I may be viciously unkind But I can still read what you're thinking And I've heard it said too many times That you'd be better off Besides Why can't you see this boat is sinking Let's go down to the water's edge And we can cast away those doubts Some things are better left unsaid But they still turn me inside out Turning inside out turning inside out Tell me Why Tell me Why This is the book I never read These are the words I never said This is the path I'll never tread These are the dreams I'll dream instead This is the joy that's seldom spread These are the tears The tears we shed This is the fear This is the dread These are the contents of my head And these are the years that we have spent And this is what they represent And this is how I feel Do you know how I feel? 'Cause I don't think you know how I feel I don't think you know what I feel I don't think you know what I feel You don't know what I feel
