A complete "guitar only" arrangement - drums with multiple guitar tracks: bass, harmonies, leads.
Marilyn Manson showed the song from a slightly different perspective, giving it a bit darker shade which makes it a bit spooky, turning it into some 'go to sleep and have some nightmares' piece!
So, take from the song what you find "Sweet Dreams" are. Hopefully, this cover will get you in the right mood to live through your "sweet dreams". Enjoy! ;)
What is ‘Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)’ about?
---------------------------
According to Lennox's book, Annie Lennox: The Biography, Lennox explained that the song is about the search for fulfillment and the "sweet dreams" that motivate people's lives.
Dave Stewart later said: "It's actually a very sort of existential, spooky record asking if this is what the world has come to. Is this what our dreams are made of? I suppose it was reality, basically, what we were writing about. It wasn't a Disney kind of world."
The song has a dark edge because the band was struggling to make ends meet at the time due to their failed first album, and were commenting on keeping the drive to make your dreams a reality when the world becomes increasingly bleak.
Lennox and Stewart's relationship was on the ropes too, given that they were former lovers and failing musicians, with Lennox recalling it was written immediately after a bitter fight they'd had.
"I thought it was the end of the road and that was that," she said. "We were trying to write, and I was miserable. And he just went, well, 'I'll do this anyway.'"
