What to Expect
Annie Lennox's 1995 recording carries a dynamic range of 7, paired with mild sudden changes and layered texture at a moderate sensory level. That 7 means volume moves meaningfully through the track — set your listening level to the expected peak. Tempo is 85 beats per minute. Vocal style is rated soft, though the cathartic mood suggests significant emotional delivery even where acoustic volume stays controlled. Predictability sits at medium. Moods are cathartic and melancholy. Recommended for deep listening and emotional release. The layered texture means multiple sonic elements coexist throughout; auditory layering can be either grounding or activating depending on how texture sensitivity presents for you, so personal testing at low volume is advisable.

If you are setting this up for a focused listen, anchor your volume to the quietest section, not the loudest. The arc is the point of the song; if you blunt it by riding the volume knob, you lose what makes it work. Annie Lennox built the dynamic shape on purpose. Plan around it.
