A no-holds-barred look into the impressive life and career of the prolific musician, songwriter, and maker behind Eurythmics and a large number of pop hits. Dave Stewart's life has been a wild ride - one filled with music, continuous reinvention, and the never-ending drive to create. Growing up in industrial Northern Britain, he kept home for the gritty London roads of the '70s, where he started out collaborating and accomplishing with various music artists, including a young waitress known as Annie Lennox. The chemistry between Stewart and Lennox was undeniable, and an powerful love developed. While their enthusiasm turned out too much offstage, they thrived musically and developed their own sound. They called themselves Eurythmics and launched into global stardom with the massively popular record Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This). For the very first time, Stewart shares the outstanding, high-octane experiences of his life in music - the drug-fueled activities, the A-list collaborations and human relationships, and the creative process that helped bring us blockbusters from Eurythmics like "Here Comes the Rain Again" and "Would I Lie to You" as well as Tom Petty's "Don't Come Around Here No More", No Doubt's "BENEATH IT All", Golden World success "Old Practices Pass away Hard" with Mick Jagger, and so many more. From great friendships and creative partnerships, like the group SuperHeavy along with Jagger, Joss Stone, Damian Marley, and A. R. Rahman, to encouraged performances and personal moments in the studio room, Stewart shows the music artists he admires and calls friends, from Bob Dylan, Stevie Nicks, Elton John, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr to Bono, Bon Jovi, and Katy Perry. Using a behind-the-scenes look at Stewart's innovative endeavors that keep him on the cutting edge of the music business, Special Dreams Are Made of This is a one-of-a-kind family portrait of the creative heart of one of its most gifted and enterprising contributors.
