Grace Jones - I've Seen This Face Before

"Hello dear people! I heard this song on the radio a long time ago and it just turns up in my mind from time to time. This is what I remeber from the intro (I think), it was longer, but that's all my mind can come up with. I can remember the main instrument sounded like a violin playing very high notes, at least one octave higher than what you hear here. I can also remember it being dramatic, like a tango. It also reminds me of the song Voyage Voyage, but it's not it."

neoton guessed it, Grace Jones's I've seen that face before, but that one was also a standard here.

Wasn't the song Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This), by chance?

YESSSSSSSSS! YOU GOT IT! Well done, thank you a lot!
Man, what a song, a bit weird, I guess that's what it got stuck in my mind, but nevertheless beautiful!

And also about the violin part the notes were apart from each other, there were short pauses (sorry, I'm not good with musical terms, I wish I was), it wasn't as flat and even like I played it on that terrible recording, it wasn't --------, it was - - - - - - - - if you get what I mean. It was also as I said at least one octave higher. Sorry, that's probably the worst explanation you've ever read.

Yes, I think it's an 80s or 90s song and it's not Bittersweet. The singer had a very specific voice, like a woman with a man-like voice, but unfortunately I can't remember text or much else except that the mood of it was kind of mysterious and gloomy. It was played on Bulgarian radio if that helps and it was either in English or French (I think), but I'd say English.

Just to rule it out, it's not "Bittersweet Sympony" by the Verve, correct? Since you brought up "Voyage, Voyage" do you think it's also an 80s song? European radio?
