This one of those legendary three piece bands. Also as they all are great artist, Stewart Copeland is incredible drummer and his drumming was like a swiss clock...

[ColinCarFan]

We saw Sting at Thetford Forest Live last month. I was frankly amazed that as a 72 year old (!!!!) he was still singing as well as when I saw him at Twickenham in 2007. Incredible artist.

This nudged the old memory banks. I was 24 in '83 when this song came out and I can remember it being played everywhere, constantly. It was the song of the summer of '83 in my mind.

[johannbulant]

Sting is one of my favorite Singer !
Thank's for that ! 😊

[jmcrf]

Every little things she does is magic 🥳

[gregthomas]

The sweetest yet darkest tune, genius

The bed's too big without you. Bring on the night.My favorites from them.

I credit this song for making me a better person. It made me realize that I should question my motivation for doing something as well as the action.

I saw the Police live back in 1981 during the Ghost In The Machine tour. This song was on their next album but I didn't go see them that time. Didn't realize that Synchronicity would be their last album. Another fun thing about the concert I saw in '81 was that the warm up band was Joan Jett and the Blackhearts who had the number 1 hit right then, I Love Rock and Roll.

For years I watched people dedicate this to their loved ones with no clue what the song really was about.

Another song that suffers from this is “Love Song” by Tesla. It’s a song about a breakup and reassuring the dumped person that they’ll find someone else someday.

[aaronjohnson]

Desert Rose and Fields of Gold are both worth a listen especially the guest vocals in Desert Rose, and Don't Stand so Close to Me is about a student who crushes on their teacher.

[kajlennartsson]

Thank you Beth. It's always fun to dance together with you 💃🕺🌹🌹🌹❤

[gryffydd]

The Police did several songs that sound cheerful, but have dark themes. Invisible Sun is about street violence. Every Little Thing She does is Magic is about never finding courage to confess love to someone. Wrapped Around your Finger is about revenge on a former boss or leader who was controlling. Still great music though, and amazing lyrics- often with literature references like mythology.

1984 vibe galore! the way you explained it was even better than what I remembered it was... making it even more sinister! it fits perfectly today! then your video became even deeper! to me, music is, like we say in french: "la fontaine de jouvence!" or "the fountain of Youth!" thank you for another awesome vid!

[manwithmountain]

The demo for the song was just released in YT. Andy and Stewarts' contribution to the song made it what it is.

[peterdemoose]

This is frequently referred to as "the stalker song" by radio DJs in the US.

[URnickel_MYcents]

I DO greatly enjoy listening to your reactions, and yes, your happy personality always puts me in a wonderful mirror neurons 'great mood', as well
😅😂😂😂 13 different Pianists 😅😂😂😂
Sorry, I thought you said something very different at first !!! Caught me off guard and made me laugh

[billbois]

When The Police were touring behind their first album, their show at The Paradise in Boston was broadcast on the radio. Sting had laryngitis and his unique voice was even more fascinating. I taped in and wore that cassette out. It's available here on YouTube.
