This band's secret weapon is the snare drum. Notice that Stewart Copeland doesn't touch it at all during verses. But then he just spanks it on the chorus; it's part of why it's so punchy and catchy. Next Stops: "Walking on the Moon" "Message in a Bottle" "Synchronicity II"

"Shape of Your Heart" is magical, as is "All This Time", "Mad About You", and "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You". It's all brilliant. The other two guys in the band, btw, are Andy Summers (guitar) and Stewart Copeland (drums).

As teachers... you must listen to "Don't Stand So Close To Me"... its an uncomfortable scenario, but they crafted the song so well... and fun fact, Sting (the bassist extraordinaire) was a school teacher himself, is well versed as an avid reader and makes often references to classic literature. They will always be the quintessential reggae Ska, pop band of the 80's. Simply incredible musicianship for a three man band. Sound easily is classified as epic.

He has a lot of solo stuff to check out as well, but ya gotta do more Police! Also, Jay is right about their energy- they were rambunctious, playful and were known to wrestle and bust each other's chops all the time. Seems like every interview I ever saw with them, they were throwing stuff at each other, smacking each other and being too much.

Though I've tried before to tell her Of the feelings I have for her in my heart Every time that I come near her I just lose my nerve As I've done from the start Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on Do I have to tell the story Of a thousand rainy days since we first met It's a big enough umbrella But it's always me that ends up getting wet Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way But my silent fears have gripped me Long before I reach the phone Long before my tongue has tripped me Must I always be alone? Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on

It's worth going back to listen to the piano part all through it. It isn't easy to hear all the time, but it just dances it's way across the arrangement. "Don't Stand so Close to Me" would be a great follow up. But for myself, I would go with "Synchronicity". The whole album even

Great song, timeless. Music that is musical ! Fun fact, the guitar player actually gave Hendrix a jazz guitar lesson in London when he hit the scene there.

The Police is one my first ever music memories. I was 7yrs old and my brother (15 at the time) got their new album and It just made such an impact. I was too young to ever see them in the 80's but I was able to see them during their reunion tour in 2007 and I'm a lifelong Sting fan - I've seen him 6 times in concert. King of Pain, Demolition Man, Synchronicity are all great. Sting solo I recommend Desert Rose, If I Ever Lose My Faith in you, Fragile, Shape of my Heart. I hope you check out more from them/him!

Message in a bottle is a good one from the police too

The first police album I got was a reduced size, something about not using as much vinyl. When I played it, I fell in love with Message in a Bottle

The lead singer of The Police is Sting. He has an AMAZING solo song called "Desert Rose". PLEASE watch the original video. It's amazing. 🌹❤️❤️❤️

Whenever you talk about Sting, whether it is with The Police or solo, you are taking a step up in creative genius.

The police have a lot of great songs, a few of my favorites are "walking on the moon" and "synchronicity 2"

"Dream of the Blue Turtles" has a lot of great songs on it. That may be Sting, but still, great. Many great singles too.

I grew up in the 80s and love a lot of the music from that time because it was so fun, experimental, and adventurous. That being said, this is probably one of THE absolute BEST songs to come out of the 80s and the main reason I love THE POLICE so much. Hope you do a lot more reviews of THE POLICE - perhaps EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE or SYCHRONICITY II . Thanks and keep smiling😊 ✌

The Police are one of my all time favorites. Sting is one of the greatest singers and songwriters of his generation. And Stewart Copeland os one of the drumming GOATS… and one of my top influences as a drummer. Great reaction!

Outlandos D'Amour, Regatta de Blanc, Zenyatta Mondatta, Ghost in the Machine, Synchronicity - The Police were a full on Super Group. Pick an album, pick a track - almost every single song is fantastic.
@rollomaughfling3802 жыл бұрын
The Police may have been a "super" group, depending on your taste, but they were not a "supergroup," an all-star band formed by members of previously successful acts, like say, the Cream, the Spencer Davis Group, Crosby Stills & Nash, or Asia.

Fragile and Fields of Gold by Sting as a solo artist are exquisite. He is an outstanding writer and arranger. But the Police played the soundtrack of my young adult years. Brash, spare, fresh, sad, hopeful.... And Copeland's percussion is still innovative and Magic, magic, magic.

One of the greatest songs ever done. I was a teenager when this came out and was going through some brutal stuff with my family. This song really helped me pull through what was happening and I was able to disconnect and escape if only for a couple of minutes. Thank you for reviewing such a masterpiece.
