FIRST TIME REACTING TO | The Police Synchronicity 1

[@Canucklehead557]

Synchronicity. The definition of everything INCLUDES nothing, the definition of nothing EXCLUDES everything. Are we everything, nothing, anything or something?

[@-R.Gray-]

Sting was into the writings of psychologist Carl Jung at the time, who came up with the term synchronicity for a hidden connection between seemingly unrelated events.

[@DocRock71]

Definitely need to do Synchronicity 2 also!

[@FrankenstienArchive]

Taken from an old Last Exit song 1975!

[@kevinlockwood1434]

Stewart Copland was who got me interested in playing drums

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

🙌

[@Troy_In_The_80s]

YES do sync 2

[@matthewdooley7855]

Moral of this song - we're all connected. Tons of energy in this song, love it! All this sound, from only 3 people. When they do it live, they get a lot of call and response going at the end. It's funny because it's got an island vibe, but it's a lot faster and harder than you would expect an island vibe to have. Everybody in the band has a big ol' brain and a lot of musical talent! I think the two big Police songs you have left are "Roxanne" and "Don't Stand So Close to Me".

[@gustonzimasheen]

Definitely react to Synchronicity II. Is one of my fav Police songs because it mentions the Loch Ness Monster.

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

😂❤❤

[@rhphotocdn]

The Police, best band ever!! Stewart Coplands drums are just amazing on this. Yes Synchronicity 2.

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

❤❤❤

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

The Police and Sting are my favorite ever to this day!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ EVERY song is amazing. Brilliant musicians... all 3 of these men.

[@matthewlee6168]

"Synchronicity II" is actually my favorite of the two songs. In fact, it is one of my favorite Police songs.

[@DFitz-bk7dj]

These guys had So many Hits in the 80's!! Great Band...

[@TheZepp44]

Another great track by The Police, The beds too Big Without You, doesn’t get played enough. 🤘🎸

[@brittreacts]

Rock on!

[@Ocrilat]

This is one of those albums where every song is amazing.

[@woodyheywood8792]

Stewart Copeland = Drums - Andy Summers = Guitar - Gordan "Sting" Sumner = Bass -Vocals - great band

[@EnochBP]

One of my favorite albums from one of my favorite bands on the 80s. Definitely the time to hang it up because they werent going to outdo it.

[@cookypuss8603]

Synchronicity II blows this one away.

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

Agreed!!!! ❤

[@jons3808]

Two very different songs. Both are great

[@jeffjohnson8697]

Not! Not even close, this is much more superior to II

[@FrankenstienArchive]

Their 1983 US tour was sponsored by MTV. The biggest tour of the year from the biggest band

[@KLStorer]

Sting (the lead vocalist and the bassist) is one of the great song writers of the last 50 years. He has a slew of post-Police music that you oughta check out.

[@brianvernon249]

Stewart Copland will always say: I taught Sting, and Sting grew past me and became a genius. Stewart also stated that the title Sting loves most is Songwriter above all others. I found that response odd, considering Stewart does the scores of movies, like Me At Work with Emilio Estevez, Charlie Sheen & Keith David.

[@shaunmoller2997]

One of my top ten albums off all time , one of the best songs also on this album is the epic Every breath you take love your reaction

[@woodyheywood8792]

I always had the feeling you are super cool...you just got to a new level my friend...Great Reaction...The Police are fantastic...all of their albums

[@DeadBird-wp9of]

Great musicians that became famous accidently - Every breath you take IS NOT A LOVE SONG (it's about stalking); their biggest hit next to S.O.S.

[@dpall38]

I don’t know about accidentally. Their first hit was Roxanne off their first album. All three musicians where incredible. They took the punk scene by storm. Plus Sting was a master songwriter. That is why they ruled the early 80s.

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

The Police "DON'T STAND SO CLOSE TO ME" (original video) 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@robovike]

IIRC the lead singer Sting's wife was interviewed about him and the band at around this time and she revealed that he was kind of obsessed with studying the works of noted psychologist Carl Jung at this period. He was a contemporary and counter-point to the other big psychologist of the day, Sigmund Freud. Jung had this concept of "archetypes" among other elements and this album and particularly this song referred to his research and findings about the human mind and experiences. "Synchronicity" as actually a concept that was coined by Jung in his time, and this album, in part, was an artistic expression of the man's theories. Pretty cool what can provoke amazing art.

[@rtwbikerider]

Piggybacking on your remark, Synchronicity 1 is sort of an explanation of Jung’s concept, where Synchronicity 2 is an example of the concept in action. I don’t think that the two songs share anything musically. Still, Britt should listen to Synchronicity 2 with the lyrics up. Enjoy.

[@jss27560]

They do have a message and it’s in a bottle.

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

Sting "FORTRESS AROUND YOUR HEART" (version 2 is best quality for original video). Sting said this is his favorite of all his songs. It's definitely mine too. Also, Sting "FRAGILE" (original video) is amazing. Sting "DESERT ROSE" (original video) will blow your mind! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Jonathan-iq3sg]

In my opinion, The Police were one of the greatest rock bands ever. I love 99% of all of their music. It's too bad that their ego's destroyed them.

[@AlexanderCalderon-kd6mh]

Shrek also said: "Can't we settle this with a pint? 🍺😂

[@AlexanderCalderon-kd6mh]

Seriously though, The Police are awesome!

[@thetomgibson]

Synchronicity II was the popular song. This one didn’t get any radio play.

[@jeffjohnson8697]

because A&M wouldn't release it as a single in the U.S. unfortunately.

[@jonathanross149]

So much energy in Synchronicity 1. Very different from the more famous Synchronicity 2

[@brendawierzbicki5030]

Part 2 please

[@jesselobo3213]

Synchronicity 2 is the perfect Bookend for this album. One of the great albums from the 80's and one of the greatest of all time as well.

[@featherinthewind333]

Blistering opening track from, impo, best album of the '80s.

[@mynameispaul0530]

The lyrics to this song are great.

[@willfromyadkinville]

very good. synchronicity ll off the charts!

[@lancewolf2451]

"Message in a bottle ".. the studio version to get back to police basics..

[@Someonelser1]

The fast one, a good dance number. Synchronicity II "Is a humiliating kick in the crotch". You should listen to it as well.

[@brittreacts]

I’ll check it out!

[@ChrisMehl-h2z]

Synchronicity 2, is far a better choice!

[@jimmollison]

Always like when you give The Police arttention. They're so good. You might have reacted to some, not sure, but the solo work of Sting is also excellent. Well worth checking out.

[@loganpierce9244]

Everything is connected

[@edyarb]

This is such a great driving song. The layers of vocals and the techno vibe and this song is so awry. I’m so glad you did this and picked up on the vibe so quickly.

[@shellilawler1334]

Sync 2 is a totally different sounding song.

[@jamesrussell6663]

All life is connected

[@PhillipButler1962]

Synchronized is the verb

[@WolvenHeart1]

I get from the music and the words that no matter how chaotic things get, eventually, we reach synchronicity. Even in our troubling times, if you look for it, you can find the harmony. You just have to look for it and be open to it. There's just too much noise now. I think that was Jesus's message that there is chaos, but you can find harmony get in sync...

[@lunadyana3330]

Synchronicity is "being on time," which has nothing to do with clocks. It means paying attention to and listening to cryptic signs and messages so as to find yourself in exactly the place you need to be, exactly when you need to be, so as to meet who you need to so as to end up on exactly the path where angels abound, fortune drives experience and everything works out t to fulfill everyone's true purpose

[@fantasyguru26]

I much prefer part II but agree with you the music in this one is tight. Esp. the drumming.

[@JT-KSOL79]

@BrittReacts Hi BEAUTIFUL BRITT I hear sting in there loud and clear. It’s a bit fast for me, but I’m here for your reactions! And I love the way you have your hair in a small little ponytail and turn your head. Perhaps it’s not meant to each other still nice but your hair is always nice no matter what Long lasting hugs and lots of🍫 kisses God bless you and the family always, you are awesome!

[@lancewolf2451]

Causally connectible... not to be confused with ..casually connectable..

[@philippewahl492]

One more nice video, Britt and so funny, also

[@Troy_In_The_80s]

We're all connected together, whether you like it or not. Which also means you don't have as much control as you think you have.

[@trumpsta4759]

This is an amazing live performance…or not so live? The Police - Message in a bottle (Pop ‘79) German TV

[@karimamlal9524]

More albums the police please

[@farfromperfek]

I still get upset when hearing this song. I had tickets to see this tour. When a last-minute band competition opened up and the band conductor accepted the invite. Several us in the band had tickets. So the band director stated. The Police will ve touring for decades, and HS events won't. Later that year the Police broke up. I'm still pissed off.

[@Io-Io-Io]

The psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung #CGJung defined synchronicity (ancient Greek σύν syn, German 'with, together' and χρόνος chronos 'time') as temporally correlated events that are not linked by a causal relationship (i.e. are acausal), but are perceived and interpreted as connected and related to each other

[@lancewolf2451]

Spiritus mundi ...is the.. spirit world ..in Latin..

[@dimestorephilosopher3308]

The police played into dissonance. Like Stravinsky.

[@ImpartiallySpeaking]

I’m here for the police and sting reactions! Here’s one you’ll absolutely LOVE! Sting - Love is the 7th Wave. (Reggae infused magic with a touch of Every Breath you Taken thrown in at the end kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4m9mqaqltKcacUsi=e1lt701zXqL0XfLK Check it out! John

[@williamberry9013]

I'll tell you of my facing the Jungian collective unconsciousness. The implications have terrified me since 1982. Scholastic chess tournament. I played the Mises scotch opening. In the 1890s the Scotch was a valid opening but in the 1900's it was solved. In the teens the Mises variation was a series of traps that by the 20s were all solved. By 1982, no one would remember it - especial not the 8th grader I faced because his pricipal screwed up and put them against the high schools. I talked to him after. He almost stepped in EVERY trap but at the last second would try some crazy moves that happened to be right. Call it God (as if God wastes his time with high school chess) or Jungian collective unconscious and synchronicity, but there was no way that could happen without some weird shit. Take it from a chess player, something weird is going on.

[@PatiAnn]

Yes do Synchronicity 2 ❤👍💯

[@oreally8605]

God moments absolutely. Sting steals this theme from Carl Jung who steals it from God. 😊 ❤

[@dpall38]

This album sold 8 million copys and the band split up right after. Such a shame.

[@brittreacts]

Wow

[@scottgoehlert6052]

Of course you have to

[@jeffjohnson8697]

Finally someone had the smarts to react to the better of the Syhcnronicity songs. Synch II is good but the energy level of Synch I can't even be touched by Synch II. They turn up the tempo to 11 on this one.

[@PauTay942]

Sting is def in the panty and underwear drop club. incredible band and sting is and incredible artist

[@countryrhodes1950]

Have you reacted to Walter Egan, magnet and steel

[@marklavor6618]

Hi Britt listen to part 2

[@steveburke4373]

Could you please react to loverboy turn me loose

[@shellilawler1334]

The singer has an excellent voice.

[@dannykent6190]

Fun, but 2 is a million times better.

[@Aussie_gamer.]

Hi

[@notmyrealname1730]

The Synchronicity album is fantastic. It us the best album by The Police. As great a song Synchronicity I is, Synchronicity II is even better. That said, neither is the best song on the album. In my opinion, the best song is Wrapped Around Your Finger.

[@kenneth2875]

Part 2 has a video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWapgYOlgdaeec0si=b0rq0G0vAXD71Eyp

[@jonathanross149]

There isn't a police song that I don't at least like.

[@troymendiola3676]

I feel like you are testing me, Police was cool, but from that era you should have heard of good groups like Honeymoon Suite...these guys started techno

[@EASTASIANLEGENDS-mw7ee]

Princess, I literally thought you were gonna get up and go for a jog. I literally did. I thought the next thing we’re gonna see is you running through the forest clove better attic and jumping up and bang your head into trees and just going crazy yeah you are so funny thank you.
