Lyrics:
Just a castaway, an island lost at sea, oh
Another lonely day with no one here but me, oh
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair, oh
I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle (Yeah)
Message in a bottle (Yeah)
A year has passed since I wrote my note
I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life, but love can break your heart
I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle (Yeah)
Message in a bottle (Yeah)
(Oh) Message in a bottle (Yeah)
Message in a bottle (Yeah)
Walked out this morning, don't believe what I saw
Hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone at being alone
Hundred billion castaways looking for a home
I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle (Yeah)
Message in a bottle (Yeah)
Message in a bottle (Oh)
Message in a bottle (Yeah)
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
I'm sending out an SOS
I'm sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS

[@miguelurdaci7884]

Every Breath became the most widely pervading legacy due to its poppy quality, covers and remixing etc. Message in Bottle, also quite poppy, remains a solid and pretty popular radio song. But Roxanne is THE iconic song. In itself, it is simply out there on its own. It broke the norms and established the band as unique. Still, Walking on the Moon is, for me, the most sublime.

Copelands drumming, so original and brilliant. As a drummer myself he's just insanely talented. On the second verse he doesn't use the snare once,very rarely done.The rimshots and little licks are brilliant too.There is multi tracking on this but his basic drumming is awesome.

[@blakegregory969]

He's also a multi instrument player. He sings great too. He has solo work on here he did before joining the Police.

Tama Swing Star drum, if I remember well. I played it once, though mine was a Ludwig.

[@nazirkazi2588]

Musical gorgeousity, the drumming.

[@dondrysdale7297]

that's why if guys are intelligent enough that wanted to make it in pop rock, then study everything you can; mainly jazz, which got more important than ever in the 80s to have something else to fall back on. one girl i was involved with briefly in the 90s, didn't like his playing, and i knew right off the bat it was because she didn't understand what he was doing at all. so, you can have the brains and talent, but you still need to understand how to make something like Stuy's drumming work.

[@archstanton9073]

Stewart is one of the best drummers of all time. He's a human metronome.

The song is absolutely incredible. The lyrics and the voice of Sting, the amazing riff and tone of Andy and the drumming of Stewart that changes through the whole song. Third verse hi hat work is one of the best I’ve heard.

[@chessmentor63]

I don't know about the technicalities of drumming technique, but right from their first album I sensed the drumming was special, and now my assessment has been confirmed in the Internet Age.

[@redfred70]

The first record I bought. Glowing charisma and outrageous positivism

[@BayAreaBerk]

Replying from the Future- its Summer of 2023, (Prince and) Morris Day & the Time's '777-9311' being broken down by drummers led me to 'the Pocket Queen' who had THIS song as one of the top five that influenced her. I hadn't noticed how Copeland's drumming changed throughout the song, I'd always concentrated on Sting's Bass playing. Now, I'm gonna go back and (re)listen to it again...

[@TheKamikazenaz]

The breakout at the end with the asynchronous open to the ride is classic Copeland and worth the ticket money on its own. Love the style, love the sound!

[@adnaancassiem2856]

This is such wonderful song to listen to. These guys made it great. The song is a great song, but you need the Police to make it even better.
