Stewart Copeland's drumming is immaculate.

[@Alpha_7227]

His work on wrapped around your finger among others is just totally sublime

[@samson9535]

Neal Peart was one of his admirers and that is saying something.

[@geckho]

very under-rated.

[@thomsevilla4956]

[@xxJOKeR75xx]

@@geckho He was never under-rated. Every Police song on youtube has a million people point out his greatness. If anybody is underrated it's his band mates.

[@kehdepermit]

After recording this the engineer told drummer Stuart Copeland, this is the song that's going to put you on the map. (as a drummer) He has a unique and easily recognizable style. A Jedi of the high hat.

[@mikephillips8810]

That emphasis on the second beat is kind of groovy

[@jbarton8508]

And then would go on to write & record the "Stra Wars: Droids" cartoon theme. (It's now on Disney+, which makes the kid in me happy!)

[@randywissler9923]

Stewart is a drum God and his high hat work is legendary!! So many ghost notes in here as well!!!!

[@MrRezRising]

Peter Gabriel hired him to JUST play the hi hat on one of his tunes on So (then he found out Manu Katche could do it too 🤣) As a drummer who came up in the Stewart/Neil school of 80s rock drumming, Stewart reshaped the sonic landscape.

[@hokiefferp]

He was already famous before the police. He was Klark Kent.

[@thomasbrissee3251]

The whole "Regatta de Blanc" album is a must have. All 3 of these guys are unique musicians with their own individual styles.

[@kingcassius2586]

👏It👏Is👏Their👏Best👏Album

[@oneidawolf776]

I agree! If anyone didnt know reggata is reggae and de blanc is essentially used to describe something white like a wine! cheers music lovers!

[@Emlizardo]

"It's like a reggae, outer space." Such descriptive precision belongs to Lex, and Lex alone.

[@kramerbassplayer]

Agreed

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

Lex is the cutest person ever ❤

[@scapito]

Can't get enough of Stewart Copeland's jazzy reggae rock beat drumming. 💜 The Police has such a great catalog that I hope you continue to explore.

[@Alpha_7227]

Spot on, Stewart is such a virtuoso percussionist. All of them are masters of their instruments. It just spins me out how only the 3 of them can bring their sound to the stage. Totally awesome.

[@wolfpack9958]

I've always loved his drumming style.

[@RSpracticalshooting]

The groove he starts at 4:11 is just so tasty.

[@WilliamTheMovieFan]

Have you heard their song Driven to Tears? Great drums, bass, and guitar!

[@thedivineedgar3029]

i just noticed something new he does and i’ve heard this for 40 yrs.

[@pdbordelon]

Walking on the moon is a metaphor for allowing yourself to be happy, loving the person that makes you happy, and doing whats right for you. The big steps in life are are sometimes the hardest but when its right are the most obvious.

[@theheepster]

I think, thats it ✌️

[@TheConservativeinaction]

wow great analysis, never would of thought that. I thought it was about life and ok now I know :D

[@luckyenuff72]

💯. Just wish they would do some research before “reacting” to a song. Do we know what they learned from a song? Did they get it? Who knows.

[@smittybenzo4693]

In this episode of Brad & Lex, the reggae stylings "Sting" Lex and immediately infects her with joy no other police could bring. She displays her elation under detainment by releasing her "rasta bop" before branding the sound as "reggae" while the ever so analytical Brad searches for meaning apparently unaffected by the weightlessness as he remains planted like the flag on the lunar surface barely giving us on earth his "side to side sway".

[@mikephillips8810]

Ha ha good one. I've come to really like Brad and both their different approaches to music really compliments each other.

[@ninawildr4207]

🤣

[@mattcalifornia7318]

@@mikephillips8810 Yeah, but you have to listen to the actual music first before you start parsing the lyrics. Better to get lost in the vibe initially. And how do you not comment on Stewart Copeland's magical drumming. Maybe it's too subtle for some.

[@bulkheadsoundchamber2293]

Sting never gets credit for his bass playing, but I think it’s pretty good.

[@mattbarnes8783]

"Walking back from your house, walking on the moon."...C'mon you two, meaning is right out of the gate! Live y'all!🤘

[@donnazasgoat2274]

That feeling after a good date walking home feels like walking on the moon is my take.

[@keithjones6023]

A couple of earlier excellent songs were Spirits in the Material World and Invisible Sun from the Ghost in the Machine album. One of the coolest bands ever!

[@jno5]

I really like ‘King of Pain’ from the album ‘Synchronicity’……

From 1970 to 1980, the amount of music that came out of that decade is simply amazing, what a wonderful time to be alive then

[@andyallan2909]

1960 to 1980

[@timwanwick179]

1970 - 1980 will NEVER be duplicated for it's depth of quality & wide range of music : Rock, Reggae, Jazz , Punk / New Wave, Prog Rock, Metal, Country, Disco, Funk etc .... From The Beatles & Jackson 5 to The Clash & Bowie --- the 70s decade had it ALL. 😎

[@ElectricSoulShow]

The 1980s is the only decade that could take on the 1960s blow for blow... The 1980S WAS THAT GOOD

[@BestofItMoviedoc]

43 years ago and the still sounds so f**kin’ fresh! Perspective; this came out 10 years after man first landed on the moon.

[@IkeReeder]

Copeland's drumming is so on point in this song

[@Alpha_7227]

That's it. Along with Andy's delay sound it just totally makes me the song.

[@gfakruddinahmad8316]

Can't agree more !

[@joesmith8725]

Can't go wrong with The Police! They have many great songs. Reggae rock.

[@michaelduran8627]

This song off an album called Reggatta de Blanc, which is supposed to mean White Reggae.

[@boudusaved4719]

Every instrument is so unique and distinctly sounding in this chill song. The Police don't have a bad album. Wish they all got along and made more music.

[@MrRezRising]

Talk to Sting. It's all on him.

[@boudusaved4719]

@@MrRezRising Sting is an egomaniac but he did write some great songs. Not as many solo as with The Police, but there are a few in the late 80s.

..... driving on a cool summer night; work done; not a care...stars out at night... sunroof open; windows down....open road....and "Walking on the moon" playing... through the car speakers. That's living. Love this one!!

What great bands we had in the post punk era (In the UK). The Police were one of the best.

[@gustonzimasheen]

Used to play this in my covers band. Always a fun song to groove to. The Police was lumped in together with the genre "New Wave", but their early style is essentially a mix of Rock and Reggae

[@przemekz4]

I love this band so much. Timeless music.

[@3DJapan]

"walking back from your house, walking on the moon". I definitely think it's the cloud 9 feeling.

[@josephbrenner2278]

One of the best love songs ever ❤

[@chrisharris7931]

The Police seem like one of the few great bands that are winning some polls on the streams. Still hoping for the Steely Dan deep dive to finally happen, one of these days.

[@langlsd1604]

For a band with only 5 albums, they are amazing. Too bad their personalities couldn’t mesh any longer. They were my favorite band in the 80s.

[@ImpartiallySpeaking]

True but also fair to say it was the creative conflict that created the spark in their work in the first place when Sting was an equal and couldn’t fire anyone!

[@benshafer5198]

Lucky enough to see Sting solo back in late '19; played a phenomenal extended version of this. One of my favorite songs of all time. Just a cool, hypnotic vibe, with stellar drums from Mr. Copeland. ✌️

[@pauljansen1137]

Great guys...can't go wrong on The Police.."Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" next please!!

[@Kari_B61ex]

One of my favorites. That high-hat work at the end by Stewart is phenomenal. Snazzy and smooth.

[@latortugapicante719]

"Herbally invested" is such a killer term

[@enrique4693]

[@susanbezio6708]

Stewart Copeland.

[@retrodejavu6399]

You can really feel the Jamaican rasta influence so vibrant in ska in the early 80s late 70s!

[@joesmith8725]

I'd suggest Echo & the Bunnymen "The Killing Moon" (post-punk, new wave) , The Church " Under the Milky way" (post-punk, new wave/alt rock), Smashing Pumpkins "Rocket" ( Alt rock, grunge, shoegaze/psychedelic rock), HUM "Stars" (alt rock, punk/post punk), Muse "Knights of Cydonia" (alt rock, prog rock/space rock) as well to fit the next Space stream !

[@quarkwrok]

For something spacey with a reggae dub feel, check out Hawkwind: Space Is Deep. Keep well guys and PEACE 🤘✌

[@vernshumway5939]

Stewart Copeland drumming is outstanding he's in the Neil Peart territory.

[@susanbezio6708]

No he's not. He's good but no where near Peart.

[@echopryme]

Best reggae band of all times!!! YEAH!!!! I SAID THAT! 💯 They ARE and they are. 😎

[@mikecaetano]

I saw them in concert in 1985 on their final tour and they were great. When you're ready for more reggae infused vibes from The Police, check out "Bring on the Night", "Regatta de Blanc", "The Bed's Too Big Without You", "Everything Little Thing She Does Is Magic", "Driven to Tears", and "Can't Stand Losing You" along with many others.

[@onsesejoo2605]

This sums a lot about The Police around 1979 - 1981. Andy Summers' guitar sound truly shines above the foundation. Back then I saw them performing this song in German television show "Rockpalast" and thought whoa ! Went on to buy the album "Reggatta De Blanc". Cas Haley did a version on this, acoustic guitar and his voice only but great.

[@jflinn2010]

Three consummate perfectionist musicians who put out five stellar albums, and fought with each other every step of the way. And you just gotta love that driving, constant three-note baseline throughout.

[@faithcat7675]

Keith Richards, of The Rolling Stones, tells a funny story about meeting The Police. "There was a knock on our dressing-room door. Our manager shouted, 'Keith! Ron! The Police are here!' Oh, man, we panicked, flushed everything down the john. Then the door opened and it was Stewart Copeland and Sting."

[@beerbratscheese1230]

I always interpret walking on the moon as being in love.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

The Police "King Of Pain"...Nuff Said.

[@michaelrandall9465]

Succinctly put, The Police's “Walking on the Moon” is about the singer (Sting) being in love. Thus the “giant steps” which result from “walking on the moon” are expressions used to describe the giddiness or weakness at the knees he feels due to the romance.

[@MrJeddYoung]

Wait did i just hear Lex say there was a period where she loved Bob Marley and was "herbally invested" - that almost made me cry out 'Jah Rastafari..King of Kings, Lord of...." Oh to be young again. Thanks for making me smile. And thanks for posting this.

[@nickknight5543]

The Police reunited 23 years after their break up in 1984. It was 2007 and they were a band I always wanted to see live. Let's just say we all called it " The money grab" tour. Most expensive concert I've ever been to and I've been to 100's. It was worth every penny.

[@tommc4916]

My wife and I caught SEVERAL shows on that tour (the set list actually got shorter later on) and every show was well worth it. But I agree, it was godawfully expensive. If we hadn't had a boatload of frequent flyer miles and hotel points, we couldn't have done it.

[@LordEriolTolkien]

Police always amaze with the sheer amount of sound that a three piece can make. There are only 3 band members and it sounds like more

[@3DJapan]

The sound of this makes me think of sitting in a coffee shop, but not Starbucks, one of the mom & pop places with furniture from the thrift store.

[@blaisebienvenue5117]

My favorite underrated Police song is Secret Journey.

[@bryanrains1]

“Herbaly invested”. Love it. I’m adding that to my vocabulary.

[@MixolydianMode]

I was waiting for this.

[@michealcash3995]

Sting’s Bass line is totally jammin. And Copeland making that high hat sing. A true percussionist. The two together are poetry in motion. After decades of hearing this, it still makes me feel weightless every time I hear it. I love music that brings the rhythm section to the forefront. I am totally enjoying y’all’s musical journey.

[@chickenandshrimp1338]

Best drummer. Hands down. The drums shine on this one. A favorite. "When the world is running down" another great one.

[@user-go6zu8sy2y]

This song reminds me of a night on the beach of Puerto Escondido in Oaxaca, Mexico in the 80's Lying on the sand, in front of the campfire, looking at the beautiful sky full of stars and listening to Walking of the Moon. It was an unforgettable moment and a perfect night.

[@spirosoikonomopoulos2651]

Apparently in Germany one night Sting was drunk and walking around in the hotel room was saying..... I'm walking in the room.... after it evolved to Walking on the moon and the meaning it has. The most Reggae song from Police, also they are great musicians and artists individually!!!

[@vulpeish]

^ ^ You may not get the reference of " Keep it up" it means playing keepie up which means bouncing a football on your foot so that it hovers in the air......much easier on the Moon VVxx

Yet your Right! Happy feel song. When you walk home from your loves house giant moon like step cloud 9 walking on the moon vibe. It's hard to get someone from cloud 9 or the Moon down from their euphoric vibe. Wanting to stay there hoping your stride your legg don't break knocking you down. Wishing your life away, life changing moment.

This was the first video I saw of them way back in the 80s on mtv when it was good 🤔

'Walking back from your house, walking on the moon' We've all been there... well most all I reckon 🤩

[@chrisb9577]

I was drunk in a hotel room in Munich, slumped on the bed with the whirling pit when this riff came into my head. I got up and started walking round the room, singing 'Walking round the room, ya, ya, walking round the room'. That was all. In the cool light of morning I remembered what had happened and I wrote the riff down. But 'Walking Round the Room' was a stupid title so I thought of something even more stupid which was 'Walking on the Moon'. - Sting, L'Historia Bandido, 1981[3]

[@mikeelko8527]

Never a wrong time to listen to the Police!!!!

[@SEANBANOG4]

Every little thing she does is magic.....great pop song of the 80s

[@todvball]

...I think the opening line contains the meaning of the song. You visit a friend you love...on the way home you feel joy; things are going right; the world seems to be in alignment. You feel "light", "unburdened".... "Walking on the Moon" .

[@patriciaryan1716]

Love this song! The drums and beats on this are another level. This was one of the first CD's I bought in high school, but my mom played the album when I was growing up. You're right, its just such a good feeling song. Loved seeing your smile while you were listening! I relate lol

I love Sting and the other two, Jamie Summer and AND. Well they were a little Trippy 80's vibe. They were unique! sycronisty was a great album 80's New Wave Punk for upper Class, yet even they started at CBGB'S. Sting went on to have a huge career with Blue Turtles album. In fields of Body and many other great songs. Don't stand so close was a teacher student taboo. Then there was every more you make and free free set them free to kill first done every move you make, later stuff dessert rose and I hope the Russians love Thier children to. Lots of cool stuff. Even played the music theme to Dune the Movie. Was also acting. Oh don't forget he helped make I want my MTV hit Song opening part. Sting had a very active career. Always cool, at 50 played with shirt off still looked 20. Guy was an anomaly.
