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
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
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.

[@michaelkottler]

100% dope AF everyone-can-relate single from an album of monster tracks. The epoch during which this dropped was one of amazing new sounds and The Police deserve credit for being a tight part of that brave new world.

nobody right now is writing songs like this that will feel fresh, innovative, groundbreaking 40 something years later

[@Simple5.0]

It’s because all good songs have already been written.

[@victorymansions]

Sam Fender 'All Is On My Side'. That guy is taking it back to the simple band setup with true hard earned talent. Very refreshing to see someone doing that in the modern age.

[@juanaltredo2974]

havent heard it, but its going to be difficult that it transcends and remains relevant like these mainstream songs from 40 something years ago, because good songs nowadays are marginalized to a fringe audience@@victorymansions

Why is everyone bitching about the video? It was the 1970's, music videos weren't a big deal back then. Most people didn't even get a chance to see them. Even seeing what the band looked like was a privilege back then.

[@eudaimonia359]

for 1970's, their mindset and the videographers were way ahead of the time.
