  • This is one of my top 10 favorite videos. Brings back so many memories of growing up when MTV played nothing but music videos...and being in JR High... and going to the mall to hang out and play video games in the arcade...

  • I just wish that, before I die, I could see Sting doing jumping jacks in a spiral of candles... HOLY SHIT, would ya look at that! my dream came true!

  • muy bueno, el mejor de the police

  • "A young apprentice"

    "seeking knowledge of things they would not teach me of in college"

    Sounds like Carlos Castañeda in "The Teachings of Don Juan" which was probably the inspiration for this song.

  • Lyrics are great, sound's great, the video was who cares? 5/5

  • The 80s were so cool.

  • Quite possibly, the greatest video in music.

    Perfection.....

  • I agree, this where "less is more" applies......... the dark backdrop, the aisles of candles forming a candle-lit city and the musicians situated within, just perfect.... atmospheric and beautiful!!

  • what a simple, beautiful, minimalist video & song...no one even tries to make music like this anymore...breathtaking.

  • i agree with everything you said

  • Best band ever.

  • Its not a weird video... If you are high

  • This is the type of song you play when you're driving in San Pedro,CA at night near all those oil refineries all lit up.. I always thought this was a weird video...all those fucking candles then Sting knocks them over...:-) shit is ill..

  • Pure genius!

  • THanks for uploading, docwhammo! Love this one.

  • I have this on cassette and crank it on my dodge neon. Honestly, The Police were incapable of writing a bad song.

  • the third verse!!! where the bass line changes and the lyrical twist happens while keeping the same vocal melody is one of the most bad ass songwriting moments in music ever. songcraft at its best.

  • timeless

  • My favorite song of all time.

  • very wise lyrics

  • This is an amazing song. Stings voice is just the greatest voice in history!

  • I'm surprised only 675,000 hits. This is a classic.....and I'm a R&B fan.

  • In the 25 years since this came out, there has NEVER been another song that sounds like this one. That is true art right there.

  • One of the greatest songs by my favorite and one of world's all time greatest bands.

    I especially like the part when the tables are turned and the apprentice reveals himself as the master.

    Sting and Police songs don't seem to age.

    Absolutely timeless.

  • I agree... I still listen to Dream of the Blue Turtles, Nothing Like the Sun, The Soul Cages and Ten Summoner's Tales on my iPod at work all the time (I prefer solo Sting to the Police, sorry) and they're just as fresh as the first time I ever heard them.

  • It cant be found that often to see such a genius piece of art. Musically, performance, and the clip is so awesome. This song is second to none!

  • The Police always put out the best songs out there,their videos are very worth watching. A very cool classic video.
