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 love this man. I saw him in concert a few years ago, and he is brilliant, but my dream is to get to see the Police in concert as a band before I die. They are the shit.
Just used google to figure out what Scylla and Charybdis is... only took me what about 20 years thats not to bad...this is one of the best songs ever. Thank all thats holy for The Police...big part of my youth. Thanks for the postings
To me, this is the best song of The Police. Uplifting and melancholic in one song. The sad part really is that I still remember this song being in the charts....waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy back !!!
best video not because of one thing in general but because its a great song and has a nice flow and few can get that right in a video period. one great video that will stand the test of time.
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!!
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..
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.
I will never forget that i was watching Sting and the Police with who much love!! And EVERY REATH YOU TAKE came on AND i SCREAMED SO LOUD THAT i WET my pants.
Sting just continues to run through the candles and does not miss a beat even though it was said he got burned on the feet doing this video. One of the best bands no doubt!
I'm Black!!! And I believe this is a Classical, New Age, Phenominon! If you don't understand the lyrics then You Need to do some Soul Searching!!! WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
a totaly classic band and there songs of the day were just magical, and still are today.i say to the kidz who listen to todays crap...sit yourself down in a comfy chair infront of a good quality pair of speakers and give this classic a spin
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.
This song immediately transports me back to high school and is definitely the anthem of my youth. The Police were on top of the world. I loved the simplicity of this video and it just spoke to me. Loved it back in '84, still love it today. Damn Sting is hot!
wow.. i just got caught up in a memory that was way way back in the corner of my babyhood.. when i saw the candles i immediately connected and felt a diaper on my booty.
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...

"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.
