Back when music was still music-people actually played instruments, wrote their own songs and sang their own songs with their real voices-lol. They couldn't write a song like this today- the music executives wouldn't even give them a chance I'd wager.
You can see it however you like but watching the video, listening to the lyrics or even an interview with Sting will show it as a stalking song. I remember a reporter asking Sting about this song's popularity at weddings, he laughed, saying, "Well, if that's the case I wish them luck."
It's a great song, I'd go as far to say one of the best ever recorded- but it is a song about stalking.
i remember being at a seminar where the speaker pointed out how messed up we are about love as a society when this is one of the most requested songs at weddings...... interesting
i would have to agree with lettato, this (original) version is THE best !!!... bar none, brings back great memories of hearing on the radio and seeing on MTV when MTV was actually good
Sorry, to me this is the song of of the 80's or 90's, whatever, but just listening and looking at the video, simplistic and artistic and Sting alone playing the double bass will make any guy's dick stand ans any gal's pussy wet !!!
P didy took a gr8 song and put his own thoughts and feelings to it. Both versions have a meaning to both artists. If you listen to the guitar and the bass of both songs they are the from the original. The Police song and the P diddy song are both about losing someone.
So did Weird Al when he took Coolio's song Gangster's Paradise and made it his own. But Sting didn't cry to Puff Daddy about re-making it like Coolio cried to Weird Al.
And Sting's version is about control, big-brother surveillance, and stalking...read his interview about the song. :)
This is one of the most misinterpreted songs ever. It is about an obsessive stalker, but it sounds like a love song. Some people even used it as their wedding song. Sting wrote it after separating from his first wife, Frances Tomelty.
That piece of literary tripe and the subsequent movie adaptations are macabre fabrications to entertain the dull imaginations of the masses, and are so undeserving of a true work of art such as this song.
naw she cheated on him "every vow you break" wedding vows um... yeah... hes confused cause well wouldnt you be if the person you loved like cheated on you
I cant believe how people can't understand how this song is not about stalking, listen to the lyrics. It can't be about a girl who you admire at a distance, because he was singing this about his ex wife. " Every vow you break, every move you make," refrenced to his own marriage. "my cruel heart aches," Hence, he doesnt have the girl no more. watever its a creeper song, ppl get it confused with some fantasy love dovey rubbish,
It's about stalking. "Sting said he was disconcerted by how many people think the song is more positive than it is. He insists it's about unrequited love (the song was written at the time he and his then wife divorced) about the obsession with the lost lover, the jealousy and surveillance that followed. When asked why he appears angry in the music video Sting told BBC Radio2 "I think the song is very, very sinister and ugly and people have misinterpreted it as being a gentle, little love song."
ITS NOT ABT STALKING...its abt watching a girl beside you, that you know will never be yours...or has been yours and lost her and still long for her...I do it as well...I dnt stalk a girl but i notice her beauty everytime i am beside her.
Before we started saying someone was a stalker we said they were (maybe just a little bit too much) in love. The whole stalking thing started after this song came out. His "poor heart aches" and he can't take his eyes off the girl. Love--i.e. true love, which is always impulsive--has become a crime.
Every Breath You Take is a song written by Sting and originally performed by The Police. It was released on their 1983 album Synchronicity. The song beknownst to the fans is about Stings marriage ending up in a divorce, this song was his way of telling his former wife I will always watch you in an ominous manner; stalking, yet everyone always thinks of it as a love song. SO DON'T JUST WRITE STUPID OPPINIONS!!!! I like the song 2 so i wanned some info' :P :D .
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
lmao this is hilarious all the people who think its about being a stalker. it is 100% about a UK game show called Big Brother, sting said it himself. Think of a gameshow like Survivor where people are backstabbing and trying to win then listen to it and the lyrics. LOL, feel stupid?
Lol no its not at all about that. First off Big Brother started in 2001 and Sting wrote this song in 1983. Secondly, Sting said when he wrote the song he was thinking about the concept of Big Brother from the book Nineteen Eighty Four (not the show!) and its ability to watch and control everything in society. It is actually about a character who lost his love and is obsessed with her so he watches her constantly (AKA a stalker).
My absolute favorite song in the whole world. I remember listening to it over and over again when I couldn't sleep. I saw the Police when they had their reunion tour 2 years ago. It was amazing!
I´m from Czech republic (Europe - Prague) and this song belongs to my favorite. Neather I love Def Leppard, Queen, Brian Adams, Bruce Springsteen, U2 ata. Because I´m "1972". It´s great to see the music conect people around the world. Be in luck!
