i loved the police before... but this song and video (when i was about 10) made me a lifelong lover of sting... love his poetry, music and not to mention he is the sexiest man to ever live... how can you watch this video and not agree!?
This video always makes me uncomfortable...like I'm witnessing something intimate, especially when he's staring into the camera..singing to the woman..love it, though!
It's just a story, for those fond of such music. I personally respect of Sting and his sense of music talent. With great respect, your old aficionados.
I hear a lot of negativity about Sting's music, but he hs beena consistent and vibrant force on the scene for all of these years, and I can only hope that he's got more to say!
Amazing album...this is the last release Ive liked of stings...this record is filled with Jazz influences and the musicians he hired for this album were excellent.
Everything else hes done since this album has not been nearly as good as this or the police...this was a great song though...such emotion...it really hits the heart.
I think the genius of Sting would be his ability to write lyrics that can stand on its own as a poem....without the music. He just happens to be a poet that is also a gifted musician.
@ShaBiCaoNiMa Ok I saw it at the very end of the video. I thought I remembered the gluing money as a bigger part of the video but of course it was 26 years ago. My memory's not that good I guess. Thanks
@ATeam192 sting looks utterly pissed off in this video. i remembetr in the other one he just look s camera. this is such a powerful song i can see why Sting would have a problem putting into the pop enigma video machine, where it becomes trivialized. luckily this song is even too powerful for that to affect its beauty
i remember when i first heard this song and i rushed out to buy it on a 45 single i think it is incredible and tells the story of what two people can do to oneanother i dedicate this to my husband ~ Marguerita Parsons McComas
I think Sting has written better *songs* than this, but this is by far his best *poem*. The imagery is amazing. Don't look at the video, there's going on there anyway... close your eyes and listen to the words and visualize what he is saying... it's like a movie.
(jabba974: staring contest starts @1:45. Bastard just doesn't blink!)
@mickycisme Musically it's one of his best songs, trust me. It corresponds beautifully with the lyrics, and is very very difficult to sing because of the constant key AND mode changes, and very expensive chords
@88Panzzer If you're referring to the video, I somewhat agree! But compare it to what else was getting around at the time, and it is on par. In the 80's, camp was cool!
@ShaBiCaoNiMa - The man was a 'sex symbol' as well as a pop star at the time. This is heavily marketing the 'sex appeal' side! :P I'm not gay, but he was a pretty handsome guy in his day...
fucking genius POET!!

The video unfortunately is worth nothing, but the song, like much of the album is quite good.
The only good thing about the video is to hear the song and look at something else.

Wasn't there another video for this song back in 1985, where Sting is in a cell gluing obsolete money to a wall?? Whatever happened to that video?
