The Police Secret Journey Movie

[aynrandgirl]

Did The Police ever do a proper video for this song?

[PhantomMarquis]

Wonderful use of the Synchronicity photoshoot footage.

[poetuvdapeople]

The Police is my all time favorite band and Ghost In The Machine is my favorite album out of their disocgraphy!!!!

[MsJayney1]

That is correct... this film was made at the time of Synchronicity... and Secret Journey is on Ghost in the Machine... oh well great songs on both albums... greatest band to walk the earth. :-)

[spooksagain]

I wished they wrote a few more like this one!!! Superb!

[TheMrCaddyshack]

This is definitely my favorite Police song of all time. My recent experiences seem to connect to the lyrics, which is pretty ominous.

[76207620r2]

The video actually does match the song; contained are the mysteries of Holiness

[mwwillis901]

I've always enjoyed this song... the only problem with this video is that it doesn't match the song. The images are from the Synchronicity album, but Secret Journey wasn't on Synchronicity... it was on Ghost In the Machine, the album before that. I still love the song anyway

[wuckle]

Nice vid - never seen that before

[Marisa20XI]

woah....you should watch this, stoned lol! This is one of those songs where you feel like you're waking into a dream, then dreaming into reality...This is when songs had depth and you actually had to make GOOD music to be on radio or T.V. lol! I LOVE the police, but when I think of the "sound" that they had, it always comes back to this song. Great vid!

[jamesnewton777]

I have seen light in the darkness. from dark energies. the living light is awesome. to see forever in GOD's(JESUS CHRIST'S) domain. The glorified body. the forever man.to see forever is to see the back off your head, you are a continuum. you go on forever.

[MamaLena71]

Can't help but LOVE it!!!

[miguelbaptista]

One of their best songs!

[carribou92]

elle fait voyager....

[jwahh]

I dig that skeleton at the beginning.

[belletrivia]

Great little film

[Netriderceo]

I've always believed that "Secret Journey" and "Darkness" were two parts of the same story.

[Netriderceo]

I've always believed that "Secret Journey" and "Darkness" were two parts of the same story.

[Netriderceo]

@Netriderceo They are! The secret journey is dealing with depression! Listen to the lyrics to both songs!

[doublemandala]

I will say, that I agree with all the positive posters here...for me, this song has always resonated a deep truth that I have applied to in my life...you will find this love you miss...

[3MC4]

who wrote it?

[MJLU280]

@3MC4 Sting wrote this one, love the bassline and guitar intro.

[theoriginalnathan]

guitar in this reminds me of the tune to the exorcist in the verses

[drmrboy29]

The entire beggining remindes me of a man walking in a crowd, then he stops and feels light headed and passes out, thats were the band begins to ease in and when he is completly out cold and everyone is surrounding him, his mind replays a time when he was most happy...If thats not weird or anything.

[jazzytds]

One of their most haunting, but spiritual songs created. Its all about the journey of self and soul...Sting is a damn genius.

[MJLU280]

This was always one of my favorite Police tunes, Andy's intro sets the mood. Ghost is the best, the last few songs on that album are incredible.

[piginasack]

@MJLU280 - Agreed. There is something timeless about this album. More so than the others. All brilliant though...

[LewisTheDogue]

One of the best Police songs ever!

[jwahh]

Haunting and somber.. agree, one of their best.

[tcwhpgh]

Gotta love them, but this song is their best!

[vyrgo84]

beautiful!!!!

[catsgotmytongue1]

Sting was a damn fool for leaving. It took three men to make genius, not one over- important bass player.

[musicxcraze]

The Police were sooo great.

[popesweetjesus253]

that one riff reminds me of Vicarious by Tool

I love it!

[olpap53]

this is a true song .... just figure

[MrTrecchina]

my oscar for ignorance in music goes to you MONKCR with respect to costarica your country i can't remember any outstanding musicians coming from there can you if sting music is boring god help you i wonder haw old are you to make you say such stupidity common hermano think before posting

[wsdasda]

I know they got back together all last year but ,why won't the Police come with a new album or would that wreck the cataloge ?

[frearrifo]

me encanta ese efecto de guitarra !!

[MsLittleLIL]

MINE TOO! THE BEST!

[aynrandgirl]

This is my favorite Police track. I never understood why this wasn't a big hit for them.

[greekdub]

You're cool, huh.

[deussolinvictus]

Mine too. I love this song.

[verucasalt337]

everyone knows that sting was better with the police. there are a few good sting songs, but a lot of great police songs, and some of them were by andy summers. try omegaman.

[hugfrombug]

I'm tired of Police vs. Sting stuff. I love both Sting solo and a few Police songs, but I'm not as huge of a fan of the Police - only select songs. But you know what, for the most part - they're still STING songs. So it doesn't matter to me.

[squirefullbassist]

Synchronicity and Ghost in the Machine, the best albums of one of the best bands!

[unoconstructora]

muy buena placa!!!!

[jrlynn79]

This was released as a single, I never knew that till now.Awesome song!

[racerxjj67]

If my memory serves me well, I think Copeland wrote this song.

[AcousticTreat]

No, it is a Sting song. Inspired by Arthur Koestler.

[Oblivion776]

Excluding Darkness, the Police songs you don't like are undoubtedly written by Copeland. He was an amazing drummer, but not the best songwriter.

[racerxjj67]

I liked Miss. Gradenko.

[sinclairnewport]

I love coplands songs ...his and andys odd song broke the albums up to another police dimension...showing the other side with stings voice..

also I love stews backing vocal on invisible sun..

the sting without them would of only been half as good and that is FACT

[Oblivion776]

Meh, for each his own. I agree that Copeland and Summers are what make The Police "The Police", and I love their playing, but I generally don't like Copeland's songs.

[Marcuskristicus]

@sinclairnewport

"the sting without them would of only been half as good and that is FACT "

I think Sting kind of proved that with his solo work.....

[MrCamilojones]

One of the best song ever written in the whole world.

[iburn4u]

Ghost is the best album they did and this is THE best song.

[jsupe]

Probably one of their most riveting, evocative and atmospheric songs. Most likely the most brilliant song they wrote in their five or six short years together.

[comana1]

right on dude. This is their best and by far most underated album: no question on my part.

[poetuvdapeople]

@jsupe They have many brilliant songs!!!! :-)

[jazzytds]

@jsupe Absolutely. This is pure emotion and heart quenching...its a journey the mind takes via their music.

[BanOxyCred]

I consider that Synchronicity is the best

80's music album...much better than thriller and apetite for destruction and other I considered great. Ghosts in the machine could be one of the police albums.

[cbfeeling]

The sound of Zen.

[bds1167]

phenomenal video from the Greatest band of all times----

[WhiteWolfDief]

so cool!!

[konked]

This has already the guitar picking which excels on "Every Breath You Take" and great guitar synth sweeps.

[jga457]

Excellent  video!

[sid77777]

Well Done, nice vid

[projectsnowflake]

the best of sting and the police love the meaning to this song.

[Bullitt54321]

One of The Police's most underrated (and best) songs...

[fsusailor]

Same here.

I always liked Ghosts in the Machine over Synchronicity.

[Discle]

I have to agree Bullitt, a very powerful song. I don't think this song received the attention it deserved (in my opinion). This song is a true gem from The Police.

[mclaren450]

Synchronicity is my favorite album

[solimiansky]

Ghost was their best album.

[davevontexas]

@2:55 = Man Ray reference. Considering how Sting and Andy were always at each other's throats, I think he's very obliquely calling them both fags. Like, in a bad way.

[charziparzi]

I thought it was Stewart and Sting clashing?

[messageinabottle79]

Did they ever play this song live??

[saga55]

yes of course on ghost tour in USA ( 1982) but only a few shows when this single was released in America

[marklp1]

"you will see light in the darkness....you will make some sense of this...when you've made your secret journey you will be a holy man"

Classic stuff

[galaxigrl68]

I'd actually almost completely forgotten about this song. It's brilliant, I think, as is the rest of this album. But then, I don't think The Police released anything but amazing material from beginning to end. Sting, on the other hand, leaves quite a bit to be desired as a solo artist unless you like boring doldrum "adult" music... OH and if you are a Police fan- be sure to check out Klark Kent, which is Stewart's "Solo" project. It's wicked cool stuff.

[dhunninghake]

I think that Sting has released some rather amazing albums (and,yes, some duds). Nothing Like the Sun and Dream of the Blue Turtles are thoughtful and powerful albums that blended jazz and rock styles. They're energetic and were quite unique to their time. Hardly mundane AOR. Soul Cages was hardly mainstream and is one of the most darkly introspective albums ever. I have a feeling you've honed in on his latter offerings which aren't as rewarding as the ones I mentioned. Give em' a try.

[mpatrick2006]

this was released in usa on single, beleieve it or not. i was living in australia at the time and my bro was in usa and sent me a copy, to my utter delight. only it arrived broken, so i wept openly and wore black for months, i was 12 !

[bobbyblue163]

loved them from the beginning

woke up in the middle of the night to house fire, on the radio was roxanne, burned into my hard drive right there.

this was my first concert march '82, boston garden, you always remember your first!

[silmalila]

Personally, I thought the Police were declining when this came out.

I liked there earlier, noncommercial stuff far better.

But that's always the way of it with any band, I suppose.

[ghostsonatasong]

i smile to myself seeing sting holding a book on Jung. a connecting principle?

[glassoul]

By the time of Ghost they were already one of the biggest bands in the world, so it's hard to say they weren't "commercial" before. I still find a lot to like in Ghost. Sting wanted a more pop sound, Andy and Stewart wanted to keep the energy of the reggae/ska influence. Sting won, mostly. Ghost still has all the reggae time sigs and syncopation, but it is hidden by synthesizers & studio tricks.

[silmalila]

Yes, you're right, and it doesn't mean that I didn't like some of the stuff on Ghost either.

I just thought their first two lps in particular were their best.

[pac855]

those who were around in 1981 when this album (Ghost in the Machine) came out will remember how unique and fresh their sound was at the time

[dbj31469]

love this song! was my favorite on the whole album

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

Awesome(my standard comment)

[virenrulz1]

ok AT LAST I HEARD THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chiefsmackahoe777]

what a cool video, these picture are so artistic. So perfect for such a great band.

[hypervisionaryrealm]

Yes, It definately makes me want to take the "journey"! A deep Wholly Mystical Metaphysical Cosmic Journey!

[StompingSpuds]

Secret Journey and Tea in the Sahara are my personal favorite Police songs. Summers was the king of texture guitar. Love the layers.

[Langoliers1995]

love this song

[inflatableclown6]

Andy Summers said in Rolling Stone magazine that this was always a favorite track of his, and he had wanted it to be a single, but "politics" in the group didn't allow. Too bad.

[jukeydude]

This is the GREATEST from The Police! Very mysterious..makes you want to take the journey!

[54spiritedwill54]

Very good song and very good movie !

[blamecanada123456789]

probably my favorite Police song!!!

[cre8ifsage]

I thought Spirits was my favorite by them but I remembered that THIS was my all time fav. Great little video you made here! Really...Great job to a great song~peace and thanx 4 making this;)

[dw2345]

one of the best police songs....great video...!!!!

[CATBOI70]

this song has that chilling mystery theme to it... love this song!!! this is one of my favorite songs... actually, all of their songs are my favorites!!!

[Langoliers1995]

agree with u

[interstellarsam]

EXCELLENTE

[TheOriginalFILIBUSTA]

Extremely, very, very, cool. How's that for yet another emotionally inspired, spur of the moment comment? Nice work!

[wolfgar2]

Nice use of the remaining photos from the Synchronicity album cover shoot.

[think4peace]

This is my favorite Police song and would be on my personal top 10 song list right along with stuff from ACDC, Def Leppard, Rush, The Killers, Gravity Kills, Pearl Jam and a few others...

[bluenote71]

I always thought that this tune and Syncronicity II sounded like Rush tunes.

[kingofkings70]

My arse smells

[chapulincorrugado]

Excellent video! Great concatenation of images... Great video!

[Haeystyn]

the problem with this song is that its too short. It wouldn´t matter if it was a piece of throwaway crap like canery in a colemine but secret journey is a piece of genius. they should have fleshed it out a little more. better than SITMW and IS so why wasn´t it the second single from GITM

[Bodiefassa]

Are you kidding canary in a coalmine was an awesome song.

[mparesi7]

A very underrated song from the most talented and brilliant band in rock history. Long live The Police. Their world tour has been amazing. So far I have seen them twice and I left speechless.

[hasfaith]

Yes....a very underated song.

[foppa123]

just became aware of this fine song

[olyyve]

sur gosht in a machine apart demolition man qui saoule un peu etinvisible man qui fout le cafard toutes les compos sont geniales  mon top 3 :omega man ,darkness ,every little things she does ....

[pegosse29mc]

Super song, beaucoup trop méconnue je trouve

[calfskinhit]

Where is the live version of this gem?

[thepolice17]

one of the best songs they did this song has a better beat than most of there hits

[gaetanbergheim]

Very good song and very good movie !

[JAYBAGGGY]

cool vid feckarse2006

[pcs56]

best Police tune ever

[Urkanium]

Futuristic!!!Great song. I was 12 when ghost in the machine was in the top with master pieces like this..."...And when you make your secret journey,you will be a holy man!"

[NotAValidUsername]

One of the best Police songs never to be released as a single - in the UK anyway!

[chopchung]

never knew why this wasn't a UK single!I think it was in US but i am sure it would of done well in UK.,like the other three did from "Ghost..."

[2kl2klps]

I understand why Stewart does not like it. Too artsy-fartsy. But the song is good.

[PantonyQuinn]

Where did you hear Steward didn't like it. In his film Everyone Stares, there's a great scene of Sting in the mixing room on this great track going absolutely ballistic.

[funk7000]

Yeah, you're right...I don't see how that's true. I remember that scene in Everyone Stares. Plus, Copeland wrote the majority of the Police songs, if not all of them, up to the Synchronicity album.

[ct92404]

did I read that right...that you're saying Stewart Copeland wrote most of The Police songs?! Sorry, but definitely NOT true. The majority of the songs were written by Sting, with a few exceptions that I know of, like "Does Everyone Stare" by Stewart Copeland, and "Omega Man" by Andy Summers.

[ct92404]

oh yeah...and also "On Any Other Day," I think was written by Stewart Copeland too. But the majority of the songs were written by Sting. I know he definitely wrote most of the really popular early songs, like "Message In A Bottle," and we can assume 90 percent of the songs in the other albums

[plumber3dad]

Hey, I thought they colaberated on the songs together. I know he is the lyricist. Is this what you mean? Or did he write the scores as well?

[ct92404]

Sorry I just misunderstood. I meant that Sting wrote the lyrics to most of the songs, but I'm sure they collaborated on the scores. In fact, I think Andy actually wrote the music for Every Breath You Take. Sting wrote the lyrics, but I think Andy wrote the score.

[DonnyandtheFuzz]

Sting wrote the lyrics and made the song's progression. At first, Sting thought the song was complete with only bass & drums, but he gave into Andy and told him to "make it his own." So in one try and take, Andy played the now famous melody thru the progression.

[DonCarlo34]

Vive THE POLICE !!!!!! mon groupe préféré depuis que je suis tout petit....

[marcabra]

This song kicks ass. Underrated and unappreciated.

[eraserhead4]

Where has the live version of this tune gone?

Fantastic clip

[robertk2007]

is this really considered to be a movie?

[crestone37]

Gives me chills...thanks for posting this gem..great film too...

[OtaconNachos]

Nice Video

[nikkikava]

This is my FAVOURITE Police song. ALl my taglines have a quote from this song. It's my mantra so to speak. You can't go anywhere without bumping into you Johnny!!!! Very small world :-) Have you heard the extended 12 inch? Do you know anyone who has it??!

[shore95]

[nikkikava]

The song is "Secret Journey" and it's from the Ghosts in the Machine Album. It's my fave Police song! There is a 12" mix version around but I've never been able to find it. If anyone knows where I could get it..........

[shore95]

my mum has it but i hate her soooo sorry

[nikkikava]

ooooookay - whats that got 2 do with anything?! So it follows you hate anything she likes?! Oh dear. Shame - you're missing out on some pretty amazing music :-)

[shore95]

[johnnybeane]

This footage is from the Synchronicity promo.

It's just slowed down with this song over it.

JB

[PapiBrave]

the song rocks... gotta love the fade at the end... When You've Made Your Secret Journey you will be a holy man...

[rob704]

[05szysea]
