Mark Hollis from Talk Talk declared that he wanted the listener to listen to the silence between the notes on the post Talk Talk days. It's also true with this Police classic!
One of my all time favorite songs, never mind Police songs. The back and forth of rhythm and melody is amazing. Perfection. As time passes you begin to realize how great Copeland and Summers are as musicians. Amazing.
@TBlankk The only reason you think that is because Cas sings it in a lower key and is a lowly musician who needs recognition. I, personally, adore Sting's higher range and think it complements the song perfectly. Cas Haley should be more focused on writing good originals instead of wasting his time on a stupid TV show.
@TBlankk I just looked up that wannabees name as i`d never heard of him and nawww your very wrong. if only those x factor bitches could write there own songs instead of making mediocre ripoffs of classics.,, Xfactor and simon cowell and hasselhoff are satan and i`m an atheist!
Oh come on, quit the hating!! This band helped usher in the last great decade of music. Crissakes smoke a big one and take in this epic release. They don't make them like this one anymore.
Tenho uma bela queda por essa canção: é a minha favorita do Police. Diferente de praticamente todas as outras, esta tem uma perspectiva muito distanciada da vida mundana. Existe algo de metafísico, uma certa evocação de solidão absoluta: é quase inacreditável que uma banda tão pop tenha produzido algo tão viajante e ao mesmo tempo tão radio hit.
Check out the old Roland GR-100 guitar synth percolating in the background from 3:20 on, sounds like bubbles of sound, kind of goofy, but atmospheric at the same time.
this is a classic song.Elvis Costello had them on his show and they brought the house down when they played this song. You can catch it on his show Spectacle.Cyberfit1
I didn't you used to be too fond of this song untill a friend of mine told me it was his favorite Police song due to the superb bass and just the way it was written all together. Now I love it! :)
@Abdruck1 you seem like you have a good sense of music . I love this song toooo! and I need some tracks that are as good as this . Any recommendations ? :)
Good concept. I think those spaces are a main part of what makes this song so good. If you stick hats or whatever in those spaces, it then has lost it's erie edge. That is the point of walking on the moon. So distant that we cannot conceive. Peace to all J
Everytime I hear this song I think how cool it would be to do an extended mix of this song , there are so many blank spots in this song it would lend it self well to the remix concept , and I would intersperse recordings of Neal Armstrong and the rest of the crew of the Apollo 11 moonwalking and talking to NASA on the radio . I just don't know how to do it myself . Anyone else out there know how to remix and have access to NASA recordings ?
We had to do work on this song in my year 8 in high school. It was a part in a big test. So i now know this song from that day and really like this song.
jacobbarjam, first class comment, if people dont like the song move on to ones they do like and stop posting stupid idiotic remarks, just to piss people off.
It seems as if, every youtube video I watch, Some one is always complaining or talking shit. First of all, if you don't like the the video or song don't waste your time watching it. Really, you are going to talk shit to each other like this, be fucking men, grow up. Good song , thank you for the video. Odds are, someone will post something smart after me , and prove my point even more.
oohhh noo!! don't say that to me pleaaase!! I feel bad... jajaj chinga tu reputisima madre pinche pendejo puto de mieeerda, amargado de cagada, y dile a tu mama que no voy a poder ir hoy ¿sale?? eres un pobre pendejo... I hope you understand the last thing, it seems languaje is your best issue
had a boombox that filled the back seat of my 69 vw convertable, this song and bring on the night was all i listen to. 1982. cruising down gulf blvd. found my wife of 27 yrs.
@jonathan63901 u may have 1st enjoyed this famous music from the police back in 1982, but the music was really from 1979 as it says on the original album.
I sing this really loud in the morning and everyone in the house yells at me.. Surprise bitches! HEADPHONES.
