Great version. I wouldn't get too wrapped up in the meaning of most of the Police songs, and even some Sting songs, for that matter. Sting admitted he wrote the music first, and came up with lyrics afterward for the majority of his stuff. I always get a kick out of playing this song on guitar because "Oh can't you see..." ends on the C chord. "You belong to me" ends on G, and "How my poor heart aches..." you guessed it: The A chord. Did someone actually think P Diddy wrote this? Wow.
Who cares about the stalker, even when Sting said so. It is true, the song tells about insecurity and obsession, but they are also pretty common feelings at a certain stage of the loving phase. Pay attention to the wonderful confession between lines. To take these "non said words" and declare them aloud is what make this song such an amazing hit of all times: Believe it or not, every breath you take rips my heart apart... That's pure passion.
damn he is so genius, i love this song since i was in kindergarten.. im not kidding.. now im taking my master degree.. love at the first listened to this beautiful song..
This is not a song about stalking, it is about the pain this man is feeling from a divorce and being betrayed. How can anyone think this is about stalking? He even said he wrote it due to his divorce and the agony he was experiencing from that.
The first time I heard this song, I knew it wasn't a love song. In my mind, this song has always been about obsession...Despite the fact you can't ever be with the person, you still think about them constantly...
@polarkreis201 It is more that you are maybe a little too young to know the original song is from The Police (Sting) And this is not even the best version indeed. Better listen to the official video to be found here on You Tube. You will be pleasently surprised. No need to kill yourself, you are entitled to your own opinion ofcourse, but hey, give it a chance, and I would love to know what you think about it. greetz from a Dutch lady.
@polarkreis201 you are really ridiculous.... don't you even know this is the original, or are you just trolling here and there? p.daddy should keep his own crap!
@Porporinablu The original version is played by The Police, and certainly not unplugged. I have to say that this is not the best version, in my opinion, but that is a matter of taste. Calling someone ridiculous because he is too young to know the song is not from P.D. is rather narrow minded and judgemental.
@DirkjeA Lots of words trying to look better, uh? Not working. You're never too young to get informed before judging a song, or before being able to recognize good music. And Sting WAS in the Police, so this is the original version, it's just unplugged. Don't play with words, kid. It's even more ridiculous.
@Porporinablu Sweety, I don't need words to look better, I am better. Giving a reply is never a contest as you seem to think, but maybe you are not mature enough to recognise that. Judging a song wrongly as this guy did is not as bad as judging people, like you do. And by the way, you being 28 years old and calling me a kid? haha grow up, if you can't take a comment than be silent or with more words to look better: if you can't take the heat, don't go near the fire.
@DirkjeA Ok, my mistake was thinking that YOU were the guy, because I would never, ever imagine that someone else had so much time to troll like that, I'm sorry :D But please get your own personality and stop copying my words.
@DirkjeA Hey girl, comme on, give this guy a piece of your mind. Telling people they are ridiculous because they don't agree with you is always stupid.
@superswitcheroo thanks, I only wanted to say that polarkreis, although making a mistake, should not be called ridiculous, and btw,how could this be the original, when this is only Sting? No Stewart Copeland and no Andy Summers, so this should be THe Police and the original version? No way!!!!
Sting surely has to be down as one of the best singer/songwriters of our time...I remember seeing The Police on the Synchronicity tour and being absolutley blown away by how good Stings vocals were - far better than when I saw them 2 years before!
I like all music and have been to houndreds of concerts and seen houndreds of local bands live. And this version of Every Breath You Take is by far the best sounding song I have ever heard of any recording or live performance.
cada juEgO quE juEguEs, cada paso quE dEs tE EstarE mirando...y En cada aliEnto ahi EstarE.... exelente letra The Police, escrita por Sting, esos son rocks¡, y vallaa recuerdos que me trae la cancion,,,pero la verdad me da miedo ademas de romantica es un poco obsesiva la letra
this is the best version of "every breath you take"...the "i´ll be watching you" of 3.37 is just spectacular...I love you Sting, I hadn´t listened to you for a long time, but god, you still shake my soul upside down.
I've dedicated this song to my daughter,we have an estranged relationship...I love her none the less. (: And this version has so much soul put into it,enough to shed a tear..made a grown man cry..deep song. (for myself that is)
@bostontea23 This song is actually about his wife leaving him... He said this song was fulfilled with pain and hate - don't know about you guys, but I can feel it ;-)
This is so great. Sting is a very fine musician, and this song really shines without the 80's sound in the original. When the instruments instead are allowed to live, this becomes good music.
