    It’s a stand up bass aka double bass. Finger picking instead of using a bow is the innovation of Jazz players back in the early 1900’s.
    The Police are one of my all-time favorite bands. So many great songs, both hits and deep cuts.

    The Police was one of the best bands of the eighties….legendary! Sting, the lead singer also had a very successful solo career! They did say this song is not a love song but rather about someone obsessed! Stalker type behavior! Sting is playing a Bass, I believe, not to be confused with a Cello because they are different instruments! Great song… classic!❤️❤️

    Written by Sting. Produced by The Police + Hugh Padghem. 1983.
    Sting: lead vocal, bass, synthesizers.
    Andy Summers: guitar, piano.
    Stewart Copeland: drums.
    The Police: backing vocals.
    Godley + Creme: direction of the video.
    Andy graduated from CSU Northridge in 1972. Stewart is the only American. 🇺🇲 Sting + Andy are British. 🇬🇧
    The Police were in The Bahamas. Sting + Stewart Copeland were constantly arguing + laying temper tantrums. The infighting was so bad that Andy Summers left the house to look for help. Luckily, the late George Martin, producer of The Beatles, was nearby. Andy talked to George.
    His advice was relayed to Andy. Then, Andy returned. Sting + Stew stopped their bickering for the meantime.
    Meanwhile, Spandau Ballet was working on their album True on another side of the island! 😃 SB was on the rise! 🤯
    1 year later, Sting met Spandau Ballet at the Band Aid recording session, London, UK. 🇬🇧
    Yet, The Police was slowly breaking up. 😖😖😖 Sting + Stew could not even agree on how to play Every Breath You Take. 😖 This was a song on the final full studio album.
    Information c/o Andy Summers: I was at his book signing! 😃
    Do not think of EBYT as only a stalker song: think of it as a break up of The Police + wishing the band was like it was on their 1st album.
    Sample. Puff Daddy sampled this. He made his rap into a tribute of Biggie Smalls. Guest singer is Faith Evans, widow of Biggie.
    RIP Biggie, Sir George Martin.
    Suggested next Police video: Synchronicity 2. 🎸🥁👨‍🎤🎸🎹

    Record facts:
    --Despite Sting saying "Every Breath You Take" is about a stalker, people still use it as a WEDDING DANCE SONG! (WTF, IKR...?)
    --The 45rpm of "Every Breath You Take" had a CD-only track on its b-side called "Murder By Numbers". Unless it's on a deluxe reissue of the "Synchronicity" album, that's its only time on vinyl.
    --By surprise during Frank Zappa's final tour, Sting sang a jazz version of "Murder By Numbers" with Zappa's band. It was included as a CD-only track on Zappa's 1989 album "Broadway The Hard Way". Just like "Synchronicity", the vinyl version didn't have room for the song on it.

    Sting actually sued P. Diddy (or as he was known during the 90’s, Puff Daddy), because P. Diddy used the melody without asking for permission from Sting, and Sting won the case - But they became friends later on, so it’s all good now.
    And the instrument he uses is called a double bass (bigger than the originally known cello, which is slightly smaller in both height and size)

    Okay guys, this is going to be a bit long-winded, but I'll try and be as brief as possible. First, I love your stuff! You have GREAT energy and you always bring a huge smile to my face. Second, the song IS about stalking, so you both NAILED it. I always thought is was a love song until about 10 years ago. Ha! And third....never start a sentence with the word "and". No wait, that wasn't it...sorry. THIRD, (and this is the part where your going to think I'm bat sh** crazy) this is the second time while watching one of your reactions that orbs (little balls of light) have been flying around the room with you. In this video, check at the 1:10 mark. It happened at least two more times in this one, but I didn't get the times. The other video was Disturbed, "The Sound of Silence". Check at the 3:34 and 4:07 marks. Anyway, just thought I'd let ya know. Weird, but true. (No, I don't smoke, but maybe I should start). Be well and thanks for all the good vibes!

    This song is in my all time top ten . It just takes me instantly back to being 15 & having Stings poster on my wall. He was wearing a v v expensive suit & looked like a male model....happy sigh....

    You should listen to one of the Fore Fathers of Punk Rock music!!! They’re the first Black Punk Rock band called “Death” from Detroit Michigan in 1971. They went into obscurity and Punkers forgot about them!!! My favorite are Politicians in my eye, Keep on Knocking, or Freakin out?!? There’s plenty more though....
