@@mattinfullvision9598 like sting said, he doesn't contradict what someone interprets the track differently as the riff is from stand by me. Romantic or sinister it's your choice lol
Sting said: "I think the song is very, very sinister and ugly and people have actually misinterpreted it as being a gentle little love song, when it's quite the opposite." He insists it is about the obsession with a lost lover, and the jealousy and surveillance that follow.

If you watch the video to this song, then you can see by the look on Sting's face that he's not being dear and tender regarding who he's singing about. He looks disaffected, jilted and angry about the loss of the person he loves who has spurned him. There's a few tender sounding moments, but generally there's a feeling of menace in his words.
When this song came out I remember really listening to the words and thinking it was kinda creepy. I couldn't understand when people would say that it sounded sweet because he loved her so much. Found out since then that I was right.
I know exactly what you mean... But we're not really that old... we are lucky to belong to just the right generation when it comes go music, such a wonderful place in time to be a teenager/young person! We will have the BEST EVER playlist in the old peoples home 😎🤩❤
#1 hit for 8 weeks back in 1983 from their #1 album Synchronicity which was the last studio album they made. Of course, bass player and lead singer Sting has had a long solo career and he's acted in movies too. No one thought they would ever reunite after parting ways in 1986. That's why it was a big deal when they suddenly got back together for a tour in 2007. They did a world tour and put out a live album but now they haven't been together since 2008.
This is one of their most well known songs. The Police are a fantastic band. Please check out some of their other stuff, especially early work. Their drummer Stewart Copeland is a beast!
I love it so much that your grandma shared her music with you, such a gift that will stay with you thru your whole life. RIP Grandma, all love to you JB ❤️🙏.
Bassist singer Sting himself has stated that it is about obsessive jealousy, but also that it can be understood as a pure romance. In an interview for the CD box "Message In A Box" the band members stated that the inner turmoil within the band was at its worse around this time and that they almost lost the song for not getting the feel to play it. The guitar part arranged by Andy Summers was what saved it. Also they said that the double entendre of the lyrics gave it the power and edge needed.
onsese joo Thanks for the information it’s cool to know the background on music 🎶 I’m just a big fan of music yeah I’m particularly love the 80’s - 90’s and love Sting - Police
It is how I reacted to Johnny Cash video Hurt. Johnny was introduced to me by my father. He loved Johnny Cash. I watched and listened to Johnny Cash throughout the years even after my Dad died in the early 70s. And when I heard Johnny Cash’s cover to hurt and saw the video, I had alot of emotion.
They played this on heavy rotation on the radio back in the 1980s. (I think I was in middle school at the time). It was only in my adulthood that I truly began to appreciate it.
honestly...ive only been watching you for a few hours and i love you lol...all your reactions are real and genuine and your commentary is adorable...keep it up! oh you also gained a new subscriber
God bless you and your precious Grandmother! If you look there is a video where puff daddy sings his song and sting joins him on stage. This song was a staple of the good old days.
Bro.. regardless of what genre of music you react to, you are very LIKEABLE. I predict your channel really taking off. All the best. Great touching reaction.
Your grandma used to sing you the creepy stalker song? That's messed up in the funniest way possible. Actually... if you twist the meaning to be about love for grandbabies, it changes from creepy to heartwarming... Mind blown... Thanks for that :)
Ace Halstead yeah I bet. It’s not like the gulf war, the Iran-Iraq war, the invasion of Grenada, the bombing of Libya, the introduction of aids in the western world, and the Lebanon war was a thing😐
I love your Grandma. This is special to me. I love the beat and the melody is so beautiful, IMO. I have always loved The Police and, of course, Sting. 💝
3 Police songs from 1980 you need to hear "Voices In My Head", "Driven to Tears", "When The World is Running Down". Listen to these even if you don't react to them.
If you've heard of Sting, this is why. He is the singer, songwriter, and bassist. Unfortunately it is about a stalker, though most people miss that and it has been played at tons of weddings. This was a massive hit in 1983.
Welcome to a generational classic. I'm sure grandma is looking down on you and loves who you've become. Keep up the great channel bloke. You're a joy to watch.
Glad ur grandma suggested this song its a classic. Always listen to the elders they have been thru everything so they know how things r. Take care. God bless
I love that your Grandma asked you to listen to this, sad to hear that you knew the P. Diddy song but not this one, thrilled that you loved this classic! I have listened to this song countless times and maybe once to the P. Diddy song, just once. Try Russians by The Police!
Kyean Letofsky True. It just reminded me of the times when young people would say “Oh I know the songs I Swear and I Can Love You Like That because of All 4 One.” Then they’re surprised that they were actually released and made popular first by John Michael Montgomery. I am happy though when they hear the original versions and like/love the originals.
Just a bit of clarification: “Russians” was a song from one of Sting’s solo albums “Dream Of The Blue Turtles”. 🖤 th-cam.com/video/wHylQRVN2Qs/w-d-xo.html
Hey man, don't be too hard on yourself. I'm almost 60, and I'm still chasing down musical roots from my life, and finding new appreciation.... Enjoy the journey, God bless you!
Great reactions. I'm loving these! Several years ago i saw an American rapper/hip hop artist (sorry, but i can't remember his name right now) on tv talking about listening to the radio through his headphones on the way to school. He was talking about the first time he heard Running Up that Hill by Kate Bush. It blew him away because it was so different to anything else he had heard up to that point. He loved it then, and still loves it today. I thought you might like to take a listen to it yourself, when you have time. Keep 'em coming, hun! P.S: Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic is also a good one by The Police.
Great reaction! THAT feeling is the beauty of music. Every time I hear Stevie Wonder “I Just Called to Say I Love You”, I think of when I was 8 years old and reading The Hobbit. The Police were a white British Reggae band. Check “Walking on the Moon”.
This song was released in 1983 and was their only #1 Billboard Top 100 Singles hit. That year, it was nominated for 3 Grammy Awards and won 2 of them. It has been estimated to generate between a quarter and a third of Sting's music publishing income.
I love this song, heard it back in the day when it was new, it’s not what you think, we all got it wrong then it’s still taken wrong today. Still a great song none the less thanks for this!!!
I so happy that you have a really emotional tie to this song and it makes you think of someone you loss. That was the feel of the P. Diddy song. This one is a stalker song. He's watching her. Every step you take, I'll be watching you. Every smile you fake, every game you play, I'll be watching you.
The Police are a band formed in the late 70s. Two of the members are British, one, their drummer, American. While they all wrote songs for the band, their principal songwriter is their lead singer/bass player, Sting. They had big hits around the world, this being one of them. One of my favorite bands of the 80s, I'm a big fan. By the way, Sting appeared onstage with Diddy and did his sampled hit live on some awards show, you might find it here on TH-cam.
Such an amazing song, I have loved the Police and Sting since the late 70's early 80's. Although it's said this a stalker song, I see it or feel it differently especially if you've lost one. I see the song coming from the one who died and they are still with you, watching over you always!💞
Try listening to more great Police songs: Message in a bottle, Roxanne, The bed's to big withowt you, also Sting has a lot of His own solorecords since the band broke up. Enjoy ☺
That man singing is Sting, one of the greatest artists/musicians of the last 5 decades. He was the frontman for this band THE POLICE. His solo work is really amazing too. React to "If I Ever Lose My faith In You" one of my favorites...from Sting!
Your grandma has good taste in songs. Back in the 60' we only heard music on the radio. Most of us were not able to attend concerts. For whatever reason. A very few tv programs showed rock singers expect for American Bandstand and later Soul Train.
I'm probably as old as your dear grandma...I remember vividly when this song first debut...Man oh man, it was played over and over again...Literally every station was playing it..It was like, every other songs the station played, it was ' Every Breath You Take '... Oh, btw...check out The Romantics' ' Taking In Your Sleep '. I think you might like that one..Thank you for another awesome reaction... Peace..
Sting sang backing vocals for Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits on "Money For Nothing". Mark even gave him co-song writing credit on the song because Sting came up with the "I want my MTV" line. If you listen to that part closely, you can tell that it is the same tune as "Don't Stand So Close To Me" by The Police, which is another great song.
It brings back memories for me to, but for different reasons. It was on MTV in the early 80's when I was very young, my dad always had it on MTV. My dad always has had great taste in music, I get that from him. You'd like The Police, a reggae/new wave/pop kind sound. They were unique, and they were very talented.
It was also redone by a group in the early 2000's ,I met sting one day crossing the street in Manhattan, if you ever run across him he is super kind and gentle,an all around "old soul".
A lot of people have completely the wrong idea about this song, viewing it as a sentimental love song. If you actually listen to the lyrics, you soon realise that it's 'anything but. It's about jealousy, control and unhealthy obsession. It could even be about stalking.
@@CDO1113 Don't water it down with other Bruce Hornsby songs! If we're gonna get this guy to react we need to join forces, and the answer is "The Way It Is".
correct P Diddy/Faith Evans used this for the Biggie tribute. Just so you know this song is about and obsessive, stalker. But the music is lovely so I think people overlook the meaning.
You might be interested in looking up the live version of "Every Breath I Take" w/ P. Diddy, Faith Evans & Sting (lead singer of The police) - it was an amazing tribute performance, I loved both versions so seeing them all perform it together was unreal.
For any guitarists out there, I am sure you can appreciate how insanely difficult this is to play. It sounds like such a simple riff but its ridiculously difficult to play correctly
Dude when you said your grandma... Sorry to bring the mood down, but when my grandma was dying in a nursing home, I remember holding her hand and I was tearing up and we had a little radio next to her bed so she could listen to music. This song started playing and I was overwhelmed with emotion and meaning. Anyways that's my story time done with.. Great reaction man EDIT: Every time I hear this song I cry
It was and is a superb track from Synchronicity (1983), but listen to the lyrics: 'you belong to me how my poor heart aches' and 'every move you make every breath you take I'll be watching you'. Sting was originally a teacher from NE England . his 1982 first marriage breakup was acrimonious, thus the venom in the words and quite vicious, relentless beat throughout! The video was hugely famous at the time and the song and video was awarded multiple times; Grammy Award 1984 Best Pop Performance, 1984 MTV Best Music Video, Best Cinematography Award etc, etc.
Grandma has amazing taste
LaCrossian Yes she does!
I was just about to say!
Reminded me of a stalker, always creeped me out! Lol
@@cynthialongmire99 that's what Sting intended the song to be but people mistook it for a love song
@@mattinfullvision9598 like sting said, he doesn't contradict what someone interprets the track differently as the riff is from stand by me. Romantic or sinister it's your choice lol
That's what music does, brings back memories of who you listened to it with.
Sting said: "I think the song is very, very sinister and ugly and people have actually misinterpreted it as being a gentle little love song, when it's quite the opposite."
He insists it is about the obsession with a lost lover, and the jealousy and surveillance that follow.
If you watch the video to this song, then you can see by the look on Sting's face that he's not being dear and tender regarding who he's singing about. He looks disaffected, jilted and angry about the loss of the person he loves who has spurned him. There's a few tender sounding moments, but generally there's a feeling of menace in his words.
When this song came out I remember really listening to the words and thinking it was kinda creepy. I couldn't understand when people would say that it sounded sweet because he loved her so much. Found out since then that I was right.
This is the reality of this song. I refer to as the stalker's anthem. This song sounds wonderful but it is about obsession.
+Bill Hunsicker YUP!
Does that make it bad or just honest? I think we've all been a little stalky at times.
Your grandma? Boy, talk about making a guy feel old!
I know exactly what you mean...
But we're not really that old... we are lucky to belong to just the right generation when it comes go music, such a wonderful place in time to be a teenager/young person! We will have the BEST EVER playlist in the old peoples home 😎🤩❤
Thinking the same thing. Sophomore year college this came out. Not old but time is flying by. Grandma! Holy cow!
but his grandma has a good taste :)
I thought the same thing. 🤣
My ex hubby used to cut Andy Summers hair around this time, now that makes me feel old..lol

I love it so much that your grandma shared her music with you, such a gift that will stay with you thru your whole life. RIP Grandma, all love to you JB ❤️🙏.
I’ve rocked all my babies to this song and now I’m blessed with another grandchild, my daughter’s firstborn and I’ll be rocking him to this too!
You are correct on the song being sampled . But the police version he is stalking her .😱
oh yeah it's a song about stalking. x
The best one of all times but at the time most people didn’t know it we were so young and loved the song

Ok, this is my 3rd time watching your reactions today and I think you became my favorite youtube music reactor. Subscribed !
What a fabulous reaction & thanks to grandma for requesting it !!! The Police had an amazing way of waking up your spirit !!!
You know why I like your reactions? It's because they're always from the heart. Keep it up!
I gotta tell you, that grandma of yours is something else! I don’t even know her, but I love her! ❤️ She’s terrific!
You Sir are fastly becoming one of my favorite on this platform. Thank You!
Pretty cool about your Grandma. Roxanne is a good song. Synchronicity, too.

At the time this was released our world was not so sinister as it has sadly become!!!
Ace Halstead yeah I bet. It’s not like the gulf war, the Iran-Iraq war, the invasion of Grenada, the bombing of Libya, the introduction of aids in the western world, and the Lebanon war was a thing😐
You are fantastic JBLethal. You show your soul and it is beautiful.
Police songs from 1980, Driver to Tears, Voices in My head, When the World is Running Down. All good ones
Out of all the reaction videos I've seen, yours are the most emotional and heartfelt.
Grandma knew what she was talking aka singing about
I love your Grandma. This is special to me. I love the beat and the melody is so beautiful, IMO. I have always loved The Police and, of course, Sting. 💝
peter Gabriel..." In Your Eyes"
Patrick Lattanze Yes!! I bought the Say Anything soundtrack for In Your Eyes!
yeeeeeeeeeeees
Plano Jag top songs ever written... this bruddah would love it
Oh yes !!! great one
Excellent suggestion!!! 👌
3 Police songs from 1980 you need to hear "Voices In My Head", "Driven to Tears", "When The World is Running Down". Listen to these even if you don't react to them.
Your reactions are just lovely. It's so wonderful to see the joy of music in someone else. Keep up the great videos!

I grew up on this music. It's amazing to see someone else discover it for the first time and react just like I did. It makes it new all over again.
Glad ur grandma suggested this song its a classic. Always listen to the elders they have been thru everything so they know how things r. Take care. God bless
Mate I just found your page and I've been here an hour now. You clearly appreciate good music! Subbed.

Keep 'em coming, hun!
P.S: Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic is also a good one by The Police.
One of the first videos I saw on MTV, back when they actually showed music videos.
I watched MTV from the day they went on the air, the videos used to be amazing, then they discovered Snooki and it all went to hell.
This is about a stalker ...😱
Great reaction! THAT feeling is the beauty of music. Every time I hear Stevie Wonder “I Just Called to Say I Love You”, I think of when I was 8 years old and reading The Hobbit. The Police were a white British Reggae band. Check “Walking on the Moon”.

Grandparents are EVERYTHING! Great video
It is funny how most people didn't know it was about stalking a woman. I did not realize it until I got older.
Police put out some amazing music in the 80s. Synchronicity! I loved living it! 🌟

Use head phones, dude. You miss soooo much of the dynamic etc!
My friend, I've seen many of your reactions, but I love this one the most. Very real and honoust x
My favorite group in the history of music. Listen to as much as you can from them.
That is such a beautiful song. I've always loved it

Awwww. I really love your reaction ❤️. Such a cool song. And now I feel ANCIENT 🤣
*geez man. I was only starting primary school when this came out. You're making me feel old.*
beautiful
WHOOO!!! Nailed me again! 💜
One of the most precise drummers around.
It brings back memories for me to, but for different reasons. It was on MTV in the early 80's when I was very young, my dad always had it on MTV.

God I miss my childhood in the 80’s. The best! Absolutely the best!!!
Me too!
Watch Wrapped Around Your Finger by them. Great song and video
I can listen to that song on repeat a hundred times over...
You made me cry man. Once again. My favorite channel
You have the best reactions you deserve more subs
Hey bro I really think that you are an awesome young man. Im so happy that you are enjoying these WONDERFUL songs
High Five, dude. Thank you for having a heart.
And yes, I understand that that is stalker song.
You crack me up.....lots of good music out there. 👍😎🎵🎶
The Police -King of Pain
It was also redone by a group in the early 2000's ,I met sting one day crossing the street in Manhattan, if you ever run across him he is super kind and gentle,an all around "old soul".

Whoa, your grandma must be really cool! Wow. Great taste.
Grandma knows best, the P Diddy sample tugs at my heartstrings....CHEERS from NovaScotia, Canada!"
Classic stalker song.....and that's what Sting intended.....total obsession song!!!💜🎶🎵🎼🤟 Gotta love your grandma!!!
You should react to "The Way It Is" by Bruce Hornsby
xcellent records or mandolin rain! One of my faves by Bruce Hornsby...he’s so underrated.
@@CDO1113 Don't water it down with other Bruce Hornsby songs! If we're gonna get this guy to react we need to join forces, and the answer is "The Way It Is".
Joe S yawn😴
Night driving music. Brings back memories as a kid for me too. I liked P Diddy's version when it came out. Was cute seeing you sing with it.
Check out more from there guys! This is considered the stalker anthem lol
Thanks to you and your grandmother.
The police have some great songs you should try synchronicity
correct P Diddy/Faith Evans used this for the Biggie tribute. Just so you know this song is about and obsessive, stalker. But the music is lovely so I think people overlook the meaning.
Grandma knows what time it is!❤
dude, I love the story about your grandma singing you this song!
Check out Sting's solo stuff. He has an amazing diversity in his songs.
You might be interested in looking up the live version of "Every Breath I Take" w/ P. Diddy, Faith Evans & Sting (lead singer of The police) - it was an amazing tribute performance, I loved both versions so seeing them all perform it together was unreal.
Great song passionate ballad. By the British band..... THE POLICE
For any guitarists out there, I am sure you can appreciate how insanely difficult this is to play. It sounds like such a simple riff but its ridiculously difficult to play correctly
Dude when you said your grandma... Sorry to bring the mood down, but when my grandma was dying in a nursing home, I remember holding her hand and I was tearing up and we had a little radio next to her bed so she could listen to music. This song started playing and I was overwhelmed with emotion and meaning. Anyways that's my story time done with.. Great reaction man
EDIT: Every time I hear this song I cry
Try listening to Tears From Heaven by Eric Clapton. Shattering.
Always make me tearup... song for his little son who passed away 😢
That is sooo sad when you know the history of the song. :(
Wrote the song about his little boy, I'm not a cryer but I must admit even I shed a tear when I hear that song
Your grandma's got great taste in music... Geez, now I feel really old, lol!
Go Grandma. Great song
It was and is a superb track from Synchronicity (1983), but listen to the lyrics: 'you belong to me how my poor heart aches' and 'every move you make every breath you take I'll be watching you'. Sting was originally a teacher from NE England . his 1982 first marriage breakup was acrimonious, thus the venom in the words and quite vicious, relentless beat throughout! The video was hugely famous at the time and the song and video was awarded multiple times; Grammy Award 1984 Best Pop Performance, 1984 MTV Best Music Video, Best Cinematography Award etc, etc.
