    As a percussionist myself, I think it’s fair to say Stewart Copeland is one of the most technically proficient drummers alive today and definitely ranks in the top 10 rock drummers of all time. Don’t forget, like Rush, this is a band with three members so all that sound is coming from a bass, a lead guitar, and drums. Copeland is working overtime in almost every police song in much the way Neil Peart did for Rush.

      Yes, a very progressive drummer (and even played in an actual prog band before he was in The Police, Curved Air). And not only that, a great composer in his own right. I happen to love “Does Everyone Stare (The Way I Do)”, and also his soundtracks to Rumblefish and the original The Equalizer tv show scoring.

      They are one of my favorite bands and music. They have been around since the late 70s up to about 2003. They didn't stay together as a band as long as we all would have liked but with Sting being such a big talent he's still going. Stewart Copeland still does music as well composing. But yeah if you missed them when they came up it seems like they haven't been around like other bands of their time.

    The Reggae influence in British rock in the late 70s early 80s was significant. The Clash had a lot of Reggae beats and you also had the Ska trend with bans like The English Beat, The Specials, The Selector and Madness as well as many others. On an aside Stewart Copeland was in what I call a mutant supergroup called Oysterhead with Les Claypool of Primus and Trey Anastasio of the band Phish.

      Absolutely correct about the reggae inflections in British rock during that period. It's worth noting that there had been an influx of Caribbean immigrants in the preceding decades and they mixed with many working class Brits, sharing their music and culture.

    Hearing this again and seeing this 1979 video/song made me remember how they fit right in with the big ska revival of that year. You'd hear this song played with songs by the Beat, the Specials, Madness, the Selecter, etc. Y'all would really like the Beat especially, I think.

    If any song can be called a “mood”, this song is a mood. They created a sparse, airy, spacey, echoey sound like being on the moon. But really it’s about feeling high from love. Walkin back from your house. Stewart Copeland is my fave drummer of all time.

    Andy Summers had been studying classical guitar before joining the Police and had been recording with blues and jazz artists. His use of a chorus pedal and an Echoplex EP-3 which became so influential, synched up with Sting's ability to harmonize with the guitar lead, then add in Copeland's jazz/reggae beats and the 80's had a new sound. Also, the lyrics to this song are relatable -- when you are in love, you feel weightless. On the moon, each step is bigger but in slow motion, which is reflected in the beat and space between of the chords. I just love it!

    • @simply_psi

    Back in the day I heard a story on American Top 40 that this was the first Police song that Sting heard a random person singing without it being played on the radio at the time. According to the story, it brought tears of happiness to his eyes. Not sure if it's true, but pretty cool if it was. The first few Police albums were reggae influenced. "Voices inside my head" is a good follow up for this one.

    This song is a "less is more" masterpiece. There is almost no music being played, but it is so complete and the reggae feel is very definite despite the minimalist performance. The Police were a revelation when they started, and grew from fun & quirky to very complex and mysterious (like King of Pain and Wrapped Around Your Finger) in just a few years. Sting's solo career went more to jazz, but ever more complex and creative. Listen to Jeremiah Blues Part 1, a deep album cut from The Soul Cages.

    In a three-piece, there’s nowhere for anyone to hide. Each member has to BRING IT, and be nothing less than a virtuoso on their instrument.

    Such a vibe! Yeah Rob!
    In the pre-chorus, Sting builds the bottom, Andy Summers hits those spacial chords in contrast to Sting. Really nice!
    Well, and it's a power trio. Stewart Copeland fills in the blanks.
    Notice how Sting is singing high, but filling the bottom with the bassline.
    Just Beautiful!

    In the beginning they were known as a blue-eyed reggae band but were really so much more. Amber, I love the way that you get lost in the music and allow it to carry you away. Of you haven't listened to it yet, y'all would love Wrapped Around Your Finger". It's my fave. This makes me miss when MTV actually showed music videos. Great times!

    I saw The Police in 1980-81, on the Zenyatta Mondatta tour. I still remember how they got the whole stadium chanting with them on this song. and some others, So, imagine 50,000 people chanting "Oh yo yo yo..." along with the band, and this infectious rhythm. Awesome!

    Stewart Copeland has great solo albums.. My favorite is The Rhythmatist. He went through AFRICA with a tape recorder and recorded African tribes and rhythms and came back and added his drums and music. Very eclectic and a lot of great music and fun..

    Reggae had become popular in Britain by the late 1970s, so its influence can be heard in the music of a number of British rock groups, such as the Police and 10 cc ("Dreadlock Holiday"). In the US, rock radio did their best to lock out Reggae (New Wave also), so there were only a few adherents who had to seek it out, and its influence on pop music in the US was almost nonexistent. We only heard Reggae beats from British bands that got popular here (like the Police) who incorporated elements in their music.

    When I was 4 back in 85, I loved this song. One night when I was tucked in bed there were some drunk guys walking down the street singing this at the top of their lungs. I especially remember them singing the part at 6:25 and it sounded so eery. Scared my little heart out. Never forgot it

    Stuart was also responsible for the theme tune to The Equalizer in the 80s. I believe that was his first solo project. What a banger of a theme it was too.

    I know it's not going to get a lot of requests, but you guys really should react to The Beat (sometimes known as The English Beat). Start with Too Nice to Talk To, and then move on to Mirror in the Bathroom. You will not be disappointed. Their music is superb.

    One of the most classic Police songs! To this day, I will never forget the first time I played this record on my home turn table. I had just purchased a $100 stylus -- the needle that plays in the record grooves -- and put it on the tone-arm. The first song I put on to test-drive this hi-fidelity piece of equipment was "Walking On the Moon". When the song starts and Andy Summer's shimmering guitar chords ring out...I was like, "OMG, that sounds awesome!" I heard, immediately, where all that money had gone. I had never heard a record play so pristinely! This was about 1984, I think. Ah, so long ago, but I still remember what it sounded like. Great music by one of the best bands of all-time.

    Several years ago Sting was playing close by and i decided to go to a local airport thinking he'd fly out of there after his show. Well, he did. And the private gate the car had to go through to get to the tarmac was not opened yet so their cars had to stop. I was standing there with a tshirt I got from a concert in 2000 as well as many cd covers. I leaned towards my friend and said "if he rolls down that window I'm gonna sh*t my pants". Two seconds later the window rolled down and he was right there and told us to come up to the car. Signed my shirt and numerous cd covers. Was an amazing experience!

    Interestingly enough, the Police had a significant influence on Rush during this period (which one can hear in certain songs on Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, and Signals (in production from 1979-1982).
    Examples include:
    - Vital Signs
    - Digital Man
    - New World Man
    - Spirit of Radio
    - Distant Early Warning
    Drummers Stewart Copeland and Neil Peart would become close friends in the proceeding years as well.

    The first song by The Police I ever heard.
    Anyone else remember "Popclips"? It was a music television show that predated MTV by a couple of years. Mike Nesmith of The Monkees was instrumental in getting the network off the ground and he contributed a couple of videos. Anyway, I recall seeing this video of three Brits touring the Kennedy Space Center with Copeland banging on various rockets with his drumsticks. I was in high school when the song came out and, while I didn't really care much for punk, I did love me some British New Wave. The early Police stuff straddled the line between those two types of music.

    Flashback to the 80s when I started marching senior drum & bugle corps and we rehearsed the show in an abandoned strip mall parking lot that had fallen into disrepair. A couple marchers, on blind back up moves, ended up falling into a couple of the several pot holes in the parking lot. We started singing to this song "I hope my leg don't break, marching on the moon." Good times (especially because I wasn't one of the dudes that went butt over teakettle).

    @stevePsutton 9 месяцев назад

    I was 15 when the Police songs started to be played on late night (10pm -12am) BBC Radio 1. Stewart grew up in a Middle Eastern culture, his dad was CIA etc, so there's a cross over from the one drop (beat 3) beat into reggae. Stewart, with brother Miles (manager) formed The Police and recruited the other guys. He is one of the most natural reggae drummers and they blasted into the London UK Punk Rock science in 1978/79 with songs from their 1st album (So Lonely, Roxanne, Can't Stand Losing You) then then the big hit Walking On The Moon , 2nd album the following year. The 3rd album came out in their peak exposure with De Do Do Da .... etc. I love playing Walking On The Moon and have performed it with one of my bands 😃

    I have always liked the Police. All of them are gifted. For me Andy Summers is often overlooked. His guitar use is a unique and Stings vocals and Stuart's drum playing. Andy's guitar is like the gravy in a roast dinner in that if brings out the best in the other two...
