The Police ~ Every Breath You Take 1983 Purrfection Version

- The original release topped the charts from the week ending July 9, 1983 to the week ending August 27, 1983.
"Every Breath You Take" was written by Sting in 1982 after his marriage ended when he began an affair with his wife's best friend, Trudie Styler, who lived next door. The divorce proceedings were acrimonious and Sting incurred the wrath of public opinion for his indiscretion. To escape the pressure, he took a flight to the Caribbean to relax and consider his situation. Using Gene Pitney's "Every Breath I Take" as an inspiration, his ennui creatively manifested itself in the lyrics he wrote from the view of an "obsessed jealous lover". Upon returning to London, Sting recorded a demo version using a Hammond organ and presented it to the band. Andy Summers came up with a guitar riff inspired by Béla Bartòk and he played it all through in one amazing take. The sessions for "Every Breath You Take" were labouriously detailed, taking six weeks just to get the bass and drum tracks down. Every Police LP had been an improvement over the last and the pressure to one up themselves on "Synchonicity" led the band, specifically Copeland and Sting, to bicker instead of collaborate. They could not agree on how to complete the song and tensions flared resulting in verbal and physical altercations that were cooled by band manager Miles Copeland. Stewart Copeland believes that this is the best song Sting has ever written, but disliked the arrangement, stating "there's an utter lack of groove" and that "it's a totally wasted opportunity". To me the gentle guitars, pulsing bass and complex drum track create a warm, comforting instrumental backing that belie the sinister lyrics. I think that the song accurately depicts the anguish one feels when first falling in love, the lack of confidence and the obsession that sometimes follows. The song became the best selling single of 1983 and became the Police's signature tune. The cracks that appeared during the Synchronicity sessions became a chasm leading to the dissolution of the band when Copeland injured himself breaking his collarbone, rendering him unable to play the drums. Sting had already began his solo career in earnest at this time, with Andy Summers noting that Copeland's injury prevented the band from jamming together and dashed any hopes of recording together. There is a happy ending here as they reunited in 2007 for the 49th Annual Grammy Awards and rocked the house with "Roxanne". In 2015, the Cuepoint website confirmed with Summers that Sting, Copeland and he are good friends. "Despite the general press thing about 'God, they hate each other,' it's actually not true, we're very supportive of one another." says Summers. "We had something together that we'll never have with anyone else. And you have to cherish that." Well stated! Read that article here / interview-andy-summers...

Great version !
I love those little résumé you write, it really helps to immerse into the era of the songs :)
Definitely a great extended mix version of a Police classic @Milk Sheik.

I was listening this song today when my neighbor complained the volume was too loud. He said he would call the police. I begged him to do so. They quickly arrived and asked me to crank the volume higher! My neighbor was arrested for a very bad taste in music and not giving proper respect for this masterpiece of a song! Thanks for this awesome rendition of this legendary song!
It's what your neighbor DESERVE! You BLAST The Police.
That was pretty fucking funny miss!!!😂
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
i LOLed ty
Awesome Song!!!! Great 80's Era!!!! I'm 70 still Rock n Roll!!!! Garden City, Ks.
This is a masterpiece thank you Sting
Hell of a good song
I remember actually "seeing" the song as I was hearing it on MTV back in 1983. The song still haunts me decades later...……...
Ok
@@brentjohnson5629 Alright
Timeless again the piano is amazing spell binding ❤❤❤
I don't normally like my music "discotized", but I'm lovin this. Good job.😊
Since you're gone I've been lost without a trace, I dream at night i can only see your face. I look around but it's you I can't replace, I feel so cold and I long for your embrace, I keep calling babe babe pleaseeeee...
Love the mix. Thank you for restoring the other verse. The great stalker/Orwellian song. Mid tempo creeper rock n roll classic. Perfect and on time. I cringe when people say that this is a love song. It's like they're not really listening or they get into the music and leave the lyrics. Maybe it's worse. Maybe they think that surveillance and possession is love.
Excellent version right here, never heard this song like this and I love it!
Stalker song or not, I still like it.
" I look around but it's you I can't
Replace" classic!
I saw them both times in 1983 and 2007 when they did their tours (Both were in Phoenix, AZ.); Each time they did this song, the audience knew EVERY line and we sang along with Sting LOL...Some classic songs NEVER get old or fade away! ;) Thanks DJ Disco Cat Brother for this awesome 'meow' mix!
I give up everything to return to the 80's Mannnnnn what a time it was.
*One of the greatest rock ballads of all time=The Police and thank you so much @DJDiscoCatV2 brother!*

You did a man's job on this classic. Love it. I hadn't heard those extra couple of verses before. It seems a little slowed down but it's just class.
This song rocks!!! You've just made another purrfect extended dance mix.
Très bonne version longue que j'adore merci DJDiscoCatV2 ❤️👍
I've never heard the second version before, but this is a really cool mix with it.
4 year wait, so I apologize.. but those 2nd lyrics come from a political satire that Sting made for a show called Spitting Image (with heavily-caricatured puppets).
ruclips.net/video/LPh7kOLdh_U/видео.html , if you don't mind a heavily-caricatured puppet looking at you.
Perfect !!
Inossidabile brano stupendo in qualsiasi versione lo si voglia ascoltare.
The best extended version I ve heard!!! Where d' you get this one with extra lyrics?!?! Greeting from Buenis Aires!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the info you give in all the songs, thanks
It was after listening to your More Than I Can Say by Leo Sayer (1980) that it hit me how 3 years later Sting produced the rather 'similar' Every Breath You Take. Only took me 42 years to realise.
Puuuuuurrrfect new mix- putting the refresh button on the soundtrack of our lives. Featured in my Mashups & Remixes RUclips playlist😎👌
Every word in the song sounds like it was just written yesterday, I feel
Una versión especial muy diferente que te llega al.alma

Ha! That's exactly what my much younger co-worker said just yesterday when this song came on the radio. My response was that it was really "Don't Stand So Close To Me".
Every cake you bake

Nice.
Nessa época eu ouvia no carro o som do The Police com essa música Every Breath You Take, eu flertava com uma menina noiva, e em um Parque nem olhávamos as atrações, pq não perdia tempo, só a beijava e a cariciava, até que eu abro meus olhos, e estava embaixo de um tobogã com ela, dormimos ali... ela depois que acordou, falou: eu estou perdida, pq meu noivo ia me esperar la em casa pra me levar ao cinema e eu disse-lhe que iria a casa de uma amiga fazer minhas unhas. Depois de nos beijar-mos mais umas quatro, ou seis vezes, voltamos pra casa. Gente, isso foi um passado muito bom e até hoje, não a esqueci.
😉❤✌🏽👍🏼

Adoro
That is what you call obsession but it's still a great version.
toute une epoque j adore avec bien d autre artiste
@DjDiscoCat You said in the description "Stewart Copeland believes that this is the best song Sting has ever written, but disliked the arrangement, stating "there's an utter lack of groove" and that "it's a totally wasted opportunity". To me the gentle guitars, pulsing bass and complex drum track create a warm, comforting instrumental backing that belie the sinister lyrics."...I don't agree with Stewart on this one. Sting was 100% RIGHT because it's one of the biggest songs of all time.I think that the song works better BECAUSE of the "warm, comforting instrumental". That's what makes the song EXTRA creepy! Sick obsession, stalking...This is this guys in the song's definition of love. Your remix makes it even MORE creepy. LOVE!!!
Where can I find the extra lyrics that are in this version of this song? The entire song sounds great!
...I Love this song sooooo much...I wondering myself why...But I just know I doesn't care about that.💃💖💃
.....show....go on!!!!
Finally, my favorite band.... thank you!!Can we expect "so lonely" soon?
My favorite ALL TIME band ever too @wim brama! ;-) (I say do the song 'Wrapped Around Your Finger' next DJ Disco Cat Brother!)
2019 💋💯❤️
