Lyrics:
You consider me the young apprentice
Caught between the Scylla and Charibdis
Hypnotized by you if I should linger
Staring at the ring around your finger
I have only come here seeking knowledge
Things they would not teach me of in college
I can see the destiny you sold
Turn into a shining band of gold
I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger
Mephistopheles is not your name
But I know what you're up to just the same
I will listen hard to your tuition
And you will see it come to its fruition
I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger
Devil and the deep blue sea behind me
Vanish in the air you'll never find me
I will turn your flesh to alabaster
When you find your servant is your master
And you'll be wrapped around my finger

songs like this only come once in a lifetime
I agree but I think it would still have done good even in 2024 just because this band did things very different and different is so awesome and still worth doing!!!!!
Facts
But last a lifetime in one's psyche.
its the truth
And they remain in our hearts forever
Someone who appreciates music, knows that this song is pure magic.
Luis Carlos Vargas Durán 🤩
That freaking bass line gets me
'Magick', indeed.
Exactly, it has a mystical quality to it.
Agreed. LA Musica is fantastico!
Who's just listening because y'all have good taste in music?
Just taking a stroll down memory lane
Me!
I see what you're doing and I love it.
I just watched a live performance of this song from the reunion tour. I came here to hear the studio version.
They're both great, but I'm partial to the live performance because Stewart goes all out on all his percussive toys.
@@jerryd1109me too
The only problem with this song: It ends
loop it, End the problem.
Lol
Thank goodness it does.
So true!

This is not a song. It is a piece of art.
Yes!!
Yup! But when they play it live it becomes priceless garbage!

YOUR RIGHT!
@@unclesalty7778 I agree. Some classics do not translate live
This is not a song, it's a masterpiece of the music
My absolute favorite song from the police. A masterpiece 🖤
I want to play this song at my wedding 🖤
nothing like it in the world
my favourite song from the police too. it is indeed a masterpiece.
King of Pain a close 2nd 😎
agree
Who’s listening in 2024?
Hasta que muera 🤟🏽
Right now
Yes im in bed. And its still amazing
Mephistopholes
I am and I was back in the early 80's too, I remember listening to this on my dad's old motorola B100W tube stereo that we had in the hallway of our farm house growing up. I used to listen to that radio alot when I was very young. That radio always had awesome base sound and was just good sounding radio all around.
Stewart Copeland is a calculated mastermind on the drums. Not a hit too little, not a hit too much.
Well said...
Hell ya he is one of the best always be in my top 5 I love his Dynamics his accents he plays light and loud the perfect effect for the song
Copeland is absolute genius.... GOAT.
All of THESE Gentlemen were & are STILL "GENIUS-Level" MUSICIANS Thoughhh #RealTALK
Yeah he's pretty good.
I'm 56 and every time I hear this song I fly immediately back to my beloved 80's :-)
Me too!👏👏👏💖
Umm Mistress
Me too!
let me ask you this i want to see if this is a hard or easy question for you if you could stay young and live your 80s life forever or stay older and have the life you have now which would you pick?
@@johnnycarter2283 easy for me brother I'd stay back in the eighties I'm with the beautiful girl I had in my teens in the eighties I'm 49 now and would love to be there again. Stay safe
😂 3 guys and a bunch of candles and it still rocks better than the music today! 🎵🕯️🕯️🕯️
“Trouble on the deep blue sea BEHIND me, vanish in the air, you’ll never find me””
DEVIL and the deep blue sea behind me...
This is art. I'm 51 and still think 70 and 80 are the golden years of music
Esteban K facts 💯💯💯👏👏👏👏
Esteban K these are facts
You know it 😊
Thats right my friend, how we can forgive it, was a great time 80'
Esteban K just look harder lol, there’s plenty of great modern music. It’s all happening online.
There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them
With u on that babe
Let me have a girlfriend
Yes indeed.... I agree
Indeed. Sting himself, was going through one of the most heartbreaking times of his life, when this album was recorded. "Wrapped around your finger", "King of pain" and "Every breath you take" are all about the pain of his divorce from his first wife.
1111p11111111ppp1ñpñ1111que que bueno
These are songs that still sound better than any of today's music.
The 80s had that distinct sound like no other ❤ Love 80s music

American top 40 on the radio at its best!!!
Ever!
...tenes razon....
How could you not love this song
It's amazing. Just don't hear music like it anymore.
Agreed
My fav police tune
amen bro
YOU ALREADY know bro😊... Sting,
(& his band The Police) he came here 2do a job & he did it, stung the hell outta us...ty
Sting/The Police..🐝🦂🐜🦟🕷(nvr thought about it, but he never clarified what type of sting the sting came frm..lol)
Staggering musical talent, genius songwriting, beautiful videography, and no soul-less auto-tuned vocals. That is why this song stands the test of time.
Well said. I’m in love.
From a songwriting perspective, this is a masterclass in dynamics. Each of the three masters up their game in the 3rd verse, building the song to a crescendo that’s essentially unmatched in popular music. It’s not about volume. It’s not about tempo - but it is (as Jeff Porcaro would say) about “lope.” The song leaps ahead in the third verse - starting the with bass line, under the “Devil and the deep blue sea behind me” lyric - that’s a perfect “on ramp” to what’s about to come. Stewart plays hi-hat and rim clicks up to this point, but then erupts with tasty share fills, kick drum and ride cymbal (on the chorus) that elevates the song. Andy’s (added) guitar part sounds like an alarm blaring: it’s subtle, but it’s a great guitar “hook” alerting listeners to the upcoming chorus. And the lyrics leading into the third chorus are among Sting’s best (and that’s saying something): “I will turn your face to alabaster: when you'll find your servant is your master: you'll be wrapped around MY finger.” What a brilliant twist! The whole song comes alive, with each musician playing an equal part in building the dynamics. This is how songs can, and should “move”. It’s not quantized. It’s not even about tempo. It’s about chops, mastery of instruments, and songwriting. Thank you Sting, Andy and Stewart.
The Police never gets old, every song still a big hit to me
you are soooo right!
They are seriously underrated. Just as good as any other great band from the 80s but rarely mentioned among them.
Even Peanuts?
@@matthewb9955 The Police were actually one of the biggest grossing bands in the 80s. They weren't even in the "just as good as any other band" club they were in a league of their own both in live ticket sales and income which is why they aren't mentioned among the others; they are not comparable, particularly when the musicianship in the 80s was on the decline due to the increased use of sampling and drum machines and less of a need for actual talent.
Forever. Fresh EVERY TIME! 🔥
Real instruments. Real voices. Real lyrics. Real Art. ❤️
High intelligence and personality behind it...a lost age
boy linda >
FAKE PLASTIC
Secte fake
Beats and autotune is art too maybe not for u but for other people and believe or not his voice has autotune in it
It's been 40 years since Wrapped Around Your Finger was released, and it still sounds as good as it did when it was released in 1983. The Police were no doubt way ahead of their time.
Holy shit I’m old
This song wrapped around your finger is a work of magic I love it
I love staying in the rest of the group members they killed this song
this is literally magic, the lyrics and the video are pure occultism
@@ubiratanguimaraes6996 jinn
Still a great song after almost 40 years. The Synchronicity album is a masterpiece!
Especially Synchronicity 2 (Reprise)
WHAT was it 83, 84 but that was 1 giant album.
Amen PJ rose from PJ Shaw
I agree PJ Rose 🌹
I agree wholeheartedly. It is one of my favorite albums of all time. Personally, I don’t think there is a dud on the album.
This song is one of the most powerful songs ever written.
Yes it is indeed
Same is but there Lot others so look deeper o sok
More powerful than "The Lollipop Guild" by the Munckins?
Almost feels like it’s really about Stewart Copeland. Being the founder of the band. Then sting basically took control of the band and started to resent him.
Agreed. Check My Steel Drum Version - The Police Wrapped Around Your Finger by Dano's Island Sounds ruclips.net/video/Z8vmXgIicrM/видео.html

"when you find you servant is your master" is a very good lyric have to listen to it over and over again
@janeydever752 yes, it is
Came here from Rick Beato's conversation just to hear that lyric that makes Stewart hate this song so much!
"I will turn your face to alabaster..."
An incredible change of power. It went from “I’ll be wrapped around your finger” to “you’ll be wrapped around my finger”. When I found the true message of the song, it just hit so much harder. Truly incredible.
This is not some ordinary song it's beautifully written and meaningful as well. I love the way metaphor at the end of this song. Truly masterpiece.
🎉 4:55
💯✌️😎🎧
Fucking love it when the guitar changes and the drums kick in towards the end, pure musical energy, love it
That moment, exactly
Same!
If you listen closely, this is the moment when the lyrics change too. It changes from him being the guy running for her (I'll be wrapped...), to the guy becoming the "master", letting go (You'll be wrapped...) and reclaiming his power. Even the listener feels the shift in feelings!
Yeah, Copeland had such a killer snare sound, just cuts through and rocks the whole tune.
Called the "bridge" musical term....and yes.
I absolutely CANNOT FATHOM that this song is almost 40 years old. Time flies so unapologetically swiftly.
Those were the day's
Just reminiscing damn those days are never coming back thing's was so Mello 💯
Well said my fellow intellect
I am almost 40.....
we will be dead before we know it!
Proud 80's kid here! This is one phenomenal masterpiece.
"Devil on the deep blue sea behind me! Vanish in the air you'll never find me" is my favorite lyric / part of the song.
Only Sting can effortlessly slip in lyrics about Mephistopheles and the Scylla and Charybdis into a rock song. Genius!!
Guy is an absolute wizard with words. You can definitely hear his roots as an english teacher shine through with his lyrical prowess.
Indeed!!!
Agree100%
*Marilyn Manson has left the chat*
@@SuperPhunThyme100 Not just with words but with melodies too!
39 years later you fully realize how masterful this piece of music it was
You are SO right! Although I loved it in 1983 I didn't fully realise that this record is quality in every way! Genius lyrics & a truly haunting melody that lingers for ages on the playout of the track - For me, this magical min or so of instrumental with stunning percussion just takes me to better place.....1983 again!
Right
@@LoinkyToinky starting at 82
I never stopped KNOWING that this is magical and masterful. Never stopped listening.
Ubetcha, fir me, it hit me (this song did hard when I was about 30) so sing was about 20 or a little more old
I just heard this beautiful piece of art for the very first time ever today, and I absolutely love it. God, I love the 80's.
No auto tune and made very organically. A true beautiful song. Timeless. And so 80s.
I'm sorry you had to wait so long for the experience.
How is th is possible, was you stu ck on a deset island till last week??????????????
Watch the live performance from the reunion tour! Stewart goes all out on all his toys.
2024 I will always be listening.
You'll never hear music like this again!! SIMPLY MAGIC!!
You just don't get intelligence in music anymore. The likes of Dylan, Lennon, Jagger, Townsend, Bowie, Bush, Sting were seriously bright people able to delve into high culture for inspiration. They have no modern equivalents.
Macgyver era bravo jeje
They had people wrapped around their finger back then and still do.
I agree.
@@tommyzeus2802 Agreed. Music was way better then. So was sports, movies, tv shows, and comedy.
One of the best songs of our time.

No every little thing she does is magic there best song ever!
The tension out of the chorus at 1:55, and that quirky guitar, it gets in your bones.
I can't believe this song only has 37M views. People are so dumb. One of the best songs ever!!
This song always reminds me of an era gone by when music was music. Growing up, I had a chance to listen to all music. And I am thankful for music, like many great artists that I tuned into as a kid, a teenager, a young adult, and now as a 57 year old young woman. It's amazing how songs bring back memories, good or bad.
I am 47. I do agree to your comments
50 and feel the same way.
There's is still music that is music today. The shame is that one must search for it; it's not readily found.
@@ishen3771 bingo... as an enthusiast of 70s, 80s and some 90s music i had basically given up on modern music a while ago until i ran across this young lady during the pandemic: ruclips.net/video/m3lF2qEA2cw/видео.html. that kind of unique authenticity and raw talent is just getting overwhelmed by high volume heavily marketed over produced mush and have to dig to find it
63 and feel the same. Wondering what has happened. At least it easily accessible today to revisit.
As a 97’ baby, I’m jealous of you guys’ music ! 70s-80s was the best of the best
Hey Tae!
As a '64 baby, I appreciate your love of past generations music! The eighties had I think the biggest variety of one hit wonders ever. But what one hit wonders they were...
RUclips is awesome for looking up a lot of wonderful music.
Many blessings to you,
Alan
But at least you found it. We were spoiled.
Yes it was
Young lady enjoy the music
I'm 55 years old still enjoying it
By the way you have very good taste the Police are good 👍
You have youth and that's wonderful and you have RUclips! Also wonderful! I saw the Police in 1983 🥰
Still a beautiful song, incredibly good musicians who together made the best music in the 80s. Hats off!
Best song EVER!!! God has me Wrapped Around His Finger!😌🙏🏽😇
This song is a great late night listen. A timeless masterpiece of mood and atmosphere.
I totally agree. One thing about the late 70s and 80s very ethereal & atmospheric!
I’m on it
💕😎💯
The Police hit the spot. I forgot about them and glad to revisit.
🌠💞💖💞💯💓💓✨✨✨💫
One of the best songs ever written, lyrically and musically.
By a fantastic band
Well what do u expect?? They are British after all 😊👍🇬🇧
Period!!!
And the russians too..what a coinsidence the history repeats.
Most definitely
I remember when this first came out I'm 50 y.o. and still appreciate this work of art.
This song is better then walking on the moon
" I will turn your face to alabaster when you find your servant is your master " One of the greatest lyrics ever
Far too intelligent for today's audiences.One of the things which made music at that time worth listening to...
Mary Ella Sure are!
she has CANCER >> last thx Day ever ... I am master .
i will turn your face to choke > at all Girls want to swallow !!!
I agree
Sheltering in place this song is gold, during a pandemic.
Facts
Let's keep it 6 feet apart from those candles folks. Alright, so where's that toilet paper?
So true!!
thats so true still on lockdown here and this song is helping me with the struggle.
Its gold jerry,Gold!
The 80’s for me was the Best, Serving the Navy, traveling and living in San Diego Ca. What a life 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Same here VFA-132
40 years. Hard to believe that time went by so fast. It still feels as if only yesterday I saw this video on TV and marveled at the beauty of it.
Sound of the 80's, there's no other sound like it.
Solomon King ,and will never be duplicated....... Maybe sampled but never Dupulicated !
Well '80s certainly very good. But I guess you missed the '60s. I was there!
Yes say that
Had to stop and say you said it best brutha
@@rolandoalvarez1133 Such a haunting song; and video.
Being born in 1964 and fully lived the 80s was the best thing could happen to me. This song is an absolute masterpiece!
64 too. We were so lucky to have experienced the 80's.
Born in 65' and I saw the Police in concert when I was a teenager. Best music ever 🎶🎼
@@angiemeza9057 Never saw them. Wish I had.
66 born and saw them live in 2008.
Yes it is. 1977. I used to watch this on Video One. Richard Blade was the host.
If you want to understand why some of us love the 80s so much, try to find even one song from any era that sounds like this. This kind of experimentation was the norm. Compare this with the autotune sameness of today.
Lyrics that really made us think, meaning of things that wasn't easily deciphered for us, how great this masterpiece is, That's what I call music!
3:18 The way the finale builds up is phenomenal. Goosebumps. Always.
Props to Sting's bassline. That's what's building the climax
It's the absolute best...then Stewart starts going off at 3:33 and it's just incredible.
I always get this vivid image of the former master in a dark room, with the servant's voice booming from all directions, taunting him, saying "You'll never find me!" And then he strikes in a flash of light.
Devil worship tho
There is a reason for this, you can't outrun the devil and the deal you made. You think you can, so sting wrote it in hopes he was more powerful and could leave it all behind. You cannot, the song puts a spell like most that's why it is magic, evil and powerful. It's why we listen over and over. Look at the most repeated section on the RUclips line..it starts at 3:18
The 80's, kids. Where musical genius lived :)
This song is a masterpiece ❤
One of my favorites from the 80s
Sting is brilliant song writer and performer and Andy has become one of my favorite guitar players after I rediscovered their music watching concert videos on YT. I really enjoy watching their flawless performances while dancing around the stage, and I am 75 years old (an old rocker since a teenager).
When MTV was MTV and you watched it stoned for hours.
Now you'd have to be stoned to watch it for more than twenty minutes.
Wish they would bring back MTV like it used to be. Life was different then. The world was learning to get along.
@@juliestraw7064
I know. The world wasn't so mean then. What the hell happened?
You're sooo right. 😔
I concur lol
Stewart Copeland’s drumming is insanely perfect in this song!!
Dude is one of the top 10 drummers in the world.
i play this as a cover on my roland electronic drum klt... yeah Copeland's drumming style is unique to itself...he copied no one with his signature sound, which I find refreshing!
Love how he just holds out on that snare. Dynamics!
My favorite drummer
You can say he was inspired by a lot of reggae drummers like Carlton Barret, Sly Dunbar and more. Reggae drummers play in that style.
I was born October 28, 1975. This is one of the first real songs (not kid's music) I remember liking.
Sting has a flow here ❤
Where are you 1983 laying in my bedroom watching this video on MTV doing my homework I was in 10th grade what wonderful memories so happy to be a teenager in the 80s you have to experience it to truly know how awesome it was
+Cyndi Foxx
So true. My favorite of all time was the 1983 movie valley girl and it's moody soundtrack
Most of our music back then for some reason was dark and moodey
Like the pretty in pink soundtrack.
+Roger Stout - Most people who go online alot weren't born yet in 1983-early 84 when this song was brand new! I was just barely born lol, but I did grow up listening to this and other Police music in the early 90s.
+JPMcFly1985Two
I was born 1968
This song hit mtv in 1983
+Cyndi Foxx : You got that right! I feel lucky to have been a teenager in the 80's. I don't ever think it could be replicated today.
+Meg Dit
It was almost dream like
I cherish those years
To be a teenager of the 80s can't be explained, you're have to experience it, to really understand it
This is one of my ultimate favorite songs in the world ♥️

SaraSyn. Isn't the best when you hear that light bell jingle! I am so happy for you and my choices. Let it play when you're in the bathtub with bubbles.. And just close your eyes. Relax.. And LOVE this song. ❤️
You have good taste Sara...
When you find your servant is your master... Absolute gold lyrics
In other words, what comes around. goes around.
More like power struggle
Stewart Copeland’s drumming is...sublime.
At 3:30, in the softer “Devil and the deep blue sea” section, and right after the next line, “Vanish in the air you’ll never find me”, Copeland brings it all back in with a single snare flam, and it’s so impeccably tasteful, so effective, so impactful in its simplicity...and so very perfect for the song, that it’s stunning.
So many other drummers would have tried to fill that space (or really wanted to) with a busy, thundering (and yawningly predictable) huge drum fill...
But Copeland? Nope.
With that one flam on the snare, he “says” more than any 20 piece kit drummer could ever hope to present by pounding out some “big” fill, and rounding half a dozen toms in a pseudo Phil Collins “In The Air Tonight” style.
Part of being a great player, particularly those that play as part of a band, is to play in ways that best serve the song, instead of serving themselves (and their own egos) with a “look how many push-ups I can do!” bragging style in their playing.
Copeland is an amazing drummer to be sure, and it’s not that he can’t play technically complex fills or drum patterns, (because he absolutely can), but...he’s also a great MUSICIAN, because he has that rare gift of playing in a way that is always so very tasteful, and with parts that always serve any song he’s playing so incredibly well.
IMO.
🙏
Nice observation. I'm going to have another listen.
That single, potent, explosive flam is the pivot point of the track and is simple, subtle genius. Watch the recent Japan version too for more of it when Stu comes down from the huge array of percussion to pick up the bridge on his kit………just awesome.
@@nicprs5109 - thanks for the suggestion, I will definitely check that out. 🙏
The other thing about that snare flam that I forgot to mention, is that Copeland doesn’t (predictably) hit a crash cymbal on the downbeat after it, and that makes the flam all the more elegant.
Sometimes (often, in fact), it’s what ISN’T played - a drum fill, a guitar lead, a bass riff, etc. - that can be far more tasteful (and way more effective and impactful) than any fancy drum fill or shredding guitar riff could ever convey.
Stewart Copeland is a master of dynamics, and part of that mastery is recognizing both when and what NOT to play, and in letting a song breathe by allowing an exquisite sense of space to exist.
IMHO.
🙏😊
@@donnythompson408 ruclips.net/video/43l4ksaD3vA/видео.html. I completely agree with you. And as I reflect on all the drummers I’ve listened to over my life……it’s quite possible that Stu C is by far the most exciting and dynamic……because he’s so different…. And I love some of the greats. 🙏

That it does. I was a teen in the 80s also.
Born in 1972 youngest of 6 kids. We would sit in the dining room after school doing our homework good songs like this would come on the radio we quick jump up and hit play/record button on my dads boombox and bootleg this song to play over and over…. That was living!
Good music has spaces. Like fine wine it has to be allowed to breathe. Todays music has no real spaces.
When i used to install competition car audio systems i ALWAYS used this song as a great tunning song. If you have a killer system play this song. It sounds amazing!!!!
I wish I have one to blow my self bicouse i love this song is like adrenaline in my veins
This song does sound amazing on my home stereo.
I worked at a stereo shop also and this would be the song to get the woofers ready at the Sunday sound off competition.
been there ... did that!
You're absolutely correct sounds great on a good system.
Whoever arranged this and wrote the lyrics was a geniius. Very much a piece of soulful music!
Back in the 80's there were many reports of hip HS teachers using the lyrics of this song to expand the vocabulary of their students. True story
His name is Sting.
Written by Sting (the guy singing the lead) and arranged by all three members; but mostly Sting LOL
@@007ndcno lie. My 8th grade literature teacher quoted this song almost daily that year.

No! 70s, 80s, and early to mid 90s. That's not to say there weren't some classics beyond the mid 90s. But those were the golden years.

My grandma was massively into drugs in the early '80's. My mom said even at her worst, she would throw on this album and just chill out the entire time. She eventually got clean a few years later.
Thanks, grandma, for the Synchronicity vinyl. Hope you've been at peace the last few years.
Tracks like this are GOLD.... Anything Police, Phil Collins, Prince.... When music was GOOD.
Someone who truly appreciates music knows the best songs are the old ones
you can say that again!!
Copeland's drumming on this track is sensational. You can hear lots of reggae influence.
He always had his own style and sound which made him one of the all time best drummers in rock n roll history.
3:33. Amazing
For sure, but I still can't understand why ''Mighty Max Weinberg'' doesn't get more attention!
Copeland is one of the best drummers and gets very little attention.
+tryithere You guys are not from the drumming community, are y'all?
True, but he's staring daggers at poor Sting...tensions in the band???
Sting is so free in this video ❤
"Mephistopheles is not your name" Classic line!

@@brocanova I was thinking the same, except I am American so I am talking about Reagan.
Excelent Words mi friemd

Old is Gold❤
Brought tears to my eyes as I remember the dark period of my life in 1983. Just had my son & had the baby blues, saw it on MTV before replay & RUclips. Has a Bob Marley vibe going on there. Coudn't get enough. Music does transcends all.
yes, there is a floaty ethereal reggae vibe to the melody
@@AlejandroMS67 A perfect description. You nailed it.
The good ol days of the real MTV back in the day
MTV was like a great drug back then! We could not get enough of it. To actually see your favorite artist in a weird or silly video was soooooo much fun! :)
Yes, its even in the same upscaled 240p definition
Say that again! Viacom claims that it had to change the format to "remain competitive". How can it remain competitive with the garbage it shows now?
Does Mtv even play videos anymore?
@@curtisalexander7035 I don't watch it anymore but I don't think it does.
The production on the drums is just perfect. Doesn't get any better.
im the lucky owner of the drumset used in the video, on of my favourite Tama sets among my collection of 12 sets.. .. so this video has suddently a lot of meaning for me... love it
@@tmjensen69 Did you end up with the complete set, hardware and all or just the shells?
@@DrummingMoose shells .. 2 bd .. 1 snare.. 4 toms and 2 floortoms .. and some imperialstar hardware pedals.. and hihat stand
@@DrummingMoose got some pics of some of my kits on face. Thomas Michael Jensen .. Mr Tama
Stewart Copeland is his name... He has also done the intro music to The old Television show Equalizer and The George Lucas's Ewoks.... Just google his drum work along with The Late Great Neil Pert...🙏RIP...❤
Copeland shines, yet remains in the background. He was genius in this song. Summers is excellent too.
Man, imagine a 23 of this generation loving this era of music, and the Police being one of his favorite bands of all time. Not constrained by the type of music most young folk in this generation listen to nowadays... Oh wait, that's me ❤ let's go Sting!
Side note: Oh, and I'm also a black male from the "hood", so talk about breaking social norms.
The 1980's were magical. I wish we could go back and show EVERYONE but we can't. All we can do is ask them to listen to music such as this.
I feel you
@Juan Perez I think it's safe to say that Trump is NOT the "new Reagan". Reagan let Paul Volker set interest rates where they needed to be, in order to control price inflation. He didn't get on prime time TV with David Brinkley and beat the shit out of the FED for not printing enough money to finance "bailouts for anyone with a pulse". Reagan was not a socialist while it appears to me that Trump is one. Actions speak louder than words.
To this day, those candles are still burning....
We will never forget you, The Police!
Yes sir
These are the only police id call if i was in trouble 😁🤦
This song is art, and it has mystical undertones. Gets to your soul, quickly.
My home gym has the same setup. I, too, like to do jumping jacks among my many candles.
I guess your workout is smoking hot !
Was waiting for this comment had to scroll just a bit to get it. Thank god I didn't have to leave the comments section disappointed.
😆
🤣🤣🤣
Nothing returns me to my teen age years sitting in front of the TV watching MTV more than this song. This song is pure nostalgia. When I hear this song I’m 17 again with not a care in the world. Why did the 1980s ever have to end??????
Take me back NOW
All good things must come to an end.
Agreed, youth is wasted on the young CM
my god.. u NAILED IT !
I saw The Police on the Synchronicity Tour on Valentine's Day 1984 in Cincinnati. Great show. If you haven't seen the live verison by Sting with Rufus Wainwright on vocals you must. Here is the link. ruclips.net/video/6scVohi0TYI/видео.html
This is so "Miami Vice"🌴
One of a few songs that never get turned off when it’s on the radio! That baseline still kicks major ass!
I Love Sting his Music really Great one of the Ledgends
I had my 8 yr old son in the car with me today and they played this song on the classic radio station. When it finished my son said daddy play it again. Warms my heart that some kids of this lost generation can still appreciate wonderful music like this as we did in the 80s.
I’m 13 and my favorite song is Synchronicity II. This is my second favorite.
Good taste young man!
Awww!🥰
Lost generation? Smh
