    Lyrics:
    Giant steps are what you take
    Walking on the moon
    I hope my legs don't break
    Walking on the moon
    We could walk forever
    Walking on the moon
    We could live together
    Walking on, walking on the moon
    Walking back from your house
    Walking on the moon
    Walking back from your house
    Walking on the moon
    Feet they hardly touch the ground
    Walking on the moon
    My feet don't hardly make no sound
    Walking on, walking on the moon
    Some may say
    I'm wishing my days away
    No way
    And if it's the price I pay
    Some say
    Tomorrow's another day
    You stay
    I may as well play
    Giant steps are what you take
    Walking on the moon
    I hope my legs don't break
    Walking on the moon
    We could walk forever
    Walking on the moon
    We could be together
    Walking on, walking on the moon
    Some may say
    I'm wishing my days away
    No way
    And if it's the price I pay
    Some say
    Tomorrow's another day
    You stay
    I may as well play
    Keep it up, keep it up
    Yo yo yo yo

      In most interviews, Stewart humbly claims that he's just a guy "who bangs on shit". He says he's random, and maybe that's true, but we all know that he always found beats that nobody knew even existed in time, which makes his drumming...well, timeless.

    The Police одна из моих любимых групп. Помню как слушал их альбомы будучи студентом в 2013-м году, прогуливаясь по улицам Казани и в поездках на автобусе, по дороге на учебу в ВУЗ и обратно. В том же году мне посчастливилось побывать на концерте Стинга в Казани, вместе с моим братом и в конце даже удалось подойти вплотную к сцене и увидеть Стинга, а также происходящее на сцене, в непосредственной близости.
    От музыки The Police веет уютом, безмятежностью, легкостью и теплотой атмосферы конца 70-х и начала 80-х годов, благодаря чему их музыка не надоедает и периодически хочется возвращаться к ней вновь. Эх, хорошие были времена.

Plus that was when Walkman's were invented... the pre-IPod era. Music today does not even compare. Also, we used to go to the arcade to play video games. We'd all get together and have tournaments away from our parents. Then, we used to play football, baseball, basketball, frisbee, hacky sack, bikes, skateboards, etc outside with all the kids in the neighborhoods.

That sound/grove/blend of genres that The Police mastered is so ubiquitous to them, they have a profoundly unmistakable sound. Sting may be the greatest bass player ever. Andy Summers guitar work is sublime & grotesquely under appreciated Steward Copeland's cerebral/introspective approach to all aspects of drumming has put him in a league few could hope to join. If you're old enough to have lived it, I'm envious. To those like me who found them long after their hay day, congratulations on opening yourself up to some amazing music.

      AKshully, if you were around at the time, this and Roxanne were their first 2 BIG tunes off their first album. Hardly underrated, it's the song that jump-started their career~~~~~

      No, they wouldn't be a huge band and let me explain you the reason why: The three of them are great musicians but the formula that made them popular back them was good for awhile but then they became repetitive so that wouldn't last that long, same would have happened with Nirvana if Cobain still would be alive. I think the only band that could succeed using the same formula over and over again is AC/DC, they have a unique voice, a unique guitar sound and even though they've copied themselves many times people still love their music.

    Stewart Copeland was for the Police what Ray Manzarek was for the Doors.
    Someone who was exceptionally good at their instrument, so much so that they influence the overall sound of the band and expand the role of their respective instruments.
