The Police – “Every Breath Your Take”
Dear People, could you PLEASE research songs before you walk down the aisle to them?
While many people made this their marriage song, Sting was actually going through a really painful divorce when he got inspired to write this song. While going through the divorce he felt feelings of obsession and anger and they inspired the song.
One night he woke up with the chorus in his mind and penned the song.
Telltale lyric: “Oh can’t you see / You belong to me”
There was such a disconnect that many people asked him why he looked so angry in the music video. Sting’s response was: “The lyrics are sinister.”
Let’s see you diddy bop to that!
