Tonight's Musical Interlude - The Police

Couple of comments:
I remember seeing Sting in an interview commenting on how people tell him they love this song - "It's the song my wife and I played at our wedding," and all kinds of stuff.
Sting said that this is not a love song.. It's a song about distrust and surveillance.
As to the "only 3 people" comment. I saw The Who twice (both times before Keith Moon died). It was amazing how these three guys (and a vocalist) could make great sound.
"Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08
The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Not only is it clearly about stalking, he felt compelled to later release the song “if you love somebody set them free” to counter the criticism he got for those lyrics.

Pianists, organists, singer-songwriter types with a guitar or piano would laugh at this.
“Musical completeness” is like infinity, a proper subset of infinity can still be infinite.
