The Police 'Every Breath You Take'

Welcome to our podcast where we uncover the fascinating stories behind some of the most iconic songs of our time. In this episode, we delve into the making of 'Every Breath You Take' by The Police. During the production of their 5th album, 'Synchronicity,' tensions were high among the band members. Arguments were frequent and increasingly violent, causing a strain on their working relationship. But for Sting, the bass player and vocalist, things were even more difficult. He was going through a painful divorce from his first marriage. It was during this tumultuous time that 'Every Breath You Take' was born. The haunting melody and stalker-like lyrics captured the attention of listeners around the world, and it quickly became a chart-topping hit. But what inspired the song's lyrics? Was it a reflection of Sting's personal turmoil, or was it simply a cleverly crafted tune? Join us as we explore the meaning behind the lyrics and the making of this iconic song. We'll take you through the song's evolution, from its creation to its release and ultimate success.  So sit back, relax, and join us as we take a deep dive into the story behind The Police's 'Every Breath You Take.'Hosted by Ausha.
