#10

EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE

THE POLICE

“…I’ll be watching you …”

It's the songwriting skill possessed by Sting that makes "Every Breath You Take" so compelling. The song has often been misinterpreted as a track dealing with profound love and devotion, but closer inspection reveals a darker angle. 

From the point of view of the protagonist's object of affection, it is creepy and sinister. He has her under surveillance, watching her every move. 

The track was included on The Police's 1983 album 'Synchronicity'. It was a #1 single in America, Britain and Canada.
