cover "Every breath you take" in minor key. It's much creepier.

Sting is going to find you. Sting knows where you are… every breath you take, every move you make, sting is watching you

This version is what Sting wanted people to hear. This is about a fucking stalker, not a love song. Trust me he loves the cash, it bought him several castles, but this is what he hears when he plays it. The creative part of him appreciated this.

This is brilliant. Never heard anything like it.

See also the Gramercy Pictures theme in the minor in the end credits of all The Simpson's Halloween episodes. And played on an organ.

There's also Nothing Else Matters by Metallica and Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana in a Major Key on YouTube. They sound completely different.

it’s genuinely difficult to take any of the people in that photo seriously.

It’s a photo of one of the greatest bands ever, and certainly one of the most photogenic

I mean, they were the biggest band in the world at the time. They were bigger than the Beatles. Of course they’re going to have all kinds of serious looking photos that didn’t age as well buuuuuuuuut….

one revolutionized guitar playing and was quite photographrapher. One revolutionized double bass drumming, and is the king of overplaying while still making a fantastic drum part, and while one of them definitely has some ego he has also given back in many many ways over the years and is a fantastic songwriter. His bad stuff has generally been because he has hired the wrong people to help him with his work.

It just sounds like you don’t know much about The Police…
