Sting in Cologne, Germany  2025 still doing this energy. very fine 2 hours of joy.

Caught during at the Synchronicity tour in (I think) 1985 in Dallas. They did not disappoint! ☮️

Again during their reunion tour in 2008 with Elvis Costello as the opener.  Also a killer show.

Big Police fan. Not their greatest album. But anything with Stewart Copeland does it for me.

Varsity Townhouses, base of The Hill in Boulder, Summer of '83:  Jeff has gone to do his shift at RedLob way down in Thornton and Kurt has hijacked his massive stereo; I can hear this JAMMING from across the courtyard, and I'm scrambling my eggs at the start of another speckie day! Me and Kevin and Kurt walk down to Liquor Mart, grab half=gallons of wine and six-packs of beer, walk through the park to the Conoco at Broadway and Arap, buy some tubes for 5 bucks each, and hit The Creek...

I never thought this was a great Police song. Thank you community for giving me more perspectives on why you think it’s great.

So many of their songs have these just amazing lyrics, one of the things that set the Police apart from other bands. Of course, the amazing music does too!

I am no expert or Jung psychologist, but I love how the lyrics of a man going slowly mad due to middle age pressures is juxtaposed against the Loch Ness Monster slowly emerging from the lake and approaching a door.  It seems that the song ends with the beast at the door, meaning that the door is about to open revealing the man going full crazy. Or at least that what it seems to me. 



I always thought that Daddy was the monster at the door at the end, perhaps about to kill himself and his whole family. I even thought I heard that was the band's idea for it as well.

I admit I was a Police groupie.  Saw them every damn time they
were close enough on tour.
Still love the tunes.

"And every single meeting with his so called superior
Is a humiliating kick in the crotch"
Now that I'm an adult, this line really hits me hard. 
Which means I should probably look for a new job.

My favorite Police song.  Great lyrics and Copeland's drumming is the hook.  Unlike most other Cop tracks, the roboplay wasteland of FM didn't murder this one for me. 


Copeland is a helluva drummer from what I can tell. The video, sadly, is goofy.

Discovering Sting in the 90s before the Police and then getting into vintage Police live performances ...killer teenage years for me in the 90s. Wonderful throwback for me!

Man, o man ... it's 1984, I'm driving to work down the Baltimore-Washington Parkway in my ol' VW camper, this is blasting away on the stereo ... many miles away.

Did he ever explore that Scottish loch?

Greate sense of modern alienation in this one.

I've never properly listened to this song before.  My loss.

Probably my first comment on RP: After being a dedicated Police fan through their previous albums, Synchronicity first sounded a bit strange to me, but thanks RP for reminding me of this one: I like those songs best that "grow on me", and this one certainly did. The lyrics were of a quality I had not heard with Police before. A lot of dark depth here ...
I give it a 9, not least in honour of one of my best Summers (sic!) ever

Hey is Sting there? If. What does he think about the musichians who prevent the world actually. MUST BE. Everywhere,

When I interviewed Stewart Copeland he refered to his time in The Police as "Ah yes, the rock and roll years". I consider this their best song...

I AGREE!  Even better in FLAC  w/ great studio phones, amp & DAC!

Ambitious concept, lyrics, vocal performance, arrangement.  I guess nobody cares cause it was a radio song.

...”above the din of our rice crispies...”. Fantastic line. Has stuck with me since I was a teenager when I heard this.

Correct. The album opens up with "Synchronicity I" and side 1 (back when there was such a thing) closed with this. I still have my vinyl copy somewhere! 
 
I just bought a two channel analog amp so I could listen to all my vinyls again.

Indeed. I miss The Police. When this album came out, it was overplayed so much, I began to hate it. Later, I added it to my collection. Ah, the 80's...so much good stuff back then.

Seriously, I feel like my "8" was being stingy. (Looks like the average is up to 7 now though.)
