-Music Monday-
This meme was created by Drew @ The Tattooed Book Geek. You pick a song that you really like and share it on Monday!
I just finished reading Broken Music by Sting and I’ll share my review later for that. I’ve been a Police fan since I was a young child and Sting is still a favorite artist today. Here are two favorites that go way back to my childhood, back to when sitting in front of MTV was all I wanted to do. Not only are these favorite songs, but favorite music videos as well.
The Police
“Wrapped Around Your Finger”
Lyrics:
You consider me the young apprentice
Caught between the Scylla and Charybdis
Hypnotized by you if I should linger
Staring at the ring around your finger
I have only come here seeking knowledge
Things they would not teach me of in college
I can see the destiny you sold
Turned into a shining band of gold
I’ll be wrapped around your finger
I’ll be wrapped around your finger
Mephistopheles is not your name
I know what you’re up to just the same
I will listen hard to your tuition
And you will see it come to its fruition
I’ll be wrapped around your finger
I’ll be wrapped around your finger
Devil and the deep blue sea behind me
Vanish in the air, you’ll never find me
I will turn your face to alabaster
Then you’ll find your servant is your master
You’ll be wrapped around my finger
You’ll be wrapped around my finger
You’ll be wrapped around my finger
Yo Ohhh…
“Every Breath You Take”
Lyrics:
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I’ll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I’ll be watching you
Oh, can’t you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I’ll be watching you
Since you’ve gone I’ve been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but it’s you I can’t replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby please
Oh, can’t you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I’ll be watching you
Every move you make
Every step you take
I’ll be watching you
I’ll be watching you
(Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break)
I’ll be watching you
(Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play)
I’ll be watching you
(Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake)
I’ll be watching you
(Every single day
Every word you say) Ooh
(Every claim you stake)
I’ll be watching you

Love The Police! Synchronicity is one of the albums that I’d have with me on a desert Island, provided there is electricity of course. Haha.

So much talent in one place. I especially love when the singer carries the song with the instrumental backup as in the second video. If that makes sense. Great post!

Oh wow, I’m so lost on Friends! It’s been so long since I watched it and I don’t think I’ve seen all the episodes. I’d love to see that one though. Thanks, Nina. ❤

I think my parents got Netflix just so they could watch Friends reruns! Lol. They almost always have it on.
Hopefully this doesn’t get sent to spam. I found the imbd link for the episode. Sting insn’t in it but his wife Trudie is :https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0583533/

I saw them at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit in 1987. Wow, what a concert. I thought I still had the tank top I bought, but I can’t find it. 😦
