    Yes, P. Diddy sampled it but without Sting's permission. 🙄 He pays Sting $2,000 dollars a day per their settlement. 🤦‍♀️ It's the most beautiful stalker song ever. 🤣
    The Police is one of my favorite bands of all time. ❤ Although they were only together around 9 years - their catalog is absolutely amazing! 🔥

    🔥"Don't Stand So Close To Me"

    It really bothers me when my old favorites are mistaken for newer songs b/c they've been 'sampled' - In my opinion it's not a talent to use pieces of other group's/individual's songs & re-mix them, especially without permission or giving credit due to the original artist - It's not an introduction to older music - The younger crowd does not realize that this is the case b/c they're hearing it for the first time in a re-mix -They don't know that it's not an original work, who sang it first or who wrote it

      I feel the same way about Linda Reinstate when she did Ooh Baby Baby. Smokey Robinson wrote the song and He and his group the Miracles recorded it and performed it live. She did;not do it justice as far as Im concerned although it was a big hit for her. Michel Jackson did another Smokey Robinson song, Who's Loving you. I like both versions, but Michael Jackson s version is the one most people are familiar with. Smokey Robinson wrote a lot of big hits for Motown including My Girl recorded by the temptations

      It’s because all stalkers have a romantic ideal of the person they are stalking. Sting had a stalker at the time, his performance is expressive and painful. Writing this song was his way of taking back control of the situation in a cathartic way. 🎙

    Van, you hit the nail on the head when you said it was stalker-ish. A couple lines of those lyrics give it away "every smile you FAKE" & "every VOW you BREAK" for example. It has been misinterpreted for years, but then again, I am a big believer in being open to letting people have their own interpretations. Doesn't & shouldn't ruin anyone's enjoyment! 👍👍👍

    When P. Diddy performed "I'll be missing you" on an MTV awards show w/ Faith Evans as a tribute to Biggie, Sting (real name Gordon Sumner) of The Police, who wrote & sang "Every breath you take" shared the stage w/ them.
    Sting said it was dark song about obsession, w/ themes related to Soviet government surveillance of people in the cold war era.
    The Police were short-lived, formed as a punk rock band in the 70's, but progressing into new wave pop. They disbanded after 1985 at the peak of their popularity... Sting has had a massive solo career since then...
    The Police classics: "Roxanne" ... 'Message in a bottle' ... "I can't stand losing you" ... 'Wrapped around your finger' ... 'Every little thing she does is magic' ... 🔥🔥🔥
    Sting solo songs: 'If I ever lose my faith in you' ... 'Desert rose' ... 'Englishman in New York' ... 'Russians'

    I’m so glad you reacted to this song! I discovered the Police in high school. Back when layaway at music stores was a thing, I paid off their master collection “Message In A Box” which included all of their recordings, even the b-sides from singles. It turned into my “stranded island” music collection (meaning I have one choice to bring with me). It’s so rich, and they had so much experimentation vetoing their hit singles. I’d love to see your reaction to their song “I Can’t Stand Losing You” vs. “Somebody I Used To Know” by Gotye. As other commenters have mentioned, “Don’t Stand So Close To Me” would be a good one. That could be fun. As always, thanks for doing what you do.

    Guitar + piano by Andy Summers.
    Lead vocals, bass guitar + synth by Sting. Drums + percussion by Stewart Copeland.
    In 1982 - 1983, The Police, Spandau Ballet + George Martin recorded their albums near each other in The Bahamas.
    Spandau Ballet was on The Rise. The Police was infighting, ready to break up at any time.
    Police guitarist/keyboardist Andy Summers went to George Martin to help solve some infighting. That helped ... until the end of the world tour. This is what I heard from him at his book signing. 🙄
    This song not only is expression of the upcoming divorce for Sting, but it also represents the infighting btw Sting + drummer/percussionist Stewart Copeland.
    Sting loves the 2 people, but too much tension in his relationships.
    Back to the songs.
    Spandau Ballet had True as its biggest song.
    The Police had the Billboard song of 1983 + Sting won Song of 1983 at The Grammys to break the streak of Michael Jackson winning so many awards.
    Directed by Godley + Creme. These 2 are also musicians.
    Suggested next Police video:
    Synchronicity 2.

    Here in UK we have the best musicians and singers and lots of artist sample from our artists.

    This song was written by Sting of the British new wave soft rock band The Police. It was released in 1983 on the Synchronicity album. It is thought to be a romantic song but in reality it was about stalking a former girlfriend. I listened to what you said about Diddy, rap and hip hop. So those genres are based on stealing original music and giving it a new spin. I think that’s an unfair generalization. Early old school rap was pretty cool and original. That might be what they do today but old school? There may have been some of that but not as widespread as today.
    IMHO

    You would have to be deaf and live under a rock to not have ever heard these songs from the 80's. They're in movies, TV shows, restaurants, etc. I was in high school when these songs came out and in the military afterwards. I've been to over 10 different countries and these songs were bought, sold and played in all of them in English.

    Another one of Sting's songs that is often sampled/stolen is "Shape of my Heart". Juice Wrld used it in Lucid Dreams and NAS in the message as well as Craig David in Rise and Fall. Nothing beats the original though.

    Sting joined P. Diddy on stage when they sang it at the MTV music awards. 112 was on that song as well.

    @carenhelms8518 Před 3 lety

    The instrument Sting is playing is a bass violin, usually called a bass. It's usually played with a bow like most string orchestral instruments, but he is just plucking the strings in this song.

    I remember the first time I heard this song. It came on the radio when I was nearly home and I kept the car running to hear the end of it. Then I just sat in the car absorbing. It was musically so different and so so creepy, like I did NOT want to be in the head of a stalker and they just did that to me. Also, there is so much from The Police you'd like. My theme song is "When the World is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around".

  • @Oddworld2024

    Just for future reference.. everything today comes from music of the past .. and
    Hip hop steals these songs and put in their own spin on it. Most artist do this sampling horribly bad. However the “ I’ll be missing you “ version is great. But ya, they all get samples from previous artists of all kinds.

  • @acs42969
    @acs42969 Před 3 lety

    If your a rap fan, you know most if not all are sampled from original songs. Most rock & roll songs are also from blues & country. Jazz,classical & gospel have the foundation of everything from the past,present & future. That's why you hear people always say oldies but goodies...Every generation says the music they group is the best but always love songs from the past.
