The Police, Message in a Bottle.

[via wikipedia]

The second Police’s album (1979) could be not his most popular LPs, but it opens with Message in the Bottle. And it is Sting’s (and even Andy Summers'!) favourite song of Police. And so it is to me.

This picture of hundred billion bottles arriving to a shore where a castaway is stranded from love and questions the need for love is an amazing one.

I love this little guitar pattern of three note chords in fifths. I think many young guitar players had attended to play it sometime.

But I think loving the music of The Police is an easy one. Imagine perfection, technically and creatively and you are thinking of Police.

Well, that’s enough. Listen this incredible song and, if you are a musician, ask yourself why you didn’t wrote it. I do.

The Police – Message in a Bottle.

Just a castaway, an island lost at sea, oh
Another lonely day, with no one here but me, oh
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair, oh

Ill send an s.o.s. to the world
Ill send an s.o.s. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah

A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life but
Love can break your heart
Ill send an s.o.s. to the world
Ill send an s.o.s. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah

Walked out this morning, dont believe what I saw
Hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore
Seems Im not alone at being alone
Hundred billion castaways, looking for a home
Ill send an s.o.s. to the world
Ill send an s.o.s. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Sending out at an s.o.s.
Sending out at an s.o.s.
Sending out at an s.o.s.
Sending out at an s.o.s.
Sending out at an s.o.s.
Sending out at an s.o.s...
