PG, I tried to find where Every Breath You Take is about Sting's daughter, but all I got was that a pop up video stated that falsely. Do you remember where you heard that?Peat's_Girl said:dd99 said:Haha, yeah. My wife calls Every Breath You Take 'that stalker song'.Amazoniac said:Every breath you take, every move you make..
..and then I realize that Sting sounds like a creep in those songs. Imagine what's like for a girl to hear that!
Only it's about his daughter...
Supposedly Sting said in an interview that it's about jealousy, surveillance and ownership...
"In a 1983 interview with the New Musical Express, Sting explained: "I think it's a nasty little song, really rather evil. It's about jealousy and surveillance and ownership." Regarding the common misinterpretation of the song, he added: "I think the ambiguity is intrinsic in the song however you treat it because the words are so sadistic. On one level, it's a nice long song with the classic relative minor chords, and underneath there's this distasteful character talking about watching every move. I enjoy that ambiguity. I watched Andy Gibb singing it with some girl on TV a couple of weeks ago, very loving, and totally misinterpreting it. (Laughter) I could still hear the words, which aren't about love at all. I pissed myself laughing."
