‘Every Breath You Take’ – The Police

“Every Breath You Take” by The Police was one of the most successful singles of the 1980s, and it has probably been the first dance at hundreds of weddings since then. The song, however, is not a love song. The lyrics, on the other hand, convey a terrible scenario of infatuation and stalker. “One couple told me, ‘Oh, we love that song; it was the main song played at our wedding!'” Sting stated about the song. “I thought to myself, ‘Well, good luck.'” “I think the song is very, very sinister and ugly,” he’s stated, “and people have actually misinterpreted it as being a gentle little love song, when it’s quite the opposite.”
