I heard The Police on the radio as a kid, but I really ‘discovered’ them when I was 17, in my first year of college. By that time, the band was no longer even together. haha. I fell in love with another first-year student. And she gave me a cassette tape(a cassette tape!!) that she’d recorded of the CD Every Breath You Take, The Singles. That was my soundtrack for that entire year. It’s inseparable in my mind from that period of time.
Even the places where the album was interrupted because the tape ran out. To me that’s how the song’s supposed to sound. (When I hear the song somewhere else and it doesn’t stop there, I’m like, ‘Why are they still playing?’).
Anyway, I became a Sting fan after that.
hahaha!
The tank-tops probably don’t hurt.
