The mental imagery is stark and breathtaking (more so as the lyric goes on), the underlying music quietly (well, until the end) disturbing in a "something's not quite right here" sort of way. And at the same time, it's a catchy pop song you can (and will) sing along with. Probably my favorite Police/Sting song of all time. Vam from Beijing, ChinaThis is a great song. Although it's not bright, happy..but to me, it abreact my pain in now and past. All images are in my brain. Maybe I'll draw them up in someday...

He was engaged to be married when he died that June. A skilled swimmer and surfer, King was found unconscious at the bottom of his swimming pool. His autopsy reported drugs and alcohol were in his system at his time of death. He was 47.
