Put in a great beat with a hard core bassist, lead and rythem guitar, some brass and a keyboardist, loop a singer and background vocals. Then Rap meets Rock like Run DMC. It's hard to argue who mixed genres first. Little Richard, Santana the George Clinton with Funkadelic, the Doors were really a hard blues band. There were others.

    If You Love Somebody Set Them Free by Sting is an outstanding 80s music classic. The meaningful theme of how true love symbolizes letting someone soar in life regardless if being frequently joined at their hip andor frequently able to keep tabs on them (metaphorically speaking) becomes more of a distant memory andor ancient history is performed with music brilliance.

    This song marked a turning point in my life and it still impacts me to this day, let me explain. When sting released the “Dream of the blue turtles” album I was already angry because it signaled the official end of The Police, but when I HEARD the album, including this brilliant song along with the mesmerizing “Fortress around your heart” I was somewhat saddened because I now knew and had to accept that the decadent but innocent “MTV Golden Age” from 1981-1985, which featured Pat Benetar, The Police, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, Culture Club, Huey Lewis and the news, Men At Work, Genesis/Phil Collins, Def Leppard, Bruce Springsteen, Duran Duran, Lionel Richie, Hall & Oates, Prince, The Eurythmics, Michael Jackson, Wham, and so many others, was now officially over and music was moving into a brave new frontier, but I will forever cherish and long for that time and that music........bittersweet indeed........

    This is why I hate videos. I know I'm old but I never even watch videos. I judge a song based on its sound, lyrics, melody, and how it affects me. I think videos have hurt music in general. You can't dislike a song because you disliked the video yet I heard some of my daughter's friends saying they didn't like "this video...." When I asked if they liked the song, they were kind of stymied. I know that even great artists like Sting had to do videos in support of his music but I think it's sad that we've come to that.

My Dad loved this song. He played it over and over. I have had this video/song on repeat for over 1 hour. I can't turn it off. This I do believe has to be one of the best collaborated songs ever assembled. I really can't describe this sound. It's Soulful, Jazzy, Bluesy, Rocky, It's an outstanding record. (That's what we called it back in the day). lol-lol-lol Look at that Bass player....He thumb slappin them strings and walking the dog. The keyboardist, Oh my, just listen at him. His sound hold's it all together. Drummer is stank slappin them skins. Please tell me yall hear them horns. Even the cymbals make a really nice mark. Then, then, then STING all on top of it. WHEW!!! This record is so well put together. Just watch the video. It's breathtaking!!!

    An older post mentioned overlays. This was a pretty intricate video production, if you scrutinize it carefully. Think about it... everyone had to be filmed separately, against a green screen (except for the Kenny Kirkland, the keyboardist, who appears to be the only one on the real set). The others were uniquely composited into each shot: * Sting - radiates "heat waves" whenever he sings, they fade when he takes a breath. Notice the ripples alter the view of whomever/whatever is behind him. * Brandford Marsalis (sax) - transparent when not playing. * Daryl Jones (bass) - monochromatic while playing (starting about 0:16). * Dolette McDonald and Janice Pendarvis (vocals/tambourine) - varying frame rates, time-freezes and time-jumps. * Omar Hakim (drums) - aggessively green-screened (so that the chrome of his set "bleeds" into the background unnaturally, along with the rug tassels), and there's a subtle vibration applied to the camera shooting him. Every time they changed camera angles, the video's director had to plan the spatial arrangement... who is in front of/behind who? Not to mention continuity between shots. Really eye-catching at the time.
