One small detail I really like is that when they sing "I can't stand losin' " multiple times during the chorus, it emphazises that he cares more about the concept of him losing than the actual person he's lost.

I guess it's the most obvious thing ever, but I love how the chorus says "I can't stand losing" like he literally can't take a no for an answer or he is just a sore loser, but then adds the "you" to pretend like it's a "romantic" thing or he is talking about he doesn't want to be without her. Then the last verse makes more sense, he is threatening to kill himself not only because of a heartbreak, but as his last resort to "win" because he literally "Can't stand losing".

Stewart is just a beast on those drums man!

Stewert's drumming on this is iconic

This version of sting is best. Playful, silly, funny and lighthearted. Solo sting takes himself too seriously.

The Police made beautiful music with a drummer, a guitar player, and a bass playing vocalist. Compared them to today's "musicians" .

I love having the lead singer playing bass!

*The Police are galaxies ahead of most Ska, Reggae and Dub musicians before them, contemporaneously and yet to come*

Sting owes reggae money.

Aaron Alexander Especially prevalent in the drumming - listen out for the hi-hat and rimshots during instrumental parts of their songs, especially this one. Some of the drumming is very reminiscent of Everett Morton, Jamaican born drummer for The (English) Beat, a Two-Tone ska band, who's first single (Tears Of A Clown/Ranking Full Stop) was released in 1979. Listen to their debut 1980 album "Just Can't Stop It" - mainly "Mirror In The Bathroom" to hear Morton's drums in full effect.

Such a good band. Who wants to see the Police record a new album ? One of the very few bands that ended things at the height of their fame when there last album was great and they were still on top. I think it is time for the Police to record a new album. it's been a long enough break from them hating on each other. who wants to see them record a new album ?

The Police is really the perfect fusion of rock and reggae.

I've called you so many times today And I guess it's all true what your girl-friends say That you don't ever want to see me again And your brother's gonna kill me and he's six feet ten I guess you'd call it cowardice But I'm not prepared to go on like this I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing you I can't stand losing you I can't stand losing you I can't stand losing you I see you sent my letters back And my L.P. records and they're all scratched I can't see the point in another day When nobody listens to a word I say You can call it lack of confidence But to carry on living doesn't make no sense I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I guess this is our last goodbye And you don't care, so I won't cry But you'll be sorry when I'm dead And all this guilt will be on your head I guess you'd call it suicide But I'm too full to swallow my pride I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
