Depois de every breath está eh a melhor balada deste grupo inglês.

The song should be required listening by every student in college who is majoring in the education field and wants to become a teacher. Especially with all the stories in the news about school teachers having inappropriate sexual relationships with students that that they are supposed be be teaching. And then getting put in jail, wasting four years of college earning a degree that they'll never again be able to use because they're now on the sex offender registry list for life. This actually happened to several former teachers in my area, but it happens everywhere. There is a reason why Sting wrote this song for back in late 1970's. Because as a former English teacher himself, there were several of his female students that tried to get with him. Which made going into music a much more appealing career for him. But he was, at least, able to still use his degree in English as a songwriter of many great songs. To any teacher reading this. Take Sting's advice and tell your students not to stand so close to you. You'll be glad you did when you're going home from work every night and not sitting in a jail cell or having your name spread across the news media.

Oh shove a sock in it. For one thing, Sting has said more than once that the song is *not* autobiographical. And like making teachers listen to a song is going to fix something. Hilarious.

that's a weirdo reply....?

Very rarely does a remix version sound better than the original.....This is one of the rare songs that does.

"Because drummer Stewart Copeland had broken his collarbone and was unable to drum, he opted to use his Fairlight CMI to program the drum track for the single, while singer/bassist Sting pushed to use the drums on his Synclavier instead. The group's engineer found the Synclavier's programming interface difficult; it ended up taking him two days to complete the task. Copeland ultimately finished the drum programming and claimed that the Fairlight's then-legendary "Page R" (the device's sequencing page) saved his life and put him on the map as a composer. In a Qantas inflight radio program named "Reeling in the Years", Copeland was quoted as saying that the argument over Synclavier versus Fairlight drums was "the straw that broke the camel's back," and that this led to the group's unravelling."

If the Police released one more album in 1986, it would've been awesome!!! This version proves it!

It would definitely have been their last; they beat the shit out of each other on a daily basis making “Synchronicity,” I really think it would probably have ended in murder, probably of Sting and/or Stewart Copeland.

From what I remember, the plan was to make a whole album of remakes of their songs. But as usual, the three of them couldn't agree on anything. So out came only one song, this one. And they released a greatest hits album, with only this song not the original.

So glad there aren't people on here going back and forth about which version is better! Here we are, just enjoying this version for what it is...thanks guys!

Rarely does a remake of an original song, even if done by the band who wrote the original, turn out better than the original. This version of "Don't Stand So Close To Me" is the exception to the rule. This version is far superior.

Tripp1993 There was no cheesy happy thing. It's punk music showing the frustration of a person keeping themselves away from a little girl. If anything the ska and sad (not happy) sound generated the frustration of that person perfectly. This remake is way too mellow for a person who wants to push back an underage girl. The verse sounds gorgeous, the transition from verse to chorus is pretty ugly though.

I like both versions, but I must to agree with all coments here: 86 version is more visceral and raises my skin!

This is a classic song! I love this version of "don't stand so close to me" Better than the original version, so much more polished, brilliant !

A banda the police Sem dúvida nenhuma e uma das mulheres em todos os tempos. Sting. Andy samers .Stuart cuperland.

Just watched Lolita (1962 film) today on TCM good movie!

This is so far beyond the original version it's almost difficult to compare the two. This is a polished, tight, smooth piece of art, the original was a good tune...but it lacks soul and emotion. A shame more of their old tunes couldn't be finished in this fashion.

Steve Brule -- No Stewart Copeland. He fucked his hand up before these sessions, so he couldn't play. These drum tracks were programmed. Sting and Stewart couldn't even agree on a drum machine. Neat arrangement, but would've liked to hear all 3 play. Stewart Copeland probably has to be my favorite drummer.

@timbentle

+T.A. James Stewart Copeland is/was over-rated and needed to lay off so many amphetamines and stop his whining. He didn't contribute enough to call all the shots he wanted...typical drummer. Spoiled by Myles too, perhaps. The remake captures the feel of the story so much better and the story has to come first, before an over blown ego (Stewart's ego was even more ridiculous than Sting's ego, WOW!). Objective decisions focused on getting the story told...that's why Sting's had a long career.

Worth watching Rick Beato's recent interview with Stewart Copeland where he tells the hilarious story of how this track was recorded - Sting's Synclavier vs. Stuart's Fairlight. Big drama over the choice of snare sample, etc. 😂
