One of the very best songs on my combat patrol playlist when I served in the military. Even the young troops could dig this song.

This song is absolutely haunting now, released in late 1981. I had just joined the Army, a 17 year old kid. As many have said, one of their forgotten gems. 43 years ago, an absolutely incredible song from an unforgettable album!

The way this video ends at 4:16 with Sting singing the words, “All I want is a place somewhere, far away from the cold night air!” really adds to how poignant this song is and perfectly describes the fear in Northern Ireland during the IRA days.

It's actually one of Sting's simpler songs musically. The bass is a pumped eighth note riff from D to B in the verse and a repeated seventh/pentatonic pattern in the chorus. The Guitar lines are two simple riffs in the verse that are the same just over different chords and the drums are paired back to a straight 2-4 in the verse with accented cymbal and floor tom crashes in the chorus.

I remember blowing this one up in 1982 at 12 yrs old. My dad even liked it 👍

I bought this LP the first time I heard this song when I was young at 80's. One of the greatest The Police song. This song will live forever.

Still listening in 2019! And you?

Truly powerful and compelling and tells the story and era like it was

I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO THE POLICE FOR 40 YEARS PARTY, BBQ ANYWHERE GREAT MUSIC... TIMELESS...

Copeland's snare sound is incredible and well known, but the cymbal work on this one are some of the best I have ever heard.

This song deserves more praise And to reiterate what others have said, nothing has changed. This song mirrors global society and probably will do so forever

That line about the factory smoke and acetylene light is one of the most haunting, stark, bleak lyrics I've ever heard. It comes to mind a lot. A dark masterpiece of a song. 💎

Thank you freedom loving drummer Stewart for pounding us freedom loving humans into the Invisible Sun with your snare drum strikes !!

Best song by The Police.

Best Band in 80's by mile

Sting is an amazing, intelligent, happy individual. to me he is a great example, I often wonder what his female exchange would have been like . I know, it doesn't matter, literally, but I am so happy for this man to be alive!

Elizabeth Faitarone if you really skim it down then it's gotta be Tracy chapman. Being concise here in terms of passion, ability, conviction. The funny thing is chapman is globally more well known by ear, sting is more often than not known by his fame. It is what is I guess.

Elizabeth Faitarone Female exchange is that about how many female fans he slept with?

Invisible sun is poetry.

Andy's guitar playing on this shows what a great player he is pure sugar

The sound of this track (especially the howling aspect) used to terrify the HELL out of me as a kid!

Beautiful song with beautiful memories ❤❤

Songs like this hit home when kids heard them playing out loud, -from cars, dorms, garages. MTV didn't matter yet. People had musical souls, and the rockers cared.

As a teenager, I've grown up thinking The Police was cool... Now, entering seniority, I think they had a message.

The Police was my favorite band when I was a kid. I have Zenyatta Mendatta, Ghost in the Machine and Synchronicity on vinyl.

Huuh.. after a very long time I listened to this song and I feel some pain inside of me that I didn't even know it exists ..

Yeah me too and I must have listened to the album a thousand times. It's not in this upload for example. kzread.info/dash/bejne/o6prvLCJl8SXmrQ.html Maybe this is the single, and that bit's not on the album? Or this is an extended remix maybe? It seems about a minute longer than most of the versions on KZread. I think they did the right thing to leave it out on most versions, it kind of turns the song into a bit of a piss-take.

the short clip at the end is taken from the 1960s musical "My Fair Lady". i think Audrey Hepburn was the singer.

From the song "Wouldn't It Be Lovely" from the musical play "My Fair Lady", a comedy about British class distinctions. (Itself based on the play "Pygmalion" by G.B. Shaw.)
