Lyrics:
You consider me the young apprentice
Caught between the Scylla and Charibdis
Hypnotized by you if I should linger
Staring at the ring around your finger
I have only come here seeking knowledge
Things they would not teach me of in college
I can see the destiny you sold
Turn into a shining band of gold
I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger
Mephistopheles is not your name
But I know what you're up to just the same
I will listen hard to your tuition
And you will see it come to its fruition
I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger
Devil and the deep blue sea behind me
Vanish in the air you'll never find me
I will turn your flesh to alabaster
When you find your servant is your master
And you'll be wrapped around my finger
--

@toddk576 4 месяца назад

From a songwriting perspective, this is a masterclass in dynamics. Each of the three masters up their game in the 3rd verse, building the song to a crescendo that’s essentially unmatched in popular music. It’s not about volume. It’s not about tempo - but it is (as Jeff Porcaro would say) about “lope.” The song leaps ahead in the third verse - starting the with bass line, under the “Devil and the deep blue sea behind me” lyric - that’s a perfect “on ramp” to what’s about to come. Stewart plays hi-hat and rim clicks up to this point, but then erupts with tasty share fills, kick drum and ride cymbal (on the chorus) that elevates the song. Andy’s (added) guitar part sounds like an alarm blaring: it’s subtle, but it’s a great guitar “hook” alerting listeners to the upcoming chorus. And the lyrics leading into the third chorus are among Sting’s best (and that’s saying something): “I will turn your face to alabaster: when you'll find your servant is your master: you'll be wrapped around MY finger.” What a brilliant twist! The whole song comes alive, with each musician playing an equal part in building the dynamics. This is how songs can, and should “move”. It’s not quantized. It’s not even about tempo. It’s about chops, mastery of instruments, and songwriting. Thank you Sting, Andy and Stewart.

@donnythompson408 2 года назад

Stewart Copeland’s drumming is...sublime. At 3:30, in the softer “Devil and the deep blue sea” section, and right after the next line, “Vanish in the air you’ll never find me”, Copeland brings it all back in with a single snare flam, and it’s so impeccably tasteful, so effective, so impactful in its simplicity...and so very perfect for the song, that it’s stunning. So many other drummers would have tried to fill that space (or really wanted to) with a busy, thundering (and yawningly predictable) huge drum fill... But Copeland? Nope. With that one flam on the snare, he “says” more than any 20 piece kit drummer could ever hope to present by pounding out some “big” fill, and rounding half a dozen toms in a pseudo Phil Collins “In The Air Tonight” style. Part of being a great player, particularly those that play as part of a band, is to play in ways that best serve the song, instead of serving themselves (and their own egos) with a “look how many push-ups I can do!” bragging style in their playing. Copeland is an amazing drummer to be sure, and it’s not that he can’t play technically complex fills or drum patterns, (because he absolutely can), but...he’s also a great MUSICIAN, because he has that rare gift of playing in a way that is always so very tasteful, and with parts that always serve any song he’s playing so incredibly well. IMO. 🙏

@Leetah36 2 года назад

Nice observation. I'm going to have another listen.

@nicprs5109 2 года назад

That single, potent, explosive flam is the pivot point of the track and is simple, subtle genius. Watch the recent Japan version too for more of it when Stu comes down from the huge array of percussion to pick up the bridge on his kit………just awesome.

@donnythompson408 2 года назад

@@nicprs5109 - thanks for the suggestion, I will definitely check that out. 🙏 The other thing about that snare flam that I forgot to mention, is that Copeland doesn’t (predictably) hit a crash cymbal on the downbeat after it, and that makes the flam all the more elegant. Sometimes (often, in fact), it’s what ISN’T played - a drum fill, a guitar lead, a bass riff, etc. - that can be far more tasteful (and way more effective and impactful) than any fancy drum fill or shredding guitar riff could ever convey. Stewart Copeland is a master of dynamics, and part of that mastery is recognizing both when and what NOT to play, and in letting a song breathe by allowing an exquisite sense of space to exist. IMHO. 🙏😊

@@donnythompson408 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-43l4ksaD3vA.html. I completely agree with you.

"Wrapped Around Your Finger" You consider me the young apprentice Caught between the Scylla and Charybdis Hypnotized by you if I should linger Staring at the ring around your finger I have only come here seeking knowledge Things they would not teach me of in college I can see the destiny you sold Turned into a shining band of gold I'll be wrapped around your finger I'll be wrapped around your finger Mephistopheles is not your name I know what you're up to just the same I will listen hard to your tuition And you will see it come to its fruition I'll be wrapped around your finger I'll be wrapped around your finger Devil and the deep blue sea behind me Vanish in the air, you'll never find me I will turn your face to alabaster Then you'll find your servant is your master You'll be wrapped around my finger You'll be wrapped around my finger You'll be wrapped around my finger Yo Ohhh... "Synchronicity" 1983

If you want to understand why some of us love the 80s so much, try to find even one song from any era that sounds like this. This kind of experimentation was the norm. Compare this with the autotune sameness of today.

This song always reminds me of an era gone by when music was music. Growing up, I had a chance to listen to all music. And I am thankful for music, like many great artists that I tuned into as a kid, a teenager, a young adult, and now as a 57 year old young woman. It's amazing how songs bring back memories, good or bad.

@@matthewb9955 The Police were actually one of the biggest grossing bands in the 80s. They weren't even in the "just as good as any other band" club they were in a league of their own both in live ticket sales and income which is why they aren't mentioned among the others; they are not comparable, particularly when the musicianship in the 80s was on the decline due to the increased use of sampling and drum machines and less of a need for actual talent.
