It was so hot today that I had to choose an old favourite, an album from the summer two years ago, when I used to listen to it. If I created new weird tags, I would stick a "we broke up and there's a new life coming" tag on it. Yes, there are some kinds of music which you have to listen to forget, to feel free, to get happier and carefree. Police did a great job for this aim - perhaps these properties take effect only on me, I don't know it for sure... but take a try if you feel it.
Many of us don't know that Sting - before his private music-making - was the leader of the rock group, The police. But I go further: he started his career as a jazz bassist. So go back in time: if you know what is Sting's music like, Police will be different. It was simple, cool, free, and sometimes funny, totally vivid, and full of energy. One of my favourite is Reggatta de blanc (and the three best albums are ~, Synchronicity, and Zenyatta mondatta).
Sting's mid-high toned voice suits well on the music which is based on cool rhythms and drum patterns. And there's a slight touch of reggae in their tracks, making it interesting. The album starts with the well-known Message in the bottle, to set on the mood, but later a few slower songs also appear: for example my special favourite: The bed's too big without you, which is a nice expression by the words and there's a cool bass melody in the whole track. And in addition, the album features Walking on the Moon and Bring on the night, too, not mentioning some funny stuff as On any other day, which's lyrics is the following:
There's a house on my street
And it looks real neat
I'm the chap who lives in it
There's a tree on the sidewalk
There's a car by the door
I'll go for a drive in it
And when the wombat comes
He will find me gone
He'll look for a place to sit
My wife has burned the scrambled eggs
The dog just bit my leg
My teenage daughter ran away
My fine young son has turned out gay
Cut off my fingers in the
Door of my car
How could I do it?
My wife is proud to tell me
Of her love affairs
How could she do this to me?
My wife has burned the scrambled eggs
The dog just bit my leg
My teenage daughter ran away
My fine young son has turned out gay
And it would be ok on any other day
And it would be ok on any other day
Throw down the morning papers
And spill my tea
I don't know what's wrong with me
The cups and plates are in a
Conspiracy
I'm covered in misery
My wife has burned the scrambled eggs
The dog just bit my leg
My teenage daughter ran away
My fine young son has turned out gay
And it would be ok on any other day
And it would be ok on any other day
And it would be ok on any other day
So this album mix these things, and this is what makes it great, a great leisure for a summer day.
