Álbum Synchronicity de The Police - Canciones

Synchronicity

Reseña

"Synchronicity" es el quinto álbum de estudio de la banda británica The Police y el último que publicaron antes de su disolución. Lanzado el 1 de junio de 1983 bajo el sello A&M Records, fue autoproducido por la banda, junto al productor británico ganador de cuatro premios Grammy Hugh Padgham, quien ya trabajó con el cantante Sting y compañía en su anterior trabajo, "Ghost in the Machine".

"Synchronicity" incluye algunas de las mejores canciones de The Police, incluyendo el tema "Every Breath You Take ", todo un himno de los ochenta. El álbum logró colocarse en primera posición en las listas británicas y estadounidense. Solamente en Estados Unidos logró vender más de ocho millones de copias.

Las grabaciones se realizaron en los estudios de A&M en Monserrat y los instrumentos se grabaron de forma independiente, con los artistas en diferentes salas y uniendo después las pistas para obtener el resultado final. Las sesiones fueron muy tensas y el cantante de The Police, Sting y Copeland terminaron a puños. La relación entre ellos se volvió insostenible y tras este álbum decidieron no continuar con la banda, no sin antes realizar una gira.

El álbum "Synchronicity" fue nominado a los Grammys de 1984 como Mejor Álbum del Año. Finalmente, el premio se lo llevó el monumental trabajo de
Michael Jackson, el álbum Thriller.

"Every Breath You Take" (Cada vez que respires), quizás el tema más conocido de The Police, fue escrito por Sting y se situó en lo más alto de las listas de ventas durante ocho semanas consecutivas, obteniendo el Grammy a la Mejor canción y como Mejor interpretación pop por un dúo o grupo.

Every Breath You Take | The Police


La canción la compuso Sting al final de su matrimonio con su primera esposa, Frances Tomelty. No se trata de una canción de amor, sino más bien nos retrata a una persona posesiva y controladora y obsesiva. Aunque no la cita, la canción parece estar inspirada en su ex esposa.

El vídeo, rodado en blanco y negro, fue considerado por varios medios, entre ellos MTV, VH1 y Rolling Stone, como uno de los mejores realizados en la historia de la música.

"Wrapped Around Your Finger", el segundo sencillo, vino acompañado de un vídeo que transmitía cierta misticidad, con la banda tocando entre velas y Sting corriendo por corredores formados por grandes candelabros.

    letra de Synchronicity I

    With one breath, with one flow
    You will know
    Synchronicity

    A sleep trance, a dream dance
    A shared romance
    Synchronicity

    A connecting principle
    Linked to the invisible
    Almost imperceptible
    Something inexpressible
    Science insusceptible
    Logic so inflexible
    Causally connectable
    Yet nothing is invincible

    If we share this nightmare
    Then we can dream
    Spiritus mundi

    If you act, as you think
    The missing link
    Synchronicity

    We know you, they know me
    Extrasensory
    Synchronicity

    A star fall, a phone call
    It joins all
    Synchronicity

    It's so deep, it's so wide
    Your inside
    Synchronicity

    Effect without a cause
    Sub-atomic laws, scientific pause
    Synchronicity

    letra de Walking In Your Footsteps

    Fifty million years ago
    You walked upon the planet so
    God of all that you could see,
    Just a little bit like me

    Walking in your footsteps
    Walking in your footsteps
    Walking in your footsteps
    Walking in your footsteps

    Hey Mr. dinosaur
    You really couldn't ask for more
    You were God's favorite creature
    But you didn't have a future

    Walking in your footsteps
    Walking in your foorsteps
    Walking in your footsteps
    Walking in your foorsteps

    Hey there mighty brontosaurus,
    Don't you have a lesson for us
    Thought your rule would always last,
    There were no lessons in your past
    You were built three stories high
    They say you would not hurt a fly
    If we explode the atom bomb
    Will they say that we were dumb

    Walking in your footsteps
    Walking in your footsteps
    Walking in your footsteps
    Walking in your footsteps

    They say the meek shall inherit the earth
    They say the meek shall inherit the earth

    Walking in your footsteps

    letra de O My God

    Everyone I know is lonely
    And God is so far away,
    And my heart belongs to no one,
    So now sometimes I pray
    Please take the space between us
    And fill it up some way.
    Take the space between us
    And fill it up some way.

    Oh my God you take the biscuit
    Treating me this way
    Expecting me to treat you well
    No matter what you say.
    How can I turn the other cheek
    It's black and bruised and torn
    I've been waiting
    Since the day that I was born.

    Take the space between us
    And fill it up some way.
    Take the space between us
    And fill it up some way.

    The fat man in his garden
    The thin man at his gate
    My God you must be sleeping
    Wake up, it's much too late.

    Take the space between us
    And fill it up some way.
    Take the space between us
    And fill it up some way.

    Do I have to tell the story
    Of a thousand rainy days?
    Since we first met,
    It's a big enough umbrella
    But it's always me that ends up getting wet.

    letra de Mother

    Well the telephone is ringing
    Is that my mother on the phone?
    Telephone is ringing
    Is that my mother on the phone?
    The telephone is screaming
    Won't she leave me alone?
    The telephone is ringing
    Is that my mother on the phone?

    Well every girl that
    I go out with
    Becomes my mother in the end
    Every girl I go out with
    Becomes my mother in the end
    Well I hear my mother calling
    But I don't need her as a friend
    Well every girl I go out with
    Becomes my mother in the end

    Oh, Oh, Mother
    Oh, Mother

    Oh mother dear please listen
    And don't devour me
    Oh mother dear please listen
    Don't devour me
    Oh women please have mercy
    Let this poor boy be
    Oh mother dear please listen
    And don't devour me
    Oh mother...

    Well the telephone is ringing
    Is that my mother on the phone?
    Telephone is ringing
    Is that my mother on the phone?
    The telephone is screaming
    Won't she leave me alone?
    The telephone is ringing
    Is that my mother on the phone?

    Oh mother

    letra de Miss Gradenko

    Don't tell the director
    I said so
    But are you safe Miss Gradenko?
    We were at a policy meeting
    They were planning
    New ways of cheating
    I didn't want
    To rock your boat
    But you sent this dangerous note
    You've been letting your feelings show
    Are you safe Miss Gradenko?
    Miss Gradenko are you safe?
    Are you safe Miss Gradenko?
    Miss Gradenko are you safe?

    Is anybody alive in here?
    Is anybody alive in here?
    Is anybody at all in here?
    Nobody but us living here
    Nobody but us
    Is anybody alive in here?
    Nobody but us

    Your uniform doesn't seem to fit
    You're much too alive in it
    You've been letting
    Your feelings show
    Are you safe Miss Gradenko?
    Miss Gradenko are you safe?

    Is anybody alive in here?
    Is anybody alive in here?
    Is anybody at all in here?
    Nobody but us living here
    Nobody but us

    Is anybody alive in here?
    Is anybody alive in here?
    Is anybody at all in here?
    Nobody but us living here
    Nobody but us
    Nobody but us living here
    Nobody but us

    letra de Synchronicity II

    Another suburban family morning
    Grandmother screaming at the wall
    We have to shout above the din of our Rice Crispies
    We can't hear anything at all
    Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration
    But we know all her suicides are fake
    Daddy only stares into the distance
    There's only so much more that he can take
    Many miles away
    Something crawls from the slime
    At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake

    Another industrial ugly morning
    The factory belches filth into the sky
    He walks unhindered through the picket lines today
    He doesn't think to wonder why
    The secretaries pout and preen like
    cheap tarts in a red light street
    But all he ever thinks to do is watch
    And every single meeting with his so-called superior
    Is a humiliating kick in the crotch
    Many miles away
    Something crawls to the surface
    Of a dark Scottish loch

    Another working day has ended
    Only the rush hour hell to face
    Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes
    Contestants in a suicidal race
    Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance
    He knows that something somewhere has to break
    He sees the family home now looming in the headlights
    The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache
    Many miles away
    There's a shadow on the door
    Of a cottage on the shore
    Of a dark Scottish lake
    Many miles away, many miles away

    letra de Every Breath You Take

    Every breath you take
    Every move you make
    Every bond you break
    Every step you take
    I'll be watching you

    Every single day
    Every word you say
    Every game you play
    Every night you stay
    I'll be watching you

    Oh, can't you see?
    You belong to me
    How my poor heart aches
    With every step you take

    Every move you make
    Every vow you break
    Every smile you fake
    Every claim you stake
    I'll be watching you

    Since you've gone, I've been lost without a trace
    I dream at night I can only see your face
    I look around, but it's you I can't replace
    I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
    I keep crying, baby, baby, please

    Oh, can't you see?
    You belong to me
    How my poor heart aches
    With every step you take

    Every move you make
    Every vow you break
    Every smile you fake
    Every claim you stake
    I'll be watching you

    Every move you make
    Every step you take
    I'll be watching you

    I'll be watching you

    (Every breath you take
    Every move you make
    Every bond you break
    Every step you take)

    I'll be watching you

    (Every single day
    Every word you say
    Every game you play
    Every night you stay)

    I'll be watching you

    (Every move you make
    Every vow you break
    Every smile you fake
    Every claim you stake)

    I'll be watching you

    (Every single day
    Every word you say
    Every game you play
    Every night you stay)

    I'll be watching you

    (Every breath you take
    Every move you make
    Every bond you break
    Every step you take)

    I'll be watching you

    (Every single day
    Every word you say
    Every game you play
    Every night you stay)

    letra de King Of Pain

    There's a little black spot on the sun today
    It's the same old thing as yesterday
    There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
    There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop

    I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
    With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
    I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
    But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

    There's a little black spot on the sun today
    (That's my soul up there)
    It's the same old thing as yesterday
    (That's my soul up there)
    There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
    (That's my soul up there)
    There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop
    (That's my soul up there)

    I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
    With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
    I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
    But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

    There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
    (That's my soul up there)
    There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
    (That's my soul up there)
    There's a blue whale beached by a springtime's ebb
    (That's my soul up there)
    There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
    (That's my soul up there)

    I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
    With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
    I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
    But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

    There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
    There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
    There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
    There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread
    King of pain

    There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
    (That's my soul up there)
    There's a black-winged gull with a broken back
    (That's my soul up there)
    There's a little black spot on the sun today
    It's the same old thing as yesterday

    I have stood here before in the pouring rain
    With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
    I guess I always thought you could end this reign
    But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

    King of pain
    King of pain
    King of pain
    I'll always be king of pain

    letra de Wrapped Around Your Finger

    You consider me the young apprentice
    Caught between the scylia and charibdes
    Hypnotized by you if I should linger
    Staring at the ring around your finger

    I have only come here seeking knowledge
    Things they wouldn't 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

    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 willl see it come to its fruition

    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 will find your servant is your master

    And you'll be wrapped around my finger

    letra de Tea In The Sahara

    My sisters and I
    Have this wish before we die.
    And it may sound strange
    As if our minds are deranged.
    Please don't ask us why
    Beneath the sheltering sky
    We have this strange obsession
    You have the means in your possession.
    We want our tea in the Sahara with you.
    We want our tea in the Sahara with you.
    The young man agreed
    He would satisfy their need
    So they danced for his pleasure
    With a joy you could not measure.
    They would wait for him here
    The same place every year.
    Beneath the sheltering sky
    Across the desert he would fly.
    Tea in the Sahara with you.
    Tea in the Sahara with you.
    The sky turned to black-
    Would he ever come back?
    They would climb a high dune
    They would pray to the moon.
    But he'd never return,
    So the sisters would burn
    As their eyes searched the land
    With their cups full of sand.
    Tea in the Sahara with you.
    Tea in the Sahara with you...

    letra de Murder By Numbers

    Once that you've decided on a killing
    First you make a stone of your heart
    And if you find that your hands are still willing
    Then you can turn a murder into art

    There really isn't any need for bloodshed
    You just do it with a little more finesse
    If you can slip a tablet into someone's coffee
    Then it avoids an awful lot of mess

    It's murder by numbers one two three
    It's as easy to learn as ABC (2x)

    Now if You have a taste for this experience
    And you're flushed with your very first success
    Then you must try a twosome or a threesome
    And you'll find your conscience bothers you much less

    Because murder is like anything you take to
    It's a habit-forming need for more and more
    You can bump off every member of your family
    And anybody else you find a bore

    Because it's murder by numbers one two three
    It's as easy to learn as your ABC (2x)

    Now you can join the rank of the illustrious
    In history's great dark hall of fame
    All our greatest killers were industrious
    At least the ones that we all know by name

    But you can reach the top of your profession
    I you become the leader of the land
    For murder is the sport of the elected
    And you don't need to lift a finger of your hand

    Because it's murder by numbers one two three
    It's as easy to learn as your ABC (2x)
