Every Breath You Take - the Police (Bass Cover)

Описание: Who Watches Over You?
The song "Every Breath You Take" speaks of constant observation, but while human watchfulness can be controlling, God’s watchful eye is filled with love and care.

The Bible says:

"The Lord watches over you... The Lord will keep you from all harm—He will watch over your life." (Psalm 121:5,7)
Unlike human jealousy or obsession, God’s presence brings peace, guidance, and true security. He sees every step we take, not to control us, but to lead us into His love and purpose.

While recording, guitarist Andy Summers came up with a guitar part inspired by Béla Bartók that would later become a trademark lick, and played it straight through in one take. He was asked to put guitar onto a simple backing track of bass, drums, and a single vocal, with Sting offering no directive beyond "make it your own".
Summers remembered:

This was a difficult one to get, because Sting wrote a very good song, but there was no guitar on it. He had this Hammond organ thing that sounded like Billy Preston. It certainly didn't sound like the Police, with that big, rolling synthesizer part. We spent about six weeks recording just the snare drums and the bass. It was a simple, classic chord sequence, but we couldn't agree how to do it. I'd been making an album with Robert Fripp, and I was kind of experimenting with playing Bartok violin duets and had worked up a new riff. When Sting said 'go and make it your own', I went and stuck that lick on it, and immediately we knew we had something special.
The song had a music video (directed by duo Godley & Creme) loosely based on Gjon Mili's 1944 short film Jammin' the Blues. Shot in black-and-white with a navy blue tint, the video depicts the band, accompanied by a pianist and string section, performing the song in a darkened ballroom as a man washes the floor-to-ceiling window behind them. Sting performs his part on upright bass rather than bass guitar.
