The Police - Roxanne (Bass Cover)

Описание: The Police’s “Roxanne” has always carried a strange kind of beauty — a song about love, boundaries, and the longing to protect someone from the world.
For me, though, it’s tied to a very different story — one from my own childhood.

When I hear “Roxanne,” I’m brought back to a time when everything around me felt chaotic and unsafe. My mother’s house was a place of pain, of anger, of fear. But there was one person — one of her boyfriends — who, while far from perfect, was different. He didn’t hurt me. He treated me with a basic humanity that, back then, felt like a miracle.

He loved this song. My mother hated it — maybe because it reminded her of someone who saw through her cruelty, someone who refused to play by her rules. And even now, decades later, that tension between them still echoes through the chords of “Roxanne.”

It’s strange how a song can hold so many contradictions — love and pain, safety and danger, memory and survival.
For me, “Roxanne” isn’t just about the story it tells in its lyrics — it’s about the moment it represents. A sliver of light in a dark place. A reminder that even in the worst times, kindness — however small — can leave a lasting mark.

This song stands as a complicated memory: of a broken childhood, an imperfect protector, and a rare feeling of peace in the middle of chaos.
Sometimes the songs we hold onto aren’t the ones that heal us completely — they’re the ones that helped us survive.
