Major to Minor…Every Breath You Take

[franklanguage]

As is mentioned in the YouTube comments, this is "wonderfully creepy." I'm glad I'm not the only person who always thought the lyrics to Every Breath You Take were being told from the point of view of a stalker.

Back in 2001, several of us who listened and supported WBAI radio were "vigilers" outside the station in the wake of the "Christmas Coup." I sometimes brought my euphonium, and rewrote some Christmas carols in a minor key, calling them "Christmas Coup Carols." It was weirdly appropriate.

Oh that song is totally about being a stalker! Sting said as much; he wrote it about his ex wife. Back when I was in a band, I was always amazed at how many couples requested this for a wedding song.

I once did a medley of this song and 'Till You Come Back to Me (the Aretha Franklin Song) and they are a perfect pair.
