80s Week
Every Breath You Take (1983)
Sting, bass, vocals
Andy Summers, guitar
Stewart Copeland, drums
(3:48)
from Synchronicity
An extraordinary song by one of the best trios in rock history.
Sting inserts a deceptive cadence in Bar 15 -- that vi chord (C Minor) serves as pivot to an unprepared modulation to B Major (Bar 41).
He easily moves back to E-Flat with an enharmonic D#/Eb (Bar 51).

The video (in black & white) is just as amazing as the song. An ashtray turns into a drumhead ... and then back to an ashtray.
