Unscrambled

The new Police CD is coming out, and it is a two CD set. There are some good songs on the discs, including these that I've unscrambled from a list provided by my sponsor:

1. Fallout
2. Next to You
3. So Lonely
4. Bring on the Night
5. Every Breath You Take
6. Synchronicity
7. Wrapped Around Your Finger
8. Spirits in the Material World
9. Regatta de Blanc
10. Invisible Sun



It is hard for me to decide, from that great list, which is my favorite. I love "Invisible Sun," and I have lots of fun memories of "Every Breath You Take." One of the funniest Police-related memories I have is when the "class clown" of my youth group used to sing his own tailor-made lyrics, "Every Bath You Take" (ending with "I'll be washing you"). It was pretty funny, back in the day.

But I suppose "Wrapped Around Your Finger" is one of my all-time favorites, whether of The Police of anyone else. I love that song. I remember when the Synchronicity album came out, I was at my friends place, and we listened to the whole album (yes, an LP). It was so great -- we just ate it all up. I remember watching the MTV video the first time it came out. I loved it. I thought the all-white outfits they donned, and the lamps, were just outstanding. That video has always remained one of myall-time favorites too. It's top-notch, with a real artsy feel. That's just my taste.

I am excited about the release of the new CD, and am looking forward to the concert in Houston. I know we'll have a copy in my house, and I think I have to buy one for my best friend in Singapore too. She is a real fan of The Police, and I know she would love it. And of course, I am always in her debt, so buying her a CD wouldn't really be too much to ask. Right?

Anyway, I know we'll all enjoy it!

Scaredy Cats

I have been feeling bad about my 3 year old being a real scaredy cat recently. He has been crying at night, refusing to sleep alone, even though he's been doing that for some months now. He's scared of thunder, scared of loud noises, and even just ran to Daddy when there was a loud noise while he was watching Cars with his friends.

I don't feel so bad about it today, though. That's because 2 friends told me about their kids being scared of different silly little things. So scared they screamed and cried, one of them in public. And those kids were bigger -- one 7 and one 8.

I guess we all go through our stages being scaredy cats sometimes.

Police Together Again

A long time ago I was sitting in my dorm room at school and listening to a unique sounding band that had some catchy melodies. My cousin had just bought the LP album and we were playing it on my turntable. He started singing one of the songs and I said," What did he jsut say?" I will repeat the lyric he sang...Once that youve decided on a killing First you make a stone of your heart.... I was hooked then and there. We played the song over and over and began to listen to all the other songs from the other albums as well. Luckily I have since gotten the police cd instead of the album.

The Police have been one of the best loved and most copied bands of all time. That song, "Murder by Numbers" was just one of many songs that helped bring Rock music into a lighter side of lyric writing that still had a poignant message. From the early days of the bands writing other bands have tried to delve into the style of light hearted (light-hearted is probably the wrong term) writing that packs a punch. Meaning not just songs about girls. I believe that Rush in the later days was influenced by the Police even though they were contemporaries. Anyone that has a political message in their lyrics was probably influenced by the Police.

I have just heard that there is a new police cd coming out. It will contain all of my favorites. Besides Murder by Numbers it will include Synchronicity I and II and Dont Stand so Close to Me and of course Roxanne, several of my other all time favorite Police songs. When are they coming to Houston?
