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?
