Sting: How ‘Every Breath You Take’ went from a ‘stalker’ song to beloved wedding track

the Police to his solo career, Sting says it never gets old when one of his songs gets a brand-new spin.And the timeless tunes of the artist born Gordon Sumner get a fresh flip in the new dance theater production “Message in a Bottle,” which is “sending out an SOS” from New York City Center through Sunday.“I always love to see someone else’s interpretation of one of my songs,” said the 17-time Grammy winner in a talkback following Sunday’s matinee performance. “I love it when rappers take a piece of my song and they create another art form from it as a basis.“I always love when people have a different interpretation to the meaning that I put into it myself, because it widens the song.

The Post’s official solar eclipse playlist: David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Bonnie Tyler and more
this epic power ballad, which hit No. 1 in 1983, the Welsh belter nailed the galactic pain of when the heart goes totally dark.If you don’t have some Ziggy Stardust up in your eclipse mix, then really, we can’t help you.This jazz- and falsetto-kissed bliss from “Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic” — the late, great Purple One’s underappreciated 1999 album — is a cosmic chill-out.Of course, Harrison has kept us basking in the eternal glow of “Here Comes the Sun,” off The Beatles’ 1969 classic “Abbey Road.” But 10 years later, he flipped the script with this ethereal dreaminess from his 1979 self-titled album.Going from Policeman to jazzman in his early solo years, Sting worked all of his tantric sexiness on this moonlit serenade from 1987’s “…Nothing Like the Sun.”The “Uptown Funk”-ster breaks out his best street-corner croon on this swoonworthy tune — from “Doo-Wops & Hooligans,” his 2010 debut album — that is all the starry-eyed feels.The sunshine-pop quartet radiate peace, love and celestial on this song, which as part of a chart-topping medley with “Aquarius” won them the Record of the Year Grammy in 1970.On his breakout 1971 hit, Brother Bill captures the pitch blackness — and bleakness — when both his house and heart turn cold “anytime she goes away.”Chris Cornell — one of rock’s all-time greatest voices — left a black hole in the music world when he died in 2017.
