I like it when you do something that us “old” folks have heard of. Some of us grew up in 50’s and 60’s. Loved police.
"We were born... Born in the FIF-ties"
For me what made The Police so special is that they really understood the power of silence in music. Great records are as much about what isn’t played as what is. They were masters of dynamics and giving their songs the space to breathe.
I completely agree with this
Those scratch lyrics blew my mind. It completely changes who the song could be actually directed towards.
May I ask where you get the copies of the multi-tracks? It's awesome. Really lets us hear the parts broken down Thanks!
Pretty sure you can buy them but this stuff is crazy expensive.
scratch vocals are better than the actual - every Irish wake, indeed
'Wait a minute! I'm not sure why it's not working here!' Sums up my recording expertise...
Awesome snare.
Thanks Rick, You are my "Hubble" Telescope into the music universe , and it's beautiful out there ! Thanks again.
You have written one of my favorite comments ever.
Beautifully put
Well put. Yes, he is the telescope to the universe of music
The Police’s drums have always been one of their most impressive elements to me. Not as much in this song as in something like Roxanne or Message in a Bottle but still, the drums are always totally on point and they often sound completely different from anything any other rock bands were doing at the time.
thats mr stewart copeland, mate !
Just listening Copeland's hi-hat work with the Police is fun alone. His drumming is has always been a joy to listen to.
And that's one of the major reasons I'm really not a fan of this tune; it lacks Copeland's syncopated, distinctive beats. The vocal, ambient and melodic tracks are great, but that metronomic thump thump thump just rides my nerves. Shame.
@@KingKook totally agree. to me, this song is was sounded out of place with the rest of the rest album. his drums(music too) is a bit TOO tame compared to the rest of the album.
Sting was absolutely adamant that the drum track was kept simple. Hugh Padgham has an hilarious story of Stewart trying to add a high hat when Sting was out of the studio only for Sting to have Hugh erase it(while Sting stood over him to make sure he did in fact erase it)on his return. I think Sting was right.
The Police had a great formula and style! Each musician added so much to the whole.
Reggae, Rock, Punkish, Pop styles!
Please do message in a bottle..
In the meantime, check out the version by Matisyahu. It's a good one....
You are correct Rick when you say the simplicity of the song makes it great. Sting was right on the money with this track when he chose to bind Copeland's wrists! (As much as I adore his usual technique)
What also makes this song great, is by not allowing the bridge to be repeated. He really understood the "less is more" concept & applies it well. And of course the superb lyrics makes this song (in my opinion) one of the greatest ever written.
Agree100%
Hi Rick Im from Mexico And I am a sound engineer I admire you for your passion in this profession it’s a blessing to have a person like you and make good things with the music and Learn from you thanks again
Yay, another Police song! They were one of my favorite bands in the 80s. Andy's guitar was beautiful on this.
A wonderful reminder of how such huge dynamics come from craftsmanship and not necessarily by adding more tracks.
31:49 Who's this Will here and what did he do to be banned? A question that may never be answered... EDIT @35:19 WAIT PLEASE DON'T BAN ME I DIDN'T KNOW MENTIONING HIM IS BAN WORTHY! lol XD
Rick... how do you get all these master tracks to evaluate these songs? Is this something you can buy? I would love to be able to dig into a song the same way with Pro Tools
I've been wondering too. I would have imagined that master tracks are typically closely guarded by the original recording artists to prevent unauthorized mixes from being released.
@@michaelhey4039 he's a pretty well known producer so it's possible he's got them through other well known producers
Waiting for Synchronicity II
literally their best song ever is synchronicity 2.
Yeah! me too!
It has the best video as well
Waiting for Regatta de Blanc 2
MY FAVORITE POLICE SONG!
If I remember at the time Sting said he played his electric upright overdubbed with the Steinberger or Precision on a number of songs. I believe King Of Pain was another.
Where does he get the separated tracks for these tunes? Best series on UA-cam, btw.
I wonder for a long time, how he does that. Maybe he just got the original multitracks?
I believe my dad’s guitarist is able to do this. He’s got his own professional studio. However 🤷🏻♀️if that program can be picked 🆙 in my dad’s non-pro studio using an app on the ⌨️🖥. I’ll have2ask. Cause that’s 1 prog. I’d❤️2have myself!
@@n8vsprt315 it is Digidisegn (now Avid) ProTools programme.
@@n8vsprt315 No, he's even got different layers of the same instrument, or lyrics or parts that weren't included in release. So he has access to original studio tracks.
He's a producer. He isolated the tracks himself
The synth and piano in the bridge sound epic on their own. Like something from the final credits of a Hollywood blockbuster.
Who played the piano and the keyboards on this?
The scratch lyrics are awesome.
They're not really scratch. They were used in a remixed version for a rather uncharacteristically serious ending to a series of the satirical Spitting Image show. It was basically about the troubles & the Irish wake line is not at all funny in that context.
I agree it doesn't sound like a scratch vocal but rather something close to the version of the song that was used in "Spitting Image - Every Bomb You Make"
Every bomb you make
And every job you take
Every heart you break
Every Irish wake
I’ll be watching you…
Every wall you build
And everyone you've killed
Every grave you've filled
All the blood you've spilled
I’ll be watching you…
Oh, can't you see?
You belong to me
There’ll be a bill to pay
On that judgement day...
For every empty plate
And every word of hate
Those who violate
I’ll be watching you…
@@gonefishing2006 think man that was later … people are so dim
Thanks! One of the greatest songs out there! As to the lyrics, I've heard that Sting was actually trying to get across the idea that a love song could also be construed in a more, shall we say, menacing way. Have you ever seen that black & white picture where some people see 2 faces looking at each other (usually in black silhouette) - while other people see the white vase in the middle? It's a bit like that; you could take it one way or the other. I take it to mean *_both_* simultaneously. I often think that one of the problems women face is that they really *_do_* want a guy to 'pursue' them - in a nice, romantic way, of course - but for them, it always seems to be the *_wrong_* guy, & then it's just creepy. Anyway, that's my take. Thanks again. Rikki Tikki.
I could do with a King of Pain breakdown
I've just been listening to that song. Wonderful song.
William James Durant was an American writer, historian, and philosopher. He became best known for his work The Story of Civilization
Yes - I'd love a "King of Pain" dissection, as well as "Ring Around My Finger".
Synchronicity is my favorite Police album with Ghost in the Machine as a very close 2nd
Synchronicity II is my favorite on this album. That's the tune which introduced me to The Police back in '83-once I became a diehard fan, •Ghost in the Machine• became my favorite album, with "Secret Journey" as my favorite song by them.
Ghost and Jurney, same here.
Same here! 💜💙💜💙
A *very* underrated album. Intense, driving and hypnotic
Me too!
Mine would be a toss up between Ghost & Regatta De Blanc.
MY FRIEND, I'VE WATCED YOUR CHANNEL SEVERAL TIMES, OVER THE PAST OR LAST YEAR AND YOUR KNOWLEDGE IS OFF THE CHAIN MAN. WOW!
The improvised lyrics make the song MUCH better. LOL!
And you don't even need to play it backwards.
Much less creepy and "Every wall you build" quite prophetic!
Sometimes when I click on your videos I feel like a child, that just walked into the library. I have ten thousand bits of information at my fingertips....but I only have five minutes to choose. All I can say is Thanks Mr. Beato! More Police please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the scratch vox, Sting was stalking a serial killer lol. Wow, that's a whole different song entirely 😆
The lyrics don t say that listen again it more about totalitarianism and war
The scratch vocals are haunting. Invisible Sun off Ghost in the Machine is also about the Irish Troubles.
both bass tracks made it into the final mix, Sting often double tracked his bass parts, either a fretless/double bass + a picked bass or even a clean muted guitar, to give more definition. At least that's what he said.
Glad it didn’t get taken down. Have any actually gotten taken down? Anyway, I was hoping for Spirits in the Material World but I’m happy for a breakdown of just about any Police song.
Timothy Reeves fleetwood mac You can go your own way is blocked in the netherlands....
@@metallicafan114 blocked also in Scotland
+Robin Jansen It's even blocked in the United States as well.
I'd like to hear your opinion on the best albums to listen to start to finish. I'd like to hear Pink Floyds animals record through your ears.
or "wish you were here"
Animals is masterful in every way. Best album to listen to from start to finish ever.
Achtung Baby
If you ever feel like doing Tool again, try Right In Two. It's a very different type of song compared to their usual style.
This has to happen!
Awesome video! Please analyse bohemian rhapsody! It would be a great breakdown!
basic
Queen are blockers
How did Rick get his hands on the master from “Every Breath You Take”? Man, this guy is connected...
I'm pretty sure he asked Sting for it.
@@BossDM-2 Stewart Copeland would totally do something like this though
Probably Sting knew about and cherished Rick's UA-cam activity as an educator and music expert. I believe he gave the permission and then, more recently, followed the renown interview together. That's some rare material to put hands on.
And still some bands go on blocking Rick's videos which are a tribute for them...
Some bands upload or allow uploading of what today are called “stems”, which I believe are tracks.
Not my field at all, but I follow James Hargreaves Guitar & he often isolates every track from famous Britpop songs.
Not my writing, just passing this along....
This was a difficult one to get, because Sting wrote a very good song, but there was no guitar on it. He had this Hammond organ thing that sounded like Billy Preston. It certainly didn't sound like the Police, with that big, rolling synthesiser part. We spent about six weeks recording just the snare drums and the bass. It was a simple, classic chord sequence, but we couldn't agree how to do it. I'd been making an album with Robert Fripp, and I was kind of experimenting with playing Bartok violin duets and had worked up a new riff. When Sting said 'go and make it your own', I went and stuck that lick on it, and immediately we knew we had something special.
- Andy Summers
The recording process was fraught with difficulties as personal tensions between the band members, particularly Sting and Stewart Copeland, came to the fore. Producer Hugh Padgham claimed that by the time of the recording sessions, Sting and Copeland "hated each other", with verbal and physical fights in the studio common. The tensions almost led to the recording sessions being cancelled until a meeting involving the band and the group's manager, Miles Copeland (Stewart's brother), resulted in an agreement to continue. Keyboard parts were added from Roland guitar synthesizers, a Prophet-5 and an Oberheim synthesiser The single-note piano in the middle eight was recommended by Padgham, inspired by similar work that he had done with the group XTC. The drum track was largely created through separate overdubs of each percussive instrument, with the main back beat created by simultaneously playing a snare and a gong drum. To give the song more liveliness, Padgham asked Copeland to record his drum part in the studio's dining room in order to achieve some "special sound effects". The room was so hot, that his drum sticks had to be taped to Copeland's hands to make sure they didn't fly off. According to Stewart Copeland
Mervin Griff This is completely not surprising haha!
It's sad that they couldn't get along, and that's why they broke up. They were a great band, and none of them including Sting ever achieved the same level of greatness afterwards.
Paul McCartney's advice to Johnny Marr when he told him about the breakup of the Smiths: 'Well... that's bands for ya.'
Sting one of the greatest lyricists and songwriters in rock history.
A great songwriter for sure, but I do not care for the lyrics of this song. It's a creepy stalker song that masquerades as a love ballad.
@@michaelhey4039 that's the point of the song!
@scottharrisohn6972 Thank you for your comment. I wish I had noticed this video as well as your tremendous words at the time.... Best wishes, Andrea S.
I remember when this song came out and was topping the charts in Ottawa, Canada. The popular AM station at the time let the listeners call up and dedicate songs, presumable to their lovers and crushes. I was only in grade 6 or 7 at the time, and really liked this tune, but thought it was hilarious that people were dedicating it like it was a romantic expression of affection haha. Anyways, thanks for decoding this wonderful song, and the trip down memory lane!
The first Time i heard this song i thought immediately about a clock
Nicolas Cerra said: Rick, you have really good content but I want to ask you one thing, what kind of product do you use for your hair? It's beautiful.
The multi-tracks are available from any song that is on Rock Band, people hack it to reveal all the separate tracks of a song.
As much as I really like your WMTSG episodes, this one makes me appreciate edited versions. An hour is just a little long when there's much else to do with the day.
The "Every Bomb You Make" vocal is one Sting did for the Spitting Image UK TV show.
+1 to that - I think it was the last ever show. And in the context of the politics of the time, "every Irish wake" is not in least bit funny, referencing as it does the Troubles in Northern Ireland that afflicted both sides of that community, as well as the wide UK. NOT funny at all!
@@Finishyoursong - I think it was the last show of that series rather than the last ever. Every other episode ended with a satirical sing-along, but this one was a bit different. Set to a slow-motion sunset, it wasn't supposed to be funny - notably the "Every Irish wake" line with illustrated with the puppet of Ian Paisley.
@@turricanedtc3764 In addition to the fact the bbc didn't play the other song about ireland , invisible sun.. so he was probably very keen to slip the comment through as satirical
@@ashleywhiteman2684 - Well, "Spitting Image" was on ITV, not the BBC... :)
@@Finishyoursong Hi Paul, I love your channel and tutorial videos of Cubase. It taught me everything! Best ever videos on YT. I am glad to see that you like Rick's videos too and the Police/Sting. Cheers!
Hi Rick, where you find separated tracks?
cheers from Italy!
The way Andy set up his guitar, delays, using the Roland Jazz Chorus amp ..... is mind blowing. It's way not as simple as one may think, and you can hear the track isolated somewhere.
It's too bad they all hated each other by this time. They had so much more to give and I was never all that bowled over by Sting's solo stuff.
I'm a big Police fan, but this is my least favourite track. I just find it a bit boring. The middle section and piano/synth stuff sounds are cool, though. This is a great video. Thanks, Rick.
Hell, the best part of the police, Stewart, is hardly even present. I could play that drum track in my sleep.
Stewart Copeland was not too pleased to be treated like a session musician on this one.
where did you get those multitracks!!!!!!
So the song is actually about war and totalitarianism… yes i felt that
Tears For Fears - Everybody Wants to Rule The World
Pretty sure he's done this now
Strangly, Roland Orzabal, the writer of most TFF songs, said the original title for that one was "Everybody wants to go to War."
SHOUT
@@LifeofCharlie19 That was the working title for the song. They've released a version of the song where they sing "Everybody Wants To Run The World" as well.
BY the way Thanks for this POLICE VIDEO!!!!!!!!
Actually, I hear it as both bass tracks are used in the final mix (listening on hifi headphones to the finished track). I think that's part of the magic of the deceptively simple groove.
You should do a video about Faith No More
Pedro Nolasco Gamboa that would be epic, wouldn’t be easy though to chose a song, they have so many good ones.
James C Just realised you name checked 2 of their songs in your comment!!
Midlife crisis would be good. Doubt you could get your hands on the masters for Caffeine.
Dean Vaz glad someone picked it up
I’d love to hear the bass track in stripsearch soloed. Faith No More
*I think you would do a great analysis for "The Bed's Too Big Without You"!*
Police song
Jared Joneli the Police! Fantastic tune, give it a listen!
The best!
The Beato multi track system. 😎
But Andy Summers' guitar part was done in one take and totally makes this song. The chord progression is pretty staid. And great lyrics and vocals. Stewart was totally muted on this song, which is great for the song, but I'm a total Stewart Copeland fan.
My go to stalker tune
This is an EXCELLENT break down of the track - and the guide / dummy vocal is a surprise! THANKS !!!
Now I understand Andy Summer’s beef about not getting a writing credit for the song. $100 mil from radio play in the nineties alone?!?
About the song being in Ab: The original recording is actually out of tune, between Ab and A. I read (somewhere I can't find now) that Sting had recorded a part on a keyboard/piano that he wanted to use but the instrument was out of tune. So, he tuned the rest of the instruments to match. The Police play(ed) it live in A, which seems to be the original intended key.
So glad I found this channel!.. the virtuoso video led me here.
I've been a fan of the Police since about '79 or '80 and I never imagined I would get to see one of their tracks expanded from 16 colours into 16 million colours (so to speak). We'll never get to see footage from the studio or fully know the personal dynamic of the band when this was recorded but a deconstruction of the multitrack together with additional info in comments makes for wonderful viewing. Thank you so much for your expert ear and analysis Rick! (& others)
Subbed :)
this is a terrible lyric for domestic violence
I would love to hear your take on "So Lonely", such a great tune with a lot of good stuff going on.
absolutely! i love that song,
Where do you get the multitracks for all these classic songs?
I love when you treat us to the workings of a great song , Thank you Rick .
The scratch vocal lyrics are more interesting than the actual lyrics. But it would have been a lot less popular.
Wonder if Andy Summers realizes that his guitar part put together with his keyboard/synth/piano part sounds like music from heaven above... I can't describe the feelings that wakes in me.... Really, no words ;)
Same here...
Can you do Synchronicity II or Wrapped Around Your Finger?
That's what I'm screaming 😱 @Rick Beato
Can you do a "What Makes This Song Great" about Megadeth - Holy Wars...The Punishment Due?
Ducktapejesus have no idea how Mustaine is able to sing while playing the riffs in Holy Wars..
No
Seems it was a much more political song from those original lyrics.
Many lyrics start off like that....then things like, some lyrics sound crap when they are sung..or the writer has second thoughts....look for the line "DREAMS OF MINE MAY REIGN" in a song called GHOSTED by THE CRUE(a just released song)...the original lyric was DRAIN...i removed it as it was sung and i replaced it on the only take, whilst singing it...i wanted it to be a positive line...and REIGN mean't "my dreams took over" in a positive way rather than the DRAINED me...it nearly ended up RAIN..which equally could of work.
P.S. I have never sung or recorded a a song and released it before.
D.Parsons(Lyricist of GHOSTED by THE CRUE).
Last minute lyric changes. Hope this helps.
For the record, i write in the thousands. most lyrics can change anytime along their path to the studio. Like you, that original Sting lyric sounded interesting.
The fact that Sting had just had a very messy break up with Frances Tomelty the belfast actress is very revealing regarding the guide vocal ,"every Irish wake ,every bomb you make ,every grave you filled ,all the blood you spilled"....it's like an antidote to Invisible Sun.
Hi Rick, dig your videos. Could you do a breakdown of Bob Marley?
The beauty of it is that Sting gave up some songwriting profits to Stew and Andy to get creative control, so Sting's $100M got divided.
I think he was originally thinking about the IRA when he did the scratch track! The original 'Zombie' lol
Where do you get the individual studio tracks from those songs?
Technology
Bono.
Boz Scaggs. Lowdown please
Aaron Trudeau yesssss
Lido shuffle though
Watching your videos blows my mind! One of my fave songs of the 80s, which was hard won because I wasn't a Police fan but my sister was (because my sister was?). I don;t understand half of what you're explaining and it could all be bullshit but I doubt it and it makes the songs seem even more sensational!
This is a fantastic breakdown. What a fun exercise in music appreciation! Thank you so much for sharing your passion with us!
FWIW! This was the first demo Sting ever played for his bandmates. Jean Roussel was the arranger of this song. Andy Summers did not approve of Roussel's inclusion in the track. Summers also stated that Roussel must have played 12 keyboard parts on that song alone. In January 1981 Jean Roussel recorded the demo version of Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic with Sting at Le Studio in Morin Heights near Montreal.
They played all of the instruments, basses, guitars, synths, marimbas pianos , clavinets etc... & Sting sang.
The song was destined for Sting's first solo album.
Several months later Jean Roussel got a call in Montreal (where he was still living at the time) from Sting and Miles Copeland to fly ASAP to Monserrat, to re-record the title with Sting & the rest of The Police
They worked on the song for about a week. None of the versions recorded were anywhere as good as the demo...
The decision was taken to use the original demo. The version that is on the group's album, is the exact original demo which Sting & Jean Roussel recorded, with Stewart's drums added, replacing the drum machine used on the demo.... The other hit that Roussel was used for was his arrangement on Spirits in the Material world …. which would be another good song to break down.
It's not all a demo. It has Andy Summers' guitar part that was recorded in the studio with Hugh Padgham.
@@simianmoonstudios Indeed. That was added later.
Nicely handled! Amazing insight! I love seeing music dissected, revealed, and explained like this! Thank you for posting this one! Great way to handle the unruly punks by the way.
The scratch lyrics seem to me to not be nonsense. They quite clearly allude to the trouble in Northern Ireland at the time, probably a bit too embarrassingly direct. “Every bomb you make, every job you take, every Irish wake etc”
clumsiloe exactly. To me it sounds like somebody who is freaking pissed off for what was happening in North Ireland.
Strange that it went from that to a stalker/peeping Tom song.
David Browning I’ve always said it’s not a “stalker” song at all. I think he said it to sound clever and so it didn’t look like just another love song, which it sounds exactly like.
@@HARTYNMUGHES I've heard Sting say this song is absolutely about unhealthy obsession. It's supposed to be unsettling. It's always struck him as odd that it's such a popular wedding selection.
If ever an artist made a deal with devil.
The scratch lyrics are just haunting, instant chills and after 30 more years of hearing this song, this blows me away.
Every Bomb you make
Every job you take
Every heart you break
Every Irish wake
I’ll be watching you
Every war you build
Every one you’ve killed
Every grave you’ve filled
All the blood you’ve spilled
I’ll be watching you.
Plus Sting's vocal expression just makes this song so much more eerie. Thank you so, so much Rick for your breakdown. You are genius.
yeah i'm gonna disagree with rick's calling them nonsense lyrics, it's pretty clearly about (or at least referencing) the troubles and they also clearly aren't made up on the spot. would be quite a different song
@@boeing_opal absolutely about early 80s NI mate. Very telling Sean
Its about the military industrial complex
for pete's sake the comments... this is NOT a love song. It's a song about a dark and total obsession and control. It's no more a LOVE SONG than Murder by Numbers
In spite of the weird contraversy about this song and the eerie stalking idea in the lyric, this song is a great song and a monument to Sting's writing
Bump.
As a non-musician, can I just say that this song also sounds great sung in a minor key. Check the vids out. :)
Where did you find the multitrack? How can u find multitrack.of.eversong.
how about 80's era King Crimson? Discipline? Elephant Talk? Others?
Actually those scratch vocals are the alternate lyrics used for "Every Bomb You Make", a parody on the British TV show Spitting Image. Sting as a fan of the show re-recorded new lyrics over the original recording and that's what featured on the show. I guess you're lucky enough to have found the multitracks with both vocal parts.
Ah- that's very interesting- I made a comment up above about that.... good to hear an explanation! Thanks
Must have foreseen the age of Trump
Could you imagine if there was reboot of Spitting Image or DC Follies during this current political climate? The material just writes itself....
Beautiful!
A request: My kids are getting into Earth Wind & Fire's "September," and Stevie Wonder's "Sir Duke." Any chance you could tackle those? Thanks very much!
How do you get the multitracks?
The Police were the greatest 80s rock band!! No one else in the 80s really mattered (well maybe King Crimson, but even then, they've been around since 69').
For some reason the bass track reminded me of Stand By Me by Ben E. King.
Yes it does sound like Stand by Me. Surprised Rick didn't hear that.
Genesis Rick, please? Any era.
(Loved your Peter Gabriel WMtSG, sir. Gracias! :) )
No pro tools on 82'. You had to be able to play and play well tape doesn't lie and will bring out the best in a musician.
K, stupid question, I imagine: Why does someone get banned just for mentioning... you-know-who, he-who-was-banned???
I'd love to see some Kansas on here. And Styx
Hi Rick. I haven't watched the full video yet but I can assure you that in the final mix I can here both the bass tracks.
I theorised that they were 2 bass tracks for this song while trying to learn it on bass, one doing straight 8th notes and another one more rythmic. Glad to see that I was right !
You may be correct. I didn't want to check with the original because of blocking issues.
Both bass tracks are definitely in the mix.
I think this might be the perfect song. Whenever you can make a piece of art that can portray infinite meanings like this song and how it holds so much meaning for so many. Simple concept. Everyone can relate to this song. Someone who might be an angel, while this may bring you comfort.
