Lyrics:
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
There's a little black spot on the sun today
(That's my soul up there)
It's the same old thing as yesterday
(That's my soul up there)
There's a black hat caught in a high treetop
(That's my soul up there)
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop
(That's my soul up there)
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
(That's my soul up there)
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
(That's my soul up there)
There's a blue whale beached by a spring tide's ebb
(That's my soul up there)
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
(That's my soul up there)
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread
(King of pain)
There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
(That's my soul up there)
There's a black-winged gull with a broken back
(That's my soul up there)
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday

My beloved wife (37) is terminal cancer patient and my world is in absolute darkness right now. There's nothing that can ease the pain in my soul and heart, but some things help. This song is like a paddle that I lost while kayaking in the stormy ocean and I unexpectedly retrieved it
I'm sorry. Prayers to all of you.
Juan, I feel your pain man. I lost my wife of 47 years about 3 years ago. I go through a lot of Kleenex. I did not realize how much I loved her. I still miss her every day.
All I can offer is to look forward to seeing her again in Heaven. Remember the good times.
@@donberry6079 I dont know how to even express my condolence I truly cannot imagine and it shows how amazing of a person you must be to share that to help another person. It makes me very happy to see someone use the internet in a kind way it really makes me remember why I will become a Phy.Ed instuctor soon.
Sorry to hear this. Please look into anti-parasitic treatments like Fenbendazole.
God bless everyone sickness is so sick to our own beliefs and imagination that it sucks......to think we're VICTIMIZED and our love ones are short changed to living life it sucks..... Love 💕💕💕💕
This band is just straight up legendary
Definately. They make them like this anymore lol.
in my top3 favorite 80s bands with depeche mode and the cure
1:00 one of the most epic live instrument change in the whole history of music
Remember, Gary loves you!
"Don't be afraid john"
The anthem of French bakers. We salute you!

😀👍
Lyrically their best song, or maybe Wrapped Around Your Finger. And that’s saying something because they have so many well written songs. Sting is one of best songwriters ever, for my money actually the best.
The last six tracks of Synchronicity are all stellar.
The SIDE B of Synchronicity is still, in my opinion, the best run of songs musically and lyrically on any album.
He's a modern day troubador.
He’s adding his own background lyrics during the concert. Amazing.
Yea, because the vocals are also on a recorded backing track. As you can see they start before he even begins to sing into the mic.
King of pain here it doesn't stop it never gets better you grow stronger or you fall . Choose strength it's how I became King . I love you we are all in this together you are important .
No truer words
Andy summers legend guitar playing ❤
My dad got to see the Police in concert when he was young... I've grown up with this music and his stories. It never gets old!
I saw them in concert in 1981. Such a great memory.
@@eirene4235 y yo los fui a ver a the Police en concierto 26 años después en el año 2007 en la Arena Monterrey y me acuerdo que también fue a verlos el periodista Gregorio Martínez de Televisa Monterrey y se veía muy contento de cantar sus canciones junto con ellos el trío the Police son muy bonitos recuerdos qué quedaron grabados en mi memoria hace 16 años Bueno quise compartir esta historia y desde ahí en adelante me hice fan de Gregorio Martínez y por eso siempre veo su noticiero de las 9 de la noche de lunes a viernes por Televisa Monterrey que por cierto es un excelente periodista mi buen camarada Gregorio Martínez al que también admiro mucho junto con Sting Stewart Copeland y Andy Summers del trío de reggae de la Police bueno Hasta pronto amigos Bye bye chao chao
Forty years later, King Of Pain tells all how to deal with pain. This song's message will always appeal to all mankind!
Hands down.. My favorite Police song.
I'm a huge fan of The Police and Sting. This song has an emotional impact on me, especially after my grandmother passed away two years ago, I became severely depressed and I remember creating a playlist of sad songs, especially with or without you by U2. I could easily relate to this song's lyrics, as there were some mornings when I felt there was that little black spot on the sun. It also reflects on my strained relationship with my parents. So sometimes, when I listen I feel like sometimes I am the King of Pain. But after the song and no matter what my day is like, I feel weird then I feel happy knowing my parents and my friends love me, and I'll always remember my granny
Tom Prior interesting thanks for sharing
I suppose metaphor of the sunspots is abo it how its imperfections even with the sun. there will be good and bad pleasure and pain in life I suppose.It's all temporary
Sorry for your loss and the depression you went through, Tom.
I've always liked Sting and The Police since I was small. I have depressive episodes although can control them.
May the Blessed Virgin keep you safe in her Holy Mantle
me too!
Very sorry about your Grandmother. God Bless Her!
Their last album "SYNCHRONICITY " is my favorite one of the Police
Steward Copeland's drumming is so unique...
+TBYVGS BOS I agree; one of technically the best drummers ever. Subtle not overpowering yet his variations and creativity are amazing.And slick super smooth style.
TBYVGS BOS he’s brilliant. has a good channel up & very occasionally posts his music.
every drummer ive met all say that he was special, one of the best ever. so sophisticated.
it's like he has a separate brain for each limb!! best drummer in the world for me..
.....Badd as he wanna be!!🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵💖
this is probably my favourite police song, maybe their best, they were really good, 30 years later still as good as you can get
I watched the Police perform this song at the US Festival in San Bernardino in September 1982. We nicknamed it the "Dust Festival" because it so dry and hot and dusty. They performed this at night. Sting was wearing a yellow jacket and loose white pants. As he moved around the stage in the spotlight, he kicked up a cloud dust. I thought, "My God, this guy is one magnificent bastard."
This song was an important piece of my ecological conscious when I was an adolescent. I never watched this video before. Thank you The Police for all that you gave me. 😍😍😍😎😎
I remember hearing this song on my father’s AM radio in his 1980 ford fairmont sometime after it was released. I was 13 or 14. I had no idea who sang it but I knew I loved it. I didn’t get Synchronicity until a year or two later and when I heard it ai about fell over. I was a Police fan before I knew who they were.
Live concerts are always the best
“Hide the dope! It’s the cops!” - my high school friend every time they would come on the radio. 🤣
Good times.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stewart Copeland's attire in this concert was a short-sleeved shirt, shorts and barefooted.....coolness!.....One of the great drummers of all time!
Barefoot drumming would hurt.
Stingo looked a lot like Freddie Starr here. Totally love this song.
I am the king of pain. I fight the evil witches of the north. In the plains and in the hills and the darkest woods.
hello Faith fans!
It's cool when he sings off the mic, the man loves the music.
I am the king of pain and I 100% support this song.
I love this song. Such an unusual song. So memorable and poetic. I've had times when I am a little depressed and this song oddly cheers me up. I've not heard this performance of it before. It's different in a good way.
How can he sing this music so happy...?
Transforming such dark emotions into beautiful art, is cathartic.
@Nuqman Harinth: No, hes not lip syncing. Hes using a back track for a full chorus effect. You can still hear him sing the lead.
Brilliant
something seems off in the opening....
Yeh he missed his cue and knows he got caught out - "What...?"
Hey that’s what I thought. I guess I thought correct. I know he did this all the time.
There was a time in my life when this
song hit a nerve. Fortunately, those
times in life pass, and then you can
sing "Rehumanize Yourself" :-)
Good choice :)
This is the most poetic song I know. I bet nobody here knows exactly what it means.
I think it takes an ironic look at human emotion.
@@hpatss4966 Sting wrote it when he divorced his wife. It's about depression and at least 20% of us have been there.
The suffering in everyday existence
Always love the police music
I love this song so much❤️❤️
Hi I Recommend a song Called 'The Bond Villain' By Robert Nix
One of my first favorite bands.
273 haters disagreed like total morons--To me @Paladin Allama, they're my favorite band of all-time!
I love this song ,my 12th grade English teacher recited these lyrics for an essay assignment I read this song resembling a poem.sting really is a composer genius & the police band members are among the most accomplished musicians of the 70's 80's 90's music genre!🎼🎹
the police is a phenomenal band and sting is one of the world musician who give all his integrity in to music and arts ... their song and lyrics always give us like a mirror of a specific decade of human civilization.
This is the best version of any song I have watched on UA-cam! Sting shows his full personality and yes you are Mr Cool, Mr Sumner!
Sting is a brilliant and highly underrated lyricist
Underrated by whom? He's universally regarded as one of the best singer-songwriters ever.
Classic. Used to listen all his music.never a miss...
beautiful memories of my youth
3 genius. Lovely band. I listen to them again. Miss you Steward Copeland and Andy Summers ♥️🎼🎶🎶👌👌😽😽💋💋
The Police AKA Sting pleasure meeting you and band in Memphis. Thanks Kindly!
King of Pain.
Every day is the same old thing as yesterday as If I'm going in circles and I'm 25. Jesus is this what life is supposed to be? Was it like this in the 80s and 90s if you were growing up in that era?
wiisalute the eighties were filled with great music and they were the best for me! Live clean, be thankful and praise the Lord and that's a good start young one! God bless you!
No matter the decade, there are always challenges and circumstances that create great emotional pain for human beings. This song captures that well and is a work of art. Sting's BEST lyric.
@@dak1116 I'm living in Groundhog Day
Update: I am now 28 and recently started facing certain challenges and fears throughout my life. My social skills have gotten better, made a network of friends and now officially moving out!
king of king of pain!!
I love this version!!
When the camera turned to background singers and the shooting camera, this video is so much more than a simple live video. They/we are at the moment, but also not at the moment. I feel sad after seeing it
Thanks for posting this timeless classic that's light years better than most stuff today. Pretty cool too that the boys from over the pond paid homage to the USA. Class Act!
This song is in a repeat mode in my phone :) It's very good to listen + the singer is such a cutie at his time!
King of bread
Think of what he said
This song is the soundtrack of my comic book collecting journey.Back in 1983.
Such a great song with such clever lyrics long live The Police !
This version is better than the original. The modification of the riff cadence is beautiful, and the voicing of the synth is perfect.
So much better! This is the version I hear in my head, harmonically so much more dense and yummy!
Couldn’t agree more my friend… so much better than the album version.
I think the Atlanta version is better. The Omni acoustics makes a fuller sound.
Oh I grew up with these songs. What a wonderful time it was. Great times.
This was the first album I ever bought. I wrote out all of the lyrics in my school notebook. What an amazing band
I used to do the same. One day I started writing my own. I kept going until I was all spent. That was 1995. Now you listen to me every day.
Stewart's band was indeed the best ever!
Gracias "police" por abrir mi mente y mi corazon
si tienes razon
I am that, I am.
For 3 3 days say nothing. Every different person you see, say out loud but softly, I am that , I am.
The molecule in them is the molecule in you.
Classic music....
que mejor q escuchar viejos temas de está gran banda ...un icono de los 80s !!!!
I love you POLICE .
imagine being there
Con mis 39 años y escuvhando todas estas tremendas bandas de los 80 y 90 no es de extrañar qué mi hija de 15 años sea fanatica de este grupo....GRACIAS
KING OF PAIN 👍 GREAT TRACK 👍
¡Fascinante! Una pieza exquisita. The Police.
I love Andy's dancing while playing. It adds energy to the song.
It's Dec 31st 2023 night,
Tomorrow is New year.🙂
1:00 that's some Cirque du Soleil shit!
Sting casually dishing out the jokes at the start "This song is called King Of Pain or in English King Of Bread"
They must be playing in France lol
Yeahhh dude probably, I love the Layne Staley picture too, he was a god!
AIC are me and my exes favourite band but I can't listen to them much atm cos they just remind me of her
It's all a psychological thing dude I've felt kinda like that before but you'll get over it just power through!
+Ross McDermott Hey Ross, whites right matey, we have all been there, its true tho, over time you will and can blast the tunes out again, you may well think of her but it wont hurt anymore, all the best guys, keep rocking
Hello from Brasil , We love The Police!
Saw The Police at The Hammersmith Odeon ....amazing !
...It's the same old thing as yesterday...
Wendell Carvalho how are you verified with 6 subs
@@dannyb6649 i thought so too
My very hymn...
Backing vocal singing !!!!
Greetings from CHILE.
wena chileno :,)
"There's a little black spot on the song today.....It's the same old thing as yesterday...(it's my soul up there)"....The Synchronicity Concert is the best concert of The Police...IMHO
This is the anthem of every ordinary man whose facing a tough life in this world
Everytime I hear "Someone that I used to know" from Gotye, I think of this song. They are both great compositions.
SOOOOO THANKFULL FOR UA-cam!!MY MUSICAL TIME WARP!!!LOL I WANT MY YOU TUBE!!YOU CAN KEEP YOUR mtv.
As critically acclaimed as the Police are, they still seem underrated.
The troubadors of their time.
Love how he really is
this is also the version i heard during a concert i went to. i always wondered why he never sang as high as in the album.
I always be king of pain... Forever
Great Police great Sting
There´s a canned vocal running underneath, but he effortlessly matches, even improves upon it live... True musicianship, he is a genius in so many ways
Hi I recommend a song called 'The Bond Villain' By Robert Nix
1:00 "next time place the xylo a bit closer to the drum set, will you?"
que temazo por dios,cuanta nostalgia!
In my top three favorite Police songs
If I could have been born at that time rather than in 1997….
Que increible canción, aguante The Police!!
las buenas canciones nunca mueren
Another top tune, with some sweet riff licks.
omg this song was played when we visited star wars huts in Tunisia 😄 old song but good times !!
Gracias por tan buena música. Emocionada con cada canción, ésta banda es muy importante.
Excelente banda ótima música perfeita saudades dessa época 1983 eu tinha 13 anos de idade saudades dessa época que não volta mais
This is live youngsters
I really love this one.But why this song is so beautiful, because of it`s simplicity.
king of pain me encanta
Sting it's not doing playback, he have put a voice track to do a double-track voice.
Sorry for my bad english.
That explains everything! Thank youuu so much! And now i am hearing there are two voices. Thank youuu

Lazy days by the pool, Bain de Soleil suntan lotion filled the air as the mixture of sun and chlorine soaked our skin. A bottle of Sun-In for those unmistakable orange highlights (haha), all to prep for our Saturday night party rounds and an appointment with Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill and Budweisers and maybe a little smoke. Growin' up in small town America in the 80s....#thebest
awesome guitar
