Disturbing lyrics.

I had turned on the top 40 station in my town this morning and listened to a few songs before realizing it had changed formats into a Soft Rock station, but I kept listening anyways, up through the Police's "Every Breath You Take", which disturbed me with its lyrics:

Every move you make
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

Is that song supposed to be romantic, or disturbing? I'm just not sure. It's almost like a stalker.

On another note, I love Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie".

Disturbing.

Did you find it disturbing at the time? Do you think the Police intended it to be disturbing, or romantic, and if romantic, does that make it all the more disturbing?

Yes, it is a stalker song. But it doesn't sound like one, does it? "Hips Don't Lie" is great, no question. The first time I saw her perform it was live on American Idol. It was mesmerizing. But I never saw another live performance of it that captivated me again. I wonder if it was because it was the first one I saw or because it was really good.

the background instrumentals of "Hips Don't Lie" remind me of this other new song out now with this really great saxophone line, but I can never remember the name of the song or the artist, saddly.

Was it that enur song? Was that why you sent the Youtube link for it?

Yes - it was "Calabria", by Enur. I do like both songs.
