Every Breath You Take

스팅을 상징하는 명곡

1 개요

영국의 록밴드 폴리스의 싱글. 흔히 뉴웨이브 하면 떠오르는 곡이다. 1983년 빌보드 연말 차트에서 마이클 잭슨의 Billie Jean을 제치고 1위를 차지하는 기염을 토한 곡이다. 롤링 스톤 선정 500대 명곡에서 84위를 차지했다. 스팅이 파경을 맞이할 즈음에 쓴 곡인지라 매우 병적인 가사로 점철되어 있다.

대부분 이 인트로만 들어도 무슨 노래인 지 알 정도로 인트로 부분 기타 소리가 매우 인상적이며, 후렴구 가사가 심플하고 다른 가사도 딱딱 들어맞는 라임으로 유명하기도 하다.

1.1 가사

Every breath you take

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

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you

Oh can't you see
You belong to me
My poor heart aches
With every step you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

Since you've gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby, please

Oh can't you see
You belong to me
My poor heart aches
With every step you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

Every move you make
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
(Every breath you take, every move you make, every bond you break, every step you take)
I'll be watching you
(Every single day, every word you say, every game you play, every night you stay)
I'll be watching you
(Every move you make, every vow you break, every smile you fake, every claim you stake)
I'll be watching you
(Every single day, every word you say, every game you play, every night you stay)
I'll be watching you
(Every breath you take, every move you make, every bond you break, every step you take)
I'll be watching you
(Every single day, every word you say, every game you play, every night you stay)
I'll be watching you
