Every Breath You Take by The Police: Guitar, Bass & Songwriting Insights

"Every Breath You Take" by The Police, released in 1983, features a distinctive guitar riff played by Andy Summers using a chorus effect. Sting's bassline drives the song, played on a Fender Precision Bass. The track's haunting atmosphere is enhanced by Stewart Copeland's use of hi-hats and a snare drum played with brushes. The song's lyrics, often mistaken for a love song, actually convey a darker, possessive tone.
