When Sting says "Just like that old man in that book by Nabokov" he's talking about the character Humbert Humbert from Vladimir Nabokov's classic novel "Lolita." Something you should definitely listen to by the Police is "Driven To Tears" followed by "When The World Is Running Down, You Make The Best Of What's Still Around." The two songs are meant to go together and they sound great.

I first heard them as a 6th grader in 1981, thanks to the indie college radio station in my town. They had a lot of great songs in the "ska" style: "Hands Off, She's Mine", "Save It for Later", "I Confess", "Mirror in the Bathroom", "Too Nice to Talk To", "Twist And Crawl", among others.

It was their first hit here, in 1979.

One of my favourites is Sting’s They Dance Alone. The song is a metaphor referring to mourning Chilean women (arpilleristas) who dance the Cueca, the national dance of Chile, alone with photographs of their disappeared loved ones in their hands. Sting explained his song as a symbolic gesture of protest against the Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet whose regime killed thousands of people between 1973 and 1990. This song was recorded in both English (with some spoken Spanish words by the Panamanian salsa singer, Rubén Blades) and Spanish (with additional lyrics by Roberto Livi). This latter version was titled "Ellas Danzan Solas" and was released on the 1988 EP Nada como el sol.
