Here is the last song from The Police that I’ll post, at least for a while. It is “I Can’t Stand Losing You” from Outlandos d’Amour.
Nothing captures the essence of popular music more than adolescent whining about suicide—though later incarnations of the theme are more disturbing, like Metallica’s “Fade to Black” and, more recently, Blink 182’s “Adam’s Song.” Though, is anything as creepy as “The End” by The Doors?
