The Police - "Synchronicity II"
from the album Synchronicity (1983)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #16 (four weeks)
Weeks in the Top-40: 9

Today's Song of the Day is the third single and one of two "title tracks" of the new-wave group The Police's biggest and final studio album. After conquering the mainstream with their first hit "Every Breath You Take", which topped the pop chart for two months, and the follow-up "King Of Pain", which made the top-3, made them kings of the rock world in 1983. "Synchronicity II", written by Sting named for a concept of sociologist Carl Jung, belied its title by describing a completely dysfunctional family and the life they lead, just like the album title hid the internal strife the soon-to-be-broken-up band was going through, recording their parts in different rooms...
