Just a cast away an island lost at sea-o
Another lonely day, no one here but me-o
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair-o

I've always liked this song
I thought this was Bruno Mars?? Ok, just kidding....
@hitequila - hopefully something more positive than the 1 guy who had his message in a bottle answered by an irate jerk who sent him a reply about how he was polluting the oceans, etc. :-P
I wonder if anyone got it??? And who did??? What did the " finder" do about my sos-message? ? ? ? ? ?
I honestly DID send out a message in a Coke plastic bottle in the ocean while i was on a boat in Maui in 2005.....
Great song!!

He has such a unique voice. It's great!
@crunchtheal l i g a t o r -- It's a metaphor. The singer is lonely so he likens himself to being a castaway sending out an 'SOS.' Then he later realizes that there are tons of other people who more or less feel the same way.
Great little tune. What about Stewart's drumming and Andy's angular guitar riff?
Hundred billion bottles? Everyone on the face of the earth is stranded on a desert island?
Ok
Sting is a terrific singer
Awesome band/song!!! ! ! ! ! '

This song is so chill , i almost wish i could enjoy it completely

Geez, I was born too late. I love the Police.
I finnaly found this song on pandora :,)
This is worth getting bookmarked
I sent this one to people that was hurt by Sandy U have my prayer
The final one minute: sending out an SOS (repeat indefinitely )
A year has passed since I broke my nose

paradeofrose s 1
they didn't use this on Cast Away w/ Tom Hanks, Why???!!! 9.1/10
Great song! I'm sending out an APB: Hands up where I can see them! This is The Police! My message in a bottle would read: Don't Drink, Text and Drive Idiots! Clever me! ; )
classic!
Inventive! You hear that intro & you KNOW who the band is (unlike bands today who basically put out lower quality work that'll get 'em on the radio b/c it sounds like such-&-such who already had a hit.). Thank you Andy & your jazz chords!
@ christgau80s : haha Mother IS a really awkward song. What the hell was Andy doing?

whoooo!!!!!! ! ! This song has been my favorite song since i was 10 and that was in 2008.
Three lead instruments
Best song they made!
eevee0424
I love singing this song on ROCKBAND!!! yeahh!!!!
Mother from Synchronicit y , but that's about it.
trying to think of Police song i don't like, move to - can not.
Personally, I like this song, I don't think it's their best, but it's good. Their best is probably Roxanne or Every Breath You Take. Sting does a great job for all the bass lines.
Great song. Probably the best by the Police.
My favorite Police song for sure.
