In this podcast, we dive into the story behind one of The Police's most iconic songs, 'Walking On The Moon'. The tale starts with a chance encounter between Sting and a composer friend in Munich. After a day of work, the two decided to explore the local nightlife and hit up a few bars. It's during this excursion that Sting has an epiphany - the sensation of walking on the moon could be a powerful metaphor for the feeling of being in love. Back in London, the band begins working on the song and experimenting with various sounds and instruments, including a Moog synthesizer. Finally, the track is complete and released as the second single from their album 'Reggatta de Blanc'. Join us as we explore the creative process behind this timeless hit and the impact it had on the music industry.
