Music Appreciation
I'll start with the music video because I recall being mesmerized by "Wrapped Around Your Finger," particularly the captivating candles and the man with blonde hair prancing around the maze. Directed by Kevin Godley and Lol Creme, the video features Sting navigating a labyrinth of towering candle-filled candelabras, creating a striking visual representation of the song's themes of manipulation and power.
Written by Sting, "Wrapped Around Your Finger" is from The Police's fifth and final studio album, Synchronicity, released on July 8, 1983, in the UK. Sting described it as "a spiteful song about turning the tables on someone who had been in charge." He added, "This song is vaguely alchemical and probably about a friend of mine, a professional psychic and my tutor in tarot, with bits of Doctor Faustus and The Sorcerer's Apprentice thrown into the pot for good measure."
