Sting reworked an old Police tune making it jazzier. This jazzed-up version seemingly puts the listener on Bourbon Street the morning after Mardi Gras. The character is out of control and ignores his doctor's warnings about delusional behavior. For his part, the protagonist doesn't care and just dances with his shadows in the rain.
Sting hired world class musicians to play on his first solo record, Dream of the Blue Turtles. Branford Marsalis played the sax and Darryl Jones of the Rolling Stones is on bass.
It also has one of my favorite lines:
"I woke up in my clothes again this morning
I don't know exactly where I am"
