It took a few listens for me to realize how creepy Every Breath You Take is.
A lot of older songs are super creepy by our modern standards.
That one was made to be creepy. Sting (who wrote it) once said to the BBC that “the song is very, very sinister and ugly. And people have actually misinterpreted it as being a gentle little love song, when it’s quite the opposite.” and that “I didn’t realise at the time how sinister it is. I think I was thinking of Big Brother, of surveillance and control.”
Have some fun with The Beatles' "Run For Your Life" … https://genius.com/The-beatles-run-for-your-life-lyrics 😱
