A defining single from Reggatta de Blanc, “Message in a Bottle” captures The Police’s unique blend of rock, reggae, and new wave. Driven by Andy Summers’ shimmering guitar riffs and Sting’s emotive vocals, the song tells a story of isolation and hope through the metaphor of a message cast out to sea. Its infectious rhythm and poignant lyrics helped it become one of the band’s most enduring classics.
