dbpprop:abstract
  • "Invisible Sun" is a hit single by rock group The Police, released in 1981. The song is about the tensions in Northern Ireland. It was the first single to be released in the United Kingdom from the album Ghost in the Machine and it reached number 2 in the charts. In all other territories, "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" was chosen as the lead single from the LP. Due to the subject of the song, Bono from rock group U2 performed duets of it with Sting when U2 and The Police appeared at the same concerts: the first such instance was in 1982 at a festival in Gateshead, England, and two subsequent instances occurred at the last two shows of Amnesty International's A Conspiracy of Hope Tour in 1986. The song is a departure from Police songs before it; "Invisible Sun" contains a dark, looping synthesizer beat, and powerful, haunting lyrics. Among other things, the lyrics refer to the ArmaLite rifle used by paramilitary organizations, but mainly by the Provisional Irish Republican Army. The music video for "Invisible Sun" features a collection of video clips taken from the conflict in Northern Ireland. Due to its subject matter, it was banned by the BBC. Northern Irish rock band Therapy? recorded a cover of the song in 1993 while the Swedish progressive death metal act Edge of Sanity covered the song on their 1995 LP Until Eternity Ends. Champaign, IL band Hum covered the song in concert on more than one occasion. Sting collaborated with Aswad on a reggae version of this song for the X-Files in 1998.
  • Invisible Sun est une chanson du groupe The Police paru sur l'album Ghost in the Machine en 1981. Il est paru en premier single de l'album uniquement au Royaume-Uni et connaît un succès en se classant deuxième des Charts. Pour certains pays, le premier single extrait de Ghost in the Machine fut Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, qui connaîtra lui aussi un succès commercial la même année. Invisible Sun fait référence à l'Armalite, utilisé par des organisations paramilitaires, mais Sting, l'auteur du titre, se réfère principalement sur les événements d'Irlande du Nord. Le clip d'Invisible Sun montre des images tournées au moment du conflit qui se déroule en Irlande du Nord. Mais la B.B.C. le bannit en raison de son sujet.
  • Invisible Sun è il primo singolo estratto da Ghost in the Machine, il quarto album del gruppo musicale britannico The Police.
