Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
"Invisible Sun", a song about The Troubles, is arguably their most potent politically-minded song.
"Every Breath You Take." Fittingly for a song about a stalker, it has an incredibly haunting tune, and is especially potent for anyone who's ever gone through a bad break-up.
"Message in a Bottle" is a catchy song about a castaway on an island, who hopes to find love. A year later, after no response, he despairs — thinking that he's destined to be alone. He then sees "a hundred billion bottles" on the shore, and realizes that there are more people like him.
"Don't Stand So Close To Me '86" is already quite melancholy because of the subdued arrangement, but the music video makes things even worse. On top of numerous flashes back to their Glory Days as a live band, the band never appears in the same shot, representing how much their relationship had deteriorated.
