Sting – Love Is The Seventh Wave (New Mix) (UK 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

NEW 2021 Transfer!

Originally posted, February 16, 2012

“Love Is the Seventh Wave” was the second single and second track from Sting’s 1985 solo debut album The Dream of the Blue Turtles. The song is supposedly about love being the seventh wave or the strongest wave in a series of waves, thus wiping out any sort of problems. It concludes with a brief, self-mocking reference to Sting’s biggest hit song with The Police, “Every Breath You Take”, which had been about the dark side of love that leads to sexual jealousy and obsession.

The single contained a different mix of the song than the album mix, as well as a live version of “Consider Me Gone.”

“Love Is The Seventh Wave” debuted in the US Billboard Top 40 on November 23, 1985. The song remained in the top 40 for seventeen weeks peaking at #9.
