No, I didn’t know the tune either, but apparently ‘When the World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What’s Still Around’ is one of the Police’s best loved songs. It first featured on their 1980 ‘Zenyatta Mondatta’ album and it’s since become something of a “thing” for fans of the Sting-led trio!
It’s clearly a “thing” for French muso CHRISTOPHE GOZE who’s chosen to cover it for his latest single release. Monsieur Goze is known as a brand leader in the world of European chill out and lounge music, but for this one he cranks things up to create a pacey, jazzy version of ‘When the World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What’s Still Around’
He says: ”I’ve taken the original’s rhythmic drive and copied the repetitive guitar chord progression and infused it with smooth, jazzy elements. The result is a version that maintains the essence of the song while introducing a fresh, sophisticated twist”. This one wins release on June 17th – learn more @ https://www.christophegoze.com/
