Although Outlandos d'Amour received mixed reviews upon its release, it has since been regarded as one of the strongest debut albums. Rolling Stone ranked it as the 38th best debut album of all time and the 428th greatest album of all time.
Background and recording
With a budget of £1,500 borrowed from their manager, Miles Copeland (brother of drummer Stewart), the Police recorded Outlandos d'Amour at Surrey Sound Studios in an intermittent fashion over six months, with the band recording whenever the studio had free time or another band's sessions were cancelled. Miles Copeland had promised to pay Surrey Sound £2,000 upon completion of the recording, but did not give them the full amount until much later.
Miles occasionally visited the studio during recording, and he reacted to what he heard from the band with vehement derision. However, upon hearing "Roxanne" he had the opposite reaction and took the recording to A&M Records the following day, where he persuaded the record label to release it as a one-off single. Although the single failed to chart, A&M agreed to give the band a second chance with "Can't Stand Losing You". At first, A&M proposed the band create an improved mix of the song, but after five attempts admitted that it could not improve upon the band's mix, and released the original mix for the single. When it became the band's first hit, the label quickly approved the release of the by-then finished album.
Music and lyrics
Outlandos d'Amour, while at times incorporating reggae, pop and other elements of what would eventually become the band's definitive sound, is dominated by punk influences. This is evident on the opening track "Next to You", despite it essentially being a love song. Stewart Copeland and guitarist Andy Summers initially felt the lyrics were neither aggressive nor political enough for their style at the time, but bassist and vocalist Sting was adamant about keeping the song as it was. "Next to You" includes a slide guitar solo by Summers, which Copeland initially dismissed as "old wave".
The second track is the reggae-influenced "So Lonely". Sting has said he used Bob Marley's "No Woman, No Cry" as the musical basis for the song, while the lyrics in its verses were recycled from "Fool in Love", a song he originally wrote for his earlier band Last Exit. The song itself, about someone who is lonely after suffering a broken heart, was seen as ironic by a large segment of the band's listeners. Sting disagreed with this sentiment, saying, "No, there's no irony whatsoever. From the outside it might look a bit strange, being surrounded by all this attention and yet experiencing the worst lonely feeling ... but I do. And then suddenly the attention is withdrawn a half an hour later. You're so isolated ..."
"Roxanne" was written by Sting after visiting a red-light district near the band's hotel in Paris. The Police had been staying there in October 1977 to perform at the nearby Nashville Club. The song's title comes from the name of the character in the play Cyrano de Bergerac, an old poster of which was hanging in the hotel foyer. Sting had originally conceived the song as a bossa nova, although Stewart Copeland has been credited for suggesting its final rhythmic form as a tango. During recording, Sting accidentally sat down on a piano keyboard in the studio, resulting in the atonal chord and laughter preserved at the beginning of the track. The Police were initially reluctant about the song, but Miles Copeland was immediately enthusiastic after hearing it.
The remaining two tracks on the first side of the album are "Hole in My Life", another reggae-influenced song by Sting, and "Peanuts", a composition written by Stewart Copeland and Sting about Rod Stewart. The lyrics were meant as an expression of disappointment on Sting's part towards his former idol, of whom he said: "I used to be a great fan of his but something happened to him. I hope I don't end up like that." Having since experienced the celebrity lifestyle himself, he has said he no longer identifies with the song's lyrical content and has come to view Stewart in a different light.
"Can't Stand Losing You" begins side two of the original LP. Written and composed by Sting, the song is about a young lover being driven to suicide following a breakup. In a 1993 interview with The Independent, he described the lyrics as "juvenile", saying that "teenage suicide ... is always a bit of a joke"; he also claimed to have written the lyrics in only five minutes.
The following track, "Truth Hits Everybody", is a punk-influenced song. After that is "Born in the 50's", which details life as a teenager during the 1960s. "Be My Girl—Sally" is a medley of a half-finished song by Sting and an Andy Summers poem about a blow-up doll. This leads into the semi-instrumental closer, "Masoko Tanga", the only song on the album to not become a staple of the band's live performances.
Two other songs from these sessions were excluded from Outlandos d'Amour but released as B-sides for two of its singles: "Dead-End Job", a song credited to Sting and Copeland, on the B-side of "Can't Stand Losing You"; and "No Time This Time" by Sting, on the B-side of "So Lonely". The latter was subsequently included on the band's second album Reggatta de Blanc.

Monte Castelo - Legião Urbana
Ainda que eu falasse
A língua dos homens
E falasse a língua dos anjos
Sem amor eu nada seria
É só o amor! É só o amor
Que conhece o que é verdade
O amor é bom, não quer o mal
Não sente inveja ou se envaidece
O amor é o fogo que arde sem se ver
É ferida que dói e não se sente
É um contentamento descontente
É dor que desatina sem doer
Ainda que eu falasse
A língua dos homens
E falasse a língua dos anjos
Sem amor eu nada seria
É um não querer mais que bem querer
É solitário andar por entre a gente
É um não contentar-se de contente
É cuidar que se ganha em se perder
É um estar-se preso por vontade
É servir a quem vence, o vencedor
É um ter com quem nos mata a lealdade
Tão contrário a si é o mesmo amor
Estou acordado e todos dormem
Todos dormem, todos dormem
Agora vejo em parte
Mas então veremos face a face
É só o amor! É só o amor
Que conhece o que é verdade
Ainda que eu falasse
A língua dos homens
E falasse a língua dos anjos
Sem amor eu nada seria

Será - Legião Urbana
Tire suas mãos de mim
Eu não pertenço a você
Não é me dominando assim
Que você vai me entender
Eu posso estar sozinho
Mas eu sei muito bem aonde estou
Você pode até duvidar
Acho que isso não é amor
Será só imaginação?
Será que nada vai acontecer?
Será que é tudo isso em vão?
Será que vamos conseguir vencer?
Nos perderemos entre monstros
Da nossa própria criação
Serão noites inteiras
Talvez com medo da escuridão
Ficaremos acordados
Imaginando alguma solução
Pra que esse nosso egoísmo
Não destrua o nosso coração
Será só imaginação?
Será que nada vai acontecer?
Será que é tudo isso em vão?
Será que vamos conseguir vencer?
Brigar pra quê, se é sem querer?
Quem é que vai nos proteger?
Será que vamos ter de responder
Pelos erros a mais, eu e você?
James "Midge" Ure (Cambuslang, 10 October 1953) is a Scottish musician, singer-songwriter and record producer. His stage name, Midge, is a phonetic reversal of Jim, the diminutive form of his actual name. Ure enjoyed particular success in the 1970s and 1980s in bands including Slik, Thin Lizzy, Rich Kids and Visage, and as the second frontman of Ultravox. In 1984, he co-wrote and produced the charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas?", which has sold 3.7 million copies in the UK. The song is the second-highest-selling single in UK chart history. Ure co-organised Band Aid, Live Aid and Live 8 with Bob Geldof. He acts as a trustee for the charity and also serves as an ambassador for Save the Children.
Ure is the producer and writer of several other synth-pop and new wave hit singles of the 1980s, including "Fade to Grey" (1980) by Visage and the Ultravox signature songs "Vienna" (1980) and "Dancing with Tears in My Eyes" (1984). He achieved his first UK top 10 solo hit in 1982 with "No Regrets". In 1985, his solo debut studio album The Gift reached number two in the UK Albums Chart and yielded the UK Singles Chart number-one single "If I Was". He also co-wrote Phil Lynott's "Yellow Pearl", which served as the theme of Top of the Pops for much of the 1980s.

Vienna - Ultravox
We walked in the cold air
Freezing breath on the window pain
Lying waiting
A man in the dark in the picture frame
So mystic and soulful.
A voice reaching out and a piercing cry
It stays with you until
The feeling is gone
only you and I
This means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh Vienna
The music is weaving
Haunting notes pizzicato strings
The rhythm is calling
Alone in the night as the daylight brings a cold empty silence
The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky
It fades to the distance
The image is gone
only you and I
This means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh Vienna
This means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh Vienna

Lindsey Adams Buckingham (Palo Alto, 3 de outubro de 1949) é um cantor, compositor, guitarrista e produtor musical americano, mais conhecido por ter sido um dos integrantes da banda Fleetwood Mac de 1974 a 1987 e de 1997 a 2018. Fora seu trabalho com o grupo, o músico lançou seis álbuns solo inédito e três registos ao vivo. Como membro dos Fleetwood Mac, foi inserido no Hall da Fama do Rock and Roll em 1998. Foi considerado o 100º melhor guitarrista de todos os tempos pela revista norte-americana Rolling Stone.
Com Lindsey, os Fleetwood Mac tiveram o seu período de maior sucesso, após a transição de banda de blues nos anos 60 até o som pop rock que gerou o álbum Fleetwood Mac (1975), projeto que marcou a sua estreia. A sua participação e influência no grupo se tornou dominante a medida que o sucesso cresceu, estando responsável por parte da composições, arranjos e produção musical de álbuns como Rumours (1977), Tusk (1979) e Mirage (1982), os quais venderam, juntos, mais de 40 milhões de cópias no mundo. Em 1987, logo após gravar o álbum Tango in the Night, o cantor decidiu deixar a banda, retornando apenas em 1997 para o projeto ao vivo The Dance. Buckingham ainda permaneceu no grupo por mais 21 anos, gravando projetos de estúdio e ao vivo, até ser demitido em 2018. Em 2019, o cantor passou por uma cirurgia de emergência por problemas cardíacos.
Buckingham was in the same high school as Stevie Nicks but a year behind her. He started a relationship with Nicks after the breakup of their band Fritz. He then suffered from a bout of mononucleosis, which delayed their move to Los Angeles in 1971. They recorded a studio album together before joining Fleetwood Mac in 1975, while their relationship had broken down by 1977. The breakup was chronicled in a number of songs written by the two, such as "Silver Springs" and "Dreams" by Nicks and "Go Your Own Way" and "Second Hand News" by Buckingham.
Buckingham had his first child, William Gregory, with Kristen Messner on July 8, 1998. Buckingham then married Messner in 2000, and they had two daughters, Leelee in 2000 and Stella in 2004. Buckingham and Messner, who is a photographer and interior designer, have developed homes in Brentwood, Los Angeles, California.
Buckingham underwent emergency open heart surgery in February 2019. His wife Kristen said that "the life-saving procedure caused vocal cord damage, the permanency of which is unclear." He eventually yet slowly recovered at home.
