"The Bed's Too Big Without You" is a song by English rock band The Police, released as the final single from their second studio album ''Reggatta de Blanc'' (1979). It was written by lead vocalist and bassist Sting. An alternate version was released as a single in the UK in 1980 in the set ''Six Pack'' in conjunction with the re-release of the Police's earlier singles "Roxanne", "Can't Stand Losing You", "So Lonely", "Message in a Bottle" and "Walking on the Moon". It has been covered by a number of other artists, including Sting as a solo artist, Ranking Roger and Sheila Hylton.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.allmusic.com/search/all/the%20bed's%20too%20big%20without%20you )〕 ==Background== The themes of the song are loneliness and the pain of the end of a relationship. The lyrics were inspired by an incident in which Sting's first girlfriend, after being heartbroken upon their break-up, committed suicide. ''NME'' critic Tony Stewart considered it to be "a lame expression of remorse".〔 "The Bed's Too Big Without You" was first released on ''Reggatta de Blanc'' in 1979. However, that following year, the song saw single release as a bonus single in the ''Six Pack'' box set, which featured the band's five previous British singles (excluding "Fall Out".) Said box set peaked at no. 17 in Britain. The song was also released as the B-side to "So Lonely" in Germany. A promo video for "The Bed's Too Big Without You" was performed by the band on ''The Kenny Everett Video Show''. It featured the band members miming to the song in a suburban house. "The Bed's Too Big Without You" was included on a number of Police compilation and live albums. The original album version was included on ''Greatest Hits'' and the UK deluxe version of ''The Police'', while the alternate mono version was included on ''Message in a Box: The Complete Recordings''.〔 A live version is included on ''Live!''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Bed's Too Big Without You」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
