"Walking in Your Footsteps" is one of Sting's songs on Synchronicity, the 1983 album the Police produced with Hugh Padgham, who also engineered it. It's one of the record's strangest corners, a hushed, hypnotic crawl where Stewart Copeland's drums stalk through the space, Andy Summers' guitar hangs back in the shadows and Sting's bass and voice carry the tune, spare and a little eerie.
