"Message in a Bottle" is a 1979 song by The Police, from their second album, "Reggatta de Blanc". This song is about a guy stranded on a remote island. One day he finds a bottle, puts a message in it and throws it out to sea in hopes that someone will find it and come save him. The lyrics can be seen as a metaphor for being lonely and realizing there are lots of people just like you.
Sting (from 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh): "I think the lyrics are subtle and well crafted enough to hit people on a different level from something you just sing along to. It's quite a cleverly put together metaphor. It develops and has an artistic shape to it." Guitarist Andy Summers said it was the best track he ever played on.
