His name is Cheb Mami. He sings in Algerian Arabic. He literally takes this song to another level of brilliance. He and Sting performed together at the Grammys in 2000. His voice is magical.

@connorwatson6766 10 месяцев назад

Sting had finished his parts of the song but something was missing. His version was sent to Cheb Mami. Cheb Mami doesn't speak English at all, so he wrote his own lyrics that went with the song. Sting doesn't speak Arabic at all. When they met for the first time, Sting asked Cheb Mami, through a translator, what he sang about. He said 'I sing about longing'. Sting was blown away, because that's exactly what his lyrics were about. It's a song about longing for romantic love as an analog for the love of God. They both wrote lyrics about the same thing, without understanding the other's lyrics, because that's what they both felt from the music. This is a perfect song.

@Pulsar77 Год назад

Absolutely. He was once asked to make a Christmas album, and he said "Hell no, I'm not going to do that. But I will make a winter album". And that became A Winter's Night. If you've never seen the live concert at Durham Cathedral, I highly recommend it. His rendition of 'The Burning Babe' is magical.

The man who sings with Sting is a singer/songwriter from Algeria named Cheb Mami. His contributions to this masterpiece are stunning because they complement each other so well. Other Sting solo's that you should check out are "Brand New Day," "Russians," "Englishman In New York," "All for Love" (with Bryan Adams & Rod Stewart), "Be Still My Beating Heart" and so much more. You really can't go wrong with his catalog. He's one of the greatest musicians who emerged from the late 1970s.

Great suggestions! I think Amber, in particular, would find "We Work The Black Seam", "Fortress Around Your Heart" and "Shape of My Heart", worth listening to as well.

@angelagoodwin5758 Год назад

Sting is a true artist. His style varies and his lyrics are rich in imagery and symbolism. Check out "Be Still My Beating Heart", "Englishman in New York", and "Fragile". There's also a video of Stevie Wonder singing "Fragile" while Sting accompanies him. A brilliant and passionate performance. Lastly, "Voices Inside My Head" by The Police is one of their funkiest tracks.

@Number_51 Год назад

All great songs. My favorite has to be "Fragile". There was a live version recorded for the album ...All This Time that, given the events of the day it was recorded (September 11, 2001), was given completely new emotional meaning for a song that already had a deeply important message. "Desert Rose" was also supposed to be played at this show with Cheb Mami, but was cancelled.

@franky4318 Год назад

Fragile is one of my favorites.

@MrEvenStranger Год назад

The first time I heard this song was in 2001. Sting was preparing for a concert at his home in Tuscany on September 11, 2001. While preparing, they learned of the attacks on the WTC and discussed and debated cancelling the concert all together. They chose to perform one song, Fragile, and see how they felt. If it felt disrespectful, they would stop. They also decided to perform with a much more laid back sound, and the concert was truly one of the most magical performances I've seen. Desert Rose was performed in the dress rehearsal, but was cut from the final play list. The concert, the behind the scenes, the dress rehearsal are all on his DVD All This Time: Concert from Tuscany.

@vandergod Год назад

I have this on CD. It’s a great live album.

@terri2494 Год назад

You saved me the trouble of writing this. I will add that the locals were invited to the dress rehearsal and there was a warm, festive atmosphere that night, including during this song. The concert the next night was supposed to be a thank you to his fans. I don’t remember how the guests were selected (in advance) but they were from around the world, pretty much. Including the USA. Understandably Sting and the other musicians felt that Desert Rose was not appropriate for that performance. It’s a great documentary.

@wilburjunior9949 Год назад

Thank you for this post, 10 days after the 9/11 tragedy, Sting performed Fragile on a TV concert I saw . The tears flowed from me for the first Time since the attack. It was such an appropriate song for the time.

@alshipman2114 Год назад

True this. One of the most breathtaking DVD's of prepping & performing a show that I have ever seen. It still moves me to tears just to think of this DVD.

@rebeccajohnson8769 Год назад

One of my favorite songs he's done is the Portuguese version of Fragile. He also does an amazing cover of Elton John & Bernie Taupin's Come Down in Time. And I really wish they'd recorded his tour with Paul Simon. Sting singing Bridge Over Troubled Water. Chills.

@Sweetish_Jeff_ Год назад

Sting has had an excellent career. Starting with The Police and then going solo, he’s been successful and just keeps getting better and better. He’s an unlikely success story, too. Was married, a new father, at age 27 and was a schoolteacher who played in a jazz band on the side. Then he joined The Police and became a superstar. My favorite song of his as a solo artist is “If I Ever Lose My Faith In You”. My favorite Police song is “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic”. That was my ex-girlfriend’s favorite song by them, too. In fact, it was OUR song. Great fun seeing you do this song and video.

@jco207 Год назад

@jco207 Год назад

BTW, this was litterally a car commercial. Some of the video footage was used direction and cut to 30 seconds.

@Johnny_Socko Год назад

Their comment about "It was good that he left The Police" was interesting. The Police were my favorite rock band, and their sound was built around Stewart Copeland. The first two Police albums in particular sound very much like Copeland's previous project, Klark Kent. The Police was basically a continuation of that, except now with a really good vocalist. So when Sting's first solo album came out, it sounded weird at first to a Police fan like me -- it was so expansive, and it traded that driving percussion for more diverse soundscapes. The bottom line is that I love The Police, and Stewart Copeland is my favorite musician, but I think Sting *needed* to go on his own musical journey, and everyone (including the listeners) was probably better off that way.

@Sweetish_Jeff_ Год назад

@@Johnny_Socko The Police were an anomaly when it came to rock bands. Typically, they form during teenage years by kids who went to school or college together. Band members leave and come, the ones who join because it’s a hobby or they want to meet boys or girls but lack the ambition to want a career in music get phased out. Then they become huge stars and go on their journey. The Police did none of that. They were three guys from other bands who got together almost like an arranged marriage or shotgun wedding and had to get along. They met in their late 20s and all three guys were alpha males. You get three of them in the same room and trouble will ensue. Yet out of that tension came brilliant pieces of music and art. Stewart grew up in Lebanon and lived overseas until he was 18. His father was one of the founding members of the CIA. Stewart grew up listening to Arabic music on the radio and rhythms that were different from the western rhythms. I think that had a lot to do with The Police style. They were really a different kettle of fish. It just got to a point where Sting was becoming a huge star and overshadowing the others. And he felt it was best to go out on top. Amber and Jay are dead-on. Because Sting got to make the music he wanted to with the musicians he picked and not have to deal with two other guys in a band.

You would probably enjoy the entire album this song is on (Brand New Day). Sting is really experimenting with blending genres and cultures in unique ways (A black gospel choir singing over a prog rock like odd time signature at the end of a country song “Fill Her Up” is just one example). This is also a very late 90s sounding album as opposed to the 80s sound we usually associate with him. Honestly, you could react to every song on every album of his and you wouldn’t regret it. Some very good music in there.

Literally the best concert I've seen. They pumped fog through out the whole place for the whole show and it made it seem like it's own world. Everyone on stage was so relaxed, a random woman from the audience jumped up on stage when he did this song and just started dancing off to the side and Sting was totally digging it, playing his bass looking at her, egging her to keep doing it. It was beautiful.

The look on his face is priceless...... he's like, are you hearing this?

@nickimontie Год назад

Sting really embraced world-influenced music both with the Police and his solo career. I think that's what sets his music apart from others in that era.

@j_u_n_e_bug8746 Год назад

I saw him in concert with Peter Gabriel and he was phenomenal. When We Dance is my all time favorite from him . ♥️♥️

@wesleybeck9413 Год назад

I saw Sting & Paul Simon in concert together. That was awesome too.

@michaelknight2118 Год назад

Sting is your basic over achiever. Thank goodness. When you're able to go with one name, you got it. He is so special. Thank you.

@sherrihayward4500 Год назад

Love Sting!! MY era yet again lol. Please when you have a second try Level 42 Something about you, the bass is fire.😁😘

@Shrykespeare Год назад

Level 42 is maybe one of my top 3 groups of all time. I bought every album they ever made. I had my picture taken with Mark King as a gawky 17YO in 1987. ;) Great suggestion!!

@sherrihayward4500 Год назад

@@Shrykespeare thank you! They have been one of my faves since the 80s, please if you can help me request them. I have been trying for 6+ months.

@antoino2012 Год назад

a lot of people haven't heard of this guy but i know your abundance will be shocked and glad you review what i consider in almost every song (which are live by the way) a master showing in talent, range, emotion, stamina.

@rosemarywatson1231 Год назад

Oh yes! I love this song! It’s been a minute since I heard it.

@markbarnwell942 Год назад

i came back again for jay's reaction. it knocked me out when i first played it on cd 200 years ago.lol damn time goes by quick. so glad a younger generation gets to enjoy this stuff.

@deanmaynard8256 Год назад

Pretty much everything from his solo album - Dream of the Blue Turtles is a masterpiece

I remember being on a motor cycle trip to the south east a number of years ago. My buddy and I were stopped at a small country store for fuel and a snack. I was changing the CD on my Harley and a local, noticing us as Canadians came over to talk and asked if I had country music? This song was next up so I started it off and you should have seen the look on his face. I killed it just after the intro and said "You didn't say what country". We all had a great laugh and that was the start of a beautiful friendship that lasts to this day. Damn, we had great times with him and his family and went back to visit a number of times.

Love that you guys loved the song. When Sting sang that to me during his Vegas residency last year, I almost fell out because it is my absolute favorite song of his. If you ever get the chance, go see his show. You won't be disappointed, and he starts his North American tour in September. 😊

@jathygamer8746 Год назад

Check out the lyrics. They'll make you feel like you're travelling back in time as does the music. The phrase "tied to a horse that will never tire" is just so visual in itself 🎧 💓 🎶

@rozequinn1519 Год назад

Oh goodie!! Bout time...love this song!! Cheb Mami is his name from Saida, Algeria.

@tilaberisha4924 3 месяца назад

Every time I listen to this masterpiece, knowing the history behind this song and the fusion between them creating something soooo beautifully unique and perfect. It has been over 20-25 years now and this song is one of my favorite of all time

@dannyt286 14 дней назад

What a cool voice this Cheb Mami guy has! I love how Sting brought these two styles together

@wesedens3282 Год назад

Great reaction you guys! This is off his "Brand New Day" CD. It has soooo many great songs, you will love it. Go find his live performance of Brand New Day ( Sting's 60th Birthday). It has to be your next Sting reaction, it is 🔥🔥🔥. His lyrics are so good on all the songs he does. Amazing performer and song writer!!!

@jeanpeuxplus7257 Год назад

If you like this type of mix between pop/rock and arabic sounds, you have to react to The Sisters of Mercy and Ofra Haza - Temple of Love! A pure gem ❤

@amandaobrien1574 7 месяцев назад

This is one of my top 3 songs ever - can listen to it on repeat for ages

@edgarmontero5290 Год назад

There are 3 artists, who broke away from their original groups, and embarked on a discovery of sounds from different countries, composing world music. STING from The Police, PETER GABRIEL from Genesis, and DAVID BYRNE from Talking Heads. The music of the three of them as part of their groups is wonderful, but it was great, as Rob said, their separation allowed them to produce these wonderful songs. I love one Sting's song, called RUSSIANS, and maybe you would like PETER GABRIEL, song IN YOUR EYES, but the live version. DAVID BAYRNE, as always, made the strangest music, mixing at some point, rock with Cumbia and Latin American sounds, and although he was not as successful as the other two singers, he was the most avangard.

Please this Friday do the band Garbage! Shirley Manson is the lead singer! She's fantastic!

@user-or1ye3iz6d Год назад

Please react to The Police "SYNCHRONICITY II" and "WRAPPED AROUND MY FINGER" ❤️❤️❤️

This song still gives me goosebumps, every time I hear it, without fail. Cheb Mami's vocals are such a gorgeous complement - it's as though they're singing two different songs that just blend together perfectly.

@tinahairston6383 Год назад

Sting, real name Gordon Sumner, is British and his solo career has been phenomenal since The Police broke up in a way a lot of other "group" leads haven't have or will ever have because he's so diverse and eclectic. His work is a deep dive you NEED to take. Some of my favorites...If You Love Somebody Set Them Free, If I Ever Lose My Faith In You, A Thousand Years, After the Rain Has Fallen, Tomorrow We'll See, Brand New Day, The Lazarus Heart, Be Still My Beating Heart, Englishman in New York, They Dance Alone, We'll Be Together, his duet with Sheryl Crow - Always On Your Side, My Funny Friend and Me from Disney's Emperor's New Groove which plays during the end credits.

Sting is a musical genius! He is so underrated. He does all his own music, writes and sings, what can't he do?

@nk1974 11 месяцев назад

I was about 24 yrs old in Los Angeles when this came out. People were obsessed with this song. I was too, I still love it.

@cynthiaschultheis1660 Год назад

Sting did a fundraising concert in Brazil, all in Spanish!!!! EXCELLENT!!!!!

@TheCubert120 Год назад

Cheb Mami is amazing, and the pairing of voices is beautiful and haunting

@TerryL421 Год назад

So glad you guys loved this one. It's one of my favorite Sting songs. What I've always liked about Sting is he always puts his artistic creativity first and never just released what was commercially acceptable at the time. That's why we have magical songs like Desert Rose.

@TheWorldsEnd66 Год назад

It’s a stunning style of musical fusion, whilst still keeping that respectful individuality of cultures. Yet both were singing very much about the same thing. Love transcends language and cultural boundaries. Whether that’s when sung in the Sahara or in the Mojave Desserts.
