One of my favorite artists of all time. Sting is a purist and has an intention with every song he does. He is a rarity. Not only does he sings and writes but he also orchestrates his songs. Summoners Tales in one of my all time favorite albums. Additionally he was the lead singer of The Police. Additionally, many artist have sampled this song. Drake, Juice World and Monica (just to name a few) have sampled this song.
Sting is a legend as a composer but this song is made by the guitar melody. His guitarist Dominic Miller tells the story of him doing some finger practice and Sting walking by asking him about it. Then Sting went on a walk and a while later he came back with the lyrics and they made this finger practice into this beautiful song. It was sampled by multiple rap/rnb artists but you may also know it from the credits of Leon: the Professional which is an awesome movie.
His most famous songs were with The Police such as Every Breath You Take and Roxanne. He then had a very successful solo career. Any song from the album Nothing Like the Sun is fantastic. Also Desert Rose from the Brand New Day album. About a year ago I saw Sting in concert at the Hollywood Bowl where this was one of the songs he did. It was a magical night.
Sting is a genius song writer, musician and performer, he is such a fantastic talent, bringing passion and poetry to all his work. He is one the all time greats of the music industry. You could try 'fields of gold' excellent song....🙂
I love Sting and his voice! So iconic! I love this song, it’s on the soundtrack of one of my favorite movies, The Professional! Great movie about a girl whose family is killed by mobsters and she gets a hit man to help her get revenge! Sting was formerly with The Police before going solo in the eighties!❤❤
There is a documentary called "Bring on The Night" which goes over Sting's first solo album and the lead up to the first concert of his solo career in Paris. It is really good. Plenty of music in it. But what I find fascinating is it goes over some of his arranging processes when setting song up.
Where does one start in recommending a Sting song... If i ever lose my Faith 🙏 Fragile A Thousand Years When we Dance💃 Desert Rose⚘️ Just to name a few. Thanks for the reactions!!!
This song was played at the end of the movie "The Professional". If you've seen the movie, then you've definitely heard this song. You can watch it here on RU-vid. Just search for "The Professional Closing Scene". Really sad.
Hi! This entire album is PURE fyre (from smoldering to raging)! Ten Sumner's Tales. Other than Sting, the name you need to know is Vinnie Colaiuta, the drummer. Trust me, listen to the entire album, you will not be disappointed, Sting only jams with THE BEST musicians.
Such a beautiful melody and very clever play on words. This song was released in the early 90s and was sampled by another British artist called Craig Daivd for his song 'Rise & Fall' in the early 2000's which actually feature Sting. Check it out 👍
Sting is my favorite solo artist of all time. He’s a beautiful man inside and out. His voice is haunting and takes me to another place. You should listen to a song he did with Rod Stewart and Bryan Adams called All for One for All, from the 1993 film The Three Musketeers. These 3 singers have very distinct raspy voices that are magical when combined.
try 'Something the Boy Said', last song from the same album, Ten Summoner's Tales. The whole set is a gem! Also this song closes out Leon: The Professional, a masterwork of a movie. set in 1994 New York
i always get this song and another song off this album called Its Probably Me confused. Because they were both used in movies over the credits. This song from The Professional (aka Leon) and Its Probably Me from Lethal Weapon 3
Somebody sampled this? LOL MULTIPLE Artists sampled this! Rappers Rockers and Country ... Artists across the board have used a variation of this. The Guitar riff is Infamous for how hard it is to do Right and has been mimicked but not reproduced... NOT EVEN by the Guy who came up with the riff for Sting. He played a dirty easy version of the riff in live shows. Because it took so long to get right in studio for the album he rarely plays it correctly live. It has become known as one of the most difficult guitar pieces in history! May I direct you two to a video from a guitar guy and fellow Utuber.... Paul Davids (STING'S MOST COPIED RIFF - Why it's so HARD to get it right)
Many mentioned the sample of this song. I don't think anyone said Emotional by Carl Thomas. I think Carl's is the best sample of the song, second to Craig David's.
Sting. What can one say? Melancholy song about a melancholy life wasted with a gambling metaphor. Desperately trying to figure out how to change the game because deep down he knows it’s not really him.
