Sting is a legend,he has written so much amazing music and for people who think he is arrogant or full of himself well he has every right to be.There is nothing wrong with self belief when you have achieved all the things that Sting has managed to.And it sounds like he was an excellent teacher as well and very kind.I really can't understand the negativity towards him,he has achieved so much and managed to keep on writing so much good music which is no mean achievement.
Ana Martins. sting actually does seem quite lovely if i’m honest. all stars are held on a unattainable pedal stool to be perfect constantly. It is rather unfair i think.
the song is about a "practical" arrangement, but it is one of the most, most romantic songs I have ever heard in my life....I just turned 50 and I listen to tons of songs....Sting's God's gift to us...
One of my favorite videos! The BBC One Show’s interview was unique to say the least. Great to see Sting comfortable interacting with the hosts. The classroom piece was absolutely a fantastic segment! Great to see Dom, too.
Sting was genuinely touched to see his former pupils, what a beautiful moment, he was such a caring, thoughtful teacher who never forget about those kids
Sorry to hear about the loss of Kevin. Sting gave such a wonderful tribute to him didn't he and how wonderful to have this footage and for him to have been singled out by Sting as being very special 💓
@@andrearadford8280 Thanks for your kind words..he had it tough as a kid but even that didn’t stop him from trying to make us all laugh..that’s how he got his nickname Rigsby. Always smiling n laughing and was a great Goal Keeper and later he became an urban legend as a bus driver…gonna miss him.
Grandissimo Sting!!! Sting once said "music is a journey". It's great to make this journey with him and I look forward to listening to the new album....
Wow! Some beautiful chords... fantastic arrangement (OOPS) and beautiful words that really ring true in todays world............. will look forward to your Album Sting. thanks so much for this..... just the song I needed. love from Australia
wow! ok...............i did not expect that.............brilliant...Sting............I have fallen in love all over again....cross your fingers that I get to interview him on March 12, 2014.
I love this whole idea - and love sting for all he has done. I actually hope a movie, an English movie, will come out of this! Think Billy Elliot + the Full Mounty
and the song has been cut from the actual stage show? the duet takes it to another level. Get the super de luxe CD, great songs throughout. the show is in preview in New York , now , official launch 26th Oct #14. Its going to be the best , possibly ever show in Theatre land , The Last Ship.
Am I asking for the moon? *Sniff* Is it really so implausible? *Sniff* That you and I could soon *Sniff* Come to some kind of arrangement? I'm not asking for the moon *Sniff* I've always been a realist *Sniff* When it's really nothing more *Sniff* Than a simple rearrangement With one roof above our heads *Sniff* A warm house to return to *Sniff* We could start with separate beds *Sniff* I could sleep alone or learn to *Sniff* I'm not suggesting that we'd find *Sniff* Some earthly paradise forever *Sniff* I mean how often does that happen now *Sniff* The answer's probably never *Sniff* But we could come to an arrangement *Sniff* A practical arrangement *Sniff* And you could learn to love me *Sniff* Given time I'm not promising the moon *Sniff* I'm not promising a rainbow *Sniff* Just a practical solution *Sniff* To a solitary life I'd be a father to your boy *Sniff* A shoulder you could lean on *Sniff* How bad could it be *Sniff* To be my wife? With one roof above our heads *Sniff* A warm house to return to *Sniff* You wouldn't have to cook for me *Sniff* You wouldn't have to learn to *Sniff* I'm not suggesting that this proposition here *Sniff* Could last forever *Sniff* I've no intention of deceiving you *Sniff* You're far too clever *Sniff* But we could come to an arrangement *Sniff* A practical arrangement *Sniff* And perhaps you'd learn to love me *Sniff* Given time It may not be the romance *Sniff* That you had in mind *Sniff* But you could learn to love me *Sniff* Given time
Truly touching song and interview. It was a great idea to go to Cramlington, but some former pupils don't get a chance to speak or be seen clearly. Sting shows many subtle sides here, but his face during the song is amazing: it feels like we are seeing a weathered legend, of the Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash or Cesaria Evora type. Good luck, Mr Sumner.
I love Sting's albums: from Outlandos d'Amour all the way to Ten Summoner's Tales (he started to lose me after that). Why do so many musicians get so safe and dull as they get older? His passion and fire appears to have faded long ago. By the sound of this song, instead of looking forward to the new album, I'm slightly dreading it. Just saying.
His name is Chris Evans and for some unfathomable reason, he is a very busy presenter on various BBC platforms. Can't stay in the same room as his klaxon voice.
Sting and Noel Gallagher come across in the same way in interviews, similar backgrounds which they advertise especially the "we didn't have a pot to piss in" aspect of their early lives, but they both also display a self congratulatory smugness of"Look at me I'm great".
ralph34570 Yes your 100% correct. When sting was in the police he tried to hide where he was from and even changed his accent. Now as his career is on the slide he suddenly is all proud of where he is from !! Very strange
An amazing interview... an amazing spirit Sting is and a freaking awesome song !!! I love the sentiment behind it also for personal reasons... simply awesome. Thank you so much for uploading :)
