I used to drive my son to school on my bike, both of us singing this song in our imperfect English. I remember thinking, please God, make this moment last for ever.
As a young farm boy back in 1959, I recall sitting with my soon to be wife, the love of my life, and watching the wheat wave in the breeze as we dreamed of our future. I lost her to cancer in 1996. This song always brings a tear to my eye. Beautiful bright brown eyes with dark, soft, long hair and very intelligent lady. So dearly missed and so lovingly remembered. Love this song.
So Sorry to hear of your loss, Cancer has ravaged many a family. I'm sure your wife was larger than life, so it must follow that she will always be with you.
As a kid. My dad woke me up to this every morning. He passed away a few weeks ago. I can barely get through the whole song. It brings such peace love and pain to my heart. I love you forever dad.
Hi, I’m sorry for responding to your adorable activities here. you have such a thrilling profile, words fail to complement your wonderful and lovely personality. I'll really appreciate if you accept me as a friend. If you're interested in chatting with me
Sorry for your loss! Its hard enough when someone passes naturally but when you do not expect it its so much worse. My brother committed suicide in a solo car crash September 2 two years ago. Its very difficult I mean I am at the anger stage of grief. But I am also upset that I can never ask him any questions. It may sound odd to some but its just how I feel right now.. Again Im sorry for your loss
Jonathan Winfield I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your story. Suicide is a hard one to process. I won’t say I understand why you’re going through, because no one understands what any of use is going through. Grief is a very hard thing to process and we will go through many stages of it. For instance, Even though my husband’s death baffled investigators and we suspect that he may have suffered a stroke or seizure on the road (he had a concussion 2 days before)... I still felt very angry toward him for a while. I told him to go get check after the concussion but he staunchly refused. We also have 2 little ones under the age of 4 and one on the way. This lasted about 2 weeks and I am now in the acceptance stage and just going over everything we built together.
My brother died on Friday. He loved sting. Stings words.. "you'll remember me" Thats enough. I'll play it at his funeral and keep his spirit with me forever.
Perhaps they are not the starts . But rather openings In the heavens where the love of our lost ones pours through. And shines down upon us . To let us know they are happy .
I‘m a 24 old, Not Many at my Age know and listen to this song, I can‘t describe what this song means to me, sometimes I can‘t handle that much beautiness and tears come into my eyes. I Love this Song - this era of music seems so emotional to me. Must have been a stunning time to be young. Thank you Sting for this masterpiece.
Acredito tbm q tenha sido uma época boa , quesito músicas por exemplo , letras tao tocantes , tão profundas ! Isso sim é música !!! ❤😢 tenho 38 amo músicas antigas !
Does anyone ever have that feeling of hearing just such a great song that it makes them just have a tingly feeling inside? Like it sorta feels like crying, except you aren't? That's what this song makes me feel.
The first time I heard this song was like 3 months ago, when my dad was driving me home from South Dakota. It was at night, and while we listened, it was totally silent as we looked at the lights of the city. Great experience.
I remember my friend. May she be walking in fields of gold… A precious soul and deeply missed. Please reach out to anyone feeling lost/alone/lonely/isolated…it’s the little things that can make all the difference. Keep going ❤ you are loved x
A moment that will last forever as long the generations that remember this song are alive. Millennials will remember this song, but what about future generations?
@@ildart8738Some millenial might one day make a hit movie and use it as a soundtrack. And the cycle might repeat with future generations.Just look at what happened to Running up that hill .
@condurachesorin Well that's debatable, because Placebo did a cover of Kate Bush's "Running Up This Hill" and went further with their version then she ever did on her own until the "Stranger Things" show. Most people thought Placebo were the original recording artist.
@@DravensWolves It happenes to a lot of songs. Heck, when I was kid I thought that The Man who sold the world was a Nirvana original. It took Metal Gear Solid for me to start going down that rabbit hole. Same thing could happen to someone in the future with Fields of Gold.
My father used to play this song a lot when I was in Kindergarten and Elementary School. It gave him a lot of comfort because he was still grieving the loss of my paternal grandfather (his father) more than 10 years after his death. A drunk driver that was drag racing killed my Pop-Pop back in 1978. Now my own father is up there with him. Rest in peace. Both of you.
My dad died today. He told me to play this when his time comes. I'll always remember him with this masterpiece. I'll show it to my future children alongside their grandfathers pictures and stories.
If you’re not sensitive, this song will make you sensitive. I’m extra sensitive and crying my eyes out. I was cleaning my house and this song came on the radio😢 I had to take a minute and enjoy and let go all my emotions. Thank you Sting for this masterpiece 🙏❤
This song is so deep and original that it transports you to the abyss of the universe, creating memories of the good old days. Thanks Sting masterpiece
This has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever to be created, like seriously its sooo touching, a perfectly balanced feeling of nostalgia and happiness. Also this song perfectly encapsulates the 'feeling of home'.
Such a nostalgic feel and very sentimental. Certain masterpieces such as these revoke “mysterious”emotions from childhood(buried/repressed) that can only translate to or identify most with melancholy😢
This song brings tears to my eyes. My wife had cancer and listened to this song all the time coz our daughter sang it for her. She’s now 16 years in remission and I thank the lord, my life could have been so different having to bring our daughter up by myself. They are extremely close now. ❤️❤️
I'm a 53 year old, shaven headed, gym going, van driving builder, but I can't listen to more than a couple of lines of this song without welling up, It just reminds me of warm summer evenings walking with all the dogs I have ever owned, loved and lost. I'm not a spiritual person , and in my mind when you die , the lights go out and that's your lot, but if I'm wrong I hope that if just even for one evening I can have them all back together at one time , and we might walk in fields of gold .
@@paddyodawsmaclaferty3093 you're right, it is wired, there's plenty of songs that are supposed to a bit sad or emotional but none of them hits me like this one does
I used to hear this song back in the 1990's a long time ago. It is still one of my favorites to this day and reminds how bad I want to be home. I have a great life but there are a lot of people who I want in it that are missing from it.
According to Sting, he got inspired to write this song after he bought a 16th-century manor house, which was surrounded by fields of barley. During the Summer the wind would blow over the shimmering surface of barley, and it just looked like a sea of gold. This is such a beautiful song with such beautiful lyrics.
I love love this, my husband passed 41 years ago..I was 32. He was the love of my life. We did walk on fields of Gold for 11 years. When my time comes, I will have this at my service. Sting is amazing and so is the version from Celtic Womam.
@@marionleigh7050 Because of the way he reacted once when it was mentioned to him. Can't remember where and when, but he seemed to think it was just another song and wanted to move on. Then too, he may have just wanted to be humble.
@@matthewmchenry2889 Well, I certainly respect your opinion, but I like the way Sting sings it. And I will also listen to the way the Celts sing it, given the opportunity.
This song truly is a masterpiece of art in the same way as a painting by one of the great masters , they share a special element that means they live deep within our souls ,this is just spine tingling ,with it's slightly lilting melody and melancholy rhythm ,we are indeed fortunate to live in an age where we have access to these wondrous works of art at our fingertips so we can appreciate them for their magnificence but keep them safe in our hearts ,minds and souls. Thank you Sting ,your talent has done humanity a great service and we are all in your debt.
But Steven, the true miracles in music (not least with something like Duran Duran's "Ordinary World") come when they don't really sit and think too much, but allow the Holy Spirit to take their own talents to a higher and deeper and fuller level. Now let's be clear, nobody denies that these works are by the artists and from their souls, but those souls draw on the Spirit - now as in Biblical times, and again and again it happens that other people (e.g. myself) can see TRANSPARENTLY the depth of what has been produced, even as the makers are not always fully able to do so. You know that "Ordinary World" includes the lyrics: talking softly / lights / ghost / life / cry / survive / Passion / Pride / Cross / heart / my friend / gone away / suffering and greed / Fear / holy war and holy need / sorrow? Most reasonable people looking on would say that is not a religiously-neutral set of words, but who knows if the band even realise that? They themselves thought they were writing a melancholy commemorative song, yet many who hear it feel a kind of inspiring ectasy. The same with "Fields of Gold"... Many, many times we hear artists mumble semi-embarrassedly that "it just kind of came to me". This is all the more true of Brits, for whom self-deprecating embarrassment is a national sport. Of course, all that religious stuff is supposedly a bit too deep for Brits, so they force themselves into loudly-declared atheism again and again. That is probably why the Paraclete - who certainly has Its/His more-playful side - again and again helps Brits to produce divinely-inspired and divinely-inspiring creativity - Ralph Vaughan Williams, The Beatles, Shakespeare, Keane, Elbow, Coldplay, Richard Curtis, Adam Curtis, Sting, and so on (and on) (and on)...
@@crimson6658 No. But I'm not low in any way either. I feel as I feel without the aid of chemicals (except the ones my own body produces of course). I am a scientist and know quite a bit about scientific truth regarding the world and the universe. But like any TRUE scientist (unblinkered), I am on the look out for the (few but not zero) things going on around us that do not add up in line with conventional explanations. I go where the evidence takes me, and am thus interested in the impact certain songs or other pieces of music have on people. I had a religious encounter that was very closely similar to what is described in The Bible in regard to the Holy Spirit, and intriguingly that was not a very dreamlike experience, but really quiet tangible, if of course wonderful. I can't fully explain it, but know it happened and do not dismiss it - all the more so as it has definitely changed the way I see things ... in the direction of "seeing" more. It makes me so happy, and leaves me feeling so connected and in awe, that I actually panic and feel fearful over the prospect that I might return to what I was like before. So thanks for asking, Crimson - and I have no idea whether you got the answer you wanted or not. But bless you anyway!
Perhaps they are not the starts . But rather openings In the heavens where the love of our lost ones pours through. And shines down upon us . To let us know they are happy .
'Fields of Gold' is that song that whenever you hear it playing anywhere, your mind, heart, and soul instantly reset to it and you believe it to be the most breathtakingly beautiful song ever made.
La musica siempre me ha salvado de mis peores momentos en la vida gracias a temas como este de Sting ya veo que somos muchos que pensamos lo mismo por distintos motivos...Que bonito leer a tanta gente escribir cosas tan hermosas y emotivas.Gracias!!
I lost my dad 10 days ago. Tomorrow is his funeral. I have a very distinct memory of him playing this song on our road trips. He always made me feel safe growing up. This song reminds me of those precious moments and how I wish I could go back to those moments in my life ❤
I’m so sorry for your loss, my friend. I know what it’s like to lose your father. I lost mine 3 years ago. My father also used to play Sting’s music for us kids. Hang on to those memories. They will give you comfort for the rest of your life if you let ‘em.
@@StacheBigote it's amazing, just the love and support and encouragement in your response 😊 Thank you. I will hold on to these memories forever. I'm sorry you lost your father too. He sure raised a good person in you 🙏🏽
Essa música é como um abraço musical, te envolve numa nostalgia suave e acolhedora. A voz suave do Sting combinada com a melodia envolvente de 'Fields of Gold' é como um passeio pelo campo em uma tarde ensolarada. Cada nota parece contar uma história de amor e saudade, enquanto a guitarra acústica sussurra segredos do coração. São músicas daquelas que fazem o tempo parar por alguns minutos, te levando a um lugar onde as lembranças florescem como campos dourados. Uma verdadeira joia atemporal que sempre encontra um jeito de tocar uma alma.
My beautiful mother recently passed suddenly, but prior to her passing.. for the last few months she absolutely loved this song and constantly had it on repeat. It will forever remind me of her.🙏🏻💕
Today is my dad's funeral, this was his favorite song listening to it i feel like he's right here with me. Tomorrow is my second son birthday trying to be strong so he could have a happy day. This song helps.
I'm so sad to hear that you lost your husband. I will pray for you 🙏 Fields of Gold, is truly one of the best love songs ever written. Sting is Magical 🎶🎵 🥁
You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we walk in fields of gold So she took her love for to gaze awhile Upon the fields of barley In his arms she fell as her hair came down Among the fields of gold Will you stay with me, will you be my love Among the fields of barley We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we lie in fields of gold See the west wind move like a lover so Upon the fields of barley Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth Among the fields of gold I never made promises lightly And there have been some that I've broken But I swear in the days still left We'll walk in fields of gold We'll walk in fields of gold Many years have passed since those summer days Among the fields of barley See the children run as the sun goes down Among the fields of gold You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You can tell the sun in his jealous sky When we walked in fields of gold When we walked in fields of gold When we walked in fields of gold Thank you for reading. I record covers of popular songs. I appreciate it if you listen to my channel! 😊
Thank You for the lyrics, just subscribed to Your channel, You really have phenomenal, strong voice , wish You lot of success, go on,keep it up ,u have the potential!!!!
This song is in the past tense. I think it's about a partner, lover, spouse who passes away or is near passing away and wants them to remember the times they had together. Through the good and bad, their love is unbreakable and he'll wait for them on the other side, to walk in Fields of Gold once again.
Joe R based on my analysi, the singer is the one who have died. he's the husband his wife's lying with back then among the fields of barley. he's singing through space and time to remind his beloved one about him and to tell her she would remember him all the time when similiar events happens again in the days to come. you can relate it the most if youre an elderly woman who have lost your husband, trust me. this is beautiful and Sting was a songwriter genius.
Lyrics You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we walk in fields of gold So she took her love For to gaze a while Upon the fields of barley In his arms she fell as her hair came down Among the fields of gold Will you stay with me? Will you be my love? Upon the fields of barley We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we lie in fields of gold See the west wind move like a lover so Upon the fields of barley Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth Among the fields of gold I never made promises lightly And there have been some that I've broken But I swear in the days still left We'll walk in fields of gold We'll walk in fields of gold Many years have passed since those summer days Among the fields of barley See the children run as the sun goes down Among the fields of gold You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You can tell the sun in his jealous sky When we walked in fields of gold When we walked in fields of gold When we walked in fields of gold
In terms of melody, I think this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It sounds so warm and peaceful ☀️. In these three and a half minutes you can at least try to think of a better world and forget the harsh reality.
I’ve always loved this song. I don’t know why, maybe the one day I’ll figure out why. It’s about peace and love and a hope someone will remember me. But forget me at the same time.
Man... exactly the same.And the best part? I wasn’t even born in the 90’s. Somehow I feel nostalgic about a time period that I never experienced. Dreaming of how my life would be...
I have a vivid memory of my mother holding me in her arms dancing with me to this song in our living room. Holding my little arm out with my tiny hand in hers. One of my happiest moments. She doesn't remember it but I'll never forget it
I'd be honored if some Sting fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal RU-vid performances of ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK and WHY SHOULD I CRY FOR YOU in tribute to the master of lyricism and composition. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace and stay safe in the '020s.
This song is in my top 5 of all time. I come from a country town in Western Australia where 'fields of Gold's is a part of life.I've already asked my daughter to play it at my funeral. It broke her heart but she knows what this song means to me.
My dad asked about the lyrics of this song so I bought him the cd. It was the last gift I gave him as he passed away not long after. Now I always think of him when I hear this song.
before i got married , i had listened to this song, imagining a wife and 2 kids in the beautiful fields. now 25 years later , i have a wife and 2 kids . we have also travelled the world. Thank God. The power of positive affirmation
@@Parkerlee1000 Reach out and be willing to use the tools of the modern age and you'll find someone. =) Might not be the first person you meet but persistence and a bit of effort on improving yourself along the way will make it worthwhile. Good luck to you stranger.
I'm a 30 years old women. It's normally not my kind of music. But always when I hear this song, I close my eyes wherever I am and just listen. I dont cry in the beginning but when it comes to 2:13 the background music hits me right in my face and I can't hide my tears. Don't know why.. I love this song.❤️
Mirando a través de la ventana la lluvia que cae como una suave caricia sobre el verde de los campos de mi tierra: Galicia, bellísimo tema señor Sting.
All how I listen to this song it reminds me of how sweet life used to be with the ones you loved and now are gone and much much more. The past the present and how to appreciate the life we are living much more. ❤❤❤my fav of all time!!!!
This song makes me feel like I'm in heaven, walking with mom in the fields of gold, holding hands, I can smell her beautiful fragrance in the wind, walking towards the sunset and She's telling me how happy she is in heaven. I miss you mom.. I miss you so much
Tasmina Pinky: What beautiful memories and feelings you have of your Mother. I believe you will definitely get to be with her again soon and do that thing which you desire. 😊 God bless you!
When I was child, I listened this almoust every day on radio. Now, I'm still listening this song, reminds me childhood and I will never forget this song ...
This is nothing like any other song Sting ever made. When my cousin first heard this song many years ago, he said, "This can't be Sting, it's way too beautiful" and I agreed with him. Always loved listening to this beautiful song and always will.
I think so many simply did not understand this song. It’s about couple meeting, romance, “i never made promises lightly, and there have been some that I’ve broken” marriage vow, having children, and “Tell the sun in his jealous sky” is when she dies, and is in heaven. Fields of Gold is of course Fields of Wheat around Barley. In the end it truly is a masterpiece. A very beautiful short tale of life, romance and ending.
I think you're right to say many don't understand this song. Your interpretation was very insightful and for sure from now one I'm gonna look at this song differently. And to think of it.... The sky is said to be jealous because he actually died (since it says "YOU'LL remember me.... You can tell the sun in its jealous sky that we walked it fields of gold" Towards the end it said "see the children run as the sun goes down..." implying that they got married and had children of their own.
@@glennross85 wrong? Sting wrote the track after he bought a house near a barley field. The sunsets and the colours of the field helped inspired the lyrics, along with his love for wife Trudie Styler, whom he married in 1992.
I remember listening to this when I was young in the 90s and enjoying life with my friends, I dont know where time goes, but it sure goes by fast, this song makes me want to go back to that moment of time again and again........
When I was on my 20s I could not speak english at all, so I would only follow the instrument and the music rhythms. Believe me I cried then and still cry now. Onions **sighs**
This Song was on as I left the hospital after my father passed away during a medical procedure..Never got to say goodbye. I know he is walking through Fields of Gold..
This is a work of genius on several levels; Tommy Fleming and Vince Gill - well, what a wonderful combo in the first place - and then they take that classic out of 3/4 timing and make it work in 4/4. Sublime!
I was in high school when this song came out. Grew up in the country and would gaze out out at the open fields. This song is one of those that takes me back. Todays music just isn’t the same.
This is one of those songs that never go out of style regardless of its age. It still sounds endearing today as it did when it was released back in 1993.
I've always found this song breathtaking. All the musical elements employed here, and yet stunningly simple. The genius of midchannel Sting; thank you for playing this rare artist.
This song never fails to bring a lump to the throat and a hint of a tear in the eye. One of the most beautiful and haunting songs done by anyone. As I write this - the sun is setting over the beach near home as my two children laugh happily in the other room after a lovely family day. I wish I could freeze this moment in time. Sting's finest moment as a solo artist.
We have all had those moments. Now my children are grown and gone and I am a widow. I miss being a young mother, wife and my two little boys. My life was so full and it was over way too fast. Now, I am just the old lady who lives down the street.
@@donnaemerson3313 I know what you mean Donna. My life was so great, a lovely wife, 2 wonderful children. Now they are all grown and gone. It seems like my whole life went by in a flash. I tell my younger friends and co-worker who have young families to enjoy that time of their lives as it will go away too soon. If I had a time machine, I'd go back to when my kids were 2 and 3 years old. That was the best time of my life.
My precious mum died after a fiece battle with cancer this was played at her funeral it means so much. The last 4 years we lay in fields of gold in everything we did together, I have a sense of pride at how she still smiled and how we filled those last 4 years with so much love joy and precious memories
For years we have included this song in our set list, it blends in well with irish & English story ballads that were written 200 years ago. A work of art, and a song that will last another 200 years or more.
