It was so funny when I saw him live. He was explaining this song and then some guy behind me yells "YOU SIR, ARE A F***ING GENIOUS!!!" I was laughing my ass off, but he was right. Sting is a master.
brilliantly atmospheric sting is at the pinacle of his creative powers how open he is and how beautiful this song truly is the posibilites it opens to imagination it's about life a transexual in paris who can do this with such objectivity and lyrical honesty thank you sting, if i had a ounce of his talent,which i do noti would be afraid to do this and sting was even honest about that at the intro you sir, surpas even my expectation of a composer performer.
La canción suena genial, y la letra obliga a un interesante ejercicio empatía y tolerancia hacia personas que se vieron envueltas en un mundo distinto al de la mayoría. No podemos saber hasta qué punto aquellos a los que intenta representar el protagonista de la letra fueron libres para armar su vida de esa manera.
Listen to the beginning seconds of the James Bond theme.....VERY similar....then the end of the Bond theme, the LAST chord, thats a Minor Major 7/9.......Same chord but different voicing in Stings tune!!!!!!
