I've seen that movie close to twenty times. I can even quote passages from it. Love it. The whole process of creation, his concert as a solo artist in Paris, the rehearsals. It's a brilliant film. Greetings from London. |

Rich? I read a while back that his accountant ripped him off for four million pounds (possibly more) and he hadn't noticed. |

True, but he does do a fabulously ethereal "lutes-only" cover version of Whistling Jack Smith's classic, " I Was Kaiser Bill's Batman" on that album. |

Sting gets my vote for most delusional sense of self-importance. The lute album being just one more nauseating example. |

Sooooooooo, if I have no crediblity than the overwhelming majority of postive reviews and ratings that I give have no merit and therefore RP sucks, is that what you are saying? Cause if you are......... |

Yes it's there. Just caught it today myself. Unfortunately, it does not redeem the song. |

This album sounds kinda dated now, but I loved it when it came out.
The tour that Sting launched after it came out was fantastic, mainly because of how great the musicians were that played both on the album and in the touring band.
Alas, that was the beginning of the end for Sting as a meaningful musician in my book.

Obviously Mr. Gordon Sumner suffers a severe musicians-block.
Not good for hardcore fans like me!

No, I do not consider "If on a winter's night" a "real" Sting album.
Certainly neither "Labyrinth" with 15th century songs!

The song has 164 (+ or - a few) ratings of 7. (Ave rating is 6.4)
If you just read the comments it should have 23,098 (+ or - a few) ratings of 3 or less resulting in an Ave rating of -2.1.
I don't understand????
I like the song, the album, and the artist.
The term sold out is 'played out', every artist who markets and sells an album under a record company label, has by definition contracted with the record company so in essence 'sold out'.
But that may just be my perception. |
