Great melancholic song.
Always reminds me of the the great movie "Leon - The professional"

Wow, haven't heard this in years.  Hard to believe this is less 10 years removed from the Police, but already 20 years old...

One of my favorite albums of the 90s as well.  Can't believe it's 20 years old already.

Okay sure, but the album has one name on the cover.  Dominic is great though, didn't mean to diminish his qualities.  And Vinnie....well...he's done it all and then some.

Check out the amazing card magician Shawn Farquhar here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkYNAwdFH9M
where he does a variation of his world award winning trick done to this song. It's AMAZING!{#Clap}

Good songwriting, but it still feels like it's missing something. Perhaps the melody sounds a bit like it was pulled from a formula for writing a song with this time signature.

Some good ones...?

And that says Tokyo, a nation that kills sharks by the 10-thousands,

Who can take JAPAN really serious?

Now bow that someone is telling you the truth!

Some good ones...! Paaaah!!!

I love Sting's solo stuff, maybe more than his entire body of work with The Police (although they definitely had some amazing songs).

Meh.  Don't really care about his personality.  What matters is that his post-Police work is terminally dull.

 Sting seems to evoke much envy among men, who try bashing his music to cover up what they really don't like, which is not being HIM.  But then again, as you point out, he does have much to be envious of! 
 

WELL-WELL SAID (second entry)!

Sooo true!

The avarage rating of this song is a ridiculous 7.4,
while this kitschi Ludovico E.-guy has certainly an 8+!

Frankly?
These are the facts that make me DOUBT the RP community!

Let's not take such personal stabs at the man himself, but rather concentrate on his work. He is quite the artist. How many of you know him personally, or are you going from interview clips, etc...?

This is definitely one of Sting's better efforts; the song and the CD.
I agree that he's a pretentious, self-important git, but he did produce some good music over the years.

Yeah, he's probably a weenie, etc etc.

But he's smart enough to hire some truly exceptional musicians so there's always the playing to be enjoyed.

My ex-wife used to run into him at parties in Newcastle when she was at the Polytechnic - which I understand has been renamed. Apparently Eno was also something of a regular at the Saturday night boozers.

You need to stop sniffing shit.

You are clearly an expert on the aroma of human waste, but do you stop there or does this obsession stretch to lying under glass coffee tables whilst others defecate onto the glass above.?
As for "Stink" he probably bags his own up for fans so I'd give him a call and get some in.
Who knows maybe you'll hit it off and get invited over to watch him bang Trudie in a tantric fashion while he warbles on about winter.

Let me know how you get on.

This song, and the one about the women dancing alone, have an odd sort of emotional impact. Melancholy, I guess you'd call it.

I can totally understand those who've had quite enough of Sting. I thought The Police went downhill after 'Outlands' too.

I'm a classically trained musician and I appreciate the complexity of his songs.  I happen to like this song, very much....jus' sayin'.

And I might be stuck on myself if I had that great of a body, a good singing voice, plenty of money, the ability to write music, etc.  I might.
