It reminds me of being deployed in Sigonella, Italy in January to June 1995 when I was stationed in Brunswick, Me in a P-3 squadron. A yeoman named Nina Delores used to always listen to this song while we were working in the personnelman office. Those were the days!
I'll never forget being a young girl and listening to this song as my daddy played it, singing along and literally thinking he was talking about being an alien from outer-space. Ah Sting, how I love thee. ♥
Es gibt einfach Sounds, die man sein Leben lang nicht vergisst. Ich hab das Lied Jahre lang nicht gehört und beim Refrain kamen die Erinnerungen sofort wieder hoch. Vielleicht sollte man mit solch einprägsamer Musik lernen, dann vergisst man es auch nicht :)
This man for me was lost until i saw his video with Craig David- Rise and Fall. It quickly reminded me of this song, my old time favorite. And I still love it
Love it !!! This is a fine example of great awesome music. You can actually listen to this song with the whole family and not only with your posies when you are out galavanting trying to scoop up some honeys
Every time I hear Sting, he reminds me that there are still free souls out there. Just when you though the world has been overtaken by "aliens" to whom stupidity, prejudice, indifference and greed are the order of the day (can you think of the biggest of them all ?!), just when you thought the last posts have been over-run, there comes he - Sting - and reminds you of some sanity in a world gone insane.
HiAdrian, what a clear, simple and gentle interpretation, thank you! I see the song in a bit another way: the cultures open up themselves in the "small differences" (remember "Pulp Fiction", the first dialogue?..). The most difficult for the foreigner is to catch and to accept those differences, just like to make the tost on both sides instead of one. "You can hear it in my accent".
I have had my first experience of the most interesting city I have been too...European cities leave me bit bored.....there is something about NY I can't put my finger on......you guys are all so confident.
Because the society you live in, is not the same as around the world. You addabt to your enviroment and since it ain't the same all over the world, again the society will evolve in one direction.
I think he means that a gentleman isn't in a hurry, doesn't loose his calm no matter what. An antidote to the hectic business world of Manhattan. Well, that's the way i understood it.
I enjoy the jazz sound of the song. Sting is an incredible artist. I do wonder though who the older lady is. The poor woman is talking to herself. You can really feel for people when they suffer from mental illness.
Immer wieder muß ich schmunzeln, wenn ich lese, daß manche Leute solche geilen Lieder nur von DSDS kennen. Da kann man sehen, wieviel Leute die Originale nur als verkackte Coverversionen kennen, welche NIE an die Originale rankommen.
My journey to knowledge looms long before me, and I do recognise it. I do let my spelling down far too frequently, and l must thank you for bringing my error to my attention. May Amerikans (correct sp, see 1970s politics) learn from my failings, and know the location of towns and civilisations which they bomb back to the stone-age ;)
I'm a french man in chicago, I really understand his words!
be yourself, no matter what they say ..
a gentleman would walk would never run ..

Ah Sting, how I love thee. ♥
this is an amazing song, the music,the vocals, the lyrics, very clever and that jazz break, wow
There are very few people in this world whom I truly respect. Sting is one of the rare few.

Best tribute to Quentin Crisp ever!
Sting fue maestro de Ingles por varios años a esto se le atribuye su manera tan articulada de componer ;)
"Be yourself, no matter what they say."
I had to quote this verse.
It's just amazing... ♥
