Personally, I think it is tenderly and perfectly, soulsearchingly beautiful. Be careful not to overthink something beautiful. Sometimes it is just beautiful.
Well said, Here Here xx
Perhaps its beauty inspires them to "overthink".
Ane Brun is a gem!
Why all the negative comments here? This is merely an interpretation and done so, in my opinion, extremely beautfully. He should be honoured.
true
Because a very beautiful song was destroyed, that’s why.
We beg to differ then.
Because some people think their opinions are facts. They don't know what subjective means. And they think their stupidity needs to be advertised.
I am sure he was honored. Gotta love Sting, he was so much more than just lead singer for Police, he is an true musical artist.
I’m 56 and have heard this song many a time. 1/91’(weeks after the release I’m recalled for Op Desert Shield/Storm) was the first time I heard it on the Disc, Soul Cages; I cried.
20 years later and the tears are rolling down my face version... beautiful performance!
Thank you for your service 😢❤
Both Sting and Ane Brune are two of my all time favourite artists ...
This song is not the most popular Sting's song so I'd like to thank for the choice. This album was the one I grew with. I was only 7-8 y.o, little Russian girl in industrial city, provincial city with nowhere to walk and almost nothing to do. I was learning English at school and listened to Sting's albums. I still remember EVERY sound of it. Every. Sting formed my music taste along with Tchaikovsky, Bach and ABBA. I think that was a great choice of my parents as well.
One wee lad from Irkutsk loved those underrated, less mainstream songs of Stings in his time, too.
Sting does well to hold his emotions intact here.
I met his dad a few times briefly when I was young,
My mother once said to him...”you never told us you had a famous son “,
To which he replied...” well you know”...but you could see the pride in his face.
Men of his generation didn’t know how to show feelings,and that in turn can sometimes be passed on to the next generation.
Sting looks like his dad..
Thank you for sharing that insight.
thank you
"Men of his generation didn’t know how to show feelings,and that in turn tends to be passed on to the next generation."
We can thanks our luck stars his son did..
Thank you, it’s explain his reaction on all of this performance’s
WOW you met his father dang that is amazing that sounds like a story to hear one day
The original song, the music is so upbeat that you forget just how morose and somber the lyrics are. I've loved this song since I first heard the album in '92 or '93, but I am nearly crying at work listening to this. I knew it was a sad song, but not until I hear another version of it do I understand the pain in it, which crescendos at "Dark angels follow me". I will always argue this, nobody writes bridges in a song better than Sting.
Agreed. "If I could break down these walls and shout my name at Heaven's gate, I'd take these hands and destroy the dark machineries of fate..." -When We Dance. So moving
Why should I cry...because anything beautiful like this makes us Empaths cry.
This song makes me feel lucky that I loved my Dad and he loved me.
When he died it left an open sore in my soul that will never heal and I cry every day, to this day, for him.
This song doesn't make me cry, it makes me smile that I had something that some people never had.
I lost my dad when I was young. You ever heard that Iggy Pop song Candy....there's a line that says "I've had a hole in my heart for so long. I've learned to fake it and just smile along."
Most days I don't feel that way but some days a wave crashes over me and that hole is so real and painful.
I´m definitely with you ...I was as lucky as you were ...
Amazingly beautiful and unique
This interpretation sounds like it comes from a musical tradition filled with folklore. So unique and unexpected.
Sting is so sensitive he's trying to hold it together. This is lovely 🌹
Wonderful. A cover that, in my view, conveys the emotion of the song better than the original. This was a song about the death of Sting’s father, and this performance highlights the dark, sad beauty of it perfectly. Sting himself seems very moved.
Freaking spectacular. 10 out of 5 stars.
Merveilleuse interprétation .Merci Pour vos notes d'Harmonie .en ce monde
This has such fantastic cold and suitable, as for lyrics goes, ring to it… It is my all time favorite song.
This is a Viking song. I could feel the waves of the sea....
I had been watching the Swedish Wallander and there was this song at the end that brought tears to my eyes every time I listen to it. I found out the singer's name, Anne Brun.
She is one of my favorite since then, together with the show.
Beautiful and I love Sting, this is very touching. Namaste Irish Deirdre xx
so beautiful
Ein Lied welches meine Seele tief berührt und so stolze Eltern.
Das Lied ist unglaublich schön...!! WAS meinen sie mit Stolze Eltern?
So very beautiful!
What a lovely take on this enchanting song!
Beautiful !!!!
Bella canción hermosas voces bendiciones gracias
just amazing.
Amazing, look at the people memorized by it
Yes, mesmerized even...
@@Bomber411 thats what i ment to spell 🤣
@@lcvillafan ✌😆🤣
Magnifique ! Merci mesdames ! ;)
Under the dog star sail
Over the reefs of moonshine
Under the skies of fall
North, north west, the stones of Faroe
Under the Arctic fire
Over the seas of silence
Hauling on frozen ropes
For all my days remaining
But would north be true?
All colors bleed to red
Asleep on the ocean's bed
Drifting on empty seas
For all my days remaining
But would north be true?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?
Dark angels follow me
Over a godless sea
Mountains of endless falling,
For all my days remaining,
What would be true?
Sometimes I see your face,
The stars seem to lose their place
Why must I think of you?
Why must I?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?
Why would you want me to?
And what would it mean to say,
That, 'I loved you in my fashion'?
What would be true?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?
Gorgeous.
Uma obra prima
Фантастика!
2024 me still here hardcore police sting fan from 10 years old
Ism 52 nowww.this version❤❤❤

What a performance this is❤
Hermosas voces bendiciones
Très émouvant ❣👍👌🎼🎶❣🌹🌹🌹
goodalike voice.......sooo beautiful
La música es magia celestial.
Ana has the most beautiful voice 😊
Nope he was ...bewildered by this.
i love the english people and musics
❤ Ane
I love the way Sting reacts to other people singing his songs... He's like: mmm... will they be worth it.
More like...I never even thought about that!
La música es vidad y amor bendiciones
I like Sting for a long time, since i was a child. And today, i'm a father and still follow and like him...
Sting is good because his father was a milkman........
Big greeting from Egypt
I think the norwegian girls are all very pretty, so i had to think about this, the Violin player is pretty also, and they all sound so beautiful, with different color hair and everything, i listened to Ane Brun's other songs and this is he 1:51 r BEST song!!!!!!!!
wondeful song
Wow, wow wow❤❤❤
Just lovely.
Wow
Are there ways to purchase this music? I love it.
No one can sing it like Sting ❤️
Lovely
No worries ole Tadys headed there as well!
Wheres Billy Idol man! ...he should have dedicated.. "Flesh for Fantasy" for all of Stings flings in every gig!!!
It must be the greatest honour to hear your own magnificent song sung in such a beautiful interpretation especially at a function to honour your music.
Love it
She is underrated because she sings sad songs..
Miss @lindsey sterling and @u2 here ❤❤❤
I know why i should cry... and i am.
Not my style, but a great interpretation/ version of a beautiful song...
Angels are never dark. Only goodness allows a few to become one. Darkness or spiritual ignorance, which the majority manifest, is of the devil, who is blind to the good and only jealous of the happiness of it.
Sting could write 12 songs on an album that would own the airwaves but he likes the jazz shit
They basically went and made a new song . Definitely not sting.
Great voices, so charismatic. I have a bit of the problem with the arrangement in the beginning, it doesn't feel as grounded as it should (Ironic seeing as the song is about not being grounded in the first place, but I can't describe it any other way)
Overall really solid rendition, love it...of course nothing can top the Berlin version, that one is just too godlike.
I know the reason stings father wanted him to go out to sea?
I wonder why the song skips the word "star", sounds like it is replaced by 'they' , like 'they seems to loose their place ' instead of 'The stars seem to lose their place'..I think Sting would not like that .
I doubt if there's someone who performs this song so beautifully as Sting does. The ladies up there have all remarkable voices, but unfortunately this is not enough to perform a hauntingly song like that. Everything matches in the original: Melody, lyrics and the mesmerizing way Sting sings "Why Should I Cry for You".
Well, it made him emotional so its safe to say they nailed it. Ane Brun is an incredible artist and this was a beautiful homage to Sting.
Fantastic song. Unfortunate version.
why have, why should, why.....................what would be true.
cheeeeeese!
Well...that’s killed the party mood.
we should cry for the arctic ice. i wandered 450km by feet- FOLKS THIS EARTH IS NOT BIG. ITS EASIER TO HAVE AN BAD IMPACT ON THIS PLANET EARTH DUE TO ITS SIZE- please consider. around the equator its only 40.000km. most of our cars can do easy 200.000km. not to talk abot 40.000km. because we dont walk by feet, we use cars, aeroplanes, trains- we lost our knowledge to really know how SMALL AND FRAGILE THIS EARTH IS. we should really consider its size when letting companies decide how much impact we can have on this little, but wonderful world.
You can see on Sting's face that he is uncomfortable with the song, because it talks about his father...
Na. He was uncomfortable because they singers butchered it with their chipmunk voices. I hated it .
@@winkipinky I really enjoy this song, but the slowed melody was comparable to a lullaby. If you look at other concerts he attended where performers covered his songs, he only really seemed to enjoy them if there was a "heart-felt soul" sound to it
@@winkipinky Ane Brun is a vocal genius (middle blond singer). Very respected artist lol.
@@winkipinky he just wears a poker face most of the time
Then why did he publish the song?
It's an odd choice to perform this song for Sting. The song is about his difficult relationship with his father, not knowing how to mourn when he passed away. He feels unable to show grief and he feels uncomfortable about it. Unable to show feelings of love for his son, fatherless Sting askes himself: why should I cry for you? It is such a deep song and very personal. Now he sees three women singing this song for him and I think the arrangement missed the point. Just don't...
totally agree.. especially that Sting has stopped playing this song on stage for years.. notice how Trudie tap Sting's shoulder to console him in the end..
Agree.... too weird and awkward.
A woman can also relate to this song, no? A woman can also draw meaning from it, no? A woman can also have a difficult relationship with her father, no? Song meanings can be also in how the listener perceives, through the lens of their life experiences; Sting knows that.
Anyway, this is an exquisite, evocative performance and arrangement.
They did not do the song justice is my only complaint. nobody but sting could.
I totally agree, I think his face says he didnt like it that much either. The women are singing it like to show off their voices rather than showing the emotion of the lyrics. I just didnt feel it was right
sometimes i see your face... the stars seem to lose their place...
Except for A Lennox and G Porter, Mr Summers does not seem to be impressed....
I thought the same thing. The lyrics were there, but the soul was missing.
In the case of The Tallest Man on Earth's version of Roxanne, Roxanne isn't even a good song to begin with, so he had very limited stuff to work with there, but yeah, it wasn't a great performance.
The face sting ..no liket sound
All songs are interpretive.
I still think besides Annie Lennox the other performances are nit good at all.
No not even Lennox performance was good. I have seen this Polar prize ceremony a couple of times and am normally impressed by the perfomers but this year 2017 was not even mediocre.
those Swedish girls!!!!!!!
Ane Brun is Norwegian
not that feel expression but good
its not easy to have your feet stuck in cement.
😅😅👍
Very underrated song, I love it. But this performance? Not impressed!
Firstly, Sting is a fine looking man, just as handsome as he wants to be.
Secondly, I didn’t care for this version, I don’t think he did either... I could be wrong... but his face says it all.
This totally lacked Sting's rich harmonic textures. I tried to comment this before, but apparently these control freaks can't accept constructive criticism. Its a shame that rich and famous people can't even do their homework. I could have done a better job covering this song, and I haven't even tried it yet.
Well. Do your cover and then we can talk. It easy to sit behind the computer and whrite crap.
Artists who performed in this concert really went the extra mile to shred to pieces most of Sting’s masterpieces. This was the worst of them, wait no! It was Jose Feliciano’s Every breathe you take.
Right!!! Jose🙈😂😅geeez! Yep, that evening must`ve been a torture for Sting!
Ghastly.
This is a beautiful song and i feel at a church listening old women singing. Sirry but its terrible...
Honestly, wrong choice of song! 0 raw emotion too over elaborated! Sting face tells everything! Just look at Gregory Porter cover you will see a way different reaction from him
Sting always look boring as f…, look at his wifes reaction instead. Gregory Porters stuff was great so was this.
I like Ane Brun & friends version better
Solo would be far better
Wow, this version is just awful. Completely boring. They managed to ruin my favorite Sting song. I can’t put my finger on it. I think it’s the complete lack of melody compared to the original.
butchered this gem
Oh for the love of God stop showing Sting. Distracting and off-putting!
they totally destroy the musicality and the essence of the song... for goodness sake who is the music director ... silly arrangements!!
Yep! Totally agree!
Yuckkkkkk
Truly terrible. Terrible the singers, the dresses, terrible this orchestral version. Sting, especially in the 'Live in Berlin', demonstrated the beauty of this song, but these three women are singers by mistake.
Luca Avellino: well it is to be rude behind the computer. I don't think you do better
This is my voice and my way (we are 'Practical Solution', a trio):

@@lucaavellino3031 "Singers by mistake"? They have all toured with Peter Gabriel but maybe he's also a singer by mistake? Regarding your performance; so booring, I fell asleep after 15 seconds. Maybe some elevator company would be interested?
My dear friend Bo-Göran Andréasson...
I'm sorry to have to repeat 'singers for mistake', but I must, they are so. Their tour with Peter Gabriel is a sad new, another sad new, another sign of musical bad taste so frequent in these times. But describe to us, Bo-Göran, the beauty of this performance: beauty of the voices - where? -, beauty of musical arrangement - where? -. Can you see that Sting is spine-chillied too? This song tells of his father! You're only a snob, my friend. Remember that you're speaking with an italian guy. Nothern people can teach us technology - perhaps -, not beauty. And you fell asleep always. Help yourself finding an elevator company for your eyelids and your brain, it's urgent. Or study a little, before speaking.
@@lucaavellino3031 First of all: I wouldn't call you my friend. My friends tend to be broad-minded, respectful and tolerant. That doesn't necessarily mean that you are a bad person. I'm sure that you have friends and people around you that have feelings for you. And for me feelings are what music is about, but how could this be described in words and technical terms? An artist can be technical skilled but what good is that if he/she can't convey emotions? I'm also old enough to realize that people are not all equal, we don't like the same things. But that doesn't have to mean that one is right and the other one is wrong, does it?
I'm sorry that you have such low thoughts of northern people and their feeling for beauty. I can assure you that we are very emotional even if we don't express and behave as theatrical as southern europeans.
Regarding your songs; I'm sorry but I don't feel anything when listening to them. The three "singers by mistake", however, I have had the great pleasure to see live, both together with Peter Gabriel and as solo artists.They all delivered a great performance and Jennie Abrahamssons duet "Don't give up" with Peter Gabriel was truly beautiful and genuin.
I don't know you but by your opinions you seem to be a rather self-righteous and prejudiced person. I can respect that you don't like them but calling them "singers by mistake" is so ignorant. But what do I know, I''m just a northern snob, technical skilled perhaps but unskilled in music and ignorant of beauty.
Nope.......this does not capture the heart and emotion that Sting put into this song......just my opinion, albeit, a very......very good opinion.
Horrible rendition
No...terrible...theyve really messed up this song...
