    This is for my brother Roy ✝️💔,…He passed on in 1987,…He would have been 67yrs old but he died at the age of 31yrs old ,…My poor Mom ✝️ cried & cried

    The first time I heard this song play in 1987, I couldn't stop crying and here I am in 2021 and still can't make it through the video without crying. Thank you Sting for bring this to the world's stage and all that you continue to do for Amnesty International.

      Joni wrote: "laughing and crying, it's the same release" .... The song is timeless ... Like his: "Fragile"... Wish it had Hornsby on the keys. What a combo THAT would be.

    When I was a teenager our English teacher introduced us to "Englishman in New York", "Russians" and this beautiful song. Through Sting we improved our vocabulary but more important, started thinking about the world...one of the greatest musicians ever. Beautiful man with a beautiful soul. Now I make my kids listen to Sting so they get to know what great music is. Love you Sting.

    It's over 30 years ago that as newly qualified teacher, I played this song to my students after reading a book set during the Pinochet regime in Chile. It's as sad and relevant today as it was then. What a sorry state our world is in. Have we learned nothing?

    Las canciones de Sting me encantan! Y esta canción la escuchaba en mi país (Colombia) tengo la oportunidad de escucharla en Chile y se siente un fuerte escalofrío! Después de tantos años de desaparecidos en este país! Que algún día descansen en paz todos aquellos que desaparecieron y sus familias!

    There are very few songs that reduce me to tears in this digital age but this is one of them.
    Until you've lost someone you love you can not know what he is talking about.
    Just the thought that you will never see them again is unbearable.
    They exist now only as a spirit.

    I still weep when I listen to this song. Four decades ago my best friend a young and brilliant labor lawyer and poet disappeared. His body was never found. Three decades ago I was abducted by military intelligence agents and detained for three months. Unlike my best friend and thousands of other desaparecidos I was surfaced and released. Members of my family, friends and comrades danced for me and saved me. Now a new dictatorship/dictator is emerging. The good fight is not over. Let's keep dancing, dancing, dancing. Dance with your wives, with your daughters, with your mothers and sisters..

    Its been over more than 40 year since our cousin got tortured to death at Villa Grimaldi. After his death our family had to flee Chile. We are spread out in the whole world. Just a month ago my mother saw his cousin (brother of the murdered one) for the first time over 40 years.
    His mother 'danced alone' for years after his death. Until she passed away in Australia 20 odd years ago.

      I feel you. One of the closest and most important persons in my life (my mom) still struggles not only with the poverty inherited by the right-wing policies specially for people that (for many reasons) cannot adjust to the labor market, but also with the trauma of terror, persecution and loss, to the point of having delusions and paranoia associated with it. She has even been living on the streets for a year, out of poverty and madness and I still don't have enough money to help her. I've heard she's not the only one. I have had to become used to live with a broken heart, in the face of many chileans, even young ones, who are still saying that either everything was justified, or that we should forget it already. How could we forget, if the wound is still alive, if there's still no guarantee that this will not happen again? I send you a hug from the distance, from your family's land, and from someone who is still part of that now invisible community that made us the target of selfish and powerful people to persecute and terrorize.

      I am son of the Chilean dictatorship,
      I was brought up as an obedient son,
      Never get into trouble,
      Let alone politics,
      Never saw or heard anything,
      Specially in the news,
      I was told we were in war with Marxism
      But also I was told that we were free,
      Nothing could have been further from the truth
      Thousand of my people dead, just because of their ideas, and also because of being poor,
      As a country, we have no appreciation for human life in every single way,
      But we are the “best economy in Latinoamérica”,
      Uneducated, physically and mentally ill,
      We are into a deep relationship with deception,
      We don’t want to see nothing that shows out purulent past,
      We are no longer citizens,
      Actually, we never were,
      Just consumers,

Chile fue un modelo para varios países. Lamentablemente en el camino se cometieron abominaciones que se cometen en cualquier dictadura y eso sí no es para admirar
