Sting, Shape Of My Heart, Lyrics

“Shape of My Heart” is a song by British musician Sting, released in August 1993 as the fifth single from his fourth solo album, Ten Summoner’s Tales. The song was co-written by guitarist Dominic Miller and features harmonica played by Larry Adler. It’s known for its distinctive guitar riff and has been used in several films and sampled by various artists over the years.
Sting explained that the song tells the story of a card player, a gambler who plays not to win but to understand the "mystical logic in luck, or chance; some kind of scientific, almost religious law". The gambler is described as a philosopher, seeking to comprehend the deeper truths of life through the game of cards.
Despite not initially reaching the top 50 in the UK, “Shape of My Heart” has become a pop classic and is one of Sting’s most closely associated works with his solo career1. It has been covered and sampled by artists across various genres, demonstrating its lasting influence and appeal.
