- A thousand years
A thousand years, a thousand more,
A thousand times a million doors to eternity
I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times
An endless turning stairway climbs
To a tower of souls
If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars,
The towers rise to numberless floors in space
I could shed another million tears, a million breaths,
A million names but only one truth to face
A million roads, a million fears
A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty
I could speak a million lies, a million songs,
A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time
But if there was a single truth, a single light
A single thought, a singular touch of grace
Then following this single point , this single flame,
The single haunted memory of your face
I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head
I may be numberless, I may be innocent
I may know many things, I may be ignorant
Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands
Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands
I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times
Reborn as fortunes child to judge anothers crimes
Or wear this pilgrims cloak, or be a common thief
Ive kept this single faith, I have but one belief
I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head
On and on the mysteries unwind themselves
Eternities still unsaid
til you love me

Who's still listening to this 2000 Sting classic in 2024?
Me! ✋🏾
Me
Me!!
Yep, right here. Still one of my favorite Sting songs. 🙋♂️
40 years ago i was in love with a girl of 16, i was 17. i got stupid and broke up with her. 8 years ago i got back in touch with her and sent her this song. She was speechless , and now we are back in love, awesome song
Nice story. Glad you were able to hook back up with your first love.
Wait really?! That’s awesome👏😎
wow that’s fate ✨
amazing story. my ex sent me this song and the judge sent him back to prison for violating the restraining order GOD BLESS
Lucky man
This is probably one of the best songs, EVER, in the history of moderm music. You are a genius Sting. Respect.
Hope you’re doing well friend
@@mookiestewart3776 I am, thanks!
11 fcking years. Wow. Much changed hasn't it?
@@DasAlienYota true, but good news are that i still agree with the 11 years ago version of myself.
@@diegomax ha!
This song was inspired by Sting’s love for Sufism and the great poet Rumi. Rumi was born in modern Afghanistan and then traveled to Turkey. He is known to be one of the greatest poets ever. This is why this song so mystical and philosophical.
wow how interesting.
Thank you as a Muslim I didn't know it
Molana or Rumi was a Persian poet; it just happens that he died in Turkey. His ideas, however, cross the boundaries of time and place.
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field; I’ll meet you there!
When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is TOO FULL to talk about...”
❤️🌹
I feel he could be my soul mate just by looking at him cuz same lol
My father loved this song and stings music. He died suddenly at 38. I was 10. That was 20 years ago. Time doesnt heal. I play this when I want to remember him.
Sorry for your loss. A parent's love is endless, beyond time and space; so this wonderful song definitely takes a whole different meaning. Stay strong.
A warm hand for tou ❤
I'm sorry for your loss. That's so sad. But did you know the Bible says there's going to be a resurrection? Google "Can the dead really live again" and you might be surprised at what you find. Take care.

2023 and I still love this song. One of my favorite Sting albums
😮
sting is one of the only people on earth who could pull off singing the same two notes over and over. it's just the way he does it, and his voice, that makes it so haunting and flavorful. This is so beautiful.
It's only one note: longing. And he nailed it!
Until he gets to his “therapeutic” bridge!
Agree
Very true that 👌
Man, I've been searching this song almost my entire life, I'm weeping from the memories. A void has been filled. Thank you Sting.
First time I listened to it was September 1999, I had a preview of the album.....but this song crashed my heart and my soul......I am still thrilled when today (june 2024) I' m stll listening to it....
My dad used to play this for me as a kid and now hearing this at 23 brings me a feeling I of that I just can’t explain, this shit is timeless
I never understood this song till I fell in love and lost that love. Then my eyes were opened to what he was saying,not just the words,but the emotion,the energy that went into it. No other song has hit me like this one has.thanks Sting...
I will always love this song. A man told me once he was searching for a woman without a face. That person he is still probably looking for her. Even though he maybe with someone and if he still feels empty he is looking for his own Soul not knowing that it's always been there all the time. Love❤
here's to you reading and listening from the year 3021...a thousand years from now....I hope humanity finally found a way to live in love and peace....
Here here
And may lost loves be found.
May souls be reunited.
And may love reign supreme.
Sting brightens the light in the light. A beautiful man of humanity. Artist in wisdom. Plays from a true heart he generously shares endlessly.
Unfortunately humanity will have destroyed itself long before then. But it’s a beautiful sentiment.
In a thousand years from now people completely consumed all the fossil fuels, fucked up ireversibile the climate had numerous civil wars that reduced global population 100 times and Google had to cut down the servers that stored old RUclips comments and unofficial music videos.
I love this song. I especially love the end where he sings "'Til you love me". That part is absolutely breathtaking!
I owned this album when it was first released. I listen to it all the time. This one just happens to be my favorite song on the whole album. It’s just so beautiful and his voice is so peaceful that when I close my eyes I am taken to a place of tranquility and peace.
Lol my family owned this album on cassette when it came out. Amazing how this is the first track on the album huh??
I owned this cd when it was first released, as well. And, I listened to it over and over again, too. Now it’s like coming home when I listen to any of the songs from this album but this song particularly.
I ❤ this song too.😊
The production and sound is brilliant. So is Sting.
It's a great album. His blending of sounds are unique.
The song is a bit magical and haunting.
It's different from anything else he ever did.
I can only compare it to some tunes on Peter Gabriel's album " So " from 1986 which should have gotten album of the year, and was produced by Daniel Lanois. They stand by themselves in music.
Who is creating and writing music like this now?
Nobody. That's why we're listening to this instead of most computer pablum being produced today called " art ".
...I can listen to this song a thousand years a thousand times...
So..you're sick ;) we are..
😆😍💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Sting and Lady Di made me loving England. What a great Poet and Philosopher.
I miss the 90's and 2000's so much. My mom used to play this often back in the day. Beautiful song. It makes me miss My Grandpa Gill too.
This song takes me to places where I feel free where no one can hurt me.
same
Same!!!!!!!!!
This song puts everything in perspective.
1000 yrs and I still love you.
Still listening in 2020, beautiful and timeless song. Just got to love it.
That bass line and stings smooth voice. Just damn!
I love Sting I saw him in concert for save the music he serenaded us out of the arena with this mail 😍 I love this song
@@shanettaholmes833 that's so cool. Kids these days wouldnt know good music if it were to "sting" them in the ass lol
lol 😄
Shanetta Holmes yes guys
He has one of the most soul sounding voices I’ve ever heard over the 58 years I’ve been blessed to be allowed to use my ears to search for excellence and presence , he has an ability to reach into your heart and and hold you with music that makes you want more every time. ❤️
So true bro ❤😍
Well said
..."blessed to be allowed to use my ears to search for excellence and presence" - beautifully said, with grace and humility.
Sting's fans are intelligent people, and it's a pleasure to read the comments.
This, in my humble opinion, is the greatest love song ever. Gives me chills everytime.
I agree!!! This one and Protection by Massive Attack.
I just heard this song for the first time ever tonight and I must say that I would largely agree with you.
It is one of the greatest, i agree.
The greatest Love song is "something" by the Beatles
It's the greatest love song. It's transcendent of time and space and reason. It's infinite love from God to you.
Timeless. Ethereal. A Thousand Thanks, to you STING.
It's a haunting, beautiful love song.
It's recorded with deep tone, simple in instruments, with his harmonies topping it off in genius.
Not played enough, or known by too many.
Just brilliant.
Lub
Surrenders curricullum unheard by of.
Sting's music is layered with artistic beauty. For the majority of the populace his songs are mere pop daliances, however there are those of us who appreciate his creative and articulate song writing poetry as in this song. He articulates in words what we feel but are unable to express. A true gift!
A thousand years, a thousand more
A thousand times a million doors to eternity
I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times
An endless turning stairway climbs
To a tower of souls
If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars
The towers rise to numberless floors in space
I could shed another million tears, a million breaths
A million names but only one truth to face
A million roads, a million fears
A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty

A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time
But if there was a single truth, a single light
A single thought, a singular touch of grace
Then following this single point, this single flame
The single haunted memory of your face
I still love you

A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves

'Til you love me
the lyrics are so poetic aren't they
Yes but remember Bruce Lee when he quote' Don't look at the finger pointing or u will miss all the beauty beyond
Poetry....
Heavenly...... Time.
The Moon, The Stars, The Sun.... Galaxy..... Time.
The best song ever made about reincarnation and love.
This song really takes me to places, whenever I listen to it, I just feel as if everything'll be alright in the end. Pure bliss. Thank you, Sting.
this has to be one of sting's most beautiful and most underrated songs...i rarely hear it played on the radio but the lyrics of it are so beautiful and timeless.
Ninjacatprincess too good for radio.and would destract drivers.a sit down song to drift off with.
I'd be honored if some Sting fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK and WHY SHOULD I CRY FOR YOU on my YT channel in tribute to the master of lyricism and composition. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace.
When a person uses a different form of communication such as music in a good way, it makes them look superior than the rest of us. As a musician I like the fact that Sting didn’t use a standard key on this one. An absolutely stunning piece of music...
this is one of Sting"s highest emotional experiences musically. The feeling is multifaceted that you feel like you're on an emotional ride at Space Mountain at Disneyland .
So much truth in this song.
I didn't know precisely the magnitude of this song when I heard when I heard it on CD when I was 6yo in 2000. Now in 2022 it makes more sense it's about lessons upon lessons for millenia. The truth in reincarnation or possibly one life at a time is astonishing. God bless and repent for sin and do good to your self and others.
Mesmerizing song. Hypnotic. One of Stings all time best.
A very Eastern sounding track. It comes across rather like a mantra or a meditation ~ as much Eastern music does. He does it well! The lack of changes makes the chorus seem especially beautiful ♥
2019. I am typing this on my 22nd birthday. I first heard this song back in 2000, I was 3 years old, and since then I have fallen in love with Sting’s songs-it has made a great impression on my childhood. Thank you dad, thank you for showing me so many great artists!
Same bro im 19
This has followed me throughout the ages. It's beautiful! I hold no memory of anyone until now. My butterfly.
Just wow, I'm absolutely crazy about this song. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
💚🕊️✨Thankyou Sting much gratitude 💗
I can't describe what this song makes me feel ...... I just can't.
I know what you mean. One of my favorite places to listen to this is when I am in traffic (particularly the 405 freeway) at night in Los Angeles. With my sun roof cracked on a hot summer night.
+Speaktok
Terrific mental portrait you just painted.
i agree with you.
Michael Jackson
Javad Gul wow me too
...a Soul yelling for help from a very dark place...a sad Song!
One of the Best Artists of MY Lifetime! Thank you Sting!!
everything about this man, his music & choice of wordz is magnetic !
feelin this !!
Raina Young so true!
Raina Young I agree
d best ever!!!!! Sting......
Your right about that love his music
Truly an amazing song.....Sting is the man
A great song from the equally great Sting. Love this.
Only if the people we truly love could hear these powerful words when we communicate them....A thousand years a thousand more I still love you .........
Perfect beat. Perfect lyrics. Perfect soundtrack to evoke beautiful memories. TY Sting.
Everytime I hear this song it brings me into deep thought and reflection. It just gently takes me away to another place...
+eric izzett As for me, it reminds me of the movie Red Planet.
The beginning faded into the end
+eric izzett It's like a musicial marijuana
+eric izzett Yes! So much so.
Ray Rico Absolutely!
One of the many things I love about this song, but sting in general: you can see it when you read through the comments section of a sting song. It’s just pure music. He is arguably the greatest songwriter ever. It conjures imagery, memories, emotions, and best of all, no auto tune or predictable record label decision making. I consistently shuffle between all of his albums, mainly dream of the blue turtles through brand new day.
Gotta love the declaration from Sting in this epic art piece @ 3:56
"I may be numberless, I may be innocent
I may know many things, I may be ignorant
Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands
Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands
I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times
Reborn as fortune's child to judge another's crimes
Or wear this pilgrim's cloak, or be a common thief
I've kept this single faith, I have but one belief
I still love you
I still want you?
Boy did the pre-2000's artist release some great music.
My favorite song when I was a kid. My imagination ran wild while listening to this in the car.
Mine too lol seems like this comment section is filled mostly with us millennials who’s parents used to play this song for us
💚💚Greatness in the voice and wisdom in the heart💚💚
Such brilliant lyrics.
I remember Sting in The Bride, looking so devilishy handsome, dark and brooding...that's how I think of him when I hear songs like this or read his lyrics. It's not difficult for me to imagine him at a writing table, an oil lamp's light on his face, on the page before him on the table, while he toils over the words.
It's not the words that haunt, but it's the haunt that compels him to write.
Hauntingly Beautiful, Powerful...Sting is a Genius!!
This is my favorite Sting solo album. He reallyoutdid himself on this one. Each song tells a distinct story, all the stories are interrelated. and the end song "Brand New Day" brings us back to the beginning. "Concept" albums can be tricky but with Sting's brilliance, his expertise, his golden worlds, and his outrageous 7/8ths and 12/8s. Sting, you truly are the master and in my opinion this is the most incredible lp, You must be so proud of Coco, she's just like you!
Love You More
cant get enough of the beat and lyrics .outstanding
This concert altered my mood for over a month, and whenever I needed to re-up, the album would take me right back.
🙌🙌🙌 this is awesome
Sting is one of the best song writers in the last 30 years.
That the song is Azerbaijani song and this music was first time performed in 1992 by group "Yuxu" song is name Ulu Tanrı, in English means "Great God"

Exactly sir
Талантливейший композитор,музыкант-творческого Вам лолголетия !!!!
Wow. Gorgeous. Flowing, sinuey, melodic, harmonic... endless timeless a thousand years more
I wish i had a gent that wrote a song like this for me. Right now im single n celibate for 8 years so i sing it tp someone i havent met yet but hope i do meet before i die.10-10-21 Thanks Sting. this entire album is good.
Wow! I never tire of this mystical wonder of words and sound, woven fabulously together!
I was 24 when we meet not one disappointment you were always there. Thank you
This song, music, words, voice "like galaxies in my head" I cannot forget...
All of Stings music, is so wonderful. Especially this one!
I might be the only one but sting got even better when he went solo. Great use of instruments to describe time and space in this song. Of course his smooth voice adds grace to his songs.
You're not the only one.
quite possibly the most talented singer/songwriter of the last 50 years!
I get such a sense of peace and calm listening to most of Stings songs
I guess you have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Entropy inside my brain can only be ceased with trap and dub riddim
Sting is not only a poet, he's a prophetic poet, "I'm mad about you", how would he know, it's all about me, so exact
It's March the 18th 2019 and I'm still listening to the music of Sting.. Love the music of this guy. Don't know where this album 'Brand New Day' :-dissapeared to, must buy it again. Thanks to whomevever for sharing it x
not simple song, not simple singer... instead meaningful lyrics with beautiful singing and voice........I love your singing Sting for 7 years
Great memories. This song was played during my first dance with my husband at our wedding reception.
A Thousand Years, the worlds most befitting love song...every time I listen to it , it set's my soul awash in gratitude. He truly has a gift.
I've heard this song a hundred times before today, and I've always loved its melody and lyrics. Today, however, it really wrapped itself around my heart with its beauty and intensity. I became the muse of a poet, the beloved of a wanderer of the ages. And then, just like that, the song was over, and I was left with my desk, my paperwork, and reality, having to pick up the pieces and go back to whatever my life was before. But every other song felt hollow. It was like going back into shadow after seeing the sun, or like being told "I love you" and never wanting to hear anything else...
princesskyrie very interesting comment.
Patricia Varga inspired comment
Princess wrote: "a wanderer of the ages" ~ then back to "reality." Perfect way of putting it. Beautiful description.
exactly here! every other song felt hollow... Perfect! It is all about love. Nothing else matters.
What a beautiful words.
... the first time I heard it (1993) I cried for joy because I thought it was too appropriate ... great job! ... would have loved to be part of the composition ... hope Sting brings many more similar songs..
..als ich es zum ersten Mal hörte, musst ich weinen vor Freude, weil ich es zu passend fand... klasse Arbeit! ...wäre zu gerne bei der Komposition dabei gewesen... hoffe, Sting bringt noch viele ähnlich Songs.
This song is from 1999 indeed
I can't believe I found this I use to have a cd as a very young kid and it had this song and for so many years I have been looking and finally found it
A thousand loves, a thousand hurts a thousand no,s but I will in a thousand years still love u
Since it came out, still, thousand times and many more love this song! Unique, universal!
This song makes me feel I've known my wife before, now, and I'll know her again. Every life I've lived, I loved her and every life I'll live, I'll love her until the end of time and beyond.
Amazing
I know it's been nearly 4 years but I must say...Great song, great artist, great job of uploading it to youtube....gotta love this song, if one likes Sting...! I do! Anyone else?
What enchanted,magestic mountain did this man climb to get these lyrics? Dam!!
the power of God....marijuana
@@muhammadharoon2779 lol
This song is haunting, love's light never dims.
This version is my favorite!! sigh its just soo good
+exodus What other version is there?
+Jambavan Dasa Live in Italy; Tuscany, Italy, September 11, 2001.
My husband loved this as do I. Danced prayer and he took his last breath to this song. It is sacred to me.
Every time I listen to this song it takes me far away to this world of sheer poetry and pure feelings. I don't understand why especially this song does it, for I have many favourite songs and even more by Sting. Somehow this song stays with me and seems to lighten my spirit.......
Awsome song, awsome lyrics..... I still love you, i still want you..
One of my all time Sting favorites...
First heard this in 2003, Searching searching...... Caught this song today. Too happpppyyyy......
I was at his concert he came on for an on cor and the whole audience was quite and I shouted A Thousand Years.....Sting started singing it like he heard me. I know he probably didn't but I will never forget that epic moment! This song just pulls at my heart strings.
2021 and this song still makes me feel like I'm in another galaxy
Quand ce CD est sorti, cette chanson m'a marquée, Il a été cassé, et j'ai fini par l'oublier. Là je l'ai retrouvé avec toutes les émotions qui ce sont gravées à cette époque. Il est sublime pour moi.
my favorite tune from Sting..
My favorite music from Sting BEAUTIFUL!!!!
For all the soldiers who died in all the wars they did not start, protecting the ones they love.
Close your eyes and fade away to somewhere Beautiful.
Underrated artist and I think this is my favorite song of his. Timeless and beautiful. Thank you Sting
My late sibling bought me this album in 2000 😭😭😭 oh how much I miss her now hearing this song.Its been 18 years I m without her. R.I.P Sis 💖💖💖💖
😥. In time you will reunite.
@@brettservin4395 😢
We moved away from one Region to Another in 2000.
This album helped me a Ton to get over that Trauma.
Sting and the Police RULE!
I love listening to this when its winter and dark outside, when you feel this winter depression caused by too little light and too much darkness..
Thank you Sting for this 6:02 of despair destroying, hope giving, fear eliminating, man the fu#k up and love your woman song !!
This song is Gorgeous! Have it on repeat! ❤
