I love this song
"A gentleman will walk but never run" - Words to live by for nearly 40 years.
Aint nobody got time for that
I'd be honored if some Sting fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal RUclips performances of ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK and WHY SHOULD I CRY FOR YOU in tribute to the master of lyricism and composition. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace and stay safe in the '020s.
I kept it in my notes!!!
“Manners maketh man” - good advice! It’s also a quote in a movie!!!
yup. let it go, you will get yours.

Such a underrated song😭

Hi❤🎉
Every instrument in this track was chosen for maximum SMOOTHNESS
Waow
cant beat some good sex, sax too, lol
Yeah… That soprano sax is killer..😎
Including Sting’s voice which itself is a musical instrument.
Hi Dan, what are you doing here? but,
the instruments are awesome combined.
This is just a masterpiece, no matter what they say.

You know what they say, "Oldies but goldies"
It's not a song but a masterpiece. It's exactly 37 years. Who's still listening to this masterpiece and a hit in 2024? Sting is a legend forever.
Me.
We do!
it's not "exactly" 37 years yet, actually... the song came out near the end of 1987...

Seems like I am.
Even Japanese people listen to it.
One thing I know for sure is that,this masterpiece would never be forgotten, not even after the end of time.
This song is like wine, its quality is increasing day by day..
This song is just masterpiece. Branford really tops it of for me.
I was just thinking the exact same thing
AND one of the rare videos of Sting with hair!
viva la fregna
Q
damn i love the jazz in this song

Son of Yaiqab Branford Marsalis

1:54 辺りから始まる Branford Marsalis の Soprano Sax が超カッコいい！
ひょうきんな音がするという自分の既成概念をぶち破ったキレイな音、Soprano Saxならではの高音域も素晴らしい。私は、この曲で Soprano Sax に目覚めました。
Perfect to listen in a rainy day

great comment!
There won't be Englishmen or New York by 2050 or 2150... Or white people for that matter... :(
Sting is the definition of pure talent and makes the best masterpieces
2024 and still one of the most influential, inspiring, and talented artists to come out of the UK.❤
My english teacher gave us a listening test in 2012 and he played this song.
William if you're out there, you were an amazing teacher

I expect Sting was an amazing teacher as well...
@@Raven4508 Well, he DID write "Don't stand so close to me" :|
Same here but mine was in 2016
you know what's funny is one of my french classes had us listen to "Africain a paris" lol. i didnt even know this was the original version at the time.
The 20" seconds from 1'53" to 2'13" are among that greatest in pop music history. Branford Marselis on the saxophone pushed it all over the top.
Encore hier un jeune homme anglais vous a rendu hommage en devenant champion du monde au Maddison square en entrant avec votre musique, bravo monsieur 👏🏾
I can still see Sting as Dr. Frankenstein and Phil Hartman as The Monster on SNL.
Aspinal ?
I was an English man in New York listened to this every day. Thanks Sting
That's awesome. I have ancestors from Yorkshire but I am a Mayflower American. He has such fashion sense. This is how one knows he's European and not American.

I love this line

Is there like a deeper meaning behind this line?
@@nikotakai8796 idk about deeper but it's basically just saying a gentleman will have enough control of his emotions to walk away from a provocation from an enemy but will never run away from the conflict.

Written and sung just like an educated unbiased Englishman. Just oozes classss❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's about one certainly!

indeed he is a genius

Most definitely, the sound is iconic.
Branford Marsalis gets plenty, no worries- he is a very well respected. If you listen to the rest of this album, you can hear more of him, and how much fun he and Sting had creating songs together (along with some other musical geniuses). There's even a funny beginning to Shadows In The Rain where he says "Wait, wait- what key is it in?"
" A gentleman will walk but never run" ❤

About 30 years ago, I used to live in Manhattan (NYC) and it was such a wonderful time. Abraços dos EUA.
Aspinall's fight performance was as smooth as this song, it's like he set his pace to it. Guy's got good taste
Yooo that's why I came here too. Was just watching him walk to the octagon while this song played

I wish that pop musicians could bring back this style. Not that we don't like music today but, I can listen to this alot more without getting tired of it.
I know exactly what you mean. A lot of the stuff that comes out is processed to death and just rubbish in my ears and/or is more about an artist's image than sound. Some music is definitely decent but I don't think this type of musicality that was abundant in the charts from the 60s till the 90s will have a resurgence in the foreseeable future...
The fact that it took this long for a label like Frontiers Records to step up and actually bring back some classic rock/pop back to the West proves that the industry is permanently crippled. Music has been homogenized and cheapened to hell and back, and the general consumers have simply lapped it up without any regard for musicianship. It's just a crowd mentality that sadly persists to this very day. Very disheartening.
Music now involves tons and tons of marketing, as was discovered in the 80's or maybe even before. Cyndi Lauper had one great PR machine behind her for the time, but she also put out great music. Now, all you need is a great PR machine to succeed which is why shitty rap artists are a dime a dozen. They all make use of the "G.O.A.T." mentality to make themselves known.
And the general consensus for music nowadays is that people think it's processed shit, they just don't bother to broaden their horizons and *seek out* music rather than let it fall into their lap. Crowd mentality will never get old, and good musicians must know how to work that crowd to their advantage, just like how punk rock became a lifestyle.
And music is evolving, going through a shitty phase. I look forward to music in the future.
>>>>>>>"Not that we don't like music today..."
Speak for yourself ONLY. I stopped listening to music years ago because it stinks.
+SuperCruiser72 You must have such broad horizons if you think that all music is terrible these days. Try looking for music you like instead of complaining about what's marketed to you.
80s and 90s New York hit different
What a choice by aspinall. A legend.
Jon Jones. The real champ.
Can't help but dislike Jon tho
Surprised by the amount of people who came here due to Aspinalls walkout
"Takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile."
My favorite line of all time.
Yeah, a much needed thought these dark days...
Chris Tucker right ?
ruclips.net/video/CixcfHj4LRk/видео.html
Chris Tucker what about a woman?
The elderly English gent in the video was Quentin Crisp, who suffered a lot of ignorance and was victimized, but never vengeful, only polite. He was an openly gay man, and the author of The Naked Civil Servant, among other books; he was often reviled and persecuted as a young man, and he moved to NYC for his older years. I worked for his literary agent and had the pleasure of meeting him once and talking with him on the phone many times.
One of the best songs ever written. Elegance, style, jazz, saxophone, lyrics, black and white video. I always ask myself how is it possible to make a song with sophisticated melody like this, when there is a melody inside other melodies and in the end we have a masterpiece.Sting has a total musical taste , his songs are the best, Fields of gold, Seven days, When we dance, It’s probably me, Shape of my heart, They dance alone, Roxanne.
And of course there are so much more. We can count and count. I love him, his music stays with me during all my life.
Detto
I absolutely agree with you Svetka TV
Sting is an absolute genius but my most favourite of all his songs is "Fragile" - beautiful words to a beautiful melody. I would love one day to write as good a song!
This sounds more like an oboe than a saxophone so it’s an oboe.
@@JonahMobarakcan claim its sounds like an oboe, it's still a saxophone though
I'll admit I'm here for Quentin. I have never liked Sting, but this song is a gorgeous masterpiece. I get shivers each time.
Tarantino?
@@iria2663 Almost. "Crisp." 3:47
今聴いても色褪せず素晴らしいですね。

Yes, because they used proper bloody instruments. Most songs suck now because musicality has been lost. it's only the obscure bands that are actually good, like Kaleo.
Yes it does yes yes

İ have been listening to this non stop
Yes. When I was young and this song came out I couldn't appreciate the lyrics like now because being born and raised in Germany I had no notion of the underlying message of the song. Loved the music but today I love this song even more for what it represents.

This song is about to get alot more views because of Aspinall coming out to this tonight.
I used to listen to this song when I was single mother with a baby with no house. We went from house to house. But sometimes I put on this song and I would dance around the room with my daughter and forget everything. She would smile whole the song. We would laugh so much. This song remembers me that I need nothing but love to be happy. Its a feeling. ❤️
wish you the best
Beautiful story, hope you guys are doing better now, safer. Like the other comment, wish you both the best.
Thank you. We are doing wel now. I just come back sometimes to remember I don’t need materialistic things to experience happiness and to remind myself to always stay humble and kind to everyone. ❤️

Ha! This is a very 1990s song. That brief period 1989 to 1999 when many songs were low key but well made. Many were movie sound track, credits songs or easy listening.
Simon guey... 👍
U gay?
Nobody realizes who the older man in the video is…Quentin Crisp. He’s the other Englishman in NY. Sting salutes him.
Most Englishmen over the age of 60 know who Quentin Crisp is.
Tom Aspinall! You did it!
The best thing about this song is the message:
*_Be yourself no matter what they say..._*
Dam right
"Be yourself, everyone else is taken"
@@TacticalGhost007 that is very true
This song has to be one of the most chilling songs ever.

Yes Tom lad is right future heavyweight champ
My parents took me to see Sting in concert at the end of the 80s. I was maybe 8. When he sand this song, the lights, the crowd, the beauty of his voice... Unforgettable.
Wasn't born in the 80s (I know it wasn't the best time), but man it would've been nice to go to a Sting concert around that time. His music's + The Police is just so good
Hello ✋
I was born in 90 and never got to see him live. You're making me jealous.
I've seen Sting on stage only once.. in his production of The Last Ship a musical he wrote, directed and starred in, a few years ago.
Very interesting and impressive, but I would love to have seen/heard him in his younger years.
@Stella nice story and well parents, take care of her daughters taste ;)
There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them
Ok
Are u the same guy from message in a bottle? Coz same bro lol
What a beautiful and nostalgic song!
Old song, but still a GREAT ONE!!!! 😊❤.... And that's right: be yourself, no matter what they say! 💪
"be yourself no matter what they say"
you're right
They just don't make music like this anymore. I'm only 18 but I can remember my parents playing sting when I was a child and thank god! Because now I appreciate good music!
Same with my 26-years-old brother. I feel sorry about who doesn't have anybody to show them those songs.
Çisem Usta, don't feel sorry. My parents listen to shitty music, but I managed to listen to good one like this. Kids these days can pretty much be autodidact, they can find good music to listen all by themselves.
But people teach them shitty music as good music. They don't have too many options to choose in that way. I mean, I saw lots of people who think Lovefool is JB's song, not The Cardigans...
Çisem Usta Bull. There are plenty of options. You have the internet, therefore no excuse not to explore different artists.
I agree with Jurek009. "Love Me" is not JB's song either. It was originally written by Natalie Burke, if I remember correctly and it was used in the sims 2 game. Nobody told me that. I found out all by myself. The conclusion is you don't have to listen to the shitty music people teach you to!
be yourself no matter what they say
I never heard this song until Tom Aspinall walked out to this song tonight for his UFC fight i had to look it up
"Confront your enemies and avoid them when you can, a gentleman will walk but never run" one of the best quotes ever
yes... and the enemies should learn that quote as well...

Does anyone else think that Sting has an almost mystical sound to most of his songs. Something about his voice just sounds so smooth.
Yeah, something otherworldly about his voice, definitely.
Agreed, he deals with deep issues on a large scale, which creates deep sounding music.
Yee-yeah.He's a poet, who also sings, plays a mean Bass guitar.
He's my favorite musician since the 80's.😎
Very true
素晴らしい曲です何故かパワーが戻って来ます❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤昔大好きなイケメンの男性を思い出します
Esta canción me la mostró mi abuelo, es la canción que siempre me recuerda a él, me gusta mucho ❤
I suffered bullying for 7 years and this song accompanied me. I repeated to myself before going to school be yourself no matter what they said. They are really wise and strong words that you have to reach a very low point in your life to understand. if I did that in front of my enemies. when I could but I followed the advice of this song I ignored their comments and passed by them smiling like a true gentleman THANK YOU STING
Now you stand tall with your head held high, with dignity and hopefully feeling better
You know who the song is about right & what he suffered in his life? The guy is actually in the film.

INCREDIBLE Classic!
My favorite line is, "Gentleness, sobriety, are rare in this society".
Thank you, Sting, for giving us this song!
😂 positive I'm 70 , and I like this, and too much more
I love the song, the jazzy instrumentation is so c o o l smooth with his walk in the snow. The right players for the right job. 😊❤👍👍👍👍👍
I remember listening to this song when I used to live in Finland. All my friends had it memorized and would ask me what he meant with each line. And all I could think was... "I only remember the chorus" :) but after a year of people asking i had the whole song down. Such a good song.

Hey Mark, nice to see you here, too!
I don't take coffee, I take tea, my dear
I like my toast done on one side
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an Englishman in New York
See me walking down Fifth Avenue
A walking cane here at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I'm an Englishman in New York
Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
If "manners maketh man" as someone said
He's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
You could end up as the only one
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
At night a candle's brighter than the sun
Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than a license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run
If "manners maketh man" as someone said
He's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien)
Be yourself no matter what they say (I'm an Englishman in New York)
Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien)
Be yourself no matter what they say (I'm an Englishman in New York)
Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien)
Be yourself no matter what they say (I'm an Englishman in New York)
Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien)
Be yourself no matter what they say (I'm an Englishman in New York)
Be yourself no matter what they say
Agree..... He's the "HERO" one day
