You know him from the police and if you don’t you should listen to them
They have listened to the Police.
@@sheilaholmes8455 Thanks I thought so I just can’t remember what song it was or songs
Every little thing she does is magic and Every breath you take.
Message in a bottle was a big hit
They also reacted to Don't Stand So Close
Sting is a legend. His catalogue is DEEP. “Desert Rose” is a gem. I use it to test out speakers I might want to buy. It wraps you in gorgeous sound.
Yes, definitely do Desert Rose!
I loooove Desert Rose! It has such a haunting quality!
Sting is a wonderful artist. His work with The Police was legendary and his solo work is filled with honesty. Other songs to check out: If You Love Somebody Set Them Free, We'll Be Together, If I Ever Lose My Faith in You. So glad you liked this!
Also check out him singing An Englishman in New York
Also Desert Rose, When We Dance, and Russians
His best song, in my opinion, is Fortress Around Your Heart.
Sting is one of my favorite solo artists! I love the Police and you really need to get back to them, but Sting solo is a treasure! Please check out Be Still zmy Beating Heart and of all the others suggested by the rest of the family! ❤️❤️
I think Fragile is also beautiful.
"Feel her body rise as you kiss her mouth" is one of the best lines ever written. This song is simply perfect.
Melts me every time.❤
The line, "Feel her body rise sa I kissed her mouth" wasn't in the Eva Cassdidy version.
Fortress around your heart is without a doubt my favorite solo Sting song. It's quite possible the perfectly assembled song ever.
Love that song!
Also my favorite!
Yeah it’s great😊
I love that song, too.
It is a masterpiece.
Sting has been a favorite of mine since his days with The Police (Every Breath You Take, Wrapped Around Your Finger). His catalog is filled with poetic and thought-provoking songs such as "Englishman In New York", The Shape of My Heart , "Russians", and "Fragile". The latter two songs have relevance today, and there is a video on You Tube of Sting accompanying Stevie Wonder for "Fragile". Two musical geniuses on stage and they are amazing. You're right Amber. You HAVE stumbled upon something. Great choice. Please do more. Thank You!
Agree, nice song suggestions.
Sting is a Geordie lad, from the North East of England.
There were loads of barley fields in the North East near the Coast.
This song means a lot to me ❤️
He was 2 years above me at school.
Agreed, this one instantly connected with me with my N England youth. ✌️
And it feels so small town mid-west Heartland to us Americans :~)
I always thought it was fields of Bali….the country. That’s a more romantic lyrical idea to me. I grew up in farm country. Fields of barley not so romantic 😂
And went to the same school as Neil Tennant from the Pet Shop Boys I believe?
It was a guitar. Classic guitar with nylon strings. This song is nostalgic. A fond remembrance of a time long since passed. I personally think it’s one of his very best.
Sting, also lead singer of The Police, backing vocals on many including Dire Straits " Money for Nothing"
Actor , Philanthropist and one of the greatest Artists of his generation .
Also The Promise by Arcadia, great track.
Damn right, lol
Ahh one of my faves from Sting. My other faves are “Fragile”, “Shape of My Heart”, “Russians”, “Englishman in New York”, We’ll Be Together”, and “They Dance Alone”.. The entire album of “NothingLike the Sun” is amazing as a whole.💛🦋✌🏼
Fragile is my favourite song, Russians is a must, his whole career is monumental
Russians and They Dance Alone are both phenomenal
"If I Ever Lose My Faith in You"
oh yea "Englishman in New York" is sooo cool!
Love his song When we dance.
I have been waiting for some Sting. Incredible lyricist, musician and vocalist. For me Sting is right up there with Paul and Stevie. My favorites among favorites. This is simply a beautiful song. STING was the lead singer principle writer in the Police. 12 Grammys. Every breath you take.
Eva Cassidy’s cover of this amazingly beautiful song is quite a treat as well.
No where near the level of Stevie Winder or Paul McCartney, though a unique artist.
@@joelliebler5690 i completely agree as far as the shear greatness of Paul and Stevie but in my personal listening interest Sting does it for me also. Paul and Stevie are historical musical figures and I worship at their alter.
@@markbarnwell942 Different strokes for different folks so I won’t tease you and I won’t poke fun of you, though in my mind and about millions of more music lovers would probably put Sting at about the top 500 to 1, 000 musical artists compared to in the top 10 or twenty for Stevie and Paul!😃☮️👍🏻
@@joelliebler5690 i dont disagree except that i put Stevie and Paul top 5.lol . When i was a lot younger i wanted so desperately to be Paul McCartney. Then I heard Songs in the Key of Life and wanted to be Stevie. Been back and forth ever since. I await your next post. Dont keep me waiting to long.hehe.
Eva Cassidy's cover is a treasure, must watch really. Sting cried...
He got me thru some rough patches in my days, especially this song. Forever grateful Sting!! ❤️👍🏽
I love Eva Cassidy singing this song and another one of my favourites that she sings is ‘Somewhere over the Rainbow’. You really need to check her out. She was amazing
@@kimcook991 100% 👍🏽
YES- Eva Cassidy is literally an angel
First thing i was thinking was somebody is gonna bring up Eva Cassidy's version ....... Not a patch on Stings version but that's my opinion only guys, not bringing Eva's version down at all .... Peace xx
I came here to say exactly this. Eva Cassidy's cover is the definitive version of this beautiful song. It will bring tears to your eyes.
Eva Cassidy also does a wonderful job singing this song. Sting has done a lot different genre of music. He is an iconic artist.
Sting said that she sang this song better than he did.
Female Friday is coming up. You should do Eva's version. It is simply beautiful.
Eva Cassidy is one of my all time favorite singers. Angelic voice and a wonderful guitar player as well. Here album ‘Live at Blues Alley’ is a must listen. You will be blessed.
She so does ❤️💯
YES, she did. Wonderful.
I've never been a fan of love songs but, this one is simply perfect. His voice just floats over the music like a dream.
A classic from 1993, Sting has a much underrated voice. Sting was in a band it was The Police who had hits in the late 70's and 80's
I know I thought a little while back they did see I think one or two the police but they knew his name was Sting so I didn't know how they didn't know about this sting being the same at least that's why I took it maybe I'm wrong
They reacted to them about three times. I’m rolling my eyes to the fact they don’t realize it
omg, 30 years ago! hard to believe.
STING'S VOICE IS NEVER UNDERRATED ....HIS VOICE ONCE U GET ACQUAINTED TO IT IS ONE OF THE MOST DISTINCTIVE VOICE OF THE 80'S.....PLUS THE FACT IF SOMEONE DOES NOT HAVE AN IDEA HOW BIG AND INFLUENTIAL STING WAS....THEN THEIR EXISTENCE IS A SAD ONE INDEED
uh...Sting's voice has ALWAYS been appreciated since the very first POLICE album. He did get more comfortable with it over the years of course.
Sting's albums "The Dream of the Blue Turtles" with all the jazz collaborations and "Nothing Like the Sun" are fantastic. I need to listen to them both again. I wore them out in the 80s.
Isn’t this gorgeous? Favorite Sting song! Can’t believe it’s your first Sting!!!! He was vocalist for The Police
I know! Seems strange. First Sting/Police?🤷♂️
@@petercourtien4581 I remember them doing several "Police" reactions and they know the name "Sting." Surprised they didn't pick up on it.
You just opened up a rabbit hole so worth exploring. Such a intelligent artist with phenomenal lyrics and musicality. He has many genuine masterpieces. Not even counting his contributions to The Police.
Jay & Amber, you'll love his "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free", "Fortress Around Your Heart", "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You" and
"We'll Be Together"!!!
edit- Sting was singer, bass player for The Police. You've only done 2 Police songs, so I guess you didn't recognize him or his voice.
Those are way better.
Ummmm. Its "Fortress Around Your Heart".
@@michaelfredgren1342 thank you
If they had done songs off the Synchronicity album, then they might recognize his voice. The pace of those songs is slower, which matches Sting's solo hits.
@@michaelfredgren1342 Synchronicity? Synchronicity 2?
This was a genre I didn’t really listen to in the 90s as I was more into alternative and grunge as a teen, but I did own this album. Sting is a great lyricist. His song “When We Dance” is, in my humble opinion, perfection
Edit: Yes, the instrument is a mandolin. Good ear! Same tuning as a violin, but double strings. I am a violin player and have messed around with the mandolin, but I’m not very good at it 😊
YES!!!!! OH, I love this song!!!! It's so beautiful! Sting was lead singer of The Police
Another great singer in the 80's was Steve Winwood. He was big! Jay and Amber, you'll love him. Some of his many hits are: "The Finer Things", " Back in the High Life Again", "While You See a Chance", " Valerie", "Roll With It", and " Higher Love". The great Chaka Khan sang female vocals on "Higher Love".
Love Sting's voice. A couple of my favorites from the Police ( he was the lead singer) are "Roxanne" and "King of Pain".
My fav "Wrapped Around Your Finger"
“Don’t stand so close to me”
I second that suggestion for "Roxanne" and "King of Pain".
I love King of Pain
Listen to Eva Cassidy version even Sting himself said it was now her song. All her songs are beautiful sadly she passed away too young.
Sting is one of the best! This is one of my favorite songs. Also , Sting and the Police sang "Message in a Bottle" and "Every Breath You Take". " Every Breath You Take" is a classic. Love Sting!
Sting said a lot of people had Every Breath You Take as their wedding dance, but in reality the song is from the point of view of a stalker
A wonderful version is Every Breath You Take with the iconic country artist, Tammy Wynette. She included it on her cd, Without Walls. It's fantastic.
Sting : great lyrics, his usual greatness.
Eva Cassidy: owns it.
The Eva Cassidy version was nice but never came close to Stings. And if I remember right her version left out some of the lyrics.
Sting's best is as the lead singer and bassist for the Police. "Don't Stand So Close To Me" "Every Breath You Take" "King of Pain" "Message in a Bottle" "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da" Can't Stand Losing You" "Wrapped Around Your Finger" "Spirits In the Material World"
Yes, "King of Pain" and "Wrapped Around Your Finger."
Everything in Sting’s solo catalog is so soulful and moving. One of my top artist❤😊 Great reaction😊
Thank you! Sting, like Robert Plant, has had a much longer solo career than the band he led (The Police). He is one of the top lyricists of the rock era (and a former English teacher).
Other great tracks include 'All This Time,' 'Fortress Around Your Heart,' 'If You Love Somebody, Set Them Free,' and 'If I Ever Lose My Faith in You.'
P.S. Real name is Gordon Sumner
One of my fav Sting songs but I have to admit my favorite version is a cover by Eva Cassidy.
If You Love Somebody Set Them Free is another awesome Sting song! Love to see you react to that one also. Thanks J/A
From Sting's 1993 CD "Ten Summoner's Tales". Sting was busy in 93. Besides this, he also collaborated with Bryan Adams and Rod Stewart to record "All For Love" the theme to the film "The Three Musketeers". You should give that trio a listen when you're able....
Sting has so many great songs. One of my favorites is "Fortress Around Your Heart". I think you both would truly enjoy it!
Oddly, after all these decades, I never noticed he began the song facing north. Then finished facing south as the sun set faster. Damn, that made me cry.
Sting use to be a teacher, then he had a band called The Police and then he went solo. Good selection by Sting. Thank you.
This song was from late in Sting’s popular period (mid-1990s), but he has been a giant in the music industry from late 1970s to today. He started with the Police and then went solo mid-1980s. His biggest other solo hits are Love is the Seventh Wave, Englishmen in New York, Desert Rose, Russians, Fragile, If I Ever Lose My Faith in You, They Dance Alone, and Brand New Day. His album Soul Cages was not popular, but it is a gem of an album about his personal life growing up - melancholy with a sea theme. It is well worth a listen. Cheers.
He did a duet with Rod Stewart & Bryan Adams called All For Love. ❤️
Loved that song from The Three Musketeers! ❤
@@jamiedianne6778 ikr, great movie & great song.
That would make it a trio, not a duet, but great song.
He had a threesome 😋
Fortress Around Your Heart is my favorite from Sting. Amazing lyrics and one of the best choruses you’ll ever hear. Almost nobody has reacted to it….perfect for RSR!!
Yes, one of his best in my opinion!
My favorite, too. I’d love for them to react to it!
You two should check out Eva Cassidy who did this song as well. Not to many people know of her. Eva passed away in 1996. One of my favorite songs of her’s is “People Get Ready. “ It was originally done by Curtis Mayfield.
I came here to make the same comment 💙
She has so many great songs! My favorites include her cover of Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors " , and "Hallelujah I Just Love Him So "
My favorites are "Stormy Monday " and "Chain of Fools ".
You have listened to Sting before. He was a member of the Police, and you watched a video of them singing "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic". Same lead singer. His music, once he went solo, was absolutely wonderful. Some of the albums that captured me were "The Dream of the Blue Turtles", "Nothing Like the Sun", Mercury Falling", etc....all incredible and filled with songs that speak to your soul.
Sting is one of the most talented musical artists out there - both his work with The Police and his solo works. One of my favorites. Try Desert Rose or If You Love Somebody.
I lovvvve Desert Rose 🏜️🌹
I've been watching you guys for a while and I really have to say, I LOVE the way you guys don't just listen to a song, you experience it. The way you close your eyes and just feel it. Especially when you listen to any of my favorite songs. Including this peaceful ballad. Keep it up.
You guys should hear and watch him sing Desert Rose. Absolutely stunning 🤩
Yes!!
I totally agree..!!! I also love the song “Brand New Day” from the same CD.
A yoga guru with a magical voice. He always wants to manifest integrity, insight and compassion. And, certainly, his music chakra is open! Beautiful song, Thanx so much, Namaste
Michelle Kwan skated to this song after loosing the Gold Medal in the 2002 Olympics. It was heartbreaking, she had been favored and it was her last Olympics. She won everything possible in her sport except for the Olympics. She was nothing but class.
First thing that came to mind when I saw what song they were reacting to was...Michelle Kwan skating to this. I agree with you on all of your points. Michelle's skating to Sting's Field of Gold was absolutely mesmerizing! Sting's voice is so soft and smooth here and it was perfect for Michelle!
Yes! This song always reminds me of Michelle Kwans skate with tears in her eyes. So heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. And she was dressed in gold. Beautiful!
“Losing” only has one “o” when you are talking about a loss.
I think she skated to the Eva Cassidy version of this song. I could be wrong.
Read the lyrics while listening to this song. It is so beautiful written.
The Sting and The Police are Rock and Roll Royalty ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This song always makes me emotional everytime I hear it start 🥺 So beautiful..
Guys, this is your THIRD time listening to Sting as he was lead singer in The Police through the late 70 and 80s. Arguably he’s become a huger star since he went solo and broke up the band. His songs like Russians, If You Love Somebody Set Them Free, Fragile, If I Ever Lose My Faith In You and Shape of My Hearts are must-hear tracks. As are Police songs like Roxanne, Don’t Stand So Close To Me, Message In A Bottle and So Lonely. Someone to dive deeper into in both solo and band form!
Eva Cassidy who died at a young age was an upcoming singer. She sings this song so beautifully. You may want to add her sometime on Female Friday.
They have already reacted to her twice before, but I think it is time to listen to her again.
Great song and great album. Sting was the lead singer of The Police. He was also an English teacher before getting into Rock. His solo career has been quite different from The Police, much more jazz influenced. Try "We'll be Together" as a follow up, or "Be Still my Beating Heart".
Just love this song (and the Eva Cassidy cover). Beautiful.
You guys should react to Eva Cassidy’s version of this song. You’ve reacted to her before (somewhere over the rainbow) so you know her magnificent voice, just imagine it with these lyrics 💗 I think I’ve read that even Sting prefers her version.
i agree.
Her version is angelic. 🥰
Yes!!!!
Also agree. Eva's "Fields of Gold" is revelatory
Sting said that she sang it better than he did.
I didn't fall in love with Sting until this song, which I love so much I want it played at my funeral. This album "Ten Summoner's tales" was huge, then I started listening to his other albums, and then I became a Police Fan. The Police had a reunion tour in 2008, they had broken up in the 80s and didn't do anything new but did a tour. The concert was probably the only concert I attended where I knew the words to every song. Was incredible. I love Sting so much I saw him on his brand new day tour on each coast. Great artist. Glad you guys discovered him and this was your first reaction.
Love knowing these songs will never die! Songs released in the 60’s is still on the radio❤❤❤❤
Sting wrote and released this song in 1993
This was released in the 90's, though
"Are" still on the radio.
An exquisite song.
Yes, it's a beautifull song. Even more so when Eva Cassidy sang it. Sting absolutely loved her cover. RIP, Eva.
We played Eva Cassidys version for my Daddys funeral. Both versions have been hard to ear ever since.
This song, poetically, is the love story of a farmer, a barley farmer, who recalls asking a woman to marry him by speaking of the promises he has made, "some that he broke," paraphrasing, but that this was one promise that he intended to keep, "...in the days still left..." or for the rest of his life. In a later verse he speaks of the present, "...see the children run as the sun goes down..." However, at the beginning and the end he mentions, "...you'll remember me..." and I take that to mean that after he has died, she can remember their years and times on their barley farm which was so golden and heavenly that even the sun with its golden brightness would be jealous. Its a lovely song, performed wonderfully. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Sting is a great musician and performed as a vocalist and arranger for the rock group, "The Police" and made his fortune during the 1980s. Like many artists who have found their success and finally make the artworks they prefer rather than the popular ones that make money, I believe this was one of Sting's sincere efforts at his own artistic desire. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Beautiful song 💕💕💕
Eva Cassidy does a fantastic cover too !
You'd love Sting's song Fortress Around Your Heart. Great lyrics as well as mesmerizing melody.
You should view the Eva Cassidy cover of stings original song, it is a must.
Such a wonderful ambience in this song, much like his "Desert Rose" song.
After The Police, Sting had a successful solo career and several acting jobs. I still remember his role in "Dune". Pure evil. ☮❤🎶
Loved him in Dune. Sometimes I think it's a shame he didn't do more acting, but I'd rather listen to him sing so I don't mind that's what he focused on. :)
Don't forget Quadrophenia.
And don't forget "Lock, stock and two smoking barrels"
@@georgegraves8125 Brimstone and Treacle, Artemis '81, Stormy Monday, The Bride.
My absolute favorite Sting song. One of my favorite songs ever!
You guys know Sting! He was in the Police. You reacted to their "Every Breath You Take" and "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic". This is Sting having gone solo. He had none other than Branford Marsalis (from the first family of jazz from New Orleans) on sax in his band. His music had a jazz influence. Many great songs to react to. I think "Fields of Gold" is his most beautiful. I think Eva Cassidy did a cover of this. Sting is another artist that appeared at Live Aid.
Many of us have mentioned him as a solo artist for months, since you heard him as the lead singer of "The Police". I know I've suggested him a _lot_ .
More by Sting...
"We'll Be Together"
"Be Still My Beating Heart" (about his struggles after losing his mom. I played it a lot after losing my mom, and I still listen to it regularly.)
"Rock Steady"
"Set Them Free" (features saxophonist Branford Marsallis, whose brother Wynton also plays saxophone. I've suggested both for jazz. Branford played on several of Sting's songs.
"Englishman In New York"
"Shape of My Heart" (from the movie "The Professional". It's one of my favorite movies.)
"Fortress Around Your Heart"
"Tomorrow We'll See"
"Nothin' Bout Me"
"Seven Days"
"Saint Augustine In Hell" (great guitar, drums and keyboard/piano)
"Shadows In the Rain" (the keyboard will grab you)
Sting was the lead singer, bassist and primary writer for The Police. Have you reacted to them yet? They have SO MANY hits.
His first solo hit was "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free" also check out "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You"
Love this song! Eva Cassidy has a really beautiful version of it...and Leila Josefowicz plays it on her violin - she is concert quality...
It's two people falling in love and having a family. It's the antidote to "Every Breath You Take"
I think "If you love somebody, set them free" is the antidote to "Every breath you take".
Sting was always excellent but came into his own particularly in his solo work. Right from ' An Englishman in New York'.
I'll probably take flak for this, but I like Sting's solo stuff more than his work with The Police (he was the guy you heard sing "Every Breath You Take". Sting is one of the most incredible lyricists of all time, and I hope you'll dive further into his solo discography. "Mad About You" is one of my favorites, as is "Fortress Around Your Heart", "Shape Of My Heart", "The Soul Cages", "Fragile", and "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You". He's a true icon.
I prefer Sting's solo work also. It was just better. And he evolved as a songwriter.
@@danalyntuthill1538 I remember hearing "Shape of My Heart" at the end of the movie "Leon (The Professional)". Such a perfect song.
@@Shrykespeare I just went and listened to "They Dance Alone" about the Mothers of the Disappeared. Such a stunning and moving song. I don't remember what album it was, but Sting's lyrics read like poetry. A truly great songwriter and artist that doesn't get enough credit.
@@danalyntuthill1538 I can answer that. It was off Nothing Like the Sun, which I used to own on CD.
It's soooooo funny when you say "new artist", I know why, but it still cracks me up!!! 😂 Sting and The Police have been a staple throughout my life. You cannot go wrong - the list of songs is endless by Sting alone and then you add The Police and you have a plethora of unbelievable tracks to listen to. Oh my gosh, dig in and enjoy - Englishman in New York, If you Love Somebody Set Them Free, Fortress Around Your Heart, When We Dance, Murder by Numbers, Canary in a Coalmine, When the World is Running Down You Make the Best of What's Still Around, Driven to Tears, Synchronicity I and II , So Lonely ....... and on and on it goes. It's a great ride!!!!! I can still remember the very first time I heard Roxanne - good grief, I was babysitting, put the kids to bed and decided to turn on the stereo in the living room. Never heard them before, they had just hit North America that was 1978/9.
And if you love Sting, another amaziing artist to check out is David Sylvian.✌❤
Your girl, Eva Cassidy did a great cover of this....
Tim Rice, great lyricist, said the first time he heard this he thought Sting had discovered an old ancient song from hundreds of years ago. Sting himself went to the great record producer David Foster with a copy of Eva Cassidys version of his song and said you have to listen to this, it's the most soulful song you'll ever hear.
The fact that you don't recognize Sting as the singer of The Police shows how much you still need to learn. His solo career is huge.
Yes, very embarrassing. I'm very disappointed in them for not knowing STING. Wow.
@@DizJakeOG Yes, I enjoy their reactions, but I often wonder what kind of upbringing they had. I spent my teenage years listening to music non-stop. By the time I was 20 I had heard every hit since the 1950s. The fact that they haven't even heard of so many superstars is so bizarre to me.
They've been obsessed with their favorite artists like Led Zeppelin, Elton John, Pink Floyd, ELO and play them endlessly. They need to open up to other great artists. Sting they should know from the Police which they have reacted to already.
Their “upbringing”??
They are 29 yrs old.
Hip hop & Rap was their diet. They are only beginning to get an understanding and appreciate for the musical talent & legends that predates their birth.
Give them their due. They are gradually getting educated and this is a perfect example of how far they still have to go. I applaud their journey and awakening.
When these two were kids, sting would have already been on the classics stations and off the mainstream. Same with The Police. As for not recognizing him, they did 2 very up tempo Police songs with a much younger Sting. Older, more chill Sting is almost a different artist when you combine the mellow song with a completely different backing orchestration by a totally different band
HOW have you not done any Sting/The Police yet? They were HUUUUUGGE!!!! Sooo much incredible music down this rabbit hole. 🙌
The late Eva Cassidy did a beautiful cover of this song which I actually prefer. No disrespect to Sting, he's brilliant.
Sting has a fantastic rabbit hole, including some jazzy pieces. "Desert Rose" is a must!
I would def add Sting's song "Russians" to your "Must Listen To" list. It is a hauntingly beautiful song that is especially poignant in light of current events.
Please, please, listen to "Russians".... Keep in mind that it was written in the mid '80's...... but still very poignant
I always find complete relaxation when I hear these slow soft ones from Sting, calming soothing and simply lovely. My all time favourite in this genre from Sting is "Fragile" I HIGHLY recommend you check that out soon.
Keep Safe Keep Strong🦘🦘🦘🦘🎶🎶🎶🎶
There's so much beautiful music by Sting. He's a true original, with especially creative time signatures, rhythms, and chord progressions. More, please. Three recommendations: (1) Fortress Around Your Heart; (2) Russians; (3) They Dance Alone.
This song represents a lot. My past was the fields of gold. We all walked them and now they are gone. This song............
Sting was the lead singer of the Police. He has a ton of solo hits.
It was perfect.
Eva Cassidy version of “Fields Of Gold” is the best!
It’s Sting’s song…but even he thinks so ;)
Eva really brings the feelings of this song to the forefront . Miss her so much what a talent she was
I live about 20 miles east of Wiltshire, where this song was written about, in southern England. Love taking my camera there at sunset 👌
Please listen to Eva Cassidy singing this song absolutely beautiful.
Sting is exceptionalboth with the Police and as a solo.. from the UK.. truly delightful live!
Wonderful song from the former bassist for The Police!
One of my favorite songs. So melancholy.
Listen to Eve Cassidy's cover of Fields of Gold. It'll bring you to tears its so beautiful.
what a beautiful song - and as others have mentioned, eva cassidy does an amazing cover - it'll tear your heart out.
Sting is an absolute legend! It is sooo hard to recommend his songs because how do I stick to a few? He writes songs that tell a story, that are never boring. Love songs he has but with a twist, always with some tension or complication rather than the mundane. He has so many excellent songs across multiple decades! How about "Shape of my heart" or "Fragile" or "Russians" or "Seven Days" or "The Pirate's Bride" from his "Symphonicities" album where he did new arrangements of his songs with a symphony orchestra and totally changed the feel of them? Damn, it's hard to stop there. You will struggle to find a rubbish Sting song.
How delightful to find you reacting to the legend that is Sting, and this song in particular ... my late husband and I chose to play this at the beginning of our wedding, and it will always be very special to me ❤ There are endless beautiful songs by this guy, both solo and with The Police, but 'Shape of my Heart' is exceptional, imo.
Guys, it's a chance to react more to Police songs. You have only made two and they are too few. Message in a bottle, Can't Stand Losing you,Roxanne,De do do do de da da da, don't stand so close to me and the list goes on and on. Also consider his solo hit "Englishman in New York"
Sting is one the greatest musicians of all time with massive catalogue both as a solo artist and with his band the police. I'm seeing him live for the first time in feb can't wait
Please react to Eva Cassidy’s rendition of this song.
First time I saw Sting in concert was when he opened for the Grateful Dead in 1993 at RFK Stadium in DC while he was promoting this album. Then I saw him this past Aug in Virginia Beach, VA. HE STILL HAS *IT* !!! Amazing performer!
Omg, y’all should hear Eva Cassidy sing this song! You only did one Eva Cassidy song, and she has so so many amazing performances. Sting himself said Eva’s version was better than his (I think - it might have been that she did it best of anyone who covered it, I don’t remember, but it was high praise). Sting has incredible music, worth many visits.
They have reacted to 2 songs. One was "Danny Boy" on St. Patrick's Day. So disappointed that they chose that song when she sang so many better ones.
So beautiful, have always loved this song...such beautiful word pictures. I really am walking in fields of barley and can even feel the warm sun on my arms.
