I haven?t found this thread here, so decided to start.He deserves one. I?m sure that almost everyone knows his beautiful songs, such as ?Fragile?, ?Englishman in NY?, ?Roxanne?, ?Shape of my heart?. His soft voice and easten motives can?t leave you indifferent Besides, his lyrics are soo beautiful, kind and honest

[barelylegal]

Finally, a thread dedicated to Sting and The Police!

I'm barely.

His lyrics are definitely thought-provoking. I love them. My favorite album is probably "Ten Summoner's Tales". I adore "Shape of my Heart".

[-Alina-]

barely hey! I "Shape of my Heart" too. Here's the lyrics

He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He doesn't play for respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance
I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades
I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
And if I told you that I loved you
You'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
Those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost
I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart

Alina Lovely, lyrics! Hey, have you read "Broken Music"? If so, is it worth it?

And how did you become a fan of them?

[-Alina-]

barely, I haven't read this book Sorry, can't help. I hasn't been released here yet, and I really don't know if even will be
At first I loved Sting, and then I became a fan of The Police His song "Fragile" just took my heart. What about you?

[barelylegal]

Alina Oh, ¿where are you from? His book has been released here, but in spanish. I want to read it in english, so I'll probably have to order it online. I'm from Peru, btw.

I heard several song on the radio that I loved. Finally I decided to buy "10 Sumoner's Tales" (which I love) and consequently, became a fan.

Though I must admit that I don't know many biografical details about him as a youngster and musician or The Police. Thus, me wanting to read the book and always on the look-out for The Police related information.

[-Alina-]

I'm from Russia. You're from Peru! that's soo cool. You're the second one from Peru, who I met here

Though I must admit that I don't know many biographical details about him as a youngster and musician or The Police

I don't know much as well. I've seen some programs on TV about him [including on VH1]. I think I was too young, when he was in the Police.

It seems like there're only 2 Sting fans on this board well, they don't know what they're missing

Btw, my mom bought a dist with Instrumental music [2 disks ] some months ago. And to my surprise, I found that one of the tracks is Sting's instrumental song, called "Ocean Waltz". It's sooo beautiful I didn't know, that he writes instrumental music. Don't you know, maybe, he has an album on this kind of music? I haven't seen it here, though

I remember that I was watching European Mag news on Euronews some time ago and one of Sting's musician [guitarist,I think] was talking about releasing his own album of Classic music [that's how he called it]. Only guitar. I guess, his name or surname was/is Miller. Have you heard anything about it?

[barelylegal]

Alina

Nice! There are very few peruvians at F4F. You are the first russian girl I meet.

Yep, people sure don't know what they are missing!
If we keep this board active eventually people will come.

I've never heard that song. I never knew he wrote instrumental music to be honest. That's cool!

No, unfortunately I haven't heard about him releasing his own album.

Have you seen this site? It's pretty good. http://www.stingetc.com/

[-Alina-]

barely!

If we keep this board active eventually people will come.

I hope so

thanks for the link. I'll check it out! Btw, have you seen Moulin Rouge? There's Sting's song they did remix to -Roxanne. I love it sooo much. And all this "tango scene" is amazing. this movie, Sting

edited to add a link:

Official Sting Site

this site is absolutely amazing!

[barelylegal]

Alina I haven't seen Moulin Rouge, yet. I'll check for that song once I see the movie.

Oooh, "Roxanne" is really beautiful!! There's this re-mix Puffy did. Niice.

I Sting, too. His site is pretty good.

Have you ever been to a Sting concert? Unfortunately, I haven't. I doubt he'll come anytime soon here.

[-Alina-]

Have you ever been to a Sting concert? Unfortunately, I haven't. I doubt he'll come anytime soon here.

I haven't been iether I think he came to Moscow a couple years ago, but as soon as I don't live in Moscow, I couldn't get to his concert I hope he'll come to Russia again, and I'll *really* try to get a ticket to his concert. That would be easy, b/c my brother now lives there
I remember, that at the same time as Sting was in Moscow, Natalia Oreiro [you might know her, she's a soap opera actress ], came to our country too. And almost ALL articles in newspapers and magazines were about her. And about Sting, I found only a few Stupid people How could they prefer this *pretty face soap opera girl* , instead of *really* talanted Sting, it's still bayond me

There's this re-mix Puffy did. Niice.

I don't know if it's his, in MR, but if it is, IT's AMAZING. I rarely like mixex, but this one iss wonderful

Btw, don't you know, where can I find Sting photos? ( especially those ones, as on his official site, in teturnack sweater ). I'd love to make icons or w/p.

UGH, yeah I know who Natalia is. Most soap opera is crap, specially Mexiacan one. (some Brasillian ones are okey.)

GAH, I can't understand them. I mean STING comes to your country and they'd rather talk about... her!! I guess they have no good taste.

I hope you get to go to a concert!

Hmm.. I have no clue as were to find pictures. Probably on those two websites. I'll search for some. You are definitely right, Sting is such a handsome man.

I'd like to see your WP's and such. How familiar are you with PSP8 and similar programs? I'm a complete newbie.

[-Alina-]

I think, she's from Argentine, no? Anyway, who cares

I hope you get to go to a concert!

I hope i'll too someday Listening him singing the songs live is one of my passions dreams ever!

How familiar are you with PSP8 and similar programs? I'm a complete newbie.

Now, I'm pretty good at it. But you haven't seen me 1,5-2 years ago , that would be scary I love doing w/p or icons. So i'll do some stings with pleasure.
Lately, I decided to collect all my art works and now, you can see them at my website [ the link on my sig, the word *love*]. And if you leave your comment on my MB, I will love you forever

On topic, Sting... as soon as I haven't found any photos yet, I'm posting lyrics.
"Send your love" [very useful song in our cruel wourld]


Send your love
into the future
Send your love
into the distant dawn

This is your night at the relay (railway?) station
A mission forward into the unknown
We'll send a seed to a distant future
And we can watch a galaxy growin'
This ain't no time for dialing your power,
this ain't no time for hidin' your care
Climbin' down from an ivory tower,
you've got a stake in the world we ought to share

See the stars they're movin' so slowly,
but still the earth is movin' so fast
Can't you see the moon is so lonely,
she's still trapped in the pain of the past
This is the time of the world's collidin'
This is the time of kingdoms fallin'
This is the time when the world's dividin'
time to heed your call

Send your love
into the future
Send your precious love
into some distant time
I'll face that moon in tatters(?)
with the love of your healin'
Send your love
Oh, send your love

No religion but sex and music
There's no religion but sound and dancing
There's no religion but line and color
There's no religion but sacred trance
There's no religion but the endless ocean
There's no religion but the moon and stars
There's no religion but time and motion
There's no religion just travelled stars

Far better than to watch the ocean
I see the ripples manage(?) in the distance
It's just the same with all the emotion
It's just the same in every instance

No religion but the joys of rhythm
No religion but the rights of spring
No religion in the path of hate (hatred?)
No prayer but the one I sing

Send your love
into the future
Send your precious love
into some distant time
I'll face that moon in tatters(?)
with the love of your healin'
Send your love
Oh, send your love

No religion but sex and music
There's no religion that's right or winnin'
No religion in the path of hatred
Ain't no prayer but the one I'm singin'

Send your love
Send your love
