[@classiclife7204]

The entire record is a masterpiece; no filler; arguably his best single record as a whole, though other albums have MANDATORY songs (the first album has "Fortress Around Your Heart").

[@davedrd8829]

A Masters’ Masterpiece!!

[@danielsimpson9893]

Concur. I rank this album alongside The Joshua Tree as the best of their generation. Between this track, Fragile, Little Wing (exceptionally underrated Hendrix cover), They Dance Alone…it epitomized masterful music making. He and Gabriel were brilliant.

[@danbev9313]

I remember being in Sam Goody in NYC in 1987 when this album was released. They played this song while I was shopping and it bought instantly. My favorite album. Englishman in NY....Sister Moon...

[@bathset1119]

Sting just doesn’t do “filler” ❤️

[@kojionkong7058]

@@danbev9313 My mistress eyes are nothing like the sun ! I kept this verse around my heart my entire life (and it actually opened me the path to Shakespeare...)

[@glendirienzo1365]

This is one of Sting's best albums. Andy Summers plays guitar on this song.

[@bluescoobyblue]

I can't imagine hearing Sting songs for the first time!! This won album of the year at the UK Brit awards 1988

[@matthewsmith1547]

It’s interesting watching younger generations listening to music I grew up with for the first time. This is why we stand by the music of our generation.

[@christineanderson4755]

Sting’s voice and lyrics are mesmerizing, sensual and intelligent. How did any of his students or female colleagues get anything done when he was a teacher.

[@cbseE9212]

Sting is a master lyricist ❤️

[@jonathanford3693]

Some things have double meanings but if you look at the lyrics of "I Hung My Head" you will find triple meanings. Also Sting talked about that with the title of his album Mercury Falling.

[@DanielOrion74]

The Lyrical Lord.... Sting is up there with the best.

[@MilosDaddy]

That whole album is pretty amazing.

[@Vince-lq3ve]

This whole album is a joy to experience.

[@stevenwasserman9729]

Nothing Like The Sun was a tribute to his mother, The Soul Cages was a tribute to his father.

[@seanmarr45]

There is a killer version of Little Wing on this album with a good guitar solo.

[@dsl6547]

Hiram Bullock I believe.

[@robertlear2735]

Great lyric, "Sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean, my logic is drowned in a sea of emotion"

[@johncrawford8481]

Sting is extremely versatile and a great song writer and composer. Before the Police, he taught nine and ten year olds English, music and soccer in a Catholic school in the U.K. Give a listen to Seven Days, Don’t Stand Too Close To Me (inspired by his earlier teaching) and If I Ever Lose Faith In You. His live albums are incredible! Enjoy!

[@robertlear2735]

The arrangements and engineering on Nothing Like The Sun are phenomenal

[@dhaisley]

Magic is what it is. I agree with everything you two said.

[@Iggystar71]

This song pierces my heart.

[@kacemkafi1455]

Sting is an ADDICTION

[@aitornavarro6597]

This my fav album from Sting as a soloist and you're correct all personnel in this project are session musicians. Sting is a multi-instrumentalist, good composer and songwriter, great lyricist and music arranger a true master in his own right. This album a is masterpiece.

[@nicholaspowell7949]

High quality song writing from a genius songwriter, no more to be said.

[@MrPolleyr]

I watched a documentary about Sting. A medical doctor ran some tests on Sting’s brain waves and found him to have unique patterns that enable him to hear much more in the sound spectrum than we average mortals. One of my all time favourite artists.😍

[@firststatetate]

One of my first memories as a child was hearing ghost in the machine. Huge follower of Stings solo albums. So many talented players too. Harlem globetrotters of musicians. Had some deep stuff in this Era. He's a master composer and writer.

[@JohnDavis-mu9je]

The intricacies, creativity, and literature references, are so emblematic of quality 80's music. It's so much better than the junk produced today.

[@morganrobinson2436]

Sting has been a favorite of mine since I was a little girl. Even then I was aware of how unique and talented he is as a singer and composer. I’ve seen him now a few times in concert, and he does NOT disappoint! His voice is so unique too, very sensual and calming.

[@kenratliff7822]

If you want to see something really cool with Sting and the top notch players he got to play with him, check out the documentary Bring On The Night. It shows Sing putting together his first solo album and preparing for their first live performances. It's really amazing musicianship and a cool look into the process of developing these songs.

[@pcoleman1971]

The jazz version of "Meet the Flintstones" alone makes it worth watching. :-)

[@gopibble]

I second this.. watched it multiple times. Just awesome

[@thomashardman108]

Definitely watch Bring On The Night! It makes you appreciate the music so much more than you think is possible.

[@NakedPigeon]

Sting has such a distinguished voice, you always recognize it. Even when (what he did a lot) sings just the backing vocals

[@mskytube]

Sting is a Master Storyteller! Every one of his songs tells a story. ❤

[@philplasma]

That whole album is really great.

[@DavidTateVA]

One of the things I love about Sting is that he surrounds himself with amazingly talented musicians. I would strongly recommend that you watch the documentary film Dream of the Blue Turtles, which chronicles him assembling the team for his first "solo" album.

[@gregmurray4699]

I love that you did Sting !!! One of my all time favorites. REQUEST: Fields of Gold.

[@mgriffis38]

The entire album is his crowning achievement in my mind. It does not get much better. This has always been my favorite song since it’s release. I love all the layers of the instruments and lyrics. There is so much to take in. Thanks for all you do. I love your channel

[@samyleigh3246]

Sting. His voice, his composition. Wow🤗. If you two ever get the chance to see him in concert do! He is unreal 😌. 💙 Watching your reactions is a gift!

[@GaryParris]

Still one of the best albums ever written! Sting never panders thats for sure, choice of musicians is impeccable.

[@robertlear2735]

Nothing Like the Sun is one of my favorite albums

[@jeanine6328]

I dont know of anyone that does music this well today. When you’re hearing each instruments intricacies, just beautiful. Two other bands that can’t miss are Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. You don’t listen to Pink Floyd, you experience Pink Floyd. Check out their song Comfortably Numb, it’ll take you to another world.

[@NicknLex]

We have been longtime Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin fans:) That's why you don't see any reactions of them on this channel. We know basically everything except the very early Pink Floyd albums. Comfortably Numb has to be one of my all-time favorite guitar solos. We saw Get the led out and Brit Floyd ( Two amazing cover bands ) Pink Floyd is actually a band that brought us together since we both loved the band and started to hang out more since we both had the same taste in music. Thanks so much for the recommendation!

[@bmw128racer]

"Fortress Around Your Heart" is a great track from Sting.

[@ericreynolds2227]

This song always makes me choke up

[@jad4680]

one of the best songs and lyrics of the eighties! a serious 80s song ". ; )

[@Humb7757]

I’m sorry to catch this beautiful review two years later. This Album is A Gem for everyone who loves high quality Musicianship! And Sound 😮This album Gives me the Chills every time! Even in 2023…… ♾️

[@NicknLex]

This so literally the second reaction we aver made.

[@kevindorenbach7082]

I bought this album when it was first released...loved it instantly...used to go jogging with this cassette in my tape player....haven’t heard for over twenty years...my heart begins racing as I fall in love with it again....this is great....btw. I also listened to Peter Gabriel’s So album during this time...really brings me back...thanks...

[@joykeebler1916]

The soul of sting himself is expressed in this song.

[@eileendobbs8009]

If you DO react to Fragile I recommend the live performance of Stevie Wonder with Sting. It's so good Sting just shakes his head like OMG how good is Stevie...

[@Nastyfinger1444]

Just love Sting's voice.

[@Pilantravis]

It's not by chance that people say that The Police led the second british invasion. The music is top, top, top tier. King Of Pain, Wrapped Around your finger, Shape of my heart...just to start. Like the Beatles, Sting and The Police have hit, after hit.

[@GaryParris]

shape of my heart one of the best songs ever, still haunts me everyday, especially Dominic Millers guitar!

[@jeredfearman7144]

Oh for sure. I do think that the police outshines the Beatles in many different ways. Not saying the Beatles aren't good. I just believe the police are on their own level.

[@Niecy70]

Ugh!!!! It just does not get any better than this. The melody the words the voice is just outstanding💗

[@4akaimalko]

Modern people discovering quality 😲

[@MrBfg586]

Y’all should check out “The Wild Wild Sea” from Soul Cages. The way they recorded and played the instruments makes you feel like you are on a ship in the ocean.

[@thekeyboardess1150]

The whole THE SOUL CAGES album (1991) is a masterpiece, unfortunately so underated!

[@ryanmccloskey127]

When the angels fall is awesome too , that whole album is by far my favorite of all time

[@valeriebecker5599]

There is only one Sting ! Next time around try the songs Fragile and Fields Of Gold ! If they don't cut through to your heart you can't possibly have one. Love to watch you react and enjoy truly great music !

[@mikel3363]

PAUL SIMON's 1986 "GRACELAND" album is a MUST for the two of you ~!!!

[@davidnelson6874]

They Dance Alone is an Awesome tune! Best song on the CD for my money.

[@scottross2850]

Shape of My Heart....haunting, beautiful must listen

[@utvf68]

From my favorite Sting album, Nothing Like The Sun. 😎

[@barmalgran666]

Andy summers of the police played the guitar in this song- the whole album was masterpiece…

[@joykeebler1916]

- so of the profundity with EveRy beAtING within the Heart when as listening...

[@robertlear2712]

“sink like a stone that’s been thrown in the ocean, my logic is drowned in a sea of emotion”. One of the best lines in music.

[@triscat]

How did I miss this reaction! So glad it popped up on my feed today. Now...to go find more Sting!

[@neonpark1874]

Another excellent Sting album is The Dream of the Blue Turtles. There's a track on it called "Shadows In The Rain". It is a reimagined (and jazzier take) on a Police song that appeared on their Zenyatta Mondatta album from 1980. I think it might be fun for you to review the original Police version and then follow that immediately with Sting's solo version from 1985 to see how it evolved and totally changed. On a completely separate note - I'd also love to hear you review a song called Aqua Marine from Santana's Marathon album (released in 1979). It's NOT one of their well know radio hits and probably no one else will think to request it - but it's a great tune and right up your alley.

[@juliettespain7994]

Now Dream of the Blue Turles was my chocolate box. 🍫 it is so delish. Listened to the album over and over. I'm so glad Steward Copeland had some parts. Of course to me Steward Copeland is a God like Drummer. Absolute 💯

[@jazz2959]

thanks you guys...it's so so cool to see two people who truly get it and appreciate top quality tunes

[@cbseE9212]

We work the black seam is another underrated Sting song. I don't like his later albums that much but his earlier albums are something!

[@NicknLex]

Thanks for your support and stay tuned for more Sting to come! :) - Lex

[@laurasibley8892]

One of my faves also.

[@dukecharlesmccrae]

Thats always been a fave of mine. Also Shape of my Heart for 10 Sumners Tales.

[@Auntkekebaby]

Sting is incredible. I played the hell out of this album. Beautiful lyrics, arrangements, voice...FACE. My love. Listen to the whole album. Masterpiece.

[@fairhaven5668]

You can tell when Lex is into the music, because she rarely glances over at Nick. Ha!

[@tonypenaud7077]

Nothing like the sun was the first album recorded in DDD. This song is my favorite. Never bored with. Best for you from France

[@NZsarge1]

In my humble opinion Nothing Like The Sun is his finest album

[@simonedanger3223]

His reaction is similar to mine when I first heard it. Such An amazing piece

[@xxJOKeR75xx]

Sting gets way too little recognition from youtube reactors. Glad to see one of his less known songs too.

[@ajh180]

His old band mate Andy Summers plays guitar on this track. Excellent track!

[@davedrd8829]

Top Notch is the word!!

[@sheldonvogt5212]

The production you marvel at is the work of Hugh Padham. He's responsible for much of the best music from the 80s, including Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins--Padham helped develop the "gated" drum effect on "In the Air Tonight"--Tears for Fears, XTC, Hall and Oates, Elton John, and much more. His work is a rabbit hole you dive into.

[@ianhepplewhite8334]

Sting is from Wallsend (where Hadrian’s wall finished - Roman Emperor) in the north east of England, just the other side of the River Tyne from where my dad was from in Jarrow. In that part of the world they are known as Geordies - I have no idea why! I’ll have to look it up. I think Sting used some jazz musicians like Courtney Pine on saxophone, whom I’ve seen in his own right quite a few times. He has also played with double bass player Christian McBride.

[@barbarazee9773]

Music that stands the test of time. I wonder if that isn’t different from the fact that music is timeless. This song is so layered and rich. You both were spot on with what you noticed, appreciated, and enjoyed about the track. Listen more than once so you will also notice and be amazed by Sting’s lyrics, as rich as the music itself.

[@wuodbonde]

For an artist as well known as Sting, I actually think he is underrated as a lyricist and a musical arranger. His songs are beautifully crafted and he knows how to make a good sound. His early solo albums are his best work - Dream of the Blue Turtles, Nothing Like The Sun, The Soul Cages and Ten Summoner's Tales are all great. In my opinion, he went downhill after that - although his recent musical The Last Ship also has some great songs on there. I love the Police as well and songs like I Can't Stand Losing You, The Bed's Too Big Without You and King of Pain are cool songs, but Sting as a solo artist has made more interesting and varied music. If I were to recommend just one song from each of his solo albums that you should react to, I would say check out the following: Moon Over Bourbon Street from Dream Of the Blue Turtles / Straight To My Heart from Nothing Like The Sun / Why Should I Cry For You from The Soul Cages / Love Is Stronger Than Justice from Ten Summoner's Tales / I Was Brought To My Senses from Mercury Falling / Fill Her Up from Brand New Day / The Book of My Life from Sacred Love / title track from the The Last Ship. These songs prove his range and versatility as a musician. Enjoy !

[@melissadambro8873]

In 1987, I was 18 years old when this came out and I was in college. I still have this album (record) and remember playing it a lot back in the day! A track I would highly recommend is "Little Wing" which is a cover of a Jimmie Hendrix song. Hiram Bullock does the lead guitar and it will give you chills.... ! If you love your guitar, you will love the solo on that track!! : - ) You guys are great! Glad I found you!

[@jonathanford3693]

Sting - "I was Brought to my Senses", "Heavy Cloud, No Rain" etc.

[@bethmaccrindle220]

PG and Sting did a concert together about a decade ago. You both have been listening to my all time favorite bands and music. Have you ever listened to San Jacinto by PG? Subdivisions by Rush? A Man with a Child in his Arms but Kate Bush? I can go on, and know you have lots of supportive listeners. But trust me on these….

[@robertlear2735]

I saw Sting and The Police in concert in 2008. Amazing. Sting is the coolest guy on earth. I have the Nothing Like the Sun CD

[@babylonsister118]

He has been doing some songs recently with Shaggy that are amazing, It's like his old music moshed with some newer songs. if you look for it, there is one song cut out of a Tiny Desk Concert called Shape of My Heart, mashed with Lucid Dreams that is just gorgeous! Check it! You won;t be sorry! The entire concert is awesome as so many Tiny Desk Concerts are!

[@steenengel2882]

This is one of two Sting albums I got the day they were released, the other being The Soul Cages which, in my opinion, is even better than Nothing Like The Sun. In the mid 80'ties he released an excellent double live album, Bring On The Night, containing songs from his first solo album and The Police catalogue - could be worth your while, if you dig live albums?!? ...

[@thekeyboardess1150]

The SOUL CAGES is a jewel! Unfortunately not as famous as Nothing Like The Sun.

[@anoukvandenberg-hilberding6985]

The soul cages is the album he wrote when his father died. If you listen to it whit that thought it gives a whole new meaning

[@jamesbrown9130]

What a band he had. Kinda of like what Joni did with the Shadows and Light tour. These cats can play anything.

[@richardfairlamb9728]

Happy New Year. Beautiful to hear this great song again. Sting was at the top of his game around this time. You need to hear ‘Fortress around your heart’, it’s stunning. Thanks for your reaction.

[@singerguitaristmunna]

sting /the police is great for their style of everything just amazing

[@Niecy70]

I'm so glad that you guys loved this song. It's just so good!!!!

[@MGTS24]

Thanks for that. I'm so glad you have discovered Sting. He has inspired me no end over the years. I encourage you to check out his song I Burn for You. I'ts just out of this world!! Especially the live version.

[@davedrd8829]

Omar Hakin, Kenny Kirkland, Mark Knolpher, Eric Clapton, Hiram Billock, Annie Lennox - Ruben Blades, Branford Marsalis, Andy Summers..thats all!

[@claramcshannon2721]

@nickandlex I have been a fan of Sting since now over 23 years and I am never gonna get tired enough to listen to his songs. His songs have been an inspiration, a guidance, a relief at different times of my life but in a way or another he has always been here. I had the pleasure of seeing him live multiple times and funny enough that you mention PG.. I have been to the Rock Paper Scissors Tour in New York and I ll suggest you listen to some of videos are around on KZbin from that tour.. It was epic. I also suggest you read the books Sting wrote.. They are all amazing including Broken Music. More songs to listen and not so super commonly known? A thousand years, Send your love, The Language of Birds, Valparaiso, I burn for you

[@MrBfg586]

Andy Summers plays on this track and Lazarus heart

[@bathset1119]

So much great Sting music (the man can do no wrong in my ears)! One of his best, I my opinion, is Dessert Rose.

[@davidnelson6874]

. . . Nothing Like The Sun is a wonderful album.

[@Niecy70]

This is song is one of my most favorite songs in the universe❤ the emotion is ridiculous

[@mstewart109]

Love Sting!!! Go down that rabbit hole asap!!-- sigh

[@chrislucero1928]

Memories Straight to my heart is good too

[@SuperGitfiddle]

A reaction video to Stings "Moon Over Bourbon Street" please! NO ONE has posted a reaction video to that song. A song inspired by Anne Rice book "Interview with a Vampire".

[@NicknLex]

This sounds great; we'll definitely add it to the list! Thanks for your support! :) - Lex

[@darthvegan435]

Was it? That's funny I was an "Interview" fan in High school and when this song came out, I always pictured it as one of either Louis or Lestat, but never had confirmation of that... good to know that is what Sting was going for..

[@MrDiddyDee]

Thx guys for reminding me of this fantastic track, really enjoyed that. Nick, with your shorter haircut you now look about 15 years old, who knew it could be so easy for some folks to roll back the years. LOL

[@taramills2289]

Do more Sting. Seriously. He's so good. Listen to Fragile. Listen to Seven Days. Try A Thousand Years or The Shape of My Heart. Just listen.

[@jamesrowe3606]

That's quite the rabbit hole you've found for yourselves. I think you'll both love Fields of Gold from his 1993 album Ten Summoner's Tales. I certainly do.

[@williamvesey3679]

If you liked Steely Dan you'll like Sting. High production quality, and there's a space for every instrument in the mix and in time. And his voice is as iconic as Fagan's. That album is a masterpiece. You would also really like Sade if you don't already. When you two were just bopping with the intro at the end, I was struck by how much you looked like teenagers in someone's basement. It brought me back to my childhood days in the 70s.

[@singerguitaristmunna]

andy summers guitar playing is best of the top chart no confusion

[@dukecharlesmccrae]

For a latter day Sting, would like to see you react to 'And Yet' or 'I Love Her but she Loves Someone Else', from The Last Ship. It became my favourite Sting album. By the way, you mentioned Fragile at the beginning - that song still makes me weep!

[@leonh.kalayjian6556]

Sting best sing lost without you

[@davidwilkins5932]

Time to get back to Sting!

[@NicknLex]

Yes this was our second video !!

[@Biofilmz]

His first two or three solo albums are amazing - great musicians and better song writing. It is hard to listen to this because it is so emotionally tied to the times it came out. My favorite band for you to listen to is Yes, but the Police and Sting are up there for sure.

[@luked3920]

I know this was posted on 1/27/21 and it appears you both enjoyed Be Still My Beating Heart, but I have not seen any other reactions to Sting since. I wish you would consider doing at least a few more. Sting's albums The Dream of the Blue Turtles and Nothing Like the Sun (first two after The Police) had a lot of great jazz musicians recording and touring with him at the time...some of the best in the business. Listen to any song on either album, and for a great concert/movie, watch Bring on the Night from 1986. There are some amazing jam sessions that emerge from that concert. You'll both love it.

[@luked3920]

My suggestions: Sting - Children's Crusade (CD The Dream of the Blue Turtles) Sting - Shadows in the Rain (CD The Dream of the Blue Turtles) Sting - Straight To My Heart (CD ...Nothing like the sun) Sting - The Lazarus Heart (CD ...Nothing like the sun) Sting - They Dance Alone (Gueca Solo) (CD ...Nothing like the sun) Prob heard this, but it's so good...Fragile (CD ...Nothing like the sun) Sting - Shape Of My Heart (CD Ten Summoner's Tales) Sting - Seven Days (CD Ten Summoner's Tales) Sting - Why Should I Cry For You (CD The Soul Cages) Sting - Islands of Souls (CD The Soul Cages)

[@NoCanDu]

I bought this vinyl record in 1988 at 19 and I was feeling this! Hearing it again now, it has a completely different meaning to me when I listen with my life experiences mixed in. Time to put that album back on. It’s been awhile, old friend. ❤️
