Shape of My Heart (Sting) reaction

The shape of the true heart is nothing like the sword of the soldier (Spades) or the club of war (Clubs) and the diamonds that pay for art (Diamonds) -- in a deck of cards. A very clever and contemplative song with Sting's wonderful rasp and exquisite instrumentation, including a high harmonica and a seriously moody guitar riff.
Thanks to Sam Borgman for this recommendation!

Sting was the Bard of the last 25 years of the 20th century... All his songs tell a tale...🎵💚🎶...🌿🌿🌿

This is my favourite song of all time. It's from the album Ten Summoner's Tales. Every track is wonderful. I think the songs were inspired by the songs of French Troubadors in Medieval times. It's why the lyrics are so unique and original. Poetry to music, essentially, at least for me. Timeless .

this song is profound, so much that i seldom listen to it

Dominic Miller who plays guitar here wrote the riff and gave it to Sting. Sting listened to it and found the story of a gambler who plays to figure out the secrets of life but it's also about how difficult it is to live with someone who doesn't betray his thoughts or emotions. The legendary Larry Adler played Harmonica on this track for the album recording. The song has been sampled over 100 times and used in various TV and film. Ten Summoner's Tales is Sting's seminal work. Do yourself a favor and take 50 minutes and listen to the entire album. The video was from the home video version of the recording of the album. It won a Grammy for best long form video. The film was made at Sting castle the Lake House in the English countryside near Stonehenge.
