My mom was a big fan of Sting and would play Sting albums loud on the speakers while cleaning or cooking. She died of cancer this year, now every Sting song now brings back sweet memories of her. His music is beautiful and sentimental to me forever.

Dear Sher M, I guess I would have loved your mother, too. This song reminds me of a very special moment, when I was on vacation in Umbria, Italy at the age of seventeen in 1987, listening this song on a walkman, sitting there between olive trees on a warm and sunny afternoon, just a stonethrow from Assisi. There I realised, that Creation is God, that Love must be Truth and that there's a reason for everything and a place for everyone of us, even after death and not only in our hearts. Believe, someday we all will meet again, and we will laugh in a joy and dance on their graves... Hope you meet your mother then there too!

[@chynaschannel2815]

Your mom picked a good one to b a fan of. Toooo bad she's gone. But she'll always b in ur beating heart!!

@@sven-oliverhake3339 Beautiful Sven. In every way.Thank you.

[@DreamsSketcher]

Aw, bless you Sher. Music is so powerful. It is one of the few ways I connect to my departed father. Time, place, and feelings that are unique and without description. So sorry for your loss. I am so glad you have that music to link you, so glad she played it around the house. I keep trying with my daughter, but she has her earphones in and wonders why. Because I know that it is these little things that one day will hopefully remind her of me. Of a time together. And Sting, well, he is sublime. Take care. Ps. Heed what Sven says, he is a wise one....

[@xennial80sxberner]

What I love about Sting is that he made super dark and complex music that still sounded catchy with some great melodies.

[@dennylibertario2246]

I don't know whether you appreciate this or not, but for the rabid musician who can capture or pick up basic arrangements via ear....he is one of the most vexing artists to try and identify chord signatures and patterns....his Police music was simple chords but incredibly intricate arrangements with Andy Summers that made even that music difficult to mimic but Gordon took it all to a different level when he went solo....this stuff is impossible to figure out.

[@jazzytds]

His mother had just died. He was so full of deep emotion and pain, you could actually feel it. I later learned that he was dealing with her death per an interview, and I always suspected there was something so much deeper in the lyrics when I first heard it. His pain is immense and so apparent. The Police have followed every stage of my life, the good, the bad, the sad, and they are always there to pull me through,,,always.

[@catherineferguson5215]

So odd, I've been drawn to this song over and over the past two months. Now I know why..I just lost my mother in December. Must have been relating to what he was feeling in loss and pain and loneliness that accompanies losing a good momma.

[@KRAZEEIZATION]

This is my favourite song by Sting and one of the best he has ever written. To me 'Turtles', Nothing Like The Sun" are the two best solo albums for mood and great songs. I'm not saying "Ten Sommoner's Tales" is not great, it's a masterpiece, but in a different way. If there is one song that sticks in my mind for nearly all of the 26 years since I first heard it, it's this one. An out and out classic!

[@shemitch]

Did you like Mad about You? I love that one as well.

[@KRAZEEIZATION]

Yes, that is a great track. The Soul Cages disappointed me back in 1991 but in recent years I learned to appreciate it. It is in fact a good album. It's Sting moving into storytelling rather than the usual 'this is what's happening in the world' and socio-politics of his earlier works. Island of Souls is fantastic, along with Mad About You. Side two of the LP was a quieter affair but the maturity is there with some strong lyrics and subtle melodies. I really like 'Straight To My Heart' from 'Nothing Like The Sun'. It's a superb song. Sting is a great musician and songwriter no doubt. 'Ten Summoner's Tales is a masterpiece but 'Mercury Falling' is pretty poor and this is one I don't like now. The casual soul driven songs don't work for Sting on this one and it portrays a man with very little to say in 1996. Then again I love 'I was Brought To My Senses' I guess!

[@KRAZEEIZATION]

I listened to 'Blue Turtles' this week and some of the lyrics are a little corny especially in 'Russians' the line "Mr. Oppenheimer's deadly toy"! Sting was very egotistical then and very righteous. A lot of people hated his 'I'm telling you' attitude. He was coming across as the intellectual giant of pop, campaigning for the Rain Forrest, Amnesty and trying to save the world. Still he delivered what is the most important thing for a creative artist, the music. Who cares about his views when he gives us 'Fortress Around Your Heart' and 'Children's Crusade'. I actually met him last summer the night before he played in Cork city, Ireland. I had a photo taken with him and he was very quiet. I even shared a joke with himself and Trudy. I'm not a celebrity hound but it was great to see a man that wrote some great songs that you liked growing up, in the flesh. I would have loved to do a quick interview as I am a film maker myself, but he was after an evening meal and heading back to his hotel. I saw the concert the following night and he rocked 'em all. I saw him in Dublin in '96 also.

[@Laurent75017]

The first and only I saw Sting on stage was in 1988, in my hometown Toulouse, France. It was precisely during the Nothing like the sun tour. 3 hours of magic. I remember 1991 and the Soul Cages which I found, back in the days, pretty boring. I forgot Sting for 20 years or so. But I came back to his music through Turtles & Like the sun. Great albums of my teenage days. Great memories.

[@fastdeploy]

***** That reminds me of - but in a very different sense - when The Police came and played at Aztec Stadium at San Diego State University when I was kid - I guess about 12 or 13, when they were at the peak of their original success (right around the time Synchronicity was released, '83 or so). Aztec Stadium is basically like a big bowl. We lived on the eastern edge of campus, next to what was then a sprawling parking lot (now a huge parking garage), probably around a mile-1.5 miles from the Stadium. Me and some friends were outside, walking back to my house. The way the sound projected out from the bowl it sounded like The Police were playing in a boom box right next to us. We went to the campus and of course had no money for tickets. We kept trying to find a way to sneak in around the fencing they had put up to keep people (like us non-ticket-payers) out. No such luck. Lots of security guards around and they kept watching me and my buddies. Never did find a way to sneak in but still it sounded like they were right next to us playing. Closest I've ever gotten to hear The Police play. Sorry to hear your experience wasn't so great. Many concerts these days are like that - huge stadiums to maximize tour revenue, very expensive tickets that are 2-10x face value because of Stubhub, and the seats where you'd get the most enjoyment are often thousands, easy. Nothing like when I was a kid and saw The Who, Kiss, Rush, Judas Priest, Aerosmith... and you could actually afford it (or, well, my parents could anyway). Anytime my 13 y.o. wants to go to a concert, it's almost impossible to afford even crappy tickets and because everything is online most face value tickets are sold in seconds.

His music defies popular music convention. He melds reggae, latin, eastern folk, funk, straight ahead grooves twisted with odd time signatures. He also had the very best musicians working with him. He has ensured his longevity and relevance...

_"Be still my beating heart"_ is the start phrase to this fascinating composition by Sting. The phrase is already out there in varied literary forms going back 300 years or more. No doubt Sting has pulled out that poetic phrase from his literary knowledge and built his song around it. I hadn't known of Sting's lyrics until having heard the arresting phrase the-day-before-yesterday quoted by a UK radio presenter _(James O’Brien on LBC Radio)_ that made me want to research the phrase online - which led to historic literary explanations and then to Sting's evocative singing. Sting - I've written a message of thanx to you and secured it in an empty bottle (not plastic) and chucked it into the sea with an embedded chip that will hopefully propel the bottle via satellite navigation and lunar tidal pulling power to your home area. Please look out for it in about ten years. 🌜

@@kathnh6795 I have loved other songs as lovely as this where the lead singer is maybe not as aesthetically appealing as Sting. He just happens to have the full package.

[@kathnh6795]

@@bellachance1206 Oh, I agree. I disliked Sting for years because I thought he was so conceited. Then I started listening to his music a lot more carefully and realized he could look like Frankenstein and I'd still love his music. I threw that comment out there to see what people would respond. And I still think he's conceited but I also think he is a gifted musician. I also loved Ray Orbison and John Denver, neither of whom had great looks going for them. That's the reason I hated it when videos came out. A song would come on in the car, and my daughter's friend would say, "Oh, I love this video!" She's stopped listening to the music and was affected by the video, which I hated and still do.

No one describes emotions like Sting. Still the best song writer ever!❤

When God was passing down the good stuff this boy was right at the front of every single queue for EVERYTHING and got it all in spades.

Interesting how Sting had a really handsome filled out face in this 1987 video. He's still a looker but he's whittled away that youthfulness into a very respectable mature appearance.

[@byronbenguche]

This was his dark period i think Sting lost both his parents in 1987 i remember him talking about this on Behind The Music

[@cafinario]

Well yes, people tend to do that you know, get older.

[@Galileus070]

What a great album. Years have come and gone, and this still sounds cool.

I wriggle like a fish on dry land. My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion. 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

"I wriggle like a fish caught on dry land struggle to avoid any helping hand",,,boy can I relate to that...

[@charleslentz3896]

Incredibly tremendous...song, lyrics and visuals.

[@Assisi4]

Every teen as that one song that perfectly personifies their teenage angst. This was mine. Ah the 80's 😉

[@MarionFiedlerMusic]

What a song. Feels like this song has always been in my life.

[@dft432]

Sting's 1985=88 solo years were when his best post-Police music was made....the early solo stuff sounds like it could fit in with his Police years

[@vladobozinoski101264q]

great poetry,great music,great man

[@borgullet3376]

Beautiful model...Mitzi Martin has got to be the most beautiful model of that era. Period

[@Hagermeister2112]

THANK YOU! It was driving me crazy trying to find out who this beautiful girl in the vid was!

[@atomgamer6598]

I love this song. I grew up listening to that and even learned English translating these verses.

[@starfinder3854]

Mr.Sting is sidekick for my soul when I look for an answer🙏🤞🏻

[@marvhartigan3677]

This is why I love Sting.

[@danaterrell3099]

Sting always take me back to a place of innocence... I had dreams of being everything and affecting and infecting the world with love. I know that sounds very flower child-ish... lol. but I did. I was soooo young.

[@sharlenesingh8939]

i agree

[@jelenamiljkovic542]

that s beautiful

[@oscoe]

What a great perspective you had! I hope you still manage to do it (maybe in smaller ways!). I think many people must share similar thoughts. Life can be tough - ultimately we are all only one person, but giving love as much as you can keeps the world smiling day by day by day!

[@aarondavid5866]

you cant infect or create love in everyone. you have to defeat evil with violence or intelligence with love as its motivation

[@hagstruan1140]

You have plenty of time.

[@jazzytds]

Your voice covers me like a warm blanket. I'm like a babe clinging to the skirt of her mum, you have been there when no one was...thank you Sting.

[@UFOSHOW1]

Sting is one of those long interval special once every so hundred years Artist. His introspection and ability to connect with different eras,namely ancient european orthodoxy and revive the micro details in such a articulate way,that it becomes a world experience to listen to his music. His music admonishes a deeper introspection of the vast tentacles of the world around us all. Long live Sting

[@ronniedobbs393]

well fucking said

My feelings to a T. You are very spiritual to be here.

What?

[@lightningbuster]

This song's been out for 34 years now why the hell am I just hearing this now for the first time???

[@adrienne3334]

I adore Sting and always have done and always will. This song is something else...the music is so intoxicating it touches my soul. Be still my beating heart ♥ Sting forever and ever!
