One of the best songs ever written. Elegance, style, jazz, saxophone, lyrics, black and white video. I always ask myself how is it possible to make a song with sophisticated melody like this, when there is a melody inside other melodies and in the end we have a masterpiece.Sting has a total musical taste , his songs are the best, Fields of gold, Seven days, When we dance, It’s probably me, Shape of my heart, They dance alone, Roxanne. And of course there are so much more. We can count and count. I love him, his music stays with me during all my life.

I know exactly what you mean. A lot of the stuff that comes out is processed to death and just rubbish in my ears and/or is more about an artist's image than sound. Some music is definitely decent but I don't think this type of musicality that was abundant in the charts from the 60s till the 90s will have a resurgence in the foreseeable future...
@GorditoCrunch3438 жыл бұрын
The fact that it took this long for a label like Frontiers Records to step up and actually bring back some classic rock/pop back to the West proves that the industry is permanently crippled. Music has been homogenized and cheapened to hell and back, and the general consumers have simply lapped it up without any regard for musicianship. It's just a crowd mentality that sadly persists to this very day. Very disheartening.
@michaelarcher15777 жыл бұрын
Music now involves tons and tons of marketing, as was discovered in the 80's or maybe even before. Cyndi Lauper had one great PR machine behind her for the time, but she also put out great music. Now, all you need is a great PR machine to succeed which is why shitty rap artists are a dime a dozen. They all make use of the "G.O.A.T." mentality to make themselves known. And the general consensus for music nowadays is that people think it's processed shit, they just don't bother to broaden their horizons and *seek out* music rather than let it fall into their lap. Crowd mentality will never get old, and good musicians must know how to work that crowd to their advantage, just like how punk rock became a lifestyle. And music is evolving, going through a shitty phase. I look forward to music in the future.

The elderly English gent in the video was Quentin Crisp, who suffered a lot of ignorance and was victimized, but never vengeful, only polite. He was an openly gay man, and the author of The Naked Civil Servant, among other books; he was often reviled and persecuted as a young man, and he moved to NYC for his older years. I worked for his literary agent and had the pleasure of meeting him once and talking with him on the phone many times.

I typed a search for something unrelated and this one showed up with 282M views on it, so obviously had to check it out. What an arrangement! So smooth, so catchy too!

Merci, merci pour votre effort cher monsieur💌 Ne parlant que gaulois je suis allée voir sur youyou la traduction. Pas étonnée du tout, c'est bien ce que mon esprit avait perçu. Un gentleman sans sa canne qui se ballade dans les rues d'une ville étrange. "Je ne bois pas de café je prends du thé, mon cher". Si les manières font l'homme etc... Sauf que ça fait un bail que l'Amérique a subordonné nos contrées. Le parapluie est devenu ridicule même par temps de pluie, de même pour les chapeaux pourtant si seyants 👒Ce que le monde est devenu s'étale sans vergogne sous nos yeux égarés. "Cela forge un homme de tolérer l'ignorance en souriant". J'y pense fort my dear, j'y pense... Clap de fin 🎬Redire mon affection pour Sting serait redondant. Mais je m'en fout.

I'd be honored if some Sting fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK and WHY SHOULD I CRY FOR YOU on my YT channel in tribute to the master of lyricism and composition. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace and stay safe in the '020s.

Very deep lyrics, I can never have enough of this song. Hard to believe it was released in 1987 and I missed this song for all these years! God bless KZbin and whoever uploaded it. :) Have been hearing it again and again since I discovered it a couple of years ago.
