Sting - Rushing Water (Live on Later)

Sting performs Rushing Water on Later... with Jools Holland.
Recorded at Earth Theatre, London.

[@brendanyoung282]

Probably one of the best songs he's done since the mid 90s. Brilliant song.!

[@tobygregory8750]

True the bass riff

[@fancymortimer3247]

Dominic Miller is the most under appreciated guitar player ever. He always knows his place, whether its 110 % in the foreground, like soul cages, or back against the wall(i.e. brand new day). Sting's solo career really had a northern star, once he had a guitar player that could really comprehend the parts in his imagination. IMHO Miller is one of the best sidemen ever; he balances heavy compression and delay/reverb effects for a sound that is immediate and cavernous.

[@VIDS2013]

Dominic is great. His son Rufus is also playing guitar on the US tour--and he's really good, too! (Sting introduced Rufus at the Dallas show by saying he was hedging his bets. 😂)

[@joer2513]

Summers is a genius, but as I mature I find myself prefering Miller...

[@stockbridgeworks]

Definitely!

[@Skyrider1971]

You put into words what i've always wished to express about Mr Miller... What a king!

[@pauldavis4287]

SO cool to see Sting play as part of a power trio w just his long time guitar player and a drummer. This could be a Police song for sure…

[@thestateofartgrimsby421]

Yeah but with 24 tracks of multitrack backing them…not really power trio lol

[@65alphonso]

Reunite The Police! Let's rock the universe!!! So many fans will have their dream come true!!! World needs a new Police album!!! A number one album across the Atlantic & all over the world! Come on Miles Copeland, gets these guys together for just one album and one world tour!!!

Yes! A 4-piece kit played well is something special!

Coincidentally both of those maple fretboards practically match the finish on his drum kit.

"Rushing Water" How many times have I had this dream That wakes me from my slumber? How will I ever get to sleep again Counting sheep in a Book of Numbers? How many times have I had this dream With you walking towards me from the river? And when will I ever get to rest again Wondering if I can deliver? This is the sound of rushing water Flooding through my brain This is the sound of God's own daughter Calling out your name This is the sound of atmospheres Three metric tonnes of pressure This is the sum of all my fears Something I just can't measure I remember the story of Jonah He was trapped in the belly of a whale How many times must he succeed? How many times must he fail? This is the sound of rushing water Flooding through my brain This is the sound of God's own daughter Calling out your name I'll see my shrink on an analyst's couch Hit me with a hammer and I'll say, "Ouch" What we have here is so easy to solve Just takes a firm purpose and some resolve This is the sound of rushing water Flooding through my brain This is the sound of God's own daughter Calling out your name This is the sound of rushing water Flooding through my brain This is the sound of God's own daughter Calling out your name Your name, your name Your name, your name Your name, your name, your name, your Ease into the water Flooding through your brain Ease into the water Calling out your name Ease into the water Flooding through your brain Ease into the water Writers: Martin Kierszenbaum, Gordon Matthew Sumner, Gavin Brown

Very nice. Good to see Sting still writing great songs. You'd think as you get older, your ability to write a classic tune would improve ( this isn;t a criticism, just an observation), yet we don't see the McCartney's Stings, Knopflers etc writing/composing those brilliant stand out classics as they get older. Maybe it's youth/inspiration type thing. Who knows. For a guy in his 70's, this tune was pretty good though.
