Sting - Shape of My Heart | FIRST TIME REACTION | (Official Music Video)

[@Hohum37]

The instrument is 12-hole chromatic harmonica played by Brendan Power

[@g54b95]

Um, no. Sting doesn't sample anyone. They sample him. And that's his BACK YARD in the beginning of the video. Yes, he wrote this.

[@peterappleby1628]

I watched an interview with Sting about this album and where his musical ideas came from. He said on reflection, many of the ideas originated from the music of J S Bach.

[@MartinGsl]

It's not sampled from another song, more likely the other way around. Christina Aguileras "Genie in a Bottle" is from 1999. "Shape of My Heart" is from 1993. And yes, that part is very much the same.

[@nice900]

juice wrld also uses the sample in lucid dreams, thats where most people these days might recognise it from

[@shaharadegan9993]

I must admit that I was offended on Sting’s behalf with that misspoke about sampling. Sting is the genuine man a musical genius 😊

[@mnomadvfx]

@@shaharadegan9993 Lol I felt much the same way 20 years ago while waiting for The Bourne Supremacy to start playing and they were playing Queen through the cinema speakers to pass the time and these young kids mistook them for The Darkness 😂

[@georgezee5173]

@@mnomadvfx LOL To be fair, they do have a few songs that clearly homage Queen's sound. That made me remember one time while I was working at a bar, that they started to play Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door"... A regular customer (he was a bit older than me) goes and says out loud "I prefer the original from Guns N' Roses"... WHAT??!!

[@marcusrobinson-Live4Love]

The guitar riff has also been sampled by Nas!

[@gerrydantone6834]

The lyrics are genius and the music is even better. A total masterpiece in every way. Similarly brilliant is Sting's "Fields of Gold." He is a unique talent.

[@OliverTwist-kr8gm]

'The music is even better' pompous statement..No doubt you think of yourself as an 'artist '

[@creamdix]

Hi Bisscute, great song, Sting writes some wonderful songs. Bye the way that song was used in the movie Leon 1994 Starring Jean Reno, Natalie Portman and Gary Oldman.

[@davidbybee9453]

❤

[@Mickael_]

I think the movie is why lot of people already heared it

[@Bloo69]

I thought that movie was called The Professional.

[@Mickael_]

@@Bloo69 In US yes. The original title is "Leon" (cause it's a french movie by Luc Besson) like @creamdix said in his comment.

[@davidbybee9453]

Besson is one of my all time favorite movie makers, one reason is because he uses Eric Serra for his incredible scores, and of course this song of Stings. He had me at The 5th Element 👍 @@Mickael_

[@azmusiclover3384]

Yes, it was a harmonica!

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

😂😂😅

[@joejawson5264]

Fields of Gold is probably my favorite by Sting. I was in love at the time.

[@TheNotedHero]

The guitarist playing that "sample" is Dominic Miller, the guy who wrote it! You're hearing the original. Everyone else has sampled it from this song. Sting's lyrics are always great, he's a master storyteller. Check out his songs "When We Dance" and "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You" for a couple more brilliant ones. But he's got so many!

[@steveo44]

Amazing guitar riff. Great lyrics. Got the album based on this track back in the day. God I'm old!

[@alejandromartinez1766]

Dear Bisscute this song was used in the soundtrack of the movie "León The professional" to which you already reacted on your other channel Bissflix. Sting made it many years before Cristina's song

[@gravija666]

thank you! i was trying to figure out where i knew this from

[@andreasnordin9023]

This guitar part is the genius of Premium guitarist Dominic Miller, and many guitarists have their "own" version of playing this. Complex chordshapes. Great song. But Fields of Gold is my personal fav. Love your channel!

[@pianoekket]

Hands down Sting's best song. The guitar melody is hauntingly beautiful! And yes this has been sampled a lot but this is the original.

[@vincentvancraig]

While a great song, Thats an opinion, & my opinion is that there are many sting songs every bit as amazing, & some even better....& if ur basing ur opinion on the fact that its been "sampled a lot", thats your point of view, but also a pretty weak prerequisite to attaining greatness, any tom, dick & harry can sample something....& also, many god awful & horrible songs have been sampled too. Unless ur cutting a sample up to make a new riff or a new beat, sampling (in my opinion) is a pretty retarded, & lazy practice.

[@pianoekket]

@@vincentvancraig I said it had been sampled a lot because she recognized the melody

[@nitro_001newman2]

Fragile and Fields of Gold are better songs….HANDS DOWN.

[@tccandler]

The greatest lyric ever written.

[@fabianalejandroromero9075]

You have to locate yourself chronologically. It is Cristina's song that is similar to Sting's song and not the other way around. It's like I'm saying that my grandfather looks like me when it's the other way around. Just because you knew Cristina's song first doesn't mean it was made first.

[@seltonk5136]

In their mind it does. These kids are like another species . Good luck trying to provide context

[@smffeb58]

Lyrically Sting is one of the best in not only his solo, but his Police writing too. But he is just as prolific in his musical writing.. chord usage, bridge creation, tempo changes, he is genius. Fortress Around Your Heart - is a classic example of all his incredible talents rolled into a 4 minute song.

[@KESHAVSHARMA-lv1jo]

this song is perhaps one of the most sampled songs in modern history. absolute masterpiece.

[@vincentvancraig]

More Sting!!!!!!!!!!!! I dont even care what as long as its pre-2000

[@domublub]

The chord progression that Dominic Miller made for this song is amazing, it surely inspired Christina Aguilera and many others in their songs. Sting writes all his lyrics, other great lyrics could be High hopes by Pink Floyd (AOL sessions) or Don't belive a word by Thin lizzy, i love the Gary Moore live in Sheffield version.

[@chrisbeleski5913]

One of Sting's best songs for sure. Another great one to check out is Fragile. There's a live version that features Stevie Wonder that will blow you away!

[@gamechanger6285]

One of its best. And the original ! There is no more music like this these days.

[@michaelreactions]

Like said before : used at the end of the movie "the professional" called "Leon" in France and the instrument is a synthesized harmonica (mouth organ)

[@AllmondISP]

One of my favorite songs ever. Just like the movie "Leon", it appeared in.

[@mikehigbee2320]

This song is from the album "Ten Summoner's Tales" It's a perfect album. Each song is a unique gem. I highly recommend!

[@Ocrilat]

Sting is an amazing storyteller/poet. Another song that I love that is along these lines is 'Why Should I Cry for You?'. Breaks my heart every time I listen to it.

[@KyleS.1987]

Great song. The Soul Cages is an incredible album.

[@Ocrilat]

@@KyleS.1987 Agreed.

[@renecarlojuico8635]

Sting - Fragile .... My crush madalina❤❤❤❤

[@stevenlilelogistics6673]

One of my favorite Sting songs. Thanks.

[@nightsin2dreams]

The harmonica on this is played by Larry Addler. He was exceptional.

[@corralescoyote]

I’d forgotten about this great album 10 Summoner’s Tales. Thank you for reminding me❤

[@AmjadAliSyd]

Thank you for reacting to this and thank you to whoever recommended it.🤝🏼

[@Ocrilat]

Yeah in this era people didn't 'sample' in their original songs. Back then 'sampling' was called copyright infringement.

[@douglasgreen437]

😂

[@lroa6913]

Absolutely a masterpiece. Sting's best song

[@yarsivad000.5]

They recorded this album like this. This is the recording that is on the album all playing live and being videotaped. I have this film and audio disc.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

And when you start to think that he couldn't possibly have any more great songs,, Sting "Love Is The Seventh Wave" (Official Music Video A MUST) 🎶🎸🌊

[@AxLiavo]

Hello Bisscute, you reacted to one of my favorite songs from childhood! When I saw YT notification I almost screamed 😂 I'm glad you liked it too. This song appeared before Aguilera's song and the guitarist said in an interview that he used this riff as warm-up because it is simple and classical music-based, but Sting really liked it and THE SONG was born) and yes it was harmonica

[@TheRtpbuc]

That melody is a practice exercise created by Sting's guitarist Dominic. It's based on Bach. Dominic was using it to practice, Sting heard it, went for a walk and came back with the lyrics for this song.

[@Marc310380]

Hey Bisscute! Thanks for this reaction to my hero Sting, hope to discover a lot more of your videos about him now and in the future :) The guitar part, quite obviously the center and foundation of the song, was written by Sting's long time guitar player Dominic Miller. He actually invented it as a kind of exercise, then Sting heard it and came up with the lyric. Like others already wrote in the comments, it has been featured on many other songs since then, with or without Sting's participation. Like Craig David Rise and fall, Sugababes Shapes, or lately Juice WRLD Lucid dreams.

[@stefan_becker]

Sting is one of the greatest artists of our time and would never sample some other song 😅

[@csilt]

"Maybe it's just me and I'm going crazy, wouldn't be the first time." lol and relatable

[@stevepool8034]

Great choice, Biss, lyrics and melody were both relaxing and enticing. Love it. I would say that the mystery instrument was a harmonica. Bravo, 👏

[@paulhorgan6152]

They dance alone very emotional song that sticks in your mind The live version filmed in South America I'm celebrating my sixtieth birthday today and thank god that song still brings tears to my eyes and quite rightly so the best song from Sting in these horrible times we live in❤😢😊

[@Derayne33]

Been listening to Sting for 30 years. I come back to this one as much as any of his. Also underrated is ‘Why should I cry for you’, beautiful music arrangement and also incredibly unique and beautiful lyrics. The longer version is a great choice if you want to give it a listen. Keep up the fantastic vids!!

[@WazzzUpFolks]

Ten Summoner's Tales album is a magical ride!

[@leroystea8069]

It is such a beautiful song so well written by Sting and of course sung perfectly. Thanks for sharing❤❤❤

[@scottrbloom]

Beautiful lyric. Sting was a school teacher for a time and is very well educated and very well read and it shows in even his simplest songs. My personal favorite is Fortress Around Your Heart, but this is my favorite of his albums. This song, Fields of Gold, If I Ever Lose My Faith, are are just brilliant musically and lyrically. He's one of the most poetic and profound songwriters ever, and his voice is amazing.

[@babygeneral1985]

This song is the theme song for "The Professional"(1994) & it was also sampled on the Hip Hop track; "The Message" by NaS from his "It Was Written" Album in 1996

[@sherwood5103]

You probably heard before the version sung by Sugababes, called Shape, that's why it sounded so familiar to you. Sting is the original.

[@loladelajuan9698]

That is Sting's castle, you have to make a react of that show, they play all that album "Ten Summoners Tale" in that beautiful place. You cannot deprive yourself of such a jewel.

[@jeremylevey5194]

The sample is from Nas “The Message”. For some reason when I watch this this video I always also always think of The Eagles “One of These Nights” and Bruce Springsteen “Streets of Philadelphia” 🤷‍♂️

[@jeremylevey5194]

Btw, it definitely wasn’t Christina Aguilera! Although, that song is classic! Not as classic as Huey Lewis and the News though! 🤙👌🤘🙏🏻

[@rogerdaly6326]

Nas sampled this song. This is the original song everyone else has sampled from including Juice World - Lucid Dreams

[@rogerdaly6326]

Biss here's a suggestion for you , react to every song , one at a time , in order of Sting's "Ten Summoner's Tales". It's an incredible album.

[@МихаилШалаев-ы3з]

Осенняя мелодия. Грустная песня. Но придёт весна и всё будет хорошо! Спасибо ведущей за репортаж! Девушка, угадывающая мелодию с 3 нот, достойна уважения!❤

[@Bloo69]

Harmonica is instrument your hearing. great song Roxanne is my favorite song ❤❤❤

[@musicacolmalocchio3481]

That Instrument in the solo should be a clarinet, and in the middle you can hear an armonica too. However "i'm not a man of too many faces, the mask i wear is one" is 1 of the best quotes in the world!!

[@corralescoyote]

Sorry no clarinet solo In this song… just harmonica played by Toots Thielman

[@rafaeldiesel1975]

You still have to react to two of Sting's most beautiful songs: "Fields of Gold" and "Fragile".

[@alienlifeform7490]

Lovely reaction, my dear. Thank you. 💓

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

Oh man...... I discovered this my senoir year of HS. So many memories. This is some great music writing. That bridge is something else. Brings me back! PS this is how I discovered Vinnie Colaiuta on drums

[@johnathanstruble1064]

David Sanchez, on keyboards/synthesizer, which can resemble any instrument, was playing the harmonica/ Alto sax ..part. David Sanchez, one of the greatest unnamed studio musicians in history. He is also in demand for live tours. BIS, wanna see David Sanchez at his best, check out "Badge" live from Eric Clapton on the one rider tour. ❤

[@GermanChea]

Reaction, the police , the song Every breath you take. Thank. Chile

[@Graumaene]

I love this song. It always makes me cry, just like the movie to the song "Léon: The Professional". I love your videos.

[@TheComputec]

Ten Summoner's Tales is a masterpiece. Every track is musical gold

[@emiliojosegomez6872]

❤❤❤ que. Lindo. Biss. Pensar. Que. Me. Crie. Escuchando. Está. Música. Gracias. Un. Abrazo.

[@tommylundholm9146]

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever made

[@brianorzel1873]

I love Sting from way back in the 70's, but I've never heard this before. I love it! If you love this, you'll love "Russians", too.

[@azmusiclover3384]

❤Love your reactions! Have a great day!! 💞

[@happymethehappyone8300]

While Sting has many great tracks,, This one is definitely in my top 3 & Is a MUST HEAR,, Sting "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free" (Official Music Video)

[@rollsroyce7325]

Harmonica

[@HuyTran-qw2vx]

the guitar riff was sampled on "The Message" by Nas in 1994

[@Alkez617]

Juice Wrld used this song as a sample in his song Lucid Dreams

[@paintballdiver]

Thought it sounded lke a Harmonica. Keep up the great work you do.

[@justinwilton4603]

This was also used on the end credits of the film" leon " the professional)Another great song by sting is "probably me" not as well known as his other stuff and dont think it was on any of his albums (was on the lethal weapon 3 soundtrack) eric clapton is playing guitar on it :) x

[@rogerdaly6326]

Its on Ten Summoner's Tale along with this song

[@Dougy0302]

The Guitar intro (that hook) was written by Dominic Miller (The Guitarist that is harmonizing in the video). Song by Sting, of course. One of the Most Sampled song.

[@Sao-Fun]

So its just you going crazy, "Shape of my Heart" was released back in 1993 while "Genie in a Bottle" was released 1999 and they are not alike (at least to my ears). May I recommend you "Fragile" or "Fields of Gold" Both a bit sad but the writing is on another level 🤍

[@blackmore1972]

Dominic Miller has been Sting's friend and on/off band member for over 30 years, he is also a great musician in his own right

[@josecuesta4519]

The first instriment sounds like mandolinne and the last that you asked the sound its an harmonica

[@doorofnight87]

Love it, a beautiful song and a great reaction!

[@mauricioquiroz8519]

Rial music ,genius 80s, 👏👏gracias.

[@benmason9755]

PLEASE check out Russians. It's SUCH a beautiful one presenting stome truly AMAZING vocals from Sting, while the lyrics are proper GENIUS. It's a song that really makes you think, you'd love it.

[@SuperVonKiller]

There is an acoustical version of this with Sting and Dominic Miller, just sitting on a couch, Dominic Miller playing guitar. As close as it gets to perfect..

[@Archive-nt9uu]

Wonderful song & very nice Voice

[@simonfrederiksen104]

Yup - His best in my oppinion

[@kirkmatsuyama6176]

Love the song and reaction. Yes, I do believe they are similar. 😊

[@traog]

Sting's music is certainly in my top 3 artists, love songs like this, I think you'd like "Ghost Story".

[@zs7878]

Crazy this is Sting !!!!

[@markanderson4338]

Vinnie Colaiuta Drums, Dominick Miller Guitar, David Sancious Keyboards. Simply the best.

[@woodyheywood8792]

"Sophistication" Gordon Sumner aka Sting....can truly pan a song.

[@jonathanross149]

I think "Fortress Around Your Heart" is my favorite Sting song "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic" is in the upper tier of The Police

[@derwolf9670]

Beautiful song

[@neilyamashita4348]

Miss biss this is the ending theme song to a movie you reacted to called the professional! Love this song!❤❤

[@gerasimosmusicianofficial]

Maybe the song you remember with the guitar part is Craig David "rise and fall"

[@rogerdaly6326]

More than likely its Lucid Dreams by Juice World

[@carlosgabrielcarrillotovar9165]

Great video this time!! (As always of course, but this is one of my very fav songs)

[@brianspiller8401]

I'm your biggest fan 😍

[@flo1931]

[@Ryan_Christopher]

I have had this in my CD Collection for nearly 30 years now. But I still have to completely rewatch _Leon: The Professional._

[@Ryjadu29]

Quel musique !!! C’est un classique et je m’en souviendrais à vie

[@maikvogel6632]

Wonderful Rection! Grüße aus Niederbayern!

[@Gilbert0Jimenez]

Great reaction! Yes the lyrics are powerful! That instrument is a chromatic mouth harmonica maybe unidirectional with half tones. The harmonic patterns of the song you recognized could be similar.

[@sunsoar1822]

one of the most famous guitar licks of all time, Shape of my heart is the original, but its been sampled many times, in a lot of songs.

[@DickeyStapleton]

the Police "Wrapped around My Finger"...listen to it only if you really like a well written song.

[@philako6160]

Sting was an English teacher.. enough said. The harmonica/ mouth organ was in the style of if not performed by Larry Adler.

[@philipkudrna5643]

If anyone sampled this, this song from 1993 (over thirty years ago) is certainly the original. I can still see the album in yellow and black before my eyes („Ten summoner’s tales“). This album also contained the even more famous track „Fields of Gold“. Good stuff!

[@theivory1]

Check out Fragile by Sting. I think you'll love that one.
