Sting - The Bridge Interview

[@mikester99]

The more I learn about this man , the more I absolutely admire him. I take, singing and playing his music an honour.

[@christopherwright8811]

I hope most of you out there will have heard Sting - along with guitarist Dominic Miller - in an hour-long conversation with the irrepressible Rick Beato. A GREAT interview. You can learn a lot from STing - and maybe even more from Beato.

[@DannyDep17]

All of my ears, if I had more I’d use them 😉 are always eager to hear Sting’s views and opinions. I selfishly hope, as I attempt to play keyboards, that he renews his musical collaborations with Jason Rebello. 🙏. I could name quite a few examples from former partnerships but one that recently stands out for me is the beautiful works these two make together on Windmills Of Your Mind. 😇😇🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@iandiandi]

I've certainly learned a lot from Dominic Miller. In my opinion a great musician and guitarist, and a genuinely nice person, totally free of ego and self-promotion - a rare quality in today's music scene.

[@Auntkekebaby]

I love this man and Iove his art, heart, and mind. Made my life so much better.

[@SharonM-q8t]

[@DannyDep17]

My initial thoughts about Sting, going back many decades, was that he was aloof. I am so glad that the many video interviews and musical education seminars have proven quite the contrary, that he is opened to sharing his life and thoughts about music unveiled and without pretension. 🙏

[@TheAngus1980]

I love when artists get older and start to reflect more deeply on their life, their career and the meaning of life and the message they want to express through their art. thank you Sting for sharing this intimate aproaching to you and your music.

[@JaimeNegron-hd3ev]

I been listening to Sting music for fifty years ... I'm glad.

[@DannyDep17]

Firstly I’d like to say that Sting is the most gifted, proficient songwriter of our times. His songs paint indelible visions about life for all to appreciate. His mastery of the English language is Shakespearian. His melodies and tonal awareness are Bachian. It’s no wonder he’ll practice not only his scales, but the music of Bach as well. But when he used the word ‘surreal’ to describe his childhood it shook me. 😳 I’ve used that word with a completely different association of the time I had living in Munich Germany. A time that was so enravishing for me that I’d often say to myself, pinch me so I know it’s real. Maybe that’s why it’s felt that his lyrics can be interpreted on many different levels. Carry on Maestro 👏👏👏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@BurningtunaDC]

Danny, I couldn't agree more. Thanks for sharing your wonderful words.

[@DannyDep17]

@@BurningtunaDC .. when someone or something inspires you.... love, in this instance, through words flows easily. 🙏

[@lydiadicorato3749]

I love the way he talks...slowly and real clear english language wich is for us Italians very good to understand👍💯🎼

[@DannyDep17]

I'm jealous @lydiadicorato3749, for Sting wanting to live in Italy and for all of the beautiful music he has created there. Your culture, zest for life and beautiful picturesque scenery, I'm almost certain Sting would say, helps him to write with mountains of inspiration. ❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@BoutYoungAnnaLee]

So much music out there, so many people trying to make a buck. Thank God for artists like Sting

[@historicusjoe121]

I appreciate Sting's explanation of the creative process and how it is his way of expressing his inner feelings and thoughts. God Bless you, Gordon.

[@farizroestammoenaf7349]

What a way of thinking , learn how to respect our own feelings and understanding the path God given of how our life should be ... I'm always agree with you , as a musician , as a human ..

[@LoveOneAnotherHeSaid]

What else would it be? That's what any "artist" does. Or were the rest of us blind and mad?

[@elsabewium4450]

Thank you, dear Sting, for sharing this with us !!!

[@JWNRW59]

This man has it all as an artist. His journey from frontman to introspective composer has been nothing short odds a joy and marvel to witness these past several decades.

[@christinescarff4920]

I grew up near the Thames and am a KNIBB from Oxford, so I love folk songs like ‘ Sweet Thames flow softly’ ! ‘ Isis or Ock or Thame, forget your olden name and the lilies and the willows and the weirs from which you came, the lilies and the willows and the weirs from which you came ‘ . We sang this at my school in Abingdon written by Mrs Kitching- remember this Stephen Pegrum ?

[@artisaprimus6306]

We get to see inside the mind of a creative genius. Most people have thoughts about their life, past and present. Very few people can articulate it in music or poetry.

[@Fado.moon-wolf273]

I'm from Japan. I love sting.

[@JnTmarie]

I Dream Sting will come to my listening room Café Artiste at the Jersey Shore Arts Center and awe everyone like this…. Listening room for original music I’ve lovingly run it since 2017. With a pandemic break. We’ve been back now this is such a wonderful interview. So deep and meaningful. He is such a gift. I’m following in a path of enlightenment and see things the way he say it. I’ll keep practicing, keep working love this. Thank you for the inspiration. Sting, You are a gift. So is this interview person🙏🏻❤️

[@JnTmarie]

Ahhhh love love this man. Beautiful in all ways.

[@rebeccaelbs7175]

💗🙏🌸thank you for letting us into your writing process🙏💗🌸

[@stingako]

I really love this interview, which teaches me a lot about Sting, also teaches me and inspires me about the idea on life, the way to live a life simultaneously, also about Sting Music! Great interview! 💙Sting is the legendary greatest musician, no doubt about it! THX for uploading the interview! 💙💐🙏 The Bridge! It’s the great album! I love it!

[@jillianOFgiggles]

Such a pleasure to listen to. His voice has melodious tone to it. Dont you agree? My favorite singer since i can remember.

[@agnesscott3617]

When you speak , it delights the artist I am, what a joy to listen to you. You are so mentally and spiritually grifted. It moves me that way God be with you always.

[@neekondrums]

"Talking about music is strange... it's a little bit like smelling sculpture." Reminds me of a quote from another great bass player, Mike Watt (I don't know that it originated with him, but he's the person I heard say it): "Talking about music is like dancing about architecture."

[@LoveOneAnotherHeSaid]

Zappa said that.

[@PrinceBlake]

My parents were both folk dancers and musicians and singers. I placed all my formative years learning clarinet mostly and sax in jazz band until in high school I heard The Police and added guitar and bass to the mix. My father had a variety band that performed about twice a month. His day job was NASA engineer in Houston. You can imagine how thrilled I was that the Police filmed a music video for Walking on the Moon at the JSC complex. In the end, it is a simple folk song with a reggae beat and a bass line that rocks. Beds Too Big Without You also struck me as another brilliant example of style-blending. In the 80s the airwaves were dominated by synthesizer pop and heavy metal and sorely needed a refreshing sound and Sting's instincts duly delivered the melodies and the positive spring in our step leading us in the direction of resolving the conflicts and circumstances before us. My wife and I began a school by a river in Japan and not long after our honeymoon she discovered the arrow of time, 935-QKK. The story of the discovery is a nice read and highly inspired by Sting's music and lyrics.

[@friedahecker6844]

"...the most important thing on a record, is to hear a voice!" ... And it s this absolutly unique and magical voice of this very special man! When i was younger i thought it was the voice with the most sexappeal in it (next to the voice of Robert Plant ;-), but now a days i find this voice (that not did change very much in all this years), sooo deep touching my heart, that i allways when i listen it, ask my self: what is it, why is it so special?? and the only answer i get, is: it´s magic!

[@victoireceleste6984]

beautiful music ! amazing Sting I love U

[@Taylor314ce]

I'm just stuck on hearing Stings voice and his beautiful guitar playing. I might get to the lyrics in a few years from now. And I don't ever need a bridge. I am happy just listening. Thank you for the music.

I saw him a couple of times 31 years ago - I sold the card yesterday. I planned to see him again on stage on Dec. 6 here in town. I take more care of my health than as this unparalleled artist. The fan-base anyway likes to hear the old songs.

[@lorianacirellacacace1596]

So nice

[@michaelyount3176]

Seems he's constantly looking for a "bridge" from the blank page to the finished song, and just past each finished song is another blank page. Another bridge to build.....from the anxiety of the blank page to the joy of the finished song. And we're all the beneficiaries.

[@marianl.2082]

[@wintersolstice1824]

(Sting) Sir. Would you please consider sharing 10 minutes of your time virtually with me regarding a very important work I began laboring in over 30 years ago? It is regarding a bridge called "Tikkun Olam", which translation is "To Heal the World". If you are not interested after we speak, I will honor your wishes and trouble you no more.

[@argieav]

Yeah, but do they love the children of neighbouring countries. Appears most of them couldn't care less, ( and the opposition are the very best, heroic Russians), hence they support a regime that routinely targets maternity hospitals, residential buildings, and food markets. Fuck Putins Russia.

"I AM NOT WHAT I AM"...

[@adrianamertea5499]

În sfârsit Eduard de Burgundia/Bratianu (Sting, presedintele actual al României sub numele de Klaus Werner Your Highness) este lasat sa-si expuna propria conceptie, o conceptie unica, inegalabila, care transforma intregul univers intr-un labirint muzical. Total diferit de toate perspectivele abordate pâna acum (mistica, religioasa, sacra, reala, fizica, cinematigrafica, matematica, tehnica, literara, etc.), conceptul sau aduce in prin plan muzica sferelor, o viziune cosmogonica a universului posedat de elementul verbal, de sunet, de cuvânt, de ritm, de muzica ca armonie a lumii. Te întrebi cum s-a nascut acest patos din spiritul obsedat de sunet al lui Eduard de Burgundia, cum a transformat mintea lui acel vas care patrundea lumea temporala (anul) a sfântului Francesco, navigând pe un pod, într-o femeie? Cum covidul, pandemia sintetica, l-a purtat dupa ce a avut aceasta cel putin stranie perceptie a realului, intr-o locuinta lacustra, intr-un RobertBRIDGE aflat sub ape? Cum "Potopul" ca si "Pandemia" au devenit supereroi care l-au condus spre descoperirea acestui pod al "celor nascuti hoti" (Robber berth bridge), un loc acoperit de gradini superbe, simbol al parintilor adoptivi, care joaca rol de gradinari? Cum copilul sau (fiica regasita) acolo in UK, il transforma intr-un idol numit David Bowie? Ne-a raspuns la toate întrebarile. Ne-a spus ca nu se întâlneste cu cei cu care cânta sau pentru care cânta caci studioul este singurul spatiu in care creaza, ne-a marturisit ca a jucat in Titanic si nu numai, ne-a aratat cum si-a creat lumea hibrida in care dublurile sale se credeau adevaratii interpreti inlocuindu-l si in prin plan si ca actor de voce in mentalitatea lor, in necunostinta de cauza, cum era deposedat precum Samson de puterea sa si de fiecare data credea ca a interpretat cântecul Ledei si nu stia daca va mai fi un altul. Renastea din cenusa cu fiecare noua interpretare sau masca...
