Sting: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

[@coolieo5000]

I hope sting just repeatedly comes on tiny desk for years with different people to sing Englishman in New York.

[@tecnosinemusic]

That'll be his calling card for Tiny Desk haha

[@arunentwistle]

Next time he'll be singing with a Swedish yoddeler

[@ricdotdev]

@Gwendolyn Williams What's wrong with that?

[@crisabelramoscedano9502]

Totally agree

[@robertalker652]

Englishman in New York was his first solo song I heard ex Police. B. Marsalis on the soprano sax and the strings, along with Sting's vocals was a marvel. It's why I really get what your saying.

Can we appreciate how professionally legendary Sting is? The guy has performed the same songs 3 zillion times and still manages to deliver intensely and make them sound original every time. Simply amazing! Furthermore, he knows his voice isn't in the best shape in this occasion so he controls very carefully how he uses it so that he can reach certain tones in the right moment. That's also very masterful.

Sting is the most determined man in music. His work ethic is second to none. Just look at his musical, "The Last Ship," he didn't roll over, he kept plugging away, until it was a success. He's done that with everything he's tried his hand at. "IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED, TRY, TRY AGAIN. Don't give up too easily; persistence pays off in the end." Thanks for the music, Sting. You're a legend.

[@MGCecol]

The Last Ship CD and production was simply the BEST!! I was able to meet him at TLS at his Toronto, Canada show. I had my picture take with him. My 1st bucket list checked off. I need to see him in a concert soon. xox

[@TimMillernapavalleyfilmworks]

I love the last ship album!

[@Auntkekebaby]

You are so right! Why I love him❤

[@karu6111]

yow man, if you didn't already know, I think this would interest you. Sodajerker podcast has done an interview with Sting about his songwriting. Pretty interesting stuff, including when he said that most of his songs start out as bossa nova which explains a lot of his songs' feel...
