Gordon Sumner, poznatiji kao Sting, dobio je svoje umjetničko ime po crno-žutom prugastom
džemperu u kojem je nastupao. Majka mu je bila klasično obrazovana pijanistica i od nje je naučio
svirati klavir, no jazz i gitara su bile njegova prava ljubava. Sting je odrastao u Newcastleu, gdje je
u početku radio kao učitelj, no ubrzo seli u London gdje počinje svirati kao profesionalni
glazbenik. Uskoro ga je primjetio američki bubnjar Stewart Copeland, koji ga je uvjerio kako je
rock glazba pravi put kojim treba krenuti. Tako su 1977. godine su njih dvojca zajedno s
britanskim gitaristom Andyem Summersom oformili legendarne The Police.

Njihova popularnost počinje s rock-reggae pjesmom 'Roxanne'. Pjesma je napisana kao
molba prostitutki, no zabranjena je od strane BBCa. Upravo zahvaljujući toj cenzuri, pjesma postaje
hit. The Police su uskoro objavili i svoj prvi album pod nazivom 'Outlandos D'Amour', za izdavačku
kuću A&M. Albumi 'Regatta De Blanc', 'Zenyatta Mondatta' i 'Ghost in the Machine' objavljeni su
nedugo zatim, s najmanje jednim velikim hitom na svakom albumu. 1983. godine izlazi
album 'Synchronicity', na kojem se nalazi hit 'Every Breath You Take' s kojim su si The Police
osigurali mjesto u pop povijesti. Nakon trijumfalne turneje, Sting odlučuje da je bend postigao sve što
je mogao. Na vrhuncu popularnosti bend prestaje postojati.

Stingova solo karijera nije ništa manje uspješna. Njegov prvi album 'Dream of the Blue Turtles' nastao
je pod utjecajem jazza i prodan je u platinastoj nakladi. Na njemu su se našli hitovi 'If You
Love Somebody Set Them Free', 'Love Is the Seventh Wave' i 'Fortress Around Your Heart'. Sting i
njegov novi bend krenuli su na veliku turneju na kojoj nastaje dvostruku live album 'Bring on the
Night', objavljen 1986. godine. Te godine se Sting ponovno sastaje sa grupom the Police, iz čega
je nastala i nova verzija njihove pjesme 'Don't Stand So Close To Me'.

1987. Sting objavljuje novi album 'Nothing Like the Sun', s hitovima 'We'll Be Together' i 'They
Dance Alone'. Te godine se aktivno uključujuje u asocijaciju Amnesty International, uz pomoč
koje pokreće brojne kampanje za zaštitu okoliša, a posebno prašuma u Brazilu. Povodom te
aktivnosti, 1988. godine izlazi posebna, španjolska verzija albuma 'Nothing like the Sun' (Nada
Como el Sol). Album 'Soul Cages' iz 1991. donosi hit 'All This Time', a album 'Ten Summoner's Tales'
iz 1993. godine donosi hitove 'If I Ever Lose My Faith In You' i 'Fields of Gold'. Oba albuma
osvajaju Grammy nagrade. Krajem te 1993. godine, Sting i njegovi kolege Rod Stewart i Bryan
Adams, zajedno snimaju pjesmu 'All for Love' za film 'Tri Mušketira' i pjesma istovremeno postaje hit
broj jedan. Godinu dana kasnije izlazi Stingov 'best off' album 'Fields of Gold: The Best of Sting'.

Na albumu 'Mercury Falling' iz 1996. godine, Sting nastavlja medidativno raspoloženje, na kojem
tada 45-godišnji umjetnik razmišlja o starenju i o svojoj smrtnosti. Album 'Brand New Day', hvaljen
od strane kritike, pojavljuje se 1999. Na albumu Sting spaja različite glazbene svjetove: alžirske i
bossa nova utjecaje, funk, francuski rap, jazz i gospel i okružuje se glazbenicima kao što su
Stevie Wonder, James Taylor, Branford Marsalis, Chris Botti i Cheb Mami.

Sa željom da stvori nešto intimno i osobno, poput ljubavnog pisma ili pisma zahvale
obožavateljima, Sting 2001. godine objavljuje album '... All This Time'. Album je sadržavao pjesme
koje je Sting izvodio na turneji 2000.- 2001., ali na drugačiji način, uz nov i svjež dodir. Album je
snimljen u Stingovoj kući u Tuscani u Italiji, gdje je također snimljen i album 'Brand New Day'.
Tamo je bend vježbao 8 dana, kako bi 11. 09. 2001. nastupio uživo pred malobrojnom,
izabranom publikom koju su činili prijatelji i obožavatelji. Na sam dan koncerta, upravo u trenutku
kada se razmatrao popis pjesama i kada su kamere bile pripremljene za internet prijenos, stigle
su tragične vijesti o napadu na World Trade Centar. Sting je u šoku shvatio da večer ne može
proteći onako kako je planirano, no ipak je zajedno s bendom odlučio izaći pred 200 okupljenih ljudi.
U znak poštovanja prema žrtvama napada, Sting je odlučio da će samo pjesma 'Fragile' biti emitirana
u izravnom prijenosu, a cijeli koncert i album '... All This Time' posvetio je svim onima koji su
izgubili svoje živote toga dana u New Yorku.

Od tog trenutka Sting je pokušavao odgonetnuti značenje toga bezumnog čina: 'Morao sam se zapitati
o poziciji sebe kao autora', kaže Sting, 'O čemu ja pišem? Nisam posebno želio pisati o toj situaciji,
ali kada pogledam pjesme koje sam napisao nakon toga, sigurno je da postoji veza. Nešto se događa
u ljudskom duhu i svi smo s tim povezani, bili mi Amerikanci, Britanci ili dio Islamskog svijeta.
Povezani smo s energijom u svijetu i moramo otkriti koja je to energija'.

It’s probably me

If the night turned cold and the stars looked down
And you hug yourself on the cold cold ground
You wake the morning in a stranger’s coat
No one would you see
You ask yourself, who’s watched for me
My only friend, who could it be
It’s hard to say it
I hate to say it, but it’s probably me

When your belly’s empty and the hunger’s so real
And you’re too proud to beg and too dumb to steal
You search the city for your only friend
No one would you see
You ask yourself, who could it be
A solitary voice to speak out and set me free
I hard to say it
I hate to say it, but it’s probably me

You’re not the easiest person I ever got to know
And it’s hard for us both to let our feelings show
Some would say I should let you go your way
You’ll only make me cry
If there’s one guy, just one guy
Who’d lay down his life for you and die
It’s hard to say it
It’s hate to say it, but it’s probably me

When the world’s gone crazy and it makes no sense
There’s only one voice that comes to your defense
The jury’s out and your eyes search the room
And one friendly face is all you need to see
If there’s one guy, just one guy
Who’d lay down his life for you and die
It’s hard to say it
I hate to say it, but it’s probably me
I hate to say it
I hate to say it, but it’s probably me...

Englishman In New York

I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
I like my toast done on one side
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an Englishman in New York

See me walking down Fifth Avenue
A walking cane here at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I'm an Englishman in New York

I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
You could end up as the only one
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
At night a candle's brighter than the sun

Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than a license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run

If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York...

Straight To My Heart

Well in a hundred years from now
They will attempt to tell us how
A scientific means to bliss
Will supercede the human kiss

A sub atomic chain
Will maybe galvanize your brain
A biochemic trance
Will eliminate romance

But why ever should we care
When there are arrows in the air
Formed by lovers' ancient art
That go straight to my heart

A future sugar coated pill
Would give our lovers time to kill
I think they're working far too much
For the redundancy of touch

But what will make me yours
Are a millions deadly spores
Formed by lovers' ancient art
That go straight to my heart

Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
You'll never have to sweep the floor
Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
Come and be my wife
I'll be true. To no one but you

If it's a future would we fear
We have tomorrow's seeds right here
For you can hold them in your hand
Or let them fall into the sand

But if our love is pure
The only thing of which we're sure
Then you can play your part
And fly straight to my heart

If I should seek immunity
And love you with impunity
Then the only thing to do
Is for me to pledge myself to you

But they only dealt one card
So for me it is not hard
You're the bright star in my chart
You go straight to my heart

Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
You'll never have to sweep the floor
Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
Come and be my wife
I'll be true. To no one but you...

Stolen Car

Late at night in summer heat. Expensive car, empty street
There's a wire in my jacket. This is my trade
It only takes a moment, don't be afraid
I can hotwire an ignition like some kind of star
I'm just a poor boy in a rich man's car
So I whisper to the engine, flick on the lights
And we drive into the night

Oh the smell of the leather always excited my imagination
And I picture myself in this different situation
I'm a company director, two kids and a wife
I get the feeling that there's more to this one's life
There's some kind of complication, he tells her he's alone
Spends the night with his lover, there's a trace of her cologne
And the words of his mistress, as she whispers them so near
Start ringing in my ear

Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own
You promised one day we could its, what you said on the phone
I'm just a prisoner of love always hid form the light
Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight

I imagine his wife, she don't look nothing like a fool
She picks the kids up form some private school
She remembers what he told her, he was late and worked alone
But there's more than a suspicion in this lingering cologne
And the kid's just won't be quiet and she runs a traffic light
And she drives into the night

Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own
You promised one day we could it's what you said on the phone
I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light
Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight

So here am I in a stolen car at a traffic light
They go form red to green and so I just drive into the night

Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own
You promised one day we could it's what you said on the phone
I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light
Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight

Dead Man's Rope

A million footsteps, this left foot drags behind my right
But I keep walking, from daybreak ‘til the falling night
And as days turn into weeks and years
And years turn into lifetimes
I just keep walking, like I've been walking for a thousand years

Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow,
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,

If you're walking to escape, to escape from your affliction
You'd be walking in a great circle, a circle of addiction
Did you ever wonder what you'd been carrying since the world was black?
You see yourself in a looking glass with a tombstone on your back

Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow,
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,
Walk away in anger, walk away in pain
Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain

All this wandering has led me to this place
Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness
I'm just hanging here in space

Now I'm suspended between my darkest fears and dearest hope
Yes I've been walking, now I'm hanging from a dead man's rope
With Hell below me, and Heaven in the sky above
I've been walking, I've been walking away from Jesus' love

Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow,
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,
Walk away in anger, walk away in pain
Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain

All this wandering has led me to this place
Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness
I'm just hanging here in space

The shadows fall
Around my bed
When the hand of an angel,
The hand of an angel is reaching down above my head

All this wandering has led me to this place
Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness
Now I'm walking in his grace
I'm walking in his footsteps
Walking in his footsteps,
Walking in his footsteps

All the days of my life I will walk with you
All the days of my life I will talk with you
All the days of my life I will share with you
All the days of my life I will bear with you

Walk away from emptiness, walk away from sorrow,
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,
Walk away from anger, walk away from pain
Walk away from anguish, walk into the rain.

Sister Moon

Sister moon will be my guide
In your blue blue shadows I would hide
All good people asleep tonight
I'm all by myself in your silver light
I would gaze at your face the whole night through
I'd go out of my mind, but for you

Lying in a mother's arms
The primal root of a woman's charms
I'm a stranger to the sun
My eyes are too weak
How cold is a heart
When it's warmth that he seeks?
You watch every night, you don't care what I do
I'd go out of my mind, but for you
I'd go out of my mind, but for you

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun
My hunger for her explains everything I've done
To howl at the moon the whole night through
And they really don't care if I do
I'd go out of my mind, but for you...

"La Belle Dame Sans Regrets"

Dansons tu dis
Et moi, je suis
Mes pas sont gauches
Mes pieds tu fauches
Je crains les sots
Je cherche en vain les mots
Pour m'expliquer ta vie, alors
Tu ments, ma Soeur
Tu brises mon coeur
Je pense, tu sais
Erreurs, jamais
J'ecoute, tu parles
Je ne comprends pas bien
La belle dame sans regrets

Je pleure, tu ris
Je chante, tu cries
Tu semes les graines
D'un mauvais ch‚ne
Mon ble s'envole
Tu en a ras le bol
J'attends, toujours
Mes cris sont sourds
Tu ments, ma Soeur
Tu brises mon coeur
Je pense, tu sais
Erreurs, jamais
J'ecoute, tu parles
Je ne comprends pas bien
La belle dame sans regrets...

Shape Of My Heart

He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesnt play for the money he wins
He doesnt play for the respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But thats not the shape of my heart

He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But thats not the shape of my heart
Thats not the shape, the shape of my heart

And if I told you that I loved you
Youd maybe think theres something wrong
Im not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
Those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who smile are lost

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But thats not the shape of my heart
Thats not the shape of my heart

Fragile

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
How fragile we are how fragile we are.

Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic

Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve
As I've done from the start

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day
And ask her if she'll marry me in
some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on.

Every Breath You Take

Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you

O can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches with
every step you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

Since you've gone I been
lost without a trace
I dream at night I can
only see your face
I look around but it's
you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long
for your embrace,
And I keep crying:
"Baby, baby, please!"

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you.

"I Burn For You"

Now that I have found you
In the coolth of your evening smile
The shade of your parasol
And your love flows through me
Though I drink at your pool
I burn for you, I burn for
You and I are lovers
When night time folds around our bed
In peace we sleep entwined
And your love flows through me
Though an ocean soothes my head
I burn for you, I burn for
Stars will fall from dark skies
As ancient rocks are turning
Quiet fills the room
And your love flows through me
Though I lie here so still
I burn for you, I burn for you
I burn...

If I ever lose my faith in you

You could say I lost my faith in science and progress,
You could say I lost my belief in the holy church,
You could say I lost my sense of direction,
You could say all of this and worse but:

If I ever lose my faith in you
Thered be nothing left for me to do ...

Some would say I was a lost man in a lost world,
You could say I lost my faith in the people on TV,
You could say I'd lost my belief in our politicians,
They all seemed like game show hosts to me.

If I ever lose my faith in you
There'd be nothing left for me to do ...

I could be lost inside their lies without a trace,
But every time I close my eyes I see your face.

I never saw no miracle of science,
That didn't go from a blessing to a curse.
I never saw no military solution,
That didnt always end up as something worse but,
Let me say this first:

If I ever lose my faith in you
There'd be nothing left for me to do ...

After The Rain Has Fallen

The palace guards are all sleeping
Their fires burn into the night
There's a threat of rain on the dark horizon
And all that’s left is a quarter moon of light

He climbs up through the darkness
No weapon but his surprise
The greatest thief in the high Sahara
Enters the room where a sleeping princess lies

All your money, your pretty necklace
This is my work on such a night
There's a storm coming over the mountains
I'll be gone long before the morning

After the rain has fallen
After the tears have washed your eyes
You find that I've taken nothing, that
Love can't replace in the blink of an eye

He was as gentle as the night wind
As no lover had been before
And the rings she wore for her bride groom
Slipped from her fingers and fell to the floor

Take me with you, take me with you
Before my lonely life is set
I've been promised to another
To a man I've never even met

After the rain has fallen
After the tears have washed your eyes
You'll find that I’ve taken nothing, that
Love can't replace in the blink of an eye
After the thunder's spoken, and
After the lightning bolt's been hurled
After the dream is broken, there’ll
Still be love in the world

She said take me to another life
Take me for a pirate’s wife
Take me where the wind blows
Take me where the red wine flows
Take me to the danger
Take me to the life of crime
Take me to the stars
Take me to the moon while we still have time

After the rain has fallen
After the tears have washed your eyes
You'll find that I've taken nothing, that
Love can't replace in the blink of an eye

After the thunder's spoken, and
After the lightning bolt's been hurled
After the dream is broken, there’ll
Still be love in the world
Still be love in the world.
