the songs in14/8 however vinnie (drummer) is playing a straight 4/4 groove, sometimes like motown (snare on every beat). This straight groove means then song moves from beat 1 being on the bass drum for 4 beats and then beat 1 is on the snare for 4 beats and it keeps alternating.
I've never seen this particular lineup with Sting. It's similar to the Soul Cages and Ten Summoner's Tales lineup except it has Kenny Kirkland on keyboards instead of David Sancious. Also two horns and two backup vocalists. I dig this song, but this version isn't as good as the studio version in my opinion.
really sorry, but these things freak me out sooo much! dnt read this(cuz it really wrks). u will gt kissd on the nearest frieday by the love of ur life. 2mara wll b the bst day of ur life hwever if you dnt post ths comment 2 at least 3 vids u will die withn 2 days nw uv startd readn this dnt stp this is so scary snd ths ovr 2 5 vids in 143 mins when ur done press f6 nd ur crush's name wll appear on the screen n big letters ths is so scary cuz it actully wrks ths really wrks
This was in his Hounds of Winter Album but this song was not included on the USA realease. I don't know why, I think it is awesome too. Its is amazing how many songs Sting has wrote.
Yeah, it's insane! The part at 2:43 more so. But I've just listened to my CD version, it's also 7/4. Also check out on the same album "Mercury Falling": "I was brought to my senses" (also in 7/4) and "I hung my head" (9/4 or 9/8 if you count the offbeats too). Brilliant arrangements and lyrics.

In response to the name of the rhythm - the only name I can think of is 7/4. And then, of course, in the chorus it goes to 4/4.

vinnie don't look happy at all...
Lifesucksdie123 4 years ago
Vinnie is happy. He just looks like that sometimes. Trust me, I know him:)))
kirk7524875248 3 years ago
Vinnie is intense. You don't always look "Happy" when you're intense bro. Don't confuse intensity with sadness or anger. He's intensly happy:))))
