  • this is one of those songs that sounds so much better when it is played super loud.  Similar to something like comfortably numb for example.

  • really good song love sting reminds me of my mom!

  • its about love and faith, and its up to YOU listener where you get this love from, and where you place your faith. its very personal, and all is good imo. ;)

  • ps: just i hope you never loose it. :)))

  • lmao why would you even try... this song is not about god! he is speaking about a girl... the woman he loves.... very touching and beautiful song.... i listen to this when i think of my wife... im watching her right now.... o.o (stalker madness)

  • I believe the beauty of a well structured song like this is that it can be interpreted as a message about faith - religiously or secularily. I can handle it both ways but I am a christian so that just adds another dimension for me. What a song! What a musician! What a gift!

  • This is my church music!

  • jesus???????

  • This song is beautiful and so nostalgic- I could listen to it over and over

  • Good song and good video sir, but if you pay attention to the lyrics you can see specifically that he refers to lost faith in the church, which is Jesus by extension.

    You could argue perhaps that he believes in Jesus the man, but not the Christ that the church has made him into. Referring to the bible in your description of the video thus doesn't make a lot of sense, because Sting specifically says he's lost his belief in the church.

  • Sting knows who he wrote his words about. It could even be an old car, bass, band member, or woman. I don't think virginity was his subject though. U never know. A very good song. A pop study in major chords all moving the 3rd up or down. Great guitar sound.

  • That's a great way to look at this song. It's great to listen to the lyrics and get a good meaning out of it. I like the images too. Thanks for posting!

  • OVER THE TOP, OMG THAT'S A DAMN BEST SONG, LOVE IT  !!!

  • Are you cunts fucked he aint singing about any of that shit

    its about some one he cares about you fuckers maybe if u listen closely u can here him say if he loses his faith in you i will have nothing left to do

  • I've love this tune, but never listened to the lyrics, until now. He may be singing about a girl in his life. But now, I believe it's something deeper ... Our Lord Jesus Christ, Especially when he mentions 'losing faith in progress, the Holy Church, Politicians & the miracle of science turning from a blessing to a curse'. It may be true that entertainers use 'Emotion' to touch people, but UNBEKNOWNST to them, GOD may be using them to Reach the People who may never KNOW HIM any other way.

  • la canzone e' bella...e le immagini montate mi piacciono molto

  • It's true that music is what you make of it, but as far as Sting's interpretation it is clear that he is making the point that science, religion, and military might are not where he places his faith. He goes out of his way to point out the downfall of each of these organized belief systems.

    Frankly, I never realized how much he appreciated the human condition to the point of losing all hope if he were to lose his faith in humanity (A person, A people, etc.)

    Bona Fides ("Good Faith")

  • BEAUTIFUL SONG !

  • I read a lot of talk about the contextual relevance of this song so let me say this; Sting is an entertainer he writes songs for people to hear them. He like, many other entertainers use their emotional connections to touch people (most musicians will) ;me being a musician, I would hope I could also do that. If I were to play this tune I would relate it to Jesus Christ, sting is obviously singing it to someone he loves (if you believe that emotional connection) I love Jesus, thats the relevance.

  • ♥ THIS SONG!

  • for me this song is about life itself

  • why do u beleve in jesus and not mohamed?

  • @letsloveelp Shall this be a serious question?

  • Faith in every human.

  • I love Sting, this song has NOTHING to do with religion...

  • appreciate your feedback..that is what music is all about..It is on a personal level for the individual...I totally hear a song from the heart for our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ...videos are made from the heart of the indivudual..a creative force...mine comes from above..God Bless and Keep you..

  • How does this not have more views?? It's awesome ^^

  • AMEN to that!! Thx 4 putting this up!! This is FAR AND AWAY a poignant, firm and worth-watching vid. To GOD be the GLORY!!

  • God Stings wife is UGLY

  • this song is not about faith in god, instead that song talks about faith in someone that he loved.

  • I appreciate your comment..because a song can be about anything the listener hears in it..I understand the message you here..but, this song always makes me think about Jesus, Jah, Jehovah..whatever you choose to call HIM...All my faith is in HIM..God bless you always..

  • @sherrylynn70... I have always had the same thought about this song. Being a Christian musician myself, I have always fought the temptation of bringing this song to church and sing it to our Lord.

    I can understand people disagreeing with this because Sting is far from religious. In fact, I think he is Buddhist. However, if Sting has lost all of his faith and place it on a human, that would make him the most stupid man on earth.

    I think Sting is definitely smarter than that...

  • @El7Cantante7 I'm sorry but faith in people is a way better thing than faith in a deity, that in my opinion does not exist. I'm not trying to offend you i'm just merely laying my opinion, like you are. P.S you should sing it to the lord, if he does exist, i think he will like it

  • @CaptainJones32 I understand your comment because you have to know God in order to believe and have faith in Him. My prayer is that He will reveal Himself to you as He did to me. I think I will follow your advice and sing the song to Him.

    God bless 

  • @sherrylynn70. Not only that, Sting is an Atheist. Using this song to glorify your god is kind of a slap in the face of your creator. Why don't you religious fanatics just write your own music? This song was written about someone he loved, not god.

  • @JoesMechanic For Sting - or anyone else - to be an athiest is a slap in the face to the One who created him. With this in mind, I would say that using the athiest's creation to glorify God isn't that bad at all. All glory belongs to God - not Sting, not his wife/girlfriend; GOD ALONE.

  • @sherrylynn70 I agree with you completely Sherry, Jesus sacrificed all to teach love, compassion, patience, forgiveness, hope for all life no matter what shape it comes to be. Life is Gods energy at work, it never destroys, it only creates. It is the ego greed nature of man (the only true evil) that causes all the chaos in this world. We must conquer our ego, greed, revenge nature in this life, follow Jesus. God bless your insight, reflection about this incredible music:)

  • @fabianacosta1981 - No he is singing about faith in God and love of fellow man. I notice you have little respect for God in how you addressed him in your post so I assume you are athiest or whatever.

  • @fabianacosta1981 religion kills all

  • great song. real 90's like.. I feel real meaning in this song thanx for the upload!!

  • Daniel .10:5 Then I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold a man clothed in linen, whose loins Uphaz gold.

    Daniel 10:6 His body was like beryl, his face looked like lightning, and his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and feet like burnished bronze, and the sound of his words like the roar of a crowd. (Thanks for Raising CRISTO..

  • i can feel peace with this song my self i get the deeper meaning of it,what a powerful and deep song

  • I love this video! I think this is my favorite song from Sting and you did a great job of ilustrating it with images.

  • I've always thought of the song the same way. Jesus is the only rock in this world that you can put your full faith in. God's gracecan sustain a person when literally nothing in this world can. Probably my favorite song written by Sting. I think it fits in the same vien as "Spirits in the Material World" in a way. Love it. Emotion to the core of a person's being.

  • Thanks for posting this. I haven't quite thought of it the way that you do, but it does make sense.

  • i like this videos images.

  • Very good video,and song.I love the Lord Almighty

  • I appreciate so much you taking your time to watch and comment..It does my heart good to know that you found some joy and a deeper sense of faith through this...makes it all worth it for me...It is all about our Lord Almighty..God Bless you always♥
