  • Beautiful smooth silky chords and an awesome bass-line

  • awesome version.

  • @mousemconyx defo awesome version!! i have this album on vinyl !!

  • one of his best songs in my opinion

  • I love this version the BEST! And yes, the after hours Jazz/Blues feel to it is what makes it so

  • This is great!

  • This is definitely a favourite. Sting is a master of atmosphere in his music.

  • i love you sting!!!!

  • "you're not the easiest person that I ever got to know, and it's hard for us to let our feelings show, someone said 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, I had to say it, but it's probably me..."

  • It's Old good Sting :) Great !

  • U got that right ! @ fenderjones

  • FROM: SPAIN, IRAN AND USA I LOVE THIS SONG.

  • Sting: takes me somewhere far away

  • One of my favorite songs, I can listen it everyday

  • it makes me think of being in a jazzy setting, whether in a club or even at the beach at dusk in the summer, and winds are blowing, the sun is setting, and the sky has an orange/reddish hue to it. I'm w/my hubby and we're drinking our favorite cocktails and this song is playing in the background. Wow, I can see it all now! Thanks Kazekane, for uploading this version.Now this is REEEAL music!!!

  • love this cut!!!

  • i prefer this one instead of the ft with Clapton

  • This song speaks of the inner goodness of mankind...idealistic though it may be I loved this the first time I heard it.

  • @bigshizzla1

    naw... it seems to me more like its saying that the inner goodness of mankind is limited in supply so to speak. "I hate to say it, but its probably me" kind of sounds like "if i'm the one you have to depend on in order to lift out a helping hand, then this world is heartless indeed."

  • My first time hearing this version. I love 'em both. (And I'm a huge Lethal Weapon fan, so.)

  • one of the perfect songs to listen before sleeping.

  • my island is flyshit im free and clear

  • Definitely has that "James Bond" feeling, this version. Having now heard the original, I like both of them.

  • y'know what i hate to say? this is a great song,and this version is about ten times better than the one with clapton-haha

  • sting is like the pat metheny of songwriters...or the beatles of adult alternative-haha..no wait,he's the stone temple pilots of adult alternative,as well as the king of rock....

  • it's just original Sting's song without Eric Clapton

  • i prefer other version...

    

  • Another absolutely "Beautiful" song by the "One & Only Sting!"...And, the background music is just breathtaking. :)

  • I totally LOVE this song! It sounds very much like his song Sister Moon.

  • I like this version much better.

  • this version leaves less to play with when dancing, than did the kamen/clapton collaboration.

  • Hey everyone, this version is NOT the original. The original was released in 1992, with Eric Clapton and Michael Kamen. It was an artistic collaboration. Sting re-recorded this song one year after, without clapton and kamen, for the album 'ten summoners tales'

  • The minimalism and muted trumpet definately make this version essential late-night listening!

  • It makes me the of the homeless men and woman turned out on our American streets. I use decernment when giving change., but not when buying them food. The homeless and those on the street with mental illness could use friends. try being in the name of Jesus, Amen.

  • Yes, this original version is by far, the best. I love this beautiful piece of music.

  • This version is all class. Sting captures a mood here that is sureal. I remember the first time I heard this song I had my headphones on walking in downtown Philadelphia with snowflakes coming out of the night, It was one those moments where everything comes together for an amazing experience..Thank you Sting and thanks for posting this.

  • @SuperDiamond1961 you should also try the song ' street by philadelphia ' by bruce springsteen at that time

  • Love this version. Love this song.

  • I love this one... it says and expresses so much on so many different levels and dimensions to me. Needed it today. December 30th of 2010.

  • FINALLY! =DDDD

  • ALL GOOD

  • it does work but the original had a weight to it that is now missing...slow it down and sing it with reluctance...like the guilty fact it is in the lyrics.....i love this...who the hell made him feel this way to capture it?

  • It's different but it still has that Lethal Weapon feel to it.

  • I think the original version (this one) is the best. No offense to the version with Eric Clapton, he's amazing, I just love this one more.

  • @MizBubble You are right. There is no like this original version and i dare to write that the Eric Clapton one is awful

  • "you search the city for your only friend and no one would you see".

    Nobody writes lyrics the way Sting can.

    God I fucking love this song!

  • This is one of Sting's best arrangements and one of the best songs he's ever song. Back in the 90's, while stationed in Germany, my GF and I danced to this song on a darken office of a Frankfurt skyscraper. It's quite thrilling to dance like Fred Astire-Ginger Rogers with the beautiful skyline as a backdrop to the cool vibes of It's Probably Me. We'd also danced to Amy Grant's Our Love, Sandra's One More Night and Kylie Minogue's Put Yourself in My Place. Guys, place that on your bucket list!

  • @dustyaries Sounds great guy. I'll put that in my "bucket" list. I know my wife would love it.

  • such a depressing song

  • @DoinkTonberry Kind of

  • i love this song off sting very god composed and the instrumental,..i remenber the fist girlfrendi have about 15 years ago before i m ine the armey,.. all off this album ten summurs talles very god

  • @MrJorgemanuel21 Perhaps the best for me as STING

  • @Borys94 You know, I do remember this song was like the opening of LETHAL WEAPON 3, but I always thought it was this version. I didn't know there were 2 versions until now. Absolutely no disrespect to Mr. Eric Clapton, but I prefer this version. The muted trumpet just enhances this tune. In fact, I always thought this song---hell, instead of using this song on LW3, even though this song was a few years old, I believe it should have been used on a different movie---CLOSER.

  • @cjgerber19621 Man, I know exactly what you mean! For me, this song reminds me when I lived in Italy from '94 thru '96, esp. on those after-the-rain-and-the-sun-is-­barely-setting-over-the-mounta­ins-on-a-mildly-cold-autumn-ev­ening walks thru this little town of Aviano.

  • The first time that I heard this song I was living in Paris (see fenderjones below) and the description of walking along cobblestone streets on a rainy night brought the memory of 1992 back with a vengeance. I'll never forget the three years that i lived there and this song will always, invariably, bring me back.

  • nice, ty

  • its impossible to find this version now that the clapton has taken over, but i much prefer this one. oh what a classic :)

  • this is my favorite version of this song....it's mysterious...lonely....wonderf­ully put together!

  • I'm only 14 and i've been listening to this stuff for years! epic shizz :D

  • Comment removed

  • Best Version There Is.

  • Awsome song! Love it! great relaxing jazz mood :)

  • Oh man, this was the best song on a fantastic album! "Ten Summuner's Tales" was the apex of Sting's solo work!

  • I think I wore this CD out... LOVE IT!

  • masterpiece!

  • nice one..about time this version was on youtube.

  • This version has a moody after hours jazz feel to it. This is what you'd hear on a rainy night walkin down a cobblestone street in Europe ;-)

  • @fenderjones everytime I come to listen this fantastic piece I always click thumbup on your comment - is genious ;)

  • @fenderjones my vision when listening to this version is walking empty streets under the street lights at night, like in a film noir

  • @fenderjones I can assure you, times have changed :). Also in Europe..

  • @fenderjones ageed by far!!

  • Kazekane Thanx f/ posting. One of the best that Sting has ever recorded. You can hear his growth as a musician.

  • You are the man, been looking for this version online. Thanks! (Way better than the one with Clapton....:? I think anyway!)

  • @funcam6000 I agree! Hehe! :)

  • great version

  • The original and STILL the best!

  • Thank God this video is back on! I definitely prefer this version of the song. Thanks so much for posting!! :)

  • Que grande!!

  • Kazekane you are right, I prefer the original version too. Thanks!

  • beautiful, relaxing, smooth,and somewhat eerie esp. at 4:33. one of stings best

  • my mobile plays this one 4 waking me up ev'ry mo'nin... :) just luv it, thanks a lot 4 posting! this version just 859 times better than the other one with clapton...

  • @sundancer77

    Maybe you're right but you have to bear in mind, that it was recorded for Lethal Weapon 3. Harmony, chords of this version would be too strange for average audience and won't probably fit to the movie.

    I don't want to say that version with Eric Clapton is worse. That bluesy solos and violins really have that... something.

  • oh yeah! this needed to be done!

    idk why this version wasn't anywhere

    thanks my man!

  • Thanks for posting this version....it's the best!

  • I absolutely love this song! My cousin played it for me years ago and I just found it a few days ago. Want to relax? Listen to this song...

  • oh gosh ive been looking all over for this version! thanks!

  • Thank you so much for posting! This version is much prettier. Could almost go into a trance listening to this...

  • OMFG! Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!!

    I've been looking everywhere fr this song! I'ce been searching youtube and the only one I haf found were Eric Clapton feats. It was really annoying. Like you, I prefer this version. It sounds better....more classy and such.

    Abyways, thank you. ^^;
