  • If you look at yourself in the mirror while listening to this, you will begin to feel your power. Take it back and kick some ass!

  • after all these years, never get tired of it. Classic.

  • It's amazing how Sting is one of the few musicians on this planet who isn't either overrated or underrated, he's exactly where he should be =)

  • God decided that there should be good music ...so he made Sting... :)

  • indeed

  • the 2nd version

  • look at yourself in the mirror and sing this song to yourself......it's magical.

    Who can afford to lose faith these days? Don't go there, it;s not safe,.

  • sting at his very best great song

  • if I ever feel down all i have to do is listen to this song and i feel like a million bucks

  • Muy linda. Gracias

  • THANK YOU SO MUCH for uploading this!!! :-))

  • I don't know what to say...

    Marvelous!

  • great song

  • Fucking musical ninja!!

  • 5 people lost their faith...

  • @Yabyahoo i think they just lost it... 

  • With Vinnie on drums, man you can't go wrong mate!

  • ...Nothing like this song!!!

  • The best song of sting, beautiful!

  • Great great voice

  • great song, great musician.

  • not like we were going out who writes this shit for you?

  • The organ fill in the last chorus, with the bass line loping up through it, it's breathtaking...I'd love to hear this played in a proper cathedral.

  • Sting is one yet to be figured out.....we dare to live with a free spirit like him....You didn't play my song at the Concord Pavillion.....Synchronocity II.....I still admonish your works....!!!

  • @bandguyz24 Like your comment. That's an interesting remark about Sting as a free spirit and I think it makes him all the more interesting.

  • sting at his best,always enjoy listening to this track.

  • @jimmyjohnsman1 - did you check out the bass line near the end of the song when he blows 95% of all bass players away? you obviously don't get around much....sorry. Let's see anyone who plays bass like Sting and sing, well , you won't find it!

  • @ndantoni I agree!! :)

    But have you heard of Geddy lee?!

  • Brilliant such energy and lyrics fabulous!

  • Brilliant!

  • Seeing, not just hearing this man sing this song, is just amazing. His voice and execution is perfect. Thank you for this upload.

  • great song.

  • Awesome!

  • Such a good song! Thanks for the upload

  • i love sting, but he is the most overrated beginner's level bass player in history

  • @jimmyjohnsman1

    not true at all! He's a great bass player

  • @jimmyjohnsman1

    Very funny... Try to sing what he sings and play bass like he does in the same time. His lyrics always follows an odd rythmic line and play bass on it must be really difficult...

    And the music of Sting is sophisticated, no matter whether it looks hard or not... It's incredibly easy to listen to, while it's incredibly rich. He's not overrated, he just plays exactly what he must play, nothing less, nothing more.

  • @Aroun88 you are throwing out a red herring. i am talking about the man's ability to play bass. check out geddy lee from rush... he can sing just as good as sting and plays 20 times better while he is singing

  • @jimmyjohnsman1

    Throwing out a red herring? Hum... you're talking about the "man's ability to play bass" whereas the man is a singer first. :-)

    Geddy Lee is a good example. What if I said "Geddy Lee is the most overrated beginner's level singer in history"?

    What I'm trying to tell you is that bass playing is clearly not the point with Sting. He focuses on the arrangement, the quality of the melody. The virtuosity? He doesn't care.

  • @Aroun88 the bass playing was MY point though = D

    look... sting is one of my favorite songwriters. but the fact still stands that 90 percent of the time, stings bass lines are bland and boring. if he finds it too hard to sing and play at the same time he should leave the bass playing to someone else, because the music suffers as a result of his dumbed down approach to the bass guitar. and i dont understand why anyone would say that about ged, he has mastered the instrument

  • @jimmyjohnsman1 Alot of players look at Stings playing as appropriate. He's known for his minimalist playing. To Sting its not the notes you play its the notes you don't. Alot of his songs really hinge on the bass line and considering how little he plays he certainly knows the right notes to pick. Even the most technical players need to exercise restraint. 

  • @jimmyjohnsman1

    Some times the beauty of the bass line can be found in the subtleties, listen to what he's playing during the verses, its really groovy but also subtle, not everyone has to be Jaco or Victor Wooten, Sting is a very musical player, however I've seen him play some really funky stuff and flashy stuff too, check out in his playing Love Is Stronger Than Justice and also in some of his work with The Police

  • Sting very best singer and a very charming guy.I Love him very much

  • Sting very best singer and a very charming guy.

  • A master piece of a song!!!!

  • 終わり方イカす!!

    

  • 1 person lost their faith

  • nice

  • EL MAESTRO...

  • Sting man, I could listen to him all day and night. He has one of those..voices that get to you

  • one idiot have lost faith in you....

  • What a killer swing pattern in chorus. Vinnie rocks!

  • So right. One great song done with perfection to say the least. Great song. I like the studio version. Cool. Wayne

  • I bought the american laser disc release back in 1993 then I bought the japanese release on laserdisc back in 2004, I sold them both after I could back them both laserdiscs onto DVD-R a couple of years ago, no missing audio or video loss, I love to hear this release over and over again!!!

  • good tune guys what can anyone ask for more then this in a song from the heart and trust is something we all need

  • This is about 1000 x times better than the StingVEVO fakeassvideo version. Truly an epic part of music history. Ten summoners tales in Stings mansion with his "homies"! It just doesn't get much better than this!

  • he is so groovy cute!!!

  • damn what a bass line!..

  • We are seeing a legend at work

  • We are seeing a legend at work

  • i would love a dvd / blu ray of this.

  • haha that last minute is badass! never heard that before

  • Sting is my favourite musician

  • and I post thIs again for the Nth time...

    TRULY THE ROCKSTAR OF THE WORLD!!!

  • One of his best singles

  • que temaso por dios!!!!

  • At about 8:04 that morning, an awesome jam was made.

  • @downwith4kids - it's a lip synced video, stupid.

  • thanks for this version you can tell sting let loose alittle more in the beginging with that scat and classic sting "hooowl"- thats what made it for me.

  • This is a great song, but Sting is not doing a great job of lip-syncing in some of the shots...

  • @thesoundsmith - yes he is stupid.

  • @thesoundsmith That's because Sting isn't actually trying to lip-sync. What you're seeing is a live performance, however a number of the songs featured on this tape had their album versions dubbed over the video. In some cases (eg. Heavy Cloud No Rain) the originals were dubbed in their entirety, in some the audio is the entire performance you are seeing on-screen (eg. Fields of Gold) and in others, such as this one, the audio is a mixture of both the original and the on-screen performance.

  • This song was my favorite since I was in Puerto Rico and didnt speak any english back in 1993. Thats how good this song is. By the way Vinnie rocks, my favorite drummer!!!

  • These lyrics have a lot of truth and meaning to them. This song has depth.

  • I recorded this from the TV about ten years ago - never saw it on DVD. It's a marvellous show that takes place at Sting's house in the country. He starts early in the morning with this piece and play all day. The breaks with his kids are touching.

  • From the camera movements and cuts, this is pretty polished. And is probably not the spontaneous gig it's made out to be; but that doesn't detract from it being a cool video just the same!

  • ¡Excelente composición!

    Excellent composition!

  • Vinnie COLAIUTA :D

  • A master piece!!!!!!!!

  • What type of voice does he have?

  • do my wings feel nice 

  • living....hello.

    i suposed that sting isn't it but i usually do what the Holly tells me, and.......amazing things happened....blessings from the heaven to you and your family,dear "living thing"

  • The holly Spirit in me rewritte this beautifull song,with my respects to Sting....to Jesus!....God bless Sting and his family...it's a miracle....amennnnnnn!!!!

  • @quikkkaeterea i dont think sting is a Christian

  • Thanks for uploading this, I have been trying to find this video for years! Great to see it again!

  • beautiful times, one of the best of the earth history

  • that bass line is simply awesome...

  • He is not singing...

  • it looks like they're having fun! its cool that sting still enjoys making music after all these years.

  • I love how he still insists on playing bass.  I mean he could have had a session guy do it or even lay down the bass track separately. But he just likes singing and playing it I guess.

  • what a drumming coupled with those riffs , that organ belling, & that ...voice!!

    wonderful watching him perform, even if the sound is doubled...

  • thanks for this wonderful version.

    sound is great!

    it must be great to sing with such flying music..

    i am flying thanks to sting ..& you

  • why till now no dvd..?

  • Is He on a lipsynch?...

  • Yeah, during the actual song. But in the beginning of the video and in the end, both sound and video were taken simultaneously; those two parts don't appear in the actual record.

  • I think the real answer is this is a Radio Edit - as he lip synches everything perfect so it IS THEE VERSION.. it's just been produced.

  • Comment removed

  • im feel so heavy and amazing with this song

  • @couto39 That's 'cause Sting mix's Love + Hope + Faith together and they = You. Comment Approval Pending!

  • Comment removed

  • Jaka stvar, obožavam Stinga.

  • If you can ever find this DVD-BUY it! Ten summoners tales. In my mind one of his best products, and truly art.

  • You said it ....Was a big fan of Police.. Then that album..Was just so other worldly and a songwriting masterpiece... True Dat!!!

  • is it even on DVD yet? i can only find the VHS tape.

  • esta es mi cancion favorita y sting es mi cantante favorito es el mejor y tiene una muy padre voz gracias por este video de 5 estrellas que hasta yo le daria 10000000000 si se pudiera haha

  • @kamamusha i don't understand spanish but i think i like what you said!

  • QUE MOSTRO EL VINNIE!!

  • I LUUUURRVVEEEEEE IT!!!!

    Truly "THE ROCKSTAR OF THE WORLD!!!"

  • Since he is called this dvd?

  • I ripped this from VHS and could not find this in a better format yet. I can only hope!

  • @gookyflavors You did?! Hell of a good transfer. And I love these by the way. :D

  • @gookyflavors Considering how old this is... the sound is so great!

  • when's this coming out on dvd or hq?? love it!

  • LO MEJOR MI IDOLO , STING

  • For Joey.

  • Bass, percussion, keyboards.... Everything on this song is PERFECT!

  • @wibcam61 - That's because it's a studio recording being lip synced to for the video.

  • This is fine music!!! Many Thanks!!!as with much of Sting's stuff wonderful----

  • From everything I've seen this recording is from the actual sessions, including one that ended up as the radio edit. These guys played through the night. Yes, Sting is a little dictatorial with his "hired help", but knows what he wants and is plying with the best musicians in the world. I would have to watch my ego too, if I was this good and had a studio in my own Jacobian castle.

    For referance:

    Keyboards by David Sancious

    Drums by Vinnie Colaiuta

    Guitar by Dominic Miller

  • @gookyflavors That's a pretty darn killer lineup of musicians listed and present right on in there.

  • also: why?

  • 8:00 am?  really? who sings rock songs in that range at 8:00 am? how?

  • Me in the shower at 7 AM before going to work... It also helps the neighbors to wake up, jeje...

  • Does any one know if this session is what was actually used on the album ? My theory is everything was pre-recorded with the musicians parts dropped out of the mix then played live along with the recording for the video. Any one know any different?

  • If you listen very carefully some parts are different from the record, so I don't think it was like you suggest.

  • One of my favorite songs--many thank yous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I "ripped" this from VHS, and still cannot find Ten Summoner's Tails on DVD. This was filmed in Sting's Jacobian castle and is interesting to see the guys wander through the kitchen, smoking, getting something to eat, etc.

  • @gookyflavors Serious many thanks gookyflavors for this. It's a real gem. Thanks.

  • @gookyflavors

    have you finally found the DVD?? because I'm desperately looking for it !!

  • @IrishHawkmoon nothing yet, I looked just the other day. I would love this on DVD or Blu-ray. I did see one listed as 12" Laserdisk, and another as DVD audio, but all videos on VHS. -Gookyflavors

  • VINNIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! are you ready?

    and Vinnie stoped at the same second.

    I love Sting but its obviouse that he's like Stalin to his musicians.

  • I have a feeling that this recording isn't the one that is being filmed here. Any one else feel the same way or is it just me?

  • I saw their version of "Seven Days" from this session, but never this song. Thanks!

  • A Great musician----many thanks!!!!!

  • nice quite simply ^^ ;-)

  • Nobody is cooler than STING...

  • @dparr44 correction ! Vinnie Colaiuta is cooler than Sting !! Na, I'm a drummer, I've been a fan of both forever !!
