i <3 the deck of cards metaphor in this song. It is all about dealing with your emotions and playing them in relationships. He says "...that's not the shape of my heart" money (the diamonds), fighting (the spades and the clubs) are not what he stands for, the heart is even distorted for his heart is real and his heart can feel. He may not be a man that easilty expresses his feelings but he does not hand out too much out when it comes to what he feels but he does pretend like everyone else.
I think the song is about logic not being the definitive measure of why one does something or not. It's a critique of social expectations and pressures, as well as an exploration of what it means to be human and what we present ourselves as. The masks are the ones we put on to rationalize events and feelings that we're otherwise afraid to admit aren't in our control, and perhaps never will, in order to shelter us from painful truths. But ultimately, they're not the 'shape of our hearts'.
This song touches my heart. It truly is mesmerizing, and Sting is my FAVORITE SINGER/ARTIST. Sting is truly a genius. And englishman in new york is fun. I am definitely classic-style. Too bad no one else has the talents of him. Sting definitely knows the taste of music.
Sting is surely the best lyricist in pop music today and the last thirty years. I love this song. Just heard it last night on one of the satellite music channels. I had no idea that this was where Carl Thomas got the sample for his song "Emotional" from, but hear it clearly now especially the harmonica at the end. Too bad there is so very little originality in today's music that even a respectable artist like Carl Thomas feels the need to sample instead of creating something from scratch.
1 day ago when you are read thid do not stop or else something bad will happened! (sorry about this) this girl's name is summer, she is 15 years old and has blond hair, many scars, and she has no ears. she is dead. if you don't copy this to more than five videos, she will appear one quiet night when you are not expecting it bedside your bed with a knife and going to kill you. this is not a joke. if you send this on 5 more videos something good will happened to you
@armagibson Seriously? You're listening to one of the most beautiful songs ever written and you have the audacity to not only breathe life into a stupid meme, but to also write that meme incorrectly?!?
@armagibson I'm stunned by how stupid you are, not just your lack of spelling, but I was criticizing you for the sole reason that you were ruining a masterpiece, and no you're under the impression I'm not even here to listen to the song? That's why I'm calling you an asshole in the first place you ignoramus!
A greek singer named Michalis Hatzigiannis (Μιχάλης Χατζηγιάννης) has stolen this song and remaked it into a greek song called 'O Paradeisos' (Ο Παράδεισος) sang by him and a woman singer named Despina Olympiou (Δέσποινα Ολυμπίου) and he also says he is the composer of the song... Someone ought to report him!
@kayffff "I wanted to write about a card player, a gambler who gambles not to win but to try and figure out something; to figure out some kind of mystical logic in luck, or chance; some kind of scientific, almost religious law."
@kayffff "So this guy's a philosopher, he's not playing for respect and he's not playing for money, he's just trying to figure out the law - there has to be some logic to it. He's a poker player so it's not easy for him to express his emotions, in fact he doesn't express anything, he has a mask, and it's just one mask and it never changes."
Continued from the last quote, Sting said this about the song in a 1993 interview
This could a song about someone who is true to them self. They love what they do and they don't do it for the money but they do it for the love of finding answers.
Beautifull song
