  • In a way, the feeling of this is a little like "once upon a daydream" a Police b-side (from Synchronicity II single) which is dark but transcendent.

  • This song, and all that Last Exit did, is available, but very hard to find. If anyone would like these songs, email me on stardustwizard@hotmail.co.uk and I will help you. Thankyou for the beautiful, sublime video. I feel as if this is the best song ever!

  • bigchinasean, if you see this, contact me, on stardustwizard@hotmail.co.uk and I can get this song sent to you. Really, and anyone else, too, this is a genuine offer, from a total music lover.

  • Tom Bates must be the only person who disliked this. Hauntingly beautiful.

  • Thank you for the brilliance of this interpretation. I love this!

  • This is quite scary yet beautiful at the same time.

  • from 0.18 -0.20 there is a Picture in the Backround , with Japan on it <3 let's pray for them ....<3

  • Among all those magnificent song he has written, this one has a very unique unexplainable thing that crushes right into my soul.

  • <3<3<33 im in love

  • What a great video,i love this song,but i have never heard this version..And it is much better than the others.Thank you!

  • such a pitty that in all other version he droped the "bridge" -

    " deep in my heart theres a whole world thats turning ..."

    i love it.

    and yeah, sting is SO DEMN SEXY in this movie gosh *_*

  • guy can't act for nuts, but what the hell it only adds to the brilliant vibe of this video. my fav tune.

  • Amazing version of a delicious song. It mobilizes all your senses.

    Thank you!!!

  • Saw this film, years ago, as I was a big 'Police' fan back then. The original part of 'Martin' [the character that Sting plays in the film} was due to be played by David Bowie. But Bowie was unavailable for the part back then. The producer then turned to Sting to play the lead, and what an inspired selection that was.

  • I can imagine stewart and andy laughing their asses off while watching this movie

  • This version is PURE FREAKING GENIUS...

    WTG Sting and the Police

  • Thank you, love the video!

  • sounds like something björk would write.

  • Wonder how i could get to see Brimstone and Treacle? I'm curious what role Sting played in it.I have always loved this song!

  • i love this song, but that movie-brimstone and treacle- is so weird.. but good lol

  • omg. never heard this version. ridiculous. want to cry!

  • I just crapped my pants. I need to get this on mp3 or something. Any hints?

  • impresionante

  • geeks

  • He wrote this for Francis. Read the biography wrote by him called "Broken Music."

  • Oh that's interesting, thanks. I gave "Broken Music" a quick read, but missed that part. I didn't think he spoke very much about Frances, for obvious reasons.

    OT: he was also unclear about why his first girlfriend died so young. He sort of implied (or maybe I misunderstood) that she killed herself, possibly over him leaving her.

  • Netflix has this movie available, I just rented it!

  • Спасибки, это круто!

  • Whoa, now that's what I call haunting!!! Never heard that version before, thanks so much for sharing!

    Sting's voice as well as his charisma never fail to get me!

  • I love this version theres a lot of atmosphere, the lyrics are different...I think?

  • I don't know if I prefer this version or the Bring on the Night one...however they're both fantastic...

  • like Tartufo Story.  fine movie..

  • the movie i find so odd and yet cant get enough of it and this song!!

  • Just want to know about the story of this film..

  • ok...sting played a conman/devil no one knows. he cons his way into the house of an older couple with a older girl "21"ISH who is traumatized by something ...but she is a vegetable of sorts. and stings passion grows for her...then he rapes her.....then we find out a dark seceret......the movie is called BRIMSTONE AND TREACLE. seems out-dated now, but still good. A movie with a story NOT ACTION!!

  • if only the movie were the way you made the video. god i want to cry myself into this world. i want to be free in my own destruction. i want life to be how you interpret it in your video.

  • oh thank you so much!

  • oscura, misteriosa, inquietante, pasional, intensa,,,, una delicia.

  • wow... the emotion with this song.. I always loved the Message in a Box version, it's just an amazing song!

  • This is the first pre-Police Sting I've ever heard. Very cool!

  • 1980-1982... Sting's best songwriting, period.

  • I have the Brimstone and Treacle soundtrack and this version is not on the album!

  • The Brimstone and Treacle's version was recorded by The Police and it appears in Message in a Box.

  • Yes :) and this is Last Exit demo from "Sting & Last Exit: 1972-1977"

  • Thank u, Gilmourka...Sting gave a very credible performance (reminiscent of a young Malcom Mcdowell), in the beautifully weird BRIMSTONE&TREACLE...kudos to your exciting ´music video´.

  • The recorded version is perhaps Sting's best song ever....

  • My God! With this amazing video I've realized that Sting is such a big part of me. His singing here, particularly at the word "lie", really affects me, as do the enchanting lyrics.

    When will the Last Exit recordings be released? I do believe that Sting is a dark genius.

    Your video is an inroad into his mystery. Thank you so much for uploading it!

  • GORGEOUS song. Perfection.

  • Gdzie mozna takie nagranie wygrzebać??????? ta wersja jest fajna ;d

  • were can i see the movie?

  • This movie looks amazing, one day I will see it!

  • This is a stunning version of the song. I saw Brimstone & Treacle years ago when it first came out in the pictures. They makers where originally going to use David Bowie as the lead part, but something happened, whether he turned them down or something I don't know. So, their next choice was inspired...they went for Sting, who was a huge star back then, not so much now. But, back then, he was massive. His acting in this film is beyond belief, creepy, and brilliant. and this song...the best.

  • did you also know the actor denholm elliot , who plays the father of the girl was hitting on sting ???? he made it his mission to seduce sting !!1 he was later known as colman the butler inthe movie with eddie murphy trading places.

  • Comment removed

  • Goosebumps time! Never heard this version before. I like best. Very nice video too. Thank you :-)

  • such a romantic  and erotic song.

    i burn for you is one of my "the police" fav' songs...and it was so intersting to hear the first version. it was nice to hear the missing house- "deep in my heart......"

  • Sting's a genius. Anyone who claims something else has no clue.

    Be quiet while listening, or it will disappear...

  • sting is not just a genius.

    he is briliant musical giffted person.

    i love how his songs telling some kind of a bitter happy story.

  • It's a very interesting experience to hear this song for the first time in original version.Thanks Gilmourka.

    A tak przy okazji to mamy zbliżone gusta muzyczne:-).Pozdrawiam

  • very creepy, but awesome movie!

  • oh, what a fucking asshole you are.

  • i ment to the stupid truth axe

  • Try "meant".

  • Let's see.

    You're enraged over commments about a once-been pop idol and sometime musician and you call another "fucking asshole".

    You amuse.

  • you amuse.

    you have a great courage to call sting "once-been pop idol" .

    you wish you had a half of his talent.

    he worte. he composed the music, he sings.

    he can play on many instruments.

    he his a phenomenon!!! and a genius.

    and i have a question for you mr.truthexe-

    why you keep showing up with your ugly comments on stings videos? like "carrion prince" ?

  • Such a beautiful & haunting track...Is there any way you could post scenes from this film? I think it is Sting's shining moment on film.

  • My all-time favorite Sting song. THANK YOU.

    Any ideas how to get a hold of Brimstone & Treacle? I have literally been looking for YEARS.

  • A very sexy song sung by a very sexy guy .. nice

  • Could you tell me what did he sing after the words "Deep in my heart there`s a whole world' ?

    Thanks for this beautiful video! Really amazing!!!

  • Deep in my heart theres a whole world that's turning

    and inners to you wich has keept my soul yearning and I burn for you

    You're welcome! :)

  • Quite good! Two thumbs up.

  • One of my favourite Sting songs, thanks for posting- what a great video!

    :)

    Check out my Police fan video ;)

  • Really nice job on the video editing (particularly the use of some of the film's most quiet scenes) and it was so cool to hear this early version of the song, which is even more sinister and intimate than The Police version.

  • Super jakość, Super Sting, o yesss ;D
