  • so schön

    <3

  • W ENZO NAPOLI!

  • is it just me or do i hear a strange noise at 0.58 ?

    just saying

  • I've never noticed this before, but this video and the one for Peter Gabriel's Big Time, start the same way!

  • They are aliens, they are all legal aliens ... I'm a Frenchman in England ! Peace ;)

  • In my opinion this is Sting's created masterpiece as a solo artist.

  • watch the cover of this song by bamboo...its pretty cool

  • New York 80 so is touching. As a matter of fact it has not changed. "I'm an alien I'm a legal alien", "Be yourself no matter what they say" and jazz tune perfect

  • I prefer coffee thanks, and I like my toast drowned with tons of Nutella spread too

    Sorry not very Englishman like.

    More like fat American

  • Try think, try be free in your life, after death is nothing, but the life is not only pleasure, try see more in the life, more beautiful thing except material needs, financial. I know, it is hard, we shouldn't live in the wood because we are rebelians, we should live in this system and destroy system from inside. Why? If you are not idle, empty human you should fight, some humans can think very well, but often they are above society.

    Sorry, i dont know why i wrote this.

    My English ist good.

  • "jackjackgta" hey listen no problems, clearly you have some issues you wanted to let off your chest!

    Dont have a clue what you're talking about but I'm sure there was no malice intended.

    Universal Peace :)

  • A gentleman will walk but never run!

  • It`s a wonderful song endeed... i have no words... it`s great !

  • the text of this song is wonderful

  • I wish I knew more of Quentin while he was alive rather than now 10 years after his death. I would do anything to go back in time and write him a letter telling him how much I admire him. R.I.P

  • The song is allegoric...

  • I just want to know where sting is going and can i go with him. Poor Quentin he was a sweet old lady. He reminds me of me grandmum.

  • he is an alien indeed

  • Smooth, and crafted.

    It tells me a story that I don't mind listening to.

  • Im currently an englishman in yorkshire!

  • Yes, Sting has had a mustache, and yes Sting is a great!

  • es buena verdaderamente esta cancion ..

  • I used to be a Swede in London

  • Be yourself no matter what they say....

  • it's so exciting

  • The best music for Sting, my favorite.

    5/5

  • One of the best songs ever.

  • cool song

  • I lik Haruka Shimotsuki's cover. I lik them both! Shimotsuki's version is more Italian pop(that's how it sounds)

  • french montana did a cool remix of this its called We run new york

  • I'm a polishman in Clonmel...

  • don't forget where you came from

  • I never will forget my roots

  • Love the last pics of Quentin Crisp. Saw him once on the subway in E. Harlem in the 1970s. I didn't know who he was back then & wondered what a guy dressed as he did, was doing walking around Spanish Harlem.

  • Whose the saxophonist? Wayne shorter is it?

  • The saxophonist is Branford Marsalis but he looks so different with hair and and no moustache.

  • he's never had a moustache

  • He appears to have a moustache in this video, check out :50 & 2:18. I had meant to say that he looks so different with hair & a moustache.

  • Branford Marsalis

  • I'm so glad my dad told me about Sting, I'm a teenager and I love Sting because of him!

  • 尊敬する大好きなミュージシャンです

    もうかれこれ、十数年?それ以上聴いてます。この方は私にとって­なくてはならない存在です。

  • This is classic! ;x

  • Thanks so much for posting this video. I love the song but have never seen the video. I love the Soprano saxophone.

  • COOL!!

  • kenny kirkland on piano!! woooot!!

  • Be yourself no matter what they say

    A Gentleman walks but never runs

  • guys! don't forget ' bout Branford Marsalis

    real class

  • Troo.

  • help: what is the englihman saying on the end of the video?

  • This song reminds me of Alen Boston.

  • first attempt to make a pop-jazz fusion, you're a good guy, sting, you're a good guy!

  • i'm a alien to :"D

  • looks more like kenny kirkland than herbie cant say for sure though.

  • Talanted

  • Sting is one of the truly great singer/songwriters of any generation. Thanks for the posting.

  • This is Magic right here!!!This song is Classic aint nuthing like it.

  • thats branford

  • "Be yourself no matter what they say"

  • i love this song! i mean shit... he has Grover Washington playing with him... a jazz great!

  • EXELENTE MUSICO Y EXELENTE CANCION

  • very nice song

  • ^_^

  • someone can tell me the names of performers who play like 2:16

  • Just Google, "Nothing like the Sun".

  • Exactly, That is the name of the album where this song can be found!!!

  • the only ones i can identify are marsalis and herbie hancock.

  • bighello protagonista della canzone

  • personally, i feel dis was one of the best jams of the 90s

  • oboe "gusihed"

    sax

    pleasing

  • That upright growl, makes this song so devastiatingly worth listening to!

    Stig may not be considered to be the greatest bassist to ever play, but he is where he needs to be in his songs, and that counts for a damn sight more, than some of our so-called virtuosos of todays crowd!

    I'd like to see this group of musicians play again!

    R.I.P. Kenny Kirkland! Your passing has not been in vain, we remember you, and your gift!

  • Love this song.

  • 4:01-4:04

    depression-.-

    NYC 4ever

  • There are lots of Brits in NY. Very Anglophilic city.

  • Quentin Crisp?

  • yeah

  • This song is actually about a Gay English Writter that came over to the United States

    He appears in the Video also.

  • Who talks at the end of the song? Why does he say that?

  • He is Quentin Crisp, a man who had to face very hard times because of his homosexuality and no matter how badly he was treated throughout his childhood and adult life, he always smiled back. He is a legend and two films were made about his life: The naked civil servant ( with John Hurt who did "the elephant man"etc.) and "an englishman in New York (2009)" cheers

  • That's a good singer!! STING SING!!

  • como persona y como artista es una nota!!!!!!!!

  • england guys are too rude to asian. they are sux. FISH AND CHIPS?? rofl

  • arent you a bit too stereotypical? i highly doubt that Sting would be rude to anyone based on their ethnicity.

  • be yourself...no matter what they say

  • when I was little I thought he meant that he was literally an alien. like a martion

  • influenza,,,

    in New York

  • nice clip and a good song

  • "Be yourself, no matter what they say."

    That's my motto.

  • Dreben G - Racete si vdignete

  • Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can

    A gentleman will walk but never run... Sting kicks ass with just his words. The so called leaders of the world could be heros of the day if they could live up to using commen sense instead of combat gear and a gun.

  • The most famous man from NEWCASTLE

  • Wouldn't that be Robbie Williams?

  • Doe ff gewoon. :l

    He sais: Ridiculous jerk, you are such a pathetic nitwit. Nitwit is niet eens een woord, nerd.

  • tolles Lied!:)

  • what does he say at the end of the song? "If i had an ambition other than...? "

  • If I have an ambition other than a desire to be a chronic invalid, it would be to meet everybody in the world before I die... and I'm not doing badly.

  • it's beautiful song

  • I feel different, I feel unique in the world... nobody is like me... but not just because everyone is different to another... because the kind of life I choosed... is different to all my friend's ones

    This song makes me proud of being different day by day

    In Italy we say "La voce fuori dal coro"... "The voice outside the chorus"
