Sting - If On A Winter's Night

[LocoRico89]

I'm gonna play this album at a Christmas party, plus with alot of other Christmas jazz, classical and pop hits

[Ninsan93]

This make me think of "wind in the willows"

[MonnicaSparks]

♥ sting *_*

[DrewR2010]

Soul Cake a soul cake, please good missus a soul cake, an apple a pear a plumb or a cherry, any good thing to make the soul merry xD

[mattttera]

Denna video är så känslomässgt laddad att jag kan känna den kalla vinden vina genom mig och jag fryser när jag upplever den.

[Ninsan93]

@mattttera

Jag blir att längta till vintern. Men det är ju ett helt halvår kvar... :/ Får härda ut

[winterbourne7]

uum..glennveaux...lovely name for a French transvestite...when you've actually written a song or created anything other than a fart on a Sunday afternoon-post ur picture and we'll all admire...until then carry on shoving ur copy of socialist worker up your rear window while humming to Paul Weller...we'll work the black seam together.

[billyhkc]

@winterbourne7

lol

what a creative response

love your post

[muyzi1]

first two second. i thought its a commercial

[glenneveaux]

Where's sting's "blonde" hair? oh, he's a natural carrot-top. too "ashamed" to show ur true colors b4, stingalingadingdong?cunt- pussy, like most, if not all, of society.

[Sigillo7]

Tuscany with beautiful snow!

[chaidi46]

OMG ......this man could make anyone love winter.....he is just a treasure.....

[robymarzo2010]

I'm completely agree....... I love magic atmosphere by STING . And now after years they don't change. I like this album more than before!

[noemii911]

It truly is a wonderful album. 

[garter10895]

Did he say "the penis" at 0:38?

[Leysin11]

Me singing I'd give my life for you ..please let me know what you think

[MrRedesri]

[snowlandblizzard]

Check at 2:41 ... You can see his housewives at work

[MagdalenaFz]

yeah...snow makes it a magic place ;)

[eyesofadiva]

Beautiful music.

[MarcusBroddy]

Beautiful album.... I love winter!

[Truds1000]

December...she is here once again...the fifth season of our lives...when our roots grow deeply and our memories once again vividly come alive. Loved ones stir in our minds and hearts as we sit before that warm fire in the den. This kind of music keeps us there! Lady N

[kemicutie]

Okay, I'm so buying this CD.

[Brighteyes1ful]

Yes sting came from wallsend on north tyneside where i come from in the UK.

[Bakkerkid]

Now I miss winter. I want to live somewhere with snow again.

[anchorrot]

@Bakkerkid well there s enough now more then we bargained for and its

fuckin freezing i hate it takes to long and uk cant cope with it see all the news ....

[ctpllr]

The conductor & producer of this album, Robert Sadin, has another great record, "Art of Love". See the music video "Douce Dame" on the deutschegrammophon1 Youtube channel.

[osagittarius]

STING IS THE BEST ..!!!!! Vote Up..!!!

[kidzsanlorenzo]

Sting didn't make a new Police album to go make this !? and Plant didn't make a new Zep album to go make blue-grass !? I hope I don't loose my mind when I get old...

[PaoCol84]

@kidzsanlorenzo you won't be the same person you are now forever.... no one does.

[MonoCabron123]

when I'm 58 i wanna be like sting. That guy is inmortal!

[abizaidmurtaza]

@MonoCabron123 but dude you are already 58 now and you look like shit...no way near sting.. :)

[JoaoR]

where can i find the video " hounds of the winter " shown here ? Love those seconds

[rammstein122]

Honestly I did like much Sting, but I gotta recognize this album is a piece of art.. Great.. beautifull and simple

[capitalsho]

CAKEY PIG!

[MsJustTin]

I love Sting. His songs weave a tale. It's amazing.

[kulle10]

verry good music

[Fisheadlips]

What a fucking arsehole this man, I hate this cunt!

[howied1965]

@Fisheadlips god ur a fucking knobhead go away and multiply with urself my friend.

[Fisheadlips]

Cunt!

[wenaolong]

I don't really know which lullaby he's talking about, which contains "terror" themes amidst their calming ones. But it is a fascinating idea. It relates to the idea of transmutation: From fear to peace. The love in the heart of the parent is the crucible where the transmutation takes place, the child supplies the ingredients and the place for the product. The love of the parent is multiplied. The seed of love is also planted in the child. Soul cake.

[altavistacop]

Rock-a-bye baby on the treetop

When the wind blows, the cradle will rock

When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall

And down will come baby, cradle and all.

[wenaolong]

@altavistacop Well, I never heard that one as a kid, although I have heard that lulliby. I never remember anyone saying that last line though... I only remember hearing the first three. I guess mom never said that last one, censored it or something. Maybe I needed to hear the last line back then, maybe I'm lucky that I didn't...

[wenaolong]

I love how he says "Oh no. Let's do something WIDER than that, let's do a WINTER album." HAHA! Good old Sting, still doing great things!!

[Infiniti077]

ti adoro cazzo...

[Middlesexful]

this is the best album i have ever bought!

just a tip: GET IT BETTER NOW THAN LATER...

I call it: BATHTUB MUSIC!!!!

[SAS712]

I completely agree with ApocalyptilGirl, this man is truly a work of art. His voice is so.......passionate.....soft..­..even when he isnt singing and just talking you want to stop doing what you are and listen to him. He is really something, I am a psychologist by hobby, and I do sometimes use Sting to calm people down. Sting......God be with him!

[maggymayi2]

My husband can work a 12 hour day and he says this music is just so relaxing that listening just destresses him. I also have a high stress job and Sting has the most soothing tone. The man is amazing.... My favorite artist... his writing is incredible....may he bring years and years of music to all.

[ApocalyptiGirl]

love this man. can't help but feel him to be a kindred spirit, but maybe he evokes that in everyone.  he's turned music on it's head and re-written our hearts tune. if this isn't art I don't know what is.

[felux1992]

concordo, proprio bello

[davlak2]

Bellissimo album davvero

[pinkpopcornx]

fickle yet alluring

[Conor100]

I think Sting missed out a winter song on his album. Have a listen to"Snow" by Cowen

That sums up winter, snow and love all in one song. Sting get on it!

[KCOtutti1]

I think this is one of the best albums produced in the last ten years. Sting, thank you for upgrading the level of newly produced music! And make no mistake, you can listen to this album all year. My favorite song is Peter Warlock's Balulalow. Such a beautiful arrangement. Sting does something with his voice that it sounds as if what he sings sounds backwards. Very special effect. Thank you Sting ( again ... ).

[iangoblin71]

Sting being compared to a viking warrior? Now I've heard it all.

[Dogote82]

with that beard he looks .... norse... but a warrior?

[iangoblin71]

Well, maybe. But only if he's going into battle against Stewart!

[Dogote82]

lol he would look even more the part with longer hair on top of his head... and maybe some tattoos?

ok now i'm just being silly.. sorry lol

[faxxanadu]

@iangoblin71

Soul Cake. Soul Cake. Please don't piss on my Soul Cake. An apple, a pear I'll pop your cherry. Anything to make the mood fuckin' merry. One for Peter, two for Paul. Now it's time to cup my balls.

[iangoblin71]

Mr. Sumner, that's even more brilliant than your previous releases: Dream Of The Blue Turtleheads, Nothing Like My Buns, and Mercury Balling. Continue the divine poetry, Sir Sting.

[mrsthursday]

I like soul cake mostly cos he sings in his real accent. It sounds like an old song I was surprised to find out it's new.

[Francine49]

It's not new it is an old folk song about begging for the Soul Cakes people would bake for the dead on All Hallows Eve, that of course they never ate.

[degree7]

Sting sad :(

[greatdrums]

i got Sting's autograph yesterday! i'm so happy!!

[Lenova22]

How could you do this?

[wedgetv31]

you are lucky

[fendergibs]

nice Christmas record by gordon summner

[upioromnie]

the silence of the snow-very true words...

[bongwaterlogged]

are you on the crack pipe?

[Allieandhomiez101]

I really didnt actually know who this is......my bad lol

[Phildar61]

Magnifique, Sting, Continue!

[iceaxe56]

sorry --it was boring for me--he was right it will put u too sleep

[Billygoat525]

i was at his concert yesterday

[anahowana]

@Billygoat525 ill see him this evening live in Rabat ))

[babarsonico]

@Billygoat525 I envy you, with a good envy of someone that as well as you loves Sting but is far away to be there...

[louloumala]

Sublime ...

[wwisienka]

Gorgeous album!!! Great music, sounds... atmosphere...! Love it!

[robymarzo2010]

@wwisienka

I'm completely agree....... I love magic atmosphere by STING . And now after years they don't change. I like this album more than before!

[evemctelenn]

Thanks sir Sting to promote this kind of music and theses fabulous artists ! thanks also to have some celtic harp player ! it is an honor to see that you know and appreciate this instrument !

[loveyoutodeathbut]

These songs are amazing, I asked Santa for this CD =)

[RODERICKMOLASAR]

Deja Vu: I told you I was going to do my homework on this.

[MrRacistophob]

wonderful

[maggymayi2]

I just ordered the dvd and cd this morning. I was born on Christmas day and this year turn 50. I told my husband I wanted this very badly and this morning he said order it! I love all of Sting's music but this cd promises to be wonderful. I am also a winter person and the tunes evokes the feelings of the warmth and the cold of the season. Every cord a paintbrush that creates a mental image. Love Sting's talent!

[melkrim1]

Happy Birthday Maggy!

Take care.

[wendileona]

It's not the first time Sting has walked in snow in a video... or was that rain... I know it was cold - Englishman In New York!

I like this new project though. Very nice, not your typical Christmas album and also not particularly a joyful or joyous music, but there is a sense of like he says a sort of rebirth-like feeling which can be cozily positive.

[3laurii7emfan]

I like it =D

[wheelywot]

so spiritual

[wheelywot]

he is so cultured

[TuttipazziperMeri]

oddio che timbro meraviglioso!!!

[misspeggy7]

Sting comes through yet again. He's brilliant! Not to mention how he stays so damn sexy throughout the years.

[mymmcom]

Wow sting looks very scandinavian in this video especially with that beard!

I know the north east had a lot of viking invasions, sting looks like an echo of that.

Great MUSIC!

[JulettaGrad]

I'm dreaming of a winter...

[KCOtutti1]

And you got one....maybe this is a little more than you dreamt of, but still it's magic. Here in Holland it's still mostly wonderful, the snow. In England and Scotland it's probably a little too much... But let's all be grateful that we, and especially our children, can experience a seriously cold and snowy winter.

[ApocalyptiGirl]

@KCOtutti1 My goodness, Holland is the most beautiful place on earth, I couldn't imagine it dressed in white, it must seem enchanted. Here in Atlanta, Georgia we rarely get snow, and my grandmother actually had a heart attack because she saw a snowflake (she was so happy). It's heartwarming to hear that you do appreciate it so, even though it must get REALLY old sometimes. Anyway. blessings and joy to you, dear!

-Tay

[zulejko]

summer is the best :-))

[DarkestSara]

Amazing! I love that sound!

[andytillbassguitar]

Interesting and good album!

[trumbellst]

utter shit

[MozzaMorrison]

Eeurgh - what a load of overly sentimentalised self-absorbed tosh - I like The Police but this is cheesy guff.

[Atlantikonrad]

sting says right things! W the winter , W the cold W the snows

[parsifal888]

funny beard makes him look like a street-person...with an awesome voice. Music stud.

[1S15FReud]

Extraordinary !

[scotianhopper1971]

Kind words about winter! kinda cool to be outside(deer hunting) and see/feel the snowfall as I sat beneath a spruce. No luck so I left only to have what looked like a 50 pound owl bugger off from a few feet away...we scared the be-jesus out of each other!

Sure...I'll order this CD...I too love winter! thanks "Sting-a-ding-ding"

[FrogstyleSyndrome]

best troll ever XD

[LFiers]

Whats this about deer hunting?

[gekorio]

LOL you are a genious

[edewitt44]

i love sting, hes so great!

[Mes2601]

I am a Winter person too, I thought I was more Spring, but everything comes to, tranquility, meditation and calm.

Thank you Gordon!

[Oatmeal25]

Sting: Boring since 1983

[bugmusk6]

You: Boring since you were born!!!!

[Francine49]

I found "The Snow That Melts he Soonest to be so beautiful.

[VladtheEmailer]

This CD is the best Xmas album to come out in many years!! I can't stop listening to it!

[rulia555]

молодчина судя по всему альбом будет классный

[Ephesians1957]

I like Sting love the Winter , his album is right on time .

[Alargh]

ehi anyone know if he's going to make a video ofr his new song "soul cake"?

[leverbart]

I quite agree with all said below, I love Sting' s music, especially a Hounds of Winter remake is wonderful, I totally admire his songwriting, winter is indeed a time of the imagination. Do feel that Sting is quite an arrogant man but hey if he keeps on making this kind of music... who cares?! Cheers

[peytbass]

What can you say?

Sting is like a fine, old wine.

It gets better with time.

Perhaps one of the finest performers, composer, writer, etc. of our time.

[DRUNKENRAMBLE]

Reminds me of my favorite Sting album.."Ten Sumoner's Tales"

[DRUNKENRAMBLE]

I love the Winter and I love Sting's music. Gotta buy this!

[nanrn]

What I see of this so far... I love it!!

[mattmatt679]

I'm interested in checking this album out. Sting is one of the most fascinating musicians in the world---this winter album may very well just be way ahead of the rest of us...but at the same time, if he's able to capture a mood, and make a bleak winter seem beatiful....it's worth at least checking it out

[xensboy]

As a long-time Sting fan, I feel initially disappointed by this new venture of his. The risk of being too mannered and maybe even boring is great, However, given his amazing musicality, who knows... Maybe he is ahead of his peers, and a benefit of doubt is in order. I will always love him for all the emotion he has given to people.

[KittyBaroque]

Feel exactly the same. I'm actually attracted by his intellectualism (wish there were more smart musicians) but I miss songs with a little more grunt and he can take it to the poseur edge sometimes....Still, he could just keep talking/singing and I would thud to the floor, sound resonates. I'm actually DESPERATE to hear the new stuff by Adam Lambert...maybe I've become a Cougar!!!

[okktave]

I'll grow on me, like all of Sting's previous work. But I have to say, I wish he wasn't so full of it, and a bit more down to earth. Good re-works though... Sting always created better remakes than his own originals. Couldn't you just get it right the first time? :)

[iangoblin71]

It's good to know that with all of his yoga training and flexibility, Sting can finally fit his entire head up his ass.

[PaterLappich]

Getting old in his face :-)

Sorry Sting, not a record, i listen two times.

We in Zeeland listen other trad. winter Songs,

and i never was in Newcastle.

[jbecole]

Spot on

[carlito67]

Un artista come lui è fondamentalmente 'libero' di scegliere cosa fare, quale discorso musicale approfondire. Questa deriva che ha intrapreso non mi fa impazzire, ma se non ha materiale dirompente per un disco pop/rock allora è meglio esplorare la tradizione e provare a ricreare atmosfere ancient british.

Lo spessore artistico non è in discussione... always number 1

[jfcros]

C'est peut être cela le bonheur musical absolu...

[erbe53]

oui !

d'accord avec toi jfcros;

un régal

[anselmthelost]

This will be the first Sting CD I have bought in 12 years. This is pure Magic! So excited by this!

[jbecole]

Rather too self indulgent!

[raxmeger]

Tutto terribilmente rassicurante... melodie semplici, suoni acustici. Una fuga in un inverno mitico... e in un tempo perduto... insomma poche responsabilità e soprattutto poche idee.

[pocalujmniewdupe]

this is kind of what i've been needing for a while..

[hospitalbedpan1]

ok, wtf.... is this a cruel April Fools joke?

I like his vision of winter, but the song is horrible.

[soulalone2010]

I hate to say this but I agree with you WTF. He has that whole D& D thing going on. I expect to see him slay a dragon next. OMG I agree. I AGREE!!!!!!

[rosapurpurea]

Mah sinceramente io trovo che un musicista in grado di spaziare così tanto vada ammirato, non denigrato!

Qui si tratta di una persona che ha deciso di prendere musiche della tradizione britannica e riportarle alla luce, con un'opera di filologia musicale niente affatto banale.

Lui resta un grante autore, ma che male c'è nel voler andare a scavare altrove, nello staccarsi un po' dal proprio 'ombelico' musicale? Chi dice che poi non tornerà a fare la sua musica?

[lucadi1977]

mamma mia che brutta fine ha fatto sting...un vecchietto barbuto che strimpella filastrocche davanti ad un caminetto...bah!

[reddevil82]

questioni di gusti! A lui evidentemente le filastrocche piacciono! E comunque basterebbe una fields of gold per segnarlo a vita come grande artista!

[lucadi1977]

Gentile reddevil82, sono un fan di Sting e dei Police quindi la mia delusione per la sua parabola discendente è grande. Certo, questione di gusti, ma lo Sting di "Ten Summoner's Tales" o di "The Soul Cages" è morto e sepolto...di questo bisogna prenderne atto o no?

[reddevil82]

Si certo! Anche io preferivo lo sting energico di 1 tempo.. però sicuramente ci saranno altre persone a cui invece piace di più questo nuovo! Vedremo, parleranno le vendite! ;)

[danielzorzin]

un artista di questo calibro (se ne contano sulle dita della mano destra di un falegnanme....) con la sua tecnica dopo aver scosso il modo intero con la musica su e dei police, puo permettersi di sperimentere cose nuove in modo da poter regalare al pubblico nuove emozioni e nuovi brividi durante l'ascolto del disco. Cosa che pochissimi riescono e fare Sting non si Tocca! ZITTI!!!

[WilburyVision]

The vibes on this album are exactly what Sting has done best in his solo work - from Soul Cages onwards. Really looking forward to it.

[47viviane]

well, Sting is ALWAYS good for a surprise which is nice considering all the artist (?) that turn out albums sounding exactly like the ones before. You might call it "unique style" or "distinct whatever" I call it uninspired, burned out, no creative bone left with all the STAR self-importance . So often their last quality album was the one they became HUGE with and after that it's da capo al fine (Bon Jovi, Alanis Morrissette &&). Sting always explores new teritory - a real gift to the audience

[SunlightWandering]

4 Days To Go Until Release! YES! Not only is this Sting's new album, but this is exactly the type of music I was looking for! what a great coincidence.And, a note to all the idiots out there who are stating that this album is going to be bad; Haven't your mothers told you the saying "Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover."? Music is Gordon's life, and he has always delivered quality music This album reflects what he feels is winter, and personally, I think this is gonna be a great album

[mrmiffy2000]

Interesting. I'd always been under the impression the The Snows They Melt The Soonest was written by folk singer Anne Briggs. That's what I think Dick Gaughan reckons anyhow. She'll be happy sometime soon!!!!

[sairalalala]

Hi..no snow it melts the soonest wasnt written by Anne Briggs although she did a lovely version that Dick Gaughan prob learnt it from...its in a collection called the Northumbrian Minstrelsy (ed Bruce and Stokoe) a collection of north eastern songs and tunes. Snow it melts the soonest is said to be collected from a street singer of the time (around 1820) Dont know why Sting doesnt say where he got he song from tho.

[sairalalala]

that post below was in reply to someone elses but it doesnt make as much sense stood alone! Sorry!

[mrmiffy2000]

I knew the tune was traditional. The words, I'm told came from a stand alone poem, and were adapted to to fit the tune by Bert Lloyd and Anne Briggs

[sairalalala]

Dont know! I thought it was trad, but am open to correction!

[GrooveMasterItaly]

beautifull

[iangoblin71]

8===>

[sowhatnowhere]

I'd say every man, at some point in his life, gets the itch to grow out a beard...guess Sting's time has come. Along with the tonal difference, these songs should be a pleasant change of pace.

[NuNegus]

True that about the beard. He looks awesome with it, too. And I'm stoked about this album. I'm only about to turn 21 and I already had a beard a lot like that one for four years.

[scrumsie]

Imagine that when he was in "the Police" he was told that in 20 years or more he would make a song called soul cake.

[cigliowalker]

Thank you Mr Gordon, you teach me as musician, singer & way of life :-)

[faxxanadu]

Sting? Where art thou balls?

[iangoblin71]

Is that Sting? I couldn't tell, with the hairline that's too high, the voice that's too low, and the rat-infested beard. He should change his name to "Stink"! This crap makes the gay Jaguar commercials sound like freakin' SYNCHRONICITY II. Someone call Copeland to beat the crap out of this limey. Kick him in Her Majestey's jewels- it may raise his voice a bit. "SOUL CAKE"? Did I hear that right? I'm a RITZ man myself, faggot. Thanks for the new ice scraper, Gordon! Wooo-Hooo!!!!! ;P

[SHAKEDOWN72]

You made me laugh,,,,,a lot!! although, I really like the album.

[cynthialiu555]

this winter,the only thing can make me warm will be this album.

[maurosting74]

soul cake is wonderful !!

[adel1209]

this is the magic of winter 2009 !!!!

[birdofprey35]

what i love best about sting is that he never does the "expected", and thank God because we get enough of that these days. all any artist can hope for is to interpret their vision and translate it for the world. and i think he does a wonderful job of doing just that.

[beschorner86]

waiting for this record:-)

[arwIII1970]

Winter person? He lives in Malibu.

[ikkama]

It will be another wonderful album from Master Sting.

[melarteeh]

can't wait for this~
