Possibly my favorite of his songs (though 'Dead Man's Rope' is a close second). Thing about his writing is that the lyrics *mean something*. They aren't just empty bubble gum pop or hate or misogyny. A hundred years from now they'll still be meaningful.
Yes... I'm afraid to write...Now it says I'm dying. Well, my life wants me not to loose one more thing....... Sting, will you play for me? I have a field of gold where I want you to play for me.... I see you there. Maybe it will be next winter...I really see you there ....in the book of my life.
I've seen him live for every solo album, all the way back to Dream of the Blue Turtles, and highly recommend seeing him live. He usually does some great renditions of stuff from The Police, and always does several encores. When he toured with this album, he was with Annie Lennox - Fabulous!!!!
Absolutelly beautiful. Mesmerizing in its own deep, emotional way. Great lyrics. Spectacular arrangements. Flawless performances. Definitely, way better than the studio version (and that one is already great!)
What a genius this man is! After a long, successful career, he still is full of marvelous surprises. There's nobody like him out there.

Puis, âme encore plus aveugle et brisant ma prison,
Je montai d'un degré dans l'échelle des êtres,
Je fus un chêne, et j'eus des autels et des prêtres,
Et je jetai des bruits étranges dans les airs;
Puis je fus un lion rêvant dans les déserts,
Parlant à la nuit sombre avec sa voix grondante;
Maintenant, je suis homme, et je m'appelle Dante.”
Victor Hugo – Juillet 1843

Les Contemplations - Livre 3 : Les luttes et les rêves.
I - ÉCRIT SUR UN EXEMPLAIRE DE LA DIVINE COMÉDIE.
Un soir, dans le chemin je vis passer un homme
Vêtu d'un grand manteau comme un consul de Rome,
Et qui me semblait noir sur la clarté des cieux.
Ce passant s'arrêta, fixant sur moi ses yeux
Brillants, et si profonds, qu'ils en étaient sauvages,
Et me dit : “J'ai d'abord été, dans les vieux âges,
Une haute montagne emplissant l'horizon;

@shamajuju Annie Lennox, another artist that manages to always get the deepest buried emotions to the surface :-) I imagine it was indeed fabulous!
