Great Song, boring music video, it would have been better if they shot a video following the story of the song. Thief breaks in steals the jewels and the princess...
i played the wrong version of this on youtube & i was sorely disappointed...i had 2 find this version...the album version where Sting is kicking but on the bass...
one of my many favs by sting. i love his voice & his lyrics. always have & always will & he never seems to age, either. trudie is a very blessed woman.
i think this video has something to do with the line: 'climb up, to the darkness'
he is climming and working hard, but he comes no where.
b.t.w. i knew that sting is strong (becouse he wheres no shirt is some videos :D) but i didnt know he whas so flexible, but he sed on a interview that he does a lot of yoga.
(sorry for al the spellings/grammar mestakes, im dutch and have dyslexia)
I have always loved Sting, but it seems like this vid, as well as the "official", has joined ranks with all the others (boring/confusing). I'd love to see it played out in Medieval times or even with an Arabian Nights theme. This is def one of my favorite songs:)
It's like watching a Peter Gabriel video only a lot less visually complicated to make. It makes me want to buy an ant farm but with only Sting inside.
I'm so glad to hear others say that the video here is a huge disappointment. It could have played out like a beautiful movie -- what a waste of a GREAT song! I think it is my favourite he has ever done --
Reminds me, vaguely, of some horror story about a cat accidentally getting shut in the front-loading washing machine on the tumble cycle. Or, a mime's trapped in a box routine. Very inspired, I can't say I have seen anything quite like it. Is he claustrophobic?? Looks like a claustrophobic's worst nightmare . . . love him I do, he's incredible, and just a bit hilarious sometimes. . . .
Thanks for the vid post.... IT'S AWESOME ! This song SHOULD HAVE BEEN a bigger hit than it was. I toyed with it in a studio for a while (using plenty o' digital magic, OF COURSE!) Made myself a mix with Dominic's guitar work pumped up and it makes a WORLD of difference. Also toned down the percussion and h.c. ... that helped too.
Definately a song you can imagine if you close your eyes and listen to the lyrics. This video is a lot more creative than the VEVO remake. Sting reminds me of a bug in a box in this vid. :)
I play drums about 8 years and i "robbed" this album my father xDD for 2 weeks and i play this song every day!.. orgasm pur 'cause this is very awesome to play.. jaaamin'!
This has always been one my fav songs - I always wished he'd acted it out like an old silent Valentino picture - Still Sting can do no wrong in my book
@Shorelites I was just saying the same thing when I saw the sleazy girl version! I really wished he'd taken the song 'literally" just for the joy of it! I still love him like no other.
I always thought "Big Lie, Small World" was written to get back at Gordon's ex-wife. But not this song. If anything "Brand New Day" was written to get over the divorce. Anyway, who cares, the whole record is awesome and this video/song is really good. I think all three of us can agree on that.

Sting is such a great story teller...... so why does this video suck?
i mean seriously i love this man, and have loved him for a long time, but what EXACTLY is going on here?? i am quite disappointed. the visual i had for this song is much better lol if only i had money and the proper equipment i'd make my own video for this song!
This is the original video (with the original version) of the song. The VH1 version of the video is terrible, but this is amazing. Do you know what the video means? I think there is no consistency betwen song and video... He talks about a love story, a thief and a princess, but in video there are many hands and a strange scenario where Sting makes athletic movements. What it means?
The song is about betrayal; an exotic stranger who seduces and then vanishes. It's lust vs. love and how its easy to mistake one for the other. But true love can heal all the previous betrayals. Sting experiences contortions of the human heart in that chamber and walks the gauntlet of lust vs. love. We've all been betrayed before!! Part of the human condition. In the VH1 video, Sting warned the women so that they were all gone when the betraying guys finally broke down the door. Its anti-male
Wow! Beutiful interpretation. I never thought hands symbolized lust, "gauntlet of lust", neither chamber and Sting's movements symbolized contortions of human heart. Is it your personal interpretation? That's great, really.
LOL very personal interpretation; just went through a breakup where I was betrayed though I take responsibility for mistaking lust for love on my end. On related topic Sting explored other dangers of the heart in "Fortress around Your Heart". But if you're not ready for "Rain" and the growth and hope it implies and just want to indulge in feeling sorry for yourself for awhile, try "Lonesome Day" by Springsteen" or "Tears Dry on Their Own" Amy Winehouse
sting one of the best of the world and that is all i have to say ! the artist of the 80 and 90 times still make good music in 2012
