Sting - Fortress Around Your Heart

[TrybalQT]

tHIS IS ONE OF THE BEST VERSIONS OF THIS CLASSICS i'VE HEARD YET! THANX 4 THE GREAT POST!

[bostonbobbyj]

One of Sting and the Police best!

[MegaPoone]

What a brilliant song, lovely chord changes a fantastic segue into the chorus and one cool double back into the main melody line. Sting is one ubertalented motherfucker.

[141981]

Great song!!!

[neontrain]

in some pics he kinda looks like neil patrick harris hahah

[jeffthrow6892]

Well I got out the "Dream Of The Blue Turtles" album out for a spin (vinyl), for the first time in MANY years, &, I was somewhat disappointed, it didn't hold up as well as I remembered it doing. However, this song, on the other hand, still is absolutely incredible, I could listen to this one over & over!

[dkthg]

@jeffthrow6892 fuck you! Sting is the king of pain!!

[jeffthrow6892]

@dkthg -- Uhh..........what's the matter? Didn't like my comment for some reason?? Too damn bad, deal with it. I also listened to all 5 original studio Police albums earlier this year & enjoyed them very much! I'm entitled to my opinion, & I don't really give a shit if someone here on YT doesn't like it. It's not like I was trashing Sting........

[dkthg]

@jeffthrow6892 LOL! Sorry JEFF; i didn't mean to THROW you off! I'm just funnin with ya!

[dkthg]

@jeffthrow6892 You're so handsome, why do you shave with a weasel?

[jeffthrow6892]

@dkthg --- Wow........did you really think that was a picture of me???? LOL.......now you got me laughing my ass off..........Maybe you should put a weasel between that cleavage of yours.........lol !!

[dkthg]

@jeffthrow6892 HELL no! I learned my lesson the first time! I dropped my pet hamster down there a month ago and i havent seen him since! Oh Lemiwinks, i miss you SO much.....

[jeffthrow6892]

@dkthg -- Nice........

[jeffthrow6892]

@dkthg -- Sorry.......I was just funnin' with ya there too!

[PaulMcCartney680]

Lol 0:41

[PigfootAbernathy]

59 years old and Sting still kicks ass!!!!!

[MyQuesnel]

@PigfootAbernathy Not to mention that he is still one hot dude! Awesome talent

[marikonflakes]

Papucho! I love him!



[mansenmias]

Such a great track! My favorite of all the track Sting has made solo.

[SuperMETALLICAmania]

He looks really good for a man his age. In fact he's 59 years old but looks at least 15 20 years younger to me.

[SupernalOne]

who hasn't yet had a love affair go to hell, and live through this song's scenario? Pray it never happens, "sadder but wiser" isn't always worth it -

[mrbriscoe2001]

Always great to read his words..What I love about Sting is,like the Beatles,he always continued to grow...And-the best songwriter-especially love songs -since Lennon/McCarthy-

[wedgem]

I love this song so much! It has often lifted me out of ruts or bad moods! It just has that oomph! The music is brilliant, and the lyrics complete it. Music at its best!

[Zonaverdi]

How good would this song have been with The Police? Such a shame that he felt he had to indulge in ths narcissistic quasi-Fusion pap. You can even hear Copeland's ride cymbal bells in the chorus. And can you imagine the guitar drenched in Summer's spacious chorus pedal? Without any of the hollow, whiney noodling on a soprano saxophone? Heartbreaking...

[vanmoody]

This song is about divorce. Sting is showing how painful divorce can be. The truth is, it is.

[vanmoody]

This song is about divorce. Sting is showing how painful divorce can be. The truth is, it is.

[smphsvet]

i love this song its very deep to deep for most people i know

[juniebird80s]

This song is just so amazing!! So beautiful!! Sting sure put out some excellent songs. Takes me back to better days. This song takes me back to days of true happiness and innocence. I miss those days. My heart just aches for those days. What a time that was! Never to be forgotten! There was a magic in the air back then that you just cant feel today and that is a real shame. This song is pure magic in itself! Missing those days but hold the memories in my heart forever!! ♥♥

[4petronius]

...thruely enjoable....grate song...grate artist

[fangirl4eva1]

I wish I could find a song that sounds like the chorus of this one. That's the best part! "And I I built a fortress around your heart..."

[AppleJackTrix]

The best bass EVER!! It rises in this song like no other. Forces everthing up.

[pwgirl92]

Amazing song!!!! Love Sting so much....

[MsKalozz]

i always thought this was of ''the police'' o. o

but its sting O: n__n

[just4funzees]

The beauty and poetry of Allegories

[littledebbie187]

Good Job. I'm impressed.

[ifly65]

Awesome!

[Marcuskristicus]

One of Sting's more "Police-y" solo songs

You could easily imagine Andy playing that chiming sequence on guitar.

[vanpauls]

@Marcuskristicus exactly my opinion

[Lunanilo]

Oh My god Sting you can sing

[missgothica656]

sounds a bit like a police song :)

great song <33

[stefano1488]

True.

It's the song that sounded most like a Police one among those included in "The Dream of the Blue Turtles".

[whenwemeet2]

"The prison has now become your home -a sentence you seem prepared to pay "

Precious love should be wrapped in cotton wool - not stung to see how long it can survive.

[sddnhad]

@whenwemeet2 methinks you miss the point.  The inspiration for this song was the pain he felt from the failure of his first marriage.

[tambourmn]

If you could actually pick a favorite from Sting this would be mine. Man what an artist--loved the band lineup in this time period as well.

[dwfeen00]

great song from Sting, shold have been a mega hit

[sanitysdoor1]

I love this song! I remember where I was when I first heard it. I was captivated by it then and it still has me in it's grasp today!

[gzrmember1976]

@sanitysdoor1 absolutly  same here

[joonview]

One of Sting's absolute best urgent lovesongs!!! Photos I had not seen... Yeah, Baby! Bravissima!!!!!!!

[Billandhis12string]

Undoubtedly one of Stings best songs. I never hear this on the radio - what a pity. This song has so much meaning!

[thrashmetalseizure]

@Billandhis12string

thats funny i actually found it because of the radio

[lyonslaforet]

@Billandhis12string I agree with you. I've always favored this song to the more celebrated If You Love Somebody Set Them Free.

[cewduncan]

A wonderful post, my friend

[ann6079]

Thanks, Beth! You rock!!

[DejaVuSu]

I adore STING......and this vid.

Loved the images and the way you worked them. Really, really cool. xo ;) 5*

[ann6079]

Thanks, Dear! :)

Really appreciate your support!

Love & hugs from MeeeeeeMeeeeeeMeeeeeee ;)

[bibbs101]

Thank you.,,,May God Bless...bibbs 101..Peace Out and Most of all Happy New Year

[wildmanchris200]

The REAL deal!

[quartertill12]

it is. very good.this man has a...i dont know quite how to place it. soft yet strong feeling for women or a woman.

[Biffs1010]

What a beautiful song

[gammonish]

Magic ... around Valentine's Day each year, I reference this song, and Sting's "If you love someone, set them free," and Steven Still's, "Love the One You're With, and lines from Macartney's, "The End," in a lecture I give on "The Economics of Finding True Love." But I start with Whitney Houston's "The Greatest Love," because before you can give love to another, or receive love from someone, you must first love yourself. Platitudes, but my students take it to heart. And I believe it all myself.

[LastStarfighter]

OMG @ 0:52 he looks just like Sam Neil [Jurassic Park]!

[loveyoutodeathbut]

Taut, tantric, tantalizing.

[colmtrim]

sting made a documentary about his first solo concert,,,i saw it about 4 times a long time ago,,it was set in a french mansion and he was auditioning for band members,, this song was included, can anybody please tell me the name of the film, i think its called the dream of the blue turtle, it was magic

[brandnewjenn]

It's Bring On the Night, and yes, it's a very good film!

[colmtrim]

thanks,,, its a great film

[camiloguevaras]

The music is fantastic and the letter a little belicus but with hard poetry. It makes me remember my love to Florencia Pinos

[nitrofidok]

I don't know Sting. Yet he feels like an old friend. Must be his warm personality. Shows in everything he does!

[caryviz]

nitrofidok - what a very king thing to say......

[caryviz]

kind, i mean

[camiloguevaras]

Este tema se lo dedico a Florencia Pinós, es medio belico pero es una linda historia de amor: como la que me gustaria tener con ella

[americansherrybaby]

My favorite Sting song. Thanks for posting the nice photo's also.

[gvrogue]

The best Sting song ever. Gay-ass comments notwithstanding ...

[sting8209]

This is one of my favorite songs by Sting. I like the photos. I go to The Police / Sting in concert next week - can't wait!

[ann6079]

Awesome! Hope you enjoy it! :)

[wwwHeavyMetalcom]

I do like this slideshow a lot better! It's got a flashier flair to it ;-]

[ann6079]

Yeah, it "needed something!" hahaha

[tranquilatus]

Another nice one Ann. I love this song. Thanks for posting.

[ann6079]

You're welcome and thanks! :)
