Sting is one of the few musicians who can just stand on a stage and sing...and have complete dominion over the entire room. God bless this man and his incredible, anointed talent.
Oh, Can someone finally tell me after all these years what was the wind instrument at the very beginning & end of the song ( DO,Do) for lack of a better way of explaining it. . Reminds me of an old wood indian flute my son has. It always was my favorite part of the song yet he has never had it used in the live versions over the years including,surprisingly, with his most recent orchestra tour.
This became and still and always will be my favorite STING song since the day this album was released. Oh. Sting did actually, tell a little more to the story behind this song than was told here. I don't want to spoil it for those listening to simply one of the most gorgeous LOVE/HATE songs ever written.
When I heard this arrangement, during this tour, I was in the Ford Amphitheater in Tampa, FL. I was a musician who had lost my love for sound. The sun was going down, and the wind blew fast through the seats of the theater; the clouds were pink and orange, and Sting and his orcheatra were silhouetted in the light behind the stage. When the vocal harmony of the chorus rose out over the crowd and the wind passed across my face, I remembered what inspiration was.
this is much more than pop music ... that's todays classical music ... simply amazing ... in 100 years or so it will be mentioned together with Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin & Co.
Mr. Gordon Sumners. You MUST add the Island of Souls/Soul Cages theme as the official live intro of this song, regardless of the version you're gonna play or concept of the tour you're gonna do.
Such a breezy, heavy sadness.

It's called an ACT which believe it or not means "Amplified Cardboard Tube" - if you Google that you'll get a fuller explanation.
