ugh....why does Sting have to turn everything into some kind of jazz crap now? He ruins his own songs! Compare this to the video of the live version in 1983.
I guess it comes down to personal taste...but I really hate the way he did the song here. Especially at about 2:17. He sings it like it's some kind of jazz song at a nightclub! Compare this to the original and it's completely different. He ruined the whole mood of the song. The original had a much more primordial, naturalistic sound to it.
yeah, it really depends on the person's taste... but i like how sting is able to re-arrange his songs and turn them into something different every time he does them again... do you know the version of roxanne he does only with jason rebello? i totally love his new timings and the new mood of this approach
