Sting is one of those guys (like Bruce Dickinson) who is the exception to the rule about one-dimensional brainless rockers. I've enjoyed his post-Police career as much as his time with them. Another great song from him -- I've been sailing before and appreciate the "feeling" of the wind and water through the tempo and tone of the music. Absolutely great song.

Just so you know, the album is called "If On a Winter's Night"

@cub68134 The lyrics are from the poem 'Christmas at Sea' by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, same chap who wrote Treasure Island. Although this version isn't bad, I have to say I prefer hearing it as a poetry recital. Alan Doyle of Canadian band 'Great Big Sea' does a very good recital, if you can find it on tube.

@ewock74 thanks back, you're welcome, from another Leigh on Sea girl in exile. Well, about 5 miles north. But given half the chance. And a huge lotto win.

Thank you, both jusenik and katq4444.
I've forced myself to move away from some Hedningarna this morning! Very earthy, grounded music. Another set of favourites; they are really very good!

Does anyone know, did he work with Hedningarna on this song? I think I recognize the vocals.

I vaguely recall the female is Mary MacMaster (Scot, harp and vocals), singing a Gaelic song 'Thograinn' in oppositio n(for want of a better word) to Robert Louis Stevenson's poem Christmas at Sea. Melodious blend.
