Wilt Thou Unkindness Reave Me
Composed by John Dowland
Performed by Sting
Wilt Thou Unkind Thus Reave Me
Wilt thou unkind thus reave me
Of my heart, of my heart,
And so leave me, and so leave me?
Wilt thou unkind thus reave me
Of my heart, of my heart,
And so leave me, and so leave me?
Farewell! Farewell!
But yet or e'er I part, O cruel,
Kiss me, sweet, kiss me,
Sweet, sweet my jewel.
Hope by disdain grows cheerless,
Fear doth love, love doth fear
Beauty peerless, beauty peerless.
Farewell! Farewell!
But yet or e'er I part, O cruel,
Kiss me, sweet, kiss me,
Sweet, sweet my jewel.
If no delayes can move thee,
Life shall die, death shall live
Still to love thee, still to love thee?
Farewell! Farewell!
But yet or e'er I part, O cruel,
Kiss me, sweet, kiss me,
Sweet, sweet my jewel.
Yet be thou mindfull ever,
Heat from fire, fire from heat
None can see sever, none can sever
Farewell! Farewell!
But yet or e'er I part, O cruel,
Kiss me, sweet, kiss me,
Sweet, sweet my jewel.
True love cannot be changed
Though delight from desert
Be estranged, be estranged.
Farewell! Farewell!
But yet or e'er I part, O cruel,
Kiss me, sweet, kiss me,
Sweet, sweet my jewel.

why don't like this ? O.o

@JoelvanLennep I don't agree with you about the quality of this recording, as I enjoy it, but that comment was so witty it deserved a like. :-)
-
@cooperdogable I agree SO much with you. Sting brings such a unique and incredibly musical interpretation to this. He could use a bit more knowledge on the Baroque style, but his musical instincts (untrained) are very strong.
-
what's amazing about this is the beauty of the accompaniment. With the lute you've got to get the acoustics exactly right and this is acoustically perfect - magic! A marvellous combination. I have to say that Sting is lucky to have this guy working with him.

such a beautiful ballad.

Oh, Sting, where is thy death?

I can imagine Sting captivating the heart of Elizabeth as the court favorite singing Dowland. His voice transcends time. For those who complain that Sting is not classically trained, it is important to realize that in the late 1600s there was no "classical" training. Therfore Stings singing of this great music may be closer to how someone might have sounded then.
Fortunately we live in an age where Emma Kirkby, whom I also love, and Sting can cover the same music beautifully and uniquely.
