What's your favorite Sting song?

[tr|n|ty]

i absolutely adore Sting I have the police boxed sets and almost all his solo albums

with the police:
message in a bottle
king of pain
can't stand losing you
roxanne
every litthing she does is magic
don't stand so close to me
wrapped around your finger
invisible sun
every breath you take (like hello, who doesn't like this song, right?)

solo-
englishman in new york
fields of gold
shape of my heart
If You Love Somebody Set Them Free
The Dream Of The Blue Turtles
Moon Over Bourbon Street
Fortess Around Your Heart
Fragile
Be Still My Beating Heart

those are just on top of my head

[onehitboy]

sting's "desert rose" rocks.

what makes the song more appealing though is that the jaguar s-type uses it in its commercial.

Synchronicity, Wrapped Around Your Finger, Don't Stand So Close To Me, Every Breath You Take, Message In A Bottle, King Of Pain

Right on!!! STING rocks!!!

He's one of my biggest muscial influences. I have the complete Police sets. All his solo albums. I have a bootleg collection of most of his works with the Police and as a solo artist and I just must say that his live recordings and collaborations show what a great musician he is.

I guess since I started the forum I might as well put what my favorite sting songs are...

With the Police...

Can't Stand Losing You (1986 version)
Don't Stand So Close To Me
Every Breath You Take
Every Little Thing She DOes Is Magic
Invisible Sun
Message In a Bottle
Roxanne
So Lonely
Wrapped Around Your Finger (you have to hear the Tori
Amos cover of this! Galing!)

As a Solo Artist...

Englishman In New York
Why Should I Cry For You
Shape of MY Heart
Fragile
Fields of Gold
If I Ever Lose my FAith
Brand New Day
Seven Days
If You Love Somebody Set Them Free

His Covers...

Be Bop A Lula
Little Wing
Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da
I Want It That Way (with the Backstreet Boys...quite
simply coz it shows you a different side of Sting)

[badly_drawn_boy]

Oh yeah, how could I forget...

My favorite song has to be KING OF PAIN.

[culturedgold]

FIELDS OF GOLD AND
SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME!

[maxine]

as a solo artist i just absolutely love:

Why should i cry for you
Fragile
Straight to my heart
shape of my heart

[CrazyKid117]

It's Probably Me from the Lethal Weapon 3 OST

[ebe]

with the police, tea in the sahara...

as a solo artist, why should i cry for you... yun ba yun?

[badly_drawn_boy]

maxine: Straight to My Heart? I havn't heard that yet. Is it a cover? Or what album's it from?

ebe: Yup Why Should I Cry For You it is. Yun nga 'yon. They used it in Dawson's Creek two seasons ago. Sobrang cool love song.

[Eterna]

I enjoy listening to Sting. He's one artist who puts so much time and effort in the songs he compose.His songs are a picture of his depth of thinking and his intricate artistry.Likewise when he went on solo,who could ever forget his drummer Vinnie Colaiuta who could smoothly play so melodically in a drum set and at odd-meter at that. My personal favorties are:

w/ the Police: Tea in Sahara
Murder by Numbers
King of Pain
Synchronicity
Wrapped Around Your Finger
Every Breath You take

as a solo artist: Fields of Gold
Valparaiso
Seven Days
Fragile
Shape of My Heart
Hounds of Winter
Brand New Day
Englishman in New York
I Was Brought to My Senses

[violtra]

With the Police:
Message in The Bottle
King of Pain

Why Should I Cry For (Da Best!!!!)
Fields of Gold
If I Ever Lose My Faith In You

[badly_drawn_boy]

[moonberry]

[moonshyne5]

i'm not much of a sting fan, but i love "every breath you take"...it's one of those songs my mom and i agree to listen to in the car when stuck in a traffic jam

[novalee]

I'm a big STING fan too! For me, he's like a female Madonna bec. he constantly reinvents himself and his music

My all time favorite STING songs are:

Every breath you take
Every little thing she does is magic
Why should i cry for you
Desert Rose
Brand New Day

[cartman7110]

shape of my heart & fragile.

what sucks about sting was that he performed "every breath..." with puffy and the gang.

jennifer lopez's beau really made a mess of that song!
