This song, with Toots Tielmanns on harmonica, was the final track of the movie " Léon " ( The french title) with Jean Reno, and the sooo amazing Nathalie Portman in her first role in movies. Goosebumps everywhere on my body.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
i really need to watch this movie again, just getting goosebumps thinking about the ending of the movie 😢
Titled "The professional" in English.🙂. Great movie!!!
Natalie Portman recently said she'd like to reprise the role as Mathilda: The Professional.
@@darthracer777 I think I read that somewhere as well. That would be quite the sequel 🙂
this was the ending song from the movie "Leon, The Professional" with Gary Oldman playing the villain and a very young Natalie Portman (forgot the French dude playing Leon) ... the song matched the ending scene quite well 🙂
Song co-written by guitarist Dominic Miller (guitar played by him) .
Excellent reaction and interesting song selection from you both, pleasantly surprised! Check out "Fields Of Gold" or "Fragile" from Sting, to continue down this journey.
💯
This is an absolute masterpiece. As many of Sting's songs...
One of my favorite Sting songs - so glad you liked it. I've always thought of Sting as being his own genre. What I've always liked about him is he always puts his artistic creativity first and never just released what was commercially acceptable at the time. Especially when he creates a magical song like Desert Rose: czcams.com/video/C3lWwBslWqg/video.html
I've always loved this song. Sting has a knack for creating great offbeat songs. o
This came out in 1993, so it is 30 years old. But still as fresh as ever. Sting is just such a great songwriter. And also the chord progressions, modulations, not the standard 1-5-6-4 stuff. Great musicianship!
I would definitely recommend you listen to and review 'An Englishman In New York' and 'Fields Of Gold' as someone else suggested which are also hit tracks by Sting too! Yes you are correct, the group were called, 'The Police'! He had previously worked as a teacher at a secondary school (teaching pupils between the ages of 11-18 years) before joining the group 'The Police'! I'm sure you will enjoy this track too. He is also married to the actress and film producer Trudy Styler since 1992, they have 4 children together!
Sting "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free" & "Love Is The Seventh Wave"
I saw Sting with The Police in concert on their last tour in 2008. I will see him in concert as a solo artist at the Hollywood Bowl in October. I can’t wait!!
Sting ( real name Gordon Sumner )....was in a band formed in 1977 called Police ..... tons of great hits.
Dominic Miller’s guitar in this song is beautiful
Everytime i hear this song it brings me back to "The Professional" me having a crush on Natalie Portman as a kid,Good Times!
Alway,s great vocals, and video love sting his story is one to tell ❤❤
Sting is a genius
Another amazing British singer also with the police. From Newcastle north east England. Aka a geordi. The video is shot at his estate in England
Absolutely correct about Nas The Message. One of my favorite Nas tracks
Thanks so much for this Sting review. This is my favourite song ever. It's SO beautiful. It is a love song and like, much of Sting's music, it has many layers. It's from one of my favourite albums, Ten Summoners Tales and was used in the movie Leon. The reggae influences you mentioned are prevalent in much of Sting's solo work, and also with The Police. Check out Every Little Thing She Does is Magic, Message in a Bottle, Roxanne (sampled by many rappers), and Sending Out an SOS by the Police. Sting's solo work is sublime though, and I prefer it to his work with the Police. The piano on Still Know Nothin' Bout Me from Ten Summoners Tales is fab, together with Seven Days and the wonderful Heavy Cloud, No Rain. When We Dance is also a fab Sting track. An English man in New York, Desert Rose (with Egyptian singer Cheb Mami) and La Belle Dans Sans Regret (a gorgeous Frencn track) are also sublime.
Great comment - I always struggle to comment on Sting's stuff to make recommendations because keeping the recommendations to a short list is so hard! He's got sooo many fantastic songs! 😅
One of my favorites. Sampled a lot. Definite listen to fragile. Music and poem is excellent. I also like it's probably me with eric clapton
I would recommend any song on this album. They are all superb.....
Achingly beautiful.....thanks, guys.
Desert rose official video Sting with Cheb Mami is one of best songs I have ever heard.
This tune was also the lead song in the movie The professional as well if you seen the movie with a very young Natilie Portman
Such a beautiful melody!!
It's one of my favourite Sting songs.
He has also supplied backing vocals for big hits for other bands, including 'Dire Staits - Money for Nothing'
This song has been sampled by a few artists, including a British R&B artist called Craig David. The song is called 'Rise & Fall' feat Sting.
You should check out Every Breath You Take by the Police. I’m 99 percent sure you will recognize it 😊
...and the original is Federic Chopin. But it is a practice routine. And it must be amazing to hear this for the first time.
Sting did the reggae feel wirh his former band The Police. Had an album titled Reggatta De Blanc. Check them out
Fragile (Sting) ith ❤❤❤ best!!!👍
Love Sting. He's so unique. I love his artistry.❤ Gordon Sumner.
“Transcendent feel”. Perfectly described. He’s amazing you should do more.
A beautiful song, the harmonica was played by Toots Thielman.
Beautiful and perfect end credits from "Leon: the Professional".
Sting has many great songs in his solo catalog. Here's a short list for your consideration.
IT'S PROBABLY ME from hus greatest hits record or Leathal Weapon 3, There are two versions of this song. The one you want has Etic Clapton and Michael Kamen.
IF YOU LOVE SOMEONE, SET THEM FREE.
AND WE DANCED,
and finally, DESERT ROSE. Enjoy
Did you feel that Phil & Sam? You just fell down the Sting (Gordon Sumner) solo & The Police rabbit hole 🕳 he's one of my favorite male singers since I was a kid. Throw a dart at his catalog & you hit a gem. I suggest "Desert Rose" featuring Algerian singer Cheb Mami next. Sting loves world music. Rob Squad said its one of their favorite they have reacted to. Saw the two perform it in concert - excellent!
Though The Police were only together around 9 years, their music is some of the most influential with one of the best drummers, Stewart Copeland, making his mark. Enjoy & you're going to need a ladder. 😊
Sting
Fields of Gold
Desert Rose
Englishmen In New York
Fragile
When We Dance
The Police
Every Breath You Take (#84 on the Rolling Stone list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and is included in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll) yes, it was sampled by P.Diddy 🙄😂
Roxanne
Message In A Bottle
Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic
Don't Stand So Close To Me
Wrapped Around Your Finger
Synchronicity II (their most complex song written IMO lyrics video is probably good)
Toots Thielemann's harmonica also was beautiful on this...
For some of the Police's reggae sound, try "So Lonely", "Walking on the moon", "Can't stand losing you", and "Roxanne", to name a few.
Just saw him at Malahide Castle in Ireland over the summer. He's in his 70's, but sounded great.
The other great sample of this song is his duet with Craig David's "Rise And Fall".
Sting was also a School Teacher , he is married to Trudy Styler
As i interpret this song, it is about sincerity vs cynicism. It is about faith vs rational.
It about people who like to distance themselves from life and seeing it as a study or a tool
"... He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He don't play for respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance"
or people using words and rationality as excuses for hat they see as the failures of their expectations of life.
"... But those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost"
And it is about the character in the song claiming that he doesn't like that.
"... If I told her that I loved you
You'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one"
It is just an interpretation among many others. Tomorrow one may have a totally different one.
The important part is always to like/feel/vibe the music and song.
As I was watching this I got to thinking that I've been a fan of Sting's music for around 45 years now, a big part of the music of my life. He's a great poet and musician. His music crosses genres often, one of the reasons I like it so much. If you are really unfamiliar with his work a most obvious recommendation is "Fields of Gold", "Englishman in New York" is also very well known, lesser known but one I really appreciate is "Ghost story"
Another juwel of Sting is Russians. From his 1st solo album The Dream of the Blue Turtles 1985. Great original video too.
This song used in leon Profesional
The Police were so good and they have one of the best drummers to do it, Stewart Copeland. Not Peart or Bonham level, but one of the next names on the list for sure.
You guys probably recognize the guitar intro from Juice World. He sampled it for his song Lucid Dreams
I got into the Police in highschool after Synchronicity had come out, but quickly bought the entire back catalog of 5 albums and have been following his solo career since. I have a giant poster of him that I got in Germany in the early 90s when I was in the army, its of him bowing with a violin and it says "Englishman on Tour". I really love his music and a lot of what he has done outside of it.... playing a role in the first Dune movie... he also played himself in the 2nd season of Only Murders in the Building. Oh and I have tickets to see him live later this month!!!
솔직히.. 스팅이나 이 음악 세대가 아니더라도
딱 듣자마자 이거 찐이다 명곡이다 감 오지 않음?
Most famous Police song is (the „stalker‘s hymn“) „Every breath you take“. Most famous solo songs: „Fields of Gold“ (same album as Shape of my heart), „Fragile“, „Englishman in New York“ and „Desert Rose“!
this song is so good... 👍👏
I've always been amazed that hip hop artists got away with sampling ( read stealing) on a musical integrity level
Of course it was usually the only real music on the tracks, so maybe not such a bad thing.
The chorus is in the first person and the verses are third person, so the narrator is comparing himself to someone else.
The card player is a compulsive womaniser but the narrator is sincere and sensitive.
There are so many songs from Sting which are not in the radar but which you should definitely check out... My pick: "Children's Crusade".
It is unfortunately not very well known but, to my ears, it is one of the best songs he has ever written. Not only that, but he also let his band members loose on this one: the bridge (with Branford Marsalis, Omar Hakim and Kenny Kirkland respectively playing alto sax, drums and keyboards) is fantastic. Formidable, even; in the true sense of the term.
Have to hear , king of pain, wrapped around your finger, message in a bottle, and many, many more. His lyrics are absolutely amazing. He's one of my favorites just for his lyrics alone . King Of Pain will blow you away
What i gather is be sincere in you're endeavor because if you're not honest the Bread you earned don't taste as good as the one you made bless you and yours keep on keeping on RESPECT 🙏💯🌟💝 THANKS FOR POSTING BETTER 2024 POLITICS ASIDE 😘
This sound was also used to great effect in the film Leon.
All those awards are kind of overshadowed by the monster success of Every Breath You Take which remains ‘the’ most played song in the history of radio surpassing all other artists including the Beatles, the Stones, Elton John, P Diddy, Rihanna, Jay-Z, Taylor Swift and every other artist besides.
"Fragile" is a beautiful song worth checking out. But it's hard to choose a bad Sting track, he's brilliant. "The Pirate's Bride" from his Symphonicities album is another fantastic one, the whole album is with an orchestra.
You guys really need to take a deep dive into Stings songwriting - he's such a great poet and there's ALWAYS a story to his lyrics ;-)
This has always been a personal favorite. Great reaction. You should check out the 2Cellos cover as well sometime.
Thanks 👍🙏💝🌟💯 RESPECT
There is definitely a double entendre here - it's not just about gambling - the suits of the card deck are a metaphor - you would probably call Sting, for the most part, soft rock
Love your videos guys
🇨🇦 So after this one, you should really checkout a collaboration by Sting, Rod Stewart and Bryan Adams called "All for Love" !
You should listen to Sting "Fields of Gold" and then listen to Eva Cassidy singing it. Sting himself said Eva did it better.
Eva Cassidy sadly passed away in her early 30s, voice of an Angel. ❤
If you love beautiful music please have a look at Eivør - Falling Free (Live at the Old Theater in Torshavn) This lady is full of talent. Thank you both and all the best from England.
You probably heard it from “Lucid Dreams” Juice Wrld
Desert Rose is the sexiest video ever put on CZcams even better than George Michael's Freedom video
Sampled by Craig David too
Stunning!!! Was that was a soprano saxophone in the background or a harmonica?
Nas sampled it, but Carl Thomas sampled it for Emotional as well as Juice WRLD for Lucid Dreams.
Desert Rose will be Samantha's favorite by Sting. That's my prediction. The Police have a shit ton of hits. Sting, too. Sam needs to talk to US more. Looking right all the time is a bit unfriendly. So, DESERT ROSE should be your next Sting song. You're Welcome.
Try Desert Rose brilliant song .
Beautiful song🎶
I’ve always thought this song was about a guy suffering from existential depression, trying to find meaning in life through gambling. Frantically seeking a pattern in all the random chance.
But it’s a fool’s errand.
Please please do Desert Rose…it’s very different 🇨🇦🖖🏻
👏Saw Sting & Cheb perform it live - excellent
Sometimes i wonder how do you live your entire life without hearing this song or other popular ones that are reacted to, it feels impossible considering all the airplay they get and all the movies and other media theyre on
You should react to the version with rufus
bien
PLEASE REACT..carlos santana feat. the product g&b - maria maria👍👍👍👍👍
Please, react to Sting & Stevie Wonder - Fragile.
Fields of Gold is on another level compared to this great song, enjoyed the reaction B&B😊
Leon
You should never have started with Sting, you need to do Police. Roxanne
Agreed, this was too mellow a song to get a new listener interested in an artist. A more upbeat song or one that shows the artists full vocal range is better to start off with.
This is deeper you shallow soul
Never been to Hollywood BLVD?? Lucky you. Ten Summoner’s Tales.
Please react to tiara andini's new song from Indonesia FLIP IT UP thank you😊🙏
He has more good songs than I can even remember. If you're looking for one a little more upbeat, check out Fortress Around Your Heart. I just subscribed, love your channel. Especially Bill Burr. Speaking of the best stand up comedians ever, have you two checked out any Norm MacDonald.
So sad 😢
Do you even lift bro?
What a shame it was sampled. No one can listen to the song after that as they're too busy talking about the guy who's sampled it.
Let's be honest here. Black guys sampling amazing white artists is stealing music to an extent. They sample the main hook and chorus of every song and get away with it. If it was the other way round there would be utter outrage
A lot of music younger generations hear is sampled from another artist, music made decades ago. I guess they are to lazy to make their own music
Sting great
