I think that this song, "Thousand Years" and "Desert rose" could become a trilogy of stories about a man who is trying to escape from reality, dreaming of exotic countries and missing someone he has lost. A painful longing for love and beauty is combined with the image of the desert, reminiscent of a lonely human soul, ancient legends and ethnic motifs. I really adore this songs.
Sting always. Gentlemen who knows what is charming and intelligent poetry. His words are the life we are all living. Unforgettable lyrics, gentle but powerful music. Love them.
The Soul Cages is an amazing album, which kept me company in a very challenging period of my life. I was 17 when it was released, and very confused, and one of the (few) anchors of my life was music like this. Thank you
Me too i was almost 18, when this album came out. Always been a Sting fan. Listened all songs of "soul cages" so many times, but some songs are slow and boring, ie. island of souls, wild sea, angels fall. Jeremiah Blues kinda out of place here it sounds like it belongs to the Dream of the BT more than to this album
@@provatos yes, these 3 'slow' songs make the album a synthesis, after all Soul Cages is a concept album. But compared with the previous 2 solo albums of Sting, Soul Cages has 5 strong songs, and 4 weak songs (fillers). While 'Nothing Like the Sun' has all good and energic songs, 11 tracks (1 is a cover of Hendrix little wing)
A stone's throw from Jerusalem I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight And though a million stars were shining My heart was lost on a distant planet That whirls around the April moon Whirling in an arc of sadness I'm lost without you, I'm lost without you Though all my kingdoms turn to sand and fall into the sea I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you And from the dark secluded valleys I heard the ancient songs of sadness But every step I thought of you Every footstep only you Every star a grain of sand The leavings of a dried up ocean Tell me, how much longer, How much longer? They say a city in the desert lies The vanity of an ancient king But the city lies in broken pieces Where the wind howls and the vultures sing These are the works of man This is the sum of our ambition It would make a prison of my life If you became another's wife With every prison blown to dust My enemies walk free I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you And I have never in my life Felt more alone than I do now Although I claim dominions over all I see It means nothing to me There are no victories In all our histories Without love A stone's throw from Jerusalem I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight And though a million stars were shining My heart was lost on a distant planet That whirls around the April moon Whirling in an arc of sadness I'm lost without you, I'm lost without you And though you hold the keys to ruin of everything I see With every prison blown to dust my enemies walk free Though all my kingdoms turn to sand and fall into the sea I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you
Sting is the type of artist that once you hear his beautiful voice, you fall in love with it. The music and lyrics in all his songs are genius. Sting will forever stay in my heart.❤❤
Sting on “Mad About You”: It’s inspired by the story of King David and Bathsheba. These stories of murder and obsessive, jealous love appeal to me for some reason. Yes, those lines “There are no victories / In all our histories / Without love” have the quintessential Sting idea that romantic love outweighs global issues. I really believe that. Love is continuity of the species, it’s the most important thing. That’s why love songs are immortal. A political song will be dated within a year. It took me a long time to learn that." Glory to God.
The line is a bit too cliche and rosy to be poetry exactly, and it is simply incorrect and even naive. Perhaps Sting should read some actual history, for he'd find it to be rather more complex, and far less pretty at that. that being said however, I suppose the line works for the song. Which is indeed a pretty song.
England, Danmark, France and Germany where the highest poetic countys once. Where are alle the Philosophie and Poetry gone. Everybody wants a Yoga Diplom to know nothing from nothing. Yes i am another supertramp

@@nicoletrapelove9727this song is a masterpiece. Totally incredible and breath taking. I have never been such a big fan of desert rose. It is a good song but I am not so much into that kind of music. “Englishman in new york is my favourite” i also love all the songs of the police (especially every breath you take and so lonely and message in a bottle ) but god sting never wrote a single bad song. ( even tho as i said i didnt like desert rose that much or his album “sacred love” not because they would be bad but because i don’t like that sort of music) but the jazz and rock and raggae that he combines is so amazing. He is on of the gems of this world. 💜
@@nicoletrapelove9727 yes. He is amazing! What a pitty the great music became quite underrated now. The new generations including mine don’t appreciate the good old music. Maybe that’s also because the music released nowadays isn’t what it used to be. I hope one day, the 80’s music will revive.
@@twilightolga8958 I m 16 and I prefer this kind of music to any other 😄 But I know that most people from my generation don't appreciate its magic, which is sad.
❤❤❤❤❤Well Jodorowsky has a phrase that I love and that I apply on many occasions: "Madness is what heals." It is not about illness but rather there are people or situations that open up a new nature in us, something beautiful and vivid that breaks any possibility of limits. "Though all my kingdoms turn to sand And fall into the sea I'm mad about you I'm mad about you But every step I thought of you Every footstep only you And every star a grain of sand Although I claim dominions over all I see It means nothing to me And fall into the sea I'm mad about you.

This song staggers me...its almost like he is singing about the woman I loved. She was killed some yearsv ago. Her life had involved dangerous activities in an Arab country. She remains my incredible heroine. After her death I remain mad about her.

What a beautifully-arranged and haunting song about the magnificent pain of love. Sting at his best.
A stone's throw from Jerusalem
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
And though a million stars were shining
My heart was lost on a distant planet
That whirls around the April moon
Whirling in an arc of sadness
I'm lost without you, I'm lost without you
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand and fall into the sea
I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you
And from the dark secluded valleys
I heard the ancient songs of sadness
But every step I thought of you
Every footstep only you
Every star a grain of sand
The leavings of a dried up ocean
Tell me, how much longer,
How much longer?
They say a city in the desert lies
The vanity of an ancient king
But the city lies in broken pieces
Where the wind howls and the vultures sing
These are the works of man
This is the sum of our ambition
It would make a prison of my life
If you became another's wife
With every prison blown to dust
My enemies walk free
I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you
And I have never in my life
Felt more alone than I do now
Although I claim dominions over all I see
It means nothing to me
There are no victories
In all our histories
Without love
A stone's throw from Jerusalem
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
And though a million stars were shining
My heart was lost on a distant planet
That whirls around the April moon
Whirling in an arc of sadness
I'm lost without you, I'm lost without you
And though you hold the keys to ruin of everything I see
With every prison blown to dust my enemies walk free
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand and fall into the sea
I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you
Thank you 🎶🌻
