The thing about Sting is, despite his talent, he struggles to create songs as a solo artist that are as interesting as what he created in the Police. I think he needs to have the full contributions of other band members, not just studio musicians hired to do what they're told. The result is better when it's a product of collaboration. It's the same case with David Hinds and Steel Pulse.
When you reach maturity and really appreciate the artistry, lyrics, etc. you become a Sting a fan. He has always been great, but I really appreciate him now. Proficient on several instruments, lyrics are poetry, speaks and sings in several languages. He is incredible!
Are you purposely feeding Sting’s ego? I mean, the song is beautiful, but don’t tell him that, silly!! He is so amazed by himself already, just his essence, his very existence; I just don’t think he needs your help. He wouldn’t even notice you kissing his ass, he would just expect it.
I sat across from Sting and his family in a Soho restaurant in the mid-1980s - I felt overwhelmed...didn't want to disturb their private time...so I just sat and tried not to gawk...and I didn't.... what a talented artist - bassist, vocalist, guitarist! Thank you Sting!
Hello I’m sorry for infringe on your profile you are wonderful and I would definitely love to be friends with and know about you here’s my email address markwilliam8gmail.com we can talk on hangouts I will be glad to hear from you.
Sting wrote songs when he was young that were only gonna sound even better the more his voice aged because they are all stories and poetry. Stay safe Sting, this world needs you to keep kicking with everyone else 🤝
Sting, you are one of the best looking aging star I have seen in a long time. I tell the kids over here in America, "don't get sick"! It is the best advice in these days,
@@Norannmcguire oh I know they're not but he just sounds so damn good at the age he is now that's what surprised me. He's playing message in a bottle,better now than it sounded back in the day
Sting, a man who has managed to remain popular, relevant and use his talent to evolve further and not let time overtake him! Thank you Mr Sumner for all good moments :)
I'd greatly appreciate it if some Sting fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK and WHY SHOULD I CRY FOR YOU on my YT channel in tribute to one of the all-time masters of lyricism and composition. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace and stay safe.
So, what is it with some people and these types of perspective/comments? They tend to show up pretty much everywhere, so it's not the actual art, but the 'beholder' at question. What is this weird cultural shit? lol an offshoot of 'cancel culture'?
He was good but it depends on what other artists you're comparing him to..there are a few legends out there and class acts and sorry to say as much as I liked the police and sting hes not the best.
Thanks Sting...….these songs were so relevant to what we are going through right now. For a few minutes, I felt like we were all one and I was not as alone...….
I'm enjoying all the performances from many artists that they do from home. At my age I'm over the crowds and chatter. These types of intimate performances show the quality of their work. And that they care.
I was an 18 years old University student when The Police rose to fame in 1979/80 during the Punk and then New Wave era. Sting sings as good now as he did 40+ years ago. Brings back some awesome memories of Manchester, UK in the early 80's. Happy days.....
This is a great performance, but let's be honest now, his voice has deteriorated substantially since his peak. It's not a criticism, it's called ageing.
Sting is awesome. Been following his music since the POLICE got big in 1980 ! Miami Concert 1983 o present, seen him on stage over a dozen times. One of the greats ! Thank you sir. Cheers from USA.
Dear Sting: yep, I got it. I got your message in a bottle. But...it's funny. I'm 37 years old: I grew up hearing this song on the radio countless times - have been hearing your "message" for as long as I can remember. Yet I've always taken it for granted, like rising and setting of the sun. It's just always been there. But today - to hear you sing it in May 2020, in lockdown, just you in your studio - the content of your "message" is different than all the other times. It hit me fresh and new. Marvelous composition. By the way I'm a music teacher (choir director, music theory) on Long Island, New York. Thank you for thinking of us New Yorkers, Sting. 🙏
Love Sting sooo much. He looks genuinely humble here and he's such a fantastic songwriter and singer. His music has enriched my life for some 42 years now. First saw The Police in '83 and have seen him on many solo tours. He still has it - so gifted.
Marc Lawrence total missing the humility. He told us what we should do about Covid. Like we don’t already know or something. Like we don’t eat, sleep and breath the stupid “alone together” slogan.
COVID-19 has had at least one good effect: the world is still, and we are seeing all these incredible artistic performances. All performed directly for us fans too. I love that. Stay safe all.
Agree - so many stripped down acoustic performances. No heavy production. Man, you get to see how good they are without all the other stuff. Intimate performances where they've kind of invited us into their homes. This has been a benefit.
Gabriel 22 his musicianship is quite remarkable as is his work with the Police, and that first solo album. I can do without the cheesy Vegas vocal performances, however. His hands seem oblivious to his mouth.
Sting forever! I love both his solo songs and the songs of The Police! I live in Saint-Petersburg, and when I went to Moscow I feels like I'm an Englishman in New York. ;))))) Greetings from Russia!
I'm Australian, been to NYC a few times, I love it also, it's just magic, and the people were so funny and full of life. I took my son and wife last time. One of my favourite places, so many great memories. Hope u guys return soon. An illegal alien, an Australian in NY.. go Sting.. Peace and love from down under!
Since I heard Message in a Bottle for the 1st time in Guitar Hero, Sir, you and your Band (The Police) made me a believer. You guys introduced me to the 70's & 80's amazing music era. I have all of your collections and discographies. God bless you and please, me a another "The Police" world tour.
I'd be honored if some Sting fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK and WHY SHOULD I CRY FOR YOU on my YT channel in tribute to the master of lyricism and composition. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace and stay safe.

Troy Boyle this man. Wtf? It’s Sting. Just Sting. Dopey little Sting. He writes beautiful music. He is an excellent musician. And FULLY AWARE OF EVERY LAST ONE OF HIS PRECIOUS LITTLE GIFTS and more than happy to toot his own horn...no need to pile it on.
Nerd4Life power? Huh? His voice was unique and distinctive for this reason. But it wasn’t strong. This man does not have a powerful voice. He is an amazing musician and writer. But the voice - no power at all.
My eyes were tearing as I was listening to these songs sung during the confinement...We were supposed to go to the concert in Nimes but unfortunately it got cancelled. Bravo Sting, still one of my favorite musicians in the world.
I love sting since i was 15. Is my water that i need everyday I never get born to listen every day and every night. Every step every move you make i will you watching you.Thanks sting because you have been in my soul during all my entere life.From Chile to you.God bless you!!!!
Yeah, Sting still has it. When this virus is behind us, I'd love to see the Police do a tour. They've all done well as solo artists but they had a great chemistry together. Hey, just a suggestion from a fan...
Amazing musical chemistry (fav band back in my high school days in the 80s) ...but pretty much despised each other...watch the Elvis Costello interview with them...it’s still very uncomfortable to see them sit together. 🤣
Sting's ability to pull a song out like Message perform it during these unparalleled times and have it be relevant is a measure of the man's songwriting. It's enduring and everlasting.
Brilliant Sting and Thank You for a Message to Us All to Stay Strong, Stay Safe and Love Each Other, in These Extraordinary Times All Over the World and Thanks to Our Health Care Workers, God Bless You XXXX
There are TONS of amazing artists out there crating new stuff worth listening to. Spend a night going down the rabbit hole online and you can find crazy talent. (Anderson Paak, Useful Jenkins, Amos Lee, its early, my music brain is not on, and my genres are vast....but Music has not died with the internet)
Hi Sting, my daughter Hannah was performing in 'The Last Ship' with you in the US before they shut down. Hope you're well and the show will go on. God bless
Sting is one of the few real rock poets of our times. Spirited, rebel and peaceful. He and his music, texts, playing and singing are so beautiful at every age. Such authenticity is rare and precious. Thank you so much Sting for your energy :-) I love how he says Nooo York in the song ahah :-)
Sounds incredible, I have never seen Message in a Bottle played the way that Sting is playing it in the video with these chord changes. I always played it the way Andy did on guitar, but I like this version more.
Yannis Fyssas that’s my guess. I’m not musically trained but I’ve seen sting play some of his songs that have add9 chords so differently from how I learned them via tab
He's in standard tuning but playing a whole tone below the original key of C#m. The chord shapes he's using in the verse are: x24x2x 3x02xx x024xx 024xxx
Yes this is definitely a Hudson They were hand made in Wales and it is possible that Sting had one customised for himself I recently managed or get a new end of stock parlour guitar The ensignia at the top is unmistakable
I lost everything I had in life when this beautiful song came out by Gordon , this songs got me through a lot.... Fragile. this C-19 like his song... I am a welshman not an Englishman in lockdown 😉👍🏻🏴
Damn, a true legend. I chuckle to myself, he can sing, play the bass, the guitar. If he played the drums he could be dave groll. Lol. Super stoked I was able to see the police live in Seattle. Incredible. I feel happy and fortunate.
I love du Sting!! I'm Paula s from New Yorkers? You, togeather with Michael Jackson, are one of the greatest Activist in the World and the Music World. These days this great big city laughs but, today ....it cries!! Thanx for letting us Sing while We cry and hope ....it will recover..
probably Sting never going to see this comment, but message in a bottle, synchronicity 2 and king of pain are really important songs in my life, thanks for that message master
@@CraigMansfield i never see it mentioned but it's easily my favourite song by the police it has no relevance to my life and i can't relate to it one bit but it still strikes an amazing chord with me
@@shmiqqy It's great energy. "Every meeting with his so-called superior, is a humiliating kick in the crotch". I can well relate. But it's the energy in the song me. Love it :) 👍 you've got good taste
Listening to this reminds me of his "...all this time" concert DVD at his home in Italy right as 9/11 happened. Thank you for Rolling Stones and Sting.
YES!!! And he played with Christian McBride who was on upright Bass and who I went to HS with (including the Roots and Boys to Men....it was amazing!) That concert in Italy is fantastic!
'Don't Stand So Close To Me' would be more fitting considering our circumstances
TXFRecords possibly his best song other than fields of gold even though that was a cover
LMAO!
The thing about Sting is, despite his talent, he struggles to create songs as a solo artist that are as interesting as what he created in the Police. I think he needs to have the full contributions of other band members, not just studio musicians hired to do what they're told. The result is better when it's a product of collaboration.

68 years old, still plays & sings fantastic, and looks like he could score 5 on you on the pitch. Rock on Sting!
Calm yourselves and focus on the Source our Father Unconditional Love and Shine our Light. brightly into the shadows it's time!!!😃😀😊😍😘
He's a bit off-key though, but hey, he's old now. He' easily excused...
When you reach maturity and really appreciate the artistry, lyrics, etc. you become a Sting a fan. He has always been great, but I really appreciate him now. Proficient on several instruments, lyrics are poetry, speaks and sings in several languages. He is incredible!
His musicianship and poetry stand the test of time and to see this now is such a gift
hehe "poetry" .......can you actually read?
Fragile - some of the finest poetry ever written
Can't but agree with that. This should be taught in school.
Lazarus Heart takes some beating.
I agree it is the most underrated song ever such tenderness is hard to find......sandly....
Yes, one of my favorite songs.
Are you purposely feeding Sting’s ego? I mean, the song is beautiful, but don’t tell him that, silly!! He is so amazed by himself already, just his essence, his very existence; I just don’t think he needs your help. He wouldn’t even notice you kissing his ass, he would just expect it.
I sat across from Sting and his family in a Soho restaurant in the mid-1980s - I felt overwhelmed...didn't want to disturb their private time...so I just sat and tried not to gawk...and I didn't.... what a talented artist - bassist, vocalist, guitarist! Thank you Sting!
you forgot the most important aspect- songwriter!
Sting is an incredible artist, generous and altruistic talent. So much love he gives to us with his songs. ❤❤
MagALI 32 but his singing is reminiscent of a crap lounge act. Live, anyway.

Sting is an absolute beast. He is such an honorable man and it’s an absolute honor to have him.
The Police is the reason why I wanted to be a musician since I was a kid
Alex Blanco well I never heard of you. Great job...
He was not the reason for me but he sure did move it along for sure.
The police is the reason me locked up
do you have any regretta de Blanco?
Alex Blanco Good choice!
He displayed more talent in just 10mn and 36 seconds than other artists during their entire life.
I totally agree!

Damn, a true legend. I chuckle to myself, he can sing, play the bass, the guitar. If he played the drums he could be dave groll. Lol. Super stoked I was able to see the police live in Seattle. Incredible. I feel happy and fortunate.
I love du Sting!! I'm Paula s from New Yorkers? You, togeather with Michael Jackson, are one of the greatest Activist in the World and the Music World. These days this great big city laughs but, today ....it cries!! Thanx for letting us Sing while We cry and hope ....it will recover..
thanks Sting. Saw you guys in Tampa awhile back. Thank you for still being there for us.
Class act. I’m not alone at being alone.
probably Sting never going to see this comment, but message in a bottle, synchronicity 2 and king of pain are really important songs in my life, thanks for that message master
I love Synchronicity 2.
Hell of a piece of music.
@@CraigMansfield i never see it mentioned but it's easily my favourite song by the police
it has no relevance to my life and i can't relate to it one bit but it still strikes an amazing chord with me
@@shmiqqy It's great energy. "Every meeting with his so-called superior, is a humiliating kick in the crotch". I can well relate.
But it's the energy in the song me. Love it :) 👍 you've got good taste
Thanks dear Sting. All the best from Chile!
Wow that voice just takes you back to that place.
“Suffer ignorance and smile”, and that eye roll. We get it!
Fake CORINA Clovid19 hoax misrepresentation false premise
@@grantbennett333 What a totally idiotic comment! You should be deeply ashamed of yourself.
Wonderful. Have loved The Police and Sting since Roxanne 💗
Thank you Sting🙏🎶🌍🎶☯️🎶today you sings three of your songs that has been very important to me, in different periods in my life💖🙏🎶🙏💖
This is a happy song it makes me smile when i'm driving in my car. You really have a marvelous gift in making peoplethank you so much
Gotta hand it to him, despite his occasional leaps of pretension, he is musically entitled to feel smug. Great performance.
Pretence? This is a very humble man that was a teacher before he joined the Police.
Listening to this reminds me of his "...all this time" concert DVD at his home in Italy right as 9/11 happened.
Thank you for Rolling Stones and Sting.
YES!!! And he played with Christian McBride who was on upright Bass and who I went to HS with (including the Roots and Boys to Men....it was amazing!) That concert in Italy is fantastic!
For me, He is the best singer in the whole world 💖
Keep Healthy Mr. Sting, my favorite musician all the time
i can't ask more, his heavy voice at his current age make my mood up
A man with his feet firmly on the ground, its the impression that I make of him.
I think he is an extremely strong person. Read his autobiography, "Broken Music".
Excellent in all the aspects of his genius……this is his message in a bottle….👏🎼👍…
Thank you for this Sting?‼️ We ❤️NY2
