Os dois são simplesmente fenomenais.


"Prelúdio" de "Concerto para Violoncelo No.1 em Sol maior" (de Johann Sebastian Bach) - Sting ft. Alessandra Ferri

Este tipo é um génio.

Shape of my heart - Sting

He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He doesn'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

I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart

He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades

I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart

And if I told you 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
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

I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart

Um senhor da música...

Englishman in New York - Sting

I don't drink coffee I'll take tea my dear
I like my toast done on one side
As you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an Englishman in New York

See me walking down Fifth Avenue
A walking cane here at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I'm an Englishman in New York

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

If "manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
You could end up as the only one
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
At night a candle's brighter than the sun

Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run

If "manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

Gosto mais da versão da Alanis, mas o original é o original...

King of Pain - Sting

Theres a little black spot on the sun today
Its the same old thing as yesterday
Theres a black hat caught in a high tree top
Theres a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

Theres a little black spot on the sun today
That's my soul up there
It's the same old thing as yesterday
Thats my soul up there
Theres a black hat caught in a high tree top
Thats my soul up there
Theres a flag pole rag and the wind wont stop
Thats my soul up there

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running round my brain
I guess Im always hoping that youll end this reign
But its my destiny to be the king of pain

Theres a fossil thats trapped in a high cliff wall
Thats my soul up there
Theres a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
Thats my soul up there
Theres a blue whale beached by a springtides ebb
Thats my soul up there
Theres a butterfly trapped in a spiders web
Thats my soul up there

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running round my brain
I guess Im always hoping that youll end this reign
But its my destiny to be the king of pain

Theres a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
Theres a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
Thers a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
Theres a skeleton choking on a crust of bread

King of pain

Theres a red fox thorn by a huntsmans pack
Thats my soul up there
Theres a black winged gull with a broken back
Thats my soul up there
Theres a little black spot on the sun today
Its the same old thing as yesterday

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running round my brain
I guess Im always hoping that youll end this reign
But its my destiny to be the king of pain

King of pain
King of pain
King of pain
Ill always be king of pain
Ill always be king of pain
Ill always be king of pain...

Qualquer música com o Sting não pode ser pequena...

Rise & Fall - Craig David ft. Sting

Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over
And it seems as though the writing’s on the wall
Superstar you’ve finally made it
But once your picture becomes tainted
It’s what they call the rise & fall

I always said that I was gonna make it
Now it’s plain for everyone to see
But this game I’m in don’t take no prisoners
Just casualties
I know that everything is gonna change
Even the friends I knew before may go
But this dream is the life I’ve been searching for
Started believing that I was the greatest
My life was never gonna be the same
‘cos with the money came a different status
That’s when things changed
Now I’m too concerned with all the things I own
Blinded by all the pretty girls I see
I’m beginning to loose my integrity

Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over
And it seems as though the writing’s on the wall
Superstar you’ve finally made it
But once your picture becomes tainted
It’s what they call the rise & fall

I never used to be a troublemaker
Now I don’t even wanna please the fans
No autographs, no interviews, no pictures
Endless demands
Gave in to vices that were clearly wrong
The types that seemed to make me feel so right
But some things you may find can take over your life
Burnt all my bridges now I’ve run out of places
And there’s nowhere left for me to turn
Been caught in compromising situations
I should have learned
From all those times I didn’t walk away
When I knew that it was best to go
Is it too late to show you the shape of my heart?

Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over
And it seems as though the writing’s on the wall
Superstar you’ve finally made it
But once your picture becomes tainted
It’s what they call the rise & fall

Now I know I’ve made mistakes
You think I don’t care
But you don’t realize what this means to me
So let me have just one more chance
I’m not the man I used to be
Used to be

Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over
And it seems as though the writing’s on the wall
Superstar you’ve finally made it
But once your picture becomes tainted
It’s what they call the rise & fall...
