I really don't remember the artist Sting. But I do remember his music. Especially three tracks from the CD Fields Of Gold: The Best Of Sting 1984 - 1994.
Fields of Gold, Russians, and Be Still My Beating Heart hold a special place in my memory, even though I never associated them with Sting. I just happen to like the beats and lyrics. I can just see Jim rolling his eyes and telling me for the umpteenth and just-as-futile time the songs were by Sting. Got it now Jim, but I can't promise I will remember the next time I hear the songs.
The soft rock composite of Sting songs was released in 1994 by A&M Records. Besides the three songs mentioned, it includes the following tracks:
- When We Dance
- If You Love Somebody Set Them Free
- All This Time
- Fortress Around Your Heart
- They Dance Alone
- If I Ever Lose My Faith In You
- Fragile
- Why Should I Cry For You?
- Englishman In New York
- We'll Be Together
- This Cowboy Song
And Sting, it seems, is still quite the prolific artist, rocking his 57th and 9th Tour across the globe in 2017.
