Sting why should i cry for you

The most fertile songwriting ground in this little sub-category of rock seems to be the father-son dynamic, which has inspired many a memorable tune. You could make an entire playlist out of just such material and come away with an imposing group of songs. Writing in a collection of his annotated lyrics, Sting elaborated upon how the death of his father first crippled his songwriting but eventually inspired The Soul Cages. I felt emotionally and creatively paralysed, isolated, and unable to mourn.

I just felt numb and empty, as if the joy had been leached out of my life. Eventually, I talked myself into going back to work, and this sombre collection of songs was the result. I became obsessed with my hometown and its history, images of boats and the sea, and my childhood in the shadow of the shipyards. Things stop making sense which is a lot of what someone feels when they lose someone whether it's a loss in death or a loss of a love.

What i find very interesting, and this may be delving too deep, is that The Dog Star has a companion star, they perpetually revolve around eachother General Comment Why should I cry for you when I'm the one who has to keep on living this tortured life? The dead should be crying for us. Dark angels follow me Over a godless sea Mountains of endless falling, For all my days remaining, denverized on February 03, Link.

Memory I love this song though I haven't listened it for a while, like several years. Just right after the death of love of my life a month ago, I heard it again through radio. I never said I love him though I fell in love with him 20 years ago. And I knew I'd never say it to him or to anyone. But I also knew that I love him until I die. Only imagined was that when I die, I die with this love in my heart.

I never had this concrete feeling over anything in my life. Now I'm lost and drift towards unknown, rest of my life.

No matter what Sting meant, this song is completely my feelings towards him now and ever. I was touched enough by your comment that I was compelled to create an account just to respond-- but now I don't know what to say. It is surprising how satisfying it was to recognize that someone enjoyed a song and felt an emotion in almost the same way that I did.

I feel less lonely tonight. General Comment "Would north be true? Anyone that has had to rely on a compass for navigation has had this question cross their mind at some point. You follow the compass and you have to trust it, which is sometimes hard to do. You think magnetic north is holding true, but is it really???

Maybe the compass became unleveled, maybe the needle got stuck, maybe there's magnetic interference, you just don't know. All you can do is stick to your bearings and hope you are heading in the right direction, not drifing farther away. And this question keeps popping up in your mind.

A metaphor, I think, for being lost, not really knowing where to go but hanging on to that glimmer of light that leads the way in hope it will deliver us home. And you hold on to that shimmering light because that's all you have got.

General Comment Not my favorite, musically, but the song and music are still touching. I wonder what it means? My first thought is that it's about a man who's sort of "exiled" himself to work on a fishing boat in the North Atlantic.

Or maybe about the Flying Dutchman. Or maybe about Truth. It seems that he's left some loved one behind. Bodester on October 29, Link. General Comment I dont really think that this song is about a lover dying because of the references. Why shoud I cry for you, and especially when he says loved you in my fashion. To me that means he was rejected. General Comment i seem to recall that this song was written by sting sometime shortly after his father passed away about their relationship.

Artists - S. The video for this was here at one time. It was beautiful. The song is still beautiful, but the video added something. That's too bad. I remember seeing the Video Then you are in for a genuine treat when you see him play as I did in The most electrifying performance you will ever see in your life, if you live to be a million.

Buy the Berlin live DVD. That was the concert I saw in Melbourne. And I saw dream of the blue turtles in Trust me on this. You will never forget it. You do know you can buy it from Amazon. I have it. I also saw the live show.

He's talking about the fact that YT removed the live video. It used to be here more than a year ago. Under the dog star sail Over the reefs of moonshine Under the skies of fall North, north west, the Stones of Faroe. Judith Vizgarra. Lions Redemption. Rosa Diletta. Zore Ivo.
