Dear Sher M, I guess I would have loved your mother, too. This song reminds me of a very special moment, when I was on vacation in Umbria, Italy at the age of seventeen in 1987, listening this song on a walkman, sitting there between olive trees on a warm and sunny afternoon, just a stonethrow from Assisi. There I realised, that Creation is God, that Love must be Truth and that there's a reason for everything and a place for everyone of us, even after death and not only in our hearts. Believe, someday we all will meet again, and we will laugh in a joy and dance on their graves... Hope you meet your mother then there too!

Aw, bless you Sher. Music is so powerful. It is one of the few ways I connect to my departed father. Time, place, and feelings that are unique and without description. So sorry for your loss. I am so glad you have that music to link you, so glad she played it around the house. I keep trying with my daughter, but she has her earphones in and wonders why. Because I know that it is these little things that one day will hopefully remind her of me. Of a time together. And Sting, well, he is sublime. Take care. Ps. Heed what Sven says, he is a wise one....

I did the calculation…this song is 35 years old. It moved me in my teens, my 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, I’m 51 and in love with it as much as the first time I heard it. It’s eternally a part of my heart.

His mother had just died. He was so full of deep emotion and pain, you could actually feel it. I later learned that he was dealing with her death per an interview, and I always suspected there was something so much deeper in the lyrics when I first heard it. His pain is immense and so apparent. The Police have followed every stage of my life, the good, the bad, the sad, and they are always there to pull me through,,,always.

The other 2 are Madonna and Bono.

This is my favourite song by Sting and one of the best he has ever written. To me 'Turtles', Nothing Like The Sun" are the two best solo albums for mood and great songs. I'm not saying "Ten Sommoner's Tales" is not great, it's a masterpiece, but in a different way. If there is one song that sticks in my mind for nearly all of the 26 years since I first heard it, it's this one. An out and out classic!

Yes, that is a great track. The Soul Cages disappointed me back in 1991 but in recent years I learned to appreciate it. It is in fact a good album. It's Sting moving into storytelling rather than the usual 'this is what's happening in the world' and socio-politics of his earlier works. Island of Souls is fantastic, along with Mad About You. Side two of the LP was a quieter affair but the maturity is there with some strong lyrics and subtle melodies. I really like 'Straight To My Heart' from 'Nothing Like The Sun'. It's a superb song. Sting is a great musician and songwriter no doubt. 'Ten Summoner's Tales is a masterpiece but 'Mercury Falling' is pretty poor and this is one I don't like now. The casual soul driven songs don't work for Sting on this one and it portrays a man with very little to say in 1996. Then again I love 'I was Brought To My Senses' I guess!

I listened to 'Blue Turtles' this week and some of the lyrics are a little corny especially in 'Russians' the line "Mr. Oppenheimer's deadly toy"! Sting was very egotistical then and very righteous. A lot of people hated his 'I'm telling you' attitude. He was coming across as the intellectual giant of pop, campaigning for the Rain Forrest, Amnesty and trying to save the world. Still he delivered what is the most important thing for a creative artist, the music. Who cares about his views when he gives us 'Fortress Around Your Heart' and 'Children's Crusade'. I actually met him last summer the night before he played in Cork city, Ireland. I had a photo taken with him and he was very quiet. I even shared a joke with himself and Trudy. I'm not a celebrity hound but it was great to see a man that wrote some great songs that you liked growing up, in the flesh. I would have loved to do a quick interview as I am a film maker myself, but he was after an evening meal and heading back to his hotel. I saw the concert the following night and he rocked 'em all. I saw him in Dublin in '96 also.

***** That reminds me of - but in a very different sense - when The Police came and played at Aztec Stadium at San Diego State University when I was kid - I guess about 12 or 13, when they were at the peak of their original success (right around the time Synchronicity was released, '83 or so). Aztec Stadium is basically like a big bowl. We lived on the eastern edge of campus, next to what was then a sprawling parking lot (now a huge parking garage), probably around a mile-1.5 miles from the Stadium. Me and some friends were outside, walking back to my house. The way the sound projected out from the bowl it sounded like The Police were playing in a boom box right next to us. We went to the campus and of course had no money for tickets. We kept trying to find a way to sneak in around the fencing they had put up to keep people (like us non-ticket-payers) out. No such luck. Lots of security guards around and they kept watching me and my buddies. Never did find a way to sneak in but still it sounded like they were right next to us playing. Closest I've ever gotten to hear The Police play. Sorry to hear your experience wasn't so great. Many concerts these days are like that - huge stadiums to maximize tour revenue, very expensive tickets that are 2-10x face value because of Stubhub, and the seats where you'd get the most enjoyment are often thousands, easy. Nothing like when I was a kid and saw The Who, Kiss, Rush, Judas Priest, Aerosmith... and you could actually afford it (or, well, my parents could anyway). Anytime my 13 y.o. wants to go to a concert, it's almost impossible to afford even crappy tickets and because everything is online most face value tickets are sold in seconds.

This is a beautiful song!! I played this thousands and thousands of times I had a bad break up in 1987!!Wow!! The memories.

There is still magic, you just have to go looking for it. Now more than ever, independent and amateur artists have a platform for wide audiences, it's just that it isn't through the same mediums that it was back then. In stead of the radio or TV, it's the internet. And if you know where to look, you'll see it. Like a secret garden.

_"Be still my beating heart"_ is the start phrase to this fascinating composition by Sting. The phrase is already out there in varied literary forms going back 300 years or more. No doubt Sting has pulled out that poetic phrase from his literary knowledge and built his song around it. I hadn't known of Sting's lyrics until having heard the arresting phrase the-day-before-yesterday quoted by a UK radio presenter _(James O’Brien on LBC Radio)_ that made me want to research the phrase online - which led to historic literary explanations and then to Sting's evocative singing. Sting - I've written a message of thanx to you and secured it in an empty bottle (not plastic) and chucked it into the sea with an embedded chip that will hopefully propel the bottle via satellite navigation and lunar tidal pulling power to your home area. Please look out for it in about ten years. 🌜

His music defies popular music convention. He melds reggae, latin, eastern folk, funk, straight ahead grooves twisted with odd time signatures. He also had the very best musicians working with him. He has ensured his longevity and relevance...

Sting...in his prime...musical and lyrical genius.

I just turned 50, this album is legitimately sacred in my heart. My first favorite album. This song is like a hymn to me.

Seriously. How does one dude make so much perfect music. Well, with the best studio musicians on the face of the planet. But still..

3:38-3:56 is one of the most beautiful sections of music I have ever heard. I wish he had made it longer

I heard that this song he dedicated to his mother after she died... So I think it's just enough of this kind of light beautiful harmonies for this song.

Augford P. Doggie This is one of the tricks I love Sting's music for. For instance we can find quite a similar part in If I Ever Lose My Faith In You - prior to this line: ...I could be lost inside their lies without a trace... Well, I love Sting's music in general, of course!!!

Interesting how Sting had a really handsome filled out face in this 1987 video. He's still a looker but he's whittled away that youthfulness into a very respectable mature appearance.

Cool.

Mr Sting have given us many beautiful songs over the years. This is one of them and its 2021.

This song gives me chills like no other. Absolutely amazing lyrics and voice.

God!! I wish they still made music and wrote lyrics like this today... makes it that much more enjoyable.

They're artist that do, you've gotta search to find their work though!

One of my favorites from Sting's solo career. This cat always brings such an awesome sense of artistry to his craft. Mad props!

They just dont make music like this anymore. Amazing work to this day.

Mr.Sting is sidekick for my soul when I look for an answer🙏🤞🏻

Your voice covers me like a warm blanket. I'm like a babe clinging to the skirt of her mum, you have been there when no one was...thank you Sting.

I was driving one day in L.A. and saw a small crew taking photos of someone.I stopped to take a closer look and it was Sting. These photos would later be inserted into this video. I did have a chance to meet him and he seemed like a good guy.

@@grohuskochris I was closing down my life in L.A., moving to Rio de Janeiro. I was used to seeing the usual trucks parked when movies. TV shows etc. were filming. This was just a small crew I saw. Only because I had time on my hands I just decided to stop and see what this very small crew was doing. One photographer, one young lady sitting in a chair with some paper and maybe one other and Sting. The photographer was about 20 ft up in a cherry picker taking photos of Sting lying on the ground. I remember just walking over and I started conversation with the girl with papers. It was the lyrics to Be Still My Beating Heart and I thought, oh cool I can look forward to that when it comes out. When they were done I called over to Sting and he turned toward me...remember nobody is there but a little kid walked over. I told him I was a fan and had seen the Police in concert blah blah. He said thanks and joked and asked what I thought of this not so glamorous thing he was doing? I basically said...It's a job right? The little boy said something to him but I couldn't understand and Sting said "who do you think I am...Barry Manilow"? He left in a Jeep with the script girl driving. Location was a little small park at North Spring St. and North Broadway in L.A. I think called Downey Pool (neighborhood pool). Crazy thing I saw him at Maracana Stadium in Rio less than 2 months later. And yes he sang Be Still My Beating Heart.

The actress in the MV believed to be Mitzi Martin. Her appearance reminds me of Patrick Nagels works back in the 80's, with the contrast of dark hair to her ghostly skin which leaves her blue eyes as the attention grabber. A mere glance into her eyes is hypnotic in the MV. Her prancing movements is the center of attention but merely for brief moments. Lastly just to let you know, if you haven't figured it out by now, I almost forgot to mention..... this is one of my favorite MV's.

You can Say when an artist got some real Genius. This Song Is a gem. Brilliantly composed, perfectly played, meticolously harmonised. Sting found wonderful musicians to make this album.

Another great Sting tune. Is there any music Sting has done that is not fantastic? What a talent. Thanks, Sting.

I remember when this song debuted and it sounded so new and innovative. 33 years later this song sounds even more modern than most charting music today and I wouldn't even say that this sounds like an "80s song" at all.

One of my all time favorite Sting ballads. It's haunting, but so true about the perils of love.

I wriggle like a fish on dry land. My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion. 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

Genius... ha ha !! It makes me giggle how good this is. Sting's constant focus and lyrical thematic has exposed the subject of the ego mind and the struggle to free oneself from it. He might lead you into the idea of romance and make you wonder which one it is... since he takes you on a trip that walks that line so subtlety... ;-) Just sublime and deeply contemplated as it has always been Sting's only aim and priority. This guy is music gold.

This is such a beautiful song !!!! 💓💓💓💓💓💓

Sting was in a dark place when he wrote this song that's why this is a timeless classic..#Stingisclassic

My classical dynamics post-graduate lecturer posts the lyrics from his favourite songs before every lecture. This song was one of them.

musical construction of this song is a masterpiece...

Every teen as that one song that perfectly personifies their teenage angst. This was mine. Ah the 80's 😉

This is so good that after all these years it still feels like listening for the first time giving me goosebumps...

Sting is one of those long interval special once every so hundred years Artist. His introspection and ability to connect with different eras,namely ancient european orthodoxy and revive the micro details in such a articulate way,that it becomes a world experience to listen to his music. His music admonishes a deeper introspection of the vast tentacles of the world around us all. Long live Sting
