I mean...daaaaaamn...

Sting sings John Dowland: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNzK28eCdc8

No, his voice isn't the kind that is usually suited for these songs, but it works for me. I like the texture of his voice, and come on, it's STING!


Anyway, enjoy the song!

I like that!


Sting has a wonderful voice, and a great stage presence. I have a personal favorite--- here he is singing Ne Me Quitte Pas---a gorgeous classic sad French song which translates as "Do not leave me"

Do not leave me
We must forget
All we can forget all we did till now
Let's forget the cost of the breath
We've spent saying words unmeant
And the times we've lost hours that must destroy
Never knowing why everything must die at the heart of joy
Do not leave me do not leave me
Do not leave me do not leave me

I'll bring back to you the pearls of rain
From a distant domain where rain never fell
And though I grow old I'll keep mining the ground
To deck you around in gold and light
I'll build you a domain where love's everything
Where love is king and you are queen
Do not leave me do not leave me
Do not leave me do not leave me

Do not leave me
For you I'll invent
Words and what they meant only you will know
Tales of lovers who fell apart and then fell in love again
There's a story too that I can confide
Of that king who died from not meeting you
Do not leave me do not leave me
Do not leave me do not leave me

And often it's true that flames spill anew
From ancient volcano's we thought were too old
When all's said and done scorched fields of defeat
Could give us more wheat than the fine April sun
And when evening is nigh with flames overhead
The black and the red aren't they joined in the sky
Do not leave me do not leave me
Do not leave me do not leave me

Do not leave me
I will cry no more
I will talk no more hide myself
To look at you and see you dance and smile
And hear you sing and laugh
Let me be for you the shadow of your shadow
The shadow of your hand the shadow of your dog
Do not leave me do not leave me
Do not leave me do not leave me
