Attention: STING LOVERS

Blog Posted by Carole Duet: 6/15/2018 1:11:00 PM

Yes, I've  added one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard within a wonderful video by Sting to my poem, "STILL".  It's called "A Thousand Years".  Come listen, watch, read and hopefully...enjoy!

Gorgeous tune ... I am a recording artist (under my moniker) and Sting's music has been a big influence. I have met him a couple of times, once at a small workshop at Berklee many years ago, and learned a great deal from him and Vinnie Colaiuta about polyrhythms and melody structure. I still play "Fragile" on guitar on a regular basis, as it is a favorite, along with "Sister Moon" and many others. "A Thousand Years" is a wonderful groove-driven song, that he wrote by building the words around the rhythm, not his usual process. Love it! I will check out your poem soon! :-)

Hi Greg! I didn't know you were a musician too...and wow! I can't believe you actually met Sting. Honestly, I can't think of a single thing he's done that I don't like. I have been a big fan for a long time. And, yes, yes this one is so special. The background music alone is just, as you said, "gorgeous" and so moving. I could listen to it every day and I don't think I'd ever get tired of it. I am a music-lover all the way...majored in music in high school and was supposed to major in music in college but due to an illness I had to change majors. I am better at writing lyrics than music though. Come listen to and read my songs: "Whirlwind", "Be Careful", and "Tired of Waiting".

Very nice, Faraz. I followed the link and yes, I like the song but for me, personally, it just isn't in the same league as Sting's version. IMO....Thank you for the comment and suggestion though. Carole Duet

Hi Faraz! Yes, it truly is a beautiful song with a beautiful meaning/theme but I didn't know that there is a Part 1 and 2. Please let me know about the other version. And, thank you for your comment. Carole :D
