Should i cry sting

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.

Sting could be saying that when everything bleeds to red, everything is becoming a blur, and that it leaves him numb and hence "asleep" or just going through the motions, drifting in his lonliness forever. But would north be true? Dark angels follow me Over a godless sea Mountains of endless falling, For all my days remaining, This next part Sting is saying to himself If I had done things differently could things have been different.

Then he is expressing emotions of possibly anger, by saying why should I cry for you, when you rejected me? Possibly even a little bit of depair, as in saying what is the point of it all. He is haunted by these Demons "Dark Angels" and he may even be feeling like God is against him, or at least the fates. He is a lost man for eternity. And what would it mean to say, That, I loved you in my fashion"?

Sting is saying that the memories are so painful, and that his love is so great for them that nothing else matters. He then goes on to ask himself why he has to torture himself like this, especially when they have moved on with their life.

Finally he is saying I loved you the best way I knew how, why wasnt that good enough? This is one of my favorite songs from Sting. I think the lyrics and dreamy music mix perfectly to make a hauntingly brilliant song, guaranteed to hit anyone in the gut who has really experienced a trully heartbreaking end to a romance.

There was an error. I like your interpretation. I would just like to att that in in Berlin, Sting had a little intro to the song, where he said that the song was to his father, as if he had followed his father's wishes and gone to sea.

Play from en. Kind regards from the Faroe Islands. The sole proprietor of truth. But not a word you said is correct. General Comment Once again Sting wrote a real poem. The lyrics alone can bring tears to your eyes and even more so if you know under which circumstances the song was written!

What I find interesting and what hasn't been mentioned yet: I think we agree that the sea in general and the North Atlantic here in particular are symbols of sadness and loneliness. Then I would translate the "Would north be true? Doesn't life go on? Was the person I lost worth all this?

As Sting seems to like quoting Shakespeare, do you think he's refering to the famous Hamlet quote "I am but mad north-north-west, when the wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a handsaw"?

It could be a hint that he's temporarily mad, caused by all the pain he's going through. WhiteWolfDief on June 26, Link. Dark angels follow me Over a godless sea Mountains of endless falling, For all my days remaining, waywardtom on May 23, General Comment Ok, sailing as a metaphor.

It's really not an uncommon literary theme. The wanderer, the sea-farer, searching, alone, out on the cold, impersonal seas. It's NOT about sailing. It is about love lost. Could be a lover that died or merely a relationship that ended which he still longs for. Both interpretations can apply. Well, as long as it isn't taken so literally.

In the closing moments, the barrier that the water provided to protect the narrator from dealing with his issues head-on is eradicated. That the old man can no longer answer him is irrelevant.
