Sting I watched this thing on A&E tonight, "Sting in Tuscany". I'm not a big Sting fan...I mean I guess some of his stuff is really beautiful and heartfelt, but I just miss when he rocked with The Police. I liked his "Dream of the Blue Turtles" when I was in high school. And I really liked the song "Fragile" a few years later, I even bought the spanish version of it. The show on A&E was interesting, because it was set to be filmed right around September 11th, and then, of course, everything changed. It was sort of a documentary of his band rehearsing for the original filming, and then it showed them reacting to the Sept 11th thing, and deciding what to play, and if to play at all. They were undecided over "Fragile", but ultimately decided to play it, and the lyrics are pretty haunting in respect to Sept 11th...interesting, considering the song was written like at least ten years ago. "If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one Drying in the color of the evening sun Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away But something in our minds will always stay Perhaps this final act was meant To clinch a lifetime's argument That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could For all those born beneath an angry star Lest we forget how fragile we are On and on the rain will fall Like tears from a star like tears from a star On and on the rain will say How fragile we are How fragile we are On and on the rain will fall Like tears from a star like tears from a star On and on the rain will say How fragile we are How fragile we are" He also sang "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You", a song that I never got too attached to when it was popular, but it hit me in the gut tonight...because of Jon. "You could say I lost my faith in science and progress You could say I lost my belief in the holy church You could say I lost my sense of direction You could say all of this and worse, but If I ever lose my faith in you There'd be nothing left for me to do Some would say I was a lost man in a lost world You could say I lost my faith in the people on TV You could say I'd lost my belief in our politicians They all seemed like game show hosts to me If I ever lose my faith in you There'd be nothing left for me to do I could be lost inside their lies without a trace But every time I close my eyes I see your face I never saw no miracle of science That didn't go from a blessing to a curse I never saw no military solution That didn't always end up as something worse, but Let me say this first If I ever lose my faith in you There'd be nothing left for me to do" I'll be with Jon in a week! I'll never lose my faith in him. Miss These?
