Discography – Sting – Bring On The Night (1986)
The first CD :
Bring On The Night/When the world is running down
Consider me gone
Low Life
We work the black seam together
Driven To Tears
Dream of the blue turtles/Demolition Man

The second CD :
One world (not three)/Love is the seventh wave
Moon over Bourbon Street
I burn for you
Another Day
Children's crusade
Down So long
Tea In the Sahara

A double disc with songs (maybe which were forgotten) in live, extract from some concerts in Paris, Roma and Arnheim. He care about agreements, the atmosphere, the sequence (the one I prefer is "Bring on the night/when the world is running down", amazing!!) and he offers some new songs.

There is too a movie about Bring on the night, I advice you to see it, it's fantastic! The DVD is released this year.

Discography – Sting – The Dream Of The Blue Turtles (1985)

Discography – Sting – The Dream Of The Blue Turtles (1985)
If You love somebody set them free
Love is the seventh wave
Russians
Children's Crusade
Shadows in the rain
We work the black seam
Consider me gone
The dream of the Blue Turtles
Moon over Bourbon Street
Fortress around your heart

The name of his first solo album came from a dream he made: he saw his garden of Hampstead laid waste to 4 big blue turtles, they represented the four musicians in his band. (He made strange dreams no?)

Love is the seventh wave : good song, and the video clip, it's fantastic too!"I was at Eddy Grant's studio, watching the surfers, and they told me that the seventh wave was the strongest wave: they get stronger and stronger until the seventh wave, then start again. So the idea of love being the strongest wave that
would encompass everything in a destructive, apocalyptic way was an appealing one at the time"

Russians: This song makes me cry, the music and his voice it's amazing! "Russians" was written in 1984 in a period when the Cold War between east and west was still strong and nuclear armament was employed by both sides. He borrowed the theme "Romance" from Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev.

Children Crusade: is about the scourges like drug and war which children are the victims.

We work the black seam: on this song he denounces the system of Thatcher.

Moon Over Bourbon Street was inspired by Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice, a novel that was given to Sting by Andy Summers. If you hear at the end, (put the sound loud!) you can hear Sting make his famous now, wolf 'cry! I love when he does that! Lol

Discography – The Police – Synchronicity (1983)
Synchronicity I
Walking in your footsteps
O My God
Mother
Miss Gradenko
Synchronicity II
Every Breath You Take
King Of Pain
Wrapped around your finger
Teah in the Sahara
Murder by number

The name of this album came yet of a book: "Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle" by the philosopher (Again!!Lol) Carl Jung.
It is for me the best album of the band, don't you? But I don't like "Mother"... Why ? This song frightens me!!Lol

Every breath You Take: As many people believe, it's not a love song! Sting said in an interview: "When people told me I 'm falling in love on this song, or I get married on this song. I said them: Good Luck!" He is so funny our Sting!: P So this song is about a man stalking his grilfrench.
An other information about this song : Sting won a British Music Industry award for 2 million plays of that record,which, added up, is about seventeen years of continuous radio play! ( You imagine!Lol) Sting said about this that it will be a boring station!I think too.. Lol

It was the last album of The Police ... :'(

Discography – The Police – Ghost in the Machine (1981)
Every little thing she does is magic
Invisible Sun
Spirits in the material world
Hungry for You
Demolition Man
Too much information
Rehumanize Yourself
One world (not three)
Omegaman
Secret Journey
Darkness

The name of the album is the title of a book « Le Zéro et l'infini » (sorry I don't know the title in English) by the philosopher Koestler, it deals with man's "automated" behaviour.

"Spirits In the material world": is about the loss of trust in politics solution of our problems for Sting. He showed us in this album his opinions, like "One world (not three)", "Invisible Sun" which is about the strikes in Belfast, in Ireland.
"Hungry for you": Sting sings in French, do you want to know why? (He he:P) because he thinks that the language is better than English to express erotic thoughts!! Lol What can we say after that ... Lol

Discography – The Police – Zenyatta Mondatta (1980)
Don't Stand so close to me
Driven To Tears
When the world is running down You make the best of what is still around ( Longer title!!Lol)
Canary in a coalmine
Voices inside my head
Bombs away
De do do do, De da da da
Behind my camel
Man in a Suitcase
Shadows in the rain
The other way of stopping

Miles Copeland (the manager) said: "I have found this title Trio-Mondo-Domina (3 blonds guys dominating the world), but the band didn't want this name". They kept the idea of the world, and it became Zenyatta Mondatta.

"Don't stand so close to me" ( I love the video clip, you know why.. lol), great song, is based on a book called Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. This book is about the unhealthy relationship between an older man and a young girl.

"De do do do, de da da da", when you listen it, you have the song all the day! Lol
Sting said about the song: "Why Da Do Ron Ron, why Doo Wah Diddy, why Be Bop A Lula (he sang it!), why Tutti Frutti worked. I came up with the idea that they worked because they were totally innocent. They weren't trying to tell you anything or distort your vision."
