Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me . I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info.
As an Arab American , we went crazy for this because we hadn’t had too many crossovers between the Arab world and the West when it came to music like this. I was 16 and ate it up big time!
Its a beautiful crossover, the sound of his Arabic voice is stunning, I have always loved this song. Its smooth and great to put on repeat and just close your eyes and listen to the sounds
Sting repeats the expression, "Ya Leil" in his lyrics, "ya leil, ya leil." "Ya Ein Ya Leil" is a popular phrase in Arabic culture that carries significant cultural value. The phrase is often used in conversations, music, movies, and television shows, making it an integral part of the Arab identity. The literal translation of "Ya Ein Ya Leil" is "Oh eye, oh night." The phrase is believed to have originated from the Arabic poetry tradition, where poets would use it to express emotions such as sadness or longing. "Ya Ein Ya Leil" is commonly used in different scenarios, such as expressing emotions of sadness, longing, or excitement. The usage of the phrase can vary depending on the context and the speaker's tone of voice. For example, the phrase can be used to express disappointment, as in "Ya Ein Ya Leil, I can't believe it's raining again." Alternatively, it can be used to express excitement, as in "Ya Ein Ya Leil, I can't wait for the concert tonight!"
True, we cal also just say “Ya leil” instead.. or we can repeat it “Ya leil ya leil”. I as an Arab have used this phrase quite a lot without really notice its significance lol… a very common way of using it is in this scenario when something annoying happens again “Ya leeeil… not again!!”
The other singer is the Algerian singer Cheb Mami. He sings typical Algerian Raï music. The song is about lost love and longing. If you liked this song you definitely should listen to Aicha from Cheb Khaled.
The style of music Ceb Mami sings is called Rai music. He studied it at aged 18 when he moved from Algiers to Paris, France in 1985. Over time Cheb Mami's music evolved into a blend of Mediterranean and Western influences, including Turkish, Flamenco, and Greek music, as well as Latin music. His voice is tinged with Andalusian-Spanish accents, and his music is an amalgamation of traditional and modern styles of singing.
This song has been a heavily underrated track. It came out during a time when other music genres were dominating the airwaves. I recall that time when it debuted, it didn't get as much attention as it deserved. Mostly because listeners weren't that interested in other cultures. But if you ask me, this song by Sting is a mind-opener, if that makes sense.
I was 18 when this came out, and there were definitely those of us cultured enough to appreciate how awesome this song was. Two different cultures and styles blending beautifully. On another note, "A Thousand Years" off the same album is another one I really like.
"Pensive" means to be lost or engaged in deep thought or reflection. Something like that. It's a root form that comes from Latin, and you see versions of it in Latin based languages. Like in Spanish "pensar" means "to think". I think if you go back far enough, it's meaning also meant to "weigh" or "ponder", but generally it's to do with the process of thought, thinking, or being thoughtful.
Cheb Mami has magical voice! What a combination! One of the very best songs ever! When I was a child I could listen to it all day and so do I now! ❤😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
So happy that you react to one of my suggestions Miss Bisscute❤❤❤ thanks. Desert rose is a great song and a great collaboration of Sting with Cheb Mami, he sings in Algerian Arabic and he's great.
Miss Bisscute, I am very happy that you have reacted to one of my suggestions. Sting is such a good singer and songwriter and he has so many great solo songs, songs with the police and collaborations like Desert Rose. suggestions for future reactions Bisscute: Fortress Around Your Heart it's a master piece by Sting, hopefully you could react in other mixes Rock-pop with other cultures music, please you have to react to Peter Gabriel secret world tour live, song: In your eyes you will be fascinated with the mixture of sounds and music.
I remember when this song came out I did take notice of it and liked it, but it was MASSIVELY overshadowed by other albums of that year. Fuel, Tool, A Perfect Circle, SO MANY landmark albums in that time span ate up all my attention
Sting - 'If I ever lose my faith in you' ... 'Russians' ... 'They dance alone'... 🔥🔥 Cheb Mami was the guest vocalist - he's Algerian... and the track was inspired by North African/ Mediterranean grand music, similar to 'Kashmir' by Led Zeppelin.
"ya leil ya leil" is a very common phrase in Arabic songs, especially Egyptian ones. When a singer wants to flex his talent and shows his vocals capabilities, he would say this phrase with different and harder tones. same concept with Turkish singers and the word "Aman Aman"
Two other great Sting songs: “Shape of my heart” 30 years old, from “Ten summoner’s tales”, the same album that had “Fields of gold” on it (that you will definitely have heard somewhere)!
This song always gives me memories of Iraq. Not the countryside, which was still gripped in war when I was there as a soldier. The parts around Baghdad where merchants catered to outsiders, Americans and others. It was a coalition war, so there was something for every nation involved.
Both these men must have a BEAUTIFUL soul.. there's absolutely NO WAY to create such a beautiful collaboration otherwise. This song is an out of body experience. ❤️🙏😎🔥💯
Hello Miss Bisscute & Subscribers !!! As always the like button 🔘 has been Illuminated 😁👍👍😎. The Police had Quite a Few Amazing Hits indeed here is A short list after your Roxanne rev... 1) Every breath you take 2) Don't Stand so close to Me 3) Every little thing she does is Magic Hope these Help as my Suggestions 🤗🎵🎶🎸🎹🌅🏝️🌴 Still I would like to offer you 2 more Story songs yet they are on the Slower Side 1) Gordon lightfoot ( Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald ) 2) Bread ( Diary )
😂 yes I know that moment, I'm Czech and there are many song in which I heard something completely different mainly when there were no lyrics around. 😅 Beautiful song, Sting have gift from God ❤ Greetings and keep on 👍
I see a lot of comments criticizing the list. I will agree these aren’t all of her most popular hits but I think it proves how phenomenal her discography is. Mary definitely deserves another week or two to display the full range of talent. I’ve enjoyed this laidback groove thus far.
Has Biss reacted to any Police yet I wonder? Every Breath You Take official video is a must. Also that Fields of Gold song she will definitely love that one
Biss great pick and reaction to probably my favorite Sting song as well. The mix is amazing with all the sounds, the panning left and right, background vocals, and of course Sting himself doing almost yodels. I also enjoyed the video which I had never seen before. I noticed how quickly the song grabbed your attention and you rewound quickly. By the way I have an extended audio version I love and am sure there are multiple mixes like dance mixes available should you want to explore those. Thanks again for the reaction!
Seven Days, Shape of my Heart, Still my Beating Heart, Russians, Inside, Love is the Seventh Wave, the list of Sting excellent solo work is extensive. Cool reaction to this tune.
I still really love this original song a lot. However, for me the best version of this song is now the one sung by Faouzia. 😮 I'd highly recommend checking out her performance on the Chinese Singer 2024 competition, it will melt your brain. I've heard her sing it live 2 years ago and this version is even better. 🤩
This is hand down a great collaboration between different artists great music achievement Cheb mami is not an ordinary artist he is extraordinary artist starting from 82 during the birth of genre music from Algeria "rai" this kind of music is unique and deep and the influence is similar to what Blues or rock to music in the west
Sting wrote this song inspired by the novel DUNE (the one that's adapted into a movie in the '80s & adapted again as a movie in 2021 with Timothy Chalamet) because he's a big fan of the novel. He was actually in the '80s version of the movie as one of the villains.
Hi. Ok here is, my recomendación of the day the band is LORDI from Finland, they won the Eurovision 2006 contest and the song is called "Hard Rock Hallelujah" I think is a funny song and also they play with monster custom😂😂 so you should watch that video.
This song was featured in a luxury car commercial in the last few years. I think Jaguar maybe? I just remember it was a really nice brand and I hadn't heard this song in a long time before that. It's what drew me to it. Such a good song.
This is the longest car commercial I’ve seen. 😂 All jokes aside, they actually did use this video in a car commercial. Sting is a great international music collaborator.
One of my favorites from Sting's solo catalog is "Russians" from his debut solo album. It's creepy that 38 years after it's release it's relevant again.
Something you might like a lot, Jackson Brown, "The Pretender". You really like the piano & he's one of the original OG piano players of the 70's. He was one of the artists' who was part of the "California" sound of the era. Along with The Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Bernie Leadon and others.
You can literally see her falling in love with the song as it plays out! You see the same reaction when she hears Dave Gilmore starts singing on the Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb video.
To be hearing this for the first time again... Your face said it all in the beginning.... And i am so very jealous. 😉 I have loved this song since i heard the first notes in 1999. This is a perfect song.
Pensive means in deep thought. Thank you for reviewing Desert Rose with with Sting & Cheb Mami. I have loved this song since it was released. So beautiful the blending of languages & song styles.

I-40 from Arizona to Nevada.
More Sting! His song "Shape of My Heart" is beautiful, probably my favourite (although it's so hard to choose from his so many excellent songs!)
Got it, hopefully more in the future

Sting sang and played bass guitar for the Police. He also sang “I want my MTV” on Money for Nothing by Dire Straits.

Herd this when it came out I've never herd the live version lm glad you played it nice reaction and have a nice day❤😊
Sting's got LOADS of bangers! Check out "Brand New Day", the song itself, from the album of the same name which "Desert Rose" also is on.
The desert rose band is one of my favorites
I dream of biscuit. the desert rose your parent are blessed ❤😊
This is the longest car commercial I’ve seen. 😂 All jokes aside, they actually did use this video in a car commercial. Sting is a great international music collaborator.
Amazing
One of my favorites from Sting's solo catalog is "Russians" from his debut solo album. It's creepy that 38 years after it's release it's relevant again.
Whenever I hear Sting's Russian's I also almost always then listen to Billy Joel's "Leningrad".
Natural Biss is so beautiful. Best reactor too!

I didn't appreciate this song as a teenager, listening to it now - it's amazing!!
Its a great song ❤️
Why are you so cute reacting to this masterpiece of a song, Bisscute! ;)
Such an underrated song. So good. That rain smell is O3, also known as ozone.
It’s my new favorite from Sting
the name of the smell after rain is "petrichor"
You are partially correct
Biscute "pensive" means involving or reflecting deep or serious thought❤
You can literally see her falling in love with the song as it plays out! You see the same reaction when she hears Dave Gilmore starts singing on the Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb video.
Really the arabian rythm its awesome, there are a lot of chillout arabian music so wonderfull, and this Sting featuring is mindblowing !!
My first date, dessert rose was playing in the background. Miss those days.
Nice
masterpiece by sting, great reaction x
Hahahah... your face after activating the subs and going back mid-song made me laugh. Love your reactions!
Haha glad you enjoyed that
Yup, Fields of Gold with Sting playing the lute it my favorite version
Thanks Bisscute foro choose this special song f'or me
To be hearing this for the first time again... Your face said it all in the beginning.... And i am so very jealous. 😉 I have loved this song since i heard the first notes in 1999.
This is a perfect song.
It’s my new favorite, love it. Thanks for watching
I agree with some other people here saying ou should give 'fields of gold' by sting a listen too.
I’ll note it down, ty
My dad really liked this song...he's passed now. But it always makes me think of him.
Hi Biss, beautiful song, I think it was used in a Jaguar commercial. The music makes me feel like I'm floating.
