As a young farm boy back in 1959, I recall sitting with my soon to be wife, the love of my life, and watching the wheat wave in the breeze as we dreamed of our future. I lost her to cancer in 1996. This song always brings a tear to my eye. Beautiful bright brown eyes with dark, soft, long hair and very intelligent lady. So dearly missed and so lovingly remembered. Love this song.
So Sorry to hear of your loss, Cancer has ravaged many a family. I'm sure your wife was larger than life, so it must follow that she will always be with you.
My brother died on Friday. He loved sting. Stings words.. "you'll remember me" Thats enough. I'll play it at his funeral and keep his spirit with me forever.
Perhaps they are not the starts . But rather openings In the heavens where the love of our lost ones pours through. And shines down upon us . To let us know they are happy .
I used to drive my son to school on my bike, both of us singing this song in our imperfect English. I remember thinking, please God, make this moment last for ever.
I‘m a 24 old, Not Many at my Age know and listen to this song, I can‘t describe what this song means to me, sometimes I can‘t handle that much beautiness and tears come into my eyes. I Love this Song - this era of music seems so emotional to me. Must have been a stunning time to be young. Thank you Sting for this masterpiece.
Acredito tbm q tenha sido uma época boa , quesito músicas por exemplo , letras tao tocantes , tão profundas ! Isso sim é música !!! ❤😢 tenho 38 amo músicas antigas !
As a kid. My dad woke me up to this every morning. He passed away a few weeks ago. I can barely get through the whole song. It brings such peace love and pain to my heart. I love you forever dad.
Hi, I’m sorry for responding to your adorable activities here. you have such a thrilling profile, words fail to complement your wonderful and lovely personality. I'll really appreciate if you accept me as a friend. If you're interested in chatting with me
Sorry for your loss! Its hard enough when someone passes naturally but when you do not expect it its so much worse. My brother committed suicide in a solo car crash September 2 two years ago. Its very difficult I mean I am at the anger stage of grief. But I am also upset that I can never ask him any questions. It may sound odd to some but its just how I feel right now.. Again Im sorry for your loss
Jonathan Winfield I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your story. Suicide is a hard one to process. I won’t say I understand why you’re going through, because no one understands what any of use is going through. Grief is a very hard thing to process and we will go through many stages of it. For instance, Even though my husband’s death baffled investigators and we suspect that he may have suffered a stroke or seizure on the road (he had a concussion 2 days before)... I still felt very angry toward him for a while. I told him to go get check after the concussion but he staunchly refused. We also have 2 little ones under the age of 4 and one on the way. This lasted about 2 weeks and I am now in the acceptance stage and just going over everything we built together.
This song brings tears to my eyes. My wife had cancer and listened to this song all the time coz our daughter sang it for her. She’s now 16 years in remission and I thank the lord, my life could have been so different having to bring our daughter up by myself. They are extremely close now. ❤️❤️
A moment that will last forever as long the generations that remember this song are alive. Millennials will remember this song, but what about future generations?
@@ildart8738Some millenial might one day make a hit movie and use it as a soundtrack. And the cycle might repeat with future generations.Just look at what happened to Running up that hill .
@condurachesorin Well that's debatable, because Placebo did a cover of Kate Bush's "Running Up This Hill" and went further with their version then she ever did on her own until the "Stranger Things" show. Most people thought Placebo were the original recording artist.
@@CarpeNoctem0917 It happenes to a lot of songs. Heck, when I was kid I thought that The Man who sold the world was a Nirvana original. It took Metal Gear Solid for me to start going down that rabbit hole. Same thing could happen to someone in the future with Fields of Gold.
Played this for my Dad multiple times the past few days as he was dying. It was a favourite of his that he would often be humming to himself. Always said it reminded him of his younger days growing up in Aberdeenshire, Scotland a part of the world with seas of gold barley in the summer months. I will always miss you Dad but I will always remember you through this song. Sleep tight.
I'm sorry about your loss 😢. My dad died 4 years ago and he was from Aberdeenshire too. These songs remind me of him. I wish I could be with him. We would listen to songs on the radio and we would sing them together.
Does anyone ever have that feeling of hearing just such a great song that it makes them just have a tingly feeling inside? Like it sorta feels like crying, except you aren't? That's what this song makes me feel.
The first time I heard this song was like 3 months ago, when my dad was driving me home from South Dakota. It was at night, and while we listened, it was totally silent as we looked at the lights of the city. Great experience.
@@marionleigh7050 Because of the way he reacted once when it was mentioned to him. Can't remember where and when, but he seemed to think it was just another song and wanted to move on. Then too, he may have just wanted to be humble.
@@matthewmchenry2889 Well, I certainly respect your opinion, but I like the way Sting sings it. And I will also listen to the way the Celts sing it, given the opportunity.
I'm a 53 year old, shaven headed, gym going, van driving builder, but I can't listen to more than a couple of lines of this song without welling up, It just reminds me of warm summer evenings walking with all the dogs I have ever owned, loved and lost. I'm not a spiritual person , and in my mind when you die , the lights go out and that's your lot, but if I'm wrong I hope that if just even for one evening I can have them all back together at one time , and we might walk in fields of gold .
@@paddyodawsmaclaferty3093 you're right, it is wired, there's plenty of songs that are supposed to a bit sad or emotional but none of them hits me like this one does
Today is my dad's funeral, this was his favorite song listening to it i feel like he's right here with me. Tomorrow is my second son birthday trying to be strong so he could have a happy day. This song helps.
My father used to play this song a lot when I was in Kindergarten and Elementary School. It gave him a lot of comfort because he was still grieving the loss of my paternal grandfather (his father) more than 10 years after his death. A drunk driver that was drag racing killed my Pop-Pop back in 1978. Now my own father is up there with him. Rest in peace. Both of you.
Man... exactly the same.And the best part? I wasn’t even born in the 90’s. Somehow I feel nostalgic about a time period that I never experienced. Dreaming of how my life would be...
before i got married , i had listened to this song, imagining a wife and 2 kids in the beautiful fields. now 25 years later , i have a wife and 2 kids . we have also travelled the world. Thank God. The power of positive affirmation
@@Parkerlee1000 Reach out and be willing to use the tools of the modern age and you'll find someone. =) Might not be the first person you meet but persistence and a bit of effort on improving yourself along the way will make it worthwhile. Good luck to you stranger.
My dad died today. He told me to play this when his time comes. I'll always remember him with this masterpiece. I'll show it to my future children alongside their grandfathers pictures and stories.
My uncle drowned in a river two days ago. He made a video with my pictures for my birthday when I turned 10 with this song, now I need to make a video for his funeral, I never thought that this song will be used like this. He was so kind, so sweet, so smart, he loved this life, he wanted to do so many things. Let him forever walk in the fields of gold. I didn’t tell you how much I love you. I miss you so much. I don’t know how I’m going to live without you.
So Sorry for your great loss of your Uncle ! Grief is the last act of love we have to give to those we loved ! Where there is deep grief there was great love ❤ Take Care Friend
I am so sorry for your loss. What a beautiful tribute to your uncle. He is smiling down to you from heaven. His love will live on forever in your heart. God bless. 🙏🏻🕊️
But Steven, the true miracles in music (not least with something like Duran Duran's "Ordinary World") come when they don't really sit and think too much, but allow the Holy Spirit to take their own talents to a higher and deeper and fuller level. Now let's be clear, nobody denies that these works are by the artists and from their souls, but those souls draw on the Spirit - now as in Biblical times, and again and again it happens that other people (e.g. myself) can see TRANSPARENTLY the depth of what has been produced, even as the makers are not always fully able to do so. You know that "Ordinary World" includes the lyrics: talking softly / lights / ghost / life / cry / survive / Passion / Pride / Cross / heart / my friend / gone away / suffering and greed / Fear / holy war and holy need / sorrow? Most reasonable people looking on would say that is not a religiously-neutral set of words, but who knows if the band even realise that? They themselves thought they were writing a melancholy commemorative song, yet many who hear it feel a kind of inspiring ectasy. The same with "Fields of Gold"... Many, many times we hear artists mumble semi-embarrassedly that "it just kind of came to me". This is all the more true of Brits, for whom self-deprecating embarrassment is a national sport. Of course, all that religious stuff is supposedly a bit too deep for Brits, so they force themselves into loudly-declared atheism again and again. That is probably why the Paraclete - who certainly has Its/His more-playful side - again and again helps Brits to produce divinely-inspired and divinely-inspiring creativity - Ralph Vaughan Williams, The Beatles, Shakespeare, Keane, Elbow, Coldplay, Richard Curtis, Adam Curtis, Sting, and so on (and on) (and on)...
@@crimson6658 No. But I'm not low in any way either. I feel as I feel without the aid of chemicals (except the ones my own body produces of course). I am a scientist and know quite a bit about scientific truth regarding the world and the universe. But like any TRUE scientist (unblinkered), I am on the look out for the (few but not zero) things going on around us that do not add up in line with conventional explanations. I go where the evidence takes me, and am thus interested in the impact certain songs or other pieces of music have on people. I had a religious encounter that was very closely similar to what is described in The Bible in regard to the Holy Spirit, and intriguingly that was not a very dreamlike experience, but really quiet tangible, if of course wonderful. I can't fully explain it, but know it happened and do not dismiss it - all the more so as it has definitely changed the way I see things ... in the direction of "seeing" more. It makes me so happy, and leaves me feeling so connected and in awe, that I actually panic and feel fearful over the prospect that I might return to what I was like before. So thanks for asking, Crimson - and I have no idea whether you got the answer you wanted or not. But bless you anyway!
I lost my dad 10 days ago. Tomorrow is his funeral. I have a very distinct memory of him playing this song on our road trips. He always made me feel safe growing up. This song reminds me of those precious moments and how I wish I could go back to those moments in my life ❤
I’m so sorry for your loss, my friend. I know what it’s like to lose your father. I lost mine 3 years ago. My father also used to play Sting’s music for us kids. Hang on to those memories. They will give you comfort for the rest of your life if you let ‘em.
@@StacheBigote it's amazing, just the love and support and encouragement in your response 😊 Thank you. I will hold on to these memories forever. I'm sorry you lost your father too. He sure raised a good person in you 🙏🏽
In terms of melody, I think this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It sounds so warm and peaceful ☀️. In these three and a half minutes you can at least try to think of a better world and forget the harsh reality.
My beautiful mother recently passed suddenly, but prior to her passing.. for the last few months she absolutely loved this song and constantly had it on repeat. It will forever remind me of her.🙏🏻💕
'Fields of Gold' is that song that whenever you hear it playing anywhere, your mind, heart, and soul instantly reset to it and you believe it to be the most breathtakingly beautiful song ever made.
I remember my friend. May she be walking in fields of gold… A precious soul and deeply missed. Please reach out to anyone feeling lost/alone/lonely/isolated…it’s the little things that can make all the difference. Keep going ❤ you are loved x
According to Sting, he got inspired to write this song after he bought a 16th-century manor house, which was surrounded by fields of barley. During the Summer the wind would blow over the shimmering surface of barley, and it just looked like a sea of gold. This is such a beautiful song with such beautiful lyrics.
I love love this, my husband passed 41 years ago..I was 32. He was the love of my life. We did walk on fields of Gold for 11 years. When my time comes, I will have this at my service. Sting is amazing and so is the version from Celtic Womam.
Unfortunately in my 36 years, I never walked with my beloved among the fields of gold. There is simply no one who would accept my love Maybe someday it's happen. Sting, thank you for your music, it's still make my lonely soul warm.
This song makes me feel like I'm in heaven, walking with mom in the fields of gold, holding hands, I can smell her beautiful fragrance in the wind, walking towards the sunset and She's telling me how happy she is in heaven. I miss you mom.. I miss you so much
Tasmina Pinky: What beautiful memories and feelings you have of your Mother. I believe you will definitely get to be with her again soon and do that thing which you desire. 😊 God bless you!
lyrics You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we walk in fields of gold So she took her love For to gaze a while Upon the fields of barley In his arms she fell as her hair came down Among the fields of gold Will you stay with me? Will you be my love? Upon the fields of barley We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we lie in fields of gold See the west wind move like a lover so Upon the fields of barley Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth Among the fields of gold I never made promises lightly And there have been some that I've broken But I swear in the days still left We'll walk in fields of gold We'll walk in fields of gold Many years have passed since those summer days Among the fields of barley See the children run as the sun goes down Among the fields of gold You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You can tell the sun in his jealous sky When we walked in fields of gold When we walked in fields of gold When we walked in fields of gold
Beautiful lyrics, brings back sweet times when my beloved was still walking beside me. Only Sting can relay a long gone gentler time with his mellow tones.
My precious mum died after a fiece battle with cancer this was played at her funeral it means so much. The last 4 years we lay in fields of gold in everything we did together, I have a sense of pride at how she still smiled and how we filled those last 4 years with so much love joy and precious memories
You'll remember me when the west wind moves upon the fields of barley You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky as we walk in fields of gold So she took her love for to gaze awhile upon the fields of barley In his arms she fell as her hair came down among the fields of gold Will you stay with me, will you be my love among the fields of barley? We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky as we lie in fields of gold See the west wind move like a lover so upon the fields of barley. Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth among the fields of gold I never made promises lightly and there have been some that I've broken But I swear in the days still left we'll walk in fields of gold We'll walk in fields of gold Many years have passed since those summer days among the fields of barley See the children run as the sun goes down among the fields of gold You'll remember me when the west wind moves upon the fields of barley You can tell the sun in his jealous sky when we walked in fields of gold When we walked in fields of gold, when we walked in fields of gold
Probably one of the most beautiful songs ever written. I think of all my loved ones who have passed every time I hear this. Sometimes I can't even listen to it - too painful
This is one of those songs that never go out of style regardless of its age. It still sounds endearing today as it did when it was released back in 1993.
Knowing Sting's history, this song brings tears to my eyes. He sings about a deep love, for wife, for children, something eternal, from his own experience, something he lost that ought never be lost. I keep switching between this and Fortress Around Your Heart, feeling the profound loss, and how I win or lose my own family every moment depending on whether or not I'm connected to my deep heart which enables me to love and see others and be present for them. Every moment, we give ourselves and those around us either Heaven or Hell, Life or Death, we're either building fortresses of fear and protection or building bridges to fields of gold.
I've always interpreted it as Sting immortalizing the mortal. A lot of things have changed since he fell in love in the "fields of barley, fields of gold" but its a place that will always symbolize that love. People visit it, they have children of their own and then they pass, but the fields remain forever.
@@inessa5923 I love this comment. I believe we're all called to become worthy of immortality. Most of the world will tell you perfection is not possible, I choose not to believe that and strive to see my path there and follow it, and also to see a spark of the perfect in each person and fan that spark.
This song never fails to bring a lump to the throat and a hint of a tear in the eye. One of the most beautiful and haunting songs done by anyone. As I write this - the sun is setting over the beach near home as my two children laugh happily in the other room after a lovely family day. I wish I could freeze this moment in time. Sting's finest moment as a solo artist.
We have all had those moments. Now my children are grown and gone and I am a widow. I miss being a young mother, wife and my two little boys. My life was so full and it was over way too fast. Now, I am just the old lady who lives down the street.
@@donnaemerson3313 I know what you mean Donna. My life was so great, a lovely wife, 2 wonderful children. Now they are all grown and gone. It seems like my whole life went by in a flash. I tell my younger friends and co-worker who have young families to enjoy that time of their lives as it will go away too soon. If I had a time machine, I'd go back to when my kids were 2 and 3 years old. That was the best time of my life.
This was played at a good friend's funeral this week .She loved the outdoors and worked as a scientist developing cereals mainly wheat but still ' Fields of Gold .'It is such a beautiful song .I will miss her so much 😢
I'm a 30 years old women. It's normally not my kind of music. But always when I hear this song, I close my eyes wherever I am and just listen. I dont cry in the beginning but when it comes to 2:13 the background music hits me right in my face and I can't hide my tears. Don't know why.. I love this song.❤️
"nedenini bilmiyorum" deyince aklıma Türk şairi Melih Cevdet Anday'ın Fotoğraf isimli şiiri geldi. Diyordu ki... Dört kişi parkta çektirmişiz, Ben, Orhan, Oktay, bir de Şinasi... Anlaşılan sonbahar Kimimiz paltolu, kimimiz ceketli Yapraksız arkamızdaki ağaçlar... Babası daha ölmemiş Oktay'ın, Ben bıyıksızım, Orhan, Süleyman efendiyi tanımamış. Ama ben hiç böyle mahzun olmadım; Ölümü hatırlatan ne var bu resimde? Oysa hayattayız hepimiz.
My dad asked about the lyrics of this song so I bought him the cd. It was the last gift I gave him as he passed away not long after. Now I always think of him when I hear this song.
This song is in the past tense. I think it's about a partner, lover, spouse who passes away or is near passing away and wants them to remember the times they had together. Through the good and bad, their love is unbreakable and he'll wait for them on the other side, to walk in Fields of Gold once again.
Joe R based on my analysi, the singer is the one who have died. he's the husband his wife's lying with back then among the fields of barley. he's singing through space and time to remind his beloved one about him and to tell her she would remember him all the time when similiar events happens again in the days to come. you can relate it the most if youre an elderly woman who have lost your husband, trust me. this is beautiful and Sting was a songwriter genius.
If you’re not sensitive, this song will make you sensitive. I’m extra sensitive and crying my eyes out. I was cleaning my house and this song came on the radio😢 I had to take a minute and enjoy and let go all my emotions. Thank you Sting for this masterpiece 🙏❤
I think so many simply did not understand this song. It’s about couple meeting, romance, “i never made promises lightly, and there have been some that I’ve broken” marriage vow, having children, and “Tell the sun in his jealous sky” is when she dies, and is in heaven. Fields of Gold is of course Fields of Wheat around Barley. In the end it truly is a masterpiece. A very beautiful short tale of life, romance and ending.
I think you're right to say many don't understand this song. Your interpretation was very insightful and for sure from now one I'm gonna look at this song differently. And to think of it.... The sky is said to be jealous because he actually died (since it says "YOU'LL remember me.... You can tell the sun in its jealous sky that we walked it fields of gold" Towards the end it said "see the children run as the sun goes down..." implying that they got married and had children of their own.
@@glennross85 wrong? Sting wrote the track after he bought a house near a barley field. The sunsets and the colours of the field helped inspired the lyrics, along with his love for wife Trudie Styler, whom he married in 1992.
My mum passed away from Covid last month n we laid her to rest on the 28th January 2021, this was her final song... This song means so much to me 😔😔❤️❤️
This Song was on as I left the hospital after my father passed away during a medical procedure..Never got to say goodbye. I know he is walking through Fields of Gold..
Fields Of Gold You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we walk in the fields of gold So she took her love For to gaze awhile Upon the fields of barley In his arms she fell as her hair came down Among the fields of gold Will you stay with me, will you be my love Among the fields of barley We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we lie in the fields of gold See the west wind move like a lover so Upon the fields of barley Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth Among the fields of gold I never made promises lightly And there have been some that I've broken But I swear in the days still left We'll walk in the fields of gold We'll walk in the fields of gold Many years have passed since those summer days Among the fields of barley See the children run as the sun goes down Among the fields of gold You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You can tell the sun in his jealous sky When we walked in the fields of gold When we walked in the fields of gold When we walked in the fields of gold
Had just left hospital visiting our Mom, who was dying of cancer in spring ‘93. This song came on and my sister broke down weeping. Sad memory but it is treasured. Hauntingly beautiful song.
This song inspired me to learn English on my own. I craved to know what Sting sings about and to know what story stays behind this wonderful song. It brings back bittersweet memories, various moments of my life.
i still like the video very much,the two lives in one, they seem the past or not lived future, but in reality it all happens at the same time, but our brain just creates the divine order to feel them again..great song with it.. thanks for your voice and intent Sting.
My wife and I renewed our vows on our 25th anniversary (2009). This was the song we played at the reception. We were in Germany in 1992. One summer day we picniced on the side of a hill overlooking a wheat field. We were fascinated by the winds movement on the ripe wheat. It was a special day for us. The first time we heard "Fields of Gold" in 1993 it became "Our song," and it has been ever since. Logan, I pray you and your new wife will find the happiness that we have had these past 32 years. God bless you both.
It was February 12, 1995. I was sitting on a couch at a party when she came in and walked around the corner. Knew it right then. I worked part time at a skating rink and I would put this song on for couple's skate as my mind was filled with thoughts of her. Almost 25 years together, married for 17 with three kids....still f'ing crazy about her. I need to go to bed now and cuddle up.
"In England, our house is surrounded by barley fields, and in the summer it's fascinating to watch the wind moving over the shimmering surface, like waves on an ocean of gold. There's something inherently sexy about the sight, something primal, as if the wind were making love to the barley. Lovers have made promises here, I'm sure, their bonds strengthened by the comforting cycle of the seasons." - Sting on writing this song.
I was listening when I read your comment. This song always transports me 25 years back to fields in the Cotswald. On vacation, soon after we were married, I don't know what the fields were on a sunny day when my wife and I found ourselves in fields there, maybe mustard, rapeseed? I don't know. It was BRIGHT yellow and the wind moved it. And I always think of it, see it, feel it. An eternal moment.
Such a powerful song that brings back many fond memories within our lifetime. Sadly, time waits for nobody and we're only on earth temporary, so cherish every day like its your last...
This was the soundtrack of a teenage love summer. It immediately takes me back to that moment and how I felt. That pit in your stomach that is surrounded by happiness, simplicity and innocence. That's what "Fields of Gold" is for me.
When I was child, I listened this almoust every day on radio. Now, I'm still listening this song, reminds me childhood and I will never forget this song ...
I hope when the LORD comes back that it'll be like it's never been before.... I won't even think about when i walked in the good ole' days any longer.... there'll be a whole new field to walk in....and with Him☝️
This song is truly a time capsule. It captures the feeling of reminiscing about past events, people, places, etc. Great, sensitive song, one of the best of the past 40 years. Thanks, Sting.
When I was growing up this song and album it was on used to be played a lot by my mum. My mum used to say if she ever died she would like this song played at her funeral. Well last April she passed away and this got played at the beginning of her cremation service. I think if she was listening she would of been happy with that. Just thought I'd share that with you all on here.
Как только я услышал эту песню в сериале "Офис", так сразу же полез в интернет искать её... Она прекрасна. Столько воспоминаний всплывает в голове: первая любовь, школа, поцелуи и объятья... А эти проигрыши после стихов - просто космос... Эх, если бы можно было всё вернуть...
Живу в России, но не понимая английского, понимаю чувства ваших песен, может, по-своему. Но они искренние дают подумать о своем и осмыслить прошлое, подумать о будущем. Спасибо вам🙏🌹

As a young farm boy back in 1959, I recall sitting with my soon to be wife, the love of my life, and watching the wheat wave in the breeze as we dreamed of our future. I lost her to cancer in 1996. This song always brings a tear to my eye. Beautiful bright brown eyes with dark, soft, long hair and very intelligent lady. So dearly missed and so lovingly remembered. Love this song.
I'm very sorry for your loss, and I appreciate you sharing this beautiful memory.
So Sorry to hear of your loss, Cancer has ravaged many a family. I'm sure your wife was larger than life, so it must follow that she will always be with you.
It's funny how songs meanings change as we grow older. I aways seem to appreciate them more.
I am so sorry for your lose this story just shows how much music means so much to us especially older generations, nowadays music has zero meaning.
Music can be felt beyond words. What a beautiful memory. Sounds like your beloved is still very much with you.
My brother died on Friday.
He loved sting.
Stings words.. "you'll remember me"
Thats enough.
I'll play it at his funeral and keep his spirit with me forever.
My heart breaks for you…you will be in my prayers Jonathan😢❤
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
Rest in peace to your brother. I'm sorry for your loss. He is watching over you now. Calling all angels. He is your angel now brother. 😢❤
Perhaps they are not the starts . But rather openings In the heavens where the love of our lost ones pours through. And shines down upon us . To let us know they are happy .
Sending hugs and prayers.
My whole family was alive when this song came out, what beautiful memories, I will forever miss this whole magical era.
😭
❤
I'm with you brother
I used to drive my son to school on my bike, both of us singing this song in our imperfect English. I remember thinking, please God, make this moment last for ever.
That's beautiful my friend
respect!
God bless you both
That made me cry Gustavo.Very beautiful.
Awe ^_^
I‘m a 24 old, Not Many at my Age know and listen to this song, I can‘t describe what this song means to me, sometimes I can‘t handle that much beautiness and tears come into my eyes. I Love this Song - this era of music seems so emotional to me. Must have been a stunning time to be young.
Thank you Sting for this masterpiece.

Sorry for your loss.
My husband died 3 weeks ago in a car accident. This was one of the songs included in our wedding video. I miss him terribly.
Sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry for your loss.
All my condolences 💗😔
Sorry for your loss! Its hard enough when someone passes naturally but when you do not expect it its so much worse. My brother committed suicide in a solo car crash September 2 two years ago. Its very difficult I mean I am at the anger stage of grief. But I am also upset that I can never ask him any questions. It may sound odd to some but its just how I feel right now.. Again Im sorry for your loss
Jonathan Winfield I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your story. Suicide is a hard one to process. I won’t say I understand why you’re going through, because no one understands what any of use is going through. Grief is a very hard thing to process and we will go through many stages of it. For instance, Even though my husband’s death baffled investigators and we suspect that he may have suffered a stroke or seizure on the road (he had a concussion 2 days before)... I still felt very angry toward him for a while. I told him to go get check after the concussion but he staunchly refused. We also have 2 little ones under the age of 4 and one on the way. This lasted about 2 weeks and I am now in the acceptance stage and just going over everything we built together.
Paul McCartney once said this was the song he wished he had written. Achingly beautiful.
I read that as well
I had never heard this, very cool.
Well for Paul McCartney to say something like this about a song from another musician, that sure is an honor.
Paul also said he wished he’d written “God Only Knows” by Brian Wilson and “Beautiful Boy” by Lennon.
I agree
This song brings tears to my eyes. My wife had cancer and listened to this song all the time coz our daughter sang it for her. She’s now 16 years in remission and I thank the lord, my life could have been so different having to bring our daughter up by myself. They are extremely close now. ❤️❤️
That's a beautiful song for you all god bless you and Keep strong always 👍
God bless you all my friend and always keep pushing.
The remission probably had more to do with science and the skill of doctors than a Lord.
@@Dave-un7fh I don’t care if it was science or The Lord I’ll still thank the lord coz it gives me comfort.
God bless you
This is not a song. It is a moment in time that last forever.
A moment that will last forever as long the generations that remember this song are alive. Millennials will remember this song, but what about future generations?
@@ildart8738Some millenial might one day make a hit movie and use it as a soundtrack. And the cycle might repeat with future generations.Just look at what happened to Running up that hill .
It has the ability to take each of us to that special person and place in time gone now but forever in our hearts and minds
Magic
@condurachesorin Well that's debatable, because Placebo did a cover of Kate Bush's "Running Up This Hill" and went further with their version then she ever did on her own until the "Stranger Things" show. Most people thought Placebo were the original recording artist.
@@CarpeNoctem0917 It happenes to a lot of songs. Heck, when I was kid I thought that The Man who sold the world was a Nirvana original. It took Metal Gear Solid for me to start going down that rabbit hole. Same thing could happen to someone in the future with Fields of Gold.
Played this for my Dad multiple times the past few days as he was dying. It was a favourite of his that he would often be humming to himself. Always said it reminded him of his younger days growing up in Aberdeenshire, Scotland a part of the world with seas of gold barley in the summer months. I will always miss you Dad but I will always remember you through this song. Sleep tight.
😢Thank for sharing. It’s a beautiful song…
I'm sorry about your loss 😢. My dad died 4 years ago and he was from Aberdeenshire too. These songs remind me of him. I wish I could be with him. We would listen to songs on the radio and we would sing them together.
I asked an AI what modern music the people of ancient Greece would appreciate and it sent me here. I'm not even kidding lol
Pois
Waww😊
Does anyone ever have that feeling of hearing just such a great song that it makes them just have a tingly feeling inside? Like it sorta feels like crying, except you aren't? That's what this song makes me feel.
This song just has that unique feeling of hearing it in the past. Just sort of a sentimental feeling.
I do :) makes me think of the good old times :))) carefree... and not one loved one less :(((
The first time I heard this song was like 3 months ago, when my dad was driving me home from South Dakota. It was at night, and while we listened, it was totally silent as we looked at the lights of the city. Great experience.
While listening to "More than a feeling" I'm literaly crying.
While listening to "More than a feeling" I'm literaly crying.
I don't think Sting realizes just how beautiful this song is.
im curious why??
@@marionleigh7050 Because of the way he reacted once when it was mentioned to him. Can't remember where and when, but he seemed to think it was just another song and wanted to move on. Then too, he may have just wanted to be humble.
@@jamessullivan6583 It's a meh song when you hear Sting perform it. But, listen to a Celtic or Welsh cover of it and feel your hairs stand on end.
@@matthewmchenry2889 Well, I certainly respect your opinion, but I like the way Sting sings it. And I will also listen to the way the Celts sing it, given the opportunity.
@@matthewmchenry2889 Just listened to Celtic woman sing it, and you are right. She sings it really beautiful. But I still prefer Sting's version.
One of the best songs ever.
Hello Dana, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
It's not a song. It's magic.
I agree
Nah it actually is a song if you listen closely
It's a magical song.
Its beautiful, I feel like I'm flying when I hear this. So, yes its magical
Oh yesss it is
The older you get the more you appreciate this song.
We are all but the victim of time.

I'm a 53 year old, shaven headed, gym going, van driving builder, but I can't listen to more than a couple of lines of this song without welling up,
It just reminds me of warm summer evenings walking with all the dogs I have ever owned, loved and lost.
I'm not a spiritual person , and in my mind when you die , the lights go out and that's your lot, but if I'm wrong I hope that if just even for one evening I can have them all back together at one time , and we might walk in fields of gold .

This song brings memories of me being with my grandad in his car, he loved this song and spoke about it often. It was played at his funeral last week
It sounds like your grandad was one awesome person with a good taste in music. RIP

Your grandfather is walking amongst these fields... Sending condolences and prayers...🙏
My grandmother passed away 3 weeks ago as well. This song helps to stay grounded. May your granddad be at peace.
Sad to know that
Today is my dad's funeral, this was his favorite song listening to it i feel like he's right here with me. Tomorrow is my second son birthday trying to be strong so he could have a happy day. This song helps.
Happy Birthday to your son and all the best for you and your family 🙂

Of his entire career, I think this is Sting’s absolute best.
My father used to play this song a lot when I was in Kindergarten and Elementary School. It gave him a lot of comfort because he was still grieving the loss of my paternal grandfather (his father) more than 10 years after his death. A drunk driver that was drag racing killed my Pop-Pop back in 1978. Now my own father is up there with him. Rest in peace. Both of you.
❤
There are certain 90’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
Yes 😭✨
which one‘s still?
I agree. Also, I deeply thank you for being one of those who STILL knows how to write.
Man... exactly the same.And the best part? I wasn’t even born in the 90’s. Somehow I feel nostalgic about a time period that I never experienced. Dreaming of how my life would be...
This song and Breathe’s Hands in Heaven and How Can I Fall.
before i got married , i had listened to this song, imagining a wife and 2 kids in the beautiful fields. now 25 years later , i have a wife and 2 kids . we have also travelled the world. Thank God. The power of positive affirmation
Fantastic mate.
That sounds wonderful.
Cantik
i wish i could find the women that i stay with forever and have kids im 28 all my friends have girlfriends and kids and im alone this makes me sad :(
@@Parkerlee1000 Reach out and be willing to use the tools of the modern age and you'll find someone. =) Might not be the first person you meet but persistence and a bit of effort on improving yourself along the way will make it worthwhile. Good luck to you stranger.

My condolences, David. 💛🙏🏻💛 My heart goes out to you.

May we all meet again in Heaven.
A GREAT song to be remembered by. God bless you and your kids.
Your Father will always be with you David...he is not far away now!!!
My uncle drowned in a river two days ago. He made a video with my pictures for my birthday when I turned 10 with this song, now I need to make a video for his funeral, I never thought that this song will be used like this. He was so kind, so sweet, so smart, he loved this life, he wanted to do so many things. Let him forever walk in the fields of gold. I didn’t tell you how much I love you. I miss you so much. I don’t know how I’m going to live without you.
So Sorry for your great loss of your Uncle ! Grief is the last act of love we have to give to those we loved ! Where there is deep grief there was great love ❤ Take Care Friend
Crying with you!!!
I'm so sorry for your loss 😒 life is so fragile
He will be waiting for you in the other side! In the real fields of gold!
I am so sorry for your loss. What a beautiful tribute to your uncle. He is smiling down to you from heaven. His love will live on forever in your heart. God bless. 🙏🏻🕊️
If you're happy the song makes you happier. If you're sad, the song is sad with you together.
Te acompaña! Es su poder💞
So true
Absolutely true. I totally agree.
I miss the days where artists sat and thought about lyrics. Lyrics with meaning and not just words. This is beautiful genius poetry! ❤️😥
Shut up, WAP is on a par with Shakespeare's best prose.
But Steven, the true miracles in music (not least with something like Duran Duran's "Ordinary World") come when they don't really sit and think too much, but allow the Holy Spirit to take their own talents to a higher and deeper and fuller level. Now let's be clear, nobody denies that these works are by the artists and from their souls, but those souls draw on the Spirit - now as in Biblical times, and again and again it happens that other people (e.g. myself) can see TRANSPARENTLY the depth of what has been produced, even as the makers are not always fully able to do so. You know that "Ordinary World" includes the lyrics: talking softly / lights / ghost / life / cry / survive / Passion / Pride / Cross / heart / my friend / gone away / suffering and greed / Fear / holy war and holy need / sorrow? Most reasonable people looking on would say that is not a religiously-neutral set of words, but who knows if the band even realise that? They themselves thought they were writing a melancholy commemorative song, yet many who hear it feel a kind of inspiring ectasy. The same with "Fields of Gold"... Many, many times we hear artists mumble semi-embarrassedly that "it just kind of came to me". This is all the more true of Brits, for whom self-deprecating embarrassment is a national sport. Of course, all that religious stuff is supposedly a bit too deep for Brits, so they force themselves into loudly-declared atheism again and again. That is probably why the Paraclete - who certainly has Its/His more-playful side - again and again helps Brits to produce divinely-inspired and divinely-inspiring creativity - Ralph Vaughan Williams, The Beatles, Shakespeare, Keane, Elbow, Coldplay, Richard Curtis, Adam Curtis, Sting, and so on (and on) (and on)...
@@sidpheasant7585 are you high?
@@crimson6658 No. But I'm not low in any way either. I feel as I feel without the aid of chemicals (except the ones my own body produces of course). I am a scientist and know quite a bit about scientific truth regarding the world and the universe. But like any TRUE scientist (unblinkered), I am on the look out for the (few but not zero) things going on around us that do not add up in line with conventional explanations. I go where the evidence takes me, and am thus interested in the impact certain songs or other pieces of music have on people. I had a religious encounter that was very closely similar to what is described in The Bible in regard to the Holy Spirit, and intriguingly that was not a very dreamlike experience, but really quiet tangible, if of course wonderful. I can't fully explain it, but know it happened and do not dismiss it - all the more so as it has definitely changed the way I see things ... in the direction of "seeing" more. It makes me so happy, and leaves me feeling so connected and in awe, that I actually panic and feel fearful over the prospect that I might return to what I was like before. So thanks for asking, Crimson - and I have no idea whether you got the answer you wanted or not. But bless you anyway!
@@sidpheasant7585 you should be a comedian, you're hilarious

You just may.......
Sorry for your loss mate. Though what a blessing it is to have had an amazing old man, nothing beats that in this world.
I’m so sorry for your loss, my friend. I know what it’s like to lose your father. I lost mine 3 years ago. My father also used to play Sting’s music for us kids. Hang on to those memories. They will give you comfort for the rest of your life if you let ‘em.

'Fields of Gold' is that song that whenever you hear it playing anywhere, your mind, heart, and soul instantly reset to it and you believe it to be the most breathtakingly beautiful song ever made.
You just described his song “Fragile”
I agree
Agreed from Sri Lanka.
Gladiator.
It definitely defuses the fight or flight response, that's for sure. Fields of Gold, the master of the parasympathetic nervous system.
Listening to this song just make u feel at peace❤
I remember my friend. May she be walking in fields of gold…
A precious soul and deeply missed.
Please reach out to anyone feeling lost/alone/lonely/isolated…it’s the little things that can make all the difference.
Keep going ❤ you are loved x

This song never gets old. No matter how much I listen, I never get bored.
Eu também sou louca nela,e Me Faz tão bem❤

Favorite forever
According to Sting, he got inspired to write this song after he bought a 16th-century manor house, which was surrounded by fields of barley. During the Summer the wind would blow over the shimmering surface of barley, and it just looked like a sea of gold.
This is such a beautiful song with such beautiful lyrics.
Sensational imagery for inspiration.
I love love this, my husband passed 41 years ago..I was 32. He was the love of my life. We did walk on fields of Gold for 11 years. When my time comes, I will have this at my service. Sting is amazing and so is the version from Celtic Womam.
Watch Eva Cassidy's version . It brought Sting to tears 💕💕💕
Certainly aided by the fact he was a newly married man at the time.
This wasnt written by sting

lyrics
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze a while
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me?
Will you be my love?
Upon the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold

Muchas gracias ☺️.
Beautiful lyrics, brings back sweet times when my beloved was still walking beside me. Only Sting can relay a long gone gentler time with his mellow tones.

Probably one of the most beautiful songs ever written. I think of all my loved ones who have passed every time I hear this. Sometimes I can't even listen to it - too painful
Shape of my heart possibly the most poetic the man is a songwriting genius.
It reminds me of the man who was my soulmate. He sadly died 13 years ago
i agree to this testament, etherial indeed
@@ddoherty5956 Yes, another great song. Did you ever see the episode of Hustle where Shape of my heart was used? It fit perfectly.
Same here...😢
This is one of those songs that never go out of style regardless of its age. It still sounds endearing today as it did when it was released back in 1993.
Masterpiece.
Knowing Sting's history, this song brings tears to my eyes. He sings about a deep love, for wife, for children, something eternal, from his own experience, something he lost that ought never be lost. I keep switching between this and Fortress Around Your Heart, feeling the profound loss, and how I win or lose my own family every moment depending on whether or not I'm connected to my deep heart which enables me to love and see others and be present for them. Every moment, we give ourselves and those around us either Heaven or Hell, Life or Death, we're either building fortresses of fear and protection or building bridges to fields of gold.
Also sang about stalking 👀
so true so beautiful
What a painfully true and profound, beautiful comment, @Josiah B. 🙏🏼❤️
I've always interpreted it as Sting immortalizing the mortal. A lot of things have changed since he fell in love in the "fields of barley, fields of gold" but its a place that will always symbolize that love. People visit it, they have children of their own and then they pass, but the fields remain forever.
@@inessa5923 I love this comment. I believe we're all called to become worthy of immortality. Most of the world will tell you perfection is not possible, I choose not to believe that and strive to see my path there and follow it, and also to see a spark of the perfect in each person and fan that spark.
A volunteer guitarist at a hospital was playing this song outside our room when our son was born.
very touching indeed.
cool story!
That's PRECIOUS.
This song never fails to bring a lump to the throat and a hint of a tear in the eye. One of the most beautiful and haunting songs done by anyone. As I write this - the sun is setting over the beach near home as my two children laugh happily in the other room after a lovely family day. I wish I could freeze this moment in time. Sting's finest moment as a solo artist.
How blessed are you?
We have all had those moments. Now my children are grown and gone and I am a widow. I miss being a young mother, wife and my two little boys. My life was so full and it was over way too fast. Now, I am just the old lady who lives down the street.
Thanks for those beautiful words .
@@donnaemerson3313 I know what you mean Donna. My life was so great, a lovely wife, 2 wonderful children. Now they are all grown and gone. It seems like my whole life went by in a flash. I tell my younger friends and co-worker who have young families to enjoy that time of their lives as it will go away too soon. If I had a time machine, I'd go back to when my kids were 2 and 3 years old. That was the best time of my life.
I sincerely hope Donna and Ejaz find a way to meet. I'm in the same boat, but Ejaz is truly much more eloquent than I. ;)
This was played at a good friend's funeral this week .She loved the outdoors and worked as a scientist developing cereals mainly wheat but still ' Fields of Gold .'It is such a beautiful song .I will miss her so much 😢
Hello Anne, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
I'm a 30 years old women. It's normally not my kind of music. But always when I hear this song, I close my eyes wherever I am and just listen. I dont cry in the beginning but when it comes to 2:13 the background music hits me right in my face and I can't hide my tears.
Don't know why..
I love this song.❤️
"nedenini bilmiyorum" deyince aklıma Türk şairi Melih Cevdet Anday'ın Fotoğraf isimli şiiri geldi. Diyordu ki...
Dört kişi parkta çektirmişiz,
Ben, Orhan, Oktay, bir de Şinasi...
Anlaşılan sonbahar
Kimimiz paltolu, kimimiz ceketli
Yapraksız arkamızdaki ağaçlar...
Babası daha ölmemiş Oktay'ın,
Ben bıyıksızım,
Orhan, Süleyman efendiyi tanımamış.
Ama ben hiç böyle mahzun olmadım;
Ölümü hatırlatan ne var bu resimde?
Oysa hayattayız hepimiz.
My dad asked about the lyrics of this song so I bought him the cd. It was the last gift I gave him as he passed away not long after. Now I always think of him when I hear this song.
❤🕊⚘
God bless him ...

♥️⚘
war13death a sweet love...,
This song is in the past tense. I think it's about a partner, lover, spouse who passes away or is near passing away and wants them to remember the times they had together. Through the good and bad, their love is unbreakable and he'll wait for them on the other side, to walk in Fields of Gold once again.
Great thought.
Joe R based on my analysi, the singer is the one who have died. he's the husband his wife's lying with back then among the fields of barley. he's singing through space and time to remind his beloved one about him and to tell her she would remember him all the time when similiar events happens again in the days to come. you can relate it the most if youre an elderly woman who have lost your husband, trust me. this is beautiful and Sting was a songwriter genius.
It is about a death
When asked which song of his contemporaries he wished he had written, Paul McCartney mentioned Fields of Gold..
If you’re not sensitive, this song will make you sensitive.
I’m extra sensitive and crying my eyes out.
I was cleaning my house and this song came on the radio😢
I had to take a minute and enjoy and let go all my emotions.
Thank you Sting for this masterpiece 🙏❤
Listen... I am inconsolable right now
❤
I think so many simply did not understand this song.
It’s about couple meeting, romance, “i never made promises lightly, and there have been some that I’ve broken” marriage vow, having children, and “Tell the sun in his jealous sky” is when she dies, and is in heaven.
Fields of Gold is of course Fields of Wheat around Barley.
In the end it truly is a masterpiece. A very beautiful short tale of life, romance and ending.
Thanks for the insight, you're right
I think you're right to say many don't understand this song. Your interpretation was very insightful and for sure from now one I'm gonna look at this song differently.
And to think of it.... The sky is said to be jealous because he actually died (since it says "YOU'LL remember me.... You can tell the sun in its jealous sky that we walked it fields of gold"
Towards the end it said "see the children run as the sun goes down..." implying that they got married and had children of their own.
Wrong. Its about whatever I want it to be about, thats art.
@@glennross85 wrong? Sting wrote the track after he bought a house near a barley field. The sunsets and the colours of the field helped inspired the lyrics, along with his love for wife Trudie Styler, whom he married in 1992.
Fields of gold because the wheat/barley fields take on that color as they reflect the sun at a certain time of the day

Fields Of Gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in the fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in the fields of gold
We'll walk in the fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold

Had just left hospital visiting our Mom, who was dying of cancer in spring ‘93. This song came on and my sister broke down weeping. Sad memory but it is treasured. Hauntingly beautiful song.
Those are the treasures we take with us....sharing them while we can, extends their memories beyond us.
We Always Have the Future… But Our Memories are What Make Us
❤️
@@jamesgannon6192 thanks for that!
This song inspired me to learn English on my own. I craved to know what Sting sings about and to know what story stays behind this wonderful song. It brings back bittersweet memories, various moments of my life.
i still like the video very much,the two lives in one, they seem the past or not lived future, but in reality it all happens at the same time, but our brain just creates the divine order to feel them again..great song with it.. thanks for your voice and intent Sting.
One of my absolute favorites! Such poetic beauty! Thank you, Sting, for this timeless masterpiece. ❤
Me and my wife just had our wedding today, requested this as our song we danced too at our reception, had me tearing up, God bless you Sting.
congratulations on your wedding! :)
My wife and I renewed our vows on our 25th anniversary (2009). This was the song we played at the reception. We were in Germany in 1992. One summer day we picniced on the side of a hill overlooking a wheat field. We were fascinated by the winds movement on the ripe wheat. It was a special day for us. The first time we heard "Fields of Gold" in 1993 it became "Our song," and it has been ever since.
Logan, I pray you and your new wife will find the happiness that we have had these past 32 years. God bless you both.
I envy you, my friend. May your love grow.
50% of marriages end in divorce but good luck
Logan Clark congratulations, you both obviously have taste!
Nostalgia of the good old days
It was February 12, 1995. I was sitting on a couch at a party when she came in and walked around the corner. Knew it right then. I worked part time at a skating rink and I would put this song on for couple's skate as my mind was filled with thoughts of her. Almost 25 years together, married for 17 with three kids....still f'ing crazy about her. I need to go to bed now and cuddle up.
Lucky man your day dreams came true!!! Thanks for sharing your beautiful story. Enjoy!
Remember she’s never truly yours, it’s just your turn
The Heathen Beautiful man, the cuddling up bit ❤️🙏🏻
Ayyyyye bro thats fire
Wow!
this song gives me depression and cures it at the same time
Luke Man true that
the same as me!
👍🏻
Goosebumps man.

"In England, our house is surrounded by barley fields, and in the summer it's fascinating to watch the wind moving over the shimmering surface, like waves on an ocean of gold. There's something inherently sexy about the sight, something primal, as if the wind were making love to the barley. Lovers have made promises here, I'm sure, their bonds strengthened by the comforting cycle of the seasons." - Sting on writing this song.
That was a lovely thing to share. Thanks for taking me there. Peace.
Words from Sting that keep me a fan of his music. I have often reflected on relationships with women to Sting and the Police.
Richie Beck thanks for that.
I was listening when I read your comment. This song always transports me 25 years back to fields in the Cotswald. On vacation, soon after we were married, I don't know what the fields were on a sunny day when my wife and I found ourselves in fields there, maybe mustard, rapeseed? I don't know. It was BRIGHT yellow and the wind moved it. And I always think of it, see it, feel it. An eternal moment.
And here I go as a non-native speaker thinking it's about a holiday romance in Indonesia because I always understood "Fields of Bali"...
Such a powerful song that brings back many fond memories within our lifetime. Sadly, time waits for nobody and we're only on earth temporary, so cherish every day like its your last...
Well said.........Exactly my sentiment...exactly...🙏
This was the soundtrack of a teenage love summer. It immediately takes me back to that moment and how I felt. That pit in your stomach that is surrounded by happiness, simplicity and innocence. That's what "Fields of Gold" is for me.
Happiness, simplicity and innocence. This is the best description of the feelings related to this song I ever read. Thank You
When I was child, I listened this almoust every day on radio. Now, I'm still listening this song, reminds me childhood and I will never forget this song ...
you are so cool listening to this :)
I love to hear this in vacation fantastic memories for me :)
Peter Pan Thank you :)
My dad showed me this song and it helped me a lot!
Same here
My daughter chose this for our father, daughter dance at her wedding last weekend. It was a song I played for her as a child. I cried like a baby.
❤❤❤❤❤
That is a beautiful sentiment
Beautiful!!
I hope when the LORD comes back that it'll be like it's never been before.... I won't even think about when i walked in the good ole' days any longer.... there'll be a whole new field to walk in....and with Him☝️
we played this at my dad‘s funeral today. One of his favorites. Sleep tight Papps. ❤
Praying for your healing. ❤
Love you!!!
This was the song played at my dad's funeral as well, it was one of his faves..
😔
I am so sorry for your loss
This song is truly a time capsule. It captures the feeling of reminiscing about past events, people, places, etc. Great, sensitive song, one of the best of the past 40 years. Thanks, Sting.
Your whole life in a song called Fields of Gold. Such a sad and peaceful emotion.
Quando ouço essa música me da sensações de perdas e saudades mais é gostosa de sentir ❤
When I was growing up this song and album it was on used to be played a lot by my mum. My mum used to say if she ever died she would like this song played at her funeral. Well last April she passed away and this got played at the beginning of her cremation service. I think if she was listening she would of been happy with that. Just thought I'd share that with you all on here.
Elizabeth Spinks thank you for sharing. God bless you!
Elizabeth Spinks thank you for sharing...my deepest condolences.be strong my friend
feel you. same here. alongside to beethovens moonlight sonata
this comment made me cry
Elizabeth Spinks I’m so sorry
Как только я услышал эту песню в сериале "Офис", так сразу же полез в интернет искать её... Она прекрасна. Столько воспоминаний всплывает в голове: первая любовь, школа, поцелуи и объятья... А эти проигрыши после стихов - просто космос... Эх, если бы можно было всё вернуть...
Sting always produces wonderful songs. This is one of his most memorable.
Какое же наслаждение получаешь от этой композиции Стинга !!! ❤❤❤
Живу в России, но не понимая английского, понимаю чувства ваших песен, может, по-своему. Но они искренние дают подумать о своем и осмыслить прошлое, подумать о будущем. Спасибо вам🙏🌹
Такими песни и должны быть )
Я тоже не понимаю английского.) НО СТИНГ мне нравится всю жизнь.)
