I think that this song, "Thousand Years" and "Desert rose" could become a trilogy of stories about a man who is trying to escape from reality, dreaming of exotic countries and missing someone he has lost. A painful longing for love and beauty is combined with the image of the desert, reminiscent of a lonely human soul, ancient legends and ethnic motifs. I really adore this songs.
Мною Поважний Сер Стінг,я як і раніше слухаю Ваші пісні й зараз,й ще раз хочу подякувати Великій Британії за підтримку моєї України,разом переможемо,дякую!Бачите шановні я постійно пишу комент тому що Стінга слухаю дуже,дуже давно,Бажаю Всім Людяним Людям Здоровья!Й Ще раз дякую за підтримку!
Sting always. Gentlemen who knows what is charming and intelligent poetry. His words are the life we are all living. Unforgettable lyrics, gentle but powerful music. Love them.
Sting on “Mad About You”: It’s inspired by the story of King David and Bathsheba. These stories of murder and obsessive, jealous love appeal to me for some reason. Yes, those lines “There are no victories / In all our histories / Without love” have the quintessential Sting idea that romantic love outweighs global issues. I really believe that. Love is continuity of the species, it’s the most important thing. That’s why love songs are immortal. A political song will be dated within a year. It took me a long time to learn that." Glory to God.
we feel aimless and lost until we find love, I tell you this after 50 years of life, you're only alive when you're in love. Other things will hopefully give you purpose., but love is the only one that will ALWAYS give you a reason to get up in the morning
A stone's throw from Jerusalem I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight And though a million stars were shining My heart was lost on a distant planet That whirls around the April moon Whirling in an arc of sadness I'm lost without you, I'm lost without you Though all my kingdoms turn to sand and fall into the sea I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you And from the dark secluded valleys I heard the ancient songs of sadness But every step I thought of you Every footstep only you Every star a grain of sand The leavings of a dried up ocean Tell me, how much longer, How much longer? They say a city in the desert lies The vanity of an ancient king But the city lies in broken pieces Where the wind howls and the vultures sing These are the works of man This is the sum of our ambition It would make a prison of my life If you became another's wife With every prison blown to dust My enemies walk free I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you And I have never in my life Felt more alone than I do now Although I claim dominions over all I see It means nothing to me There are no victories In all our histories Without love A stone's throw from Jerusalem I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight And though a million stars were shining My heart was lost on a distant planet That whirls around the April moon Whirling in an arc of sadness I'm lost without you, I'm lost without you And though you hold the keys to ruin of everything I see With every prison blown to dust my enemies walk free Though all my kingdoms turn to sand and fall into the sea I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you
The Soul Cages is an amazing album, which kept me company in a very challenging period of my life. I was 17 when it was released, and very confused, and one of the (few) anchors of my life was music like this. Thank you
Me too i was almost 18, when this album came out. Always been a Sting fan. Listened all songs of "soul cages" so many times, but some songs are slow and boring, ie. island of souls, wild sea, angels fall. Jeremiah Blues kinda out of place here it sounds like it belongs to the Dream of the BT more than to this album
@@provatos yes, these 3 'slow' songs make the album a synthesis, after all Soul Cages is a concept album. But compared with the previous 2 solo albums of Sting, Soul Cages has 5 strong songs, and 4 weak songs (fillers). While 'Nothing Like the Sun' has all good and energic songs, 11 tracks (1 is a cover of Hendrix little wing)
Can I tell you something funny? Every time it snows in Jerusalem , the DJ s on Israeli radio play this song, thinking it says " there was snow in Jerusalem "!
Beautiful musica. Куб, что(всё хорошее) это хорошо(рай) спасено и сохранено, кто(Бог, все хорошие) здорово и вечно уже здесь и сейчас спасены и сохранены, мир вечен, мера безопасная, любовь красивая, жизнь счастливая.
Sting is the type of artist that once you hear his beautiful voice, you fall in love with it. The music and lyrics in all his songs are genius. Sting will forever stay in my heart.❤❤
The line is a bit too cliche and rosy to be poetry exactly, and it is simply incorrect and even naive. Perhaps Sting should read some actual history, for he'd find it to be rather more complex, and far less pretty at that. that being said however, I suppose the line works for the song. Which is indeed a pretty song.
England, Danmark, France and Germany where the highest poetic countys once. Where are alle the Philosophie and Poetry gone. Everybody wants a Yoga Diplom to know nothing from nothing. Yes i am another supertramp
My husband worked in Jeddah ( Saudi Arabia) for 2 years and when I went out to visit him we used to travel around in the car and I remember sand dunes like those, oases and camels ! It’s also VERY cold in the desert at night and the stars are VERY clear !
The music at the beginning of this song reminds me of something else but I can't quite put my finger on it. Like and early 2000's rnb/pop hit. Perhaps its that, that gives this song a timeless quality.
Yo escuchaba el album "the soul cages" cuando tenía 14 años, y esta canción era una de mis favoritas. En ese tiempo yo tenía un amor platónico y con esta canción lo recuerdo...
@@nicolekubeckathis song is a masterpiece. Totally incredible and breath taking. I have never been such a big fan of desert rose. It is a good song but I am not so much into that kind of music. “Englishman in new york is my favourite” i also love all the songs of the police (especially every breath you take and so lonely and message in a bottle ) but god sting never wrote a single bad song. ( even tho as i said i didnt like desert rose that much or his album “sacred love” not because they would be bad but because i don’t like that sort of music) but the jazz and rock and raggae that he combines is so amazing. He is on of the gems of this world. 💜
@@nicolekubecka yes. He is amazing! What a pitty the great music became quite underrated now. The new generations including mine don’t appreciate the good old music. Maybe that’s also because the music released nowadays isn’t what it used to be. I hope one day, the 80’s music will revive.
@@twilightolga8958 I m 16 and I prefer this kind of music to any other 😄 But I know that most people from my generation don't appreciate its magic, which is sad.

MAD ABOUT YOU (русский перевод) - my favorite singer! Камни иерусалимских стен... Я прошёл путь один... только лунный плен... И хотя было светло в звёздном свете, Моё сердце потерялось на дальней планете... Той, что вращается вокруг апрельской Луны По орбите печали и судьбы... Я потерян без тебя... Мне плохо без тебя... Пусть все мои королевства Как песок смыла волна... Мне больно без тебя... Я без тебя схожу с ума... И из тёмных одиноких долин Я услышал печали крик... И каждый миг я думал о тебе, Каждый шаг был только для тебя... И эти звёзды - частицы песка, От океана осталась река... Скажи сколько ещё ждать? Сколько страдать?? Говорят, что в пустыне есть город - Память величия древнего короля... Этот город лежит в руинах, И над ним кружатся мёртвые ветра... И кружат над ним чёрные птицы - Это всё итог наших амбиций... Моя жизнь была бы тюрьмой, Если бы ты стала чьей-то женой... Как песок разрушает оковы Мои враги свободны снова... Мне плохо без тебя... Я без тебя схожу с ума... Никогда прежде в моей жизни Я не был так одинок, как сейчас... Пусть я владею всем, что вижу,- Это ничего не значит для меня... Все мои победы - только твои В нашей истории нет побед - без любви... Камни иерусалимских стен... Я прошел всё один и только лунный плен, И хотя было светло в звёздном свете, Моё сердце потерялось на дальней планете... Той, что вращается вокруг апрельской Луны По орбите печали и судьбы... Я потерян без тебя... Мне так больно без тебя... И хотя ты держишь ключи От моей раненой души... И можешь разрушить оковы, Но мои враги стали свободны снова... Знаешь, все мои города Как песок смыла волна... Мне плохо без тебя... Я без тебя схожу с ума...
(Translation from English into Russ.) Из-за тебя рассудок теряю Недалеко от Иерусалима Я прошел при лунном свете милю. И хотя миллион звезд на небе было, Моё сердце на далёкой планете заблудилось, Которая вращается там, где видна апрельская луна. В секторе печали вращается она. Я заблудился без тебя. Я блуждаю. И хотя всё моё царство может в песок превратиться И в море кануть, Я из-за тебя рассудок теряю. Из-за тебя рассудок теряю. Из темноты уединённых долин Доносится песня - древняя и печальная. Я с каждым шагом о тебе вспоминаю. Каждый мой шаг - это ты. Каждая звезда, каждая песчинка… . Там, где ступаю - Высохший океан барханами струится… Ты мне скажи, сколько ещё так будет длиться, Сколько ещё так жить? Говорят, город в пустыне лежит. Там, где лишь ветер воет да орел кричит. Этот город - результат тщеславия древнего властелина. Это - творение человека и нагромождение амбиций. Знаешь, он может оказаться моей темницей, Если ты будешь женой другого. Мои враги свободу снова обретают, А я из-за тебя рассудок теряю. Из-за тебя рассудок теряю. Сегодня я себя одиноким ощутил. И хотя я провозгласил, Что владею всем тем, что меня окружает, Это ничего не означает. Ведь что ни говори, Не бывало виктории⃰ во всей нашей Истории Без любви. Недалеко от Иерусалима Я прошел при лунном свете милю. И хотя миллион звезд на небе было, Моё сердце на далёкой планете заблудилось, Которая вращается там, где видна апрельская луна. В секторе печали вращается она. Я заблудился без тебя. Я блуждаю. И хотя всё моё царство может в песок превратиться И в море кануть, Я из-за тебя рассудок теряю. Из-за тебя рассудок теряю. Моё царство может в песок превратиться И в море кануть. Мои враги - свободу обретают. И хотя в твоей власти разрушить всё, чем я обладаю, Я из-за тебя рассудок теряю. Из-за тебя рассудок теряю. (Translated by V. Gorkovenko. Poltava.)
Mad about You - lyrics ❀ ( • Sting ) : A stone's throw from Jerusalem, I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight. And though a million stars were shining, My heart was lost on a distant planet That whirls around the April moon, Whirling in an arc of sadness. I'm lost without you. I'm lost without you. Though all my kingdoms turn to sand And fall into the sea, I'm mad about you. I'm mad about you. And from the dark secluded valleys I heard the ancient songs of sadness. But every step I thought of you, Every footstep only you, And every star, a grain of sand, The leavings of a dried up ocean. Tell me how much longer? How much longer? They say a city in the desert lies - The vanity of an ancient king. But the city lies in broken pieces Where the wind howls and the vultures sing. These are the works of man, This is the sum of our ambition. It would make a prison of my life, If you became another's wife. With every prison blown to dust My enemies walk free. I'm mad about you. I'm mad about you. And I have never in my life Felt more alone than I do now. Although I claim dominions over all I see, It means nothing to me. There are no victories In all our histories Without love. A stone's throw from Jerusalem, I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight. And though a million stars were shining, My heart was lost on a distant planet That whirls around the April moon, Whirling in an arc of sadness. I'm lost without you. I'm lost without you. And though you hold the keys to ruin Of everything I see, With every prison blown to dust My enemies walk free. Though all my kingdoms turn to sand And fall into the sea, I'm mad about you. I'm mad about you.
And I have never in my life felt more alone than I do now, although I claim dominions over all I see it means nothing to me, there are no victories in all our histories without love...
This song depicts the biblical story of King David and Batsheba (2 Samuel 11, 12; 1 Kings 1, 2). Bathsheba was the wife of Uriah the Hittite (an elite soldier in the army of David). A beautiful woman, she became pregnant after David saw her bathing on a rooftop and had her brought to him. David then ordered that Uriah be moved to the front-line of a battle, where he was killed. David married the widowed Bathsheba, but their first child died as punishment from God for David’s adultery and murder of Uriah. David repented of his sins, and Bathsheba later gave birth to Solomon. The story of David and Bathsheba reminds us of how great men who are called by God are still humans and struggle with sin. This is David's great internal conflict, he is sexually and romantically infatuated with Batsheba and yet frustrated at his sinful feelings and longings. David is at the same time both in love with, as well as angry at, Batsheba. This conflict is encapsulated in the homonymous name of the song, "Mad About You", a double entendre, which can be both construed as being very enthusiastically fond of, or angry at, someone.
Thankyou for this marvellous expostion. I will raise it at my Bible group. To me thuogh the song makes me think of a woman I knew who served her European governent by marrying into a Lebanese tribe in the Eighties. A stones throw from Jerusalem, during the civil war of the Levant. She was a woman of mystery, a female James Bond, whose history I still resarch, and I have mourned her passing some five years now.
He's obviously talented but also smart. He has always worked with amazing musicians he collaborates with and draws from their superior music knowledge and ideas.
I think that this song, "Thousand Years" and "Desert rose" could become a trilogy of stories about a man who is trying to escape from reality, dreaming of exotic countries and missing someone he has lost. A painful longing for love and beauty is combined with the image of the desert, reminiscent of a lonely human soul, ancient legends and ethnic motifs. I really adore this songs.
Add the “Book of my life” as a finale to your trilogy, please! In this he recalls good and bad memories of his life.
@@VV55VV I agree!

Absolutely right ❤
Sting on “Mad About You”:
It’s inspired by the story of King David and Bathsheba. These stories of murder and obsessive, jealous love appeal to me for some reason. Yes, those lines “There are no victories / In all our histories / Without love” have the quintessential Sting idea that romantic love outweighs global issues. I really believe that. Love is continuity of the species, it’s the most important thing. That’s why love songs are immortal. A political song will be dated within a year. It took me a long time to learn that."
Glory to God.
I totally agree with you ❤
we feel aimless and lost until we find love, I tell you this after 50 years of life, you're only alive when you're in love. Other things will hopefully give you purpose., but love is the only one that will ALWAYS give you a reason to get up in the morning
For a true story of love and forgiveness, read Samuel 1 and Samuel 2.
Peace be with you.
Through faith and grace.
He writes a masterpiece of lyrics here. I just love hearing his poetry.

⌛ timeless masterpiece ⏳
A stone's throw from Jerusalem
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
And though a million stars were shining
My heart was lost on a distant planet
That whirls around the April moon
Whirling in an arc of sadness
I'm lost without you, I'm lost without you
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand and fall into the sea
I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you
And from the dark secluded valleys
I heard the ancient songs of sadness
But every step I thought of you
Every footstep only you
Every star a grain of sand
The leavings of a dried up ocean
Tell me, how much longer,
How much longer?
They say a city in the desert lies
The vanity of an ancient king
But the city lies in broken pieces
Where the wind howls and the vultures sing
These are the works of man
This is the sum of our ambition
It would make a prison of my life
If you became another's wife
With every prison blown to dust
My enemies walk free
I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you
And I have never in my life
Felt more alone than I do now
Although I claim dominions over all I see
It means nothing to me
There are no victories
In all our histories
Without love
A stone's throw from Jerusalem
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
And though a million stars were shining
My heart was lost on a distant planet
That whirls around the April moon
Whirling in an arc of sadness
I'm lost without you, I'm lost without you
And though you hold the keys to ruin of everything I see
With every prison blown to dust my enemies walk free
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand and fall into the sea
I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you
Thank you 🎶🌻

MAD ABOUT YOU (русский перевод) - my favorite singer!
Камни иерусалимских стен...
Я прошёл путь один... только лунный плен...
И хотя было светло в звёздном свете,
Моё сердце потерялось на дальней планете...
Той, что вращается вокруг апрельской Луны
По орбите печали и судьбы...
Я потерян без тебя...
Мне плохо без тебя...
Пусть все мои королевства
Как песок смыла волна...
Мне больно без тебя...
Я без тебя схожу с ума...
И из тёмных одиноких долин
Я услышал печали крик...
И каждый миг я думал о тебе,
Каждый шаг был только для тебя...
И эти звёзды - частицы песка,
От океана осталась река...
Скажи сколько ещё ждать?
Сколько страдать??
Говорят, что в пустыне есть город -
Память величия древнего короля...
Этот город лежит в руинах,
И над ним кружатся мёртвые ветра...
И кружат над ним чёрные птицы -
Это всё итог наших амбиций...
Моя жизнь была бы тюрьмой,
Если бы ты стала чьей-то женой...
Как песок разрушает оковы
Мои враги свободны снова...
Мне плохо без тебя...
Я без тебя схожу с ума...
Никогда прежде в моей жизни
Я не был так одинок, как сейчас...
Пусть я владею всем, что вижу,-
Это ничего не значит для меня...
Все мои победы - только твои
В нашей истории нет побед - без любви...
Камни иерусалимских стен...
Я прошел всё один и только лунный плен,
И хотя было светло в звёздном свете,
Моё сердце потерялось на дальней планете...
Той, что вращается вокруг апрельской Луны
По орбите печали и судьбы...
Я потерян без тебя...
Мне так больно без тебя...
И хотя ты держишь ключи
От моей раненой души...
И можешь разрушить оковы,
Но мои враги стали свободны снова...
Знаешь, все мои города
Как песок смыла волна...
Мне плохо без тебя...
Я без тебя схожу с ума...
что-то у Стинга популярные клипы про пустыню. Совпадение?
@@КонстантинЖуков-х3е съемки в Дюне торкнули, видимо.
Happy Birthday Mr. Sting!
Masterpiece... Golden era of music video. Today all we see on MTV is garbage...
I agree
This song is one of the most beautiful he has ever made but it was underrated
I❤Sting!!
Stunning. Gives me vibes of Bogart and Casablanca setting.
Im mad about this Song,💜💛❤💚🤍🙆♀️❤
Love From India (Assam ❤) ZG❤❤❤
Pure poetry !
(Translation from English into Russ.)
Из-за тебя рассудок теряю
Недалеко от Иерусалима
Я прошел при лунном свете милю.
И хотя миллион звезд на небе было,
Моё сердце на далёкой планете заблудилось,
Которая вращается там, где видна апрельская луна.
В секторе печали вращается она.
Я заблудился без тебя. Я блуждаю.
И хотя всё моё царство может в песок превратиться
И в море кануть,
Я из-за тебя рассудок теряю. Из-за тебя рассудок теряю.
Из темноты уединённых долин
Доносится песня - древняя и печальная.
Я с каждым шагом о тебе вспоминаю.
Каждый мой шаг - это ты.
Каждая звезда, каждая песчинка… . Там, где ступаю -
Высохший океан барханами струится…
Ты мне скажи, сколько ещё так будет длиться,
Сколько ещё так жить?
Говорят, город в пустыне лежит.
Там, где лишь ветер воет да орел кричит.
Этот город - результат тщеславия древнего властелина.
Это - творение человека и нагромождение амбиций.
Знаешь, он может оказаться моей темницей,
Если ты будешь женой другого.
Мои враги свободу снова обретают,
А я из-за тебя рассудок теряю. Из-за тебя рассудок теряю.
Сегодня я себя одиноким ощутил.
И хотя я провозгласил,
Что владею всем тем, что меня окружает,
Это ничего не означает.
Ведь что ни говори,
Не бывало виктории⃰ во всей нашей Истории
Без любви.
Недалеко от Иерусалима
Я прошел при лунном свете милю.
И хотя миллион звезд на небе было,
Моё сердце на далёкой планете заблудилось,
Которая вращается там, где видна апрельская луна.
В секторе печали вращается она.
Я заблудился без тебя. Я блуждаю.
И хотя всё моё царство может в песок превратиться
И в море кануть,
Я из-за тебя рассудок теряю. Из-за тебя рассудок теряю.
Моё царство может в песок превратиться
И в море кануть.
Мои враги - свободу обретают.
И хотя в твоей власти разрушить всё, чем я обладаю,
Я из-за тебя рассудок теряю. Из-за тебя рассудок теряю.

Mad about Sting...🌼❤️
MAD ABOUT U&I. BRILLIANT
Of all Sting's songs that i know, albeit not many, this is my favourite.
Absolute Masterpiece.
What a song...
How many times have I watched this gem? Many.
GREAT SONG off Soul Cages! Outstanding record! And then after this one comes STINGS masterpiece 10 Sumners Tales! 🏆
Happy Birthday, Sting!

Sting super good luck. Благодарю вас за исполнение хорошей песни. Всех благ вам и здоровья вам и вашим близким.
I never get tired of that song. Love Sting's music
Mad about You - lyrics ❀ ( • Sting ) :
A stone's throw from Jerusalem,
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight.
And though a million stars were shining,
My heart was lost on a distant planet
That whirls around the April moon,
Whirling in an arc of sadness.
I'm lost without you.
I'm lost without you.
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand
And fall into the sea,
I'm mad about you.
I'm mad about you.
And from the dark secluded valleys
I heard the ancient songs of sadness.
But every step I thought of you,
Every footstep only you,
And every star, a grain of sand,
The leavings of a dried up ocean.
Tell me how much longer?
How much longer?
They say a city in the desert lies -
The vanity of an ancient king.
But the city lies in broken pieces
Where the wind howls and the vultures sing.
These are the works of man,
This is the sum of our ambition.
It would make a prison of my life,
If you became another's wife.
With every prison blown to dust
My enemies walk free.
I'm mad about you.
I'm mad about you.
And I have never in my life
Felt more alone than I do now.
Although I claim dominions over all I see,
It means nothing to me.
There are no victories
In all our histories
Without love.
A stone's throw from Jerusalem,
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight.
And though a million stars were shining,
My heart was lost on a distant planet
That whirls around the April moon,
Whirling in an arc of sadness.
I'm lost without you.
I'm lost without you.
And though you hold the keys to ruin
Of everything I see,
With every prison blown to dust
My enemies walk free.
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand
And fall into the sea,
I'm mad about you.
I'm mad about you.
This is from the Soul Cages in my humble opinion the absolutely BEST album he has ever made. His parents died during the making of it
Bonjour une belle découverte, magnifique, superbe, bonne journée à tous Isabelle de France ♥️💋⚘
@Isabelle Sting Mad About You is one of my personal favorite song
This song makes my heart burn with passion
And I have never in my life felt more alone than I do now, although I claim dominions over all I see it means nothing to me, there are no victories in all our histories without love...
This song depicts the biblical story of King David and Batsheba (2 Samuel 11, 12; 1 Kings 1, 2).
Bathsheba was the wife of Uriah the Hittite (an elite soldier in the army of David). A beautiful woman, she became pregnant after David saw her bathing on a rooftop and had her brought to him. David then ordered that Uriah be moved to the front-line of a battle, where he was killed. David married the widowed Bathsheba, but their first child died as punishment from God for David’s adultery and murder of Uriah. David repented of his sins, and Bathsheba later gave birth to Solomon.
The story of David and Bathsheba reminds us of how great men who are called by God are still humans and struggle with sin. This is David's great internal conflict, he is sexually and romantically infatuated with Batsheba and yet frustrated at his sinful feelings and longings. David is at the same time both in love with, as well as angry at, Batsheba.
This conflict is encapsulated in the homonymous name of the song, "Mad About You", a double entendre, which can be both construed as being very enthusiastically fond of, or angry at, someone.
Gracias por la descripción.
Thank you for this explanation… was wondering what the song refers to.
Thankyou for this marvellous expostion. I will raise it at my Bible group. To me thuogh the song makes me think of a woman I knew who served her European governent by marrying into a Lebanese tribe in the Eighties. A stones throw from Jerusalem, during the civil war of the Levant. She was a woman of mystery, a female James Bond, whose history I still resarch, and I have mourned her passing some five years now.
My name is Ozymandias, king of kings...
😊

He's obviously talented but also smart. He has always worked with amazing musicians he collaborates with and draws from their superior music knowledge and ideas.
Lovely song. Also the version that he did with Zucchero is very beautiful
