- Sting plays his song "Russians" live in concert with the San Francisco Symphony before a sold-out crowd at Davies Symphony Hall on February 15, 2024. Russians appeared on Sting's debut solo album, The Dream Of The Blue Turtles (1985). Its melody is based on “Lieutenant Kije Suite” by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev. This chamber version was arranged by American composer Rob Mathes, who also served as the concert's musical director and played piano and keyboards. Sting is a Grammy Award winning British singer-songwriter from Newcastle, England who was a founding member of the band The Police. This was one of only a handful of shows Sting is playing with symphony orchestras, including an upcoming show with the Philadelphia Orchestra on March 8 and 9.
==================
Russians lyrics:
In Europe and America
There’s a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mr. Khrushchev said we will bury you
I don’t subscribe to this point of view
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too
How can I save my little boy
From Oppenheimer's deadly toy?
There is no monopoly of common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
There is no historical precedent
To put the words in the mouth of the president
There’s no such thing as a winnable war
It’s a lie we don’t believe anymore
Mr. Reagan says we will protect you
I don’t subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us me and you
Is that the Russians love their children too
Written by Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner a/k/a Sting

Thank you Tim, for making it possible to experience the performance of this great and true artist, with the San Francisco Symphony, at least this way!
No more war!
Peaceful in the world is the most important thing I feel.
So,I love this song.
God bless Sting! And thanks for making it available to watch 🙏🙏
As well as being an amazing singer, musician and songwriter, Sting is an incredibly intelligent thinker. His mind is always looking for more. Everyone on this planet should feel like that, regardless of their intellect or circumstances. There is so much to learn and so little time.

Thanks to you from the Russian for posting this video, to Sting for his clear mind and warm heart, and to the wonderful orchestra that performed this score based on the music of my favorite composer Sergei Prokofiev.
WHERE WERE YOU LOVED?
When do you make I hope USA love his children too
USA is not invading currently their neigbour. Russia already did that twice in the past and are doing it now.
@@jancembala4428Korea, Vientam, Iraq, Syria, Lybia... Jugoslavia! It's incomplete list of US invasions. By the way who nuked Japan? 😂
Пусть ЛЮБОВЬ и МИР прийдет в каждую семью! ОСТАНОВИТЕ войны! Замечательный музыкант и певец!
Все в руках русских. Они выбрали своего царя и видимо им так нравится.
That did not sound like the Prokofiev music used in the original recording.
Well, Prokofiev used a lot of horns and bassoons but this orchestra doesn't sound like they have many if any. It's mostly strings, violin, chello and probably some clarinet
Поручик Киже!
The irony that when they song is most relevant to the world he takes it off the set-list. - He never did so in the case of They Dance Alone in the context of Pinochet
Who is sending their children in meatgrinder is ambiguous from my POV. Mister V.Z. or mr. Putin as Sting says at 1:16. Both I would say and all is blessed by mr. Biden.
日本語で失礼だけど、この曲は冷戦時代の米ソ関係を歌ってるけど、ウクライナにやってるプーチンの愚行にも通じると思う。
