Branford Marsalis gets plenty, no worries- he is a very well respected. If you listen to the rest of this album, you can hear more of him, and how much fun he and Sting had creating songs together (along with some other musical geniuses). There's even a funny beginning to Shadows In The Rain where he says "Wait, wait- what key is it in?"
Such a underrated song😭 English man in New York: about immigration and how he felt like an alien in New York figuratively and literally speaking😭 so deep
@@nikotakai8796 idk about deeper but it's basically just saying a gentleman will have enough control of his emotions to walk away from a provocation from an enemy but will never run away from the conflict.
Yes. When I was young and this song came out I couldn't appreciate the lyrics like now because being born and raised in Germany I had no notion of the underlying message of the song. Loved the music but today I love this song even more for what it represents.
Year 100,675: I just jumped in my time machine and went back to 1987 to meet this guy at the film set - that's me disguised as a woman crossing the road at 1:54. You're welcome.

This song and video is to me perfection-the lyricality, the bouncing tempo, shots of Quentin Crisp, Branford Marsalis on sax, Sting’s voice, his elegant and stylish long coat and scarf, the beautiful austerity of the New York architecture in the snow in black and white, the message of retaining your class and civility and unique identity in the face of terrible prejudice and pressure …and then the final shots and sounds as Branford walks away shrugging on his coat and gives one last fleeting look over his shoulder..just perfection
The elderly English gent in the video was Quentin Crisp, who suffered a lot of ignorance and was victimized, but never vengeful, only polite. He was an openly gay man, and the author of The Naked Civil Servant, among other books; he was often reviled and persecuted as a young man, and he moved to NYC for his older years. I worked for his literary agent and had the pleasure of meeting him once and talking with him on the phone many times.
This is perfection. Sting and the Police go with me to so many countries and cities all over the world. If there is one artist I listen to while exploring more than any other…it’s Sting. God bless his very soul.

I wish that pop musicians could bring back this style. Not that we don't like music today but, I can listen to this alot more without getting tired of it.
I know exactly what you mean. A lot of the stuff that comes out is processed to death and just rubbish in my ears and/or is more about an artist's image than sound. Some music is definitely decent but I don't think this type of musicality that was abundant in the charts from the 60s till the 90s will have a resurgence in the foreseeable future...
The fact that it took this long for a label like Frontiers Records to step up and actually bring back some classic rock/pop back to the West proves that the industry is permanently crippled. Music has been homogenized and cheapened to hell and back, and the general consumers have simply lapped it up without any regard for musicianship. It's just a crowd mentality that sadly persists to this very day. Very disheartening.
Music now involves tons and tons of marketing, as was discovered in the 80's or maybe even before. Cyndi Lauper had one great PR machine behind her for the time, but she also put out great music. Now, all you need is a great PR machine to succeed which is why shitty rap artists are a dime a dozen. They all make use of the "G.O.A.T." mentality to make themselves known. And the general consensus for music nowadays is that people think it's processed shit, they just don't bother to broaden their horizons and *seek out* music rather than let it fall into their lap. Crowd mentality will never get old, and good musicians must know how to work that crowd to their advantage, just like how punk rock became a lifestyle. And music is evolving, going through a shitty phase. I look forward to music in the future.
+SuperCruiser72 You must have such broad horizons if you think that all music is terrible these days. Try looking for music you like instead of complaining about what's marketed to you.
I suffered bullying for 7 years and this song accompanied me. I repeated to myself before going to school be yourself no matter what they said. They are really wise and strong words that you have to reach a very low point in your life to understand. if I did that in front of my enemies. when I could but I followed the advice of this song I ignored their comments and passed by them smiling like a true gentleman THANK YOU STING
Because the person who published the song didn't? Who the hell is that guy. I'm only here because 5 minutes ago I heard it played at a swimming pool @@pup1008
My parents took me to see Sting in concert at the end of the 80s. I was maybe 8. When he sand this song, the lights, the crowd, the beauty of his voice... Unforgettable.
Wasn't born in the 80s (I know it wasn't the best time), but man it would've been nice to go to a Sting concert around that time. His music's + The Police is just so good
I've seen Sting on stage only once.. in his production of The Last Ship a musical he wrote, directed and starred in, a few years ago. Very interesting and impressive, but I would love to have seen/heard him in his younger years.
One of the best songs ever written. Elegance, style, jazz, saxophone, lyrics, black and white video. I always ask myself how is it possible to make a song with sophisticated melody like this, when there is a melody inside other melodies and in the end we have a masterpiece.Sting has a total musical taste , his songs are the best, Fields of gold, Seven days, When we dance, It’s probably me, Shape of my heart, They dance alone, Roxanne. And of course there are so much more. We can count and count. I love him, his music stays with me during all my life.
Sting is an absolute genius but my most favourite of all his songs is "Fragile" - beautiful words to a beautiful melody. I would love one day to write as good a song!

i come here not only because I love this song, but because I get to see Quentin Crisp, he lived his truth, he asked no permission, begged no forgiveness and owned it all. H e, to me, is the personification of personal value and pride of self .

It is one of the more brilliantly written songs ever. Groove, key changes, percussion fills, chorus over the verse, and the bridge position & melody - OMG
I was in high school when Sting ventured off into this jazzy era by himself! It was delicious! Set them Free…set me free…and then he made so much more.😊

I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear. I like my toast done on one side. You can hear it in my accent when I talk, I'm an Englishman in New York. *Politeness intensifies*
Same as you said. But. I'm an Irishman in New york... I like Lyons Tea and bit of whiskey don't know you know. etc... Just joking. love this song and Sting and the Police... PeAce...
My favorite Sting track among many. Not only is it upbeat, melodic and irresistibly catchy but I also luv that short little break where the rock drums kick in. The sax 🎷 was also really on point and supplied by Jazz great Branford Marsalis. He played with Sting on his first 6 albums and also appeared on countless other albums by artists like CSN, James Taylor and the Grateful Dead. He also played on several tv documentaries and the “Sneakers” movie soundtrack.

2024. In an era when people have no taste, only Sting’s songs and videos will save me. Classic hairstyle, scarf, coat, umbrella, gesture and aesthetics. There is taste, logic and meaning in this. Thanks to everyone who has taste, logic and sense. Thank you, Sting, for existing and saving us from the universal madness of the world. Bravo, Maestro.
I used to listen to this song when I was single mother with a baby with no house. We went from house to house. But sometimes I put on this song and I would dance around the room with my daughter and forget everything. She would smile whole the song. We would laugh so much. This song remembers me that I need nothing but love to be happy. Its a feeling. ❤️
Thank you. We are doing wel now. I just come back sometimes to remember I don’t need materialistic things to experience happiness and to remind myself to always stay humble and kind to everyone. ❤️
@@DEADLYMELODY187 It's really good to know that there are people like you in this world, that not everyone/everything is lost. Keep doing that way, it will always benefit you, one way or another.
Beautiful... hope you guys doing great now a days... all the best for you, and you are absolutely right, those little moments are the meaning of our life! God bless you two!
Ha! This is a very 1990s song. That brief period 1989 to 1999 when many songs were low key but well made. Many were movie sound track, credits songs or easy listening.
" Be yourself, no matter what they say." What a great words... I think, all people should remember it. And of course, the song is amazing and very beautiful
I'm agry with WONDERFUL ""STING"" and ANNA about "BE YOURSEL NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY" . ALL PEOPLE '''MUST MUST" MUST"' REMEMBER IT. I HAVE TWO ""ACERRIME NEMICHE"" (I translate: I nave TWO very badly women) ou hate me very much). I try to go on, like "ULISSE wen he met the "SIRENE" calling HIM with 'SUADENTE, SEDUCENTE and SEXI VOICE" in the Mediterraneo SEA as without Tale care of them, but it's quite impossible di when I met in

@@willritter4076 I was Reading and Reading and Reading again the Sting Song I'm an Englishman in New York. I like this Song so much. Every day when I wake up in the morning, I choose this Song in my smartphone and it seems thats everything Is more beatiful than Yesterday. My English Is so bad. I'm Italian woman from North Italy and usually at SCOOL we study french languages and I study English by mayself. I beg your pardon
As an ell student, my professor played this song for us today since it was related to our lesson topic. I've been listening to it on repeat since I got back to my dorm. I think I'm quite moved by both the song and that man..
My english teacher played this song in class and we worked about it. I wanted to share what she told us "Sting dedicated his song ''Englishman in New York'' to Quentin Crisp. You can see him in the song video clip. In late 1986 Sting visited Crisp in his apartment and was told over dinner - and the next three days - what life had been like for a homosexual man in the largely homophobic Great Britain of the 1920s to the 1960s. Sting was both shocked and fascinated and decided to write this song. It includes the lines: It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile, Be yourself no matter what they say." It makes me feel safe to know this fact
It is indeed. I saw him Mr Crisp when I was standing outside a sentry box at the Tower of London, 1975?, doffed his cap, of all things. Unique and unmistakable character.
@@andyfarman7525 Man! It takes a man to anticipate, what you would have done if he doffed his trousers and presented his man, right infront of your man. Man! Only the thought is exciting you whole backbone
I remember listening to this song when I used to live in Finland. All my friends had it memorized and would ask me what he meant with each line. And all I could think was... "I only remember the chorus" :) but after a year of people asking i had the whole song down. Such a good song.
yes... and the enemies should learn that quote as well...

"It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile" "Takes more than combat gear to make a man" not so encouraging when you aren't a man :(

Including Sting’s voice which itself is a musical instrument.

I am born in September 1985, I love Sting. Great singer. The saxophone 🎷 stole my heart. Sensational 😊
This song is like wine, its quality is increasing day by day..
This song is just masterpiece. Branford really tops it of for me.

No, I’m not here. 😂
İ have been listening to this non stop
Yes. When I was young and this song came out I couldn't appreciate the lyrics like now because being born and raised in Germany I had no notion of the underlying message of the song. Loved the music but today I love this song even more for what it represents.

I was an English man in New York listened to this every day. Thanks Sting
That's awesome. I have ancestors from Yorkshire but I am a Mayflower American. He has such fashion sense. This is how one knows he's European and not American.
I'd be honored if some Sting fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal TH-cam performances of ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK and WHY SHOULD I CRY FOR YOU in tribute to the master of lyricism and composition. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace and stay safe in the '020s.

My uncle is also an Englishman in New York! As for me I'm an Englishman in Budapest... somehow we Brits seem to end up everywhere
"Be yourself, no matter what they say..." As a kid of the 80s, I still live by those words:)
that line hit me hard
be yourself is a meaningless phrase
Manners maketh man, THAT was the takeaway for me
“Takes more than combat gear to make a man”
I think this was the advice given to Hitler
バリバリのhardrock好きなのですが、このMVが一番好き！
一生聞き続けるでしょう。
This song and video is to me perfection-the lyricality, the bouncing tempo, shots of Quentin Crisp, Branford Marsalis on sax, Sting’s voice, his elegant and stylish long coat and scarf, the beautiful austerity of the New York architecture in the snow in black and white, the message of retaining your class and civility and unique identity in the face of terrible prejudice and pressure …and then the final shots and sounds as Branford walks away shrugging on his coat and gives one last fleeting look over his shoulder..just perfection
“Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can. A gentleman will walk but never run” 😩I love that line!
Me too!

An unforgettable tune of my teenage. "Be yourself no matter what they say": MOTTO OF THE DAY
"Takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile."
My favorite line of all time.
Yeah, a much needed thought these dark days...
Chris Tucker right ?
th-cam.com/video/CixcfHj4LRk/w-d-xo.html
Chris Tucker what about a woman?
The elderly English gent in the video was Quentin Crisp, who suffered a lot of ignorance and was victimized, but never vengeful, only polite. He was an openly gay man, and the author of The Naked Civil Servant, among other books; he was often reviled and persecuted as a young man, and he moved to NYC for his older years. I worked for his literary agent and had the pleasure of meeting him once and talking with him on the phone many times.
This song never gets old.
That's one of the certainties of this song: it's a timeless masterpiece!!
@@Rita-kk7lq all of his songs are timeless masterpieces...
노래는 늙지 않는 다. 하지만 네가 한 말을 난 이해한다. 나도 네가 한 말에 공감한다. 너무 좋은 곡
So true stay a good song.
Ikr? During my visits to NYC in 2019, I actually had this song in my head and thought the same.
This is perfection. Sting and the Police go with me to so many countries and cities all over the world. If there is one artist I listen to while exploring more than any other…it’s Sting. God bless his very soul.

Sting is the definition of pure talent and makes the best masterpieces
I wish that pop musicians could bring back this style. Not that we don't like music today but, I can listen to this alot more without getting tired of it.
I know exactly what you mean. A lot of the stuff that comes out is processed to death and just rubbish in my ears and/or is more about an artist's image than sound. Some music is definitely decent but I don't think this type of musicality that was abundant in the charts from the 60s till the 90s will have a resurgence in the foreseeable future...
The fact that it took this long for a label like Frontiers Records to step up and actually bring back some classic rock/pop back to the West proves that the industry is permanently crippled. Music has been homogenized and cheapened to hell and back, and the general consumers have simply lapped it up without any regard for musicianship. It's just a crowd mentality that sadly persists to this very day. Very disheartening.
Music now involves tons and tons of marketing, as was discovered in the 80's or maybe even before. Cyndi Lauper had one great PR machine behind her for the time, but she also put out great music. Now, all you need is a great PR machine to succeed which is why shitty rap artists are a dime a dozen. They all make use of the "G.O.A.T." mentality to make themselves known.
And the general consensus for music nowadays is that people think it's processed shit, they just don't bother to broaden their horizons and *seek out* music rather than let it fall into their lap. Crowd mentality will never get old, and good musicians must know how to work that crowd to their advantage, just like how punk rock became a lifestyle.
And music is evolving, going through a shitty phase. I look forward to music in the future.
>>>>>>>"Not that we don't like music today..."
Speak for yourself ONLY. I stopped listening to music years ago because it stinks.
+SuperCruiser72 You must have such broad horizons if you think that all music is terrible these days. Try looking for music you like instead of complaining about what's marketed to you.
I suffered bullying for 7 years and this song accompanied me. I repeated to myself before going to school be yourself no matter what they said. They are really wise and strong words that you have to reach a very low point in your life to understand. if I did that in front of my enemies. when I could but I followed the advice of this song I ignored their comments and passed by them smiling like a true gentleman THANK YOU STING
Now you stand tall with your head held high, with dignity and hopefully feeling better

look up some of the doc's on his life. Quite interesting life he indeed lead.

Wasn't born in the 80s (I know it wasn't the best time), but man it would've been nice to go to a Sting concert around that time. His music's + The Police is just so good
Hello ✋
I was born in 90 and never got to see him live. You're making me jealous.
I've seen Sting on stage only once.. in his production of The Last Ship a musical he wrote, directed and starred in, a few years ago.
Very interesting and impressive, but I would love to have seen/heard him in his younger years.
@Stella nice story and well parents, take care of her daughters taste ;)
One of the best songs ever written. Elegance, style, jazz, saxophone, lyrics, black and white video. I always ask myself how is it possible to make a song with sophisticated melody like this, when there is a melody inside other melodies and in the end we have a masterpiece.Sting has a total musical taste , his songs are the best, Fields of gold, Seven days, When we dance, It’s probably me, Shape of my heart, They dance alone, Roxanne.
And of course there are so much more. We can count and count. I love him, his music stays with me during all my life.
Detto
I absolutely agree with you Svetka TV
Sting is an absolute genius but my most favourite of all his songs is "Fragile" - beautiful words to a beautiful melody. I would love one day to write as good a song!
This sounds more like an oboe than a saxophone so it’s an oboe.
@@JonahMobarakcan claim its sounds like an oboe, it's still a saxophone though
" Be youself no matter what they say " - it's true

My favorite Sting track among many. Not only is it upbeat, melodic and irresistibly catchy but I also luv that short little break where the rock drums kick in. The sax 🎷 was also really on point and supplied by Jazz great Branford Marsalis. He played with Sting on his first 6 albums and also appeared on countless other albums by artists like CSN, James Taylor and the Grateful Dead. He also played on several tv documentaries and the “Sneakers” movie soundtrack.

Does anyone else think that Sting has an almost mystical sound to most of his songs. Something about his voice just sounds so smooth.
Yeah, something otherworldly about his voice, definitely.
Agreed, he deals with deep issues on a large scale, which creates deep sounding music.
Yee-yeah.He's a poet, who also sings, plays a mean Bass guitar.
He's my favorite musician since the 80's.😎

I used to listen to this song when I was single mother with a baby with no house. We went from house to house. But sometimes I put on this song and I would dance around the room with my daughter and forget everything. She would smile whole the song. We would laugh so much. This song remembers me that I need nothing but love to be happy. Its a feeling. ❤️
wish you the best

As an ell student, my professor played this song for us today since it was related to our lesson topic. I've been listening to it on repeat since I got back to my dorm. I think I'm quite moved by both the song and that man..
The best thing about this song is the message:
*_Be yourself no matter what they say..._*
Dam right
"Be yourself, everyone else is taken"
@@TacticalGhost007 that is very true
My english teacher played this song in class and we worked about it. I wanted to share what she told us
"Sting dedicated his song ''Englishman in New York'' to Quentin Crisp. You can see him in the song video clip.
In late 1986 Sting visited Crisp in his apartment and was told over dinner - and the next three days - what life had been like for a homosexual man in the largely homophobic Great Britain of the 1920s to the 1960s. Sting was both shocked and fascinated and decided to write this song. It includes the lines: It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile, Be yourself no matter what they say."
It makes me feel safe to know this fact
Spot on! Well done - Respect from *Essex UK!*
That is an awesome bit of reference.
@@amcaesar Ha that GB and gay prejudice is true again
It is indeed. I saw him Mr Crisp when I was standing outside a sentry box at the Tower of London, 1975?, doffed his cap, of all things. Unique and unmistakable character.

I remember listening to this song when I used to live in Finland. All my friends had it memorized and would ask me what he meant with each line. And all I could think was... "I only remember the chorus" :) but after a year of people asking i had the whole song down. Such a good song.

Hey Mark, nice to see you here, too!
"Confront your enemies and avoid them when you can, a gentleman will walk but never run" one of the best quotes ever
yes... and the enemies should learn that quote as well... I'd be honored if some Sting fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK and WHY SHOULD I CRY FOR YOU on my YT channel in tribute to the master. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.

The most beautiful song.
