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 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.
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

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?"
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.
@@duchessofhellTrue! Let's always think of all the strong women and nonbinary folks pushing through hardships and making it work, they're such inspirations to every single human out there! 😎✨

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

Thank you so much ❤baby girl and thank you guys for saving my relationship with my girlfriend now she is my wife we got married today god bless all of you guys enjoy the rest of you day a head of us 😊
I've memorised this one before I learned English, about 20 years ago. I don't listen music a lot, but Stings songs I always love to hear, because they are real, like listening to his soul singing... Don't think Sting will ever read this, but THANK YOU Gordon for "being your self, no matter what they say"! You are 70 already! I hope you will stay with us as much as you want, but time is relentless and "It takes a man" to understand this right - when you go on, know that this world will miss you so much ... God bless you!
From an *Englishman* who has listened to a *LOT* of music to someone learning English who doesn't listen to much music - th-cam.com/video/EeZRdd_1b4g/w-d-xo.html The most English song there is & probably on of the most beautiful ever written. Always play this when I'm away from the UK & need to be reminded of home!
Cool. What's your first language. I am revising my French. I can't seem to remember any German from school. Spanish is quite close to English. Also, Italian. But, those are the Latin languages perhaps. German seems quite different. 🤪🤓 It's a proud language perhaps?
Great way to learn English. I forgot. I was supposed to be looking for. French, Spanish. Italian. Songs, also Russian maybe. Portuguese. Maybe just French and English. I am no Superman.
@@pup1008 yes, but we are still sore about WOrld War 1 and 2 here in England. I am xenophobic. I fear foreigners. Particularly Germanic people. Not really bad racism. Just wary of that culture. So it's likely. I did not pay much attention in German class. Guten Morgan. Guten Tag Hola! Bein Nuit. Like in English: pardon in French: Pardon? But, in German the words are quite different from English. Due to the Roman Empire, I thought. Where The Goths, invaded Italy, from the North. Destroying the Roman Empire. As with The British Empire. We were dogged by The Germans, maybe fighting for their dinner. I only met 3 or 4 Germans in my whole life. But there's loads of Polish here in England. I am interested to listen to foreign media. I enjoyed watching Despacio. The Spanish song. It's a fun way to become familiar with a foreign language. Can you recommend any foreign media in German and Spanish?
Crazy! I heard this song on a beach last summer for the first time! Can you beleive it! I fell for it immediatly! You can hear all the sounds of NYC and feel it's tolerance. And then, I read the story of the authentic English gentleman in NYC. That man has inspiring life story for all of us who feel different from the rest of the crowd. Thank you Sting for leaving the endless mark of that man.
Oh my goodness, I'm sad you went this long in life without hearing this song! Hope you heard something special in it like the rest of us did. Please listen to the rest of the album if you haven't already, it's fucking transcendent.
Thank you for pointing this out. I strongly relate to this song, especially to being a "legal alien". Even though I feel like a "legal alien" in this world, not only NY. 😂
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.
I'm Brazilian and I love Sting's music. Eu sou de São Paulo, Brasil, cidade de Lorena. Ouvindo Sting neste momento. Feliz Ano de 2024 a todos. Abraços!
The Sting & Marsalis jazz collab period was an entire VIBE😎 … even today. That pairing with Sting’s Vocals and Bass with Marsalis Soprano sax 🎷 just makes me feel better😌
Estava em NY na época em que ele gravou esse vídeo,foi incrível, esse cara tomava café da manhã no Pensilvânia ao meu lado, era muito gentil e agradável.👍👍🍺🍺
They just don't make music like this anymore. I'm only 18 but I can remember my parents playing sting when I was a child and thank god! Because now I appreciate good music!
Çisem Usta, don't feel sorry. My parents listen to shitty music, but I managed to listen to good one like this. Kids these days can pretty much be autodidact, they can find good music to listen all by themselves.
But people teach them shitty music as good music. They don't have too many options to choose in that way. I mean, I saw lots of people who think Lovefool is JB's song, not The Cardigans...
I agree with Jurek009. "Love Me" is not JB's song either. It was originally written by Natalie Burke, if I remember correctly and it was used in the sims 2 game. Nobody told me that. I found out all by myself. The conclusion is you don't have to listen to the shitty music people teach you to!
yes... and the enemies should learn that quote as well...

Александр,Вы самый недооценённый пианист.Очень жаль,что люди Вас не знают.Мне кажется,что люди просто забыли,что значит просто красивая и качественная музыка. Творческих успехов Вам!
I'm 49 years old, and this is the first time I've ever heard this song. I know Sting, and I know The Police. But never got into his discography. I typed a search for something unrelated and this one showed up with 282M views on it, so obviously had to check it out. What an arrangement! So smooth, so catchy too! Can't believe my ears had never heard this before.
Oh God, after listening to this song everyone in the world dreamed of visiting New York. Many years ago stars were STARS. Nowadays noone has its talent like Sting and artists his generation. Good old artists who link generations!!!❤
@@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.
As a young man i heared this song in 1987 and i don´t liked it. But know, years and years are gone, i love it. It is a masterpiece, a jewel and sting is a great artist.
I met this work of art in 2008 while I was studying a subject (for veterinary medicine) I wrote down its name and from that moment on, I don't think there hasn't been a day where I haven't listened to it!!! my girlfriend at the time used to tell me “you're going to get tired of listening to it” hahaha. I love this song, I love sting. Greetings from Argentina! .❤
I was born 6 years after its release, but I grew up with that song. My parents kept playing it over and over again. I connect soooo many memories with it. Love it.
I don't take coffee, I take tea, my dear I like my toast done on one side And you can hear it in my accent when I talk I'm an Englishman in New York See me walking down Fifth Avenue A walking cane here at my side I take it everywhere I walk I'm an Englishman in New York Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York If "manners maketh man" as someone said He's the hero of the day It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile Be yourself no matter what they say Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety You could end up as the only one Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society At night a candle's brighter than the sun Takes more than combat gear to make a man Takes more than a license for a gun Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can A gentleman will walk but never run If "manners maketh man" as someone said He's the hero of the day It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile Be yourself no matter what they say Be yourself no matter what they say Be yourself no matter what they say Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien) Be yourself no matter what they say (I'm an Englishman in New York) Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien) Be yourself no matter what they say (I'm an Englishman in New York) Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien) Be yourself no matter what they say (I'm an Englishman in New York) Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien) Be yourself no matter what they say (I'm an Englishman in New York) Be yourself no matter what they say
Makes me wish I was born in the 50s and went living in New York. Also makes me live my current life, being completely content and full of dreams. Fuck, this song is timeless on so many levels.

Merci, merci pour votre effort cher monsieur💌 Ne parlant que gaulois je suis allée voir sur youyou la traduction. Pas étonnée du tout, c'est bien ce que mon esprit avait perçu. Un gentleman sans sa canne qui se ballade dans les rues d'une ville étrange. "Je ne bois pas de café je prends du thé, mon cher". Si les manières font l'homme etc... Sauf que ça fait un bail que l'Amérique a subordonné nos contrées. Le parapluie est devenu ridicule même par temps de pluie, de même pour les chapeaux pourtant si seyants 👒Ce que le monde est devenu s'étale sans vergogne sous nos yeux égarés. "Cela forge un homme de tolérer l'ignorance en souriant". J'y pense fort my dear, j'y pense... Clap de fin 🎬Redire mon affection pour Sting serait redondant. Mais je m'en fout. "Moi je m'balance, dégrafez tous les cols blancs de vos consciences , moi j'men balance, mon lit est assez grand pour des milliers d'amants" Ecoutez Barbara 🐬
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. ❤️

"Takes more than combat gear to make a man Takes more than a license for a gun Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can A gentleman will walk but never run" Game, set, match... this is the wonderful thing about great songs: in just four verses they reveal one of the great absolute truths. Great song, immense singer and author...
jip, for me the best part of the song , only use voilence againt your enemy when you are really able to and know you can win, rest of the time use deception and or peacefull means ,...
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.
Honestly one of my favorite songs ever. Doesn't get much better than this. I discovered Sting on my own and wow... he knows how to make music, that's for sure.

Very deep lyrics, I can never have enough of this song. Hard to believe it was released in 1987 and I missed this song for all these years! God bless TH-cam and whoever uploaded it. :) Have been hearing it again and again since I discovered it a couple of years ago.
Thank you Sting and Quentin Crisp for a terrific song and a song for everyone “be yourself no matter what they say”
Quentin is dearly missed.
Rest in peace.

My favorite line is, "Gentleness, sobriety, are rare in this society".
Thank you, Sting, for giving us this song!

Most definitely, the sound is iconic.
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?"
This is "class" pure and simple! Love this with its jazz flavored accompaniment! Making this in black and white was a masterstroke of ambiance.
"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.
Im 89 years of age and listen to this every time I go to sleep just incase I don’t wake up, god bless.
I wish you good health and long life sir. I hope you are having a good day.

"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 :(

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
You know who the song is about right & what he suffered in his life? The guy is actually in the film.

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
But you could end up as the only one

Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can

One of my top songs when I was 16-18 years old. The elegance of Sting is almost beyond words. If you love somebody...
I'm 16 this year, and this is my fav song now, see how amazing Sting is😊
I listened to it 5 years ago when I was 16 :D
EW sting this song fix it 😡😡😡🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
@@陳煦-w3d That's just showing of how timeless these songs are.
I was 15 when the album was released and it became one of my favourite instantly. 35+ years later is a modern classic
Wow! He was GORGEOUS in this video! Sting has Many Beautiful songs, but this one is Special!
He still IS very handsome many years later ❤️
I've memorised this one before I learned English, about 20 years ago.
I don't listen music a lot, but Stings songs I always love to hear, because they are real, like listening to his soul singing...
Don't think Sting will ever read this, but THANK YOU Gordon for "being your self, no matter what they say"!
You are 70 already! I hope you will stay with us as much as you want, but time is relentless
and "It takes a man" to understand this right - when you go on, know that this world will miss you so much ... God bless you!
From an *Englishman* who has listened to a *LOT* of music to someone learning English who doesn't listen to much music - th-cam.com/video/EeZRdd_1b4g/w-d-xo.html
The most English song there is & probably on of the most beautiful ever written. Always play this when I'm away from the UK & need to be reminded of home!
Cool. What's your first language. I am revising my French. I can't seem to remember any German from school.
Spanish is quite close to English. Also, Italian.
But, those are the Latin languages perhaps.
German seems quite different. 🤪🤓 It's a proud language perhaps?
Great way to learn English. I forgot. I was supposed to be looking for. French, Spanish. Italian. Songs, also Russian maybe. Portuguese.
Maybe just French and English. I am no Superman.
@@MrRobertFarr
Spanish is close to English?
German is & we have some Latin from the Romans but I can't see that "Spanish" is close & I speak both?
@@pup1008 yes, but we are still sore about WOrld War 1 and 2 here in England. I am xenophobic. I fear foreigners. Particularly Germanic people. Not really bad racism. Just wary of that culture. So it's likely. I did not pay much attention in German class.
Guten Morgan. Guten Tag Hola! Bein Nuit.
Like in English: pardon in French: Pardon?
But, in German the words are quite different from English. Due to the Roman Empire, I thought. Where The Goths, invaded Italy, from the North. Destroying the Roman Empire.
As with The British Empire. We were dogged by The Germans, maybe fighting for their dinner.
I only met 3 or 4 Germans in my whole life. But there's loads of Polish here in England. I am interested to listen to foreign media.
I enjoyed watching Despacio. The Spanish song.
It's a fun way to become familiar with a foreign language.
Can you recommend any foreign media in German and Spanish?
Crazy! I heard this song on a beach last summer for the first time! Can you beleive it! I fell for it immediatly! You can hear all the sounds of NYC and feel it's tolerance. And then, I read the story of the authentic English gentleman in NYC. That man has inspiring life story for all of us who feel different from the rest of the crowd. Thank you Sting for leaving the endless mark of that man.
Hello Jasmina 👋 how are you !
Oh my goodness, I'm sad you went this long in life without hearing this song! Hope you heard something special in it like the rest of us did. Please listen to the rest of the album if you haven't already, it's fucking transcendent.

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
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 ;)
Sting is a real hero of me. The music he’s created over the years, I don’t really listen to it. But fact he’s making it, I respect that.

They just don't make music like this anymore. I'm only 18 but I can remember my parents playing sting when I was a child and thank god! Because now I appreciate good music!
Same with my 26-years-old brother. I feel sorry about who doesn't have anybody to show them those songs.
Çisem Usta, don't feel sorry. My parents listen to shitty music, but I managed to listen to good one like this. Kids these days can pretty much be autodidact, they can find good music to listen all by themselves.
But people teach them shitty music as good music. They don't have too many options to choose in that way. I mean, I saw lots of people who think Lovefool is JB's song, not The Cardigans...
Çisem Usta Bull. There are plenty of options. You have the internet, therefore no excuse not to explore different artists.
I agree with Jurek009. "Love Me" is not JB's song either. It was originally written by Natalie Burke, if I remember correctly and it was used in the sims 2 game. Nobody told me that. I found out all by myself. The conclusion is you don't have to listen to the shitty music people teach you to!
damn i love the jazz in this song

I'm 49 years old, and this is the first time I've ever heard this song. I know Sting, and I know The Police. But never got into his discography. I typed a search for something unrelated and this one showed up with 282M views on it, so obviously had to check it out. What an arrangement! So smooth, so catchy too! Can't believe my ears had never heard this before.

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 was born 6 years after its release, but I grew up with that song. My parents kept playing it over and over again. I connect soooo many memories with it. Love it.

Hello ✋
Merci, merci pour votre effort cher monsieur💌 Ne parlant que gaulois je suis allée voir sur youyou la traduction. Pas étonnée du tout, c'est bien ce que mon esprit avait perçu. Un gentleman sans sa canne qui se ballade dans les rues d'une ville étrange. "Je ne bois pas de café je prends du thé, mon cher". Si les manières font l'homme etc... Sauf que ça fait un bail que l'Amérique a subordonné nos contrées. Le parapluie est devenu ridicule même par temps de pluie, de même pour les chapeaux pourtant si seyants 👒Ce que le monde est devenu s'étale sans vergogne sous nos yeux égarés. "Cela forge un homme de tolérer l'ignorance en souriant". J'y pense fort my dear, j'y pense... Clap de fin 🎬Redire mon affection pour Sting serait redondant. Mais je m'en fout. "Moi je m'balance, dégrafez tous les cols blancs de vos consciences , moi j'men balance, mon lit est assez grand pour des milliers d'amants" Ecoutez Barbara 🐬
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
Beautiful story, hope you guys are doing better now, safer. Like the other comment, wish you both the best.

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.
spurgt
i only remember the instrument sounds😆

Hey Mark, nice to see you here, too!
What a walkout Tom had; saw it from the barstool seats and still had chills.
Stop glazing
@@mistasauce5486”stop glazing” ☝️🤓
@@mistasauce5486You're here for the same reason he is.
Great music choice.
interim lol,
The fact that this song was released in 1987 and has such good sound quality must be one of the greatest mysteries of this century.
This song teaches a really important message, which is no matter where you find yourself or what people say about you, always be yourself
Unless you are Fritzl. Then please become someone else
@@bofh BRUH
Amen!!
Agree
It isn`t always wise,horse for courses.
Honestly one of my favorite songs ever. Doesn't get much better than this. I discovered Sting on my own and wow... he knows how to make music, that's for sure.
👍👏👏👏
He's a musical genius!
One of the finest songs in the history of music... A true gem...

Classic. Saw his trio in Port Chester, NY October 13, great sound. Don't need earplugs with this guy!
LYRICS:
I don't take coffee, I take tea, my dear
I like my toast done on one side
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an Englishman in New York
See me walking down Fifth Avenue
A walking cane here at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I'm an Englishman in New York
Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
If "manners maketh man" as someone said
He's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
You could end up as the only one
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
At night a candle's brighter than the sun
Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than a license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run
If "manners maketh man" as someone said
He's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien)
Be yourself no matter what they say (I'm an Englishman in New York)
Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien)
Be yourself no matter what they say (I'm an Englishman in New York)
Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien)
Be yourself no matter what they say (I'm an Englishman in New York)
Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien)
Be yourself no matter what they say (I'm an Englishman in New York)
Be yourself no matter what they say
Well done
Thank you for the lyrics

'Be yourself, no matter what they say'...

@@mykyta1235 I'm sorry that you are still thinking in this way.
Lost my dad in 2015 to cancer, can still hear him singing this song. 💔

Lo siento 😞 pero él está hay contigo aya donde vayas ❤❤
RIP to your Father 🙏🙏
I'm so sorry 😞 R.I.P 💔
This song never gets old. Love the jazz theme in this amazing song.
Sur she does
I knew about this song because of my teacher of esl. I loved it. I like the music video, the songs, the music, everything is wow ❤❤❤
This song has to be one of the most chilling songs ever.
I'd be honored if some Sting fans would take a quick 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 of lyricism and composition. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace and stay safe in the '020s.
Why?
Do you mean calming?
I love it
Love the scar on her eye
"be yourself no matter what they say"
you're right
It's a beautiful even in 2022, that's what a classic song is meant to be, beautiful forever
Very deep lyrics, I can never have enough of this song. Hard to believe it was released in 1987 and I missed this song for all these years! God bless TH-cam and whoever uploaded it. :) Have been hearing it again and again since I discovered it a couple of years ago.
Just saw Sting in concert at Jones Beach in NY last night- this song gave me chills, timeless! ❤
Я Вам бесконечно завидую!!!!!!!!!
No other song makes me as proud to be English than this one. Timeless classic.
bruhh
