Sting mărturisește că următorul cîntec a fost inspirat dintr-o tragedie care se află pe paginile Sfintelor Scripturi.
Ghiciți despre ce poveste este vorba? În concertul live de la Berlin deconspiră inclusiv pasajul. Îl poate reda cineva în întregime?
Remix-ul și această orchestrație este realizată de Dominic Miller, chitaristul lui Sting, asupra căruia voi reveni mîine.
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

In concertul de la Berlin, imediat dupa „Mad about you” urmeaza „King of pain”, fara nicio introducere. Probabil chiar e o legatura, lucru despre care scriati si dvs., doar ca nu mai gasesc articolul.
2 Samuel 11:14-15 „And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent [it] by the hand of Uriah. And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die”
a dus la căderea lui David şi implicit la…
„”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?”
deşi sunt voci care fac trimitere şi la o posibilă legătură cu Ozymandias a lui Percy Bysshe Shelley…
Osea?
David.
Initial m-am gandit la Paltiel cand i-a fost luata Mical – dar nu se legau lucrurile, pentru ca Paltiel nu era rege.
Cred că e vorba de Solomon și Sulamita, dar s-ar putea să dau greș.. Chiar că m-ați făcut curios acuma))
nu, de taică=său e vorba
ca o concluzie, probabil ca CINEVA nu e prea incintat; pedeapsa vine in capitolul 12..
