Sting - Down So Long

Текст песни: The sun sets across the ocean I'm a thousand mile from anywhere And my pocketbook and my heart Both just got stolen And the sun act like she don't even care The wind blows cold when you reach the top Feels like somebody's face is stuck to the bottom of my shoe Got a plastic Jesus, a cordless telephone for every corner of my room Got everybody but you tellin' me what to do Well I've been down so long It can't be that much longer still And I've been down for so long That the end must be drawing near I looked to everybody but me To answer my prayers Until I found an angel in the bathroom Who said she didn't see anybody who was saving anywhere And the blind man said, "Simple... like flipping a coin - Don't matter what side it lands on So long as it's somebody else's dime" Cause if you're the top of the bottom It all feels the same We live out of fear if we're too rich or we're too poor Guess all I can do is muster up some change And a little bit of faith And take some dignity when I walk through this door Gonna take a trip Catch a train Got a ticket in my hand And then a fat man takes my money And like cattle we all stand I'm just a faceless body lost in this vast and worthless sea In a thousand people I do not know But really they are no different from me They all have passion They all have fear They all have intense confusion And no sweet moments that are clear They all have aspirations High hopes and dreams And are really that alone like me We've been down so long It can't be that much longer still We've been down so long That the end must be... The end must be... The end must be drawing near

Sting – <p><span style="color: #252525;">British rock musician and actor, leader of The Police in 1976-1984. Since 1984 he has been performing solo.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">The musician was born on October 2, 1951 in the port town of Wallsend in the north of England.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">Ernest&#39;s father Matthew Sumner worked for many years as a fitter at a local engineering company. He later bought a small dairy shop. As a child, Sting often helped his father deliver milk in the morning.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">Audrey&#39;s mother worked as a hairdresser and nurse. She had a classical music education and was able to develop her son&#39;s natural abilities by teaching him to play the piano at home. Gordon was the eldest of four children in the family. He also has younger sisters Anita, Angela and brother Philip.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">In 1977 drummer Stuart Copeland, guitarist Andy Summers and Sting formed The Police. The first two singles, &quot;Fall Out&quot; and &quot;Roxanne&quot;, were unsuccessful until they were heard by entrepreneur Miles Copeland (Stewart&#39;s older brother). Released in April 1979, &quot;Roxanne&quot; rose to number 12 in Britain and became a European hit. The first success was followed by the albums &quot;Reggatta de Blanc&quot;, &quot;Zenyattà Mondatta&quot;, &quot;Ghost in the Machine&quot; and &quot;Synchronicity&quot; (with the mega-hit &quot;Every Breath You Take&quot;). After a triumphant world tour in 1984, Sting decided that he had achieved everything he could with the group, and the group disbanded at the peak of its popularity.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">Sting&#39;s independent career was no less successful. His first album with jazz elements, The Dream of the Blue Turtles, went platinum. The single from this album was the song “Russians”.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">In 1987, after a tour with The Dream of the Blue Turtles, Sting recorded an album ... Nothing Like the Sun / The song &quot;They Dance Alone (Cueca Solo)&quot; was especially popular. The Soul Cages (1991), which coincided with the loss of his parents, and Ten Summoner&#39;s Tales (1993) introduced Sting as a mature composer.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">In 1991 Sting released the autobiographical album The Soul Cages, from which the single &quot;All This Time&quot; took the fifth place in the top 100 of the Billboard magazine. He continues in that vein with Ten Summoner&#39;s Tales, which includes hits like If I Ever Lose My Faith in You and Fields of Gold. Mercury Falling was not as successful as Ten Summoner&#39;s Tales, but The title track from his new album Brand New Day proved that Sting is still capable of producing hits.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">The events of September 11, 2001, deeply affected Sting. Recorded in the first half of 2003 in Paris, the album &quot;Sacred Love&quot; bears a clear imprint of the events in the world at that time. Sting&#39;s lyrics touch upon the themes of war, religion, understanding and misunderstanding, but the main theme, as the album title suggests, was still love. The song &quot;Send Your Love&quot; from this album brought Sting another Grammy nomination.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">At the end of May 2013, Sting&#39;s official website announced the recording of the new album The Last Ship, which was released on September 24 of the same year [3]. This disc became the musician&#39;s first studio album in the last ten years.</span></p> – Стинг

The sun sets across the ocean
I'm a thousand mile from anywhere
And my pocketbook and my heart
Both just got stolen
And the sun act like she don't even care
The wind blows cold when you reach the top
Feels like somebody's face is stuck to the bottom of my shoe
Got a plastic Jesus, a cordless telephone for every corner of my room
Got everybody but you tellin' me what to do

Well I've been down so long
It can't be that much longer still
And I've been down for so long
That the end must be drawing near

I looked to everybody but me
To answer my prayers
Until I found an angel in the bathroom
Who said she didn't see anybody who was saving anywhere
And the blind man said, "Simple... like flipping a coin -
Don't matter what side it lands on
So long as it's somebody else's dime"
Cause if you're the top of the bottom
It all feels the same
We live out of fear if we're too rich or we're too poor
Guess all I can do is muster up some change
And a little bit of faith
And take some dignity when I walk through this door

Gonna take a trip
Catch a train
Got a ticket in my hand
And then a fat man takes my money
And like cattle we all stand
I'm just a faceless body lost in this vast and worthless sea
In a thousand people I do not know
But really they are no different from me
They all have passion
They all have fear
They all have intense confusion
And no sweet moments that are clear
They all have aspirations
High hopes and dreams
And are really that alone like me

We've been down so long
It can't be that much longer still
We've been down so long
That the end must be...
The end must be...
The end must be drawing near
