I post this not only because I like The Police in their later days, but because of a good story Sting told a few years ago on VH1's Storytellers. He mentioned that he'd gotten all kinds of notes and comments from couples telling him this was "their song", that it had been played at their weddings, etc. Sting's reply was one of surprise, as the song was actually written to describe obsession and control, rather than love. Go figure.

Sting - Burn For You Live
This is from the "Bring On The Night" film/video...released in conjunction with the formation of the Dream Of The Blue Turtles band. Although the video is a tad over-dramatic in this respect, it truly was a leap for Sting to leave the shell of The Police and introduce millions of fans to jazz. Omar Hakim plays a huge solo on this...Branford Marsalis and the late Kenny Kirkland are here too.
Sting...a very talented guy...
Sting's "Shape of My Heart" from "Ten Summoners Tales"...a video that was shot during the recording sessions for the CD. Sadly, it has never been released on DVD as of 2006. Really a well done video.
