Free Music Notes for You Still Touch Me / Lullaby to an Anxious Child
Free Music Review: One Of Stings Best
Hit: 5 Stars
I love B sides from an album. They always give you insight into the artists thoughts. Since we don't always get the full line up in the U.S. I'm thrilled to find so called singles to go with albums that I have purchased. The Pirates Bride is one of the most beautiful soulful songs Sting has ever written, and you have got to feel so moved by these thoughts in this song. Lulluby To An Anxious Child, a collaboration with Dominic Miller, is almost an apology to a child for the world being not quite right and is also truly beautiful. Twenty Five To Midnight rocks and almost sounds autobiographical if you have ever read Stings book Broken Music. You Still Touch Me definetly
not a B side and a mild hit on Mercury Falling. It is also a wonderful song with fantastic lyrics and Romantic as ever.You won't be sorry with this 4 song single it's worth every bit as much as the rest of the album.
Free Music Review: A fine edition to Mercury Falling
Hit: 5 Stars
Although "You Still Touch Me" is _the_ R&B hit off of Mercury Falling, it is the "extras" on this single that make it worthwhile to own. "Lullaby to an Anxious Child" is a very sweet tune cowritten by Sting and Dominic Miller. "Pirate's Bride" showcases the talents of Kenny Kirkland. Sting hasn't written a piece so lush and reminiscent of the sea since the Soul Cages album. This track would have been a better addition to Mercury Falling than "Valparaiso". The "25 to Midnight" track was included in the foreign issues of Mercury Falling, and its absence from the US release is a mystery to me. It would have helped make a good album a very good album.Free Music Review: Too good for radio!
Hit: 5 Stars
All four of these songs are amazing! "You Still Touch Me" is an upbeat track included on the album "Mercury Falling". "Twenty-Five to Midnight" is an equally impressive song with a similar tempo. The two remaining tracks on this CD are simply beautiful. "Lullaby to an Anxious Child" implies an almost classical music style with beautifully dark sounding melody. "Pirate's Bride", one of my favorite Sting songs, is arguably the most brilliantly crafted song ever recorded. Every part of the melody is perfect. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of romantic tragedy. A piano adds some classical and jazz subtleties to this beautiful masterpiece.Free Music Review: Serious Sting fans, do pass this one up
Hit: 5 Stars
Albums like this are the reason people go searching for B sides. Truly a crime these were not all added to Mercury Falling, but once you own, they are your own secret treasure.
Do not be surprised if you find yourself memorizing Lullaby and Pirates Bride to lullaby to a loved one. They are simply beautiful.
While not as smooth and sweeping, 25 to Midnight infectiously finishes off the set. One of my favorite overall purchases, much less a favorite Sting album.
If you enjoy this, I'd also highly recommend Brand New Day [SINGLE] (Part 1 with Windmills and End of the Game) by Sting as well and vice versa.
Free Music Review: A Priceless Gem Lost In Obscurity
Hit: 5 Stars
The problem I've had with Sting over the years is that the music which is chosen for radio airplay is oftenly inadequate representations of his best work. What we have in this instance makes even less sense. Here we have a few of the finest songs Sting has ever written appearing as "B-side" tunes on a very hard-to-find CD single, and it's the only way you'll ever hear these songs because they don't even appear on any of his regular albums! I am obviously referring to the songs "Lullaby To An Anxious Child" and "The Pirate's Bride".
Thank you for the music, Sting, but why do you sometimes throw your best music away???
