斯汀 Sting      http://wchjiang.myrice.com/sicon/images/Sting.JPG
斯汀（原名Gordon Mattew Summer）。
1951年10月2日出生于沃尔森（Wallsend），
斯汀第一次接触乐器是他叔叔迁居加拿大所
留下的吉它。在这把只乘下五根长满锈的琴
弦的西班牙吉它上，斯汀的手指找到了一个
音乐的归宿，他与吉它形影不离，经常弹奏
“披头士”和“滚石”，后来更迷上蓝调，
从此他对音乐爱不释手。
在一次偶然的机会里，斯汀参与了“凤
凰爵士手”(Phoenix Jazzman）担任贝司副
手。有一回贝司手安尼（Ernie）临时缺席，
斯汀总算有机会好好表现一下。结果整个舞
台为之疯狂， 从那时起他改名为Sting，在
音乐中寻求未来的发展。 1977年1月警察乐
团（The Police）在伦敦成功成立，斯汀在
其中担任主唱和贝司手，其他成员有史都华
（Stewart Armstrong Copeland），亨利·
帕度交尼（Henri Padovani），安迪·桑玛
（Andy Summers）。翌年冬“警察”发行了
第一张专辑《Outlandosdi Amour》， 销售
成绩相当不错，在英国得到双白金唱片，在
美国得到金唱片，接下来的四张专辑也分别
在英，美获得了双白金和金唱片以上的成绩，
并且屡获葛莱美殊荣。
歌坛上有许多乐团正在走红时却面临解
散，“警察”也难逃此运，但这并没有影响
到斯汀的音乐生涯。因为斯汀在“警察”时
表现得太出色了，歌迷的眼光仍会继续投注
在他身上。在1985年首张专辑《The Dream
of Blue Turtles》中， 斯汀完整地展现出
他的音乐理念，同时也述说了他的情感世界：
如《If You Love Somebody Set Them Free
》，86年的《Bring on the Night》是一张
演唱会的专辑，虽只在少数国家发行，但仍
让斯汀多添一座葛莱美奖。87年《Nothing
Like the Sun》是一张大手笔之作，不少艺
人前来助兴， 当中除了《Little Wing》是
取自吉米·汉德利克斯（Jimi Hendrix）作
品外，其余都是斯汀一手包办词曲。斯汀还
特别附注说明写每首曲子的灵感与动机为何，
他已深深地将心之所感溢于其作品中。91年，
斯汀又推出了专辑《Soul Cages》。93年的
《Ten Summer';s Tale》 又带我们堕进一种
热闹过尽的落寞气氛中。在这张专辑中，史
汀较重人性化的表现，因他的说法是“科技
的迅速发展和教会对人本性的禁制，两者皆
能使人对本身的价值失去信心”。为了重建
人性的价值，斯汀写成了《If I Ever Lose
My Faith In You》，歌词中延续了他的感
悟：“If I ever lose my faith in you,
There';d be nothing left for me to do.
（如果我对你失去信心，我再可有什么作为
？）”简单的歌词却道出了现代人的迷惘。
斯汀的作品总是有足够的力量去推动一
个个死寂的心灵，他不经意地吟唱着一些反
映现实的诗句，创作着一个斯汀的气氛。史
汀的环境构筑的世界，充满了艺术气质的感
染力。
A Thousand Years （点击下载）
A thousand years, a thousand more
A thousand times a million doors to eternity
I may have lived a thousand lives
a thousand times An endless turning stairway climbs
To a tower of souls If it takes another thousand years
a thousand wars, The towers rise to numberless floors in space
I could shed another million tears
a million breaths, A million names but only one truth to face
A million roads, a million fears A million suns
ten million years of uncertainty I could speak a million lies
a million songs
A million rights
a million wrongs in this balance of time But if there was a single truth
a single light A single thought
a singular touch of grace Then following this single point
this single flame
The single haunted memory of your face I still love you I still want you A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves Like galaxies in my head I may be numberless
I may be innocent I may know many things
I may be ignorant Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands I could be cannon food
destroyed a thousand times Reborn as fortune';s child to judge another';s crimes Or wear this pilgrim';s cloak
or be a common thief I';ve kept this single faith
I have but one belief I still love you I still want you A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves Like galaxies in my head On and on the mysteries unwind themselves Eternities still unsaid ';Til you love me

After The Rain Has Fallen
The palace guards are all sleeping Their fires burn into the night
There';s a threat of rain on the dark horizon
And all that’s left is a quarter moon of light He climbs up through the darkness
No weapon but his surprise The greatest thief in the high Sahara Enters the room where a sleeping princess lies
All your money
your pretty necklace
This is my work on such a night
There';s a storm coming over the mountain
I';ll be gone long before the morning After the rain has fallen After the tears have washed your eyes You find that
I';ve take nothing, that Love can';t replace in the blink of an eye
He was as gentle as the night wind
As no lover had been before
And the rings she wore for her bride groom
Slipped from her fingers and fell to the floor Take me with you
take me with you
Before my lonely life is set I';ve been promised to another
To a man I';ve never even met After the rain has fallen
After the tears have washed your eyes
You';ll find that I’ve take nothing, that Love can';t replace in the blink of an eye
After the thunder';s spoken, and
After the lightning bolt';s been hurled
After the dream is broken, there’ll
Still be love in the world
She said take me to another life
Take me for a pirate’s wife
Take me where the wind blows
Take me where the red wine flows Take me to the danger
Take me to the life of crime Take me to the stars
Take me to the moon while we still have time
After the rain has fallen
After the tears have washed your eyes
You';ll find that I';ve taken nothing, that Love can';t replace in the blink of an eye
After the thunder';s spoken, and After the lightning bolt';s been hurled
After the dream is broken, there’ll
Still be love in the world
Still be love in the world

All This Time
I looked out across The river today, I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower Where the seagulls play. I saw the sad shire horses walking home In the sodium light I saw two priests on the ferry October geese on a cold winter’s night And all this time, the river flowed Endlessly to the sea. Two priests came round our house tonight One young, one old, to offer prayers for the dying To serve the final rite, One to learn, one to teach, Which way the cold wind blows Fussing and flapping in priestly black Like a murder of crows And all this time, the river flowed Endlessly to the sea If I had my way I’d take a boat from the river And I’d bury the old man, I’d bury him at sea Blessed are the poor, for they shall inherit the earth Better to be poor than a fat man in the eye of a needle And as these words were spoken I swear I hear The old man laughing, ’What good is a used up world, and how could it be worth having’ And all this time the river flowed Endlessly like a silent tear And all this time the river flowed Father, if Jesus exists, Then how come he never lived here. The teacher told us, the Romans built this place They built a wall and a temple, an edge of the empire Garrison town, They lived and they died, they prayed to their gods But the stone gods did not make a sound And their empire crumbled, ’til all that was left Were the stones the workmen found And all this time the river flowed In the falling light of a northern sun If I had my way I’d take a boat from the river Men go crazy in congregations But they only get better One by one One by one...

Big Lie， Small World
I sat down and wrote this letter Telling you that I felt better Since you’d gone and I was free I’m so happy I have so little time to spare now I’m wanted almost everywhere now I make out like Casanova Friends are always coming over I signed my name as if I meant it Sealed it with a kiss and sent it The letter had improved my mood Happy in my solitude But halfway home I changed my tune And when I saw my lonely room The mirror caught my eye When I sit down I cry Big lie, small world Big lie, small world I had to intercept that letter Telling you that I was better I raced to catch the postman’s van He was leaving as I ran I miss the bus I miss the train I end up walking in the rain Big dog chased me down the street I hadn';t had a bite to eat Feeling sorry for myself Wishing I was someone else I walked across the city ';Cause I couldn’t stand your pity Big lie, small world Big lie, small world The place you live looks opulent And obviously a higher rent Than our cosy little room I had this sense of doom The landlord says you’re out of town That your new boyfriend’s always around The hour was getting late So I sit down and wait Here’s the postman with my letter Coming down the path, he’d better Give that thing to me I have to make him see Begging doesn’t do the trick He thinks that I’m a lunatic And then who comes upon the scene But your new boyfriend Mr. Clean I hit the postman, hit your lover Grabbed the letter ran for cover The police arrived in time for tea Said they’d like to question me I can only curse my fate I have to face the magistrate It hasn’t been the best of days I’d like to fly away Big lie, small world Big lie, small world

Brand New Day
How many of you people out there Been hurt in some kind of love affair? And how many times did you swear That you’d never love again? How many lonely, sleepless nights? How many lies, how many fights? And why would you want to Put yourself through all of that again? Love is pain I hear you say Love is a cruel and bitter way of Paying you back for all the faith you ever had in your brain How could it be that what you need the most Can leave you feeling just like a ghost? You never want to feel so sad and lost again One day you could be looking Through an old book in rainy weather You see a picture of her smiling at you When you were still together You could be walking down the street And who should you chance to meet? But that same old smile you’ve been thinking of all day? Why don';t we turn the clock to zero honey? I’ll sell the stock we’ll spend all the money We';re starting up a brand new day Turn the clock all the way back I wonder if she’ll take me back I’m thinking in a brand new way Turn the clock to zero sister You’ll never know how much I missed her Starting up a brand new day Turn the clock to zero boss The rivers wide we’ll swim across We';re starting up a brand new day It could happen to you Just like it happened to me There is simply no immunity There';s no guarantee I say love is such a force if you find yourself in it You need some time for reflection You say, baby wait a minute, wait a minute Wait a minute, wait a minute Wait a minute, wait a minute Turn the clock to zero honey I’ll sell the stock we’ll spend all the money We';re starting up a brand new day Turn the clock to zero Mac I';m begging her to take me back I’m thinking in a brand new way Turn the clock to zero boss The rivers wide we';ll swim across Starting up a brand new day Turn the clock to zero buddy Don’t wanna be no fuddy duddy We';re Starting up a brand new day I’m the rhythm in your tune I’m the sun and you’re the moon I’m the bat and you’re the cave You’re the beach and I’m the wave I’m the plough and you';re the land You’re the glove and I’m the hand I’m the train and you’re the station I’m the flagpole to your nation I';m the present to your future You';re the wound and I';m the suture You';re the magnet to my pole I';m the devil in your soul You';re the pupil I';m the teacher You';re the church and I';m the preacher You';re the flower I';m the rain You';re the tunnel I';m the train Stand up, all you lovers in the world Stand up and be counted, every boy and every girl Stand up, all you lovers in the world We';re starting up a brand new day You';re the crop to my rotation You';re the sum of my equation I';m the answer to your question If you follow my suggestion We could turn this ship around And go up instead of down You';re the pan and I';m the handle You';re the flame and I';m the candle Stand up, all you lovers in the world Stand up and be counted, every boy and every girl Stand up, all you lovers in the world Starting up a brand new day
