Sting berlin why should i cry for you

Why must I? Why would you want me to? And what would it mean to say, That, 'I loved you in my fashion'? What would be true? The video for this was here at one time. It was beautiful. The song is still beautiful, but the video added something. That's too bad. I remember seeing the Video Then you are in for a genuine treat when you see him play as I did in The most electrifying performance you will ever see in your life, if you live to be a million. Buy the Berlin live DVD.

That was the concert I saw in Melbourne. And I saw dream of the blue turtles in Trust me on this. You will never forget it. You do know you can buy it from Amazon. I have it. I also saw the live show. He's talking about the fact that YT removed the live video. It used to be here more than a year ago. Under the dog star sail Over the reefs of moonshine Under the skies of fall North, north west, the Stones of Faroe.

Judith Vizgarra. Lions Redemption. Rosa Diletta. Zore Ivo. John Thomas. Pamela Quiroga. Helena Carvalho. Erwin Rommel. Deborah Luptak. Thomas Lewis. Grunthos The Flatulent. What I think the song is about is hurting from a lost love, and the sailing reference is a brilliant use of words to denote lonlieness and struggle.

The Dog Star or Sirius is the brightest star in the Northern Hemisphere, and was often used in navigation. Chasing the Dog Star can also mean chasing an unattainable goal. Sting could be referencing this as it being impossible to get rid of his hurt, though he tries with all his might.

The other sailing references "hauling on frozen ropes for all my days remaining" is another metaphor meaning an unpleasant struggle that he cant ever see himself completing. Sting could be saying that when everything bleeds to red, everything is becoming a blur, and that it leaves him numb and hence "asleep" or just going through the motions, drifting in his lonliness forever.

But would north be true? Dark angels follow me Over a godless sea Mountains of endless falling, For all my days remaining, This next part Sting is saying to himself If I had done things differently could things have been different. Then he is expressing emotions of possibly anger, by saying why should I cry for you, when you rejected me? Possibly even a little bit of depair, as in saying what is the point of it all. He is haunted by these Demons "Dark Angels" and he may even be feeling like God is against him, or at least the fates.

He is a lost man for eternity. And what would it mean to say, That, I loved you in my fashion"? Sting is saying that the memories are so painful, and that his love is so great for them that nothing else matters. He then goes on to ask himself why he has to torture himself like this, especially when they have moved on with their life.

Finally he is saying I loved you the best way I knew how, why wasnt that good enough? This is one of my favorite songs from Sting. I think the lyrics and dreamy music mix perfectly to make a hauntingly brilliant song, guaranteed to hit anyone in the gut who has really experienced a trully heartbreaking end to a romance. There was an error. I like your interpretation.

I would just like to att that in in Berlin, Sting had a little intro to the song, where he said that the song was to his father, as if he had followed his father's wishes and gone to sea. Play from en. Kind regards from the Faroe Islands. The sole proprietor of truth. But not a word you said is correct. General Comment Once again Sting wrote a real poem.

The lyrics alone can bring tears to your eyes and even more so if you know under which circumstances the song was written!

What I find interesting and what hasn't been mentioned yet: I think we agree that the sea in general and the North Atlantic here in particular are symbols of sadness and loneliness. Then I would translate the "Would north be true? Doesn't life go on? Was the person I lost worth all this? As Sting seems to like quoting Shakespeare, do you think he's refering to the famous Hamlet quote "I am but mad north-north-west, when the wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a handsaw"?

It could be a hint that he's temporarily mad, caused by all the pain he's going through. WhiteWolfDief on June 26, Link. Dark angels follow me Over a godless sea Mountains of endless falling, For all my days remaining, waywardtom on May 23, General Comment Ok, sailing as a metaphor.

It's really not an uncommon literary theme. The wanderer, the sea-farer, searching, alone, out on the cold, impersonal seas. It's NOT about sailing. It is about love lost. Could be a lover that died or merely a relationship that ended which he still longs for.

Both interpretations can apply. Well, as long as it isn't taken so literally. No Replies Log in to reply. General Comment i think lordfinx had a fantastic breakdown of the song. To add, regarding the verses: "Sometimes I see your face, The stars seem to lose their place Why must I think of you?

He speaks of "why would North be True? Then he mentions when he see's this person's face the stars seem to lose their place, maybe North really isn't truw, as if he loses his focus and where he's going physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually?

Things stop making sense which is a lot of what someone feels when they lose someone whether it's a loss in death or a loss of a love. What i find very interesting, and this may be delving too deep, is that The Dog Star has a companion star, they perpetually revolve around eachother General Comment Why should I cry for you when I'm the one who has to keep on living this tortured life?

The dead should be crying for us. Dark angels follow me Over a godless sea Mountains of endless falling, For all my days remaining, denverized on February 03, Link. Memory I love this song though I haven't listened it for a while, like several years.

Just right after the death of love of my life a month ago, I heard it again through radio. I never said I love him though I fell in love with him 20 years ago. And I knew I'd never say it to him or to anyone. But I also knew that I love him until I die.
