Versuri sting why should i cry for you

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?

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.

Only imagined was that when I die, I die with this love in my heart. I never had this concrete feeling over anything in my life. Now I'm lost and drift towards unknown, rest of my life. No matter what Sting meant, this song is completely my feelings towards him now and ever. I was touched enough by your comment that I was compelled to create an account just to respond-- but now I don't know what to say.

It is surprising how satisfying it was to recognize that someone enjoyed a song and felt an emotion in almost the same way that I did. I feel less lonely tonight. I think I fantasized about being a musician. In fact, the only ever he gave me one piece of advice. I think what he meant was he wanted me to have an exciting life.

In the video version after the words "i was a musician on a cruise ship" he says "I fucking hated it". Awesome concert :. Under the dog star sail Over the reefs of moonshine Under the skies of fall North, north west, the stones of Faroe Under the Arctic fire Over the seas of silence Hauling on frozen ropes For all my days remaining But would north be true?

All colors bleed to red Asleep on the ocean's bed Drifting on empty seas For all my days remaining But would north be true? Why should I? Why should I cry for you?

Dark angels follow me Over a godless sea Mountains of endless falling, For all my days remaining, What would be true? Sometimes I see your face, The stars seem to lose their place Why must I think of you? Why must I? Why would you want me to? Add Comment. Sister Moon live 2. We'll Be Together 3. Why Should I Cry for You? Cheeeek that out dude. Lead RIFFs:.

Bad selection. Save Cancel. Really delete this comment? Writing in a collection of his annotated lyrics, Sting elaborated upon how the death of his father first crippled his songwriting but eventually inspired The Soul Cages.

I felt emotionally and creatively paralysed, isolated, and unable to mourn. I just felt numb and empty, as if the joy had been leached out of my life. Eventually, I talked myself into going back to work, and this sombre collection of songs was the result. I became obsessed with my hometown and its history, images of boats and the sea, and my childhood in the shadow of the shipyards.
