RE: [Police] MP3 of 'Send Your Love' !!!!

Thanks to Sebastien for sending his love! At first, I thought this didn't sound like a Sting tune. It's a very rhythmic dance tune -- pumping bass, electric guitar, Arabian tinges. It's very different. I don't think it's like anything he's done before. And I'm sure it will get lots of radio airplay. "There's no religion but sex and music..."

Here's another stab at the lyrics: Send Your Love (radio edit) Send your love into the future Send your love into the distant dawn They say your mind is a relay station A mission forward into the unknown (?) We'll send a seed to a distant future And we can watch a galaxy growin' This ain't no time for dialing your power, this ain't no time for hidin' your care Climbin' down from an ivory tower, you've got a stake in the world we ought to share See the stars they're movin' so slowly, but still the earth is movin' so fast Can't you see the moon is so lonely, she's still trapped in the pain of the past This is the time of the world's collidin' This is the time of kingdoms fallin' This is the time when the world's divided time to heed your call Send your love into the future Send your precious love into some distant time I'll fix that moonlit planet with the love of your healin' Send your love Oh, send your love There's no religion but sex and music There's no religion but sound and dancing There's no religion but line and color There's no religion but sacred trance There's no religion but the endless ocean There's no religion but the moon and stars There's no religion but time and motion There's no religion just drive this car (?) I throw a pebble and I watch the ocean I see the ripples vanish in the distance It's just the same with all the emotions It's just the same in every instance There's no religion but the joys of rhythm There's no religion but the rites of spring There's no religion in the path of hate No prayer but the one I sing Send your love into the future Send your precious love into some distant time I'll fix that moonlit planet with the love of your healin' Send your love Oh, send your love There's no religion but sex and music There's no religion that's right or winnin' No religion in the path of hatred Ain't no prayer but the one I'm singin' Send your love Send your love (original transcription from the Usenet, alt.fan.sting newsgroup, made by D.K. "Cat" Kraft)

Interesting star stats Sam! And here's an interesting Fiction Plane article I found on the MTV site. Notice Joe's last statement... "...The pessimistic title of the band's LP provides an indication of the band's worldview and songs like "I Wish I Would Die" and the single "Hate" make their perspective perfectly clear. As chiming guitars crisscross the single's bass-driven melody, Sumner sings, "We're cool and we're different and we hate things ... We hate people." Distrust abounds on "Everybody Lies" and the despair-drenched "Fallow" is a rolling bit of somber groove. Unless Sumner succumbs to an uncharacteristic wave of happiness, he doesn't see his mood changing anytime soon. "One day maybe I'll be all positive and happy and make an album called Stars Are Beautiful, he said. "And we'll just sing lullabies and that would be it." Read The whole article here: http://www.mtv.com/news/yhif/fiction_plane/

This is just beautiful...
by Trini 30 Jun '03

Sting again has shocked his audience and soon everyone will kneel in submission to the king of pain! I only heard the short clip on sting.com but after reading the lyrics, this message is just what the planet needs. Christians hating Muslims and Muslims hating Christians is the order of the day and it is clear this song hits at the core "no religion but sex and music". Anyway, I hated "We'll Be Together" and IMHO, his best album, NLTS followed. The album version of Send Your Love has a flamingo guitar, I just know it will be beautiful, and so will the album. Sting has a knack for surprise and he accomplished his goal yet again! Just drop Manu Katche and bring back Vinnie and you'll make this fan happy. Oh yeah, drop your sound engineer for the tour as well, we need an engineer who understands your vocals is the primary instrument in the mix! --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

Okay...so we can be pretty sure now that (if you believe in reincarnation)--Sting was once a Druid. :D Thanks, Sam.

SLY bass line - not so original
by Gergely.A.Nagy＠gsk.com 30 Jun '03

Hi all, I don't want to be a boring cry baby, but I think I have found a strange coincidence concerning the new song. Have you noticed that the heavy bass line of Sting's Send Your Love Radio Edit (3:38) is extremely similar to the song of Modjo's Lady (Hear Me Tonight). The feeling, the sound, the rhythm and the whole concept behind it. Not so original I think... :(((( I wonder if Sting, Kipper or Chris McBride are aware of this? Let's compare both songs! Take care!
