[Police] Bethlehem Down - are these the lyrics? Cold Mountain song lyrics?
by Marisa Meisters 18 Dec '03

18 Dec '03

Hello, For those of you who are fortunate enough to have heard Sting's Bethlehem Down on the Best Buy CD, can you confirm if these are the lyrics to the song that Sting sings? Also, does anyone have the lyrics for the new song that Sting wrote for the Cold Mountain soundtrack? Thanks, Marisa http://www.stingetc.com Bethlehem Down "When He is King we will give Him the Kings' gifts, Myrrh for its sweetness, and gold for a crown, Beautiful robes," said the young girl to Joseph, Fair with her firstborn on Bethlehem Down. Bethlehem Down is full of the starlight, Winds for the spices, and stars for the gold, Mary for sleep, and for lullaby music Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem fold. When He is King, they will clothe Him in gravesheets, Myrrh for embalming, and wood for a crown, He that lies now in the white arms of Mary Sleeping so lightly on Bethlehem Down. Here He has peace and a short while for dreaming, Close huddled oxen to keep Him from cold, Mary for love, and for lullaby music Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem fold.

opening act
by Mr. Absolute Objectivity 18 Dec '03

the question is whether sting's music will ever make sense...ever.... especially this album? There you have it, folks -- The POLICE rock, not necessarily Sting in his solo act. When everyone stops expecting Sting to be the Police, maybe the music will make more sense. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!

Opening Act
by Sweetmomb＠cs.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I wonder if this is all part of the evolution of Sting? I think it was interesting that when I was opening my e-mail, I opened the one that was critical of Chris Botti's style ("elevator music" or something), and the very next one I opened was from the "Stung" mailing list, whose motto is "Reminding the world that the Police rock!" There you have it, folks -- The POLICE rock, not necessarily Sting in his solo act. When everyone stops expecting Sting to be the Police, maybe the music will make more sense. Having said that.... Sting, if you're listening, lose the overproduction. It's one thing to go soft rock instead of rock'n'roll, it's another thing to turn into Cher. And please hold your flames -- I love Sting's melodies and lyrics, I can't stand the Kipperization. Holly

Another way to get Bethlehem Down
by TaoofKim＠aol.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Just wanted to let people know there is another way to get the "Sweet Tracks" at Best Buy including "Bethlehem Down" by Sting. You don't have to be a member of the frequent buyer club. I went to Best Buy tonight and put one on the counter with my other purchases, hoping to do what another list member did and "scam" a copy. (Only because I couldn't legitimately buy it.) When the teller picked it up my heart sank when she asked if I was a member of the program. I said no and ask her if I could buy it, or if there was any other way I could get it. She said they have some displayed in another area that are marked "Free Gift with a $35 purchase of CD's DVD's or video games." I was buying three CD's as Christmas presents so I was covered and got it for free. It's the same CD in the same peppermin tin, it just has a different sticker on it. I was pleasantly surprised and wanted to share it with everyone here. Surely I am not the only one still trying to finish up my Christmas shopping. (I hope!) Although, on a personal note I have an very good excuse. My husband and I are expecting our first child and we just found it it's twins! Merry Christmas! KIM

I have to agree with Maggie. Much as I like Chris Botti, I like a certain amount of inertia before the main act. But at the same time, he really shouldn't be relegated to sideman status at this point in his career (I was actually surprised someone of his stature was a band member for so long during the BND tour), and I wonder if him potentially sitting in with Sting's band during the main set was dependent on getting the opening slot as a solo act. Or maybe it was just easier to have a member of "the family" take the slot. Ooooh, I'm so cynical....
