All Would Envy lyrics

Hi there, Here comes the lyrics of Sting's unreleased song 'All Would Envy' from Chris Botti's latest album 'Night Sessions'. I hope that someone from the list will be able to correct it and fill the missing words I did not understand. All Would Envy Written by Sting Old enough to be her dad But the young men were just melt ??? grievances And she was flattered by his charm It wouldn't do her any harm They all had their chances He sent her flowers and limousines She was treated like a queen Anything she ever wanted It was no problem for a man like him And everyone expected soon That she could ask him for the Moon If she would wear his ring Knowing ??? from his friends In the homes ??? to high society But he didn't get there He never felt more like a man And all the time the clock was ticking And all would envy The older man and his beautiful young wife Yes, all would envy In a house upon a hill She was there with time to kill She lived a life she'd only dream And life was never what it seem To all her friends that she ignored She denied that she was born She had no time for dancing (No time for dancing) But the clock upon the wall That was ticking in the hall Always reminded her That life was going on elsewhere But she was happy and she'd swear She wouldn't change a thing And all would envy The older man and his beautiful young wife Yes, all would envy Now it's five o'clock, a yell She must have spent a night again Without a friend of hers (She loves to dance) That she is missing more and more these days But he is still strucking in own ways Perhaps she needs a little more romance But the clock upon the wall Still ticking in the hall She must be gone so soon And where a younger man ??? He takes a pill and goes to sleep Who would envy? The older man and his beautiful young wife Who would envy? Who would envy? Chris Botti: Night Sessions (c) 2001 Sony Music Entertainment Inc. By the way, it's a really beautiful Latin American-flavoured tune sung by Shawn Colvin with featuring musicians like Kipper, Dominic Miller, Vinnie Colaiuta, Christian McBride and Jeff Young.

Art for art's sake (a few thoughts on Sting)
by Michele Piumini 27 Nov '01

Somedude wrote: > Sting likes the pop, and I don't mean pop rock, I mean "I want it that way, tell me why...." pop music. Well, I'm not the kind of fan who will worship his favourite singers whatever they do (I used to be a huge fan of U2, but from Zooropa on they've just kept on letting me down), but I honestly believe saying this is going *a bit* too far. First of all, I don't need to tell you what I think about the Backstreet Boys, but I sincerely don't understand all the fuss that Sting singing with them in a TV show has caused. I mean, would you prefer a Sting who only accepts to feature in a show if his favourite musicians are in it? Would you prefer a haughty Sting saying "I'm the best, I'm a god, so I won't sully my golden reputation by performing with such mean individuals as the Backstreet Boys"? I wouldn't. He joined (and was joined by) them in a couple of songs in a show, that's all. Is it such a scandal? Does it mean he appreciates their music and sees them as a model to follow? I don't think so. As to his "pop" music being comparable to the BSB's one, if you aren't joking I respect your opinion but I can't quite conceive how such a thing can be said. We've often heard him say that his artistic aim is to make music which defies categorization. And, IMO, he succeeds in it. Sting's music isn't pure rock, it isn't pure jazz, it isn't pure anything. So "pop" comes as a comfortable term to refer to it, but only because it is so complex and hybrid that no precise word is available. Do you honestly believe the same can be said of BSB? Clarissa wrote: > My Jupiter-sized blind spot doesn't prevent me from rolling my eyes a bit when he does yet another corporate sponsorship thing, but it does make me buy every single Sting CD I can get my hands on, gaze adoringly at pictures, go to concerts (except I've only been to two--probably about thirty less than the average person on this list) and so forth. And I will also admit that I am sensitive when it comes to criticism of Sting. It's stupid, but there you are. At the same time, I don't worship his personality. I don't worship his personality either, but for this very reason I don't care too much about the corporate sponsorship things he does. Again, Sting is not a god, he's a musician: it is for his music that he should be judged. As long as he makes music that I love as I've done till now, he will be my favourite singer. I mean, I don't refrain from buying a CD by someone if he/she has such-and-such political ideas or behaves in such-and-such a way. One of the zillion reasons why I love Sting is that music is an aim to him, not a medium. Although he's tried to convey social and political messages with some of his past songs, he treats music for what it is: art. He tries to make art, that is, to create beauty regardless of the messages his lyrics may try to express. He does so, much unlike Rage Against the Machine, Beastie Boys, Manu Chao and dozens of Italian musicians I won't mention because luckily you're very unlikely to have ever heard of them. Terrence wrote: > Sting's music is computer driven, The last time I checked Mucicians were human, Not machines!!! I too tend to prefer humanly played music, but I think opposing unconditionally to any use of computer in music is a bit limitating. Squarepusher's music is computer driven, Howie B's music is computer driven, not Sting's, IMO. He makes (relative) use of the computer both live and in the studio just as he uses any other musical instrument. I've been a fan of his for nearly 14 years, and I honestly doubt he will ever push his use of computer as far as to make his music computer driven. (BTW, Terrence, he's my drummers' top 5: Stewart, Vinnie, Omar, Manu, Abe). Thanks for reading and sorry for being so long. Michele

for sale on eBay (the WPLJ win-only radio concert) http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1303023666 I have nothing to do with the auction, I just thought it was interesting. Maybe some NY folks would be interested. They are certainly cheaper so far than Vegas tickets. ;) Maggie

Hello, Please forgive me if I simply have a bad memory but is the above person a list member? And if so, are you sending attachments to the list? I've received two notes (different ones this time) and both keep telling me to open a "HAMSTER.doc.pif" file. IS this intentional? Please note, effective immediately, please change my e-mail address from "rossviner(a)home.com" to "rossviner(a)shaw.ca" Thanks.

Re: [Police] Last Exit CDs or tracks

Sorry, > I don't know much about Last Exit, but thought > they might be worth listening to (after all, it > IS Sting). > > Thanks ahead, Lior. Hey, I asked about Last Exit songs a while back myself, and received no answers unfortunately. I remember something about someone finding some old reel to reel tapes with their recordings. I know at least one promotional 45rpm record was made--since by chance and some cost, I found it on auction. Sting's voice was really different back then, at one point with that vocal range of his--he sounded like a female soul singer. ;) I'd be happy to tape the two songs from record for you. I'd be even happier to have more of their music. With better promotion, and a little more desire by the group--I think Last Exit could have been very successful.
