Just to add to what you were saying, Josh, don't forget Beneath A Desert Moon - another fantastic b-side from Mercury Falling.  Also, The End of the Game from BND has to be one of my favourite Sting songs of all times.
 
Cheers,

Subject: [Police] Dig out your b-sides

Hey everyone. While finally unpacking more of my cd's after moving, I came across my You Still Touch Me.
It has the title track, Lullaby To An Anxious Child, The Pirates Bride, and 25 to Midnight.
For all the debate about Sting recent solo albums (recent like 10 years recent), I really suggest to dig out this single or to listen to the four songs on it in one sitting. With the exception of Inside & Stolen Car, I believe that I would trade all of Sacred Love for the four songs mentioned above. Still hard to imagine that the same person wrote The Pirates Bride and one track later wrote 25 to midnight.
 
Does anyone know if there are ANY live versions of Pirates Bride. I don't have any and a search is turning up empty. Anyone? Bueller?

PS- If you like Sacred Love better than Mercury Falling, that's your opinion. Years down the line, I think MF stands out as a great album. It's one of my favorites..Probably tied with TSC, TST, NLTS, & Turtles. BND is second with Sacred Love a distant third.
