Hi everybody I just thought it'd be interesting to know what all of you think are the best Sting songs NOT from a studio album. IE b-sides, tribute songs, songs only performed live etc. I started wondering since I've been listening a lot to "A Love Affair - The Music of Ivan Lins" at work lately. "She Walks This Earth" is really an amazing song and Sting's voice is perfect on the recording, I really think it's one of the best vocal performances by Sting ever. Something strange but I feel like I'm in love everytime I hear the song (I am in love, so it's not THAT strange). Anyway here comes my list. Another song that's great is "End of the Game", why, WHY wasn't it on "Brand New Day", it would easily have been the best song on the album. Well, that's my thoughts, here comes my list. 1.. End of the Game 2.. She Walks This Earth 3.. Pirate's Bride 4.. Come Down in Time (Elton John) from the Two Rooms album (I hope that's the name of the album). 5.. Tempted (Squeeze) Only performed live. Ohh, I came to think about another song too. "Another Day" from the "Bring on the Night" album. Is this an original Sting song? If it is, why has he never recorded it for an album? Cheers, Patrik

A studio version of "Another Day" was actually released before "The Dream of The Blue Turtles" album, as the B side of the single "If You love somebody..." and the song has been composed by the man himself. It seems to me that very often Sting non-album songs are precious gems and not merely discarded songs. YO! Maurizio from Italy P.S.: does anybody knows if Sting has ever done a cover version of the song "The Shadow of Your Smile"?

My mother, far the fan you or I are, absolutely *loves* that song!
5 songs to choose from are way too few, aren't they? Here's my top 10: 1) End of the game 2) How insensitive 3) It ain't necessarily so 4) The pirate's bride 5) Nice work if you can get it 6) Windmills of your mind 7) She walks this earth 8) Moonlight 9) Lullaby to an anxious child 10) Conversation with a dog ----- Original Message ----- From: Ulrica & Patrik To: police@xmission.com Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2002 12:48 AM Subject: [Police] She walks this earth Hi everybody I just thought it'd be interesting to know what all of you think are the best Sting songs NOT from a studio album.
