Hi all from France !!! Ok, "Fragile" is a nice song... (or was...). That sounded great back in the late 80's years but now it sounds really boring, especially as 99% of the planet already heard it in diff. fields ! This track covered so many situations in so many years that now the initial spirit of the song has gone away.. The way it turns make the Sting's strategy going the ridiculous way... Initialy used for the Nicaragua cause, it was also a tribute song to the Rainforest destruction, to Freddy Mercury's and sepecial friends death, to some Nobel's prize awards, to the (tragic) Twin Towers events, and now to the Olympic Ceremony (wich means THE song for peace).... He should now use it when his dog will die and everyone will be happy telling that the version is personnal and that it's so deeply emotional ! Where the hell are we going mates ? Since 1991, the song is played at EACH concert, every night ! We're all fans in a way but eating the same thing again and again, made the meal really digusting ! This is really ridiculous, especially when each time the same message is taken as a whole banner to defend global diseases, and bad things that can happen in the world... To some people (non Sting's fan), Sting's is going the bad marketing way without any good reasons and, you know, I can't blame them at all... Monday on my mind...

Olympic Ceremony lip synch.
by frotri＠panafonet.gr 12 Feb '02

12 Feb '02

I have to agree with Sebastien, the show (the music i mean) was not at all that good, and it was, regarding the audio quality, also one of the worst I have ever seen (but I believe the TV sound engineers are to be blamed here) with echoes all over the songs and then that ridiculous lip synchronization by Sting, that earphone didn't help him a lot I believe. We already mentioned on StingUs that pre-recordings were made about two weeks ago, but that it was the fully 100% of the song ... that we couldn't believe to be true ... now we do however. I was quite annoyed already knowing he was to play Fragile for the 123.1235th time, but this performance was utterly bad and poorly arranged, shame on you Mr Sting. The skating performances however were great, and that made my evening ... Karel _

Hi all, at the Olympics, he should have played "Love is the seventh wave", which contains the "right message" and would have been a real surprise. He'd better "save" Fragile for real tragic events, like sept. 11 2001. But it certainly has a quality that makes the song apply to all kinds of situations. Just my 2 cents. Maartje PS Oh boy, I hope his dog doesn't die before feb. 20.. >From: Sebastien.Renaut(a)pasdecalais-habitat.fr >To: Police(a)xmission.com >Subject: [Police] RÃ©f. : Re: [Police] Olympic Ceremony >Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2002 16:08:14 +0100 > > >Hi all from France !!! >Ok, "Fragile" is a nice song...

Spead A Little Happiness
by hawaiifiveo＠usa.net 11 Feb '02

I would appreciate if any of the list members have or know where I can find the lyrics to Sting's song "Spread A Little Happiness" from the Brimstone & Treacle Soundtrack. The Lyrics Library in Sting's official site does not contain this song. Would any of you know why? I would also like to download the MP3 for "Spread A Little Happiness". Does anyone know where I can find it? This is a great list. I find it very informative and look forward to reading all of your e-mails. ____________________________________________________________________ Get free e-mail and a permanent address at http://www.amexmail.com/?A=1

My goodness, that's absolutely amazing. Wish I had that money to piss away. I actually thought I'd go since it's during spring break for us. Off to find corporate sponsorship (heck, if Sting can do it, so can I...)

Hi! Here in Latvia they showed it at 4 am so I was still asleep! ;););) Luckily there is videotaping invented! ;) Anyway, I was very impressed both with Our Man and the way Fragile was performed. I think this was pretty emotional thing for Sting. Should Sting always look so nice???? ;) Girls???? What do you think? Cheers, Panda
