One of my favourites from Sting, from the Dream Of Blue Turtles - which is a great album. Very appropriate given the state of the world.
Great cover Geir, super choice.
I absolutely love it, and love the choice of song!
Dream of Blue Turtles is one of those albums I still vividly remember when I first heard it, it made a massive impression on me. There are so many great tracks on this album. We are massive Sting fans in this household.

Brilliant, what a surprise to see this after being absent for a while, one of my favorite tunes. You nailed it brother, and the power, oh man , brilliant!

I love Sting too and this is just fabulous - can you do some more pretty please!

[Greeny]

I much prefer your version. There was something a bit twee about the Sting original, but your stripped back guitar and emotional vocal resonance makes it work much better. In fact, this is an absolute f*cking beauty.

I love the way you sing and play :-)

[Tangled Wires]

I kind of remember the original, and this is a stunner Geir, and it is the power in your vocal combined with that wonderful tender acoustic which gives it a raw beauty

The clarity and quality of the recording, especially considering in is a LitLR production, is bloody outstanding too!

[Mike_S]

Great work really enjoyed that... lovely performance. nice words.
