Again, I have no one favorite song on this CD, because how can you pick out just one??? I have no idea how many times I have listened to this CD, but I'm surprised that it still plays. Sometimes it and my other Sting CDs are in my player for months on end and I never get tired of hearing the songs.
This man can write lyrics and music like a dream. I was fortunate enough to see him in concert (with Annie Lennox, no less) in Tampa 2 years ago and it was the best concert I have ever experienced. My night at this concert has gone down as being one of the highlights of my life to date...
The title song, though, so cleary describes a hopeless love addict. I laugh when I hear this song because it describes myself at many times in my life!
This disc is a must own for Gordon Matthew Sumner fans (and if you didn't already know that that's Sting real name, what kind of fan are ya?) Just makes me feel good when I listen to Sting. Some really good material on this album.
I DECIDED TO BUY IT BECAUSE I HAD THE DISC AND IT WAS SCRATCHED BEYOND RECOGNITION. I AM A CHEAP SOB SO I DID MY SHOPPING AT THE BEST PLACE TO FIND LESS THAN RETAIL PURCHASES. I AM AN AVID FAN OF NOT BUYING RETAIL......EVER.
I purchased a second copy of the the Sting CD "Brand New Day" I love this cd. When I looked for my original and only copy at home, I was horrified to realize that it was misplaced. I had the cd jacket, but no cd inside. So what did I do, I went to Ebay of course. Found a new, never been opened copy of "Brand New Day". It was very reasonably priced, as was the shipping also. The cd was shipped promptly and now I am a "happy camper" again. Now, if I could only find my first copy of Brand New Day.
I was always a Country fan until I heard "Desert Rose" from this album when it first came out and they played it on the radio often. I immediatly went out and bought this album and have been a huge fan of Sting ever since. I went to his last concert in Las Vegas, at the end of his "All This Time" Tour and must say that I will NEVER forget it! Sting was amazing in concert, and will forever be one of my favorite memories. Sting's ability to write songs is a gift, and every album he has is proof.
Really good album but i must say that ten summner's tales was a pretty complete sting album. not to say this one comes much short of it but the rapper on here really threw me other than that and the slight lack of energy expected from a typical sting release it was very good.
