I think that this song, "Thousand Years" and "Desert rose" could become a trilogy of stories about a man who is trying to escape from reality, dreaming of exotic countries and missing someone he has lost. A painful longing for love and beauty is combined with the image of the desert, reminiscent of a lonely human soul, ancient legends and ethnic motifs. I really adore this songs.

the greatest songwriter in 'popular' music of the last fifty years.

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

This song is so underrated. A masterpiece

Sting always. Gentlemen who knows what is charming and intelligent poetry. His words are the life we are all living. Unforgettable lyrics, gentle but powerful music. Love them.

He writes a masterpiece of lyrics here. I just love hearing his poetry.

One of the greatest songwriter composer in the history of popular music.

What a beautifully-arranged and haunting song about the magnificent pain of love. Sting at his best.

Музыка, голос, сюжет...я не перестаю восхищаться Стингом!❤

The Soul Cages is an amazing album, which kept me company in a very challenging period of my life. I was 17 when it was released, and very confused, and one of the (few) anchors of my life was music like this. Thank you

Yes, this is music. Melody with lyrics

⌛ timeless masterpiece ⏳

To me, this is the best love song of all time. I love Sting and his deep, dark, descriptive lyrics. He paints pictures with his words.

Such a beautiful song. I don't know how someone writes music but I'm sure grateful to those who can. A wonderful artist.

A stone's throw from Jerusalem I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight And though a million stars were shining My heart was lost on a distant planet That whirls around the April moon Whirling in an arc of sadness I'm lost without you, I'm lost without you Though all my kingdoms turn to sand and fall into the sea I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you And from the dark secluded valleys I heard the ancient songs of sadness But every step I thought of you Every footstep only you Every star a grain of sand The leavings of a dried up ocean Tell me, how much longer, How much longer? They say a city in the desert lies The vanity of an ancient king But the city lies in broken pieces Where the wind howls and the vultures sing These are the works of man This is the sum of our ambition It would make a prison of my life If you became another's wife With every prison blown to dust My enemies walk free I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you And I have never in my life Felt more alone than I do now Although I claim dominions over all I see It means nothing to me There are no victories In all our histories Without love A stone's throw from Jerusalem I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight And though a million stars were shining My heart was lost on a distant planet That whirls around the April moon Whirling in an arc of sadness I'm lost without you, I'm lost without you And though you hold the keys to ruin of everything I see With every prison blown to dust my enemies walk free Though all my kingdoms turn to sand and fall into the sea I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you

Sting Mad About You is one of my personal favorite song from the The Soul Cages and I wanna wish a Happy early 70th Birthday to Sting

Волшебный, глубокий, нежный, мудрый, восхитительный!!! Долгие лета❤💖💗

Written for eternity...a masterpiece!!

My ALL TIME FAVOURITE song by Sting. Thank you Wes for introducing me back in high school. Forever grateful.

Sting on “Mad About You”: It’s inspired by the story of King David and Bathsheba. These stories of murder and obsessive, jealous love appeal to me for some reason. Yes, those lines “There are no victories / In all our histories / Without love” have the quintessential Sting idea that romantic love outweighs global issues. I really believe that. Love is continuity of the species, it’s the most important thing. That’s why love songs are immortal. A political song will be dated within a year. It took me a long time to learn that." Glory to God.

Sting was always a class one Poet, to put this into music is a special art. A Genius

Heavenly gift, heavenly voice. True music genius ❤️

I love the haunting quality of your songs. Lovely

Sting is the type of artist that once you hear his beautiful voice, you fall in love with it. The music and lyrics in all his songs are genius. Sting will forever stay in my heart.❤❤

Pop songs come and go. Sting's music stands the test of time.

Absolute Masterpiece.

This song just sounds like an eerie music.

Happy Birthday Mr. Sting!

Masterpiece! Sting needs a special award, Grammy is not enough.

_"Every star a grain of sand."_ _"The leavings of a dried up ocean..."_ Some *serious poetry* from Sting in this remarkable yet overlooked masterpiece! 🔹

Lovely song. Also the version that he did with Zucchero is very beautiful

beautiful music, wonderful lyrics, magnificent voice

Lovely lyrics and beautiful melodies... I love Sting!

Yo escuchaba el album "the soul cages" cuando tenía 14 años, y esta canción era una de mis favoritas. En ese tiempo yo tenía un amor platónico y con esta canción lo recuerdo...

Love the Casablanca feel here! 😁👍❤️

❤❤❤❤❤Well Jodorowsky has a phrase that I love and that I apply on many occasions: "Madness is what heals." It is not about illness but rather there are people or situations that open up a new nature in us, something beautiful and vivid that breaks any possibility of limits. "Though all my kingdoms turn to sand And fall into the sea I'm mad about you I'm mad about you But every step I thought of you Every footstep only you And every star a grain of sand Although I claim dominions over all I see It means nothing to me And fall into the sea I'm mad about you. I'm mad about you" ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

MAD ABOUT U&I. BRILLIANT

Sting super good luck. Благодарю вас за исполнение хорошей песни. Всех благ вам и здоровья вам и вашим близким.

And I have never in my life felt more alone than I do now, although I claim dominions over all I see it means nothing to me, there are no victories in all our histories without love...

Maaan...,my memories flew back about 28-29 years ago when I was still a fresh college boy..,lots of things happen back then, very good and sweet memories of course, accompanied by Sting songs, especially this one.. 😁😁👍

Tied for favorite Sting song.....Fortress around your heart. Wish I could play DnD with Sting!

My favorite artist since 2 yo. Thanks mom for your perfect music taste. 2:57 awesome moment when his voice simply dissolves in music..

Love his voice

Sting was spittin here 🔥🔥🔥

This song is directly to MyLord

Sting ❤ The Artist With Many Friends ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Icon ❤

This song staggers me...its almost like he is singing about the woman I loved. She was killed some yearsv ago. Her life had involved dangerous activities in an Arab country. She remains my incredible heroine. After her death I remain mad about her.

My husband worked in Jeddah ( Saudi Arabia) for 2 years and when I went out to visit him we used to travel around in the car and I remember sand dunes like those, oases and camels ! It’s also VERY cold in the desert at night and the stars are VERY clear !

This man is the genius!Every song is covering my heart by such soft wind.I'm ALWAYS in so gentle silk with his song...To say that I love this man is to say nothing...I'm incredibly grateful to that World that it gave us such diamond who's illuminating our souls!

I❤Sting!!

Loooove this. Masterpiece

All of Stings music, are Masterpieces! Brilliant singer, songwriter (whether he actually wrote or Co wrote this or not) he gives the song his own distinctive flair! Thanks for sharing xx

MAD ABOUT YOU (русский перевод) - my favorite singer! Камни иерусалимских стен... Я прошёл путь один... только лунный плен... И хотя было светло в звёздном свете, Моё сердце потерялось на дальней планете... Той, что вращается вокруг апрельской Луны По орбите печали и судьбы... Я потерян без тебя... Мне плохо без тебя... Пусть все мои королевства Как песок смыла волна... Мне больно без тебя... Я без тебя схожу с ума... И из тёмных одиноких долин Я услышал печали крик... И каждый миг я думал о тебе, Каждый шаг был только для тебя... И эти звёзды - частицы песка, От океана осталась река... Скажи сколько ещё ждать? Сколько страдать?? Говорят, что в пустыне есть город - Память величия древнего короля... Этот город лежит в руинах, И над ним кружатся мёртвые ветра... И кружат над ним чёрные птицы - Это всё итог наших амбиций... Моя жизнь была бы тюрьмой, Если бы ты стала чьей-то женой... Как песок разрушает оковы Мои враги свободны снова... Мне плохо без тебя... Я без тебя схожу с ума... Никогда прежде в моей жизни Я не был так одинок, как сейчас... Пусть я владею всем, что вижу,- Это ничего не значит для меня... Все мои победы - только твои В нашей истории нет побед - без любви... Камни иерусалимских стен... Я прошел всё один и только лунный плен, И хотя было светло в звёздном свете, Моё сердце потерялось на дальней планете... Той, что вращается вокруг апрельской Луны По орбите печали и судьбы... Я потерян без тебя... Мне так больно без тебя... И хотя ты держишь ключи От моей раненой души... И можешь разрушить оковы, Но мои враги стали свободны снова... Знаешь, все мои города Как песок смыла волна... Мне плохо без тебя... Я без тебя схожу с ума...

Amazing song! I listen it again and again ❤

the intro is a madness

Saved up my pocket money and ran down to Woolworths to buy Zenyatta Mondatta as a 10 year old kid. Now 53 and still in awe of the guy. Good memories 🐝

Sting ⭐⭐⭐
