French artistry - never ordinary, a sensational live performance, only rarely does the live show eclipse their brilliant studio stuff. Two very clever blokes - Air
Think when he wrote the song it was more to do with the destruction of communities by the Conservatives under Thatcher more than environmental issues.......
One of the most cleverly written coal mining songs, Branford and Omar Hakim gives that awesome edge to the song with Sting's haunting vocals in respect of the song
Lyrics This place has changed for good Your economic theory said it would It's hard for us to understand We can't give up our jobs the way we should Our blood has stained the coal We tunneled deep inside the nation's soul We matter more than pounds and pence Your economic theory makes no sense One day in a nuclear age They may understand our rage They build machines that they can't control And bury the waste in a great big hole Power was to become cheap and clean Grimy faces were never seen Deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen We work the black seam together We work the black seam together The seam lies underground Three million years of pressure packed it down We walk through ancient forest lands And light a thousand cities with our hands Your dark satanic mills Have made redundant all our mining skills You can't exchange a six inch band For all the poisoned streams in Cumberland One day in a nuclear age They may understand our rage They build machines that they can't control And bury the waste in a great big hole Power was to become cheap and clean Grimy faces were never seen Deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen We work the black seam together We work the black seam together Our conscious lives run deep You cling onto your mountain while we sleep This way of life is part of me There is no price so only let me be Should the children weep The turning world will sing their souls to sleep When you have sunk without a trace The universe will suck me into place One day in a nuclear age They may understand our rage They build machines that they can't control And bury the waste in a great big hole Power was to become cheap and clean Grimy faces were never seen But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen We work the black seam together We work the black seam together We work the black seam together We work the black seam together

One of the first albums I bought from Sting after he left the police for this project. Guess what, it was real vinyl in my time!!! To my opinion, one of the best moves, after the Police, to become the artist he is now.
Most of The Dream Of The Blue Turtles sounds a bit hermetic. Sting tends to perfection the production too much. The live versions are usually a bit more vibrant and maybe in places also a better showcase of the musicians' quality. Also it isn't a fault to know that he is breathing at all.
Omg
<3
can’t believe this is the only live iteration of La Voyage De Pènèlope. Surely AIR must have more live additions of this song…
Sadly a little underrated band, not so many live performances around.
This tune could be sooo cool in 5/4 :)))
Eargasm💦
Such an underrated song
what an amazing version!
increible
superiores a Daft punk
Wow
thank you
Coming down on acid listening to this in the backwoods of Utah, perfecto!!
Utah doesn't deserve this, glad you do
Um sonho...momento único na vida de uma pessoa Magia pura
❤
Brasil Rio de Janeiro Essa música tem um alto teor de profundidade.

I wonder what Stings attitude to coal and coal mines is today, in 2020.
Think when he wrote the song it was more to do with the destruction of communities by the Conservatives under Thatcher more than environmental issues.......
@@jimusgrimus That may be so but where do you think his attitude to coal mines lies today.
Such a brilliant version of a great song.
I first heard this sun a cappella and I can't find it anywhere...It's much better sung a cappella
Perfección
Magnifico!!

Never thought a live version would be this amazing
la femme d'argent 10+ minutes versions are over everything.
Why not? After amazing 12 minutes of Le emme d'argent it's easily possible.
thank you for sharing
all live!please!
The obscure sister of le Femme d' argent at her best!.... Thanks for posting.... I really love this song and i never thought to listen it live!!!!
femme d'argent is the obscure sister. pénélope shines brighter than the sun.
que temazo!! y en vivo suena mejor aun
This blows away the studio album version because apart from the sound, it just has that extra bit of pace and power.
Most of The Dream Of The Blue Turtles sounds a bit hermetic. Sting tends to perfection the production too much. The live versions are usually a bit more vibrant and maybe in places also a better showcase of the musicians' quality. Also it isn't a fault to know that he is breathing at all.
I totally agree
thanks for posting this =)
