Hi Bisscute ❤ the elderly gentleman who appears in this video is Quentin Crisp, the man who this lovely song is all about. Sting is just amazing and has been for many years. 🙋♂
Hi ,Bisscute , i went to a Sting concert 2 weeks ago. He was absolutely amazing even at the age of 71 , sounds just as good now as he did at 30 years old . Thank you for listening to him .
This is from the “Nothing Like the Sun” which is a masterpiece of an album. I saw him in concert as part of The Police in 2008 as part of their last tour. In October I will see Sting as a solo act. He is the coolest man on earth in my view.
Some of my favorite Sting solo songs are: Fortress Around Your Heart, If You Love Somebody Set Them Free, Love Is The Seventh Wave, Fields of Gold, All This Time
As an American of English decent I have always loved this song - I really enjoyed your reaction - also , I hope you won't mind my saying , you are quite adorable
There's a cover by Shinehead called "Jamaican in New York" which is the version that I grew up listening to. I wonder if that's the song you remember hearing as a child.
"Alien" is a not so common word for "foreign" "not from this country" and actually the origin from the "not from this planet" concept 😂😂 just "aliens is a little despective word so he use it in a little ironic way. Also is the origin for the term "alienated" a way to say "you're out of reality" then Green day did the game of words (in American 1diot) "Alien-Nation" like "a nation that doesn't lives in the reality, that just knows media and television and ignore how terrible the world is". I love how this song talks about how is to be a stranger, that you're in a stranger place but you go and try to vibe the same way still, but keeping your manners and costume. And his so BRITISH ACCENT-VOICE IS SO DELICIOUS. Also, for completing the golden trio of Sting: Fields of gold and The shape of y heart are great songs. I don't know if you noticed Sting was the singer of The police (every breath you take). ALSO this is a very English song, 😂😂 his voice and background but the bass is so New York so you get the message 😂😂
Fun fact: this video was directed by David Fincher, who would go on to direct such movies as Seven, Fight Club, The Social Network, Gone Girl, Zodiac etc.!
Such a good song! Alien means foreigner, someone who doesn't belong there. And "legal alien" means he's allowed to be there, as opposed to "illegal alien" which is the term for foreign people without the required documents and permissions.
Alien originally meant foreigner. The albums: "Nothing Like the Sun", "Bring On the Night", "Dream of the Blue Turtles", and "Soul Cages" are masterpices. You won't be disappointed adding them to your playlists. There isn't a bad song in any of them. He is an absolute genius songwriter/composer. I would HIGHLY recommend watching the documentary film "Bring On the Night". It is a documentary of the prep for and the very first concert of his solo career. It has great songs on it both played in rehersels and at the concert, and gives fantastic incite into some of his creative processes. And the birth of one of his sons with "Russians" playing in the background is one of the most iconic shots in musical documentary.
I respectfully disagree a little... something got broken in him before the Soul Cages because that was not such a great record as the previous three you mentioned. As far as I know he went through some creative crisis after the Dream of the Blue Turtles that is why the Soul Cages took four years to be made. Since then Sting is not the same as he was before... this is just my opinion. His work with Shaggy is forgettable I think...
This is one of my favorite later solo Sting songs. BTW, the guy playing that amazing soprano sax solo throughout the song was the legendary Branford Marsalis. You looked puzzled at the lyrics, "I'm an alien / I'm a legal alien / I'm an Englishman in New York". Probably the "alien" part, no? lol! In this case, it's a legal term, not an E.T. space alien. An "alien" is just a non-citizen of a country. An legal alien is someone who's there legally. That's all!
Чёрно - белый мир. Зима. Но заиграл саксофон и согрел души людей ! Очаровательная ведущая в красивом платье завершила эту картину своим увлекательным рассказом !❤
The character he appears to be following is the one-time gay icon Quentin Crisp who moved to New York from the UK. Try Synchronicity II for something a bit different from Police.
Sting wrote the song about the famous eccentric and gay icon Quentin Crisp, who is the "Englishman" of the title. The song was composed not long after Crisp had moved from London to an apartment in the Bowery in Manhattan. Sting had met him and Crisp remarked jokingly to the musician that he "looked forward to receiving his naturalisation papers so that I can commit a crime and not be deported." When Sting asked him what kind of crime, he answered, "Something glamorous, non-violent, with a dash of style. Crime is so rarely glamorous these days." Sting included this story in the liner notes of his album ...Nothing Like The Sun. (Wikipedia)
There was a big soprano sax thing going on in the late 80s and early 90s and for me this felt like part of that. I liked its smooth and open jazz feel, but wasn't a big Sting fan. Bill Bruford's Earthworks were more my bag for that kind of sound.
A couple of connections here. Speaking of ‘Alien’, in Alien John Hurt played the stomach bursting first carrier. He played Quentin Crisp (the older gent in the video & the subject of the song) in the UK TV movie of his book, the Naked Civil Servant. One of his lovers in that movie later played Gimli.
I remember a long time a go my English teacher used this song in a class and make us think how could we be an legal alien? The anser was when we don't fit in the society. Such a good song!
I've never heard him do deathcore vocals so that might be one of the many things he cant do musically. Not that I want to see him do deathcore vocals, although it might be amusing.
There was another version of this released in 1990 remixed by Ben Liebrand which might be the version you have heard. There was also a cover by a guy called something like PH Electro which is much faster.
Sting's solo stuff. Fortress Around Your Heart, Russians both from 1985. You'd love both videos they are in black and white. Sting is super photogenic, even at his age now.
Sting is awesome. I stay tuned for more… My other suggestions: Nightwish -shoemaker Paolo, Nutini - iron sky, life at Abbey Road studio Hotel California by Eagles
Quentin Crisp was a gay gentleman, a former model, writer and actor. He left the UK for New York in 1981 and remained there until he died during a visit back to Manchester in 1999 aged 90.
You seemed puzzled by "I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien, I'm an Englishman in New York". He's a foreign national (in legal terms an 'alien') who is permitted under US law to be in the States.
Hi Bisscute, don't comment much but have enjoyed your reactions from the start. The folk on here who mention Quentin Crisp have it right. He is the subject of this song and appears throughout the video...... as someone said look him up to get the full context.
Miss Bisscute I am so happy that you have reacted to one of my Sting recommendations, I have had the opportunity to see him play live on six occasions, 5 as a solo artist and one with The Police and it is a great experience. I hope you can react to these songs soon: Fragility, Fields of Gold and my personal favorite: Desert Rose, I know you will love it.💓💓
He's got even better as he's aged. Check out a live intimate performance Sting did with Shaggy..... a great live performance. The song is called Don't Me Me Wait The video is here: ua-cam.com/video/bdneye4pzMw/v-deo.html
Just found your channel and started enjoying. It seems you have done a few of the "youtube" hits that did not sell 1 million albums commercially but are incredible. Things like annmaykrannet vs giant rooks , and home free - constant sorrow and the like. I will suggest , Live from Daryl's house no can do with chromeo , and John Gomm - Passionflower. They are both incredible.
Thanks for this masterpiece of Mr.Sting its a good vibes person and special singer ever... Great musician for me my favorite singer ever... More masterpiece of Sting below the list. 1.If I Everlose my faith in you 2. Fragile 3. Shape of my heart 4.Fields of Gold 5. Desert Rose( more etnical) 6.Everybreath you take. For me Bisscute Sting are more special on his performances on stages are more good vibe on live performances... Please give us reaction video live on stage please. Thanks See you& byyyeeee and good live Sting...
This is the original and by far the best version, Sting wrote it, but it's been copied loads of times - 'Englishman in New York, Venezuelan in New York, Jamaican in New York, etc.. Name any country, and it's probably had '...man in New York' stuck on the end of it and been recorded. So it's no wonder that you've heard this song before.
I've always felt that the tensions of talent and egos in the Police brought out the best of Sting. He's talented and this album was interesting; yet it seemed like Sting and the studio pros do some numbers
Bisscute I’m thinking you need to react to Shame by Stabbing Westward. Absolutely Amazing Vocals. Great Musicianship and the Lyrics are of a Love Gone Bad. The songwriting is Fantastic. The official video is a little dark & creepy but paints a picture and it all ends well. Just a Suggestion 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Please react to Zoé Luna MTV Umplugged amazing song! Just the vocals and instruments will be like something you've never heard before. It's just beautiful to hear. Thanks hopefully you get to see this message. :)😊
If you want react to another Police song, every little thing does is magic" and another good solo song from Sting called Russians or Fragile is another good solo song from him too, Regards Boris from Germany
Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me .
I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤
"Alien" also means just a person from another country...yes he is the lead from The Police - very distinctive voice and a LOT of great solo work
O-oh, i'm an Alien.
I'm a legal Alien...
Seems like variation for Ridley Scott))
Hi Bisscute ❤ the elderly gentleman who appears in this video is Quentin Crisp, the man who this lovely song is all about. Sting is just amazing and has been for many years. 🙋♂
Hi, thanks for the info
Sting is a wonderful vocalist and song writer. Fields of gold and Every breath you take are two of my personal favorite songs
Hi ,Bisscute , i went to a Sting concert 2 weeks ago. He was absolutely amazing even at the age of 71 , sounds just as good now as he did at 30 years old . Thank you for listening to him .
I'll go see him in December this year and I'm so excited. It will be the first time I see him live :D
@@IsabelleRSG you will have an amazing time , he's truly fantastic. 👍
This is from the “Nothing Like the Sun” which is a masterpiece of an album. I saw him in concert as part of The Police in 2008 as part of their last tour. In October I will see Sting as a solo act. He is the coolest man on earth in my view.
I loved the fact that he had all these jazz greats play on this album and in concert with him.
You must see the video of sting....goldfields❤
this was one of the favorites of a good friend (RIP). It spoke to his fascination of NYC and finding his own individuality.
"it takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile" exactly. easier said than done! and i will continue to be myself, no matter what they say
Quentin Crisp did it with humour and dignity...
What a wonderful concert he put on when releasing this album
might need to check some out
If this is the first Sting song you’ve reviewed, then you should do Desert Rose by Sting. Incredible song.
Got it, thanks
Hey, she did it. The system works. 👍
Some of my favorite Sting solo songs are: Fortress Around Your Heart, If You Love Somebody Set Them Free, Love Is The Seventh Wave, Fields of Gold, All This Time
Fields of gold is another brilliant song by him!
Branford Marsalis is so good on the soprano saxiphone on this track.
As an American of English decent I have always loved this song - I really enjoyed your reaction - also , I hope you won't mind my saying , you are quite adorable
So many great Police tunes to react too, Wrapped Around Your Finger or The Bed’s Too Big Without You are another 2 bangers ❤
Field of Gold is one of my personal favorites as is If I ever lose my faith. I enjoy your reactions!
Thanks, glad you are enjoying them
There's a cover by Shinehead called "Jamaican in New York" which is the version that I grew up listening to. I wonder if that's the song you remember hearing as a child.
Good song and reaction, Biss! Some other songs of Sting to react to could be: Shape of my heart, Russians, Fields of gold. 👍
Thank you
"Alien" is a not so common word for "foreign" "not from this country" and actually the origin from the "not from this planet" concept 😂😂 just "aliens is a little despective word so he use it in a little ironic way.
Also is the origin for the term "alienated" a way to say "you're out of reality" then Green day did the game of words (in American 1diot) "Alien-Nation" like "a nation that doesn't lives in the reality, that just knows media and television and ignore how terrible the world is".

Every Breath You Take is a must, but all The Police songs are great.
Got it
Message in a bottle- the police.

Oh there is a live version of this performed by Sting and the reggae artist Shaggy that is really good. On NPR's Tiny Desk concert series.
Thank you for the list, hopefully ill get around to them in the future
I respectfully disagree a little... something got broken in him before the Soul Cages because that was not such a great record as the previous three you mentioned.

Nothing but chill vibes from this song...completely forgot about it, ty for reminding me 👍

It’s funny you’re reacting to this because it came on the radio today at work and has been stuck in my head since this morning 😂 great reaction
Haha, thank you so much
"Seven Days" is a must listen.
The character he appears to be following is the one-time gay icon Quentin Crisp who moved to New York from the UK. Try Synchronicity II for something a bit different from Police.
"Desert Rose" is a beautiful song with a very beautiful video.

that woo-do sound coming from "cuica" which is Brazilian Percussion
"A gentleman will walk but never run" means you should walk away from unnecessary conflicts but not runaway when you must stand on principle.
A couple of connections here. Speaking of ‘Alien’, in Alien John Hurt played the stomach bursting first carrier. He played Quentin Crisp (the older gent in the video & the subject of the song) in the UK TV movie of his book, the Naked Civil Servant. One of his lovers in that movie later played Gimli.
This might just be my most favourite Sting song.
Nice, glad you liked it
Great song, Quentin Crisp was definitely an interesting character and trail blazer...
I remember a long time a go my English teacher used this song in a class and make us think how could we be an legal alien? The anser was when we don't fit in the society. Such a good song!
Right? its a good song
Yes, he was lead singer for Police.. They had many great songs.
I still like my toast done on one side.
This was how i felt when I moved form London to Melbourne.
This is such a smooooooth song, so atmospheric.
It is
Sting This genius is the owner of the original song
This is my favourite song by Sting
Glad you liked this
I TRULY believe that musically, there's nothing STING can't do!!
I've never heard him do deathcore vocals so that might be one of the many things he cant do musically. Not that I want to see him do deathcore vocals, although it might be amusing.
@@EnervatedSociety 🤣🤣🤣 Maybe, maybe not...we may never know!
He is amazing
Recommend: Collective Soul. Song is called Run. Official video is good.
Thanks for the recommendation
Please react Cakra Khan Audition in American Got Talent... is amazing.
In the future hopefully
Hello bisscute. Love your russian accent, your are so cute and so expressive when you listen to songs. Love it!
she is romanian living in germany FYI
@@woeshaling6421 ok thanks
"Desert Rose" and "Shape of My Heart" are two more Sting songs you MUST listen to!
how about 2 for the price of one? Sting featuring Eric Clapton " it's probably me" a banger! !
Ill note that, thanks
There was another version of this released in 1990 remixed by Ben Liebrand which might be the version you have heard. There was also a cover by a guy called something like PH Electro which is much faster.
hmmm might have to give it a listen to see
Sting's solo stuff. Fortress Around Your Heart, Russians both from 1985. You'd love both videos they are in black and white. Sting is super photogenic, even at his age now.
Check out Sting's song Desert Rose
I will, someday
Classic 🇸🇪
Sting is awesome. I stay tuned for more…
My other suggestions:
Nightwish -shoemaker
Paolo, Nutini - iron sky, life at Abbey Road studio
Hotel California by Eagles
Your English is wonderful.
I've never liked Sting as a solo guy. Not sure why, I love all the Police stuff.
this whole album is great
Hopefully more in the future
Quentin Crisp was a gay gentleman, a former model, writer and actor. He left the UK for New York in 1981 and remained there until he died during a visit back to Manchester in 1999 aged 90.
Desert rose is a great sting song
Oh?
You said that when you didn't know English , right ? What country are you from and was it easy learning ? 👌
Yes the 1st meaning of "alien" is a "stranger/foreigner", so a being coming from another place... as an extraterrestrial does...
I see, thanks
You seemed puzzled by "I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien, I'm an Englishman in New York". He's a foreign national (in legal terms an 'alien') who is permitted under US law to be in the States.
