    When I was a kid, I peeled the label off of a bottle of Sprite I was drinking, because it has a contest that you could win a free cd if you had the winning label. I actually ended up winning and this album was one of the possible prizes you can request. I chose the album because I really liked this song. After all these years, still do.

    Sting has written a lot of great songs during his solo career but for me, as a 40+ year long fan of both Sting and The Police, 'If I Ever Lose My Faith In You.' is his signature song. I'm no expert on music but it surely has to be one of the best Pop songs ever written - with an absolutely killer bridge that ignites my senses every time I hear it. It also has an epic sound that can fool you into thinking that it was recorded with a full orchestra!

    LYRICS (YEAR 1993):
    You could say I lost my faith in science and progress
    You could say I lost my belief in the holy Church
    You could say I lost my sense of direction
    You could say all of this and worse, but
    If I ever lose my faith in you
    There'd be nothing left for me to do
    Some would say I was a lost man in a lost world
    You could say I lost my faith in the people on TV
    You could say I'd lost my belief in our politicians
    They all seemed like game show hosts to me
    If I ever lose my faith in you
    There'd be nothing left for me to do
    I could be lost inside their lies without a trace
    But every time I close my eyes I see your face
    I never saw no miracle of science
    That didn't go from a blessing to a curse
    I never saw no military solution
    That didn't always end up as something worse, but
    Let me say this first
    If I ever lose my faith in you
    There'd be nothing left for me to do

This song and a few others were my anthems to keep going through school, through infantry school, Iraq/Afghanistan, divorce, thoughts of ending it all, and even through raising my son alone.

    "The song is in two distinct parts. The first part is about the things I've lost faith in. It's quite easy to be precise about the things I've lost faith in - politics, media, science, technology, the things that everybody has, and yet I along with most other people have a great deal of hope, and a feeling that things will and can get better. So what do we place our faith in I can't define that as easily as I can define what I don't believe in anymore. So I haven't defined it, I've just said if I ever lose my faith in you, and "You" could be my producer, it could be faith in God, it could be faith in myself, or it could be faith in romantic love. It could be all of those things, I don't define it. I think it's important not to define it, because once you can define something it evaporates. I think it's important in this day and age when we are dictated to by music television what a particular song is about, that the old ambiguity that songs had can be retained."
    Sting was a schoolteacher for three years. During this time, he played in bands nights and weekends.
    His real name is Gordon Sumner. Concurring anecdotes have it that he got his stage name from a yellow-and-black-striped sweater he wore while playing jazz gigs during his early days in Cramlington, England, which made him look like a bumble bee. One bandleader started calling him "Sting" and it stuck. Sting has six children: two with his first wife, Frances Tomelty, four with his next wife, Trudie Styler.

      Song Name - Love
      Although the Lyrics speak of the music artist experience on Love through the ups & Downs of life.... Some may relate to the song regarding someone special in their life that showed them Love and yet the song always reminds me of God's Love.
      Call me delusional or a fanatic, but God is Love... and I get to see His Love in those around me and some people that cross my path in Life. It's not cultish when you choose to walk in Love... and believe God in everything I do and say according to His word & Will for my life. 🙏🏾

      You've totally missed the meaning of the song due to your religious hysteria (sorry, vehement Atheist). The line, "you could say I lost my belief in the holy church." He professes that he has lost his faith in everything, including god. So, if he loses his faith in his love, he has nothing left to lose, because that's the ONLY thing he still believes in. It's a love song and religious faith is used to conjure "blind faith" in this instance, not for god, but for his love.

    A couple of months ago, I use to like only The Police's songs, and I hadn't given to myself the chance of listening to Sting's ones as a solo artist. However, in a sunny Sunday afternoon, l listen to this song on the radio while driving, and it caught me since the first seconds. The mix of the arrangements and the lyrics was so beautiful that even made me cry. Then, I began listening to Sting's solo songs, and I recently had the chance to see him playing on live in my own country, Mexico 😆. Sting hadn't come to Mexico in several years, so I was present in a unique venue. I'm amazed to get caught by Sting's solo songs just before he came back to Mexico. I think it's not simple coincidence.

    Thank you Sting. This is my song for my Mother, whose health is declining. There is no more pure love than that of a child for her Mother. Your songs are rich in lyrics and love. I thank you for your almost endless beautiful lyrics.

    This video is steeped in the esoteric symbolism and archetypes of the tarot. If you know, you know. Not only a phenomenal piece of songwriting and composition, it is multi-layered with the resonance of the video imagery. Absolute legend. ❤️

    This song I dedicate to MY WIFE and Sarah Sophia, my lovely daughter, who has not returned home since 5th March 2021 at the age of only nine years old. I truly miss you. With love, PAPA...🥲♥

    Not to lose your Faith in Yourself..is to be Truly in the God Source. This song says that to me..after experiences of those trying to take away my sense of self. A very important song, thank you Sting❤
