"Fortress" in a sweet jazz incarnation expertly played and well sung. It brings out the pop song exotic moodiness and stresses in its spareness the well-crafted poetry in the lyrics with their medieval metaphors about love. The strongest version of Sting's strongest post-Police song.
I'm in love with this version And if I built this fortress around your heart Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire Then let me build a bridge For I cannot fill the chasm And let me set the battlements on fire

No matter how many different ways Sting and all the different talented musicians perform
this song. It always kicks ass!. My favorite Sting tune.

This song changes keys like it's going to be outlawed.
My fav song ever
Gordon is a song-writing gangster.

Cool recording. A portion of the bass line recapitulates that from "Invisible Sun."
Sting reuses that simple bassline very frequently. It's based on the fifth-seventh-octave pattern, typical for blues and modal jazz
I would honestly saw a sizable piece of my good leg off to have half of his talent
I'm in love with this version
And if I built this fortress around your heart
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
Then let me build a bridge
For I cannot fill the chasm
And let me set the battlements on fire

Nice version. The top range of his voice is already a bit weak though.
