Such a underrated song😭 English man in New York: about immigration and how he felt like an alien in New York figuratively and literally speaking😭 so deep
it's not "exactly" 37 years yet, actually... the song came out near the end of 1987...

Year 100,675: I just jumped in my time machine and went back to 1987 to meet this guy at the film set - that's me disguised as a woman crossing the road at 1:54. You're welcome.

you know what's funny is one of my french classes had us listen to "Africain a paris" lol. i didnt even know this was the original version at the time.
Encore hier un jeune homme anglais vous a rendu hommage en devenant champion du monde au Maddison square en entrant avec votre musique, bravo monsieur 👏🏾
That's awesome. I have ancestors from Yorkshire but I am a Mayflower American. He has such fashion sense. This is how one knows he's European and not American.

Branford Marsalis gets plenty, no worries- he is a very well respected. If you listen to the rest of this album, you can hear more of him, and how much fun he and Sting had creating songs together (along with some other musical geniuses). There's even a funny beginning to Shadows In The Rain where he says "Wait, wait- what key is it in?"

I wish that pop musicians could bring back this style. Not that we don't like music today but, I can listen to this alot more without getting tired of it.
I know exactly what you mean. A lot of the stuff that comes out is processed to death and just rubbish in my ears and/or is more about an artist's image than sound. Some music is definitely decent but I don't think this type of musicality that was abundant in the charts from the 60s till the 90s will have a resurgence in the foreseeable future...
The fact that it took this long for a label like Frontiers Records to step up and actually bring back some classic rock/pop back to the West proves that the industry is permanently crippled. Music has been homogenized and cheapened to hell and back, and the general consumers have simply lapped it up without any regard for musicianship. It's just a crowd mentality that sadly persists to this very day. Very disheartening.
Music now involves tons and tons of marketing, as was discovered in the 80's or maybe even before. Cyndi Lauper had one great PR machine behind her for the time, but she also put out great music. Now, all you need is a great PR machine to succeed which is why shitty rap artists are a dime a dozen. They all make use of the "G.O.A.T." mentality to make themselves known. And the general consensus for music nowadays is that people think it's processed shit, they just don't bother to broaden their horizons and *seek out* music rather than let it fall into their lap. Crowd mentality will never get old, and good musicians must know how to work that crowd to their advantage, just like how punk rock became a lifestyle. And music is evolving, going through a shitty phase. I look forward to music in the future.
+SuperCruiser72 You must have such broad horizons if you think that all music is terrible these days. Try looking for music you like instead of complaining about what's marketed to you.
One of the best songs ever written. Elegance, style, jazz, saxophone, lyrics, black and white video. I always ask myself how is it possible to make a song with sophisticated melody like this, when there is a melody inside other melodies and in the end we have a masterpiece.Sting has a total musical taste , his songs are the best, Fields of gold, Seven days, When we dance, It’s probably me, Shape of my heart, They dance alone, Roxanne. And of course there are so much more. We can count and count. I love him, his music stays with me during all my life.
Sting is an absolute genius but my most favourite of all his songs is "Fragile" - beautiful words to a beautiful melody. I would love one day to write as good a song!
The elderly English gent in the video was Quentin Crisp, who suffered a lot of ignorance and was victimized, but never vengeful, only polite. He was an openly gay man, and the author of The Naked Civil Servant, among other books; he was often reviled and persecuted as a young man, and he moved to NYC for his older years. I worked for his literary agent and had the pleasure of meeting him once and talking with him on the phone many times.
Yes, because they used proper bloody instruments. Most songs suck now because musicality has been lost. it's only the obscure bands that are actually good, like Kaleo.
Today I read again VERY CAREFULLY THE STING SONG AND SUDDENLY IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE A PRAYER FOR EVERIBODY, FOR WHITE PEOPLE AND COLOURED PEOPLE, FOR ILL PEOPLE AND NO ILL PEOPLE (I can't remember what we can say In English: NO ILL PEOPLE) Aniwei I'm sure y YOU'VE UNDERSTAND WHAT'S I MEANS. IN ITALY NOW ARE ABOUT 3 OCLOC IN THE AFTERNOONS. IN USA PEOPLE ARE SLEEPING, I THINK. I SAY YOU: HAVE A GOOD NIGHT AND "SOGNI D'ORO" TRANSLATED MEANS about "YOUR DREAMS COULD BE GOLD". NO BADLY. ARE YOU AGRI WHIT ME????? NOW I'M GOING TO THE BAR JUST FOR TO TAKES A COFFEE AND TO READ A NEWSPAPER. THIS MORNING I WAS VERY BUSY ON SHOPPING TO MILANO. I BUY A HAT CALLED "BORSALINO" BEIGE COLOR, AND I WAS WEARING IT VERY APPROPRIATELY WHIT MY TRUSSARDY PIUMINO (IN ENGLISH I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU SAID NO I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW ITS THE NAME. TO BE CONTINUED MAYBE YES MAYBE NOT IT DEPENDS IF YOU'RE INTERESTING ON ITALIAN STILE (ARMANI, TRUSSARDI, TRU-TRUSSARDI, VALENTINO, VALENTINO GARAVANI, MAXMARA, ASPESI, LUCIANA ZUFFI, LORO PIANA, ....AND SO ON LUISA SPAGNOLI, PAOLO TONALI,
I think positive I LIKE the Vita an rose, I STUDI AND I mades IKEBANE, I LIKE PHILOSOPHIC OF FENG SHUI, I read many books, I Have a Big BIBLIOTECA IN MY HOUSE AND ALSO IN MY HOLIDAYS HOUSE IN LIGURIA NIER SAN REMO (MEDITERRANEAN MARE) I bought two APARTMENTS (one for me and the other for my daughter's and her family. My appartent is FRONTED SEA. Stop I need a COFFEE its my Droga. I don't say ENGLISH
Yes. When I was young and this song came out I couldn't appreciate the lyrics like now because being born and raised in Germany I had no notion of the underlying message of the song. Loved the music but today I love this song even more for what it represents.
I'd be honored if some Sting fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK and WHY SHOULD I CRY FOR YOU on my channel (click my photo to go there) in tribute to the master. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and pardon the promo.
" Be yourself, no matter what they say." What a great words... I think, all people should remember it. And of course, the song is amazing and very beautiful
I'm agry with WONDERFUL ""STING"" and ANNA about "BE YOURSEL NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY" . ALL PEOPLE '''MUST MUST" MUST"' REMEMBER IT. I HAVE TWO ""ACERRIME NEMICHE"" (I translate: I nave TWO very badly women) ou hate me very much).

@@willritter4076 I was Reading and Reading and Reading again the Sting Song I'm an Englishman in New York. I like this Song so much. Every day when I wake up in the morning, I choose this Song in my smartphone and it seems thats everything Is more beatiful than Yesterday. My English Is so bad. I'm Italian woman from North Italy and usually at SCOOL we study french languages and I study English by mayself. I beg your pardon
It is one of the more brilliantly written songs ever. Groove, key changes, percussion fills, chorus over the verse, and the bridge position & melody - OMG
I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear. I like my toast done on one side. You can hear it in my accent when I talk, I'm an Englishman in New York. *Politeness intensifies*
Same as you said. But. I'm an Irishman in New york... I like Lyons Tea and bit of whiskey don't know you know. etc... Just joking. love this song and Sting and the Police... PeAce...
I used to listen to this song when I was single mother with a baby with no house. We went from house to house. But sometimes I put on this song and I would dance around the room with my daughter and forget everything. She would smile whole the song. We would laugh so much. This song remembers me that I need nothing but love to be happy. Its a feeling. ❤️
Thank you. We are doing wel now. I just come back sometimes to remember I don’t need materialistic things to experience happiness and to remind myself to always stay humble and kind to everyone. ❤️
@@DEADLYMELODY187 It's really good to know that there are people like you in this world, that not everyone/everything is lost. Keep doing that way, it will always benefit you, one way or another.
Beautiful... hope you guys doing great now a days... all the best for you, and you are absolutely right, those little moments are the meaning of our life! God bless you two!
Ha! This is a very 1990s song. That brief period 1989 to 1999 when many songs were low key but well made. Many were movie sound track, credits songs or easy listening.

My parents took me to see Sting in concert at the end of the 80s. I was maybe 8. When he sand this song, the lights, the crowd, the beauty of his voice... Unforgettable.
Wasn't born in the 80s (I know it wasn't the best time), but man it would've been nice to go to a Sting concert around that time. His music's + The Police is just so good
I've seen Sting on stage only once.. in his production of The Last Ship a musical he wrote, directed and starred in, a few years ago. Very interesting and impressive, but I would love to have seen/heard him in his younger years.
They just don't make music like this anymore. I'm only 18 but I can remember my parents playing sting when I was a child and thank god! Because now I appreciate good music!
Çisem Usta, don't feel sorry. My parents listen to shitty music, but I managed to listen to good one like this. Kids these days can pretty much be autodidact, they can find good music to listen all by themselves.
But people teach them shitty music as good music. They don't have too many options to choose in that way. I mean, I saw lots of people who think Lovefool is JB's song, not The Cardigans...
I agree with Jurek009. "Love Me" is not JB's song either. It was originally written by Natalie Burke, if I remember correctly and it was used in the sims 2 game. Nobody told me that. I found out all by myself. The conclusion is you don't have to listen to the shitty music people teach you to!
yes... and the enemies should learn that quote as well... I'd be honored if some Sting fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK and WHY SHOULD I CRY FOR YOU on my YT channel in tribute to the master. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
I suffered bullying for 7 years and this song accompanied me. I repeated to myself before going to school be yourself no matter what they said. They are really wise and strong words that you have to reach a very low point in your life to understand. if I did that in front of my enemies. when I could but I followed the advice of this song I ignored their comments and passed by them smiling like a true gentleman THANK YOU STING
I remember listening to this song when I used to live in Finland. All my friends had it memorized and would ask me what he meant with each line. And all I could think was... "I only remember the chorus" :) but after a year of people asking i had the whole song down. Such a good song.
I don't take coffee, I take tea, my dear I like my toast done on one side And you can hear it in my accent when I talk I'm an Englishman in New York See me walking down Fifth Avenue A walking cane here at my side I take it everywhere I walk I'm an Englishman in New York Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York If "manners maketh man" as someone said He's the hero of the day It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile Be yourself no matter what they say Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety You could end up as the only one Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society At night a candle's brighter than the sun Takes more than combat gear to make a man Takes more than a license for a gun Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can A gentleman will walk but never run If "manners maketh man" as someone said He's the hero of the day It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile Be yourself no matter what they say Be yourself no matter what they say Be yourself no matter what they say Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien) Be yourself no matter what they say (I'm an Englishman in New York) Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien) Be yourself no matter what they say (I'm an Englishman in New York) Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien) Be yourself no matter what they say (I'm an Englishman in New York) Be yourself no matter what they say (oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien) Be yourself no matter what they say (I'm an Englishman in New York) Be yourself no matter what they say

今聴いても色褪せず素晴らしいですね。

Yes, because they used proper bloody instruments. Most songs suck now because musicality has been lost. it's only the obscure bands that are actually good, like Kaleo.
Yes it does yes yes
Lo mejor, desde hace casi 30 años, me encantaa Hoy escuchar a mi hijo tocándola con su Banda es Muy Gratificante.......😊

Still here to listen to great music and appreciate the great lifes that was Quentin Crisp and still is Sting. Anyone else here in 2024?
No, I’m not here. 😂
İ have been listening to this non stop
Yes. When I was young and this song came out I couldn't appreciate the lyrics like now because being born and raised in Germany I had no notion of the underlying message of the song. Loved the music but today I love this song even more for what it represents.
Yes, love this song!

I'd be honored if some Sting fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK and WHY SHOULD I CRY FOR YOU on my channel (click my photo to go there) in tribute to the master. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and pardon the promo.
Why can't we get songs like this anymore
do'nt know :(
That is true
because .........Murica.
who knows?
everyone prefers shitty pop songs
Tom Aspinall effect 🙌 what a song!
Nobody gonna talk about the sax & the Blues band. The intro & ending with Branford Marsalis is soul soothing. Couldn't unlisten it.
Brilliant combination of jazz and Sting. Always love hearing this song!
Sure!
Agreed
Me too

@@willritter4076 I was Reading and Reading and Reading again the Sting Song I'm an Englishman in New York.
I like this Song so much. Every day when I wake up in the morning, I choose this Song in my smartphone and it seems thats everything Is more beatiful than Yesterday.
My English Is so bad. I'm Italian woman from North Italy and usually at SCOOL we study french languages and I study English by mayself.
I beg your pardon
Million times I agree with you!!!♥
Beautiful words! ♥

I’m an English teen, and my band is playing some shows in New York this summer. I’m trying to get them to play this absolute classic with me 😂
Perfect choice!
All the best!
All the best, English teen in New York 😊
good luck! 🕉️⭐🍀💐
Hey - in NYC, where and when will you be playing here, or the name of your band I can look up your tour here.
Welcome to the US! Safe journey across the pond. Remember we’re two nations only separated by a common language!
It is one of the more brilliantly written songs ever. Groove, key changes, percussion fills, chorus over the verse, and the bridge position & melody - OMG
Also that reggae beat stands out as well.
OMG spurgt
@@RonSafreed "reggae beat"

Yes! The bridge is amazing. One of the best.

Funny. I'm vegan also :)
How to know if somebody is a vegan?
They'll fucking tell you.
What a masterpiece... Elegance, message and the beauty of old NYC.
This song is about to get alot more views because of Aspinall coming out to this tonight.
I used to listen to this song when I was single mother with a baby with no house. We went from house to house. But sometimes I put on this song and I would dance around the room with my daughter and forget everything. She would smile whole the song. We would laugh so much. This song remembers me that I need nothing but love to be happy. Its a feeling. ❤️
wish you the best
Beautiful story, hope you guys are doing better now, safer. Like the other comment, wish you both the best.
Thank you. We are doing wel now. I just come back sometimes to remember I don’t need materialistic things to experience happiness and to remind myself to always stay humble and kind to everyone. ❤️
@@DEADLYMELODY187 It's really good to know that there are people like you in this world, that not everyone/everything is lost.
Keep doing that way, it will always benefit you, one way or another.
Beautiful... hope you guys doing great now a days... all the best for you, and you are absolutely right, those little moments are the meaning of our life! God bless you two!
My girlfriend said
" Me or sting?"
I miss her sometimes
rezza Lucky T^T
Lol
Ha! This is a very 1990s song. That brief period 1989 to 1999 when many songs were low key but well made. Many were movie sound track, credits songs or easy listening.
Simon guey... 👍
U gay?
Nobody realizes who the older man in the video is…Quentin Crisp. He’s the other Englishman in NY. Sting salutes him.
Most Englishmen over the age of 60 know who Quentin Crisp is.
Tom Aspinall! You did it!
The best thing about this song is the message:
*_Be yourself no matter what they say..._*
Dam right
"Be yourself, everyone else is taken"
@@TacticalGhost007 that is very true
This song has to be one of the most chilling songs ever.
I'd be honored if some Sting fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK and WHY SHOULD I CRY FOR YOU on my YT channel in tribute to the master of lyricism and composition. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace and stay safe in the '020s.
Why?
Do you mean calming?
I love it
driving somewhere, even just to get gas for later, and it's still chilling
10 years later if u still watching then you’ve really grown
Yes Tom lad is right future heavyweight champ
My parents took me to see Sting in concert at the end of the 80s. I was maybe 8. When he sand this song, the lights, the crowd, the beauty of his voice... Unforgettable.
Wasn't born in the 80s (I know it wasn't the best time), but man it would've been nice to go to a Sting concert around that time. His music's + The Police is just so good
Hello ✋
I was born in 90 and never got to see him live. You're making me jealous.
I've seen Sting on stage only once.. in his production of The Last Ship a musical he wrote, directed and starred in, a few years ago.
Very interesting and impressive, but I would love to have seen/heard him in his younger years.
@Stella nice story and well parents, take care of her daughters taste ;)
There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them
Ok
Are u the same guy from message in a bottle? Coz same bro lol
What a beautiful and nostalgic song!
Old song, but still a GREAT ONE!!!! 😊❤.... And that's right: be yourself, no matter what they say! 💪
"be yourself no matter what they say"
you're right
They just don't make music like this anymore. I'm only 18 but I can remember my parents playing sting when I was a child and thank god! Because now I appreciate good music!
Same with my 26-years-old brother. I feel sorry about who doesn't have anybody to show them those songs.
Çisem Usta, don't feel sorry. My parents listen to shitty music, but I managed to listen to good one like this. Kids these days can pretty much be autodidact, they can find good music to listen all by themselves.
But people teach them shitty music as good music. They don't have too many options to choose in that way. I mean, I saw lots of people who think Lovefool is JB's song, not The Cardigans...
Çisem Usta Bull. There are plenty of options. You have the internet, therefore no excuse not to explore different artists.
I agree with Jurek009. "Love Me" is not JB's song either. It was originally written by Natalie Burke, if I remember correctly and it was used in the sims 2 game. Nobody told me that. I found out all by myself. The conclusion is you don't have to listen to the shitty music people teach you to!
be yourself no matter what they say

"Confront your enemies and avoid them when you can, a gentleman will walk but never run" one of the best quotes ever

Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.

Does anyone else think that Sting has an almost mystical sound to most of his songs. Something about his voice just sounds so smooth.
Yeah, something otherworldly about his voice, definitely.
Agreed, he deals with deep issues on a large scale, which creates deep sounding music.
Yee-yeah.He's a poet, who also sings, plays a mean Bass guitar.
He's my favorite musician since the 80's.😎
Very true
I never heard this song until Tom Aspinall walked out to this song tonight for his UFC fight i had to look it up
Quality then and now x❤
I suffered bullying for 7 years and this song accompanied me. I repeated to myself before going to school be yourself no matter what they said. They are really wise and strong words that you have to reach a very low point in your life to understand. if I did that in front of my enemies. when I could but I followed the advice of this song I ignored their comments and passed by them smiling like a true gentleman THANK YOU STING
Now you stand tall with your head held high, with dignity and hopefully feeling better
You know who the song is about right & what he suffered in his life? The guy is actually in the film.

Thank you, Sting, for giving us this song!
Esta canción me la mostró mi abuelo, es la canción que siempre me recuerda a él, me gusta mucho ❤
😂 positive I'm 70 , and I like this, and too much more
I remember listening to this song when I used to live in Finland. All my friends had it memorized and would ask me what he meant with each line. And all I could think was... "I only remember the chorus" :) but after a year of people asking i had the whole song down. Such a good song.

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
You could end up as the only one
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
At night a candle's brighter than the sun
Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than a license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run
If "manners maketh man" as someone said
He's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
