- Sting plays his song "Shape Of My Heart" live in concert with the San Francisco Symphony before a sold-out crowd at Davies Symphony Hall on February 15, 2024. Shape Of My Heart appeared on Sting's fourth solo album, Ten Summoner's Tales (1993), with a new version released on his album My Songs (2019). Sting is a Grammy Award winning British singer-songwriter from Newcastle, England who was a founding member of the band The Police. This was one of only a handful of shows Sting is playing with symphony orchestras, including an upcoming show with the Philadelphia Orchestra on March 8 and 9. Joining him onstage were Edwin Outwater (conductor), Rob Mathes (music director, piano, and keyboards), Wyatt Underhill (concertmaster / violin), Ben Butler (guitar), Kaveh Rastegar (bass), Nate Laguzza (drums), and the musicians of the San Francisco Symphony.
====================
Shape Of My Heart lyrics:
He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He don't play for respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While a memory of it fades
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape, shape of my heart
And if I told you that I loved you
You'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
But those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape, the shape of my heart
Written by Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner a/k/a Sting / Dominic James Miller

Cudowny utwor.
Uwielbiam Stinga.
Płaczę.
Fantastico Sting ❤ great Song, brano meraviglioso! Grazie Sting 🎶💕
Mistrz !
I hope this had a pro shoot happening! Thanks for posting this, but would be nice to see and hear at a higher level. This is so damn good.
Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth. 🐴
Compared to all the other recordings out there-shaky, low res, with people's heads in the way and muddied audio-this is most definitely a higher level. I for one am grateful this guy got what he did.
@@cl2008cl2008 I'm grateful as well and this is damn good for a phone video, my point is this performance is so exceptional that I hope the whole concert was professionally recorded.
@jeffwolinski2659 - Definitely an amateur but not a cell phone. I used a camera with a 30x optical zoom and rested it on a railing to keep the image stable. Then I edited the footage in a video editor to sharpen and brighten it, and to boost the audio in the quiet parts. I totally agree with you about wanting something professional with multiple cameras and soundboard audio, but the reason I do this hobby is that sadly 99.9% of concerts never get that kind of treatment (as least not released publicly). Best wishes, Tim
@@TimBracken very nice, I'm glad you got this footage, much appreciated!
The world owes me a Sting concert ❤ respect from iran
When Lee Kwang Soo got stuck in the zip-line this funny song played. Interestingly, Kwang Soo and Sting make a good team. Sting writes the music and Kwang Soo makes it funny. One thing to note is that two of Kwang Soo's theme songs are both by Sting. Saint Agnes and the Burning Train is a funny song that sends the entire world into laughter.
