the drumming on this track is fucking amazing
Let a 54 old drummer jus' shake your hand mate!😀🤝🥁🤘🏻✌🏻
Sting
Universal Music Group
Vinnie is an under appreciated master
Especially considering he's playing against a different time signature in the vocals!
Perfect example of a drummer completely blowing your mind without “overplaying.”
I've been a drummer since the fifth grade back in 1984 and studied every style of music you could think of. Music is my reason for living. I can't put into words how good Vinnie Colaiuta is.
@@Joker-ig8im He's a beast on Megadeth's 'The System Has Failed'.
@@philliptaylor5229 Thank you. Haven't heard it. Will check it out tonight when I get home and can hear it on my Audiophile System!
They are all so great
Watch 13 year old Yoyoka play this and your mind will be blown again.
Sting at the peak of his powers in this era. Awesome.

Exceptional drumming!
@@Blacktherivertv qq+!!+!+Q
@@Blacktherivertv Nobody -is the best drummer in the world;-)).Trust me.There is a number of great drummers(Colaiuta included) , great pianists, great keyboard players aaaa and important great composers.That's all what it is to it.There is no ''best'' after a certain level.How do you compare Miles to ...what?And ''So what''?If you compare.It does not count.Lost in space.Rachmaninoff to ...who?Why?Etc.
My son, who was a drummer for a college band, had difficulty playing 5/4. He perfected by practicing this song.
Put the snare on the 4 and the rest comes naturally
@@georgerussell2947 Basically becomes a compound of 3/4 and 2/4 - Everything's Alright from Jesus Christ Superstar has a similar feel, but with an extra hit on the 5
It's 5 / 8
Such a great example of flow
Amk
Colaiuta's drumming is just perfect here, 10/10
its actually 5/4..
Holy cow, didn't realize that was him!
@@MaintainMundane It's 11/10 for me..
10/8*
The cover is almost impossible😔for me
This is an absolute pop masterpiece. But it's also one of the greatest recorded drum tracks in pop music history. A doctoral dissertation could be written on Vinnie's performance.
Mr. Colaita is, indeed, one of the very best in the business. Creme de la creme. Makes the technically challenging look like child's play. There are only a few songs, especially in pop music, where the drum parts are so intricate and so central to the structure and fabric of the song as it is here. A masterpiece, indeed.
Sting is blessed to have worked with such awesome drummers. This guy is almost as good as Copeland
@@freebee8221 You mean Copeland is almost as good as Vinnie?
Love Copeland, but, we're talking probably the best alive, versus top 10, maybe top 5.
Not one note overplayed. Every hit intended. Perfect for the song. And yet, we are floored. Vinnie the master drummer.
Not only a masterclass in drumming from Vinnie Colaiuta, but I think this is one of Sting’s best songs ever (not that I think he’s ever written a bad one).
This recording session was all about superb songs.
I fully agree with you on this one my friend . 🎵🎶👌👌
Absolutely!! And Vinnie was one of my mayor influences on drums back in the 80’s!
Desert Rose has always been up there for me, but I do like this one too.
Best song of the best album.
Very few musicians on the planet have been on this guys level of genius.
I don't think Sting has ever written a bad song.
Drumming masterclass!
This has a nice jazzy riff to it-an underestimated classic
Russians, maybe...
So, so true !!

Sting Love The 1990's
I'm discovering this song in 2023 and man - what a track. Lyrics, chords, drumming, vocals - it's a a total masterpiece.
Agreed. Even the SOUND of the instruments. Those drums for example are so crisp, articulate, and punchy while sitting effortlessly in the mix. Don’t know of any other mix quite like it.
and the setting !!!!
The whole album, every song is a masterpiece. Because of the caliber of musicians he gathered it's by far his best album. Couldn't recommend it enough!
Thirty years on and it still hits the spot.
This is the reason why Sting's songs are uncopiable. What a great song for procrastinators.
This whole album is a masterpiece. His lyrics are sublime, and the music.....perfection.
🤩🤩
What was the album. I'm looking for it. Can you help?
@@acquiesce100 Ten Summoner's Tales 1993🙂
@@yacinecharene3535 Thank you, Yacine.
@@acquiesce100 you're welcome🙂
There's so much going on in this song. Everything about it spells perfection.
That's what I thought!
i thought it spelled 7 days :))
chris botti did a great guest appearance on their live performances in this too
One of my all time favorite songs. Ten Summoner’s Tales was so beautifully composed, a timeless masterpiece really.
Yep. It really stands alone in it's completeness (for want of a better word).
Passed me by first time around but it is an outstanding piece of work, perfectly executed as is most things has done. Reading his autobiography.. great sincere read.
Yes and to the average ear it is impossible to distinguish the notes , etc.
Unless you have a true musical genius ear.
... And the sound, guys. The sound!
This 5/4 groove is so fun to play. Vinnie is a legend
isnt it 5/8?
it is
This is 5/4, you count it in crotchets not quavers.
5/8
5/8 sunday be to late..
Joni Mitchell, Steely Dan's Walter Becker and Don Fagin -and Sting -the greatest songwriters of ALL time.I have grown up with Stings musicians as I have grown wiser and more subtly as a person -so has Stings alchemical grace and beauty -a joy .Thank you Gordon!
VINNIE!!
Ayo what a surprise!
Can we all agree on Master Colaiuta?
this song still awesome . nobody produce this kind of music anymore.
When you try and explain to someone that you like music that sounds full. This is it! Never gets old.
A masterpiece with a stratospheric Vinnie off the charts.
Everyone's talking about Sting and the drummer, but I fricking love that smile from the keyboardist at the beginning of the video!
i swear man! and that head tilt he does. makes you feel jealous, in a good way, of the fun they're having. i think he's looking at the drummer at that time
That’s cos he’s admiring Sting and Vinnie’s drumming lol he knows what’s coming
Man he's so goddamned into the pocket on that off rhythm stab/pluck....his meter was so consistent considering how he had to play 'out and around' what the drums were laying down.
Great work sir! Thanks
Sting writes with such honesty and integrigrity. He is a very acomplished artist in so many ways.
😉
Bravo!❤
The irony of a song called "seven days" being in 5/4. Really cool song.
I don't know what's more mesmerizing...Sting's voice or the instrumentals.
Wonderful track. I wish people were doing music like this now.
looking someone else there lombok land and life.. u will found more then sting polis
The little tastes of 6/8 he puts in the groove are amazing
I think it's 5/4
This is the most beautiful song ever written about procrastination! As a timid procrastinator, who has been in love with a woman for years, and not been able to marshal the courage to tell her how I feel, this song speaks to me on such a deep level.
***** Been there, done that...
+Drake Santiago Go for it Drake!
+Carey Cox
Right, you don't want to die knowing you never approached her.
+Carey Cox
What a tragic thought.
+Drake Santiago It took me 47 years but I told her in 2010. She did not feel the same as she is too good of a person to say that back to a (very committed) married guy. (In love only twice but both times for life) Life can be very complicated.

Nope, 2019 here!
Yep... was singing in the bathroom and then needed to hear it again
Me too man, that song is amazing!
Musicians at the top of their game -- alongside one of the best song writers.
Everything’s just perfect in this song. And Vinnie Colaiuta’s drumming is absolutely stunning.
Vinnie's drums on this are sublime and so damn awesome.
Ah, Vinnie, you drumming genius!
Sting: can you make it sound a bit more like Copeland?
This is by far the best band he's put together. They are so on, and the tour was even better! They are so tight...it's like they're just sitting there... waiting for the notes and they're perfect. Musicians like this make it LOOK easy. It's not! Each one is at the top of his game. Sting is so talented, he attracts them. All I can say is WOW! - honored to have seen this show 🙏🎶✨️✨️✨️
They are tight but I would debate you on that one and take his band from 'Bring On The Night' if you don't mind; Kenny Kirkland (keyboards), Darryl Jones (bass), Branford Marsalis (saxophone), Omar Hakim (drums).
@@anagram8 Ahhh you're right, good call! So much talent there
You know @@JTland-sea-air there's room for both schools of thought. I think Sting needed the first band as part of his growth moving on from the 'Police' and this group spoke to who he was during that part of his journey. I could see him having an entirely different band today that speaks to who he is now. We are different at different times of our journey and some how the same.
I would like to say that as a drummer who has been studying, for the past 30 years for the most part, this song in particular carries the benefit of total satisfaction. Vinnie is amazing. I am so thankful for Sting getting Vinnie on board for this album which is a masterpiece.
His taste and groove on this track is phenomenal.
@@mrshankly213 I agree. It is perfect in every way. Taste is the right word, every accent, the syncopation and polyrythms, and the authority in his limb independence flips all my switches and turns all my dials every time I hear it, since like, 1998? This isn't even my genre but I will go well outside of my comfort zone in order to hear something as outstanding as this. Vinnie is a gift!
The quality of the mainstream music back then was in a different universe compared with today, we've all been fed garbage for the last couple of decades.
The swing and dynamics in his playing is spine chilling. Wow.
This whole album was AWESOME!!!
Incredible songwriting and musicianship seemingly hidden in a "simple" song. What a treat to the ears this is. Beautiful drum work, the keys and guitar adding tension in the verse, and then the calm of the chorus. I love it. Absolutely master class production and playing. This is what makes me happy to be a musician.
Well said and TRUE!
You said it perfectly, I believe every musician can reach this level of musicianship if they get out of their own way and let the music take control!!!!
I love how Dr. Sting tells stories with his music. 🎭
Yes. Dr. Sting. Professor Sting, King Sting, Head mixer...
Vinnie’s ability to feel the vibe and flow of the song while adding a keen sense of rhythm and energy that ebbs and flows is truly amazing!!! ✌️😎🎤🔥🥁
This is a masterpiece. Period.
This Harkonnen fella sure knows how to write a tune.
Beautiful Feyd

Love this song. Masterclass in chord progressions.
LYRICS (YEAR 1993):
"Seven days" is all she wrote
A kind of ultimatum note
She gave to me
She gave to me
When I thought the field had cleared
It seems another suit appeared
To challenge me
Oh, woe is me
Though I hate to make a choice
My options are decreasing mostly rapidly
Well, we'll see
I don't think she'd bluff this time
I really have to make her mine
It's plain to see
It's him or me
Monday, I could wait 'til Tuesday
If I make up my mind
Wednesday would be fine
Thursday's on my mind
Friday'd give me time
Saturday could wait
Sunday'd be too late
The fact he's over six feet ten
Might instill fear in other men
But not in me
The mighty flea
Ask if I am mouse or man
The mirror squeaked, away I ran
He'll murder me
In time for his tea
Does it bother me at all
My rival is Neanderthal?
It makes me think, hey
Perhaps I need a drink
IQ is not an issue here
We won't be playing Scrabble
For her hand I fear
I need that beer, hey
Monday, I could wait 'til Tuesday
If I make up my mind
Wednesday would be fine
Thursday's on my mind
Friday'd give me time
Saturday could wait
Sunday'd be too late
Seven days will quickly go
The fact remains, I love her so (I love her so)
Seven days, so many ways
I can't run away
No, I can't run away
Monday, I could wait 'til Tuesday
If I make up my mind
Wednesday would be fine
Thursday's on my mind
Friday'd give me time
Saturday could wait
Sunday'd be too late
Oh, Sunday
Sunday'd too late, too late
Too late, too late, oh
Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met?
Oh!
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet
Masterpiece
'It seems another suitor appeared'
Vinnie... This never gets old.
"The fact he's over six feet ten / might instill fear in other men / but not in me, the mighty flea (flee?) / ask if I am mouse or man / the mirror squeaked, away I ran / he'll murder me in time for his tea" The singer reveals his physical and social intimidation, acknowledging his own delusion and cowardice - without surrendering his poetic nature. And somehow it's hilarious to me. I laugh every time. Genius songwriting.
(Also, those who owned Ten Summoner's Tales in physical format and read the lyrics will know I didn't make up "(flee?)")
He'll always be the king of pain, never forget, lad... he never hid his torment...
wait -- im lost -- is that the words he is singing - sounds like somebody's poem to me -- DUH ? hahehahehahe
@@user-du7pe6pm7d Ah wiz loast too, lad!!!
then that CHORUS! then , THAT BRIDGE!!!! swoon swoon swoon everytime
Sting Ten Summoner's Tales 1993
This song never gets old. No matter how much I listen, I never get bored.
Never ever❤
One of Sting's best songs. Vinnie is a beast on the drums. He's so inspirational♥️
He plays with right mood intense and calm
The lyrics in this song are perfection. The performance of them sublime. The music intricate and beautiful. The man behind it uncannily the only being alive capable of pulling it all together to intertwine into and beyond a masterpiece.
Beautifully said.
Agreed100%
I hope Sting reads this. When these songs came out, it was the lowest of my life, yet my best in a way, Thank you for this album. it really had a big influence on my life at the time. I learned to love animals., be aware of family, and to give to the community at this time. Thank you.
I thought that loving animals comes naturally
The level of jealousy towards Sting is...like the man is a genius certified! A magical elf who goes into the forest and comes out with a song. TF are these dislikes? Songwriting machine and picks the best musicians in the world. It's not his fault that his face is spectacular to top... and your wife wants to sit on his face lol. Blame his parents.
Loooool 😅
One of the few perfect songs. I never get tired of listening to Seven Days.
nothing like 5 beats per bar to make your soul want to fly
Beautiful lyrics, beautiful music, beautiful person. I love Sting and other artist of this genre of music. Timeless!
When you're so good your music video is an actual live performance.
From 2.57 I always dream to be Dominic Miller's hands, fabulous arpeggio !!!🤩
Damn, Vinnie adds so many tasty details to such a simple groove! He's undoubtedly a genius. Love to hear the man play.
Yep.
you ever hear about the rumour about Vinnie making a deal with the devil?? lol
Illuminati drummer so phenomenal
Simple groove?! Are you serious?!
Yeah, 5/4 not really all that simple.
This album to me is his crown Jewel. Every song in this album has become my favorite song at some point. Every track seems to tickle pockets of emotion tucked away over time.
I agree. I was in my last 2 years of college and this album would definitely help when it came time to relax. Brilliant.
Always! Ahead of his time!
TheAcarch2 True
His best album overall. His later albums had some good songs but none were as cohesive or as damn good as Ten Summoners Tales.
If there's anybody who understands exactly what you're saying, it's probably me.
Drummers who come from different dimensions
When I grow-up, can I play music like these pros???? I first listened to this song, many times, as the cassette repeatedly reversed itself, while traveling across the Ukraine. Gazing out of the windows of the rhythmically moving train, seeing the fields pass bye, lovers sitting by the ponds, small villages with the elderly strolling about their chores, as each tale from Sumner unfolded. Along the tracks, of the train and tunes, each exotic time signature made the journey a memorable experience, one that created a sense of newness, complimenting one another. Now that I am home, back in the States, so many years later, I travel, in mind, every time I rekindle the desire to sit-back, listening to the Sumner Tales.
Sting Love The 1990's
Sting Love The 1993
The perfect song...and more: it's a 5/4!
Imagine being musical geniuses like Andy Summers or Stewart Copeland and struggling to keep up with this guy.
This whole album was an absolute masterpiece,
and there are not a lot of true masterpieces out there.
I don't think Sting has ever written a bad song.
Not to mention that Vinnie Colaiuta's one of those drummers that's truly hypnotic to watch
+x1StapleGun He's one of my favorite drummers! I don't have many... (!)
Drummer Vinnie Colaiuta
I think your correct
He is a genius. This is possibly his best song. (Not counting The Police.)
Vinnie Colaiuta is from another 🌍. Amazing
The Yoda voice at the end 🤣okay Sting
Dear Sting,
If by chance, you'd read this, I'll gladly let you know your music is absolutely timeless. And I love it
Gorgeous song and Vinnie Colaiuta, you're the man! You make the drums sound like a hot cup of cocoa on a cold winter day.
Nearly 25 years listening to this gem and vinnie is still master puppeteer. His pockets just sound better
Salute to him for always making songs without any vulgarity or abusive words !
Habe es heute auf dem Rad zufällig nach langer Zeit in einem Podcast wieder gehört, mein Herz ging auf, sehr selten: Gänsehaut.
I can listen to this song over and over again. Great song!
Me too
Holy Crap... Gives me goosebumps every time I hear VC on this. Great song
Until now , every song I've heard of Sting I can say that he creates masterpieces by writing beautifully with no vulgarity , deep and amazing vocal and great lyrical melody !
I love the story in this song. Brilliant, it unfolds in your mind like a play.
The sound of rain falling onto puddles is here vividly painted in sound, exquisite
that drummer was spot on. the whole composition was amazing. something about sting always strikes me as genius. i love his eternal quest through all genres of music, finding harmony with all the talents in the world.
Simply brilliant lyrics! And then there's the musicianship! The chorus is a work of art in itself. And "Woe is me." 😉
Yes, lyrics are high, Mighty flea😊
Yeah yeah Vinnie's drumming is great... It's still adult contemporary, give me Stewart & Andy any day...
Drumming masterclass!
Increíblemente. 5/4 o 5/8?
5/4
5/8
Miss li
It would be 5/4 because it's 5 quarter notes per bar. 5/8 would mean there are 5 eighth notes per bar, which isn't true because in this song their are 10 eighth notes per bar.
This album plunged me further into depression after a breakup and then pulled me out of the depths just in time. It was there as a guide that led me out of massive depression. My fav drummer of his - of all time. Man, the bridge of this song hits me so damn hard still.
I hope you are feeling better now.
@@davidmg1925 I am. Thank you brother.
The cure: Saturday waits, sunday always comes too late... Is it a reference? Like it :)
Thank the Gods Sting left the classroom where he was an English teacher, and honored us with so many songs...and memories. 💜🤗✌💕Sting
Hello maris
How are you doing?
It's a pleasure to have you here!
Sting had fantastic taste in musicians, as evidenced here by Colaiuta and Sancious.
"Does it bother me at all? My rival is Neanderthal. It makes me think, perhaps I need a drink."
I read "Netherland" and was like, whattt
"IQ is no problem here. We won't playing Scrable for her hand I fear. I need that beer" 🍺😊

That's how to sing with drums. Perfectly nice duet with Sting's beautiful voice.
Just musical geniuses, casually having a jam session

Suitor. Not suit.
Legend.
Listening in 2024, was introduced to Sting /The Police by my brother when I was in high-school, 25 years later still loving Sting, from Elizabeth Mabole (nee August)
Can't stop listening. Love the lyrics and the drums. All his songs have meaningful lyrics
How brilliant is this. Sting was there with the Police in my musical infancy, now in my elder years there's still classics like these. Lucky to be alive during his career
The drums speak their own words...Sting was great live the other night here in Stockholm, Sweden. Cool man!
Jari Lindroos shit
I don't think we'll have another man like Sting.
This album is so hideously underrated in my opinion.
I was so impressed by the whole Ten Summoner's Tales LP by Sting which I first heard on big speakers in a well known London Recording Studio (Metropolis) whilst wiring it up at 3am in the morning.
As a drummer, this album was a massive change for me and Vinnie's playing is just fab with 5/4, 7/8 etc going on and I was in a band a few years later which did a lot of this and The Police stuff (yeah, it wasn't easy!).
Vinnie drumming: Genius.
The drums tho....Vinnie on another level.
This is MY favorite Sting song...
me too
The rhythm sounds normal... 'Till you count it!
3/2 or 5/4
Makumbo Lindo 5/8...
I started drumming half a year ago and still have no idea how to count a rhythm that i hear...
Krzysztof Babul
Hello. Well that´s is gonna take you some time. You have to get help with music theory and start reading, is hard work and you have to practice and practice and practice, not short cut alloweds. Good luck and don´t give up.
But how to learn the counting
That day all the planets aligned - then all the drum gods decided to give Vinnie that perfect tune and that perfect day at the studio.
