  • The lyrics to Sting's "Fragile," taken from the album Fields of Gold: The Best of Sting 1984-1994.
    This is what Sting had to say in his lyric's book:
    "This song seems to have lent itself to many situations throughout its life. It was originally written in 1987, on the island of Montserrat during a weeklong tropical storm. The rain just kept falling and falling. I had read a newspaper report about a young man called Ben Linder, an American engineer working in Nicaragua, who was murdered by the Contras. At the time it was becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish "Democratic Freedom Fighters" from drug-dealing gangsters, or Peace Crops workers from Marxist revolutionaries. Ben died because of this confusion.
    "Later, the song was informally adopted by the ecology movement as a a hymn to the fragility of the planet, and by radio stations across the country as they struggled to find appropriate music to express the tragedy of the Twin Towers in New York. So many innocent lives were lost, including a friend of Trudie's, Herman Sandler.
    "'Fragile' had found yet another home to work its comforting solace" (Sting 130).
