Description

Sting Sunday’s EP.15
“Wrapped Around Your Finger”
We return to Gordon’s favourite theme of “I love you, you love someone else” of course written in the way that only he could. His use of Greek mythology in ‘Scylla & Charybdis’ (analogous to choosing the lesser of two evils or being stuck between a rock & a hard place) and Mephistopheles (an agent to the devil himself) require more commitment from the listener than the standard Pop/Rock tune. He manages to make an affair with a married woman sound, again, like poetry in motion.

One of my earliest musical memories is falling in love with a cassette tape of an album called “Dream Of The Blue Turtles”. I recall hearing those songs and for the first time in my life to that point, making an emotional connection to what I was hearing. I also remember seeing the music videos that accompanied that album and wondering who this cool, slick looking, guitar playing singer was. My parents even tell me that I wanted to style my hair like him! Over the next three decades from that point, I rarely fell out of stead with his music the way that I moved on from other influences.
As the world changes, the nature of my work is changing quite drastically and I’ve come across the dreaded “Tracks” gigs again. This time however, as a singing bass player, things are quite a bit more interesting because of the tracks that I’ve come across, which you’ll hear in these videos. I’m releasing them not only as a way to maintain my sanity and chops but also, of course, as a little hero worship as one does. I hope you enjoy listening and maybe even connecting a little with the music of Sting as I have.
