Sting and his musical life

HI! Today, I came back with Sting. I'll try to keep today's post short but effective.

First, I'll introduce Sting.

Sting is a British musician, actor, and social activist. He contemporary of Eric Clapton he and also hails from the same country! He was born in 1951, with and given the name Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner. He first rose to fame in the band, 'The Police'. He left that band in 1984, and started a solo career with under the musical name, 'Sting'. His songs were really great, and lots of people liked them. 

Now he's 62, but he still sings and appears on many TV programs. I watched him talking on TED which drew my interest to his videos.

There are many songs by Sting but I'll just mention one song that I really like.

This song is famous for deep guitar arpeggio of guitar and it was the title track of the movie Leon the Professional. Can you guess what it is? 

It's 'Shape of my heart'.

This song became very famous because of the success of the movie. I just like this song in ways that I cannot explain in words. If you don't know about this song, you should listen to it. There are many other great songs by Sting like 'Englishman in New York' but in my opinion, "Shape of My Heart" is the best.

Today's post was really short, wasn't it? Sting can also play the harmonica and saxophone without the guitar. Actually the harmonica reminded me of Korea's 7080 singer, Kim Gwang Seok. I love his songs, too.

Now it's time to say goodbye. Bye have a good day!
