Every Breath you Take
Songwriters: Sting;
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
Ill be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay

Since youve gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but its you I cant replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby, please...
Oh, cant you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches

Every smile you fake

stage name Sting, is an English musician from Wallsend in North Tyneside. Prior to
starting his solo career, he was the principal songwriter, lead singer and bassist of
the rock band The Police. As a solo musician and member of The Police, Sting has sold
over 100 million records[1], and received over sixteen Grammy Awards for his work,
receiving his first Grammy for Best Rock Instrumental Performance in 1981, and receiving
an Oscar nomination for best song.[2][3]
Biography
Early life
Sumner was born in Wallsend (an area of North Tyneside in the northeast of England[4])
to Ernest Sumner and his wife Audrey Cowell, a hairdresser. Ernest and Audrey had three
more children after Gordon: a son (Philip) and two daughters (Angela and Anita). Ernest
managed a dairy: young Gordon would often assist his father with the early-morning
milk-delivery rounds. The Sumner siblings were raised as Roman Catholics, due to the
influence of their Irish paternal grandmother. Early on, young Sumner's "best friend"
was an old Spanish guitar with five rusty strings left behind by an uncle who'd emigrated
to Canada. Gordon attended St Cuthbert's High School in Newcastle upon Tyne. Later,
he left the University of Warwick in Coventry, after only one term. During this time,
Gordon would often sneak into nightclubs like the Club-A-Go-Go. Here, he would watch
musicians such as Jack Bruce and Jimi Hendrix... artists who would later influence
Sumner's own music. After jobs as a bus conductor, a construction labourer, and a
tax officer, Gordon attended Northern Counties College of Education, (which later
became part of Northumbria University) from 1971 to 1974 and qualified as a teacher.
[5] He then worked as a schoolteacher at St. Paul's First School in Cramlington for
two years. His experiences there would inspire him to write two of the Police's most
notable hits: "Don't Stand So Close To Me" and "Roxanne". Each was loosely based on
one of his favourite books: Lolita and Cyrano de Bergerac, respectively.From an early age, Sumner knew that he wanted to be a musician. His first music gigs
were wherever he could get a job. He performed evenings, weekends, and during vacations
from college and from teaching. He played with local jazz bands such as the Phoenix
Jazzmen, the Newcastle Big Band, and Last Exit.Origin of nickname
Sting has stated that he gained his nickname while with the Phoenix Jazzmen.
He once performed wearing a black and yellow sweater with hooped stripes that bandleader
Gordon Solomon had noted made him look like a bumblebee; thus Sumner became "Sting".
In a press conference filmed in the movie Bring on the Night, he jokingly stated when
referred to by a journalist as Gordon, "My children call me Sting, my mother calls me
Sting, who is this Gordon character?"The Police
In January 1977, Sting moved from Newcastle to London, and soon thereafter he joined
Stewart Copeland and Henry Padovani (who was soon replaced by Andy Summers) to form the
New Wave band The Police. Between 1978 and 1983, they released five chart-topping albums
and won six Grammy Awards.Although their initial sound was punk inspired, The Police soon switched to reggae-tinged
rock and minimalist pop. Their last album, Synchronicity, which included their most
successful song, "Every Breath You Take", was released in 1983.While never formally breaking up, after Synchronicity, the group agreed to concentrate on
solo projects. As the years went by, the band members, particularly Sting, increasingly
dismissed the possibility of reforming. In 2007, however, the band reformed and undertook
a world tour.Early solo work
In September 1981, Sting made his first live solo appearance, performing on all four nights
of the fourth Amnesty International benefit The Secret Policeman's Other Ball at the
invitation of producer Martin Lewis. He performed solo versions of "Roxanne" and
"Message in a Bottle", playing the guitar.He also led an all-star band (dubbed "The Secret Police") on his own arrangement of
Bob Dylan's, "I Shall Be Released". The band and chorus included Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck,
Phil Collins, Bob Geldof and Midge Ure, all of whom (except Beck) later worked together on
Live Aid.His performances were featured prominently in the album and movie of the show and drew
Sting major critical attention. Sumner's participation in The Secret Policeman's Other
Ball was the beginning of his growing involvement in raising money and consciousness for
political and social causes.In 1982 he released a solo single, "Spread a Little Happiness" from the film version of
the Dennis Potter television play Brimstone and Treacle. The song was a re-interpretation
of a song from the 1920s musical Mr. Cinders by Vivian Ellis, and was a surprise Top 20 hit
in the UK.1980s
Sting's first solo album, 1985's The Dream of the Blue Turtles, featured a cast of
accomplished jazz musicians, including Kenny Kirkland, Darryl Jones, Omar Hakim, and
Branford Marsalis. It included the hit single "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free".
The single included a fan favourite non-LP track titled "Another Day". The album also
yielded the hits "Fortress Around Your Heart", "Russians", and "Love is the Seventh Wave".
Within a year, it reached Triple Platinum. This album would help Sting garner a Grammy
nomination for Album of the Year. The film and video Bring on the Night documented the
formation of the band and its first concert in France.Also in 1985, he sang the introduction and chorus to "Money for Nothing", a groundbreaking
song by Dire Straits (he was given co-writer status and receives royalties based on his
somewhat minor performance, supposedly because he reused his melody from The Police hit
"Don't Stand So Close to Me" for his vocal parts. It is one of only two shared songwriting
credits on any Dire Straits album). He performed this song with Dire Straits at the Live
Aid Concert at Wembley Stadium. Sting also provided a short guest vocal performance on the
Miles Davis album You're Under Arrest. He also sang backing vocals in Arcadia's single
"The Promise" from their only album, So Red the Rose. He also contributed a version of
"Mack the Knife" to the Hal Willner-produced tribute album Lost in the Stars: The Music of
Kurt Weill.Sting released ...Nothing Like the Sun in 1987, including the hit songs "We'll Be Together",
"Fragile", "Englishman in New York", and "Be Still My Beating Heart", dedicated to his
recently-deceased mother. It eventually went Double Platinum. The song "The Secret Marriage"
from this album was adapted from a melody by German composer Hanns Eisler, and "Englishman
In New York" was about the eccentric writer Quentin Crisp. The album's title is taken from
William Shakespeare's Sonnet 130.Soon thereafter, in February 1988, he released Nada Como el Sol, a selection of five songs
from Sun sung (by Sting himself) in Spanish and Portuguese. Sting was also involved in two
other recordings in the late 1980s, the first in 1987 with noted jazz arranger Gil Evans
who placed Sting in a big band setting for a live album of Sting's songs (the CD was not
released in the U.S.), and the second on Frank Zappa's 1988 Broadway the Hard Way album,
where Sting performs an unusual arrangement of "Murder By Numbers", set to the tune "Stolen
Moments" by jazz composer Oliver Nelson, and "dedicated" to fundamentalist evangelist Jimmy
Swaggart.October 1988 saw the release of Igor Stravinsky's The Soldier's Tale with the London
Sinfonietta conducted by Kent Nagano. It featured Vanessa Redgrave, Sir Ian McKellen and
Sting in the role of the soldier.1990s
Sting's 1991 album The Soul Cages was dedicated to his recently deceased father and
included the Top 10 song "All this Time", which reached #5 on the U.S. Pop chart, and the
Grammy-winning "Soul Cages". The album eventually went Platinum. The following year, he
married Trudie Styler and was awarded an honorary doctorate degree in music from
Northumbria University. In 1993, he released the album Ten Summoner's Tales, which went
Triple Platinum in just over a year. Ten Summoner's Tales was nominated for the Mercury
Prize in 1993 and nominated for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1994. The title
is wordplay on his surname, Sumner and The Summoner's Tale, one of The Canterbury Tales.
The single, "Fields of Gold" had moderate success on radio airways. Concurrent video albums
were released to support Soul Cages (a live concert) and Ten Summoner's Tales (recorded
during the recording sessions for the album).In May 1993, Sting released a cover of his own classic Police song from the Ghost in the
Machine album, "Demolition Man" for the Demolition Man film.Sting reached a pinnacle of success in 1994. Together with Bryan Adams and Rod Stewart,
they performed the chart-topping song "All For Love" from the film The Three Musketeers.
The song stayed at the top of the U.S. charts for five weeks and went Platinum; it is to
date Sting's only song from his post-Police career to top the U.S. charts. In February, he
won two more Grammy Awards and was nominated for three more. The Berklee College of Music
gave him his second honorary doctorate of music degree in May. In November, he released a
greatest hits compilation called Fields of Gold: The Best of Sting, which eventually was
certified Double Platinum.Sting's 1996 album, Mercury Falling debuted strongly with the single "Let Your Soul Be
Your Pilot", but it dropped quickly on the charts. He reached the Top 40 with two singles
the same year with "You Still Touch Me" (June) and "I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying"
(December) (which became a country music hit the next year in a version recorded with
American country singer Toby Keith). During this period, Sting was also recording music for
the upcoming Disney film Kingdom of the Sun, which went on to be reworked into The
Emperor's New Groove. The film went through drastic overhauls and plot changes, many of
which were documented by Sting's wife, Trudie Styler. She captured the moment he was called
by Disney who then informed him that his songs would not be used in the final film. The
story was put into a final product: The Sweatbox, which premièred at the Toronto Film
Festival. Disney currently holds the rights to the film and will not grant its release.
That same year Sting also released a little-known CD-ROM called All This Time, which
provided music, commentary and custom computer features describing Sting and his music
from his perspective.Also in 1996, Sting provided some vocals for the Tina Turner single "On Silent Wings" as a
part of her Wildest Dreams album. Sting has also co-operated with Greek popular singer
George Dalaras, giving a common concert in Athens."Moonlight", a rare jazz performance by Sting for the 1995 remake of Sabrina, written by
Alan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman and John Williams, was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for
Best Song Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or Television.2000s
Sting live in Budapest, 2000The Emperor's New Groove soundtrack was released with complete songs from the previous
version of the film, which included Rascal Flatts and Shawn Colvin. This is seen by many
as a move on Disney's part to soothe the relationship with Sting and to keep open the door
for future projects. The final single used to promote the film was "My Funny Friend and Me".Sting's September 1999 album Brand New Day included the Top 40 hits "Brand New Day" and
"Desert Rose". The album went Triple Platinum by January 2001. In 2000, he won Grammy
Awards for Brand New Day and the song of the same name. At the awards ceremony, he
performed "Desert Rose" with his collaborator on the album version, Cheb Mami. For his
performance, the Arab-American Institute Foundation gave him the Khalil Gibran Spirit of
Humanity Award. However, Sting was criticised for appearing in a Jaguar advertisement using
"Desert Rose" as its backing track, particularly as he was a notable environmentalist.In February 2001 he won another Grammy. His song "After The Rain Has Fallen" made it into
the Top 40. His next project was to record a live album at his Tuscan villa, which was to
be released as a CD and DVD, as well as being simulcast in its entirety on the internet.
The CD and DVD were to be entitled On such a night and was intended to feature re-workings
of Sting favourites such as "Roxanne" and "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free." The
concert, however, was scheduled for September 11, 2001 and due to the terrorist attacks in
America that day, the project was altered in various ways. The webcast was shut down after
one song (a reworked version of "Fragile"), after which Sting let it be up to the audience
whether or not to continue with the show. Eventually they decided to go through with the
concert, and the resultant album and DVD was released in November under a different title,
...All This Time. Both are dedicated "to all those who lost their lives on that day".He performed a special arrangement of "Fragile" with Yo-Yo Ma and the Mormon Tabernacle
Choir during the opening ceremonies of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah.In 2002 Sting won a Golden Globe Award and in June, he was inducted into the Songwriters
Hall of Fame. In the summer, Sting was awarded the honour of Commander of the Order of the
British Empire (CBE). In 2003 he released Sacred Love, a studio album featuring
collaborations with hip-hop artist Mary J. Blige and sitar maestro Anoushka Shankar. He
and Blige won a Grammy for their duet, "Whenever I Say Your Name". The album did not have
the hit singles like his previous releases. The first single, "Send Your Love" reached
only #30 and reviews were mixed. However, the album did reach platinum status by January
2004.His autobiography Broken Music was published in October. Sting embarked on a Sacred Love
tour in 2004 with performances by Annie Lennox. Sting went on the Broken Music tour,
touring smaller venues, with a four piece band starting in Los Angeles on 28 March 2005
and ending this "College Tour" on 14 May 2005. Sting appears as a guest on the 2005
Monkey Business CD by American hip-hop group The Black Eyed Peas, adding vocals to the
track "Union" which makes heavy use of samples from his Englishman in New York.
Continuing with his involvement in Live Aid, he appeared at Live 8 in July 2005. During
2006, Sting collaborated with Roberto Livi in producing a Spanish language version of his
cult classic "Fragile" entitled "Fragilidad" on the album Rhythms Del Mundo by Latino
recording legends "The Buena Vista Sound" (previously known as the Buena Vista Social Club)
available via www.apeuk.org.In October 2006, Sting released an album, to mixed reviews, entitled Songs from the
Labyrinth featuring the music of John Dowland (an Elizabethan-era composer) and
accompaniment from Bosnian lute player Edin Karamazov. As a part of the promotion of this
album, he appeared on the fifth episode of Studio 60 during which he performed a segment
of Dowland's "Come Again" as well as his own "Fields of Gold" in the arrangement for voice
and two archlutes. Reports surfaced in early 2007 that Sting would reunite with his former
Police bandmates for a 30th anniversary tour. These rumours were confirmed by posts on the
popular fanzine Stingus and on various other newswebsites such as De Standaard, Yahoo! etc.
In May 2007, Deutsche Grammophon releases the opera Welcome to the Voice composer Steve
Nieve), with Sting portraying the main character, Dyonisos.On 11 February 2007, Sting reunited with the other members of the Police as the
introductory act for the 2007 Grammy Awards, singing "Roxanne", and subsequently announced
The Police Reunion Tour, the first concert of which was held in Vancouver on 28 May in
front of 22,000 fans at one of two nearly sold-out concerts. The Police toured for more
than a year, beginning with North America and eventually crossing over to Europe, South
America, Australia & New Zealand and Japan. The last concert was at Madison Square Garden
on 7 August 2008, during which Sting's three daughters appeared with him onstage.In 2007 he recorded a song called "Power's Out" with Nicole Scherzinger (lead singer of
the Pussycat Dolls) the song is featured on her debut album Her Name Is Nicole which she
is prepared to release in the beginning of 2008. On 1 February 2008, "Power's Out" was
added on Nicole's official website and now "Power's Out" will be the official second
single off Her Name Is Nicole.He is featured as a playable character in the video game Guitar Hero World Tour[6].

(Mack the Knife) in the The Threepenny Opera, the classic 1928 German musical work by Bertolt Brecht
and Kurt Weill in New York and Washington. He most recently appeared as a musical guest on the fictional
series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.Sting appeared on the television sitcom Ally McBeal as himself, being sued for appearing to sing to a
fan by the fan's husband.Activism
While with the Police, Sting wrote "Driven to Tears", an angry indictment of apathy in the
face of world hunger, and it preceded his work on Bob Geldof's "Feed The World" project.Sting sang on "Do They Know It's Christmas?" -- a hit single from Geldof's pop music
super-group called "Band Aid" which eventually led to the Live Aid Concert in July 1985,
in which Sting also took part, performing with Branford Marsalis, Phil Collins, and with
the group Dire Straits.Throughout the 1980s, Sting strongly supported environmentalism and humanitarian movements,
such as Amnesty International. In 1986 he was interviewed by the BBC about the origins of
his support for Amnesty International and he stated: "I've been a member of Amnesty and a
support member for five years, due to an entertainment event called The Secret Policeman's
Ball and before that I did not know about Amnesty, I did not know about its work, I did not
know about torture in the world."Sting's first involvement in the human rights cause occurred in September 1981 when he was
invited by producer Martin Lewis to participate in the fourth Amnesty International gala
The Secret Policeman's Other Ball following the example set at the 1979 show by Pete
Townshend.[7] Sting performed two of his Police compositions as a soloist - "Roxanne" and
"Message in a Bottle"' - appearing on all four nights of the show at the Theatre Royal in
London. Sting also led an impromptu super-group of other musicians (dubbed The Secret
Police) performing at the show including Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Phil Collins, Donovan,
Bob Geldof and Midge Ure in the show's grand finale - Sting's own reggae-tinged arrangement
of Bob Dylan's I Shall Be Released. The event was the first time that Sting had worked with
Geldof, Collins and Ure - an association that developed further with 1984's Band Aid and
1985's Live Aid. Sting's performance - his first live appearances as a solo performer - was
prominently featured on the album of the show (being its lead tracks) and in the film. In
1986, Sting was one of the headline performers on Amnesty's A Conspiracy of Hope tour of
the US. In late 1986, Sting visited Quentin Crisp in his New York City apartment and
learned about what it was like for Crisp to grow up gay in the homophobic 1920s - 1960s.
As a result, Sting dedicated the song "Englishman In New York" to Crisp.A high point in his many contributions to human-rights causes came in 1988, when he joined
a team of other major musicians - including Peter Gabriel and Bruce Springsteen - assembled
under the banner of Amnesty International for the six-week world tour Human Rights Now!
Tour celebrating the 40th anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights.In 1988, he released the single "They Dance Alone" which chronicled the plight of the
mothers, wives and daughters of the "disappeared", the innocent victims of the Pinochet
regime in Chile. Unable to publicly voice their grievances to the government about their
missing loved ones, for fear that they would "go missing" too, the women of Chile would
pin photos of their "disappeared" relatives on their clothing, and dance in silent outrage
against the government in public places.With his wife Trudie Styler and Raoni Metuktire, a Kayapó Indian leader in Brazil, Sting
founded the Rainforest Foundation to help save the rainforests. His support for these
causes continues to this day, and includes an annual benefit concert held at New York's
Carnegie Hall with Billy Joel, Elton John, James Taylor and other music superstars. A
species of Colombian tree frog, Dendropsophus stingi, was named after him in recognition
of his "commitment and efforts to save the rain forest" (Kaplan 1994).Sting and his wife Trudie Styler were awarded the Peace Abbey Courage of Conscience award
in Sherborn Mass on 30 June 2000. Singer/song writer, documentary film producers for their
commitment to the environment through the establishment of the Rainforest Foundation; to
human rights in China through the documentary film on Tiananmen Square; and to peace and
social justice through the powerful gift of song.[8]On October 21, 1991, Sting joined Don Henley and Billy Joel at New York's Madison Square
Garden for a benefit rock show called The Concert for Walden Woods.On September 15, 1997, Sting joined Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Eric Clapton, Sir Elton John,
Phil Collins and Mark Knopfler at London's Royal Albert Hall for Music For Montserrat, a
benefit concert for the Carribean island that had recently been devastated by an eruption
from a volcano.He also took part in the post-9-11 rock telethon to raise money for the families of the
victims of terror attacks in the United States.On July 2nd, 2005, Sting performed at the Live 8 concert, the follow up to 1985's Live Aid
Concert.In 2007, Sting joined his friends Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland in his reunited band,
The Police, and played the closing set at the Live Earth Concert at Giants Stadium in East
Rutherford, New Jersey. Joined by John Mayer and Kanye West, Sting and the Police fittingly
ended the show singing "Message in a Bottle," as the event was dubbed "The SOS Concert."In 2008 Sting contributed to a music album called Songs for Tibet, to support Tibet and the
current Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso.[9]Personal life
Sting married actress Frances Tomelty from Northern Ireland, on 1 May 1976. Before they
divorced in 1984, the couple had two children: Joseph (born 1976) and Fuchsia Catherine
(a.k.a. "Kate", born 1982). Joe Sumner is a member of the band Fiction Plane. In 1980
Sting became a tax exile and moved to Galway in Ireland.In 1982, shortly after the birth of his second child, Sting separated from Tomelty and
began living with actress (and later film producer) Trudie Styler. The couple eventually
married in 1992. Sting and Styler have four children: Bridget Michael (a.k.a. "Mickey",
born 19 January 1984), Jake (born 24 May 1985), Eliot Pauline (nicknamed "Coco", born 30
July 1990), and Giacomo Luke (born 17 December 1995).Both of Sting's parents died from cancer in 1987. He did not, however, attend either
funeral stating that the media fuss would be disrespectful to his parents.[10]1995 found Sting preparing for a court appearance, against his former accountant who had
misappropriated several million pounds of his money, much to the amusement of the press,
without Sting even knowing it had vanished.Sting owns several homes worldwide, including Elizabethan manor house Lake House and its
60-acre country estate in Wiltshire, England, a country cottage in the Lake District, a
New York City apartment, a beach house in Malibu, California, a 600-acre (2.4 km2) estate
in Tuscany, Italy, and two properties in London: an apartment on The Mall, an 18th century
terrace house in Highgate.[11] And he used to own a home in West Hempstead, New York.According to an interview he did for German television broadcaster NDR in 1996, Sting chose
a tree on the Lake House estate beside where he wishes to be buried someday.To keep physically fit, for years Sting ran five miles (8 km) a day, and performed aerobics.
He participated in running races at Parliament Hill and charity runs similar to the British
10K. However, around 1990 he met Danny Paradise who introduced him to yoga. Soon after,
Sting began practicing yoga regularly. His practice consisted primarily of an Ashtanga
Vinyasa Yoga series, though now he practices many other forms. He has practiced with
notable teachers: Danny Paradise, Ganga White, Tracey Rich, Sharon Gannon, David Life,
Maty Ezraty, and Seane Corn. He wrote a forward to the book, Yoga Beyond Belief, by Ganga
White in 2007.An avid chess player, Sting played Garry Kasparov in an exhibition game in 2000.[12][13]
Sting is also a vegetarian.[14]He is also reportedly a fan of the Premiership Football Team, Newcastle United.
