Borrowed this 'best of Sting' album from a friend of mine, started to listen to it when I was studying while babysitting.
Most of the songs are really great music to play when studying, but a few, like Russians and Fortress Around Your Heart you'd better not play when you're busy. I couldn't keep my attention at my books.. No problem to me, because especially Russians is a very beautiful song! I gave up studying for a while so I could listen better. I love both the music and the lyric. It's about the Cold War, and it really left an impression on me.
All This Time remembered me of Simon and Garfunkel. But they would have done better, I think.
I like many of the songs, though the lyrics are way better then the songs (in my opinion). Sometimes the cd is just boring… and there's one song I wouldn't recommend at all, that's This Cowboy Song. Still, the lyrics are really good!
I tried listening while traveling, working and relaxing. Conclusion:
