Sting: Mad about you

Durante bastante tempo fui fã do Sting. Mais precisamente até ao "Mercury Falling" (inclusive). Depois... Depois é outra história, mas o que interessa é deste período que realmente gosto. Desta fase, mais especificamente do disco "Soul Cages", escolhi este "Mad about you".

O que mais me cativa nesta música é a letra pungente e o toque místico do timbre da música.

A letra tem "pedaços" que gosto especialmente:

And from the dark secluded valleys
I heard the ancient songs of sadness
But every step I thought of you

... e recalca...

Every footstep only you
And every star a grain of sand
The leavings of a dried up ocean
Tell me, how much longer? How much longer?

It would make a prison of my life
If you became another's wife
With every prison blown to dust
My enemies walk free
I'm mad about you I'm mad about you

A stones's throw from Jerusalem
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
And though a million stars were shining
My heart was lost on a distant planet
That whirls around the April moon
Whirling in an arc of sadness
I'm lost without you I'm lost without you
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand
And fall into the sea
I'm mad about you I'm mad about you

Alguém me percebe?
