Product Description

Product Description

Sting and The Police have been global stars ever since their first hit with Roxanne. Now, for the first time, Sting has collected his song lyrics since 1978 and publishes them in a handsome hardback volume. LYRICS is a comprehensive collection of Sting's song lyrics spanning his entire career from the early days of the The Police through to Sacred Love, his latest album. Song lyrics are presented in album order, and coupled with newly-written commentary by Sting about the lyrics, the records, and his career as a songwriter in general. The book is enhanced by wonderful photographs from every period. This beautifully-produced hardback - featuring a two-colour designed interior over its 270 pages - is the ideal keepsake for the artists' fans. Timed to follow the wave of excitement following the internationally sold-out reunion tour, LYRICS will be one of the most requested gifts of Christmas 2007.

4.0 out of 5 stars Are song lyrics poetry or just a collection of words?, 26 May 2008
By DJC (London, UK) - See all my reviews
In this book, Sting invites the question of how successfully his song lyrics can survive on their own, devoid of their musical accompaniment, and whether they actually represent poetic prose. The book takes the reader on a journey through the thoughts of the author, as a rock musician, with commentaries and introductory narratives for selected songs.

Despite some lyrics falling flat when presented in their raw state without the accompanying music, many songs' lyrics are resilient and substantial enough to work surprisingly well as a form of poetry. It is interesting to observe the development of Sting's lyrical prowess over the past 30 years, from the early days of The Police to the more sophisticated Synchronicity era and his subsequent solo career. The book certainly provides a unique collection of the impressive body of work that Sting has produced.

The aesthetics and presentation of the contents in this book are of the highest quality. No doubt fans of Sting will appreciate both the lyrics as well as the sepia photos of the author over the years, interspersed throughout the text.

Poetry or a collection of words . . . you decide, but it's worth a look to find out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ste_wonder, 12 May 2008
By Mr. Stephen J. Hutton "Ste_wonder" (Birmingham) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
personally i don't think anyone has the right to critique anything before they have expereinced it. put your money where your mouth is, buy it, read it, then slate it if it is well justified.

Considering Sting's career has lasted more for more than most artists can ever hope for, his "leeereeek's" as you so ostentatiously put, must speak to a fair number of people.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great purchase for Sting fans, 5 Feb 2009
By Daina Ejaba (Riga,Latvia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you are a Sting fan, then it`s perfect for you. In this book there are all lyrics from first Police album until Sting last album in 2003. For me it was interesting to read Sting`s comments about songs - some longer, some shorter. In beggining of every album, there are Sting`s comment - how that particular album was made. Now i listen to many songs differently, because i understand meaning of them, not only what i thought of them, but also what Sting was trying to say to us.

"lyrics" is something we used to say at school when there were some particularly stupid lyrics in a song. Except, we said it more like "leereeks". Read more
