Kurzbeschreibung
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.

Intriguing... we want more!
31. Oktober 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Upon reading this book, i found the explanations and stories behind the songs very interesting. Sting has always been a prolific songwriter... especially during the years following The Police.
I guess I would have enjoyed more/deeper insights. But as a long-time Sting fan, I found this book very enjoyable.
It also serves as a great coffee-table book, since it's easy for guests to pick up & put down (ie- no real plot-line).
To those negative reviewers:
1) Read the actual book
2) Yes Sting is a bit narcissistic, but at least he can back it up. What's your problem?

A great book for Sting and Police fans!
27. Dezember 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I received this book as a Christmas present, and I've already devoured it.
This is a handsomely produced book containing all of Sting's lyrics from the five Police albums, and his solo output up to his last disc, "Sacred Love".
The actual physical construction of the book is gorgeous. The vellum-like wrap, the gentle coloring to the photos and text...it's a pleasure to read.
The book is loosely structured according to each album. He prefaces each album with a page or so of comments and thoughts, and then about 75% of the time makes individual notes for a single song. Not every song gets a comment, but all the "big ones" do.
Being a HUGE Police (and Sting) fan, I knew about half of the stuff he says from previous interviews, but there's a lot of new stuff here, and having it collated in one place is very nice.
I am a poetry hater. I have never understood nor liked poetry, and as you can imagine, reading song lyrics can either come across as decent poetry or puerile gibberish.
As I'm so familiar with these songs, I found it, for the most part, quite pleasurable reading through some of his songs. Most interesting is the progression from his punky-pop beginnings to his literate, complex tales as a solo artist.
For fans, this not only is a no-brainer, it's essential.

Still in the Dark
22. Dezember 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
It is difficult for me to admit this, since I am a big fan of Sting and his work, but this book is a real disappointment.
Granted, I'm happy enough to have it on my shelf. It's nice to have all Sting's lyrics collected in one place. It's interesting to see how I've misinterpreted some things over the years; particularly, some of the harder rocking songs of the early era of The Police, when it was more difficult to make out the words. Still, I was hoping for much more.
The biggest problem, I think, is that there's so little here beyond the lyrics themselves. I guess of was hoping for much more in terms of background, interpretation and self-criticism of the work. That would have made this volume must-have interesting. But most of the songs have nothing extra in the way of commentary by Sting and those that do are little helped by what he does have to say.
For some reason, Sting still wants to cast darkness over his years as a successful musician. His autobiography, Broken Music, is wonderful--insightful and reflective--but he stops his tale as The Police are forming. In this book he once again had an opportunity to shed some light through the lens of his lyrics and he passed it by. Hopefully, someday he'll be willing to settle down and give us his impressions of his life since the late 1970's. For now, his fans will still have to wait.
