When Sting embarked on his solo career, he didn't throw his tenure with the Police out the window; on this live double album from his Dream of the Blue Turtles tour, he reworks some odd selections from his old band's catalog in the expansive, jazz-inflected style of his new crew (which included saxophonist Branford Marsalis). These performances emphasize showmanship (solos, backup singers, and all) and they've got lots of crowd-pleasing moments, like the overwhelming swell of "I Burn for You" and a Caribbean clap-along on a medley of "One World" and "Love Is the Seventh Wave." But Sting's raw-steak voice has been affected by his band, too, and his phrasing on the quieter torch songs draws cleverly on jazz traditions.

The live setting for this song was inspired by the Stonehenge scene from *This is Spinal Tap*, whereupon misjudging the drawing of the said monument, they made that model be 18 inches (rather than feet).

I always wondered if this was supposed to have been a Police song. It sounds like one, more so than any of his other solo material.

He is there on his own side of a river." I did not know there was such thing. ", says a woman in a long dress. " Such a thing as what? ", he asks. " One's own side of a river. ", she replies. That may be how it all began, but how he managed to stay that way I do not know.

*Fortress Around Your Heart*Under the ruins of a walled cityCrumbling towers and beams of yellow lightNo flags of truce, no cries of pityThe siege guns had been pounding all through the nightIt took a day to build the cityWe walked through its streets in the afternoonAs I returned across the lands I'd knownI recognized the fields where I'd once playedI had to stop in my tracks for fearOf walking on the mines I'd laidAnd if I built this fortress around your heartEncircled you in trenches and barbed wireThen let me build a bridgeFor I cannot fill the chasmAnd let me set the battlements on fireThen I went off to fight some battleThat I'd invented inside my headAway so long for years and yearsYou probably thought or even wished that I was deadWhile the armies are all sleepingBeneath the tattered flag we'd madeI had to stop in my track for fearOf walking on the mines I'd laidAnd if I built this fortress around your heartEncircled you in trenches and barbed wireThen let me build a bridgeFor I cannot fill the chasmAnd let me set the battlements on fireThis prison has now become your homeA sentence you seem prepared to payIt took a day to build the cityWe walked through its streets in the afternoonAs I returned across the lands I'd knownI recognized the fields where I'd once playedI had to stop in my tracks for fearOf walking on the mines I'd laidAnd if I built this fortress around your heartEncircled you in trenches and barbed wireThen let me build a bridgeFor I cannot fill the chasmAnd let me set the battlements on fire
