Sting is totally different, his words and music touches my feeling so deep

i agree with little budy before me i like both but the babe sings it better.

Sting allegedly said that he preferred Eva Cassidy's version of "Fields of Gold" to his own. If true it would have been a very decent thing to say, and in my opinion, both versions are great, but the song sounds better sung by a woman.

I tried to rate this song and Pandora wouldn't allow it. What is that about?

This is a very good song by Mr. Gordon Sumner, (aka Sting ). Too bad he disolved The Police...I guess it made sence since he did all the writting anyway. But all this stuff could have been Police stuff. No matter : it's still great music.

Sting is not one of my favorite solo singers, but this song is one of my favorites by him. I can listen to it for hours and never get tired of it. Whenever it is one the radio I always sing along.

Meagan...thi s tune will always remind me of you.
Great song...Great girl. |

The ultimate relaxation song. It just makes you feel warm all over and you just want to lay back drink a strong drink and take it all in.

.....haven't heard eva's cover......g u e s s i n g eva is a girl......ha r d to imagine some of the lyrics reworked unless eva....plays on the other team........ h m m m m m . . . . . . . .

This is a great song (Fields of Gold), but I must say you can appreciate it more with Eva Cassidy's version (no disrespect to Sting because he did write the lyrics and was the originator of this song). I just feel that it gives it more meaning when played a little slower, and Stings version in my opinion is a little too fast to catch the mood and feeling of the song as in the way Eva Cassidy did it.

Uhhhh, okay.
Uh. Well anyway, it's still a good song with a lovely melody as well. (And please, keep your cotton-picki n g hands off my teenage daughter!!) |

Fifteen years ago, when I was twenty-one, I fell in love with a beautiful, young soldier. We would spend hours dancing, laughing, kissing and making love in the rich, golden, beautiful summer afternoon and nights while this song was playing. I hardly think of that young man these days, but when this song plays, it takes me back and makes my heart hurt all over again. Young summer love, fleeting and temporal..is there a better topic for a song?

This song defines the emotions that we (teenagers) feel. Though it does not exclusively attribute itself to teenage love though that is the only love I have known.

I had heard this song on late night radio in the year of 9/11 and decided to go out and buy the thing the day before 9/11. And some man and his son were talking about the rock group FUEL with each other that day. Maybe the irony is that people in authority seemed to have been going out of their way to deny me romance with young women!

It is so ironic that I was at best buy purchasing this song from the greatest hits album the day before 9/11. Certainly enjoyed teenage love-girls. And I do remember that before I could drive a car, it was a challenge to look for a place to get alone with a young woman. I remember teenage love.
Also in grad school when the song KING OF PAIN was on the radio, I used to call myself THE KING OF PAIN, too! |
