Sting: Rushing Water – az első klipdal az új The Bridge albumról

Az élőben szeptember 22-én a hamburgi Reeperbahn fesztiválon bemutatott számot Sting a legutóbbi albumainak amerikai társproducere, Martin Kierszenbaum (Cherry Cherry Boom Boom) mellett a kanadai dalszerző-producer Gavin Brown (Metric, The Tragically Hip, Barenaked Ladies, Billy Talent stb.) társaságában írta, a klipet pedig Eric Ryan Anderson rendezővel forgatta hozzá.

How many times have I had this dream
That wakes me from my slumber?
How will I ever get to sleep again
Counting sheep in a Book of Numbers?
How many times have I had this dream
With you walking towards me from the river?
And when will I ever get to rest again
Wondering if I can deliver?

This is the sound of rushing water
Flooding through my brain
This is the sound of God’s own daughter
Calling out your name

This is the sound of atmospheres
Three metric tonnes of pressure
This is the sum of all my fears
Something I just can’t measure
I remеmber the story of Jonah
He was trappеd in the belly of a whale
How many times must he succeed?
How many times must he fail?This is the sound of rushing water
Flooding through my brain
This is the sound of God’s own daughter
Calling out your nameI’ll see my shrink on an analyst’s couch
Hit me with a hammer and I’ll say, „Ouch”
What we have here is so easy to solve
Just takes a firm purpose and some resolve

This is the sound of rushing water
Flooding through my brain
This is the sound of God’s own daughter
Calling out your name
This is the sound of rushing water
Flooding through my brain
This is the sound of God’s own daughter
Calling out your name

Your name, your name
Your name, your name
Your name, your name, your name, your

Ease into the water
Flooding through your brain
Ease into the water
Calling out your name
Ease into the water
Flooding through your brain
Ease into the water

Jumped out of bed this morning
With a smile upon my face
It’s still there while I shave my chin
But the reason’s hard for me to trace
I cook myself some breakfast
Have some coffee while I muse
Where could this smile have come from?
It’s a muscle that I rarely use

Call the doctor with my symptoms
Should I spend all day in bed?
Can you explain what’s ailing me?
And that is what my doctor said

If it’s love, it has no season
If it’s love, there is no cure
If it’s love, it won’t see reason
And of this you can be sure
If it’s lovе, you must surrender (You must surrendеr)
If it’s love that’s turned you ’round (That’s turned you ’round)
If it’s love, the odds are slender (The odds are)
If it’s love, you’re sunk without a trace
One case can bring you down

You smile and your heart skips a beat
You hear a church bell chiming
A sound that’s ringing in your ears
Will set your hearbeat climbing

And my doctor’s diagnosis?
His opinion, and I quote, „I’ll write you a prescription”
And this is what my doctor wrote

If it’s love, it has no season
If it’s love, there is no cure
If it’s love, it won’t see reason
And of this you can be sure
If it’s love, you must surrender (You must surrender)
If it’s love then you must yield (Then you must yield)
If it’s love, the odds are slender (The odds are)
If it’s love, the trap’s already laid
And I’m afraid your fate is all but sealed
