A number of instruments have been perfectly modulated and recorded. Sting's song is so rich, so well tempered. There is a genuine, honest, beautiful, melodic piece of music and you cannot cherish it. Bobby From Germany from GermanyTo all the simpletons who consider Cassidy's version better than the original by Sting: That is so sad.I am so touched you have lived and loved and found a way to share both with the listening world. How painfully poetic and perhaps prophetic. The first time I heard this song I heard “among the fields of folly”! How poetic. Sting is a human being, cursed with a heart. Thomas Carter from Plano Texas, Late Of California BurningWho would have thought.It would not surprise me in the least if Bach himself played his Goldberg variations and I preferred Glenn Gould's. It was his genius, AND her genius in concert. Eve Cassidy's genius was to perform it in a way Sting could not. Why does one have to be better than the other? I’m just thankful that sting wrote this song. Bace from Usa Sting vs Cassidy, it’s all in the ears of the beholder.Ronsha from New JerseyThe song is so beautiful!! Makes me want to walk in actual fields of gold lol.I wanted to have something to remember both of them with and this song just touched my heart. In his fifties he finally met the love of his life and five years before his death he had lost her to cancer. My brother's wife had left him for another man and never remarried. I wanted to use one of Stings songs for the funeral so I chose Fields of Gold. One of my memories of us was dancing to Sting's 'Message in a bottle' at a concert once. Yvette M from Wichita Falls Tx I absolutely love this song and Sting.Your Comment send your comment Comments: 101 I ended up throwing a chair at the bloody thing."ĭespite the aggravation, Godley used motion control again when he did the " Theme From Mission: Impossible" video for Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen. And they didn't have the relevant piece of equipment to correct it, so we sat around on our asses for about six hours doing nothing while they were rushing around frantically trying to mend this robot. It couldn't remember the exact moves for each of the things we did, and it proceeded to do moves that it had logged from a commercial three weeks ago or something insane like that.
"But motion control f-ked up," Godley told Songfacts. The video hinged on a motion control camera that could shoot the nighttime scenes, then shoot the daytime scenes with the exact same moves so they could appear in Sting's silhouette. Godley & Creme pulled off elaborate videos for The Police, including the candles video for " Wrapped Around Your Finger" and the Max Max-inspired " Synchronicity II," but it was the "Fields of Gold" shoot that drove Godley to madness. It was directed by Kevin Godley, who along with Lol Creme was half of Godley & Creme, which was both a musical group and a directing team.
