In the empire of the senses
You're the queen of all you survey
All the cities all the nation
Everything that falls your way
There is a deeper world than this
That you don't understand
There is a deeper world that this
Tugging at your hand
Every ripple on the ocean
Every leaf on every tree
Every sand dune in the desert
Every power we never see
There is a deeper wave than this
Swelling in the world
There is a deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl
Feel it rising in the cities
Feel it sweeping over land
Over borders, over frontiers
Nothing will its power withstand
There is no deeper wave than this
Rising in the world
There is no deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl
All the bloodshed all the anger
All the weapons all the greed
All the armies all the missiles
All the symbols of that fear
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the world
There is a deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl
At the still point of destruction
At the center of the fury
All the angels all the devils
All around us can't you see
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the land
There is a deeper wave than this
Nothing will withstand
I say love is the seventh wave
You're the queen of all you survey
All the cities all the nation
Everything that falls your way
There is a deeper world than this
That you don't understand
There is a deeper world that this
Tugging at your hand
Every ripple on the ocean
Every leaf on every tree
Every sand dune in the desert
Every power we never see
There is a deeper wave than this
Swelling in the world
There is a deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl
Feel it rising in the cities
Feel it sweeping over land
Over borders, over frontiers
Nothing will its power withstand
There is no deeper wave than this
Rising in the world
There is no deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl
All the bloodshed all the anger
All the weapons all the greed
All the armies all the missiles
All the symbols of that fear
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the world
There is a deeper wave than this

At the still point of destruction

A sting fan since I was nine, I will always turn up the volume when old B sides are played. Keep them coming!

Sting did a hilarious turn in a couple of episodes in the first season of "Only Murders in the Building." Highly recommend.

Great Tune! Overplayed on the radio when it was released. Better NOW in FLAC w/ great studio phones, amp & DAC! Thank You RP!
GREAT TUNE! Thanx RP!
Dear Haters… I have something for you - and unfortunately you are too stuck up your own asses to get it.
this is a seminal combination of some of the best Jazz musicians and one of the most incredibly talented pop songwriters of our time… if you dont get it. too bad so sad.
Reminiscent of Paul Simon's "Diamonds in her Shoes"

This is by far my fav Sting solo effort
not the best cut though, bourbon street far superior!
this is the most commercial sounding, much prefer the others
thanks Bill for playing this, many blissful memories!

I read an interview with Sting right after this album came out. He said that he hated Every Breath You Take off Synchronicity. He wrote it when he was breaking up and felt bad for the message of the song. When people would tell him that it was "their song" he would just cringe. So he wrote this one to correct the error. That's why it riffs on Every Breath at the end there. Better message.

Surely, sir, if I ever escape the punter class, I certainly would undergo similar behavioral changes. That's why I continue to play the lottery and have a $4 million fast-cruising catamaran in my crosshairs.

Since the Police disbanded, Sting has caught 'solo artist syndrome' (cf Morrissey, Paul Weller, and many others) whereby he goes into more abstruse and introspective 'artistic directions'. His latest album of lute music was a good example of him disappearing up his own artistic arse. Not that he gives a monkeys as he must be as rich as creosote and can afford to ignore the punters...

The tour that Sting launched after it came out was fantastic, mainly because of how great the musicians were that played both on the album and in the touring band.
Alas, that was the beginning of the end for Sting as a meaningful musician in my book.

This song is pretty good.
Bill, is this an homage to all the dead turtles washing ashore now and for the foreseeable future? Let's hope Love is the seventh wave.
The song has 164 (+ or - a few) ratings of 7. (Ave rating is 6.4)
If you just read the comments it should have 23,098 (+ or - a few) ratings of 3 or less resulting in an Ave rating of -2.1.
I don't understand??
I like the song, the album, and the artist.
The term sold out is 'played out', every artist who markets and sells an album under a record company label, has by definition contracted with the record company so in essence 'sold out'.
But that may just be my perception.

Sting's first 2 solo albums were seriously good - particularly Nothing Like The Sun - but after that he sold out to the greatest degree possible.

Yeah, OK, I'll stand up and support this album. Sure his later stuff seeped into blandness but this album has enough of a spine to keep my interest and I think it's aged pretty good too. Hey! stop with the tomato tossing! You'll put my eye out!

If you gotta play Sting, at least give us The Police.
Cheesy as it may be, it always puts me in a better frame of mind.
God, Sting makes me want to puke. Be gone with him!

I always think of IMAX ocean documentaries when I hear this song... that's probably not a good sign.
I agree completely!!! I feel like I'm at a museum watching whales and underwater seascapes on the big screen.
I've never liked this song. I'm not a fan of Sting, in general—but this song actually annoys me.

I didn't hate this at the time and I don't now.
Everything after this though, pretty much all hate...
But the post Kenny G. soprano sax now makes this sound weak and fey.

Club Med Muzak. Blechhh! This has to be one of the worst Sting songs ever!

Subsequently & regrettably Sting has ended up as an MOR act very firmly up his own ass.
Not good!

And why does this "Geordie" from the North of England have to sing in a Jamaican accent?
