Excerpt—interview by Anthony DeCurtis—here and above
Still, writing songs about love hardly constitutes an artistic breakthrough particularly for Sting, who has written some of the best, and some of the eeriest, love songs of our time. Love may be the answer, but if it is to regain its rightful power in our lives, it will need to be rescued from the clichés that have eroded its meaning. Sting sets out to do that from the very start on “Inside,” the album’s opening track. Inside the doors are sealed to love, the song begins, and that fortress will need to come down for love to do its work.
