Day 135: May 15: Before This World/Jolly Springtime

"Give up the love that takes and breaks your heart."

Mournful and harmonic.  Sting sings back-up and his influence is really felt here.  In places it feels very much  like a James Taylor song and at others it sounds a lot like something that could be on a recent Sting album.  I don't usually care for contemporary Sting, but the combination works well.  The second half is oddly combined.  It's pleasant enough though.

Before This World/ Jolly Springtime

I think post-Police Sting peaked with the Ten Summoner's Tales and Mercury Falling albums.  This one is also mournful and was also covered later by Johnny Cash.
