about

I got to know Sting in 1986, when we were both on the Conspiracy of Hope tour and became a doubles team (undefeated!) on the tennis court. Whenever we’ve seen each other since then, there’s always been a warm, mischievous vibe, like this night at The Floor in the photo, where he first heard me play flute, having known me as a guitarist from Lou Reed's band.

A little while back Sting put out the word he wanted to hear some different takes on his songs. That intrigued me, and this song is one that I've always loved. I Burn For You.

Sting’s band at the time I got to know him, was the band that worked this up, including my friends, Janice Pendarvis, Dolette MacDonald, Darryl Jones, the great Kenny Kirkland, Omar Hakim (who went nuts on the original) and Branford Marsalis.

I cooked this up and got it to him in London on a Saturday night. By the time I woke up on Sunday, there was a message from Sting letting “mr. fuzzbee” know how he appreciated my Burn and that he now wanted to play it more again, himself.

So, here ya go. Alto flutes, bass, guitars, keyboards & things you hit.

Enjoy, and go spend the $2 at Bandcamp to support this boy in recording more stuff! 😎

lyrics

Instrumental version - Original lyrics:

Now that I have found you
In the coolth of your evening smile
For the shade of your parasol
And your love flows through me
Though I drink at your pool
I burn for you
I burn for

You and I are lovers
When night time folds around our bed
In peace we sleep entwined
And your love flows through me
Though an ocean soothes my head
I burn for you
I burn for you

Stars will fall from dark skies
As ancient rocks are turning
Quiet fills the room
And your love flows through me
Though I lie here so still
I burn for you
I burn for you
