Sting ----- Russians «HELP UKRAINE»



Admitting he never thought it would be relevant again, Sting this weekend (5 MAR 2022) posted to Instagram video of himself performing his 1985 single “Russians,” a plea to stop the nuclear brinksmanship between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

Sting introduced his new performance of the nearly 40-year-old song, backed by cellist Ramiro Belgardt, as a “plea for our common humanity” in the face of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “bloody and woefully misguided decision” to attack the people of Ukraine.

He says:
“I’ve only rarely sung this song in the many years since it was written, because I never thought it would be relevant again. But, in the light of one man’s bloody and woefully misguided decision to invade a peaceful, unthreatening neighbor, the song is, once again, a plea for our common humanity. For the brave Ukrainians fighting against this brutal tyranny and also the many Russians who are protesting this outrage despite the threat of arrest and imprisonment — we, all of us, love our children. Stop the war.”

See Sting’s performance below, as well as the original music video for the song, which was the fourth single released off the singer’s post-Police solo debut The Dream of the Blue Turtles.

[Verse 1]
In Europe and America
There’s a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mr. Khrushchev said we will bury you
I don’t subscribe to this point of view
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too

[Verse 2]
How can I save my little boy
From Oppenheimer's deadly toy?
There is no monopoly of common sense
On either side of the political fence

[Chorus]
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
There is no historical precedent
To put the words in the mouth of the president
There’s no such thing as a winnable war
It’s a lie we don’t believe anymore
Mr. Reagan says we will protect you
I don’t subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
[Chorus]
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us me and you
Is if the Russians love their children too

[Instrumental outro]

馬甸尼

天皇巨星, 宣揚和平

Thewho

We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
