#music, A Golden Oldie for a Sunday…

«Fragile» is from Sting’s second album Nothing Like the Sun. The song was released in the UK in 1988. He sang it also in Spanish titled «Fragilidad«…

This is a fabulous song for sure. Sting said he wrote it after the death of American engineer Ben Linder who was working on a hydroelectric project in Nicaragua (1987) and was killed by a rebel group. However the song can fit any occasion of violence and senseless killing.

At the opening ceremonies for the opening of the 2002 Winter Olympics Sting sang the song, performing with cellist Yo Yo Ma. There is a version sung with Julio Iglesias that is included on Sting’s Duets compilation album released in 2021.

Hope you enjoy it…
