Sting (echte naam Gordon Summer) begint zijn zangcarrière in de band The Police, die tussen 1978 en 1986 enorm populair is. In '85 begint hij een solocarrière en dat pakt goed uit, want hij scoort enorme hits als Russians, Love Is The Seventh Wave, Englishman In New York, Fragile en All This Time. Ook in de jaren daarna scoort hij hits, maar minder succesvol. Wel scoort hij samen met Bryan Adams en Rod Stewart een top 3-hit met All For Love. In 2003 heeft hij samen met Craig David een enorme hit met de single Rise And Fall. Hierna scoort Sting geen hits meer, maar blijft wel albums maken.

Zijn laatste album 57th And 9th verscheen in 2016.

Songtekst

We rode all night across an endless desert
We had no moon to light our way
And though a billion stars were slowly turning
We lacked the consciences to pray

Our horses running like devil chasers
Those feet they hardly touched the ground
Yes, I'm familiar with the grey wolves howling
But I'm certain I never heard this sound

Devil to pay
On judgement day
Would Jesus strike me down
If I should pray this cowboy song

It's all I know
To bring me back into your arms
Your distant sun
Your shining light
You'll be my dog star shining
Tonight

I've been the lowest of the low on the planet
I've been a sinner all my days
And I was living with my hand on the trigger
I had no sense to change my ways

The priest asked if I'd embrace the resurrection
To suck the poison from my life
Just like an existential cowboy villain
His words were balanced on my knife

Devil to pay
On judgement day
Would Jesus strike me down
If I should pray

This cowboy song
It's all I know
To bring me back into your arms
Your distant sun
Your shining light
You'll be my dog star shining
Tonight

Every night
Every night
All my distances afar

This cowboy song
It's all I know
To bring me back into your arms
This cowboy song
This cowboy life
I'll be your dog star shining
Tonight

Dog star...
