No autotune, no nothing, just a guitar and a microphone. This is music.

Sometimes we get very, very close to perfection. This was one of those times.

This is probably Sting's best acoustic vocals ever! It sounds almost exactly like album version.

My favorite Sting song. Many, many years will pass, and this song will be loved and listened to by millions of people around the world.

This is one the best songs in history.

Sting has excelled himself ... He is not just singing - he is painting the song, he is knitting the song, he is living the song... Bravo!

Sting and Dominic Miller - two amasing, most amazing musicians. The world is thankful for your music!

sometimes a song does not need to be about love or broken heart to remind you of someone you lost or you miss...music is a time machine.. it takes to you happy places that now are sad memories... ohh the power of music

This man is amazing. A poet, a musician, and on occasion a political activist. He never ceases to blow me away. For one, he writes intelligent lyrics.

Sting (from a 1993 promotional interview): "I wanted to write about a card player, a gambler who gambles not to win but to try and figure out something; to figure out some kind of mystical logic in luck, or chance; some kind of scientific, almost religious law. So this guy's a philosopher, he's not playing for respect and he's not playing for money, he's just trying to figure out the law - there has to be some logic to it. He's a poker player so it's not easy for him to express his emotions, in fact he doesn't express anything, he has a mask, and it's just one mask and it never changes."

Knew about this song for years but underappreciated it for a long time. A masterpiece

Not only is it one of the most well written song also one of the best composed guitar riff and melodiously sung songs ever...❤❤❤

This is my all time favorite video and song by Sting. Love seeing him sitting back, with a friend, in his own environment, relaxed and being honest in his facial expressions and the emotion in his voice and seeing the exchange between these two amazing artists come alive for his fans to see. Thank you Sting! A really beautiful voice and beautiful man, and I've noticed that everyone surrounding him the in his band and talent collaborating in these master pieces are equally beautiful and masterful. What a great world he comes from. Thanks again for sharing it with us! Thank you Sting.

One of the best songs ever, never get enough of it since years now

This song removes all the rust from our worn hearts.. it is a delicate caress to our soul, esteem and admiration for this masterpiece 🙏

It's a shame no one gives any love to the guitarist that came up with the godly tune.

the guitar`s sound is awesome

Bloody amazing! How is it possible to dislike this clip? I can not understand some people...

"I'm not a man of too many faces ,the mask i wear is one" So touching to hear a man ,Sting especially,says those words. So much honesty throught his voice, his words come from The Shape Of His Heart. Beautifully said. ❤ Nervously awesome( gesture ,shirt games, etc...lol). He was natural. I love him.

The musicians around Sting are always super awesome. They both radiate such a child like pleasure. This is magic.

I've been playing acoustic guitar and singing for some 50 years. We guitarists all have our own favourites and heroes. I have always loved songs and composers that say something.... and Sting in my view is one of the best songwriters of the last 30 years or so, and has certainly been one of my influences.... Back in 2005 I was having a really bad time personally. A good friend pointed me to this song and it was instrumental in helping my wife understand me while we were trying to get together from opposite sides of the country... If when we're travelling and I get a chance to sing... this song is my first pick.... Every singer has a song which is intrinsically them ….. this one is mine..... For simplicity it is difficult to better this simple arrangement - a front room, classical guitar, Sting and Dominic Miller.... magic... !!!!

15 лет прошло!!! Господи, какая прекрасна песня. Она - бессмертна)

한국 최고 동안 가수가 잘생겼다고 추천해서 왔는데 좋네요😄

"I think we'll be okay here, Leon."

Just listening to this music makes my life happy enough.

He deals the cards as a meditation And those he plays never suspect He doesn't play for the money he wins He don't play for respect He deals the cards to find the answer The sacred geometry of chance The hidden law of a probable outcome The numbers lead a dance I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart He may play the jack of diamonds He may lay the queen of spades He may conceal a king in his hand While the memory of it fades I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart That's not the shape The shape of my heart If I told her that I loved you You'd maybe think there's something wrong I'm not a man of too many faces The mask I wear is one But those who speak know nothing And find out to their cost Like those who curse their luck in too many places And those who fear are lost I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart That's not the shape of my heart That's not the shape The shape of my heart

Как же прекрасно услышать Sting в живую, прекрасная песня, всем добра и позитива друзья!

Sevdiğin işi yapmak ve her anından keyif almak bu işte. Ortaya çıkan güzelliğe bak!

0:08 when the song reminds you of her

3:09 one of the rare times I've seen him smile. And that look they share! It makes me happy to know relationships like theirs can last and survive fame, pressure from the industry.

53 million viewers. That's the number of Sting's stars in the night sky. Thanks man, for the melodies.

Sting , the real living legend.

Whenever my time comes... I want my descendants to know this is the music I love

Песни моей юности- так много воспоминаний.Спасибо за классную музыку.

How could he sound exactly like he does on his record, singing on a sofa, all casual and chilled? Amazing! It breaks my heart a little knowing that one day we will lose this gem of a man, just like we have lost so many pure talents.

LEON❤

Esto es una obra de arte. Bravo al señor Sting y a su socio Dominic Miller.

Я просто " таю " от этого дуэта . А Миллер бесподобен ,его звук завораживает . Браво Вам Двоим !

Sting and Dominic Miller, wonderful.

This was already a beautiful song. This version is so emotive and lyrically moving.

One of the best live performances I ever heard.

Une voix pure, intense, sans artifices. C’est ça du talent.

Боже мой, как красиво

Love has so many shapes, and a friendship like theirs is a really beautiful one.

Wow, I never saw this before! Sting and Dominic Miller have an absolutely fabulous chemistry! Thanks for the share!

Sting le geni et Dominique le sensationnel❤❤❤beaucoup de charme et de lyrisme dans cette chanson .Vous etes formidables les gars.

I love that song! Always reminds me of the movie LEON.....

Simply stunning! This is mastery in person….two virtuoso’s letting it out…love this song, it reminds me of a kinder, gentler time where love was new and the world was much less hate filled….i pray for our collective souls daily….♥️🇺🇸

i would love to see Sting as a judge in The Voice i'm sure he could teach so much

Only one guitar and two magnificent voices. I always love Sting ❤️

" a gift from Matilda"

For all you lucid dreams fans, the melody is 100% Dominic Miller, he used to play this melody to practice. So thank Dominic for this.

2020 and still touch my soul like the first listening...

Thank you Sting for this moment...

You'll be a part of my memories forever Sting. Nothing more to say.

I miss my family so much. This song reminds me my family and my country.

Zaśpiewał to genialnie w warunkach domowych. Sting - brawo TY :)

Recorded impromptu at Stings Malibu home In California, Dominic Miller playing a backpackers guitar, so unplanned - but so beautiful....

I have anxiety, I have depression , thank You god this song makes me feel that I am in a secure place it helps me a lot to sleep

Магия музыки Стинга неповторима. Легенда.

Lieber Sting, ich danke Euch beiden für diese wunderbare musikalische Interpretation! Ein Meisterstück!

I love Sting voice and songs.. This is such a beautiful song!.. These are the real last artist we have!! This is real music!

Valentines Day 2024 brought me hear/here💞🎼I have discovered it is a very small world when it comes to the great connection of our hearts💞🙏🏻

His voice is amazing 😍

I'm not ashamed to say, this song just made me cry! Powerful words. Sting - you a genius, with your thought provoking words.

Excelente música, en esa época el mejor momento de su composición. Sting un clásico en la vida ,para la historia de la música .

My absolute greatest solo artist..... the words like a picture are simply a masterpiece..... flowing with meaning, class and subtle impact which runs deep and lingers long....

He deals the cards as a meditation And those he plays never suspect He doesn't play for the money he wins He don't play for respect He deals the cards to find the answer The sacred geometry of chance [Studio version:] The hidden law of a probable outcome [Live version:] The hidden laws of a probable outcome The numbers lead a dance I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart He may play the Jack of diamonds He may lay the Queen of spades He may conceal a King in his hand While the memory of it fades I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart That's not the shape, the shape of my heart And if I told you that I loved you You'd maybe think there's something wrong I'm not a man of too many faces The mask I wear is one But those who speak know nothing And find out to their cost Like those who curse their luck in too many places And those who fear a loss I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart That's not the shape of my heart That's not the shape, the shape of my heart

"I'm not a man of too many faces, the mask I wear is one"

The facial expressions that hint of the close relationship between the two accomplished artists is the most facinating thing to me

This song is so deep! It makes me cry whenever I hear it. You can tell a lot of passion went into this song.

Jak teraz na to patrzę, to CeZik odjebał kawał dobrej roboty :))

El GRAN Sting y Dominic Miller, tremendo guitarrista argentino!

You are my hero Sting- the sense of style is impeccable

Я русская,только сейчас узнала перевод, но жто мне никак не помешало на протяжении многих лет насласлаждаться этой музыкой и исполнением!

Leon is really amazing and i love this song

I will listen to this beautiful song until the end of my existence. It is simply wonderful!

This is such a beautiful song. Such hidden meaning. About a card player. So beautifully said.

Dec 2019... Legend.. 👏👏

Kto od Cezika ten łapka w górę!!!

Балдею с этой версии. Тут голос Стинга звучит искренне и чисто до безумия.

A song that'll never be forgotten, and one that help make the film Leon unforgettable, and truly hit my heart. Truly a masterpiece of a film that was perfect with such a strong emotional, action-packed storyline and what a soundtrack. Honestly, one of the very few films, that you can truly say has no flaws, and one that everyone can agree is perfect. Jean, Portman, and Oldman, three legends. The lyrics to this is such a masterpiece as well and hits the heart of everyone, a perfect fit. What a time. Legends.

Who is listening it during the 2020 quarantine?

Escuchar esa canción, me hace lamentar que exista el "reagueton".... STING, DOMINIC MILLER, LA GUITARRA... Y ESA OBRA DE ARTE DE CANCIÓN.... SON LO MÁXIMO PARA ESCUCHAR EN CUALQUIER ÉPOCA...

Pas d'ingénieurs du son, pas 48 pistes ni d'effets.. Un guitare du talent et la classe internationale......❤

Смотрела это видео с мамой, когда мне было 10 лет. До сих пор влюблена в его голос ♥️

Matilda❤️leon

Я был на концерте СТИНГА у нас в Ёбурге .........и всё.....лучшего у нас в провинции я не видел ... и я в живую слышал эту песню .... Теперь я могу жить здесь причастным к МИРУ Спасибо тебе мальчик Gordon из семьи Лето Однажды я видел тебя ... и остался чуть моложе и светлее

I don't know the name of the guy who is playing the guitar but he is a really good player he made a really good job

Dominic Miller The Man!!The Myth!!The Legend!!!!

Как же *_нравится_* мне эта песня Стинга...

This is amazing. First time ever hearing this song

Dominic Miller is a classical genius himself to fit the music to the lyrics. OMG, the depths of his soul. Together the two could traverse the world just on this melody. But when Dominic adds his vocal backup, it steps the whole song to a new level. Thank you Dominic for laying out the canvass for this masterpiece! PROST!

Как же красиво! Окунулся в прошлое. Уже 2021 год, печаль.

That' what I call a singer

Sting....a true music king Shape of my heart....his jewel crown

“The mask I wear is one” What a genius.

The ultra-sophistication of the minimalism is truly extra-ordinary.
