Why Fields of Gold?
Fields of Gold was pretty much love at first listening. I bought Ten Summoner's Tales when it came out in 1993, and this song was my favorite, by a long shot. There's something so poignant and romantic about it....
I was fairly new to music videos back then, my family just moved to a place where cable tv was available, and I remember being entranced by the Fields of Gold video. The colors were so beautiful, the concept was amazing, and even still I think back upon it as one of Sting's best videos. It's one of my favorite music videos, period.
Sting is a brilliant lyricist, I'm a big fan of his work, but no matter what he does, this always remains my favorite song. I fell all over myself hearing his rendition of Fields of Gold on the lute (Songs From The Labyrinth, iTunes special edition; also shown in bonus concert footage, on The Journey and the Labyrinth DVD), and I think that speaks to the strength of the song, personally. It's exquisite in any medium.
Lyrics
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of goldSo she took her love for to gaze a while
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of goldWill you stay with me? Will you be my love?
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of goldSee the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of goldI never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear to you on the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of goldMany years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of goldYou'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
