About this product

Product Information

Having been a songwriter most of my life, condensing my ideas and emotions into short rhyming couplets and setting them to music, I had never really considered writing a book. But upon arriving at the reflective age of fifty, I found myself drawn, for the first time, to write long passages that were as stimulating and intriguing to me as any songwriting I had ever done. And so Broken Music began to take shape. It is a book about the early part of my life, from childhood through adolescence, right up to the eve of my success with the Police. It is a story very few people know. I had no interest in writing a traditional autobiographical recitation of everything that's ever happened to me. Instead I found myself drawn to exploring specific moments, certain people and relationships, and particular events which still resonate powerfully for me as I try to understand the child I was, and the man I became.

Reviews
"Sting's gift for prose and reverence for language, nearly the equal of his musical gifts, shine on every page. Even whenBroken Musicaddresses the quixotic life of an aspiring rock & roller, it reads like literature from a more rarified time when adults didn't condescend to the vulgarities of pop culture." Rolling Stone "You can't fault his scrupulous candor....A natural storyteller." London Sunday Times "Sting mixes tenderness, sadness and humor in his narration, indulging readers with the same style of descriptive, pensive words that characterize his songs....Even readers unfamiliar with Sting's music will find the book compelling." Associated Press "A beautifully styled, elegantly crafted and intelligent portrayal of Sting's own life...[it] ranks on the highest shelf of literary debuts." Toronto Globe and Mail "A first-rate memoir...Engrossing...With writing that is both witty and refreshingly self-deprecating, this book has pleasures that extend well beyond interest in the man's music alone." People "An engaging, lucidly written reminiscence...intellectually vigorous...elegant and thoughtful." Entertainment Weekly From the Paperback edition.

  • Broken Music

    Broken Music was an interesting read about the somewhat Byzantine world of music fame and the path Sting followed to get there. Though I found the book interesting, I also felt sad about the general tone of the book and the essential darkness of it. If artists are "tortured souls", then it seems this bears it out. How can one feel sorry for a famous person who has achieved all he'd hoped to? Read this book and you'll find out. Still, if you are interested in how a jazz man achieved pop fame, you'll find this path very interesting.

  • Great Book = Excellent Christmas Gift for a Good Friend. Thank You.

    I loved the book and I bought it for a friend last Christmas. She loved it! Good quality book for a very low price
