STING - "BRAND NEW DAY"

Brand New Day (Sting) - 3:59 rating: **** stars



In late August my wife and I say Sting at Wolftrap Farm Park.  I grew up on The Police and Sting so it was nice to hear so many of the hits and semi-hits.  At the same, time the highlight for me came in the form of 'Brand New Day'.  Maybe because the song hasn't suffered from the same overexposure as most of the hits; the clever wordplay, or the fact it's always reminded me of a Motown/Stevie Wonder song (Wonder played harmonica on the original studio version), it just kind of jumped out from the rest of the show.  In fact, I found myself humming it for days.

Here's a link to the original video, followed by a live take with Wonder guesting:
