Talk:Ten Summoner's Tales

Re-release information
I edited this article and formatted it per WikiProject Albums, however I cannot find any information regarding the alleged 1998 re-release. Not only can't I find any information on this re-release, I can find no record whatsoever of the alleged "extra song" Everybody Laughed But You. A citation is needed for this, or I think it should be removed from the article. Aguerriero 18:26, 27 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Perhaps this will help: http://www.stingoop.com/disco/04tensum/tensummmoner.htm
 * Or this http://www.sting.com/discog/?v=&a=1&id=16 - it does mention the song "Everybody lauged but you" in the tracklisting for 1993, and has 12 songs on it. The Rolling Stones review below however states that there are 11 tracks on the album.


 * Interesting. And from squinting really hard to see those cover art scans for Canada/USA, it appears that Everybody Laughed But You does not actually make it on to any Canada/USA release iterations.  It can definitely be seen on those for Europe and elsewhere though.

Devils Music
I changed the rather sexy part about the Pope banning trichords to the far more accurate:

"From the middle ages, tri-tones were labelled "the devil's music". Certain medieval Catholic treatises on music banned such tri-tones from being used in certain contexts."

Because -the Catholic church did use Tri-tones, to represent the devil or crucifixion -the pope, as far as I can work out, never banned any musical chord see e.g. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4952646.stm

Its less sexy, but its more accurate. And isn't that what wikipedia is about? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.101.136.31 (talk) 12:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I removed the tritone info, which was inaccurate (assuming "begins" refers to the first chord of the song) and seems more appropriate for pages related to music theory than for a list of album details. The song does not begin with a chord that has a tritone; the intro chords are Am7-A7-Am7add11-A7b5(no3rd) leading into Aadd9 at the verse. While the 2nd and 4th chords contain notes separated by a tritone, this doesn't seem noteworthy at any scope. There are plenty of other tritone occurrences throughout the album and in countless compositions by countless musicians from recent and distant years.

Eva Cassidy
I can't believe if Fields Of Gold (song) redirects to here, that there is no mention of Eva Cassidy's cover. It is surely the most well-known cover version of Fields of Gold? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.150.244.131 (talk) 14:18, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It makes no sense that this song doesn't have its own article to begin with. I'm sure that at some point in time it existed, but that later the Wikipedia Deletionists removed it. --82.171.70.54 (talk) 14:22, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Pages about the songs?
I don't understand why songs like "Shape of My Heart" and "Fields of Gold" don't have their own pages. I'm sure someone created these at some point and others helped out to add information, for example about the meaning of the songs. Then the Wikipedia Deletionists came along and removed everything. --82.171.70.54 (talk) 14:20, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Other languages
Some of Stings songs has been translated into other languages. Kjell Inge Torkilsen have translated a full album into Norwegian / Aks av gull (fields of gold) http://www.kjellingetorgersen.no (the webpage is in norwegian) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.47.109.185 (talk) 09:34, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

This needs source info for song "Fields Of Gold"
Who wrote the words and originally recorded this? I think the earliest version I've heard is from the 1960's or 1970's. These references are all from the wrong decade. Who wrote the lyrics? Is there an authoritative chronology of recordings of this song? — Preceding unsigned comment added by McGinnis (talk • contribs) 10:07, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

pun of his given name?
Exactly how the title is a pun of his name? The Canterbury Tales explains the name much better. Or is the "ten" in the title supposed to somehow connect to "Gordon Sumner"? If it is cited to All-Music Guide, to me their text (The title, a rather awkward pun on his given last name) seems to be only bad original research by AMG. 85.217.37.100 (talk) 18:24, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
