Fragile

Song 37:365 is my version of Fragile by Sting, dating from (my favourite musical year) 1987. I remember hearing this first in the Portuguese version on the EP Nada Como El Sol, and then discovering the English version. Fragile is a tribute to an American civil engineer who was killed by the Contras while working on a hydroelectric project in Nicaragua. It was also poignantly used to open Sting’s concert at the Bataclan in Paris when it reopened one year after the 2015 terror attacks.

I hope you enjoy my piano version. There’s more Sting here, and if it’s your first time on the site, find out more about why I’m trying to record a piano tune every day here.
