1987 - ...Nothing Like the Sun - Sting

35 Years Ago - 1987 Sting released his second solo album ...Nothing Like the Sun.

The US singles were "We'll Be Together" (#7 #20 Album Rock Tracks), "Be Still My Beating Heart" (#15 #37 AC #2 Album Rock), and "Englishman in New York" (#84 #32 Mainstream Rock.)

The title comes from Shakespeare's Sonnet No. 130 ("My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun"), which Sting used in the song "Sister Moon". He added that his inspiration for this was a close encounter with a drunk, in which Sting quoted the sonnet in response to the drunk's importunate query, "How beautiful is the moon?"
