* Shape of My Heart Lyrics
http://www.lyricsfreak.com/s/sting/shape+my+heart_201322077.html
He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He doesn't play for the respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape, the shape of my heart
And if I told you that I loved you
You'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
Those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who smile are lost
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape of my heart
* Sting - Shape of my Heart
This is the video to the album version of Shape of My Heart. It contains shots from "Ten Summoner's Tales" (The Video), but on the video it's quite different (with different harmonica solo and a little bit longer). RARE STUFF :)

hello, I just have a little question in my mind. I received an information that the trademark intro part of this song is inspired by one of Chopin's Nocturne. Can you help me find out which number of Nocturne is? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteGood question A_M
ReplyDeleteIt could be Chopin's Nocturne No.20
Listen to it on You Tube:

Thanks for stopping by.
thanks for your answer. Still it's too difficult for me to find the similarity, but thanks anyway.
ReplyDeleteThe reason why I asked this question is because someone said that this Chinese song is have a similar intro with Shape of My Heart.

Feel free to give your opinion, I want to know whether you think that it's some kind of plagiarism or not. Thank you.
I don't really know... my friend wrote a song in the U.S. and his song was copied and produced in Asia and he doesn't receive any royalties... how sad.
