However at Wednesday evening’s live performance within the metropolis, his response to Donald Trump’s victory was equally refined, a minimum of early within the present.
After apologizing to the viewers for being late to the present (having them “sit on our asses” for hours because of a delayed flight), he rapidly modified the topic and mentioned, “It is a prayer for my nation to combat for,” and Introducing “Lengthy Stroll Residence,” one other track he not often chooses to open a present.
The track, from his 2007 album Magic, is about themes acquainted to Sting—dwelling, girls, household, freedom, summer season—however its relevance for tonight comes within the third verse:
“My dad mentioned, ‘Son, we’re fortunate on this city
It is a stunning birthplace
It simply wraps its arms round you
Nobody crowds you, nobody strikes ahead alone.
You already know that flag flying over the courthouse
means one thing is ready in stone
Who we’re, what we do and don’t do.
