As beautiful as the song is when you see the context of it in the show Arcane it is much more emotional. I can not recommend this show enough. Don’t worry you need to know nothing about the game to enjoy. If you do decide to watch keep in mind it was released in 3 episodes chunks at a time for a reason.

[joshgreiner]

Beth, I can't recommend Arcane enough. Yes, the characters and location are from a video game (League of Legends to be specific), but zero knowledge of the game is needed for watching the show. It's honestly one of the most incredible pieces of episodic entertainment created. All the music in it (this song included) was created specifically for the show, and really add to the show. I'd love to see your reaction to the show, but if you're not comfortable with that style of video, you should still watch it just for yourself :)

[hannah.p.s]

Having seen the show several times, this songs os almost haunting to me. I cannot explain the feeling but gosh it hits.

[heythenameiselliott]

You have to watch arcane and show us your reaction! It’s literally the best back story to a game I’ve ever watched. Jinx is so complex and beautifully crazy and misunderstood, her backstory is one of the best I’ve ever watched for a game character. Arcane is a true masterpiece and the ending is absolutely heartbreaking, can’t wait for season two

[_Wolfsbane_]

Poor, poor Jinx ... She really needs a hug ...
Goosebumps all over - Sting is completely brilliant here.
This music starts the waterfall regardless of seeing the scene or not ...
This song is illustrating the last scene of Arcane S1E9, "you" in this context is her sister Vi(olet).
Really if you still haven't watched Arcane - do, you don't need gaming background for it.

I've seen this show like 5 since it came out already I tear up every time I hear this song. It is quite an experience when you watch it play out in the show. Can't wait for season 2.

[gamaramdi]

This song is the most accurate picture, the perfect representation of a feeling, the feeling of being betrayed, the feeling of desperation, impotence, and revenge of a broken heart that is still in disbelief, but knows that there's no going back, you MUST watch the show, when this song came up I didn't even noticed it was Sting for like a minute, i was so immersed in the story that i didn't had room for anything else.

[graxxor]

Over a year has passed since I watched this show and reflecting upon it, realise that I have never watched a show that completely broke me like Arcane did... From start to finish a true masterpiece. And this music is a living testament.

[kajlennartsson]

I agree with you Beth. Sting is a wonderful singer.

[anekedudy]

I adore Sting to death and back. Period. ❤
And he just gets better with age.
Haven't heard of Arcane before, but will definitely check it out.
What a beautiful song, would love to see you analyse more of his work, maybe "I burn for you"?

[twofargne]

Sting is my all time favorite artist; such a unique voice. I can tell after just a few notes, no matter what the song, it's him singing. I have many favorite songs by him, but the one that stands out for me is "La belle dame sans regrets." It accompanies a video with Catherine Deneuve during her career. Absolutely a classic!

[noaa]

sting - the perfect singer for the perfect song in THE PERFECT SERIES! loved him since i was growin up almost 40 years ago and he just gets better and better

[VeggieGamer]

This was a brilliant breakdown of the song!! Thanks! I know you don't game (League of Legends is the series Arcane is based on), but I highly recommend the show! The context of the use of this song is beautiful (also it explains that blue rocket in the background near the end of this video ;) ).

[nanahc]

This song gave so much emotion to that ending scene. All the music in Arcane was great, but this really hit the feels.

[frozennunu]

The entire soundtrack of this show is gold i can only highly recommend you check out the other full tarcks from the soundtrack

[ashutoshsahoo]

Now I will really recommend 'Guns for hire' from arcane.
It's also a masterpiece from the show.

[AndrewKendall]

That show has no business having music THAT good. So amazing what they pulled off.

[samcey]

I've watched this performance hundreds of times. And wish so much that my voice would create any sound other than my speaking voice attempting to sing. I loved hearing the technical analysis of the way Sting is singing it

[synopsis]

I fell in love with Arcane... Especially with String's extraordinary Voice... He keeps you speechless 😶 you just appreciate, teste, and admire the ARTIST ❤

[at-colt]

Hi Beth, very cool that you like the song, thank you for the reaction :) I second (well, third, fourth, ...) the notion to watch Arcane. No knowledge of the video game is required, and the story, art design and music are masterfully composed and strengthen each other during the whole season all the time. The creators took the time to fine tune everything to evoke the emotions they wanted to convey.
