Englishman in New York" is a song by English artist Sting, from his second studio album ...Nothing Like the Sun.

The song was released in 1988 as the third single from the album, but only reached #51 on the UK Singles Chart. In the US, "Englishman in New York" peaked at #84 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in April 1988. The song reached #32 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart that same month. Branford Marsalis played soprano saxophone on the track and Manu Katché the percussion. However, "Englishman in New York" was a hit in 1988 in several European countries, reaching the Top 40 (and sometimes the Top 20) in France, Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, etc.

In 1990, just prior to the release of his third studio album The Soul Cages, Sting's record label licensed Dutch DJ and producer Ben Liebrand to remix "Englishman in New York" and subsequently released it as a single. The remix played around with the introduction and some of the instrumentation, but the essence of the song remained the same. The new version was commercially successful, reaching number 15 in the UK charts in mid-1990.

desperation is pitiful but its to be expected. desperation as a direct response to being neglected. self-esteem lower than my grave six feet deep, this life fucking blows but im yours to keep. wrists cut // mouth shut. destroy yourself before anyone else does. strength in numbers but im all alone. there is no castration fear. there is no hope for you here. life is suffocating, drowning, your self doubt is an enclosed wall - towering. your fake confidence is not even convincing, you are a stray dog cowering. bodily fluids are the only connection between me and you. blood, spit and cum. no fucking fun. NOT EVER. whatever. pitiful. yet i could be so much better still. death is not an option. death is no resolve, will not absolve you from your sins. nobody will forgive you for those things. i guess im hated here right now. suppose youre more than i bargained for. I dont even know what the fuck we argue for. life is more simple than we make it. we are animals, bleeding. we have ruined this world and left an open wound for all to see. i don't think that i can take this. vivid pictures in my head of me smashing yours into the pavement. i can say safely that humans have destroyed everything theyve touched, so baby i wanna touch you. is that asking too much? coming on strong when im weak. i am surprised to have made it through this week. i say to myself everyday that this life is so short (what im hoping). us hanging out leads to lots of fake intimacy and smoking/if i had feelings for you then my heart would be broken. too bad i couldnt give a fuck. clouded thoughts and mixed emotions. i'll kiss your neck if it'll keep you close then. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ transcendental light. could not stand to do this my whole life. better than this. this. this. world is not safe. humans are not adept at giving, only want to take. take from me if you can find anything/most likely im nothing. whoa caught me off guard, me on top of you (was not hard). double entendre. forgetting who i am like im of several minds. out of seven billion humans i am the worst of my kind.

Giorgio Moroder is the most influential musician you have probably never heard of. He was an early techno musician and producer before there was anything even called, “techno.” (In other words, without Giorgio Moroder, no Daft Punk.) He has written songs for David Bowie, Blondie, Janet Jackson, and a bunch more than I can put down here. He produced all of the best singles Donna Summer ever recorded, before becoming the most sought after soundtrack composer in the 70s and 80s.If you’re a fan of the films Scarface, or Top Gun, or American Gigolo, or The Neverending Story, you know what he adds to a movie is outer-worldly. So this week, we are celebrating the unmitigated genius of one of our favorite musicians, Giorgio Moroder.
