Sting - The Dream Of The Blue Turtles

Fortress Around Your Heart Is A Song From Sting's 1985 Album The Dream Of The Blue Turtles. The Song Was Also Released As A Single And Reached #8 And #49 On The U.S. And U.K. Singles Charts Respectively. Sting Wrote The Song In The Studio In Barbados In 1985. A Branford Marsalis Sax Solo Is The Highlight Of The Song. The Inspiration For This Song Was The Pain He Felt From The Failure Of His First Marriage. In A Musician Magazine Interview Later That Year He Said "Fortress Is About Appeasement About Trying To Bridge The Gaps Between Individuals. The Central Image Is A Minefield That You've Laid Around This Other Person To Try And Protect Them. Then You Realise That You Have To Walk Back Through It. I Think It's One Of The Best Choruses I've Ever Written." During One Of Sting's First Performances Of The Song In Concert In Paris His Crew Lowered A Tiny Fortress Onto The Stage In A Parody Of The Similar Stonehenge Scene From The Film This Is Spinal Tap. A Live Version Of The Song Recorded In The Netherlands Was Included On The U.S. Release Of The Fields Of Gold Compilation Album.
