The lyrics alone can bring tears to your eyes and even more so if you know under which circumstances the song was written! What I find interesting and what hasn't been mentioned yet: I think we agree that the sea in general and the North Atlantic here in particular are symbols of sadness and loneliness. Then I would translate the "Would north be true? Doesn't life go on? Was the person I lost worth all this?

As Sting seems to like quoting Shakespeare, do you think he's refering to the famous Hamlet quote "I am but mad north-north-west, when the wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a handsaw"? It could be a hint that he's temporarily mad, caused by all the pain he's going through.

The wanderer, the sea-farer, searching, alone, out on the cold, impersonal seas. It's NOT about sailing. It is about love lost.

Could be a lover that died or merely a relationship that ended which he still longs for. Both interpretations can apply. Well, as long as it isn't taken so literally. No Replies Log in to reply. General Comment i think lordfinx had a fantastic breakdown of the song. To add, regarding the verses: "Sometimes I see your face, The stars seem to lose their place Why must I think of you? He speaks of "why would North be True? Then he mentions when he see's this person's face the stars seem to lose their place, maybe North really isn't truw, as if he loses his focus and where he's going physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually?

Things stop making sense which is a lot of what someone feels when they lose someone whether it's a loss in death or a loss of a love. What i find very interesting, and this may be delving too deep, is that The Dog Star has a companion star, they perpetually revolve around eachother General Comment Why should I cry for you when I'm the one who has to keep on living this tortured life?

The dead should be crying for us. Dark angels follow me Over a godless sea Mountains of endless falling, For all my days remaining, denverized on February 03, Link. Memory I love this song though I haven't listened it for a while, like several years. Just right after the death of love of my life a month ago, I heard it again through radio. I never said I love him though I fell in love with him 20 years ago. And I knew I'd never say it to him or to anyone. But I also knew that I love him until I die.

Only imagined was that when I die, I die with this love in my heart. I never had this concrete feeling over anything in my life. Now I'm lost and drift towards unknown, rest of my life. No matter what Sting meant, this song is completely my feelings towards him now and ever. I was touched enough by your comment that I was compelled to create an account just to respond-- but now I don't know what to say.
