about

Once again showcasing his vocal range and multi-instrumental musicianship, David Blamires brings us his fresh new arrangement of Sting’s “Fragile”.

Fragile is at once powerful and intimate.

Opening with the signature riff in David’s falsetto the music unfolds as he pulls us in to the lead vocal with a breathy, emotional and intimate tone. A jazzy electric guitar solo is played with breezy effortlessness and supported by David’s warm background vocals.

Juno Award winning jazz vocalist Emilie-Claire Barlow makes a cameo appearance adding harmony to David’s soaring vocals.

lyrics

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay

Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are


On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star (tears from a star, oh)
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
