Explanation Toward Books Broken Music

Having been a songwriter most of my life, condensing my ideas and emotions into short rhyming couplets and setting them to music, I had never really considered writing a book. But upon arriving at the reflective age of fifty, I found myself drawn, for the first time, to write long passages that were as stimulating and intriguing to me as any songwriting I had ever done. And so Broken Music began to take shape. It is a book about the early part of my life, from childhood through adolescence, right up to the eve of my success with the Police. It is a story very few people know. I had no interest in writing a traditional autobiographical recitation of everything that’s ever happened to me. Instead I found myself drawn to exploring specific moments, certain people and relationships, and particular events which still resonate powerfully for me as I try to understand the child I was, and the man I became.

Write Up Of Books Broken Music

Beautiful story told elegantly. For those who know nothing about the early years of this prolific poet/musician, it's a delightful read. Wish he would finish the story. He is a natural story teller. Gorgeous prose.

Better written than you would expect and covering material you wouldn't expect.It basically covers his youth up to the Police breaking big, and is in many ways a book about his parents.Entertaining.

A very well-written book .... really. It's not your run of the mill bio, complete with the "high" points and lecherous behaviour of the rock star class. It's a deeper dive into his life that we all do at one time or another in our own lives about why we are here and where we fit.

I was never fond of Sting. He seemed arrogant and too artsy-fartsy for my tastes. So, being fair-minded, I decided to read his memoir, Broken Music, published in 2003. Sting, the perfectionist that he is, produced a well-written book, which I found to be dense and a chore to read. The book is not entertaining, maybe by design. Sting is very ambitious, and his plans are very calculating. Sting was born with good looks and innate musical talent of rare caliber. Although he acts like Mr. Perfect,

Another 'before I was famous' memoir, and this one is very well-written. Sting uses his development as a musician as the thread that holds all of his vignettes together, desribing what was going on in his life that brought him to his first guitar, for example, or the community of friends he finds during his time as a touring jazz musician. The book ends just before The Police become famous. A great read for those interested in what it's like to be a working, not-famous musician on the road, and

A very good memoir from Sting about his early life and path to The Police. Very insightful read.

This is more memoir than autobiography. It's musings of a man who, having hit 50, starts looking back and trying to make peace with some things and understand what drove him to where he stands. It's long on pondering and navel-gazing, short on gossip. I'm sure that lack is a sore disappointment to the groupie types who want to know every speck of dirt on the Police breakup, his affairs and divorce or the whole Tantric Yoga thing. There's little of that in this book, which focuses on his
