We bought this CD in 1987 when we bought a brand new stereo system, yes..I said stereo system. I have no idea what they call them these days. Everyone seems to walk around with wires in their ears. In any case..it was played many many times during the year before our daughter was born.
Our daughter was born in August of 1988 and when I finally came home from the hospital 5 days later (they don't seem to do that any longer either) I came into my home filled with pink and white helium balloons throughout the house, There must have been 100 balloons floating around with white ribbons hanging down. As I entered the house with our new bundle of joy, my husband had qued up one of my favorite songs from this album on our new stereo:
"We'll Be Together"
I see me with you and all the things you do
Keep turning round and round in my mind
Forget the weather we should always be together
And any other thought is unkind
To have you with me I would swim the sevens seas
Is dancing here with you in my arms
Forget the weather we should always be together
I'll always be a slave to your charms
To have you with me I would swim the seven seas
To have you as my guide and my light
My love is a flame that burns in your name
We'll be together We'll be together
Call me baby. You can call me anything you want
Call me baby Call me Just call me
We'll be together, yeah
We'll be together, yeah
I see you with me and baby makes three
I see me with you and all the things we do
Forget the weather we should always be together
I need you as my guide and my light
My love is a flame that burns in your name
We'll be together We'll be together tonight
That was almost 18 years ago and our bundle of joy is about to graduate high school and embark on a new chapter in her life. I have a pretty good feeling that we too are about to embark on a new chapter in OUR lives as well. My only question is...WHERE DID THE TIME GO?? I hear the song and it feels like only yesterday..

I was a Police fan (that's Fan, and no, I don't carry a pair of handcuffs). Especially their more up-tempo stuff. So it's taken a long time for me to warm up to Sting's solo work. I'm getting there. A mellow wine drinking mood helps.
I love stings work, the Police will reunite soon, I love this album. Well be together is awsome. Right know I have emminet front playing on my work computer thanks to your site. keep up the good work. p.s. you are invited t join my Peace Project, just checkout my blog for the scoop. Rock on brother
