One of the most beautiful Sting songs of the artist\u2019s career was released on his second solo album,\u00a0Nothing Like the Sun.<\/em>\u00a0Sting\u2019s composition \u201cFragile,\u201d was an ode to the works of\u00a0Antonio Carlos Jobim.\u00a0<\/a>While the music of \u201cFragile,\u201d clearly was inspired by the Brazilian styles of Jobim, the lyrical content of the song was a homage to the American engineer Benjamin Linder who had been killed by the contras in Nicaragua in 1987. The guitar and bass work on the song were both performed by Sting which depicted Sting\u2019s extraordinary level of musicianship. The tender lyrics and beautiful melodic line gave birth to a song that would become a new standard. Sting has performed the song \u201cFragile,\u201d as an encore in many of his concerts. I saw Sting perform the song \u201cFragile,\u201d in 1995 at New York\u2019s Academy concert hall. It was one of the most spell binding performances I have ever witnessed. It was an encore performance and it blew the house away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
