{"product_id":"the-soul-cages-1","title":"The Soul Cages","description":"Amazon.com\n\nThe somber, personal Soul Cages is a testament to Sting's strength as a storyteller. Each song creates its own dark, lonely world with recurring themes of sea, ships, and filial love. The album opens with the wistful, virtually mist-drenched \"Island of Souls,\" a tale of a shipbuilder's son orphaned by an accident who dreams of the open sea. Later, that sea becomes a prison for a lovelorn sailor in \"Why Should I Cry for You?\" Throughout, Sting dispenses with the conventions of pop lyrical structure. Saxophones, oboe, and Northumbrian pipes reinforce the folksy feel of the instrumentation. Arguably the best song on the album, \"Mad About You\" is a mystical ballad about a king who has everything except the woman he loves. Grand, elegiac, and allegorical, Soul Cages stands as one of Sting's most downcast recordings, and one of his most compelling. --Courtney Kemp\n\nProduct description\n\nSting ~ Soul Cages\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000002GL2\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 4EKGY3007RGB_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Sting\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
