Fragile (Lyrics) - IN HONOR OF 9/11

Fragile (Lyrics) - IN HONOR OF 9/11 by PrettyBluePeople | >> The lyrics to Sting's "Fragile," taken from the album Fields of Gold: The Best of Sting 1984-1994. This is what Sting had to say in his lyric's book: "This song seems to have lent itself to many situations throughout its life. It was originally written in 1987, on the island of Montserrat during a weeklong tropical storm. The rain just kept falling and falling. I had read a newspaper report about a young man called Ben Linder, an American engineer working in Nicaragua, who was murdered by the Contras. At the time it was becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish "Democratic Freedom Fighters" from drug-dealing gangsters, or Peace Crops workers from Marxist revolutionaries. Ben died because of this confusion. "Later, the song was informally adopted by the ecology movement as aa hymn to the fragility of the planet, and by radio stations across the country as they struggled to find appropriate music to express the tragedy of the Twin Towers in New York. So many innocent lives were lost, including a friend of Trudie's, Herman Sandler. "'Fragile' had found yet another home to work its comforting solace" (Sting 130).

It premiered in Berlin in 1928 at the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm. The song has become a popular standard. Original German text The song was inserted in the play shortly before its première in 1928, because Harald Paulsen, who created the role of Macheath, wished a more effective introduction of his character. At the 1928 première, the Moritat was sung by Kurt Gerron, who was a noted film and stage actor in Germany, and who also played the part of the Police Chief Brown. Weill also intended for the Moritat to be accompanied by a barrel organ, which was to be played by the singer. The song was first introduced to American audiences in the first English-language production of The Threepenny Opera, which played on Broadway in 1933. The English lyrics were by Gifford Cochran and Jerrold Krimsky. However, that production was a complete flop and the song did not catch on.
