MANNAM CULTURE _ Fragile

MANNAM
When Light meets Light there is Victory



This blog will save my memory with MANNAM.

As one of MANNAM members (MANNAMERs), I will post about my life with MANNAM.

 
 
Today’s topic is the song of Sting “Fragile”.
 
Sting is a very famous musician and I think you already have heard about him.
I’ve got to know him through TV advertisement. Sting came Korea few years ago for Hyundai Card’s Super Concert. Of course I couldn’t go there but I heard his song ‘Englishman in New York’(It is the most popular one of his songs) many times through the TV advertisement. First, I was surprised by his good songs and second, I was surprised by his works. His original name is Gordon matthew Tohmas Sumner and he usually is known by his stage name Sting. He is an English musician, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actor and philanthropist. He has a many titles but one thing that catches my eyes is the ‘activist’. As an activist, he participated many movements to change the world. He dreams the peace without war so he participated many movements actively like human rights protection movement through AMNESTY or tropical rainforest protection movement. He also made some songs about war, society and peace. His song ‘Fragile’ is about the sadness of the war. And today I want to introduce this song to you. Through ‘Fragile’, he honored Americans killed meaninglessly by the war. Except for ‘Fragile’ he wrote many songs wishing peaceful world. I think the dream that he dreams is the dream that MANNAM dreams. Like Sting do the things that he can do (make songs, participate in movement), We MANNAM also do the things that we can do. We do volunteering works or hold some events wishing world peace. I hope through MANNAM or Sting, many people become aware of the world peace!
 
Sting _ Fragile
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the color of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay

Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence
and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
