Love is the seventh wave ::
"I was at Eddy Grant's studio, watching the surfers,
and they told me that the seventh wave was the strongest
wave: they get stronger and stronger until the seventh wave,
then start again. So the idea of love being the strongest
wave that would encompass everything in a destructive,
apocalyptic way was an appealing one at the time".

Russians :: was written in 1984 in a period when the
Cold War between east and west was still strong and nuclear
armament was employed by both sides. He borrowed the theme
"Romance" from Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev.
::
Moon over Bourbon Street ::
was inspired by Interview with a
Vampire by Anne Rice, a novel that was given to
Sting by Andy Summers. If you hear at the end, (put

's scream.
