Abstract

Artistic expressions such as songs and poetry are examples of free activities and are privileged modes of revealing what the world is about. Art’s power, in the case of existentialism, is to a large extent devoted to expressing the absurdity of the human condition since for the existentialists, the world in no longer open to the human desire of meaning and order. Sting is included in this pool of gifted artist and his talent in making songs has not only paved the way for his successful career as a solo artist but also helped him in communicating his thoughts and ideals to the world. His music, words and life are inextricably linked and this can be seen in many of Sting’s confessional songs that have connections to events in his personal life. Existential characteristics have affected Sting both as a person and a musician. This paper calls for more researches on his music legacy that the world owned him for a long time.
