On 18 May, Sting will become an Ivors Academy Fellow, the highest honour the Academy bestows. It amuses me that people like Juice WRLD, Nas, Craig David and the Sugababes are actually playing Chopin without realising it. The 90bpm tempo and descending chord sequence seem to connect with a certain type of producer. Since then, it’s been sampled many, many times – and there are something like 150 covers. It was the fifth single from the album Ten Summoner’s Tales, but people started taking more notice of it after Luc Besson used it in the film Léon. Then later he called and said: “That thing we were working on today sounds really good.” I drove home and didn’t think more about it. Only the dog was listening, but then Sting said, “What’s that, mate?” I told him it was just my silly little riff and he said, “That should be a song.” We put a simple beat together on a drum machine and he went out to the garden and came back with a lyric, but I didn’t really hear the words at that point. I was sitting by Sting’s fireplace in Lake House playing it. It’s been sampled many, many times – and there are something like 150 covers
#LOVE ON THEBRAIN CHORDS SERIES#
So, instead of naffly trying to make it sound classical, I came up with a series of notes for the right hand with a John Lennon type of rhythm. I was just playing around with some Chopin-esque descending piano chords as an exercise, but they were really nice. The Shape of My Heart riff wasn’t something I intended to present to him. The crew were in hysterics – but thinking I’d already lost the gig helped me relax. I stood there thinking: “This is really going to shit.” Then, after they’d exhausted every possibility, Sting casually walked over and turned the volume up on my instrument.
Technicians were running around, changing amps, switching power supplies. When I auditioned for Sting in 1989, I couldn’t get any sound out of my guitar. I’m fascinated by all the places where the song turns up. Every time a certain card is mentioned in the lyrics, it miraculously appears at the top of the deck. There’s even a magician called Shawn Farquhar who plays the song as he shuffles cards. In my set now, we do Shape of My Heart and Juice WRLD’s version as a mashup. When I hear Craig David or Juice WRLD’s versions, I think they’ve interpreted the song in the same way. It’s been sampled many times by rap artists: I think the descending chords inspire a contemplative kind of rap. David Sancious played keyboards and Vinnie Colaiuta drums. The guy had recorded Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and had a piece – Romance for Harmonica – written for him by Vaughan Williams.
I asked the legendary harmonica player Larry Adler if he’d play on it. The atmosphere on the record came from that environment – we were all very happy, and the house was reverberating with music.
