"Fields of Gold" is a song written and performed by English musician Sting. It first appeared on his fourth studio album, Ten Summoner's Tales (1993). The song, co-produced by Sting with Hugh Padgham, was released as a single on 7 June 1993 by A&M Records. Sting was inspired to write the song by the sights he could see from his manor house, which was surrounded by fields of barley.

It was moderately commercially successful, reaching number 16 on the UK Singles Chart and number 23 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It was more successful elsewhere, reaching number 2 in Canada and number 6 in Iceland. It received certifications in Denmark, Italy and Spain among other countries. In 1994, it was awarded one of BMI's Pop Songs Awards.2 The song received positive reviews from music critics who praised its balladry and Sting's vocals, predicting it would be successful with his listeners.

The accompanying music video for the song was directed by Kevin Godley and was released on the same day as the song. It features Sting singing the song as a gold silhouette walking in a dark village. It features references to common British objects such as a red telephone box. To promote the song, Sting included it on the set list of his concert tours and performed it live during televised appearances. The song was covered by several artists, most notably Eva Cassidy whose version was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). It was also covered by artist Katie Melua, American singer Michael Bolton, Italian artist Zucchero, English recording artist Ellie Goulding and Jamaican reggae band Third World.

Background

"Fields of Gold" and all the other tracks on Sting's fourth studio album Ten Summoner's Tales (1993) were recorded at Lake House in Wiltshire, mixed at The Townhouse Studio, London, England and mastered at Masterdisk, New York City. The harmonica solo is played by Brendan Power, and the Northumbrian smallpipes are played by Kathryn Tickell at the end of verses one and three.34

Sting had presented a demo of "Fields of Gold" to David Sancious, Vinnie Colaiuta, and Dominic Miller, who would later serve as the session musicians for the studio recording. Sancious recalled that the basic track was "a live, in-the-studio recording - there's actually no overdubs on it". At the suggestion of Sting, Sancious played a soft synthesizer pad throughout the song.5 Hugh Padgham, who co-produced the song, recalled that he placed particular attention on refining the guitar part, saying his goal was to make the arrangement "simple". He provided guidance on the chord voicings, suggested which guitar strings to use, and emptied out the arrangement by discarding guitar tracks that he deemed unnecessary.6 The cover of the single was photographed by Kevin Westenberg.7

Composition

"Fields of Gold" is a slow-paced pop ballad. It lyrically discusses the male protagonist's love relationship with his female love interest as it opens with his pondering of whether his love will be requited, as sung in the lines “Will you be my love?”. He then proceeds to discuss the other stages of the relationship, including marriage, children, and passing away, thus portraying a "journey of commitment".8 Emma Harrison, writing for uDiscover Music summarized the song's topic, writing "It's not so hard to believe that this track is indeed a metaphor for love itself; how love can be powerful and also simple, but only when it's with the right person."9 In Lyrics By Sting, the singer described the view from his 16th-century Wiltshire manor house, which served as the main inspiration behind writing "Fields of Gold":

In England, our house is surrounded by barley fields, and in the summer it's fascinating to watch the wind moving over the shimmering surface, like waves on an ocean of gold. There's something inherently sexy about the sight, something primal, as if the wind were making love to the barley. Lovers have made promises here, I'm sure, their bonds strengthened by the comforting cycle of the seasons.10

Release and chart performance

"Fields of Gold" was the second single released from the album after "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You" in North America and the third single in some European countries and Australia after "Seven Days".

Critical reception

In a retrospective review of Ten Summoner's Tales, Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic called "Fields of Gold" a "peaceful ballad", and said that it ranks as a classic.34 Larry Flick from Billboard magazine described it as a "deeply alluring ballad with atmosphere to burn." He added, "Impeccably produced, it features a strong seductive vocal (and nice harmonica strains) from Sting, as well as lovely harplike acoustic guitar figures from band mate Dominic Miller. Among the most distinctive and beguiling songs the man has written, it's sure to earn a powerful multiformat reception, and thereby steal a few million hearts."35 Irish Bray People viewed it as "moody but ultimately likeable".36 David Bowling from the Daily Vault named it one of the "brilliant pop songs of the 1990s." He stated that it remains "the perfect ballad. It is a wistful love song looking back on love gained."1

In his weekly UK chart commentary, James Masterton wrote, "For a man who is normally considered an albums artist this is an achievement indeed, a third hit in a row from his latest album, and all of them Top 20 hits."37 Alan Jones from Music Week gave "Fields of Gold" a score of four out of five and named it Pick of the Week, calling it a "lilting, haunting, soothing, almost folky song". He added that "the uncluttered arrangement and intimate vocals are excellent".38 In a 2015 review, Pop Rescue commented, "This song is so wonderfully mellow, and flows so perfectly, that it’s near impossible to find fault with it."39 Andrew Collins from Select felt the album was at its best with songs like "Fields of Gold", saying it was "massaging the menopause".40 In an interview at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, Paul McCartney stated that "Fields of Gold" was a song he wished he'd written himself.41

Emma Harrison, writing for uDiscover Music described the song as "elegant and powerful, while – at the same time – effortlessly simple".9 "Fields of Gold" is one of Sting's most famous songs despite its moderate chart success. It was ranked at number two on his best songs list compiled by Smooth radio in the UK in 2024.42

Music video

The music video for "Fields of Gold" was directed by British singer, songwriter, musician and music video director Kevin Godley and released on 7 June 1993. It was shot over one week in motion control and produced by Iain Brown for Medialab.43 The video features a gold silhouette of Sting singing the song while walking through a dark village at night containing common features seen throughout the UK such as a red telephone box and a red pillar box. Scenes also feature Sting singing the song while bathed in blue and gold light. The silhouette of Sting is shown as such that the background inside him exactly matches the background of the surrounding village, only the version inside of him is bright and bustling with people, while the version outside is dark and dead. The video ends with the camera going into the silhouette and Sting's clothing disappearing, showing a final shot of the village at daylight and with various people. It was later made available on YouTube in 2011 and had generated more than 100 million views as of November 2023.
