WE'LL BE TOGETHER
With Annie Lennox
The original version of ‘We'll Be Together’ was written and recorded for Sting’s second studio album ‘...Nothing Like The Sun’, released in 1987. A big hit in the US, the song became a live favourite when Annie Lennox joined Sting on the North American leg of his 2004 Sacred Love Tour. Each playing seperate sets, Annie would join Sting for a rousing rendition of the song every night, inspiring the re-recording of this version in 2004 for the soundtrack to the hit movie 'Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason'.
"Every night after I’d completed the first part of the show I’d head back to my dressing room to get ready to get back on stage to sing ‘We’ll be Together Tonight’ with Mr Sting. And every night I’d wait and watch his show backstage until a few songs in, when it was my time to step back on board again. From the outset of the very first few bars of the song it always felt like a celebration. ‘Together!!! We’ll be together tonight!’ It was a statement - an affirmation from two performers and an incredible band, just sharing the joy and the love of music making. It doesn’t get much better."
