:08:32. > :08:48.9th, we welcome Sting! # White page, an empty field

:08:49. > :08:51.of snow, my room is 25 below # This cold man chasing ghosts,

:08:52. > :09:00.a road lies underneath a buried boat # Dogs search the under forest,

:09:01. > :09:08.we scour the empty streets # The fact remains until we find

:09:09. > :09:15.you, our lives are incomplete # Do I hear laughters

:09:16. > :09:22.through a veil of snow and ice? # Where could you be on such

:09:23. > :09:29.a lonely winter's night? # That's why I'm searching

:09:30. > :09:44.night and day # This heart's a lonely hunter,

:09:45. > :09:51.these hands are frozen fists # I can't stop thinking about you,

:09:52. > :09:57.I don't care if you exist # Do I hear laughter from behind

:09:58. > :10:04.this veil of midnight? # What are you hiding

:10:05. > :10:10.in the frozen heart of winter? # I know you're close,

:10:11. > :10:18.your scent still warm # And then your trail turns

:10:19. > :10:22.cold, cold, cold # That's why I'm searching

:10:23. > :10:36.night and day # This heart's a lonely hunter,

:10:37. > :10:42.these hands are frozen fists # I can't stop thinking about you,

:10:43. > :10:50.I don't care if you exist # Do I hear laughter

:10:51. > :10:56.in the silence of the snow? # I know you're hiding in this

:10:57. > :11:03.frozen heart of winter # I know you're close,

:11:04. > :11:10.your scent still warm # Then the trail turns

:11:11. > :11:14.cold, cold, cold # That's why I'm searching

:11:15. > :11:28.night and day # This heart's a lonely hunter,

:11:29. > :11:35.these hands are frozen fists # I can't stop thinking about you,

:11:36. > :12:16.I don't care if you exist Thank you, Sting! William Beale --

:12:17. > :12:20.we will be discussing interesting things later. Now somebody we have

:12:21. > :12:24.been trying to get on the show for a long time. Now she is there. With

:12:25. > :12:27.Gemini Feed, we welcome Banks. # And to think you would

:12:28. > :12:30.get me to the altar. # Like I'd follow you around

:12:31. > :12:33.like a dog that needs water. # But admit it, that

:12:34. > :12:38.you wanted me smaller. # If you would've let me grow,

:12:39. > :12:57.you could've kept my love. # There's nothing

:12:58. > :13:05.on my body left to see. # I tried to say "I love you,"

:13:06. > :13:15.but you didn't hear me. # Convinced me other people,

:13:16. > :13:24.they don't care about me. # And to think you would

:13:25. > :13:36.get me to the altar. # Like I'd follow you around

:13:37. > :13:41.like a dog that needs water. # But admit it, that

:13:42. > :13:46.you wanted me smaller. # If you would've let me grow,

:13:47. > :13:53.you could've kept my love. # I still want you to kiss 'em

:13:54. > :14:00.cause they're lonely. # That when I said "I miss you,"

:14:01. > :14:10.you never believed me. # You and me together,

:14:11. > :14:20.we were gemini feed. # And to think you would

:14:21. > :14:32.get me to the altar. # Like I'd follow you around

:15:40. > :16:02.you could've kept my love #. Thank you, Banks, with Gemini Feed.

:16:03. > :16:07.Marvellous to have you in this room. So nice, the way the lights come up

:16:08. > :16:12.and they go down and stars come into this room and they go out. It's a

:16:13. > :16:15.treat to be here. We welcome now to the table for some intimate chat the

:16:16. > :16:27.wonderful Sting. CHEERING It is Sting! Now,

:16:28. > :16:33.congratulations on your new record, 57th 9th. Where does the title

:16:34. > :16:38.come from? It's an intersection I would cross every day on my way to

:16:39. > :16:42.the studio, at Hells kitchen in New York. It's very busy and you have to

:16:43. > :16:55.be careful when you cross. How are you travelling? I walk. How far is

:16:56. > :16:59.it? 15 blocks. I lived on west 57th but I got confused because the

:17:00. > :17:02.street were not called things like pudding Lane, it was all numbers, so

:17:03. > :17:10.I couldn't remember what they were called. But you can't get lost. You

:17:11. > :17:19.can, one, two... You can't remember where you are going. When you got to

:17:20. > :17:24.the studio, why that junction? Did something happened there? No, I just

:17:25. > :17:30.like the junction. Last time you came on, you said there was no point

:17:31. > :17:34.trying to write something if you didn't have something to say, so

:17:35. > :17:41.what has inspired you for this record? The first song is about that

:17:42. > :17:47.conundrum. You face a blank page and it looks like a field of snow. You

:17:48. > :17:52.have no idea what is underneath, a road, a pass, an animal you are

:17:53. > :17:56.hunting, a story, a news, inspiration. It's about an obsessive

:17:57. > :18:04.search for something ephemeral, a song. What comes first, the words of

:18:05. > :18:09.the music? It depends. I like to do it both ways. I might write the

:18:10. > :18:14.music and it gives me a clue about the story or a write a line and it

:18:15. > :18:23.follows. What was inspiring you? What was underneath the snow that

:18:24. > :18:26.you found? Things happening in the world, global warming, refugee

:18:27. > :18:32.crisis, a lot of our colleagues dying quickly, so many of them.

:18:33. > :18:40.Those kind of things inspired me to respond to them. It's a question I'd

:18:41. > :18:48.like to ask. Are you a person who is likely to be well rehearsed or are

:18:49. > :18:51.you spontaneous? We went into the studio, Dominic Miller and Vinny,

:18:52. > :18:55.the three of us know each other so well that we would jam together,

:18:56. > :19:02.showed a thing into the form of a song, and I'd take that home, a

:19:03. > :19:08.story of that abstract narrative that music is. That's my job. The

:19:09. > :19:14.last record was brilliant. You came on with Jimmy nail. It was a

:19:15. > :19:19.systolic record. This is going back to the police macro style. -- it was

:19:20. > :19:24.a symphonic record. This is going back to the Police style. I have

:19:25. > :19:30.made these are terrible records. I like surprise. When I listen to

:19:31. > :19:39.music, I want to be surprised. -- I have made these ephemeral records.

:19:40. > :19:46.This is a surprise. It's very direct, it's very simple, it's rock

:19:47. > :19:50.and roll. Simple is hardest, do you think was John Mogg it's very

:19:51. > :19:57.difficult. The song you are going to be playing is called 50,000. What's

:19:58. > :20:06.it about? A lot of icons passed away this year, David Bowie, Prince, and

:20:07. > :20:13.my friend Alan Rickman. Prince Buster. So I was responding as a man

:20:14. > :20:20.who has probably lived most of his life already, I'm 64, so thinking

:20:21. > :20:25.about my moan -- my own mortality and what that feels like. We look

:20:26. > :20:33.forward to hearing from you later. Thank you for joining us, Sting. Who

:20:34. > :20:35.will be over here with everybody. But now in this corner, a man who is

:20:36. > :20:42.there. It is Jack White. # One of us is happy

:20:43. > :20:50.One of us is mean # I love you, honey

:20:51. > :21:06.Why don't you love me? # Then I start to think

:21:07. > :21:17.you're growing colder # I watch TV

:21:18. > :21:26.You watch the ceiling # And when you turn over

:21:27. > :21:29.I get a funny feeling # And pop the top

:21:30. > :21:37.until my baby comes clean # Yeah, I should

:21:38. > :21:40.grab my rock and rye # And pop the top

:21:41. > :21:46.until my baby comes clean # You bust your lip

:21:47. > :21:53.on wine spodie odie # So come and take a trip

:21:54. > :21:57.if you want to know me # Then I start to think

:21:58. > :22:28.you're growing colder # You drink water

:22:29. > :22:42.and I drink gasoline # One of us is happy

:22:43. > :22:46.The other one is mean # I love you, honey

:22:47. > :26:59.Why don't you love me? # Wonderful to have them back in this

:27:00. > :27:07.room, Kings of Leon! Before that, the wonderful Jack White! Now we

:27:08. > :27:12.welcome for the first time on this show somebody who has been

:27:13. > :27:15.championed by Prince, touring with Gregory Porter, we welcome Kandace

:27:16. > :27:29.Springs! # I've been trying to look

:27:30. > :27:45.inside your heart # But silence keeps on

:27:46. > :28:00.pushing us apart # Your voice is like

:28:01. > :28:38.a song I long to hear # All these days

:28:39. > :28:55.will pass on into years # So if in doubt,

:28:56. > :29:03.remember that you're free, yeah # And all I want

:29:04. > :29:12.is for you to talk to me # And all I want

:29:13. > :31:41.is for you to talk to me # Picked up the paper today one more

:31:42. > :31:50.on the list of already fallen # Another one of my comrades is

:31:51. > :31:54.taken down # We treat our anecdotes and

:31:55. > :32:06.commentary # We sing some songs and sad

:32:07. > :32:16.# The tabloids to this and tell # 50,000 voices rise every time we

:32:17. > :32:25.sing # Every word he ever wrote reflected

:32:26. > :32:31.back to him # We don't remember the studios we

:32:32. > :32:34.played all the lights on 50,000 faces

:32:35. > :32:38.# The serious drug you could never kick

:32:39. > :32:43.# What you could never imagine you could replace

:32:44. > :32:54.# You feel like kites on the wings of amphetamine

:32:55. > :32:58.# Really what did any of it mean # It was a high philosophy of

:32:59. > :33:06.reflection and defeat # 50,000 voices rising every time he

:33:07. > :33:16.sings # Every word he ever wrote reflected

:33:17. > :33:22.back to him # Still believe

:33:23. > :33:56.# Rock stars only fade # Reflecting now on my own past

:33:57. > :34:02.# The saddest present I'd made for myself

:34:03. > :34:05.# I'm feeling a little better today # Although the bathroom mirror is

:34:06. > :34:11.telling me something else # These lines of stress one

:34:12. > :34:15.bloodshot eye # The unhealthy pallor of a troubled

:34:16. > :34:23.ghost # Where did I put my spectacle case

:34:24. > :34:31.# Half blind # 50,000 to ministers like you and

:34:32. > :35:00.me # Rock stars will never die they

:35:01. > :35:06.will only fade away #. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:35:07. > :35:17.The wonderful sound of Sting with 50,000. From 57th 9th. Before that

:35:18. > :35:22.we very much enjoyed Kandace Springs!

:35:23. > :35:32.And so pleased to have a legend at the table with a snap whose the sick

:35:33. > :35:38.we enjoyed earlier, Jack White! -- with us now whose music we enjoyed.

:35:39. > :35:43.All of these cut at the BBC, it is austerity can you get a glass of

:35:44. > :35:48.water, actually half a glass at a plectrum. Thank you for coming. You

:35:49. > :35:52.have this great record out and I like it because it is actually a

:35:53. > :35:59.record, I am a record collector so I love their record. It is a

:36:00. > :36:04.collection of your acoustic recordings. You have so many great

:36:05. > :36:10.songs, was it hard to decide what to put on? I had about three hours to

:36:11. > :36:14.start with and took off the cover songs and the live songs and

:36:15. > :36:20.whittled it down to something that made sense. Their art studio track

:36:21. > :36:25.that have been remastered or songs that studied at acoustic songs and

:36:26. > :36:29.we turned them into larger 16 track things. I wanted to peel them back

:36:30. > :36:32.and let people see how they started so it was a collection of those

:36:33. > :36:38.things but all chronological as well. How was the process of looking

:36:39. > :36:42.back and listening? It takes years for me to listen to a song that I've

:36:43. > :36:46.written to be able to hear it clearly. When you first do it you

:36:47. > :36:51.are very close to it and time has to go by before you can listen to it

:36:52. > :36:55.again, for me. After a while you can see it for what it is and you are

:36:56. > :37:00.far away enough. What about listening to a piece of music you

:37:01. > :37:06.have loved for a long time? Does it get much better? Is it you changing

:37:07. > :37:11.or the music? You are appreciating those little nuance is a little

:37:12. > :37:15.more, I was watching Sting and all of the Stuart Copeland drum fills

:37:16. > :37:20.that I loved, how much more I love them now, and John Bonham that I

:37:21. > :37:25.love even more now. I always attacked the music from a drummer

:37:26. > :37:30.first and read my way out to the piano and vocals and melody. You

:37:31. > :37:34.start with the drum? Always, that's my favourite part, that's where it

:37:35. > :37:38.come from. You have produced a lot of artists and collaborated with a

:37:39. > :37:47.lot of artists, what is the key for that? To be as polite as possible!

:37:48. > :37:51.You have just produced Beyonce, when you go in for the first day, being

:37:52. > :37:59.as polite as possible, how does it go? I'm Beyonce, what are we doing?

:38:00. > :38:06.I like to go into other people's worlds, I do a lot of things analog

:38:07. > :38:09.into tape and not too much digital equipment when I write and produce

:38:10. > :38:16.and record so if I'm working with somebody who is further away from my

:38:17. > :38:20.normal world, I like to do what they normally do so I can learn something

:38:21. > :38:24.from them. I was trying to learn as much as I could from how Beyonce

:38:25. > :38:27.does things to see if we could find some common ground and build

:38:28. > :38:30.something and we really did, it was really incredible that we were able

:38:31. > :38:34.to do. I thought it was not going to work at first but it turned into

:38:35. > :38:41.something I'm incredibly happy about. What did you learn from her?

:38:42. > :38:46.She is very beautiful! Funnily enough, so are you! I can see how

:38:47. > :38:50.you have picked up on it. I am asking a few of the artists on the

:38:51. > :39:01.show, spontaneity or being well rehearsed? Spontaneity! Of course.

:39:02. > :39:06.The Germans have a word for it. Also, I must ask you, I believe your

:39:07. > :39:12.record label launched your own space proof turntable into outer space. We

:39:13. > :39:20.did do that. We don't really know why we did it but we did do it. Was

:39:21. > :39:23.it OK with Nasa and all that? We had to get clearance with them and

:39:24. > :39:30.things like that, it was a five-year project. And also third man records

:39:31. > :39:36.has produced 3 million pieces of vinyl. We love vinyl! Your 3

:39:37. > :39:44.millionth was propelled into outer space? It is too important! And

:39:45. > :39:49.perhaps if there had been Martians out there, they could have heard it?

:39:50. > :39:54.Exactly. You are assuming they have got thumbs. It is a lot of assuming.

:39:55. > :40:03.Thank you for joining us, Jack White! APPLAUSE

:40:04. > :40:07.Outer space, you have never been into outer space, have you? Even

:40:08. > :40:11.Sting who has done almost everything, he hasn't been into

:40:12. > :40:22.outer space. Have you ever been into outer space? No, absolutely not.

:40:23. > :40:27.Maybe with drugs? No! In reality! Thank you for your help on that!

:40:28. > :40:32.They have not been into outer space was the answer. The closest you can

:40:33. > :40:34.get is by being with us on the show. I'm now pleased to welcome back the

:40:35. > :41:04.wonderful Banks! # This is not about me

:41:05. > :41:22.# All this business # Is it better?

:41:23. > :41:45.# This is not about us # This is not about us

:41:46. > :41:50.# I never played it cool # It was a big mistake

:41:51. > :42:00.# This is not about to you # Trying to get up in my bag
