I’m going to chime in with a wishful guess of “Fortress Around Your Heart” for one of the Sting songs. I remember Dash having a drums-only version that I’ve wanted to see as full band for like two years!
One of the great Sting solo career bridges and chroruses ever, IMO.
A hint for the other Sting solo track…you can find a wife and a working girl in this song’s music video.

What is “We’ll Be Together”?
dammit I overlooked it..my bad
Well, one less Sting song I have to do, thank you!

YES!
And that means all available passes have been awarded.
The pack consists of:
Aerosmith – Janie’s Got A Gun
Billy Joel – Tell Her About It
Sting – All This Time
Sting – Fortress Around Your Heart
and will be released in the next day or two.
Thanks for playing!
Okay, I think I’ve got it.
Aerosmith – Janie’s Got a Gun
Billy Joel – Tell Her About It
Sting – All This Time
Sting – Fortress Around Your Heart
Do I win?

It is my pleasure to be able to include this review, by the inimitable samjjones. Thanks, Sam.
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />This week, the great Dash Riprock brings us four singles from 3 of mainstream music’s most popular acts. There is something for everybody here, and all four songs are a blast to play as full-band.
Billy Joel – Tell Her About It (1983)
Billy Joel’s “An Innocent Man” is one of the most underrated concept albums in music history. The album featured 10 original songs which served as “homages” to various eras of popular music. This week, Dash Riprock delivers the most popular single off of this album, “Tell Her About It”, which hit #1 in the U.S. The highlight of this track is the vocal lead part, which features Billy’s voice in his prime and lots of good slides. Guitar is very chordy and basic, but interplays well with the bass and keys. Drums are also lots of fun to play.
Sting – All This Time (1991)
Dash also produces the first of an “unofficial” Sting two-pack with “All This Time”. The lead single from “The Soul Cages”, this song hit #5 in the U.S. and #1 in Canada. This song has a great melody, nice little bass line and keys parts. The guitar is the strummiest of strum fests, and drums are very straightforward, but a good test for non-expert players. The vocals are pretty easy as far as Sting songs go, and it’s fun to sing.
Sting – Fortress Around Your Heart (1985)
Sting’s “Fortress Around Your Heart” was the third single off of his first solo album, “Dream of the Blue Turtles”. Dash brings us this song in all of it’s haunting glory, including Branford Marsalis sax charted to keys. If you like playing high hats, you’re in for a treat, and the bass part is simple and driving. The highlight of this song for me is the vocals…IMO, this song has the best chorus in any solo Sting song, and you’re going to be tempted to jump right into the high harmony part when singing. It’s a ton of fun to sing.
