It first appeared on his 1993 album Ten Summoner's Tales. The song was released as a single but only made it to number 16 on the UK Singles Chart and number 23 on the US Billboard Hot 100. However, it did reach No. 2 in Canada and Poland and became one of Sting's most famous songs, with many musical artists covering the song. Eva Cassidy recorded a version which first appeared on her 1996 live album Live at Blues Alley and later on her 1998 album Songbird and her 2012 compilation album The Best of Eva Cassidy. Cassidy's version topped the Polish LP3 chart in August 2001 and eventually charted in the Netherlands and Sweden. British-Georgian singer Katie Melua also recorded a version that reached the top 30 in the United Kingdom and Poland in 2017. Background"Fields of Gold" and all the other tracks on the album were recorded at Lake House, 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. The music video was directed by Kevin Godley. The cover of the album was photographed at Wardour Old Castle in Wiltshire, as was the cover for the album Ten Summoner's Tales. In Lyrics By Sting, the singer described the view from his 16th-century Wiltshire manor house: {{quote|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.[1]}}The music video features a silhouette of Sting walking through a village containing common features seen throughout the UK such as a red telephone box and a red pillar box. Release"Fields of Gold" was the second single released from the album after "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You". The single reached No. 16 on the UK Singles Chart, No. 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 2 on the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart. It was also a hit in Germany, Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Switzerland and many other countries. The song was included in Sting's first compilations album issued under the title The Best of Sting 1984–1994 and released in 1994 and in a later compilation The Very Best of Sting & The Police in 1997. It was re-recorded by Sting in 2006 as a bonus track for his classical album Songs from the Labyrinth, in which the song was accompanied entirely by a lute. Track listingUK 4-track CD single[2]
