Sting says, “The song ‘Rushing Water’ is a fitting start to an album that seeks to bridge all of the petty differences that can separate us.” Written by Sting, with music by Sting, Martin Kierszenbaum and Gavin Brown, “Rushing Water” features Dominic Miller and Gavin Brown on guitars, Josh Freese on drums, Martin Kierszenbaum on organ & keyboards, Fred Renaudin on additional synthesizers and Gene Noble on background vocals.
