Instrumental guitar performance and guitar tab for, Shape Of My Heart, by Sting. This song was most famously used as the closing theme of, Léon: The Professional.
Léon is one of my all time favorite movies. Starring Natalie Portman, Jean Reno, and Gary Oldman -- Léon: The Professional is an amazingly casted and highly entertaining crime/thriller. When it was first released (on VHS) in 1994 is was simply called The Professional. I believe they released a special edition (or director's cut) when DVD's arrived on the scene in the late 90's. That was titled Léon: The Professional.
This movie is squarely from the 90's golden age of adventurous storytelling and filmmaking. The movie industry was entirely sparked by the success of Quentin Tarantino's early films -- and daring, independent filmmaking was en vogue. Tarantino excluded, 90's movies were always tightly packaged into 90 minutes. I've always thought this run time is ideal as you're left wanting more.
What do we have currently? For 20 years, it's been either superheroes or slow, socially finger-wagging dramas that appeal to no one but The Academy. Just watch Léon: The Professional and you'll see that it's perfectly balanced, lean entertainment.
The final musical cue in Léon is, Shape Of My Heart, by Sting. This song is from the album, The Summoner's Tales.
It must be said that, for all intents and purposes, this is the actual guitar part of Shape Of My Heart -- and it's a work of art. I've ghosted in Sting's vocal melody in the verse and chorus to create a true fingerstyle guitar arrangement. However, the actual (intro) guitar line is a mind-blowing exercise of musicianship, writing, and quality.
