My son lives in Beirut. He's a teacher, not a soldier, and he is a musician. I sent him the lyrics for this song, because I thought it would be particularly appropriate for what he is experiencing now. It's a wonderful, moving song/poem.
Everyone should play from 3 mins 55 secs. Randy Newman plays 'I want you to hurt like I do'. A song about a 100% self absorbed man who confesses to running out on his children/his wife and will do so again and again, but he 'hurts' for his sins. A great song of choice for any burial service for those who don't deserve anyone to attend. Brilliant song.
Randy Newman's 'Money that Matters' ... Added to Mark Knofler/Sting 'Money for Nothing' They called out from the 1980's the sell out sh+t that has led to 'woke' sh+t we are no fighting back against 40 years later. Randy actually shines through for us in his musical/lyrical ability.
Unlimited talent. Song after song. What a gift Mark is to this world. When he smiles doing what he loves it makes me smile to. He was born to entertain us and he excels all expectations !!!! We can never thank Mark for what he has given to all of us. I love you Mark.
Mark in quarant'anni ha perso la freschezza ma non e' cambiato quasi nulla. Chiunque lo avrebbe riconosciuto non solo per la sua chitarra o la voce ma per il suo viso , che ha ancora la stessa espressivita' e nessuna ruga profonda. Fantastico. !.
In assoluto uno dei più grandi chitarristi del mondo. Peccato che la critica lo abbia penalizzato preferendogli buoni chitarristi che hanno però avuto il merito o la fortuna di suonare in gruppi più famosi. Tanto per non fare nomi Gilmour e Richards
Ask 100 guitar players who was the greatest guitarist of all time, and 99.9% will say ,without any doubt, that CHET ATKINS was the BEST that ever lived ! MARK KNOPFLER was top ten ! R.I.P. MR ATKINS . THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!
