I'm aboriginal I grow up listening 🎧.... to this songs ✌️👍♥️😎💤... right in the middle of Australia desert bush remote community... central Australia......the best guitarist Mark....K....... you are truly best 💪🔥👍😎....
I'm an American white guy and I love Mark's music. I'd love to listen to it with you, we have more in common than we do different. Cheers from Virginia.
I've been in love with this tune since the first time I heard it nearly 40 years ago. Every time I hear him play it, the hairs on my neck stand up, I get goose bumps, a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes - all of them signs of joy. It is just so beautiful and celebratory. When I'm dead, and they burn what's left behind, let them play this to see me off. And tell them to play it loud - so I can hear it one last time: them big gas burners are right noisy 👍
What terrible thing to think while Iistening to this its full of joy some people are dead when then are still alive enjoy the fantastic sound it's not the right time to think about these things listen to the music that's what plays for so enjoy his talent he plays for his own pleasure but us to listen
My son of 15 years old heard this on one of my cd's Now all my Dire straits and Knopfler cd's and dvd's have moved from my listening room to his room So proud...!!!
In Eastern culture, it's sometimes said the music is the food for soul. And this proves it! MK has some wizardry to reach souls with music and touch finer senses. Standing ovation 👏🏼.
No. I thank his parents. Take your magic beans and get thee to a nunnery, God-boy; kindly leave the real world with its real people and real events to those with the wit to appreciate it. No offence... ;-)
If you want to know and see what "genius" looks and sounds like, listen to this composition from Mark Knopfler. He is cut from a totally different class of a fabric, above and beyond mere mortals. I heard this tune decades ago and still get a lump in my throat when I hear it. It's incredible that so many emotions can be squeezed into a guitar ... only MK is capable of doing that. Also give an applause to the amazing band he has!
Yep I've told my family to take me home with this song at my funeral! I love this so much - I hope my kids love it too! This makes me cry every bloody time I hear it!
An anthem for Geordies all over the world. It's that feeling when you get back home in Newcastle by train across that Tyne Bridge. Those who know, know.
That’s a big call, but he is one of the very best performer / composers of the the last hundred years plus. He is an absolute master at arranging his music. This is sublime.
First heard this live, Mark Knopfer, Dire Straits Brothers in arms tour, when Hank Marvin came on stage to play it with them..... think it was Hammersmith Palais, 1985..... absolutely superb, never to be forgotten
Soooooo many exceptional guitarists out there...I'm a metal and blues fan...but very very few have the touch, feel and emotion of mark...I would love to see him and david Gilmour do a collaboration of some sort....that would be WOW..😎👍👌
Unmatched as a player and without peers in ability to compose soul stirring music that is so joyous and beautiful! His songs are full of lyrics that paint pictures , with words . A superb talent!
Thank you for uploading this fantastic track, I could listen to it all day and every day. Mark is a genius, I was very fortunate to see him at The Royal Albert Hall in the 90's. Mark's tribute to Sir Stirling Moss by playing this at Goodwood was wonderful, beyond words!
I love this song it is so moving. I want to get up dance with big steps . Brings tears to my eyes. I wish I had discovered it earlier. Watch on you tube while viewing Scotland
Going home tomorrow to Scotland from Australia to see family for first time in almost 4 years…..covid has been part of the problem. Playing this song non stop this week…tearing up every time. Going to surprise them all and just turn up for Easter. Can’t wait.
I saw him in concert las 2019 in Pamplona Spain..no words to describe he is 71 years but his músic músic timeless...one of the best of all times ...long life Mr. KNOFPLER
This music is like the passionate woman I love. It is just magic I am lucky enough to have this on vinyl the recordings from the incredible Local Hero film . But his live versions are just sublime. I suspect this is some of the most amazing music I have ever experienced.He clearly did not want it to finish. I will play this through my stereo. He has added a few notes to this tune, I first heard it in “ a night in London” video . As I said Sublime. He looks sad too.
Desde a década de 80 eu acompanho essa BANDA maravilhosa, estamos em 2020 eles estão mais experientes o porque velhos já Mais ! E continuam tocando uma Barbaridade 🎸❤️🙌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks Mark.... I seen you and your band when you came to Perth WA (Australia) (hot house flowers were the warm up band and they were Awesome ) What a great vid to watch
This number takes me back to the times I worked away from home when crossing a certain bridge on the motorway and all the familiar landmarks were shown.I knew then I was truly "Going Home"
I love this,new to me,in Whitby,Ontario,Canada ♥️🇨🇦Love Mark Knopfler,nd my beloved husband revered him,he passed away a year ago,thank you for everything Mark,down the long years ♥️🇨🇦
It always makes me cry. So wistful, so yearning. And that ringing from the phone box on the empty pier, which it's likely no one will answer. Yes, the film "Local Hero" is where I first heard this, and it's that bittersweet closing image that remains in my mind, and colors my interpretation of the piece.
I actually buy that . I am not religious but his music is so unique ( it really is) I remember talking about this when he first appeared. He never seems to play this the same way twice these days. The man has a beautiful mind. This piece of music my all time favourite. That’s a huge call
Looks like he’s just starting to lose the timings on those twiddly bits now.... the man is a genius and a legend and his music and style will live on forever I hope!
Interestingly,he's playing this on a Gibson Les Paul.On the original recording,and most of the others on RU-vid,he uses his trademark Fender Stratocaster.The tone,and particularly,the sustain of the Gibson is very different,and he appears to have changed his playing style somewhat to get the best out of the instrument.Still brilliant,but slightly altered interpretation.
@@dennislane100 Hi, Dennis! There's a Parkinson interview somewhere on RU-vid where Mark talks a little about his childhood hopes and heroes - The Shadows got him into Fender, and the great Eleanor Peterson [that's me!] turned him on to Gibson. Actually, I'm lying about the Gibson thing. I'm a pitifully inadequate guitarist... Sigh...
