Love that how a gibson guitar cries and sings in Knopfler's hands. "just like a castaway, lost upon an endless sea. I saw you following ,come to rescue me."
The perfect love song. The sweetness of the tone of his guitar at the last solo of the song can make one cry... I'am at the age of 53 years now and I am stuck to Mark Knopflers tunes since the first appearance of Dire Straits into the music world. To my opinion... MK's best song. And he wrote lots of outstanding pieces of music. Thank you Mark for being the soundtrack of my life :-)
It's time to come away, my darling pretty It's time to come away on the changing tide Time to come away, darling pretty And I need you darling by my side Heal me with a smile, darling pretty Heal me with a smile and a heart of gold Carry me awhile, my darling pretty Heal my aching heart and soul Just like a castaway Lost upon an endless sea I saw you far away Come to rescue me Cast away the chains, darling pretty Cast away the chains away behind Take away my pain, my darling pretty And the chains that once were yours and mine There will come a day, darling pretty There will come a day when hearts can fly Love will find a way, my darling pretty Find a heaven for you and I Love will find a way, my darling pretty Find a heaven for you and I
I had my Darling Pretty once. Her compassion, warmth and love made me feel joy like no other. When I looked into her eyes, time stood still and my mind was at ease. Things were simpler back then and we used to listen to Dire Straits on repeat. Mistakes were made and I lost her. Several years passed, I still wake up every day thinking about her. As I get old, my memory fades - but every now and then when a Knopfler song comes on and I close my eyes, I see her clearly - her smile lighting up our world. I will never forget her, she will never be mine again. But I have grown to covet those ephemeral windows of happiness that Knopfler's songs evoke.
Mark Knopfler became part of my musical diet as early as 1979 (then with his all conquering Dire Straights ensemble) when I was still a starry-eyed teenager. Fast forward to 2024 both the musical star and me, the fanatical follower, are now old men but I am still feeding from his musical magic. Stay forever blessed rock legend.
This song is my #1 top 1000 ever list, it’s simply brilliant. The way Mark plays this Gibson Les Paul guitar is magical and unparalleled. I can listen to this song again and again and again, it’s amazing. The one note at 2:20/2:21 is so perfectly played and timed it gives me goose bumps, very energetic, very powerful.
I agree with you and I could say i'm out of my generation (i'm 23 years old) and i listen to mark knopfler and dire straits all day long it makes me forget about everything
Mark is 72 Years old now and has retired from doing concert's but he will still produce his songs and music God bless him always wherever he may be.love and hugs to the best ever musician on Earth.💖💖💖💖🌺💖💖💖💖💖💖

Hi from Turkey. The earthquake battered Turkey. No matter how agonizing the pain is, one can find ease in Mark Knopfler’s music. Thank you for mending my broken, aching heart.
I don't know how exactly (and why) I got hooked on that particular song, but I just can't get enough of it. Been playing it over and over again, until my ears start bleeding. Thanks, Mark. You made my day. :)

Oh ce clip ces images... La musique on la connaît, on l'aime on l'adore et on ne s'en lasse pas. Les images, la vidéo, une perfection entre ligne de fuite et le carré, la géométrie et l'envol. La beauté informelle et charnelle, au miieu de ces figures géométriques, ces rectangles, ce sombre et la couleur flamboyante de Daling Pretty. Et le son, la musique toujours. Je suis hypnotisée par ces images.
We played this at my patients funeral - I looked after her 2 years as a one to one which means I was solely responsible for her care - we grew very close - she was brain damaged from abuse -distressed most of the time but I bonded with her so tightly - I was holding her hand when she decided to be free at last so I dedicate this song to her fly high my Angel girl x you are free now x
@@samantharossiter8808 i feel your loss and empathise fully for u. I love this tune. I dedicate this song to my daughter and newborn grandson. ❤ Leah&Albie.❤
