I am Too // he is the best from best

I can't really think of one. Some of his very early work sounds a tad unpolished when compared to his later accomplishments, but even then it's far better to listen to than 99.9% of what's out there today. I've been watching a lot of his recent stuff since I just discovered it. Who knew he was still writing and recording? Obviously not me, so I'm playing catch-up. What I love is that no matter how powerful or heartbreaking the song he's singing, he is so completely unassuming in his delivery. Just stands there and sings and plays. Contrast that with so many of today's acts--and even acts that were around when he started out--that all have gimmicks! No gimmicks here--just absolutely perfect songs and guitar work. Another thing I love about his music is that his songs are lyrically interesting. I don't think he would have made it near this long writing songs about unrequited love, as some musicians seem unable to break away from. I saw him in a documentary where he said he reads a lot and writes songs about the things he reads. I don't know any other songwriter who does that. It makes his work so versatile. Can't stop raving now that I've discovered a bunch of great music I didn't even know was there. I'll be too busy for a while to complain about my government... (I'm a Yank, of course.)

Lo mas grande mark me encanta esa musica

The answer to your question is YES!

@@sherryburrows882 I honestly pray you are correct. My father was a POW in the Korean War. I've lived all my life with one of the negative effects of war (PTSD and physical ailments) in front of me. Why is it that so few of the people in power today appear to have any grasp on the true horror of war?

@@GrainneDhu Sorry for your sad experience. Did your dad come home? My dad was a military lifer and I was mostly raised on Army bases. He was in at the very end of WWII and served a couple of years in Korea. He was a civil engineer, though, so was never at the front. He did have one good joke about it, though. You know the difference between mechanical engineers and civil engineers? Mechanical engineers build weapons and civil engineers build targets!

@@sherryburrows882 I LOL'd at your dad's joke. My father did survive POW camp (or I would not be tapping on this keyboard). I'm 62 and he's 93. The only way I can put it is that something inside of him is broken and, at this point, I think both of us have given up hoping it will ever heal. He continues to be tortured by his experiences as a POW. Despite that, my father has lived an admirable life. During his medical career he helped tens of thousands of people, including during his time as a POW (as a surgeon, he was pretty close to the front lines, which is how he came to be captured). I don't care what a certain cheeto-hued politician thinks, to me, my father is a hero because even under the absolute worst of conditions, he continued to do all he could to help his fellow man. I doubt I will ever be able to forgive that sneer about POWs from Cadet Bone Spurs.

@@GrainneDhu I'm sorry for your dad's issues. I volunteer at a local VA psych and substance abuse treatment center and talk with both Vietnam Vets and those from the current conflicts. I've met a couple of Korea and WWII vets, but the WWII ones are dying off and the Korea vets are mostly older than tend to find themselves in treatment for alcohol or drug use. Vietnam vets and those from Iraq and Afghanistan are another story altogether. As a country, we're eventually going to have a huge price to pay for what we're doing in Iraq and Afghanistan, both places I believe we have no business remaining in, especially Afghanistan. Both the British empire and the USSR ended in great part because of their attempts to take and hold Afghanistan. It's now our longest war EVER! I've noticed that a lot of Mark's songs are anti-war. I love this one and Brothers in Arms both. It seems that after WWII most of Europe seemed to turn its' back on warfare. Could be that they simply don't have the military-industrial complex that keeps us going. In America it's all about profit, and those like Dick Cheney's Halliburton makes billions every year by our continuing adventures overseas. And we don't even hear about most of them. That caravan Chump wants his wall for? We've overthrown the government of Guatemala once and Honduras 3 times in the last 20 years or vice versa. And we've been active on the ground in El Salvador arming and funding one side or another since the 60's. But it never even makes the news, because they don't really want us to know about it. We are one of the most violent nations on earth, and we're still, for better or worse, the only country that has used a nuclear weapon in warfare. Think about that...

ja ne mogu da prestanem da je slušam...baš sam u problemu..fantastična melodija i majstorska izvedba...što bi rekli

Lunga vita MK!

I'm 33, and I more than know who he is. Good talent should never know any age boundaries.

Fine music, always and for so many years

I can’t never stop to listen to your songs Mark.🙏❤️🔥🎸
