Your reaction videos are perfect. You don't interrupt the song as others do and your analysis at the end is full of interest. This is one of my favourite Dire Straits songs and contains my favourite song line - "all I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme". For me there is no other band in the world to match Dire Straits, and Mark Knopfler is beyond compare as a guitarist, vocalist and songwriter (also a truly nice and humble man). It is great to have the pleasure of hearing their music along with people who treat it with so much respect.

Always loved this one, and the way it distills the sort of flowery romantic language that you'd associate with the Shakespeare play that it's named after down to one of the simplest human expressions imaginable, namely 'You and me, babe...how about it?' - what I like to call tough-guy romanticism at it's finest, yes? (Reminds me of some of the softer Ramones tunes like 'Danny Says' and 'Baby I Love You' in some ways...).

It's the little things about Knopfler's songs that have always amazed me. (This includes his impressive solo albums as well.) This song, for example, keeps utilizing the song from West Side Story (Somewhere there's a place for us) as well as invoking the love song from the 1960s version of Romeo and Juliet (a time for us.) Given that West Side Story was basically Romeo and Juliet without Shakespearean language, you have a song inspired by two movies. (Tunnel of Love? That's the Carousel Waltz in the first few bars of that song.)

Nice reaction, the song grows on you but you can sense the quality. R+J is Shakespeare that most schoolchildren study and the ultimate star crossed lovers, so his lyrics are great in giving it a contemporary feeling that works. I suggest rather than listening to the studio versions you listen to the Alchemy live versions where many of the classics were played and have almost become definitive. The audience adds something. The other song that has taken a classical literary theme is Kate Bush and Withering Heights another British classic from a famous book. Tunnel of love is much better on Alchemy, but the most amazing song I think is Telegraph Road, which should strike a chord with Americans. The Alchemy version is just as good if not better.

Dire Straits live versions (as on Alchemy) are usually an 'extended' or expanded version of the studio album, sometimes substantially different. But they changed over time, too, so in discussing a 'live' version it's often necessary to say which performance is being referenced. The Alchemy album had some of the best live versions, IMO. Sultans of Swing, Tunnel of Love, R&J I think. But 'Going Home' (aka local Hero - Wild Theme) is a case in point - their 1993 live version (on the On The Night album) is so beautiful it leaves all other versions in the dust.

There's no tempo changes. There are intensity changes. It's called dynamics. It's missing in most modern music. To slowly build a song, and many times bring it back down and build it up again. Leave the listener wanting....

Here's another vote for Telegraph Road. It'll change your life. I suggest the studio version first.

why does it sound like a Bruce Springsteen song? 🎹🎹 E Street Roy Bittan on keys here damn look who produced this album along with Mark Knopfler? Springsteen Stevie Nicks Tom Petty and more legendary producer Jimmy iovine. Jimmy needed some keys and he knew exactly who to call so he called professor Roy. another reason why way back when I first started hooking up with you folks I said making movies has always been my favorite album still is.

This album is basically frontloaded. Two great songs to start off. Other ones are still solid but not as good.

If a guy said any one of those lyrics I would melt and love him forever. "I can't do everything but I'll do anything for you. I can't do anything except be in love with you" And "all I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme, Juliet I'd do the stars with you anytime." Just perfect

Good tunes to play along w/, ya seems shorter than 6 mins...... But boring in concert, too many sound alikes. Strange when they did so much original material.....
