I don't think he is a Sir (as in the formal British honorific title). But, to be fair, I don't know why. He is, beyond any doubt, a great artist, and he is so British in his writing and in his use of words that I can't understand why he has not been awarded this honour yet.
Maybe you need to have been involved in a few scandals to get it? Who knows? :P
Effortlessly laid-back,yet a genious in his understated way--simply lovely stuff. How relaxed does this make you feel?--beautiful!--a new one to my ears despite all I own-----thank you,J-- xxx
One word "Legend" After my divorce in 2000 I moved to a beach town in rural australia to find myself. I listened to dIREsTRAITS every night which helped me easy my pain. I have all his albums, There will never be another. Golden Heart brings a tear :'(
This song was played on my father's funeral a year ago. I can't listen to it without tears in my eyes. It reminds me of some holidays we've had, in which he took along his cd of Mark Knopfler. It brings back great and bitter sweet memories. What a great song!
i was sailing across the channel at night with my girlfriend at the back of the ship under the stars listening to this amazing song, i will never forget it.thank you mark knopfler!
I love this song, i prefer to listen to it when im driving a car or something. Eaven better would be if someone else is driving and you're just slumbering in the backseat. Anyway, Great song.
Thank you so much for this video! I love Mark Knopfler, and if you look you can see I've done a cover of this that I put on you tube. This is an awesome recorder, and you are a tribute to Knopfler fans everywhere
Saw Mark sing this in concert at the Tower in Philadelphia in 2002 with my uncle. I'll never forget it. One of the few songs that I could hear over and over and it never lost its luster. Thanks Mark and band for an unbelievable experience.

Me thinks maybe he is already a Sir (Knight) Knopfler as well. Certainly a Sir of the Six String.

I must say he looks tired and his voice is broken at this gig. But normally he rocks.
