Mark Knopfler - Postcards from Paraguay

[Jagg2305]

I love this song, but where he has it capo'd, he may as be playing a mandolin. I still love his unique swing to his playing.

[villarinsfran]

1. For geeks, he is speaking about Paraguay, is not Uruguay.

2. It's a beautiful song, and reflects the reality prevailing in any country with corrupt politicians.

3. Pe jetavy'o raë vaërä la pe ñeeserö la che ratägui. Viva el Bravo Paraguay.

[cheguarani]

PERO DONDE NO EXISTE CORRUDTO EN TODO LADO HAY si fueron los europeo lo que invento jajajja SALUDO PAZ Y AMOR =)

[F800rams]

Exquisite ! @mosotube I was at that concert in dxb and was not drunk - maybe you were too close to the bar?

[mosotube]

I had the privilege to be in his concert in Dubai UAE many years ago. Perhaps the only sober in the hall, yet probably the most dunked and affected by his instrument and voice. Loved him then, love him now as a musician. Still wondering in his tunes, now waiting for him to drop by in Vancouver BC.

Respect from Iranians across the globe.

[etsragon]

very nice!

[Stratosphr]

I'm between 1 and and 120 years old and like everyone, i like every song from Mark :)

[mbaeikonde]

Respect from Paraguay. lml

[hellswinter]

I can't get enough of this perfect melody. It's my ringtone, and I hear it constantly, but I've never grown tired of it.

[CallMeMister99]

An unusual subject for a song, an uncommon key... Masterfully written, great economy of language, it carries it's own lilting energy. I've been inspired to try to copy MK since I heard him play thirty years ago, and I can - almost - do this justice, but it really, REALLY lets me know I have arthritis in my hands! C'mon, play something simpler and slower, PLEASE! ;-)

[SrdjanLimich]

Finally we've got 1000000 views. Congratulations guys, but Mark deserves much more.

[wysiwygmol]

first time i`ve seen mark using a capo 

[idoy2807]

@wysiwygmol WHAT ABOUT ROMEO AND JULIET?



[magicelliotth]

@wysiwygmol seriously?

He uses a capo in loads of songs, A good 40% of his solo songs.

[cuuucco]

what is this song about? something to do with somekind real life story ?

[222smily]

I love this song, it has such a beautiful rythm and MK seems to have much fun and pleasure while singing it.

[kjallesoft]

The song ,like it or not.

The man , if you do not see what you want ,go away.

It's never gonna be your idiot way.

It's good ,it's deep ,it's true ,it's real .

Nobody needs to be fooled ,damaged nor killed by shit.

Do not disturb. Die away remote.

[cheemzippoop]

Brilliant performance and very beautiful song. Thanks for posting it. I'm happy we're living in one time with genius.

Greeting and respect from Armenia

[GeorgeTel100]

@SrdjanLimich Hello to you too! Nicely said, and so right...

[SrdjanLimich]

@GeorgeTel100 Thanks, lad! Hope we'll enjoy MK's creativity for more long time. Age doesn't matter for him. I'm listening his (and Dire Straits) music since 1978 and still have strong wish to listen more and more.

Best wishes.

[GeorgeTel100]

@SrdjanLimich Thank you, friend, same to you!

[SrdjanLimich]

[MoroccanFurniture]

@cunningtond Very sarcastic indeed.

@Mosa113  being briliant is makes you tired

[69gerardito]

buenisimo

[TheKazakh21]

o@69gerardito big thanks to knopfler

[ioster3]

Amazing Mark. This song has an insight that only a South American would comprehend. He obviously learned whilst performing in Brazil. He really doesn't waste time! Well done.

[ajwplanet]

So great, been to a concert of him last year. MK still has it, what a guitar player

[nc9008py]

God bless Paraguay!!

[csakotom]

Someone write : Don't like.... Who is this idiot?

[csakotom]

Someone write : Don't like.... Who is this idiot?

[Movielunatic]

Взгляните на мои видео-продукции. Вы найдете все виды интересных между небом и землей! Вы не будете разочарованы!

[JorunnMN]

Mark Knopfler sings about life's realities. In addition, he is a unique guitarist and song writer.

The best. :))

[TheLyon1982]

Best guitarist ever walked this planet!

[PaulC39]

Mark comes up with such nice beautiful verses and guitar playing. Such soothing music.

[marianamihailova]

love it ! 

[wwm1968]

Mark is COOL!!!!!

[bozza1962]

Mark is a mature man now - and happy to se he isent running around like cracked down rockstars like rolling stones etc. But still his guitar play - is outstanding - second to none

[CunningTrickster]

I was listening to this song today and then later my boyfriend sent me this link...coincidence? :)

[cornelisX]

@CunningTrickster You just got an awesome boyfriend!

[PerfectSense3]

after alchemy he is going down and down. Sad.

[ArtPolo1990]

[PerfectSense3]

@ArtPolo1990 JAJAJA I LOVE THE GUY, BUT TO SAY THAT NOW IS BETTER THAN BEFORE ???

[damoknopfler]

[mehmed33]

[1972hornet]

[notsocrazyguy]

i'm 16 and i don't fell like i need to brag about my musical taste

[1dougdickens]

@notsocrazyguy Just be proud that you do have the taste you have and thanks those around you that have influenced what you like to listen to.  You are lucky.

[ShortyLee4]

@notsocrazyguy

we are one of few

[kevoishere1]

@notsocrazyguy nice.

[UPTOYOUBAND]

Love his expression in 1:41 . Mark is a genius!

[Tearloch]

Age is immaterial .. and Mark's music is ageless .. I have been listening to him for ever it seems .. him and I were born the same year .. and 40 years from now his music will still sound this good, if not better .. for age can smooth out many edges ..

[Defenestrati2700]

22, go mark. haven't heard this one but his picking is great.

[runair]

Hi Youngsters! I'm 53 and love that music from Mark since 1978 ;-)

[brossej07]

I've just finished listening to this for the 20th time in a row... such is the way I am when I find real music :-)

I think I might make a choral arrangement of this... it'd be interesting at the least...

[ncistwil42]

Like lots here, I'm going to be 16, and I've been listening to DIre Straits/ Mark Knopfler for at least 3 years, and I love his music, it means something, there are feelings, compared to the crap, commercial "music" doing today. By luck, my brother took me to his concert this summer in the arena of Nimes (south of France) and it was like if everything was perfect.

[tannerr96]

does anyone know a video of this song that it shows just him playing the guitar the WHOLE time because i want to figure it out on my guitar for the fun of it

[McalLopez92]

nobody cares how old somebody is

[pdgolf99]

real rock and roll is not dead,,,, just harder to find

[ElLOCOsanty]

Me da lastima verlo a mark tan anciano.... pero aun asi sigue siendo unos de los mejores musicos de todos los tiempos!

[BabolatsGroove]

I totally agree with CookieMonstahGirl. Today's stuff seems to have not feel, while Knopler's stuff has skill and passion.......

[TheMrsFreckles]

What a fucking lovely song. I'm about to cry when he says "from Paraguay" for the thrid time

[Rikardo1952]

Dziękuję piękna pieśń.

[SecondStep216]

поднимает настроение спасибо марк как всегда лучший

[zwierbler]

Helo Mark, the song is  beautiful.

Music as it´s best. the words actually tells you little, but with the melody it makes very much sense. this man has the true touch!! and allways had it!!

[faradyeva]

@kingoffinland I'm sorry, I wanted to vote up but accidentally I clicked on vote down.

[sahudise]

great!!

[betonhelm]

Master with his guitar.from Kassel and here!

Ein Erlebnis!!!!

[RUAV2TWIN]

Back in the day when LP`s only came in plastic, and films came on tape.. Dire Straits came to life with Sultans of Swing: on some program called " Whistle Test " or something like that. I loved that song and everything that followed after from this mans guitar..

[LUMINOX72]

From Desert Storm when I purchased a copy of Brothers In Arms. Just finished my last tour. Thanks Mark. that mellow sound soothes my soul and congers up my lost brothers memory in a solum respectful light.

[kurtz182]

Can't say enough about Knopfler. Except perhaps that he never ceases to amaze me. This is one well-crafted song. The lyrics, melody, and musicianship are 'out the roof'. A fan for life!

[orsi321]

@kurtz182

Completely the same for me, I share the same feeling! It's like he has the key to one's heart! he is more than an artist... it is a miracle, whatever he plays...

[skylike98]

from Paraguay....from everibody.....from heart...

[MartinchoLokura]

Anyone can see if he uses the Bridge Pickup, or the second position? Neck + Middle??

It sounds like second position, but it seems as if it was on the neck.... :S

Amazing performace otherwise... Idol

[19MaciekW94]

@MartinchoLokura

It looks and sounds like he uses second position (bridge+middle).

[zyzo99]

since 1998(4me) till now, no doubt MK!

[SunTeleLeo]

this is the REAL shit/

MARK - you filled my life with LOVE

[SunTeleLeo]

the HEART itself is what MARK IS

[poorboyblues1]

Pezzo incantevole
