GRANDI



[roffelpantoffel]

thanky! ^^

[IrishWarrior43]

I was 14 years old and trying to find a musical soul.Dire Straits provided it but,I have to say there later stuff just became to commercial for me :-(

[leoantonio]

If you're gonna post the lyrics, the least you could do is not change and abridge them. "YES I need a little water of love", "now my woman SHE gone", BUT THERE AINT no water here to be found"... ANNOYING.

[rador7]

I know the boy is from Glasgow but man he sounds like he's from the Delta.

[carrietide]

<3 Wonderful memories

[1704bayourob]

One of the greatest albums of ALL TIME....

[midlifemikey]

@ Bladerknight25- funny you say that.....it makes me think of New Mexico or Death Valley. :)

[Bladerknight25]

@midlifemikey

Those ones too, this song si appropriate with every american desert :D

[vasilikibarrowman]

I was 36 when I heard this song and it came out allegedly in 1977 when I graduated from high school in the deep south...it reminds me of my crazy childhood...

[Bladerknight25]

If i close my eyes, i see the Texas desert

[Jeliel14]

semplicemente bellissima...

[vitorro1970]

Geniales-demassieeeeeee.......­............

[Stickmodee]

Thank you for putting these up. I could listen to MK play guitar anytime.

[ty3165]

i just love getting really stoned listening to this album in a dark room with only a couple of candles for company. oh yeah baby 

[EdwardJamesCastSly]

3 people died in the afternoon

[vasilikibarrowman]

Good song to listen to when its a dry non existent winter and then a drought on top of it!

[eddie14700]

let's all jump in the water, WOW. :)))

[eddie14700]

oh man the memories of this , still have the vinyl album. smoked alot to this LMAO. :))

[propeleaton]

I love Dire Straits, but if this isn't River Runs Deep by JJ Cale I don't what would be.

[SuperRod88]

Happy Birthday David Knopfler (December 27)

[tamatoa7ful]

Great Track...Lets All Drown..

[diemutha666]

No water of love for the person who disliked.

[Mr5maggio]

Goduria allo stato puro.

[PsychoticNostrils]

The dislike has since died of hate and dehydration.

[mario62124]

first time i listen to this song in 1989 when we smoking lot marijuana hihihihih frank had ******** hihihiihihi

[63sbu]

First time listening to this song. Amazing. Thanks to the Uploader.

[Bluebunny152]

Me dad used to play this to me when I was asleep in the car, Yes I need a little water of love

[Sturminfantrist]

Many thx for posting this and other songs with Lyrics!

[pycargue]

Absolutely genius this album, very intelligent son, Mark always in style and grace , the 80's definetly the best period !

RIP also to Sir Gerry Rafferty , & Maurice Gibb

Madrid Beach west Tlemcen Do it better

[SIERRAHPBT]

@pycargue I agree but I think the best time for music was from the early 70's to about 1988.

[747p38]

Aahhhh! A little "Water Of Love" to quench my thirst!!

[TausHaus]

Dire Straits' Water of Love is the best?...That's not a clain I'd make....I've always loved the song, since I bought the album way back a few Centuries ago....All their albums have some kick shit on 'em...Trust the Maharishi of Music.

[fanebabanu19]

entire album is vital ;)

[TheDrpado]

still a masterpiece !

[08shortstop]

Mark Knopfler invented the guitar .... at least that mournful, finger-picking wail .... water and love .... vital to life.

[slickvguy]

Wow. This wonderful song sounds so much like it could be a Gerry Rafferty song. I haven't heard it in such a long time.

[ranjan1sri]

Are claves used to create the initial sound of water drops?

[ismetkutluk]

@ranjan1sri Yes, exactly.

[TheDaringdave]

Great music,they're best before getting caught up in mtv attitude.Thanks for reminding me how good this album is.A classic.

[monkwhitley]

the dislike is probably a total K nob, not to like Mark K nopler.

[bronto6666]

ma\ daddy gave unto me straits . ford escort 1.6 ghia mark iii , and all the lessons

[08shortstop]

One dislike? Just to be different? What's not to like? Mark is a musical genius and this song proves it.

[mesri3]

is the slide guitarist mark himself? if it is then man o man, he's divine.

[mesri3]

this song makes love to my aural equipment. it is so beautiful. it is the song that cements mark's soulful singing capability.

[LFC1952]

Well I Hope You Got A Disc Player For Your Bronco The Remastered Album Sounds Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[johnnyboync1]

my favorite dire straits song. the opening is classic, the drums kick ass.

[mfkssss]

[Maanrag]

Song of my soul

[Broomehall]

I was eighteen when i bought this on vinyl many many moons ago, thought i had discovered the album of the century, looking back i realise we all had ! will never tire of it's dulcit tones, just makes me feel wonderful in a way i can't describe..........

[moneydepp]

@Broomehall i was 5 when my dad bought this album...and still i cant get a better one !

[Richmoore3]

@Broomehall couldn't say it better myself!

[sunshinesbeter11]

fabulous! ty

[Maanrag]

This song reflects my deepest inner feelings and needs.

[TheJamesalden]

Thanks for posting this. What a song; what a band....

[sbeat56]

mark knoffler should be part of the worlds greatest .... love his stlyle of playing

[dansteely77]

@thallow117: I agree with you, thallow, that the whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts, and it comes off sounding pretty darn good in the end. Mark Knopfler would probably be the first person to admit something like: yeah, I can sing in tune; about an 8 note range on a GOOD day! But the sound of his voice has a real presence. Texture. I like the singers you likened him to and would add Lou Reed on certain songs to that list. Also, I meant "I just USE me own bare 'ands!"

[xsellsbrod]

hand made Sound... F A N T A S T IC since Centuries

[txeire]

sexxxyy

[Winterstick549]

Back when they were just a four piece band.

[nipika0080]

love dis song <3

y is it dat tday's music cant b lyk dis??

ugghhh

[johnlovestohate]

@nipika0080 And I wonder why today's generation can't type words properly. dys, lyk, dat, and many such replacements just shows how stupid people are who think that spelling that way makes them appear cool. Uggghhhh!

[nipika0080]

@johnlovestohate well,i jus dont lyk typin whole wrds k?

[nipika0080]

@johnlovestohate well,i jus dont lyk typin whole wrds k? uuuuuggghhhh n i try 2 comment nicely n u do this.gt a lyf.

[Mrmusicvideoetc]

Best Strait's song ever!

[dansteely77]

Not much of a voice but, boy, can this cat pick the guitar! Plus, in his own words, "I just me own bare 'ands!"

[thailow117]

@dansteely77 yeah, but the voice fits the style. somehow like jj cale, tom petty or even henry rollins in their habitats; not really 'singers' but touching. dunno.

[BOOINHAY]

@thailow117 

[88chevcaprice]

Oh no way! I forgot about this song! Finally found it

[mperry104b]

I was a senior in High School when this came out. Now those were some good memories with great music

[jaquesfrick]

Very very good song.

[bcr07pzu]

two times.

back to back

again and again

brilliant still after the millionth.

[burt2800]

I'm 16 now but this was the first album I got when I was about 12/13 and it's still one of my favourites.

[Winnetou8inyoung]

Thanks for refresh remembrances.

First "Dire Straits" is so first.That strongl kernel continually fructify, yeah.;)

[Dano407]

This cassette was worn out on my commutes back and forth to college in the 80's. Yes, I still have the old Bronco.  The tape deck took a ride to the dumpster about a month ago.

[lighthouscolor]

@Dano407 I have had this album in several media cassette CD now Youtube and it's still one of the top. Knopfler is timeless . Been fun watching him mature. He is still awesome. a true artist. and let me guess...you were doin about 85 mph when Sultans of Swing was over. LOL

[n8tureboy]

@Dano407

What model was the Bronco? I had a late 60's model and an early 70's. Stick shift on the column and three speed-three on the tree!

Was it a Sparkomatic tape deck?

[NortyNippy]

@Dano407 aww sentimental

[dvkal]

Perfection, Thanks 

[1831georgia]

i have ..about a hundred cd collection, and this album tops them all, just a little upset of my copy bec. of sultans of swing version, they cut the end part, shit! it was the part...just like what the radio play, by the way it's made in korea, korean sucks!

[aajmkkcsm5]

nice.... thanx for the up...

[dtennow]

I'm amazed ther are only 8600 hits. This album came out when I was in high school.

How can you not love this stuff?

[drubedo]

This was one 'awesome' album. It never gets old.

[xsellsbrod]

@drubedo it IS awesome ;-))

[Kgv1]

amazing how 'simple and brilliant' music can be at the same time

(at least when it comes from the starits)

[Good999Music]

I just love their first album

[revoluketion]

Great tune! thnx for upload.

L.

[seanandtracey1]

best dire straits album! nice to see someone with some taste post this!!! thanx!!!!

[MrVapourtrail71]

A VERY Rare Gem...not To say That Most of the Straits Music Isn't...But This one Is right up there With "Sultans","calling Elvis","Romeo an Juliet"..Etc.

[allisoncairncross]

this song is the best

[G1GODnB]

@allisoncairncross

its hard to say which song is the best, they all are =))
