cant get enough of this song.. been listening to dire straits allmost all my life,,. heard sultans of swing a billion times, and still love it,,, timeless it is !
No problem man! We have to be grateful to our parents , at least I am, for raising me to love good music, and thankfully to them, music was a big part of my life since my earliest childhood, and now when Im 30 years old, I can still remember the joy when we bought our first stereo and it played and played continuously. Nowadays my favorite bands are Queen and, of course, Dire Straits, and all that thanx to my dad! Long live good music!
When I was 5 years old, my dad used to listen to this and other rock songs and play it to me, but I am so lucky that I finally rediscovered this one because this is the absolute top of what we know as music. Now it sounds even better because it is timeless! Mark Knopfler is a genius!
I have a similar story.My dad used to have a cassette of Dire Straits' second album Communique and we would listen to it in a car whenever we went somewhere, especially on a long trip.I'd just sit and marvel at his pristine guitar tone which was unlike anything I had heard up till that point.When it finished we'd just flip the sides again and listen to it till reaching the place we were headed to.
Hey I remember this song... It was a Waylon Jennings song way back when! Been years since I even thought about this old gem. Dunno if Waymore's was the first though.
btw.. how many guitars do i hear? 50? o wait! its mark knopfler and his brotherman!

Was this album the greatest thing ever put on tape?
I mean after I taped up the bathroom mirror after a drunken encounter with that.

Well your hands are squeezing me down to the bone
I never saw you breaking no law
Stands to reason I've got to leave you alone
What you take me for
Mark Knopfler comes from another world,in which man can feel talking and talk feeling.I love.

@AngusVanFrehley I thought country was written by white boys with English sounding names, in English. Duh.

Was a fan when they first started.
Tracks remain timeless, just as good to hear now as they were then.
