Mark Knopfler Theme from Local Hero

[johnnytheglesgabhoy2]

I live in Glasgow and am lucky enough to have visited the village of Pennan many times. I have also visited the Sands Of Morar where the scenes from the movie were filmed. The music from this film is amazing.

[tramlad2]

great music,for a fantastic film,makes me homesick,awesome,

[ricocchet]

Amazing track! Thanks for posting :)

[MsPurrl]

P.S. Good idea about using this for funeral music.

[MsPurrl]

This movie was on TV tonight, and I watched it yet again. This song never fails to make me cry--I just love it!

[matbso]

someone have this soundtrack?

[Dimebag664]

Toon, Toon!

[bimbo12381]

From the first time i heard it, it´s very harmonic music.

[VolkmarKlemm]

best combination of notes possible! probably my favourite instrumental song ever.

[terrazas305]

Mark Knopfler... what a genius, the actual music is rubbish comparing it with the one of 70s or 80s.

[Inquiable]

This is going to be my funeral song. Beautiful piece.

[tonymax2000]

@Inquiable Sorry, got there first, written into my will when I first heard it !!

[NarcoS1S]

Sigh, remember driving in the car on the family holidays, and this was (actually still is) my mums favourite tune. We would listen to it while she used to read us Treasure Island. Nostalgia is still the best drug.

[sentineldg8]

Its so nice to see all these great coments about this fantastic tune

[ennell1]

such a great movie and the music is incredible

[actionjackman]

Greatest tune ever written, 1 dislike, how dare you!

[nowaxtheory]

I just barely saw this movie at 28. I cant believe it took this long to see such a masterpiece

[MrsBrownsBoysFeck]

Who the Hell would dislike this - HOW THE HELL CAN YOU NOT LIKE THIS? Talent makes people jealous, I presume.

[GicaTractoristu]

@MrsBrownsBoysFeck Though there is only one dislike at this time. It cannot be seen, cannot be felt. Let the song embrace you and forget about haters.

[antofa123]

RIP Michael Brecker... You were a star that shone oh so brightly!

[TheACLJ]

My all time Number One, the live set on Alchemy Live was the best.

Thanks for uploading this. Brilliant!

[embolin0]

This was the final song at my mom's funeral and @2:26 everyone stood up and clapped. Most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

[gojackbauer]

toon! :)

[1959shige]

マイケル・ブレッカーにRIP・・・

[banjaxed73]

Fantastic film, fantastic tune. The film was on the other day and I just had to listen to this track again.

[SalfordRed666]

Here, has anyone tabbed out from 2.25 onwards? All I can seem to find are the tabs for before that.

[hellomisterboyd]

Superb

[LordElpus1000]

Unsurpassable. Genius music.Mark, what the matter with you lately?

[MrSecretworld1]

gordie lad and ,the tune is gooooooooooooooood !!

[cliffy0026]

Beautiful song. Love the sax

[MrHan56]

the best song ever

[pezzarajpacket]

Everytime i hear this song i come close to tears and realise that i am sooooo proud to be a geordie and and would never and i mean NEVER wanna be anything else. I cant get over how much i love Newcastle and how different and better us geordies are!!!

[1kufanatic]

My husband and I had this played when we walked together hand in hand, for our garden ceremony for our wedding in 1988 ... I am using it again for the slide show for his 50th birthday on December 30, 2011 ... Dire Straits played at the Mackay Show Grounds in the 80's ...

[STONEROSES9]

There's quite a few songs out there that give me shivers, but this one is by far the worst. Takes me back to the first time I walked out into St. James' pre-match and this was booming! Unbelievable feeling!

[xTheChivalrousx]

@STONEROSES9 Your right on the money there mate. Its a masterpiece amazing how no words can drive emotions...

Toon Toon Black And White Army! :)

[clmclachlan]

I LOVE this tune - and the movie.

[paronfisk]

I got this song on my mind today, I havent heard it in a long time and I dont know what made me sing it.

[juseku]

[rob032]

NUFC

[shrimpfarmersunion]

1:49-1:53 was used in a BP commercial. Who would have thought to take that note!

[queenmagic1982]

GREAT MUSIC I LOVE IT RESPECT MARK KNOPFLER

[upyertube]

When I listen to this song I think about how MacIntyre (Peter Riegert) must have felt returning to his life in Houston...

Great Music by Mark Knopfler...Great acting by Peter Riegert and Burt Lancaster...a great film all around...

[ClickChase]

haha toon toon <3

[xolej1]

mega...

[bradleyrobson]

this song reminds me of watching newcastle playing sunderland with a pie and bovril freezing cold with my dad in st.john halls stand

[smith0250]

@bradleyrobson This song always reminds me of the North and im a makem :)

[atimtambaby]

I loved it when Keith Olbermann made a reference to this wonderfully quirky and obscure movie when announcing Peter Reigert's birthday one year during Countdown.

[spleenbeachboy1]

[SuperSegalla]

[MrZork888]

This is real music.

[MrMusedu]

One red phone box. One piece of music. A load of memories.

[Ginandor]

@MrMusedu I stood in the red phone box. I think its still in Pennan, outside the pub/hotel

[barnabyfraser]

Fantastic. I love this music.

[zaksnanna]

[smudger746]

this guy is very underrated... along with the late great gary moore, they are 2 of the best.

[ityslatmdykt]

one thing seperates this from a lot of other popular music...this has SOUL...simple as that.

[TheMillford]

Great instrumental. A genuine classic.

[Alchohollica]

Superb, my dad used to listen to this when i was a child. Brings back memories...

[bmortloff]

@Alchohollica Same. I lost my dad some months ago and that post was tough to read.

[bridgetjh]

@Alchohollica Same for me....when my dad bought his first ever CD player it came with 2 tickets to see Dire Straights.

[eNNe93]

@Alchohollica

I used to listen 80's radios with my father when I was a child... now I love that moments and I'm still listening them ;D

[lorenei]

@Alchohollica It was also my dad who go me into Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits :)
