This gives the song more meaning-to know he wrote this out of love for his wife. I feel better about a musician's work when I know they have their lives together and are not just a lot of hype.
Mark Knopfler, um dos maiores guitarristas de todos os tempos sem dúvida alguma. Guitarra sempre melodiosa. É delicioso acompanhar as mudanças de estilos ocorridos com esse ídolo do Rock. É fácil reconhecer suas músicas, pois, assim como Carlos Santana, o tom de sua guitarra é sempre inconfundível. Obrigado por tudo MK!
This was the fav song of a very special friend who died in an accident a week back.He was the one who introduced me to dis lovely song n I've been hooked since.Dis one will always remind me of u sweetie.RIP
In fact, i can remember everything i did the evening i bought it...and i own like 750 albums or so...the record shop doesn't even exists nowadays...greetings
anyone who knows music knows that you dont necesarely like a song on the first listen but the second is always amazing, i didnt paticularly like that song at the beginning but now i cant stop listnening to it over and over
i totally agree with you. in my opinion, mk is far better than the meagre 27th he was voted in the Rolling Stones top 100 guiatists of all time. i also think that his music will last far longer than a lot of the pretty boring stuff u get these days. he is a living legend, and i think he has been so under-rated and relatively unappreciated throughout his life.
I agree, definitely better than 27th. I've always rated him as superior to Clapton or Cobain. He knows a guitar's limits inside out and his tunes are inspiring and evocative. I still can't pick my No 1 favourite from either his Dire Straits years or his solo career, but this one comes very close, esp for the final verse and the music after it - always makes me smile!
I agree, Chet Atkins himself said "MK is a great guitarist and a person." It rings true too, see all the videos he and mark did together. Les Paul, Chet Atkins, Mark Knopfler, and Leo Kottke are pioneers and legends in the guitar world. Rolling Stones don't know what they are talking about.
Think about it. He's telling her to come away with him, away from all the troubles of the world 'cast away the chains, darling pretty'. Does a love song need any more explanation? It's a song about love, 'love will find a way, darling pretty, find a heaven for you and I'. Listen to the words and figure it out. Mark is the master of writing lyrics where you have to read between the lines to get the true meaning.
This song is the best proof for showing that feeling is more important than speed when it comes to guitar playing! One of my favourite solos for sure!
decent. . . voted in top 20 guitar players of all time . . . who would you say is best musician someone who wanks off their guitar playing at FULL SPEED . . been there done that bought the t-shirt its boring
Another great song by Mark Knopfler..I lost count of how many hits this man has put out!!.It's amazing the talent that he has..Great guitar, great voice, great composer, great writer..Thanks for posting it...
Don't get me wrong, that is exactly what I was trying to point out: it is smart music.
I was trying to answer willyrobinson's comment, who said the video was stupid.
My point is it is not.
No answers to the immaterial questions, at least not from me... but the only fact of provoking them shows, to me, that the video is artistic, in its purest sense.
God - I love mark Knopfler. if there's a more tasteful player on the planet, I have yet to hear him. Brilliant songwriter - a gentleman who defines class and a player who can coax the most exquisite sounds out of a guitar that i have ever hear. The tone and choice of notes in this song and his solos just stops me dead in my tracks. If God plays guitar, this is surely how He sounds.
Thank you very much, Kenny - your comments are much appreciated. I, too, have been a fan for a couple of decades of well. And as a guitar player myself, Mark Knopfler reminds me of a 24 year old Scotch whiskey - so smooth and so tasteful. Just a pleasure to listen to.!
MK & DS are simply out of this world. From the days of Romeo & Sultans. We are now haveg to live with 'Britney' 'Girls Aloud' 'Justin' Diddy Puff Daddy or whatever and any other rapper that thinks they are talented together with all the other dross that portray themselves as a musical talent...............wake up and smell the coffee!
If there's a more tasteful guitar player on the planet, I have yet to hear him. Mark Knopfler is an incredible musician and songwriter - as a guitar player myself, I'm in awe of his ability to hit notes that are indescribebly beautiful. Oh there may be players who are technically more proficient on the guitar -i.e. they can play 2,314 64th notes in 2 seconds, for example, but nobody constructs such beautiful solos as Mark.
Mark Knopfler es simplemente DIOS tocando la guitarra y la cancion es una de las mejores de el como solista, gracias Mark por existir y esperamos que vuelvas pronto a Mexico
