As we head toward the 10th Anniversary, this is, for me, the best of all the Anthems. Plus, if I may say, sung by one of the most beautiful over 60 women on Earth.
dog . . . -- you're the dude!!! i i love playing along W / MK this sad / sweet song !!!! and of course may bin laden rot in that waited bag at the bottom of arabian sea -- he caused a lot of pain & misery
just watched documentary on bbc4 about Mark Knopfler, and explained the inspiration behind this song.. my wife and i sat here in tears now, just beautiful!
I'd love to be the one who inherits Emmylou's brain for remembering the thousands of songs she's sang, written and recorded over the years and each nuance that goes with each piece of art she performs. She's flawless.
This song chokes me. It sounds like your average love affair ending song... but I heard Knopfler talking about it. He wrote it from the perspective of someone trapped in the WTC on 9/11 calling their loved one for the last time... O_O
@chucksmead This song chokes me too chucksmead, but even more so after reading your comment on Knopflers reasons behind the lyrics. After reading that and listening again to the song I shed more tears for all those poor people that never got a chance to say goodbye on that terrible day in history. My heart goes out to all their loved ones.
Beautiful ! Beautiful song!

Thanks DogSwede1. Check out Emmylou. Seems 60s are new 40s, at least for some. But still, so sad.
