My son is 18, we have an ongoing discussion... If you could have the talent of one or the other, who would you choose..Mark Knopfler or David Ruffin. He chooses Knopfler.
Mark Knopfler´s music from the early days of Dire Straits to this day in 2011 beautifully tells the story of the maturing of a human being. From wild days of youth and being a guitar hero to more serene and settled down excistence. Not everybody can see and appreciate this, some people want to stay in their days of youth forever. Mark´s career is a beautiful one, I think. And this song is absolutely touching.
Each new album he releases has a more pronounced Celtic sound and feel to it. The moods in his songs are quite consistent throughout, and yet he continues to rearrange each song, breathing an individuality into each and every one.
Mark has never tired to create a brand new masterpieces. Amazing creativity and genial performance as usual. Best wishes to him. One day we're waiting him in Armenia.
@hoarse01 Mark mentioned many times how those years in Glasgow and then in New Castle has a profound affect on his writing ,,, esp as he gets older and become that much more reflective.
This is a really good song. Strong Melody and the pipes/flute create a nice sailing atmosphere. Looking forward to the studio recording of it with more distinguishable words and vocals.
