Dire Straits - On Every Street + lyrics

[ondrasheq21]

I believe in Dire Straits reunion, I want to hear this live.

[cjellwood]

I OD'ed to this 20 years ago, it saved and changed my life.

[Fusionmanyy]

This song brings back ALOT of memory's

[missttamttam]

Best music band ever ... ! Thanxs for all Dire Straits !!!

[Gioagla]

here are true feelings ...slowly gone from human kind .. but not from all of us ..thnx Dire Straits ...

[medicdeano]

to my ex- always remember you elaine x

[8qwertzui]

Rolled a transit van to this song, it was still playing afterwards, thought i,d gone to heaven!

[deniskhad]

the best song ever!!!

[rallyeluke]

brings me to tears every single time without fail. remember my parents playing this album around 1991 iirc and always made me cry back then lol

[greenwich1754]

@rallyeluke You remember your parents playing this song - how old are you? I guess time is slipping away from me quicker than I'd like to admit, as this album came out during a year i was unemployed, so it sticks out in my mind. Kinda don't get the "made me cry/lol" comment. When I cry, I usually don't Lol!

[rallyeluke]

@greenwich1754 28 years olds... I feel old myself ;( only seems like yesterday I was ayoung boy listening to my parents playing dire straits.

[fedner31]

Love Dire Straits!

[Z3NBEAT]

There's gotta be a record of you someplace...

[MrBod40]

Heartful song xxx

[mikwar1000]

real..nice..



[denisdrummer75]

Jeff Porcaro rules :-p

[azapro911]

I agree with the assertion that On Every Street should have been a little better than it was. Perhaps a little too understated for its own good. I don't think anyone realistically expected it to surpass or even match the runaway success of Brothers in Arms, but the gap should have been a lot closer than it was. Nevertheless, there are some great swansong moments for Dire Straits on the album and this is one of them.

[BADAMSBABE]

It's kinda awesome if you hit the "snow button" at 2:51 . . .

[missbizzybodie]

beautiful,yet so simple this is the ultimate minimalist song

[ThomasFrenchZagreb]

So wonderful and AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!



[platter1000]

i emailed this to myself just so i wouldn't forget

[edjparrott]

Best song on this album ... on every street always lost out in comparison to Brothers in Arms ... but how could you beat that album ...

[PaulC39]

@edjparrott You're right!

[ThomDemon]

possibly the best song ever made

[RUSHFAN1A]

Mark earns his pay on this one.He is one of the best Guitar players out there.

[skiddy888]

another killer knopfer riff that can be listened too until tomorrow comes around again

[asitakka]

I´m loocking for song like this, on every streeth

[bashinmybishop]

One of the best tunes from this brilliant band

[liquidgee13]

If I ever make a film about Satan, this song will be in it. I'd be looking for the Devil's face on every street, the sacred and the profane.

[adrianpeterjohn]

why  aye man,,,,

[Boussaty]

unique

[patatuffa]

I don't know why it is I'm still on the case

It's a ravenous town

And you still refuse to be traced

Seems to me such a waste

And every victory has a taste that's bittersweet

And it's your face I'm looking for on every street...

[SacredWhisper1]

Beautiful lyrics, beautiful guitaring, sheer melody, Dire Straits rocks

[Ovi22]

where is the lyriks/??????????????

[roxolagszefside]

@Ovi22 discrption lol

[lilmsschmidty]

HHHAAAAHAHAHAH LOL

[Arrested101]

Driving at night with the guitar riff playing is sheer bliss!

[steffeonthetube]

@Arrested101 Love to listen to this song, when driving at night.. :)

[gunnerthedenmark]

@Arrested101 is it why you got the name? :-P, driving to fast, nah im messing whit you, know what you mean mate, cheers from denmark

[GoldenS0ldier]

is a genious song

[lawnranger73]

a tune of all times

[barbaraannish1]

I love the way it builds emotionally from sanity and control to a scream. 

[raywise]

@barbaraannish1

Pure genius these guys, been a long time since I have seen them live though. I nearly blow my speakers listening to this song, you just CANNOT listen to it at low volume! My neighbours hate me, lol.

[adrianpeterjohn]

what a greattrack and it brings you that punch from knoffler who has a knock out one every time hes playin as he does great man

[askeys83]

This reminds me of my dear Dad who died 3 weeks ago. Love you Dad x

[Giampymike]

Pura Goduria !!! indimenticabili ed inimitabili Dire Straits . Mark Knopfler , uno dei migliori musicisti viventi

[MrOmG666]

xrhsto tn pairneis apo kwlo :D

[sophtheloaf28]

The guitar riff...the solo...oh. Gets me every time.

[MrKeymannn]

my tears with this song forever

[yeashas]

OH WHY DID THEY BREAK UP????????

[dixonite]

@yeashas ....I loved D.S. too however, as long as Mark Knopfler is still around, making music, releasing CD's, and playing live, it's all good....at least in my opinion!

[djapanaa]

music speaks

[redsfanstu]

As of 9-21-11, no dislikes, and quite rightly so! A great song, but what do you expect, after all, it's a Mark Knopfler song!

[ceekay1952]

@redsfanstu

Thanks for the share Red :) Mark Knopfler...I just sent you a song by him too!

[catomember]

I think about someone looking for a loved one who died on 9/11 whenever I hear this song...and the pictures of all the missing people put up all around the trade center site.

[Jeannified]

Bes Dire Straits song ever!

[americathinks1]

music is how you interperut it. everyone see their own story. this song made me find christ, laugh if you will, I dont care. This is the most beautiful song I know. Angelic if you will.

[TheZayebal]

Great lyrics and haunitng music-simply masterpieace

[mauramcfly]

thank you SOOOO much for sharing all these videos! LOVE dire straits!!!

[funkeytoad08]

It's a song about my 1st true love for me. All these years later I am still looking for her face on every street. I have heard it said that a man never looses it for his first love and I can account for it's truth. I always think of her when I listen to this.

[vignetique]

Dislike button is not needed here...

[Kieran84ire]

Everytime I listen to this song, I always imagine the voice of a Private Detective, somebody haunted by an ugly and inescapable past, somebody who has been given the hopeless mission of finding somebody who either does not want to be found or will never be found, because they are dead. The Detective feels the loss as if it were his own, because he has lost to. He knows it only too well. 

[abhisumat]

Through the years I've never known what to say when asked "what is your favourite song?". Well, now I know what I've been searching for. "Pleasure and pain", extremely beautiful and sad at the same time - genuine masterpiece!

[CThunderFan]

The saddest and yet most beautiful song ever! Brings on too many memories.

[MrMorganfarts]

This, Money for Nothing, Sultans and Your Latest Trick, easily the best songs of all time. I'm 14 and I listen to Dire Straits every second i can get. Most kids my age like Lady Gaga and Justin Beiber and stuff but i just turn my IPod to this and crank it. If you agree with what I'm saying or if your 14/15 and you like this song, thumbs up

[thefirstchampster]

They don't make music like this anymore. Such a shame.

[MorganHillChristine]

who's better than Mark!?? no one.

[libertybuddy2]

best music ever

[taviluci]

for sure, this song was written in a summer night... this is the sound of a summer night!!!

[bodhiganguly]

A song makes you remember old love whom you have forgotten

[godivaboy]

@bodhiganguly

Actually, more like a love you can't forget...

[GhostsInMyAttic]

I just got this CD out again and was listening to some songs as I drove around town, I found myself liking this song more now than ever and I wish they would just keep playing on and on.

[boru1982]

Lyrically its gotta be one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. As the solo might imply, dont give up looking bro - you will eventually find her.

[Goynes42]

You can't get a better Strat sound than this. You simply just can't. I get goosebumps every time I hear it.

[hessekoppeiguudewie]

ab 2:51..einfach schön...

[domblet]

there is just no doubt about it you cant not like this song

[DJBelbe]

from 2.5min onwards this is pire bliss!

[BADAMSBABE]

to me this is pleasure and pain, at the same time. love it.

my favorite song of all time.

[fibbsabaddy]

@BADAMSBABE What is this song about please? Great lyrics but wanted more clarity

[PaulC39]

@BADAMSBABE Well said. I have this cd and when I listen to this song is takes me back to when it came out in the early 90s. Awesome tune!

[odelayvato]

I cry every time I hear this song...

[jonasjar]

even if you enjoy the song you still just sit there and wait for the outro, where the serious play begins. One of the best rock outros in the history of man, amen! If you dont enjoy this tune, go see your shrink!

[ildiscorpions]

@Toni5534 Yes, it is!

[ildiscorpions]

Wonderful song!

[gustronful]

algo que te eleva , geniales , sin mas

[chrisjewett63]

beautiful....JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!!! love it!  Cj

[akajk1]

ABSOLUTELY! i rescued this young gal from the streets who had been "turned out" and every time i hear this tune, i think of her. hope it worked out for her!!!!!! dangit!

[Tyrfingr]

@akajk1 Good job man, respect.

[markillingworth1972]

this should have over 1million views!!!!!

[1959billyshears]

what a talent...makes you think about things

[risingforce121]

the greatest dire straits and probably the greatest rock song ... havent heard a better outro to a song than this

[dtennow]

@risingforce121 Great outro. I also like the outro on Where Do You Think You're Going

[chrisjewett63]

@risingforce121 yes my friend, this is badass,cant think of another ending quite so beautiful...... Cj

[KGBfbiSECUpolitia]

2:15 -every victory has a taste of BitterSweet - ?!

I hope 1 enemy of mine is celebrating/gloating as he won by Forging"evidence" . Madonna did the BitterSweet thing too! What song did Mark bang on about - thePleasure and thePain- in ?

[rocco7050]

@KGBfbiSECUpolitia Dude u must be so freaking high!!

[Actuallysalemslot]

By the way, one of the best sounds around. You should leave it to the British when it comes excellent songwriting...Dire Straits, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, James, Blur, Radiohead...oh they are magnificient and endless

[Actuallysalemslot]

In my opinion, this is much much much better than the mega-selling Brothers in Arms, which includes one of most sleep-inducing songs of Money for Nothing. I used to dislike Dire Straits before this album because they sounded so "artificial" so "soulless" (except for Sultans of Swing) but this album is...a masterpiece...

[MrTiborBuza]

It is a real miracle how people can be able to write a song like this. How it is getting stronger and stronger from the middle part. It is wonderful

[bugenvil]

Одна из лучших песен Марка...

[MrThunderbird1111]

where are lyrics??????????????

[dusp2k]

@MrThunderbird1111

In the full description?

[me111on]

...Wow...

[klutz94306]

what a beautiful song love the build up at the end.

[mar1kec]

Beautiful song, great!

[TabsHof]

Absolutely my favourite of the Dire Straits...gives me goose bumps everytime I hear it

[somebigviewer]

I seriously get chills when the guitar part starts

[askdhuwuw]

I wish this song could go on forever. 

[axon1989]

more thumbs up !! :D

[raithrover1976]

I got the Dire Straits chord book for christmas, so I'm sitting here going through the songs on Youtube with my Telecaster on my lap.  This and "The Man's Too Strong" are my two favourites to play just now.

[jonasjar]

@raithrover1976 beware of the normal chord books! I have the ones of Brother in arms and on every street (i.e same cover as the records) and they are just crap. If you really want to delve into the guitar style then there's probably no better source than "the official guitar styles of mark knopfler" Vol 1 & 2 by wise publications. Its damn good! The only downside it only covers a selection of songs and not the later ones.

[risingforce121]

0 dislikes for obvious reasons ... what a masterpiece! .. Im sure God turns on his FM to enjoy this .. greatest ever song

[LJay54]

i played this song over and over when i was kid!

[KingSams0n]

@LJay54

yap, me too.

Always heard the song unbeware of what it was as a baby/very young kid, then finally came into the age where you are interested in music ( about 7-8 years) and one day heard this song when my dad was playing it on his Infinitys...directly knew that song, and it never stopped touching me...again and again.

[sorocus]

I can't decide on my favourite song from dire straits...

[waynach01]

GOOD SONG TO SHARE WITH EACH

[glv80]

I always thought of this as kind of a sequel to Private Investigations. Might even be better than that song.

[daneilook]

My favorite part- from 2:50 and till the end.

[arturoewallis]

@daneilook , Absolutely..!

[MrNotbadyou]

I'm sure we've all had one face we were looking for on every street, and still do. This album is not the masterpiece Brothers in Arms was, but it still suffices as a great album to listen to. Not too many weak points on it, and this is the best song off of it.

[arabproud]

I wish there was more decent, entertaining and meaningful music like this one around!!

[arabproud]

I wish there was more decent, entertaining, and uplifting music around!!

[JNblok61newprofil2]

My dad had this cd, so i use to listen to this song bout 10, 15 times a day, almost every day, back when i was a kid :)

Great song, amazing, mind blowing...

[TillProudneck]

@JNblok61newprofil2 Me to! :)

[hollyesque]

[Banister306]

great song, super :)

[tradecraft46]

Homocide Life on the Streets used this song well, in the TV series. It is very Baltimore/Wash.

[dayzsrfine]

this is one of the greatest ever!..will def blow your face off-have ALWAYS loved this song and album

[Evangelia3fly]

...just a fingerprint follower...magnificent!!!

[TheGoodOperative]

[Krypto282]

This is easily my favourite Dire Straits song
