why is mark knopfler always sad? he looks like his wife or children just died. He always looks like he doesn't like where he is. I love his music though.
There is something special about Mark Knopfler! It may be the Dylanesque lyrics in his songs or the heartfelt delivery coupled with years of practice and a God given talent, whatever it is, I wish I could do it!
This is the only way that I can promote myself at this time. If you like this artist then you may like my songs too. The latest songs i've written 'Bigger than me' and 'Open' are starting to gain a lot of interest. Thank You, Rob.
sonny knew too much man, just like princess diana. is always the same. it's tragic and like how people are misunderstood, it's so sad that the truth covered up so much in her death as in her life. tragic
Sonny was the best boxer...e couldn't lose agains Ali in that way...obviously Mafia was involved with that match!!! Thanks Mark Knopfler for writing this song :-)
He decided to stay down because of Frankie Carbo's bet. You should have a look at the story of this man, he wasn't an angel surely but e was a real power, he was fast and he also had great skills. I don't know if Sonny is better than the best Ali but, surely better than that Ali.
Knopfler does this tune on his new collaboration with Emmylou Harris. I bought the DVD because of Harris, since I really didn't know Knopfler. I dare say, his performance of this tune on the new album is perhaps the finest guitar/vocal performance I've ever seen. That one cut is worth whatever you pay for the DVD. The DVD is called "Real Live Roadrunning".
il aurait pas du coton dans les oreilles le gars qui a écrit ça? Qu'il essaie de faire tourner un petit riff comme celui-là, aussi apparemment simple, et qui sonne aussi bien que celui-là et qu'il nous récrive pour voir, et d'une s'il y arrive et de deux si ça tourne aussi bien.
Nan il sait même de quoi il parle. La question n'est pas de savoir si je sais le faire ou pas, si le riff est difficile ou pas, mais si il est musicalement intéressant ou non. En tant qu'un des plus grands fans de knopfler, je pense que c'est d'un niveau moyen...mais elle reste sympa à écouter à l'occasion.
moi je trouve ce riff super et convenant très bien à la narration. C'est sans doute moyen au niveau technique mais vraiment top au niveau interprétation.
Y'a rien et y'a tout à la fois. Ça s'explique pas, ça se ressent. Et si on peut parler de génie (faut pas exagérer non plus)c'est dans ce genre de petit truc que Knopler l'exprime le mieux.
