Mark Knopfler - Hard Shoulder (''Get Lucky'' Album 2009)

[silkcut59]

its called a rimshot u nob.

[knopfler4live]

@silkcut59 u mean the tapping, if you are, you shouldnt be this offensive.

[warning2006]

Some may compare him to other guitarists, not fare for them... I prefer compare him to John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Brian Wilson... genius... so much more beyond his incredible guitar...

[GeorgeTel100]

@warning2006 Is Brian Wilson truly a genius? or just very talented?...

[GeorgeTel100]

@warning2006 But you're making a great point!! That's the ONLY appropriate comparison - to other great songwriters, not just guitar players

[warning2006]

@GeorgeTel100 I think so. Have you ever listened to Pet Sounds? Incredible CD. But anyway you got my point.

[coys77]

Yet another great song from possibly his best solo album...

[memartinezf]

Con los años va superándose, lo cual parece increible, pues parte de muy alto... Deliciosa voz quebrada y, magníficos acordes.

[faradyeva]

His voice is getting better and better.

[crossEyedMary69]

@faradyeva Cannot understand how is possible - his voice is still satin - velvet fine. Simply sound smooching.

[steppand]

lovely song from Mark

[pat77500]

Magic MARK !

[garbielson]

Thanks God it is possible to play great, beautiful music nowadays. Thank you Mark !!! for me You are the best guitarist on the world.

[wysiwygmol]

Nice song shame about the annoying tapping

[knopfler4live]

@wysiwygmol I noticed it after your post. :P

[KKOPPI]

@knopfler4live

what tapping?

[humbleradio]

@wysiwygmol Oh shoot! Me too. I wish I didn't read your post! ;) lol.

[206151]

@wysiwygmol u retard.. thats part of the drums.. jus get out of here..

[wysiwygmol]

@206151 I would rather keep my comments to the videos and not be drawn into playground arguments by someone who I believe is cantankerous and irreverent and could do with a bit of joie de vivre. I am sorry if you have been offended in any way whatsoever by my comment on someone elses video, you may have the last word as i will not be replying to any future comments from you.

[FoardenotFord]

Awesome lyrics, and I love the strings.

[keymanwv]

hey mark, don't let the sun catch you cryin! Really, i miss music being written like this - its really refreshing!

[raf29144]

Perfect song...Absolutely beautiful.

[bigseer]

This song reminds of Phil Lynott doing Old Town .

[zatzi87]

seen him live a few days ago! very cool, calming, great!

[JoschisMama]

mensch,der " alte Sack" ( lieb gemeint ) ist so genial...ich freue mich so auf ihn am 7.6. in Frankfurt....

[Emina90s]

@JoschisMama - will auch! :(

:/ :)

[Cliffs0fDover]

Song is so calming.

[Bastrixm]

Mark approaches the layers of perfection with time... and this album is a master peace! I also got my "ticket to heaven" : April 30th, 8 p.m., Montreal ;-)

[k1107963]

He's coming to Montreal in April and I've got my ticket. I can't wait. Mark Knopfler kicks ass!

[Roy1111111111111111]

Mark Knopfler es el MEJORRR SIN DUDA!!!

He's the best in the world!!!

[ivolimbo]

To evaluate how briliant is this guy, you just have to notice that his youtube vids are only great rated, and nobody argues commenting them, because only intelligent people can listen to such a well done music.

See you in madrid god knopfler

saludos desde barcelona

[dergrossen]

@ivolimbo nah you don't need to be intelligent...maybe over 35 years old thats all.

[ivolimbo]

@dergrossen That could be true, but I am 23 and it's been a long time I adore knopfler... but I know it is not "usual", youth people today has other idols such as drugs or war videogames

[dergrossen]

@ivolimbo Yes..MK always has made sophisticated music and I guess at the age of 23 I felt like you when I first heard the music. Guy Fletcher, key board player with MK, has a website called Dr Fletch where he writes a diary of all the events. I agree with you in many ways..the only way you got connected with this music was through free sites like this. The music industry is currently trying to ban sites like this..go read the diaries.

[burt2800]

@ivolimbo I wouldn't say that. The Idols of today are rather being famous and having an expensive handbag. I'd say drugs are are just a side-effect and war videogames are, to me, just games. You don't really think you're killing people, it's just about the skill. Still, Mark's a genius, there's no way about that!

[eric6823]

@dergrossen you dont need to be either im only 17 not that smart either but i still really like MK's music along with many forms of metal, so in the end its just the melody's the tones of the music and how we hear them not how smart or old we are.

[dergrossen]

@eric6823 The lyrics too...they say that Bob Dylan was the big thing but he was no where near as good as MK. I can take my self back 40 years Erik and I think you are a little way ahead of me....you are not dumb.

[PhukIT1865]

good is relative. as they say...to each his own...

i am not a big fan of BD but he was one of America's best poets, a voice when this country really needed to hear the truth.

Mark is...well...MARK. and he is amazing too.

[dergrossen]

@PhukIT1865 The only song from Bob Dylan that ever struck a spark with me was Mr Tamborine man.

[jackmuscadmium]

@eric6823

Amen, brother.

[AbraxasMcAndrews]

My very favorite of this CD!

[camiilo87]

I still have that old radio cassette my father gave me when i was 6. Its Dire Straits "Brothers In Arms" . Maybe someday i will give "Get Lucky" CD to my son?

[malpo11]

@camiilo87 it will be an amazing present....u ll see!!!!

[ib009]

MK is better than ever.

[knopfler4live]

one of the songs i really like!

[djmrt1954]

Got it, on this track inparticular, what a great concept................ on the hard shoulder of life...

[ciberamigo2000]

GRANDE MARK!!!! Nunca te mueras!!!!

[RivenChriz]

Ordered the Album today after hearing this song and border reiver. He's just awesome.

[cjwright79]

I like this album but I have no desire to get All The Roadrunning.

[kingtiguer88]

Ole ese spanglish jajaja que tio

really asombroso jajajaja

[Carroll49]

This is the evidence that you can improve on perfection. A MUST BUY. *****

[SpiritLevelBubble]

I'm with you. The chords (Imaj7, IVmaj7 back and forth), the guitar sound (Gretch-like), the horns ...

[stacksovids12]

Just heard this on the Roger Day radio show and was BLOWN AWAY !!! Sat in my chair and drifted into a blissfull melancholia, what an absolutley beautiful song. Such original and poetic lyrics, 99% of the total dross played now on the radio cant hold a candle to this, and will I ever hear it again on the radio? likley NOT.

[razor71]

Iam a Knopfler fan.. So offcourse I buy this album. ;) Great album anyway!

[KNOP49]

he is the best ever and forever

[nowik777]
