Dire Straits - Private Investigations

[RONNYVONBISMARCK]

Gracias por subir este video, me ha encantado, aunque la razon por la cual me entere de su existencia es por la gimnasta Alina Maksymenko, sin duda es esta clase de musica la que deseo escuchar, y con esto amplio mi busqueda de sonidos particulares y extasiante.

Saludos camarada y sigue asi.

[outformyown]

I prefer the "live" wersion from Brothers in Arms, anyone else?

[Smith8340]

One of the greatest songs I've ever heard. So many of Dire Straits songs are pure genius, but didn't get the recognition they deserved. Love over Gold, Wild West End to name a couple etc. Credit too to the recording & mastering. They didn't stuff up the recording, like so many other CD's have been. This music beats so much of the current day rubbish they play today. Thanks for the upload.

[MrYoutoobisgay]

@ZLKYass its cause Justin Bieber's inspiration was to become famous, the Straits didn;t give a fuck, Knofpler crafted his musical art and transcribed it straight from the soul, not some meaningless whiny shit meshed with a catchy beat to swoon prepubescent teens and

menopausal housewives.

[ZLKYass]

I'm tired of Justin Beiber comments and really don't care about what he's doing coz i don't listen to that kind of shitty music but it's really incomprehensible that Dire stratis & Mark Knofpler aren't famous but Beiber is !

[guitarman7477]

reminds of that damm clown of the movie IT

[KyleTheCat79]

11 deaf people !

[AmbrozijeGrozni]

Gotta make investigation on this 11 people who dislike this.

[kaylizh]

This moves me to tears every time I hear it.

[MrDeleukste]

omg, it can't be better. Sunday afternoon seems suddenly more useful!

[Misshellcat89]

iam dreaming :)

[tijmmmmen]

most beautiful song I've ever heard

[emsky2000posse]

its hard to choose between this song and a Bieber song.... that are the queistions of life,,, i find out when i am wise enough when i am 23 years old...... what do u think???

[TheSebSylvester]

@emsky2000posse Choose this.

[1970serdar]

müzik olarak yapılmış şeylerin en iyisi...

[Wolowitz75]

people who dislike this are retards, how can anyone dislike the dire straits? i'm 19 years old and mark knopfler is my favorite artist. I love the way he's plays his guitar with his banjo technique, he's really so unique and interesting, compare this to justin bieber or lady gaga, as soon i hear them on the television i wanna kill myself lol

[WolfieTed]

Depression strikes again! What a classic, guaranteed to move you one way or another!

[TheLoganMC1]

[SendMeAnAngel09]

@JPH1138 agree :-)

[kuiki123]

[darrellburns]

This is best heard on a good hi-fi system as the bass gets very low,Great Song!!!

[jvhooft]

you could get scared by this

[MrEddiezack]

I saw justin bieber compared with pink floyd and dire straits, saying that last two is depressing music for loosers.. Thumbs up if you think that people who "think" like that are dumb.. :D and considering the number of views of justin bieber, if you agree that wold become generraly dumb..

[MrEddiezack]

I mean comfortably dumb.. :D

[pammypoos1]

OMG Mark Knofler is a genius!!

[911isfunnylol]

Song For My Funeral

[CAIDENROX]

[surfermoffy1]

Sounds so much like the Flight of the Conchords piss take of Bowie XD

[xsellsbrod]

@ HitMeQuick

i ment that i found out what Mark sang about.

This is a real story and it happens everywhere to everybody.

[dean24uk]

i wise man once said... if music labels cant sell you to little teenage kids your not going to be a star, you will be mediocor even though your great at what you do, welcome to the 21st century i hate teen music personaly and it realy should not be posted on videoes that have nothing in common at all but we cant stop the trolls of the world web can we, i just pick out the good from the bad with comments kinda skim read them its one way of dealing with it @heavensseeker1

[hjs480]

Schade das diese Band schon fast wieder vergessen ist.

Ganz großes Kino diese Band!

[Lpsyable]

I ♥  3:00 ...5:55

[wesleyderuiter]

Normally I'm not really into these songs from back in the days, but my father showed this to me and I like it!! It has this kind of mysterious atmosphere, very well done :D

[xsellsbrod]

after 40 years of hard work.... this is my song 8-(

[HitMeQuick]

@xsellsbrod What do you mean? That you were a private investigator for 40 years. OK big shot, where do Ilive then?

[MarantzSt153]

@TheGuitarNL Mee eens!

[frazeralec]

@TheGuitarNL I think this is up there with Pink brick in the wall

[TheSlapFight]

@TheGuitarNL Fuck you. You copied that comment.

[TheGuitarNL]

@TheSlapFight Yep, so what? Can't you read the comment? SHUT UP and enjoy the music.

[TheSlapFight]

@TheGuitarNL You still stole the fucking comment. Go fuck yourself. I hate people like you who are fucking cunts and just copy other peoples comments.

[TheGuitarNL]

@TheSlapFight ok.

[SELFlnsurance]

i'm really starting to think that there is a conspiracy. Why would people upvote comments that blame justin bieber comments. Just saying all this must stop.

(do not +1 this or my purpose will fail)

[iJamesPayton]

@SELFlnsurance hmm, everyone thumbed up your comment :/

[306cabrio16V]

My Dad used to listen to this with me at his side after my parents got divorced... Complete Darkness, just watching the VU-Meters of the Accuphases.....

[Carroll49]

High art at it's best.

[shrimpfarmersunion]

Next year will mark 30 years to this song, and I have yet to hear in popular music anything quite like it in terms of structure, sparseness, and originality.

@gottahavetruth what are you talking about? Typing in all caps doesn't hide the fact that that whole paragrah made no sense, yes those are great bands that you mentioned, but i don't know why you mentioned them, this is about you putting irrelevant comments, talking about someone that has nothing to do with this song, now calm down and stop raging like a little bitch

El mejor sonido despues de Vivaldi y compañía

[jacobo011]

@vitoriano43 Conozes Vivaldi y compania?

[joesophie90]

I respect this band so much, as they donated all their royalties from south africa to amnesty international in the 80s and got banned from south africa for it.

[joesophie90]

CORRECTION: they donated their sth african royalties from their first album of 1979 to amnesty

"In 1979, Dire Straits' first album was no.1 in many countries in the world, including South Africa. When the band donated their South African royalties to Amnesty International, and released a statement condemning apartheid, we were banned by the Government's broadcasting authorithy, a response which Dire Straits regard to this day as a very great compliment.

[EduWestCoastRap]

[sadaa18]

This is life - a private investigation of a mystery

[Kirshach]

This song is like a movie... beautiful, haunting and kind of tragic. Even when I didn't know the translation of the lyrics, I still could see it. That's the power of music.

The piano part at 4:23 is so speaking..

[valearaba]

canzone spettacolare!!!!bravissimi,anc­he se vi conosco da poco....

[p4olom4n4]

this is a flash

[wifflwaffl]

This is the song that got me through my overseas summer school.

[SanyokUKR]

This is awesome!!! Majestic music!

[PetreThePetre]

bah kgb nu mai spune prostii ca pun secu pe tine:))

[pablonted]

KGBfbiSECUpolitia You sound like one helluva lot of an angry person. All I said was that we English DO appreciate Mark Knopfler and co and that there is more to David Bowie than meets the eye. Is that so terrible? Do we have to get into a rant about it all - we all enjoy different music, that's what makes us all who we are.

[KnopflerfanXXL]

This is really a great song!

[dufniouf]

Superbe chanson...

[krishm16]

Beautiful music

Music like this could get u pumped up for some sort of big event

[bijou201]

Heaven, pure heaven! <3

[mahaltony]

MAGIC

[caribou593]

This song makes me cry because it makes me think the world is as sad and as each moment can be the last ... It makes me cry because it reminds me of my feelings, it affects my heart so great ... I'm bewitched and I like to be. Thank you Dire Straits

[pablonted]

Er, sorry KGB but we English have always appreciated talent - Dire Straits have always been hugely popular. And the one you call the androgynous bizarre man sounds to me like David Bowie and if you can't see past his eccentric style to the music underneath then you are really missing something. Try listening to him instead of getting hung up with how he looks, - a man who can reinvent himself and his music and still be as iconic today as he was in the 60s sounds to be doing something right,.

[KGBfbiSECUpolitia]
