  • Insert Generic RIP. I swear if you put every RIP on youtube in the world would have died 10 times over....

    Great song tho

  • Classic !!

    

  • my and my boyfriend those days, were sitting in front of the pc, looking for music to play and suddenly this song that i love so much came up, i just grabbed his face and started to kiss him... he tried to stop me, as he had work to finish yet, but i told him :"please let me have this song and you for just once" best six minutes ever...

  • whats the name of the GUY IN PINK ''ROMEO''?

  • 1:26 Widescreen :D

  • i wish girls still danced like that

  • best lyrics ever

  • Tunnel of love, Romeo and Juliet, Skateaway, all have these literal videos, but i love them

  • 38people are afraid to admit that they've cried on this...

  • I cried when I saw this song live with a girlfriend many many years ago, she was worse though! Never heard such emotion in a voice as when knopfler sang it seemingly to only us that day.

    Happy valentines anyway.

    RIP Charlotte, you were my true love in this world and I still think of you every day.

  • @MrMolova you sir, have my eternal respect.

  • @MrMolova awww i cried reading this post but ohhhh what a moment you had and by the sounds of it what an incredible memory

  • It is Valentine's Day here in Brisbane, Australia, song popped into my head this morning haven't been able to stop singing it 

  • One of my fav.....

  • One of my fav.....

  • I love these times, the video sucks, and the artists arn't "pretty boys", but damn they could sing/play/write!

  • Nick Diaz is seriously depressed.... FTW

  • It captures the actual play very well. Though I don't know how. The video is minimalist, but lacking in something. Nonetheless, I'm crying purple puddles.

  • what's the name of the girl dancing at the end?

  • This vid immediately shoots to 600k views upon Diaz's liking

  • shit video

  • ...the tender side of Nike Diaz, what the fuck? :)

  • 4:48 is absolutely brilliant, I guess god is proud of mark !

  • Comment removed

  • I love this song.. I have so many memories of it..x

  • They played the theatre at the LSU Student Union on this tour...WOW!

  • The video could have been of a rock on the ground, it wouldn't make the song less than fucking amazing.

  • I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you <3

  • the best !

  • Dire Straits.... No more Coments!!

  • One of the foremost rock bands in the world, when they were going. But hey, Mark Knoffler is still going; he's done alot of great shit of late. Rock and roll ain't dead...or maybe it is.

  • oh my god. This is one of my favorite songs of all time, and I'd never seen the video. And now I can't UN-see it. Which I really wish I could. Terrible.

  • the song is absolutely beautiful but the video is just so not fitting. I actyually started laughing. The mnoney for nothing video was a little bit better, but you have to consider that 3D computer graphics was a very new phenomenon indeed back then

  • 2:10 lold at that face

  • One of the very few songs that I could listen to a million times over and never get bored. Simply beautiful.

  • This song makes me sad but i love the feeling. Cant stop listening to it.

  • Even the toughest among men are allowed to cry to this.

  • Lovely song. Believe it or not, the first time I heard this was the Indigo Girls covering it live. Their version is quite beautiful, too.

  • One of the loveliest songs I've ever heard...

  • Don't make them like this anymore =*[

  • The first song I heard of them. Great band! :)

  • that romeo guy in this video looks like U2,s bass player lol.

  • best dire staits song ever!

  • love this song..it makes me wanna cry almost

  • @1xoxoKatieBugxoxo1 Always makes me want to cry, not just almost....

  • °<3°

  • wot bloody crackin tunage!!!wendy from wales

  • Aaaah the 80's... when girls had all of their hair everywhere up and down...

  • That's the 9th time I've hit the Replay button, it must be getting pretty sick of it now, atleast I'm not :D

  • this is one of my favourite songs...........never stop listening this...

  • My favourite song of all time, never get bored of it. The guitar riff is something else and the outro to the song gets me every time.

  • every time that i listen to this song,i can't stop my tears.it's so good,dammit... :'(

  • Such a beautiful love's been planted in my heart, growing to be fresh and exciting..

  • memory lane for sure! :)

  • 2:53 And that's how it started...

  • Simply Awesome,,,,

  • great song

  • Ron Paul 2012

  • This video is why I would rather be blind than deaf.

  • I grew up in the 80s. I really like this song, used to have the CD, but whoever it was that said it is right. This video is some cheesy shit.

  • A lovestruck Romeo...

  • This song reminds me of somebody who I was completely in love with back in 1981 - Damn I have never forgotten you...

  • the live version is even better than this, in my opinion :)

  • I prefer good music and no videos to shitty mtv.

  • i love you like the stars above,i'll love 'till i die............

  • es la canción de amor perfecta!!!! ^w^

  • @odysatk i think you were dropped on your head at birth. I know you are gunna say i am wrong but i am a massive fan of the dire straits :P

  • Me encanta me acuerdo cuando escuchaba esta cancion en un disco de vinilo ummmmmmmmm romeo y julieta

  • ohh men i just love the video....the song is knopfler nothing to say about the music,just listen.

  • 31 people deserve to die for not recognizing the good music

  • xcellent!

  • Despite the tech woes in the 80's, this video sure does fail he song

  • looks like 28 people are suffering from Bieber Fever :P

  • 0.50 David Walliams???

  • Video so good.

  • I've listened to this song for decades without having seen the video...Too funny & so 80's.  The song is still timeless and beautiful!

  • they look like my parents...

  • I didn't actually mind the video considering it's so old. It's pretty damned corny though :P

  • @kmanns1

    you are a tool

  • Sorry the '80's couldn't provide you with the video tech. is needed for your "War of Warcraft" image! If it wasn't for these "old" videos, you wouldn't have the pleasure of living in Mom's basement & paying D & D forever, waiting for BK to call you back to work. Just a great song, videos were new then. Just try to enjoy the music and stop judging.

  • @dagwoodveg "world of warcraft" dont insult our generations games, its not as if your generation never played these games either.

  • @dagwoodveg Not sorry at all the 80's couldnt provide the video, the music is enough. Today they may have good video but the music sucks big time. By the way if mymemory serves me correct this was a 70's song! Dire Straights started in 71-2 but never had big hits till the 80's.

  • @jhpowlton 'from their album "Making Movies", released in 1980.'

  • @dagwoodveg agreed, and honestly this is one of the best music videos ive ever seen compared to todays trash

  • @dagwoodveg thats a lil intuling cuz i play wow but i play this songs all day while playing xD

  • @dagwoodveg thankyou it's a great song and you honestly took the words out of my mouth there should be more people like you and less like the remedials that judge music that beats all this modern crap by miles and without this todays technnolegy would'nt even exist and it would be back to square 1, so thankyou!!!!!!

  • @dagwoodveg I totally agree with you but you should know it's WORLD of warcraft and lemme tell you, WoW graphics leave a whole lot to be desired.

  • @dagwoodveg B-R-A-V-O.

  • this video is so 80's. I love it

  • just beautiful ..!

  • What a fucking amazing song

  • @billllllyyyyyy1 You are really a big bieber fan lol

  • Naffest video ever but man alive...just words cannot describe how heartbreaking and beautiful this is

  • glycerin tears! llllovvvvesss! :-)

  • Great music, glad I remembered to look it up.

  • they could of got a better romeo, what a mong

  • Such a romantic song and one of their best.  :-0 :-)

  • I can't believe they used this video :( Fantastic band though. They didn't need videos to sell their songs. They sold on their own merit. I could imagine a great video for this and could do it myself.

  • Los que le dieron no me gusta es porque sus dados no estaban truqueados!

  • "when we made love you used to cry"? They ain't doing it right! Great song <3

  • wonderful song for wondermul memories!!!!!

  • this video screwed up this FANTASTIC song!!

  • This song reminds me of old times. Watching the cars go by my house. I was five and had never seen the snow. The cars didn't help. No snow on them. But I learned the different types of cars. Today I drive a bike; Mongoose; Good bike to drive, after a war.

    This song is good. I had a cat named Romumbus, so I can relate. Romumbus and me did everything together. My homework sucked because he was dyslexec. Or blind ...

  • @bjoggster1 cool story bro

  • Don't understand why everyone's complaining 'bout the video; I mean, y'all love the 80's songs, but think their video's are shitty. Well, I think they're charming !

    It represents the style, it represents how it was back then. Gotta love it, I think.

  • "I can't do everything, but I'll do anything for you. Can't do anything 'cept be in love with you." I want to tell someone that; I don't think he'll believe me...

  • Is it just me that kinda liked this video?

  • @walter93m no

  • Je dédie cette chanson a celle qui nous a quittée ce soir.

    Ma dess, repose en paix. Je ne t'oublierai jamais ...

  • The video reminds me of Hypercube, But i love this song :)

  • Amazing song. Never gets old. Love it.

  • you and me babe how about it, do you thnk that lines ever worked,lol

  • They played this video all the time when MTV first came out.

  • this has 2 be one of the best songs ever made

  • @specstorm but not many of them are songs like this from that long ago. what a stupid thing to say... if you don't like what i say why would you reply

  • beatufiul and i also like the video very much

    

  • Beautiful song, horrible video.

  • they must of been in dire straits if they were reduced to this video but great song <3

  • What an AWFUL music video.

  • nie jesteście w stanie ogrnąć :P

  • ESTA CANCION ES LA CANCION DE MARIA JOSE VILCHEZ...AUN TE ECHO DE MENOS....RECUERDO CUANDO LA BAILABAMOS EN EL CLUB ENEAGONO.ADIOS CIELO...

  • 27 losers ;))))))

  • this song was released 31 years ago and is still being talked about on the internet

  • @fitzycf what a stupid thing to say... there are many many things that people are talking about on the internet.

  • Ah, I remember having a role in a play of Romeo and Juliet. This song was also used. I have such fond memories of that time, this song takes me right back to it :D

  • @semalau11 Yet this is the original and The Killers' are a cover. Get outta here and stick to your legendary MTV born bands.

  • Anyone who says that Killers cover is better than the original is automatically dead to me.

  • My favourite ever song, beautiful lyrics, reminds me of someone from long ago ...

  • this video remember me the only woman that I really loved..... and now,,,,,, she's gone

  • @manchanegrarspoa

    everyone feels like that mate, just try to remember the good times.

  • @manchanegrarspoa oh, don't worry, I've been there, you'll find another woman you love even more :)

  • @Theteddyballgame15

    Good joke , bro

  • The 80s aesthetic in the vid = perfect...+ of course the masterpiece of Dire Strait's beautiful song.
