  • HOW THE FUCK IS IT POSSIBLE TO DISLIKE THIS VIDEO?!!

  • @Ikkepedia actully... it's a slideshow

  • have a son of 2 mark any chance of lessons

  • You are not Towens VanZandt.

    It better your played your song in Sportdress

  • Incredible song. Some notes so subtle, feels like i'm completing the song with imagination, and what's more the outcome is just awesome.

  • Emozioni e senzazioni che solo un grande uomo ed un artista come Knopfler puo' trasmettere.

  • Hey, how come God playing the guitar looks just like Mark Knopfler???

  • Everytime I hear this song, I think I want to live in United Kingdom...must be a nice country.

    Greetings from Spain.

  • MK paints a better picture than the most skilled painters. A bona fide genius.

  • Absolutely amaZing ... I love this song

  • This song always makes me think about my life and all the the better moments i have spent

    Good music to just relax

  • Vorrei che quest'uomo non inveccchiasse mai che fosse immortale.

  • I always wonder how much overlap there is between Mark Knopfler the man, and some of the characters he creates, the "narrator"s singing the song.

    But at the same time, I can't bring myself to listen to any interviews or read too much biographical material about him.

    I get the feeling I don't really want to know -- that some of the magic might get lost if I knew too much of the reality.

    Can someone pls tell me I'm not the only nutcase who feels this way about his work?

  • smartalek1 , over the years I have sought out any information about Mark that I could find and for me it has only made the magic even more magical. He truely is an amazing person and so is his music.

  • @smartalek1 Funny,.. I've never followed anything else about him for the same reasons I think.. the characters are real people mostly I heard, many lyrics are things that they said

  • 17 people will never get lucky

  • no mark, you're better with your mouth.

  • youtube.com/watch?v=cgCLzlGnY9­I one of the better commercials on TV

    Awesome !!

  • legendary

  • 17 people just came from the casino and lost badly.

  • what is wrong with this song? 17 persons?!

  • 17 persons are not born yet

  • Pure talent.....

  • Mark Knopfler's music mesmerizes me. He's the one & only Mark Knopfler.

  • 17 people don't get it.

  • I've run out of superlatives to describe Mark.

  • 17 guys don't get lucky.

  • He sounds so much like Johnny Cash with this song

  • mark, the greatest guitarist IMHO

  • Knoplfer, you're the best. :))

  • This came on KINK Sunday morning, and when I heard it I was awake and in a good mood all day. Such a great mood in the song.

  • I hope this man lives forever!!!

  • @nastynate1229 He will.

  • @nastynate1229 Don't worry - he drinks about a dozen cups of green tea a day so he probably will :-)

  • @nastynate1229 amen!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @nastynate1229  he will

  • @nastynate1229

    I agree wholeheartedly. A world with no MK and his music would be severely diminshed. So influential on my life.....

  • @nastynate1229

    his music will!

    

  • Super Song!!!

  • If you like Mark's musical atmosphere and guitar playing, check out another wonderful haunting atmosphere in the work of guitar genius Bill Frisell - try "The Disfarmer Project" on You Tube. I hear - and see - a lot of Mark's musical Americana in that piece. It's a wonderful journey, like Mark's work!

  • Love MK's singing and playing, but what I like most about his songs is that they are all narrative gems - Mark is telling a story in all of them, and they all have different characters in different situations - Mark never resorts to simplistic old "I love you/you love me" "I don't love you any more / you don't love me any more" clichés. Each song has its own narrative and musical atmosphere. Great musician, great storyteller, and a great guy. Makes me proud that he grew up in Newcastle:-)

  • @twangbarfly He grew up in NEWCASTLE?!?!?! Does that mean he's an alcoholic?

  • @iammentallyretarded Don't be ridiculous - it doesn't matter how much you drink in Newcastle, you are NOT an alcoholic :-) If you don't believe me, go to Newcastle and ask anyone if they know any alcoholics - they'll look at you as though you've just stepped off a spaceship :-) Glasgow to Newcastle - the words "frying pan" and "fire" come to mind.....

  • Magical Flute playing

    its simply Acoustic Magic!!!

  • I'm lucky to cause it's my birthday

  • belle ballade j'aime!

    

  • Love the man! Love his style! It's just Mark being Mark.

  • Uno de los mas grandes

  • Mark in his guitar playing, lyrics, and voice gets better with age. There seems to be no end to his creativity.

  • God he's good.

  • An incredible gift to make a simple tune sound so melodic and tinged with sadness. Anotherf guitar hero of mine Johnny Marr has the same gift but MK is a true story teller and unrivelled in my opinion.

  • incredibly beautiful and calming my soul, thank you mark !

  • i love you domy :)

  • genius

  • Love it :-)

  • Me alegra ver que fiel a su estilo sigue haciendome disfrutar escuchandole

  • Thank you for the amazing concert in Budapest on 4th of July! I think Mark is one of the men teaching us that life can be so much more than just existence! He brings happiness with his music! So perfect! Thanks to him and his team, really dedicated, supertalented people!

  • @orsi321 oh your so lucky. i was dying to go to thiss

  • Grandpa used to say about farming, 'You can't depend on luck. If you want to depend on luck, then you'd better put your back into it every day, and in that way, you make your own luck."

    Peace.

    Rock

  • skål

  • @BonnieGable - He'll do five concerts in Italy this summer, take a look at his website. And to the second question: hopefully not.

  • @DogSwede1 Why don't you want Dire Straits to get back together?

    I'm goin to see Mark tonight in Newcastle. I can't wait!

  • @DogSwede1 MK has several times hinted, that he probably won't reunite the old band. Though, I would probably by anything released by a reformed Dire Straits...

  • Can someone tell me why Mark and CHRIS REA have not collaborated on a album , single or feature documentary. How good would it be that two gravelly voiced Northerners and two great guitar heroes would be together before its too late.....someone arrange it please.

  • @TheMilltowncommunity .. like asking a race horse to run with a donkey..cannot do it without some damage to either one.

  • @TheMilltowncommunity Probably cos Chris Rea not in same league as MK 

  • @TheMilltowncommunity

    Funnily enough Chris Rea did collaborate with David Knopfler!

  • it is so beautiful ;´)

  • Knopfler is one of the "geat" gtr players, who can play in any genre that he chooses. This song puts me in mind of Gordon Lightfoot. I love the Celtic flutes here, as well.

  • This is real in an unreal world and it makes me sad. Who is supposed to continue feeding us with brilliance like this in the future.

  • He might be the best ever. Best in Dire Straits, best solo. Looking forward seeing him in Dublin 19th of may!

  • if youve got a truffle dog you can go truffling.

  • @leesard17  love it YES

  • Grande mark :D

  • Love this song, always makes me smile, love Mark Knopfer, hes a genius

  • Verdens beste!!!!!!!

  • hope to see him in june, Knopfler is one of a kind!

  • He is like a fine wine seems to keep getting better with age!

  • @Longspeak57 couldent dissagree more.... Dire Straits was the best Mark Knopfler time !

  • belle ballade, grand musicien

  • Great song, great album ¡¡ This music makes life better.

  • LOVE IT !

  • The genius at work again ! Beautiful song, thanks Mark !!

  • WOW those 3 fingers doing their magic again, lovely song

  • mark is defo god,my hero

  • Comment removed

  • I love this music! Mark Knopfler is the best and Dire Straits made the best music

  • i love it

  • i love it i love mark

  • Agreed, really relaxing song:D

  • awesome

  • This is such a relaxing song :)

  • Such a light-hearted song! :D

  • I loved Dire Straits. I love everything Knopfler does.  He's never gotten the recognition he deserves. He's not flamboyant or self-absorbed, just brilliant. There is a quiet dignity to this man. Long live M.K.

  • @claudiabokk9

    Very well said! I am a fan of Mark Knopfler since 1982.
