    Many years ago, I was a high school teacher in a very small town. We were going over World War 1. I played this song on the final day of the unit. Normally the class was loud and chatty - just like normal sophomores. I remember that I had a teacher's aide, a very nice woman in her 30's who was very interested in this era and my approach to teaching this. At the end of the song, you could have heard a pin drop in the class. Dead quiet. The aide had tears streaming down her face. I will never forget this. War is a terrible thing in the human condition. This song brings that to light. Thank you.

      Firstly, don’t take this as a rebuttal of how you and everyone (mostly) view the song. I come from a Quaker family and my grandfather was a conscientious objector on an ambulance train during WW1. His only regret? Not being a combatant in the war…. As Quakers we absorb the blame for not volunteering (and ignore) doesn’t matter it’s a conscious decision. The regret my grandfather had is different and challenging to reconcile with today’s narrative. Nonetheless, I still feel in a conscious, and probably subconscious way, that his view albeit without context has merit. In biblical terms turn the other other cheek until your fellow humans suffer disproportionately as a result.

      It's the economy of movement that sets him apart, he can still put so much emotion into his playing with so little apparent effort. You see other guitarist try to play like this and their bends and vibrato send the guitar stock all over the place, his guitar barely moves (nor does his right hand). It is truly masterful.

      Raf 3561 this song and his playing has been with me for years especially since the bad days back in the 70s as a soldier in Northern Ireland where this was played at many funerals and still is for many veterans.
      I have been lucky enough to see some of the greatest players ever and only managed to see Mark once, but he is awesome. I missed seeing Stevie Ray Vaughn by a couple of weeks due to his demise and wont bore you with the others but this guy wow

    The sound of his gitar together with his voice give a relaxed and meaningful feeling. Thank you for this Mark Knopler.

    One thing about Mark is that he has kept that incredible voice of his over the years and he's only gotten better and more refined. He is one incredible musician.

      I love this song. Speaks to me deeply. Watched many a flag draped casket carried in my years. Always makes me fight back tears.

      Very nice to see someone still comments on the basic things in few words for a huge amount of bitterness in our world today. Thank you for that.
