    I was an 18 year old Marine stationed in Naples Italy in 1985. This song is playing in my mind as I thought of my first love back in New York. I met my wife in Bagnoli italy. 35 years married. The song is haunting.

For someone who went through that phase in say the 60's, that's probably the best music to them now.

    Don't hear this song from these guys too much on the radio, not as much as Sultans of Swing or Money for Nothing, and I think they should play this one more often. I heard it for the first time in a long time today and I forgot how much I love this song. Not saying their other songs are not as good, but this one has a special feel and vibe to it.

    I was deployed to Qatar in 2019 and while I was there I was talking to a girl that was back home in North Carolina. We had never met before, but the sparks were there for sure. One night at work it was quiet so I drifted off for a nap with my ear phones on while listening to a playlist that my buddy shared to me. I woke up halfway through this song and I fell in love with it. I played it over and over again and every lyric made sense to me. It was my anthem for the next 6 months I was out there. Unfortunately things didn't work out with that girl when I got home... that's life, but still I great song that I can relate to.

    That was one of my father's favorite songs and Dire Straits was his favorite band. I didn't born in the 80s but because of him I started to love these songs. I said one day to him that I would love to drive with him while listening to this music, and in 2019 he took me to a car ride during vacation and I put the song on the phone. God, I'll never forget that moment. He died due to covid last year. Ironic, because now he is literally so far away from me, but even when I'm crying to this music again I can feel his presence right next to me every time I play it. Rest in Peace, dad. I miss you so much💔
