Dear Mark, 44 years ago I fell in love with the boy who introduced to me the new /then/ album Communiqué. We got married, because of it. Our son Mark was named after you. Your music was and will always be part of our life.
Эх.. Время никого не щадит. Но подходя к зеркалу понимаю, что это касается и меня самого.. Марк - один из величайших музыкантов нашего времени. Огромное уважение. Здоровья ему и долгих лет жизни💚💚💚🙏🙏🙏
From Sultans in 78 when I first heard him as a 17 y/o, till now with 63 getting close I can't think of anyone I'd rather listen to. He's matured, stays relevant,and always tells great stories with his songs. There are a lot of great musicians, but he's the go to guy, has written about every subject, always interesting, consistently spellbinding.
Found this on RUclips, pulled out my Gresch 6120 and played along with it after about ten minutes. Only four chords in it, E minor scale. He's a past master of making simplicity sound brilliant. He works off of strong melodys, that's his greatest gift.
It's always refreshing to hear straight up rock n roll still being released these days. It's hard to get that timeless feel in today's music. I listen to a lot of new music, but I don't find much that seems like it's going to be played for decades to come.
Am I alone in feeling my blood pressure go down a few points when I hear Mark Knopfler play? Mellow, but not at all boring. Masters at work.....no flash required.
I discovered J.J. Cale through reading a Dire Straits biography - allegedly Mark met John Illsley when John was working at a record store, and Mark was looking for a Cale track that he’d heard where the guitarist did something cool. John (so the book claimed, I never know how much of this is made up) handed Mark a guitar he had been doodling on and asked him to demonstrate. The rest, as they say… Aaaanyway - I spent 40 years since listening to both Mark and J.J. and at some early point was a bit indignant - sometimes it aounded to me like my great hero Knopfler had just imitated this guy. Which is nonsense of course. Just like he did with Chet Atkins, Mark listened, learnt, and used it all to grow his own thing. Nowadays I hear the J.J.-adjacent tracks, and feel blessed to have such musicians in this world (well, one of them no longer alive, but well recorded). I can close my eyes, and not care who is playing - just feel the goosebumps coming up because of the magic that was caught and bottled!
For my money, he's as great a songwriter as anyone in history. Most musicians would rest on their laurels if they composed "money for nothing" and "Romeo and Juliet". He just turns out one brilliant song after another, he's the background music to our lives.
Solche Musik kann man nur machen, wenn man eine gewisse Reife, ein gewisses Alter und entsprechende Lebenserfahrung hat !!! Man merkt das die Musiker mit Leib und Seele diese Musik machen. Ihr könnt sehr stolz auf das sein was ihr da macht.
Born in ‘72, grown with Dire Straits and MK’s music. Can say I’m a lucky man. My son is 19 and also a big fan. Wish i could stop the time so Mark would stay with us forever❤
Born in the year of '74. I was introduced to Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler on the MTV. That's the way you do it. I will be pushing 50 this May. I feel as though modern music seems hollow and disposable. Maybe it is a generational thing. I wish to be entertained with less plastic style and more heavy substance these daze.
My dear, late cousin and best friend, and I reconnected about 7 years ago on FB. It'd been years since we''d seen each other because of family deaths, divorces, etc. Anyway, we were finally going to get together for the first time in 2019 and attend Mark's concert. I can't tell you how excited I was -- both to spend time w/ my dear cousin and to see Mark, Richard, Guy, Danny, etc. on stage. But Susan had to keep reassuring me that Mark wasn't going to die before that -- I was just sure that something would go wrong! But nothing went wrong, and it was glorious! So grateful for that time my cousin and I spent together -- along with our favorite musician. I miss you, Susie! ❤❤🎸🎸
I clearly remember the first time I heard Sultans of Swing. I was in my brother's shop working on my car. I was listening to a local rock station, KZEL 96.1, out of Eugene, Or., when the dj announced a new early-release single they had just got in and claimed that this would be the first time it was heard on the west coast. Guess he knew he had his hands on something special. I dropped whatever I was doing and just listened. Mesmerized. I bought the album the first chance I got... and then I got to hear it on hi-fi. Wow. I have been with Dire Straits and Mark ever since. I particularly enjoy his work with Emmylou, another idol of mine. I will own this new album as soon as I can get it.
@@rayjones9418 Lifechanging, indeed. I had never heard anything like it. And even now, after hearing that song countless times over what... 46 years or so?, it still makes me stop and listen.
75 лет дедушке Марку !!! А голос, мастерство, талант над этим всем время не властно !!! Господи храни этого человека, нам на радость❤❤❤❤❤!!!!! Марк-Великий!
Amazing guys ! Beautiful song ! Thanks so much ! I am so blessed , 40 years later, I can still listen to this Magical Music! Love you MK ! keep shining !😊
Been following Mark Knopfler's career since the very first Dire Straits albums, always loved his music. Love also all of his solo albums, mostly "Tracker", but this last one is maybe the best, after all this years he's still going strong. Thank's Mark for this Masterpiece.
Ветераны рока никогда не перестанут удивлять ! Я наверное никогда не полюблю современных исполнителей . Да , безусловно среди них есть таланты , но что они создали , что переживет их и останется эталоном на десятилетия ? Марк , я люблю вашу музыку 40 лет и она останется в моем сердце до конца ! Спасибо!
There’s talent and then there’s Mark, a true genius. His music lifts and inspires you. We are blessed to have you. Thank you so much for your music, words and memories created. A legend in every way
poor young people, listening to the band/singers the music producers throws at them! back in the day Musicians had to show it for all to see, now they are produced to sound the same overall and have no soul!
And to think Simon Cowell would say this music is not relevant to todays industry, but he still fills stadiums on tour, theres clearly a demand for his music.❤
It's good to see Richard Bennett still on second guitar. One of the most knowledgeable session guitarists in the world. I've been lucky enough to see him play with Mark twice, and it would be great to do so again.
Que gran cancion!!!... me lleva a los 80's cuando aun no conocia a Mark Knopfler y escuchaba todobel dia J.J. Cale...Que grande Knopfler...Gracias por existir.
Sometimes a Song just hits you right away you know!? And that's one of them! Can't stop listening it's so good. The rhythm the flow the bass Marks smooth voice everything blends perfectly together. I want to thank everyone who was involved in creating this beautiful song and video! Thank you very very much! :)
To whoever is listening to this song now, wherever you are.... Sending you love, peace, healing and all good wishes. May your life be good❤
may the force be with you and you get double of your regards!
Back atcha
Von ganzem Herzen zurück!!!
Same to you friend!
Спасибо!
When a guitarist has nothing left to prove about his skills, he plays from the heart and shares his music with others. BIG THANKS
Thats Mark Knopfler
🫡
Как жаль, что он ушёл в чистое Кантри😢
David Gilmore and Mark Knopfler the two guitar players who play with their hearts
Mark had nothing to prove years ago. That he keeps playing and recording proves his love for music, and his enduring greatness as a guitarist.
Dear Mark, 44 years ago I fell in love with the boy who introduced to me the new /then/ album Communiqué. We got married, because of it. Our son Mark was named after you. Your music was and will always be part of our life.
👍👍👍💕💕
THATS A VERY COOL STORY,MARK IS AN GUITAR GOD
How wonderful! That's a great story
BTW, Communique is a fantastic album!
Sehr sehr schön ❤👍🇩🇪
Эх.. Время никого не щадит. Но подходя к зеркалу понимаю, что это касается и меня самого.. Марк - один из величайших музыкантов нашего времени. Огромное уважение. Здоровья ему и долгих лет жизни💚💚💚🙏🙏🙏
🤘👏👍
А возможно и просто величайший
Да, старики. Но музыку играют не стариковскую!
You are right - time spares no one today. But everything will change soon.
@@БУДЕМДОБРЕЕ-ф8р , thank you 🙏
Наш драгоценный Марк... ❤

Вряд ли приедет уже к нам, думаю. Жаль, конечно.
Anyone who doesn’t love this man and his band doesn’t appreciate wonderful music
Такую музыку не любят очень недалёкие , ущербные люди.
Is there any??
I loved him in Dire Straits!
I've never liked him outside of Dire Straits… Too much "cowboy songs" Yahooo!
From Sultans in 78 when I first heard him as a 17 y/o, till now with 63 getting close I can't think of anyone I'd rather listen to. He's matured, stays relevant,and always tells great stories with his songs. There are a lot of great musicians, but he's the go to guy, has written about every subject, always interesting, consistently spellbinding.
🎵👍🏼♥️
No tricks, no complexity, no show-off chops; Knopfler's maintained interest for decades with a pocketful of great new riffs every time.
Sene 1985 - 1986 yılları her gece Dark Side Of The Monn albümü ile yatağı girip uyudum.
@@cemturer6813 Check your work.
Gracias huapa❤🎉
Grasias ojos. Bonitos❤🎉😊

As a 20 year old Turkish guy, I promise you my children will hear a lot of your music at my home in future!
36 yo French, I said the same at 20, my children really love Mark today 🙂
61 год . Русский . 40 Лет назад я поставил своей однолетней дочери Dire Straits .
Это продолжается до сих пор.
47 years the Netherlands, I am and will stay a big fan
Поддерживаю поддерживаю поддерживаю! Солидарен! 😊
Well done.
A song by 75 years old legend, better than the whole contemporary music industry
Agree
Brilliant comment, worthy of a brilliant guitarist and musician.
No, he is part of "the whole contemporary music industry." 😎 😎
Indeed 😍
Seriously
JJ Cale-ish, love it!
I'm completely agree with you
I kept scrolling down looking for a comment about JJ Cale. It's almost identical.
Look at them ol geezers! That's the way you do it. You play the geetar on the ol RUclips.
Between them they have half of a millennium of musical genius to fall back on.
get your nuthin for money, as your clicks are free.

Smiling at this comment. Thank you !
Good one
Am I alone in feeling my blood pressure go down a few points when I hear Mark Knopfler play? Mellow, but not at all boring. Masters at work.....no flash required.
Absolutely the best
Mark knopfler is source of music and the guitars.
That’s crazy I actually just check my blood pressure a few minutes before reading this and it was the lowest reading I’ve ever had!!! No lie.
You Should also listen to JJ Cal then brother..😊
Agree! Much like J.J. Cale but with his own style.
Эх, Дедуля.... Продолжай радовать своим Творчеством как можно дольше! Ты Один такой неповторимый и сразу узнаваемый! Марк Здравия!!!
И всё же смею возразить. Крис Ри из этой плеяды. По мне так ,оба хороши !!
Марк офигенен, шикарен, талантище!
and that is how its done. no drum sets upside down no twenty minutes of shredding that means nothing. just true pure talent playing music,
Дай Бог Здоровья Марку и вечной жизни, великолепная песня!!!❤❤❤
ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНО !!! ❤❤❤
With you, Mark Knopfler, for the last 45 years. Keep on!! ❤
Mark-the Master-Knopfler; He has simply Marked the History of Music so far....🎸
When Mark Knopfler plays, the world stops to listen. The ones that don't are dead to artistry that rises above the mundane. Keep soaring, Mark.
No amount of wealth on this earth will ever be enough to buy your talents. May you live for many many more years Mark. God bless.❤
Oui que Dieu nous bénisse 👍🇫🇷
Mark meets JJ Cale - what more can you possibly want!? 👍👍🎵🎵🎸🎸
I agree I think it is the drum rhythms. Closed eyes I would've thought a Cale song.
I discovered J.J. Cale through reading a Dire Straits biography - allegedly Mark met John Illsley when John was working at a record store, and Mark was looking for a Cale track that he’d heard where the guitarist did something cool. John (so the book claimed, I never know how much of this is made up) handed Mark a guitar he had been doodling on and asked him to demonstrate. The rest, as they say… Aaaanyway - I spent 40 years since listening to both Mark and J.J. and at some early point was a bit indignant - sometimes it aounded to me like my great hero Knopfler had just imitated this guy. Which is nonsense of course. Just like he did with Chet Atkins, Mark listened, learnt, and used it all to grow his own thing.
Nowadays I hear the J.J.-adjacent tracks, and feel blessed to have such musicians in this world (well, one of them no longer alive, but well recorded). I can close my eyes, and not care who is playing - just feel the goosebumps coming up because of the magic that was caught and bottled!
Yep. That’s and the doubling of the voices. Good stuff.
I was thinking the exact thing, this is awesome
Yeah, there is a ghost of JJ over here ❤
And, ladyes and gentleman, this is MUSIC!!
Mark Knopfler is leading those rare voices and vocalists who is more mature as he ages, but still youthful and touching. God bless!
For my money, he's as great a songwriter as anyone in history. Most musicians would rest on their laurels if they composed "money for nothing" and "Romeo and Juliet". He just turns out one brilliant song after another, he's the background music to our lives.
We love you and your hands, Mark (from Spain) ❤❤❤
Great..great..great Tune.....
Amigo Mark buen día preciosa tu canción, saludos y abrazos para ti, y tus excelentes músicos, me hacen la vida más agradable❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊

Yeah, we like your becoming to Spain! ✌️😉👍

Best Album of the year for sure..
100 Prozent
Can’t wait till April 12, 5 days from now.
Not really. Same old riffs
No way. Not even close
@@fredstrehlow511 wow,what a killjoy😂 that exactly what we want with mark knopflet,i think youv'e missed the point somehow😮
Mark Knopfler and J.J.Cale, they're my favourite musicians! Welcome to Spain, dear Mark!🙋♂️
Absolut 😊
🎶👌
Solche Musik kann man nur machen, wenn man eine gewisse Reife, ein gewisses Alter und entsprechende Lebenserfahrung hat !!!

So good to read this! Such a similarity in the story with me and my daughter...give and take a few years here and there, as I'm 66 born.
his music is one of the most beautiful things we can pass down to new generations

Время не властно над его голосом и талантом! Респект! Здоровья и творческого долголетия!!!
So relaxed, so gentle, so pure, so good! Just keep on playing Mark Knopfler.

C est magnifique comme toujours Mark Knopfler ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Treffender kann man es kaum sagen.

Wie ein guter Wein, der mit den Jahren immer besser wird.
You know a song is great when you enjoy the first time you hear it💯
Pure genius. Virtuoso musicians performing at their magical best

Массирует сердце и мозги

Hier zeigen die alten Herren erstmal was absolut geile Musik ist!💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🎸😊
When you’re the greatest guitar player of all time, people don’t call you the greatest guitar player of all time, they call you Mark Knopfler
But don't forget that many guitar players are jealous from him.
Couldn't agree more.
AND the best teller of stories too.
I call him JJ Cale!
Талантливейший исполнитель,плюс композитор и гитара.
Уже много лет дарит прекрасную музыку!
The greatest all of time mark knopfler❤🎉

One way to spot masterful songwriting: the music grabs you, meanwhile the musicians make it look easy.
And what about Mark's storytelling? Please don't forget how masterful he is as a narrator. ✍️💯

Нравится, приятно слушать, виртуозно!!! Браво Маэстро!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
einfach nur genial...es gibt nur einen Mark Knopfler👌
There's a certain kind of magic when a bunch of musicians come together like this.
Finally. A new song that's worth listening to. Oh, but wait. It's from a classic rock genius, not a new group. Imagine that.

Just wonderful ❤

Understated mastery and exquisite touch. Mr. Knopfler keeps doing us proud. God bless you and all you love.
Ma quanto quanto quanto sei bravo Mark, le tue note accendono il firmamento 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Very nice. Another great lick. ;)
It's good to see Richard Bennett still on second guitar. One of the most knowledgeable session guitarists in the world. I've been lucky enough to see him play with Mark twice, and it would be great to do so again.

Greatness inundating from every single note.
Wow wow . Wonderful. No hablo inglés, soy de Colombia. I like this song
There are a few artist where their music is so beautiful that it brings tears of joy to my eyes. Mark Knopfler is one of them.
This is such a gem! When this generation goes, no man and no AI will be able to write such beauties.
Continues to perform at the highest level.. Brilliant.. Love the Knoff
This is the real music
Thanks Mark
I'm not sure what Mark infused into this song, but it's incredibly addictive!
What a great groove, marvellous stuff. It's that kind of song you want to play again immediately. So I am.
I've been juggling too. I've got 2 pairs of hands. Mine and God. Amen brother.
a beautiful story about life
One of the best song I’ve heard after ages ❤
Mark.... The great Knopfler
Какая классная песня! Ни разу не слышала. Спасибо
I surely love me some Mark Knopfler! Have for years and years. I’m 80 now and still love me some Knopfler!
Марк, благодарю. Вы молодец. Шикарно.
Sometimes a Song just hits you right away you know!? And that's one of them! Can't stop listening it's so good. The rhythm the flow the bass Marks smooth voice everything blends perfectly together. I want to thank everyone who was involved in creating this beautiful song and video! Thank you very very much! :)

Simply the best of all time
I agree, two of my favourites in one song. Knopfler done JJ Cale style can only be a hit.
