- The Trawlerman's Song by Mark Knopfler. For David. To a boy who's 47! How about that. Most Birthday cards have boats and this is no exception. A lot of cards don't however have old men smoking and so this is a bit different and also there is no $5 note. Nice of Bob Franklin to "photo bomb" the clip near the end...not intentional on my part. I think it's a song about life...I had never heard it before. Time in dock isn't always long enough. Have to be ready even though you are not ready. Plenty of rocks and dark nights. One lighthouse. Jesus, The Light of the World. "The Trawlerman"Song"...no one on the internet knows what the exact meaning is behind the lyrics. Perhaps the man is trawling for small treasures in his everyday life with his broken nets and worn out leaking boat. Grasping for the simple things, tiny things and like a little fellow thinking his pebble is the best treasure he has ever found before he puts it on his bedhead. Now I have spoilt the song probably by my cold analysis but trying to marry pictures with lyrics is part of clip making and after listening to the song well over 80 times in the creating of the clip I suppose I am able to have a stab...but maybe Mark Knopfler just likes fishing? Oh Gerry you are terrible!
Anyway better go. Sale of the Century is starting and my meat pie is getting cold. I like a nice meat pie. Enyoy! Hoping you don't have to go swimming lessons today. x
P.S. Have a great day too!
Break out the columbines at aunty ina's. Tony we are rolling into another birthday. David how many sausages can you eat? Mmm anything you need? Here's hoping I haven't stuffed up the song too much by creating images that don't fit with your own interpretation. Get yourself a kebab or something nice hey. x

What a music...my all time favourite ... touches deep in heart..Mark Knopfler is easily best guitarist I have ever listened. pure bliss..seren...uplifting music. Take a bow.
I agree
I agree .....
Tak to prawda .❤
I listened to this gem on loop over a period of 2 years when I lived alone in solitude. I felt such beautiful companionship from this song & its lyrics. Mark Knopfler's voice is pure gold. Closest to my heart. My most favorite song on Earth❤
I am glad. Enjoy listening
Im doing that now!!!!
I hear you
You are seen.
Reminds me of my old fishing buddy. Very soothing music
Klejnot ...........❤
Fantastic video. Knopfler and the beautiful ocean. Doesn’t get any better. Thanks so much!
❤❤❤❤❤ I LOVE YOU, MARK KNOPFLERS,🎸🎼🎶🥁🎼🎶🎤, TOUT..🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍🌹
Mark knopfler,is unique,the master should be knighted.has brought me threw thick and thin in all of my life.old school quite family man and writes and sings songs that mean a lot and gets you by day to day.legend.timally a long follower of this iconic man.
I agree with you
Yes
Christopher Dolan not sure he cares much for that sort of thing
MK is knighted I believe. A great great man that I can relate to so much like we are out of the same mold. I play too but MK's got superior talent and I look up to him as he makes sense of situations we all face at one time or another.
I agree❤❤❤❤
Absolutely perfect. Everything Mark Knopfler does is wonderful
This song is on my favorite list.
Untrennbar mit der Beerdigung unseres Freundes Rolf Bauerdick verbunden. RIP Rolf
Such a beautiful song. Having grown up in a small fishing community, this song brings back memories of watching the boats leaving every year, and makes me cry every time I hear it for those who didn't come back. Beautiful and bittersweet.
I’m sure fishing boats left more than ‘every year’. Probably every few weeks would be more likely.
Thank you only vocals. Been a Bobfan for most of my life. Listen to New Morning every morning.
What a beautiful song Mark ❤❤❤❤
Just beautiful and a wonderful tribute to our hard working fisherfolk…
I love all of Mark's songs and that mellow voice.🎸😍❤️
It's not about art or artist, it's a tribute to ever tirelessly working fisherman, expressed in Mark's narrative vocals. Song, with how differently presented in instrumental version of "Going Home", yet both with the same intention.
A Little politicized, but miningfull, beautiful song.
Thx. Mr. Knopfler 🎸 👌
These combinations of nature videos and Mark's voice are as calming as the waters on it.❤❤❤
Thanks for the message. Enjoy!
With Mark you navigate to Heaven!
Love you Andrew. Gods Grace be with you❤
May God bless you for your kind words to me and journey with you in life's ups and downs. Thanks. Andrew (Australia)
We're taking on the water, diesel and stores
Layin' up awhile before I'm back on board
They're patching her up
To go fishin' again, fishin' again
Weldin' her rudder, scrubbin' her keel
Scars on her belly need time to heal
In the dock
With the trawlermen
I know all the people
There's nobody new
Soon we'll be leavin' with the same old crew
On the greener water
The tumbling sea
They ain't running like the good old days
Time's just slipping down the old slipways
In the dock
So dear to me
Dark is the night
And I need a guiding light to keep me
From founderin' on the rocks
My only prayer
Is just to see you there at the end
Of my wandering back in the dock
I could use a layoff getting my strength back
But there's a loan to pay off and a few skipjack
So it's a turnaround
Back in the southerly wind, southerly wind
Pirates coming in to steal our gold
You can count yourself lucky with a profit in the hold
In the dock
When we come in
Dark is the night
And I need a guiding light to keep me
From founderin' on the rocks
My only prayer
Is just to see you there at the end
Of my wandering back in the dock
Back in the dock
Thank you for that!
Just awesome
So much more poignant... now.. in January on the East Coast of NJ ..off Season in the dead of Winter... January with its cold empty streets... beaches & marinas.. & those empty docks visited with by lonely gulls.
👍💓
Resto sempre incantato 🥰
Such velvet voice caress my ears sweetly...my Idol ❤
Why does this song touch me so deeply?
Yes...has that effect on people...the ups and downs of life painted so well by Mark
I couldn't agree more the Chorus and the lines 'I could use a layoff getting my strength back ,But there's a loan to pay off and a few skipjack
So it's a turnaround Back in the southerly wind, ' helped me through a very lonely time and will always be special.
@@jasonknight7783 I agree with you totally. Nice if the world stopped and let me catch up. Feeling overwhelmed the more I get older it seems. Don't remember this pace in the 80's! Just been sitting with a cup of my wife's herbal night time tea ...something I never do and sitting on the floor with a bible opened...something I used to do better! I know God understands but wish it wasn't so tiring and anxious. Need to slow things down somehow and make time or build time to rest and do nothing without feeling guilt or pressure ...Take care

গানের কথা:
আমরা জল, ডিজেল এবং দোকানে নিচ্ছি
আমি বোর্ডে ফিরে আসার আগে কিছুক্ষণ শুয়ে আছি
তারা তাকে প্যাচ আপ করছি
আবার মাছ ধরতে, আবার মাছ ধরতে
ওয়েল্ডিং 'তার রুডার, স্ক্রাবিন' তার কোল
তার পেটে দাগ সারাতে সময় প্রয়োজন
ডক মধ্যে
ট্রলারওয়ালাদের সাথে
আমি সব মানুষ জানি
নতুন কেউ নেই
শীঘ্রই আমরা একই পুরানো ক্রুদের সাথে চলে যাব
সবুজ জলের উপর
গড়িয়ে পড়া সমুদ্র
তারা ভাল পুরানো দিনের মত চলছে না
সময় শুধু পুরানো স্লিপওয়ে নিচে পিছলে যাচ্ছে
ডক মধ্যে
আমার কাছে তাই প্রিয়
অন্ধকার হল রাত
এবং আমাকে রাখার জন্য আমার একটি পথনির্দেশক আলো দরকার
পাথরের উপর প্রতিষ্ঠাতা থেকে
আমার একমাত্র প্রার্থনা
শুধু শেষ সেখানে দেখা করতে হবে
ডক ফিরে আমার বিচরণ
আমি আমার শক্তি ফিরে পেতে একটি ছাঁটাই ব্যবহার করতে পারে
কিন্তু শোধ করার জন্য একটি ঋণ এবং কয়েকটি স্কিপজ্যাক রয়েছে
তাই এটি একটি পরিবর্তন
দক্ষিণা বাতাসে ফিরে, দক্ষিণা বাতাস
জলদস্যুরা আমাদের সোনা চুরি করতে আসছে
আপনি হোল্ডে লাভের সাথে নিজেকে ভাগ্যবান গণনা করতে পারেন
ডক মধ্যে
যখন আমরা ভিতরে আসি
অন্ধকার হল রাত
এবং আমাকে রাখার জন্য আমার একটি পথনির্দেশক আলো দরকার
পাথরের উপর প্রতিষ্ঠাতা থেকে
আমার একমাত্র প্রার্থনা
শুধু শেষ সেখানে দেখা করতে হবে
ডক ফিরে আমার বিচরণ
ডক ফিরে
Amazing photography!
Amazing music!
fabulous song. Mark the genius.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Makes me want to restore a boat.
@@greg62945 I agree❤❤❤
It’s rather nostalgic for me. After some decades at sea, albeit mostly on larger vessels, it brings back memories that only beautiful music and images can do..
Music and memories are close. Take care David. Thanks for commenting
The photo of Townsville in North Queensland especially reminded me of time on the trawler sized James Kirby and slightly larger Lady Basten research vessels; special times in the waters of the Great Barrier Reef ⚓️
@@davidh.7138 I'm glad you liked it and the photos of Townsville. Sounds like you have had an interesting life. Take care
Non dimentica nessuno. Stupenda canzone dedicata ai pescatori. Sublime. La sua Chitarra 🎸🎸 li sembra accompagnare nel loro viaggio 😍😍😍😍
I looveini last week and it was my pleasure meeting with me really quick plan on September ininth really good morning rise ready better now wonderlanseer pm my time on December furst at least widaila flue
How does someone write and play such amazing music? On top of that he seems like a down to earth humble guy. I never saw him play unfortunately :(
So, so deceptively simple.
I just don’t know how M.K. does it! He has a gift for creating pictures in my mind that are all set to beautiful melodies.
Ich kann den großartigen Kommentaren eigentlich nichts mehr hinzufügen. Er ist mein Seelen-Musiker und ich habe mit seiner Musik sogar Flüge überstanden, meine Angstzustände haben sich gelegt.
I love this song my dad was a fisherman in the old country
Today we celebrate the music of singer-songwriter and "guitarist" Mark Knopfler.
An original talent, and a truly a gifted man.
Mark KNOPFLER its à genius,,🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🤟
Recently had a boat out the water 70 year old she is needed new prop and lots of glass and general were and repairs feels great to keep fishing specially being from Great Grimsby proper proud to follow my family's footsteps
Good luck!
I just keep playing it over and over - don't want it to end - memories
Genius. Absolutley genius
Hermosa canción!!! Desde un principio los acordes mágicos hipnotizan y crean un sonido melancólico, grandioso y único como siempre Mark Knopfler

Such a wonderful and soothing song from the grand master. And I really appreciated your beautiful pictures capturing the mood of this song perfectly. Thanks a lot for posting this gem!
Hey thanks!
Oh what a gem this is... one of his very best songs “post Dire Straits” (personal opinion and personal associations).
Except photo of lady love at the end .
The slideshow is magnificent. Thanks, DJ, Christmas Morn, 2020.
Thanks so much!
Superbe chanson de Mark Knopfler. Sur ce diaporama il y a une photo du phare du Minou situé tout près de chez moi en Bretagne France 😍
Wonderful!
@@ajpaauwe4849C'est un signe pour moi qui suis fan de Dire Straits et de Mark Knopfler 😀
Love the music of MK love you man ❤ love from Pakistan
I'm not a Fisher man, but a sailor. But great respect for Women's and men's for the tough job. Mark did a lovely song for them.
Simply awesome. What a great songwriter and guitarist
Fantastico Mark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a decent and dignified comments section only mark can get such fans
Piękne fotografie ludzi morza❤👏👏👍
Mark égal à lui-même !!!!! Toujours la même symbiose entre la mélodie et l'accompagnement à la guitare !!!!
former new england commercial fisherman, aka trawlerman, love this song!! its so true
Pure MK mmm..
Super Sänger sowieso! schönes Video 👍🎸🎵
Beautiful vessels hard at work serving the world ✌️❤️
This sounds like the type of song I would imagine Ian Tyson covering. Ian has been a major fan of Mark’s for years, and Mark has been a major influence on his songwriting. However; Ian has died recently from health complications and therefore would be unable to record or perform any longer. If Ian were still alive, and were to sing one of Mark’s songs, it would probably be “The Trawlerman’s Song”.
Amen!!
essa música é muito legal...faz lembrar o lugar onde moro, ocorre muita pesca aqui. Guarapari ES. Brasil
Fantastic hit, returning home from work and thinking of my cousin at that moment only to get home and hear she'd passed away, this tune touches my heart beautiful ❤️❤️
Sorry
I love this. And that’s high praise from this “classical” composer.
Gorgeous collage of photos that perfectly capture the beautiful essence of this superb song. Thank you!
Thank you...I made this clip for my brother. Funny enough...when I asked him if there was a song he would like me to fiddle around with for his birthday he said The Trawlerman's Song. I replied I never heard of it even though I knew most of Mark's songs. Took a bit to get my head around what it was possibly saying in the lyrics. Thanks again.
Sad sea sick song.
Mark Knopfler, excepcional como sempre
Beautiful song and video ✌️❤️
Non la conoscevo ! È meravigliosa .
So beautiful. Such talent.
I like it
Keeps me alive...
I am glad you liked the song!
Beautiful ❤️⛵
My heart xx
Great song
This is good sad music.
Essa música é uma das minhas preferidas. Amo todas, mas esta é uma 💎preciosa! O vídeo é excelente! Que mar, que céu!!! A melodia é um sonho e a voz do Mark é mágica!!! Adoro!!! Love Mark 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸❤️🇧🇷🇧🇷😘
Fabulous ❤

Linda canção. Melodia perfeita
Sensacional... Mark....Top que música......

My Pandora played this tune...I can't stop playing it
Hey good one...this song doesn't get old really...and 'can be used again' Thanks. Have a great day
Sublime !!
Simplesmente belíssimo ❤
Love the song, ( note logo ), It's not JUST about fishin , is it......The spirit soars with this song....In a world of the artificial ......nature heals us......( the real reason for fishin) ,
A great song and the guitar work and studio mix is JUST great.
Makes me recall watching the fishing boats off the Fish Quay in North Shields.
Such a masterpiece of a song and the video is made top shot 👍 beautiful
Thanks Prasad. Have a good day!
Truly a masterpiece. So soothing.
la mia preferita di Mark Knopfler
I could also listen to this song one of my favorites
I listen to this song all the time never get tired of it, cant get melody out of my mind especially at night
let me be the one to say you did a great job with the slideshow... RUclips is annoying when you put a lot of effort into a video and nobody gives it enough attention... anyway you obviously like the song as much as me so thanks for creating this...
Hey thanks for your comment...nice to have some feedback...thankfully I get a lot of enjoyment out of creating them. Glad you like it! Hope that puppy's behaving...
It's weird how you can put the same song with lyrics on a black screen and it would probably become viral, who cares anyway as long as you know you did a good job, I do these videos for myself mainly, for family and friends second... and that puppy is about 6foot by now I think
Strummer1980 please send me 100000 trillion dollars
Masterpiece
So beautiful
Thanks.
I'm already there
love it!!!
New Bedford fisherman here. Rock it out brother
AJ, great work putting this video together. I like to do similar videos as a hobby but I'm still learning. Awesome video AJ.
Thank Brian. Yeah, it's just a hobby for me. I am still learning how to use features on imovie after a number of years now. Take care and I appreciate your kind words. Made this clip for my brother.
cool video to the music , well done
