For me, what makes him so amazing is not the notes he plays, but the notes he doesn't play. He doesn't overwhelm you with his guitar. He chooses each note carefully and tastefully and let's each note speak for themselves. Aside from the fact that he is a brilliant guitar player, this makes his songwriting one of the best in my opinion.
Daar sal nooit weer 'n.Mark kom nie dit is waar hy kies sy note. Hy speel rustg ek is nog altyd mal oot hom. Is he still alive? Hy speel so mooi ek gaan in 'n koma in as ek sy musiek luister!!!!
Mark never plays the same song the same way everytime. There is always a slight variation in the chords he plays but they always comes out beautiful. He is a guitar virtuoso & a rare talent.
This is not a man who dominates his guitar - this is one of the few who has been entitled to enter into the exclusive realm of sublime cohabitation of man and instrument.
This is an incredible song. The emotion that you can read of of Marks face is just priceless. The feeling he puts in his guitar play is unimaginable. He is just one of the best guitarist in the world!
This is the kind of music you can listen to over and over again and never get tired. Every note he plays, every note he doesn't play, so beautiful. One of the best pieces ever written.
I have read many reviews on here and they seem to have the same theme, Mark takes us on a spirtually journey of wonderment when he plays this tune, he plays with passion and it gives alot of be people joy, and I include myself on this, the man is a legend and may it long continue!!
I love the movie! Watch it every time it comes around again. Quirky, and quietly funny...and I fell in love with this tune from the very beginning. Knopfler is a rare talent indeed.
i found this recording as a kid, listened to it alone in my room night after night and fell in love with playing guitar in the meantime, i simply love this performance
Mark has got to be the MOST over-looked, multi genre musicians/composer in the world. He never disappoints in the studio or in concert. Thanks for posting!
So moving and so touching... I could listen to this all night long. Truly a magnificent piece and played so beautifully you can't help but be taken away with it.
His music speaks to me of other places, other worlds, other lifetimes. I think everyone of us who listen to this and are so entranced by it all get the same feeling from it. And there is only one place to find it.Mark Knopfler. All I can say is thank you.
Live in 85 , three nights in a row @ Radio City Music Hall, was the greatest transcendent musical moment of my life. Mark, your music is the soundtrack.
Remembering my lovely wife Sharon-over 6 years now. We played this as we carried her casket out of the service-sob. But thanx Mark, actually saw him play this live at Christchurch a few years ago now. My youngest son shouted me the ticket as I think he knew this was the closing track. We looked at each other and didnt need to say anything. God Bless
One the very best guitarist ever. This song so very haunting. Mystical. Sacred. Lifts one above our earthly lives into the realm of the heavenly. Pastor wes 4:19
A great deal of people can play a melody, but few can actually feel the music they play and put it forth in a manner that lets you feel it too the way Mark Knopfler does. This is one beautiful example of that.
This man could make a broom handle, piece of wire and a wooden box sound fantastic, but when he has his guitar of choice in his hands there is nobody better, They simply become one. By far the greatest player to have lived. His song writing , playing and singing are in a league of their own
I never tire of listening to this man and his music, he is, quite simply, "the best " thank you Mark for giving me countless hours of musical pleasure.
You know these lovely chills you get sometimes when listening to some particular songs? This is it. The chill master. The goose bumps king. From the beginning all the way to the end.
G. Fletcher and MK are so connected...seems MK looks to him with such trust and appreciation of his skill. I agree...soothing and just so comforting in these times.😌
First time I've heard Mark play i was 10 years old, now i'm in my 50's and this is the only love in my life that hasn't change trough the years and experiences i had in my life.. his unique sound makes my heart melt and brings water to my eyes... sure there are others great guitar players, but no one hits me like Mark does, not even close... just me I guess and this special love that will never die...
Saw Mark on Sept. 11, 2019 in Salt Lake City, UT. Still as good as ever. Never gets old. Best song writer/guitarist ever. Can't wait for his next trip to the US.
Splendide, magnifique. Ça a l'air simple comme ça, mais il y a des passages qui sont une réelle marque de genie. Chapeau marck et merci. Ce morceau, je m en lasserai jamais
Why does beautiful song pull so many heart strings .Your a genius Marc . Im a pom living in the amazing continent of Australia and this song sure makes me homesick .
OH SWEET HOLY JESUS ....My sister loved this! She passed away aged 50 on the 4th September through Cancer. Im at this moment lost in a sea of mist with no direction. I TRULY feel lost. This music is simply ripping me apart. Literally so. I LOVE YOU FIORELLA !! ALWAYS WILL
Every now again there comes an artist who has that magical inspired touch............ like Mike Knopfler. Every nuance and note carefully crafted. The listener is transported to the beauty, feeling and passion of the song. What an artist! Bravo!
Can never tier of hearing this enjoyed this song for so long now heard it played live at the Wembley arena in 85 it was always the last tune played at any concert
Eines der besten Instrumentalstücke aller Zeiten ! Trifft voll die Seele ! Und macht so nebenbei aus einem wundervollen Film "Local Hero" ein Meisterwerk !
I'm back again, and have to say truly magical and for me this hit's deep - truly emotional. What a musical classic, a gem is sll about - A moment, a memory, thanx Mark for a classic........
a great piece of instrumental I never fed up listening to it, thnx MK, .... I keep listening to it till I could also learn how to play this piece...... a deep spiritual awakening too., when our time will come to go to heavenly home with our Lord one day..
Heartwrenching!! A North East spiritual. I'm a Yorkshire man but my dead Grandparents came from North East England and this tune more than anything I know has the power to connect me to them. Mark I salute you!
god i wish i could a guitar like him !! what a tune !! this reminds me of a mate who lost his life in afghanistan who was from the toon and loved dire straits !! he told me we would go to st james park and watch newcastle utd come out to this when we got home we would watch a game sadly he never came back but this is our song brother i will go to st james park and listen to this tune and think of you bro ¬¬ i know u will be watching JP love you never forget you my brother in arms !!
This is my favourite instrumental piece in the whole world! And it could only have been composed by Knopfler, and I would say, he's at his emotional best here! That 58' Les Paul sounds fantastic here.
John Corcoran, Jr. The film is brilliant, simple, strung together with fantastic music . I think it’s the Wild Theme where Marina walks out of the water , this plays that’s it. Brilliant
Thank you, Mark Knopfler, for you gift that you have,for the music that you have shared with so many, but most of all, thank you for what you have given to my soul, thank you so much!!!!!!!! Andrew
Wild theme is one of the most beautifull instrumental tracks ever maded by a master;hope he gets in this times allready a lot of respect;he stays a excample for me!
mark knopfler.....one of the most underrated musician/song writers of all time. his understated guitar playing leaves your ears hungry for those sweet sounds
This is my music while on my way going home from work to saskatoon saskatchewan from northern british columbia and alberta..i love it pretty much,im high on the fast lane
@@avelinocaasalan9135 Sounds like you work for the railroad? I can think of 3 railroads in that area: Canadian National Railway (CN), Canadian Pacific Railway (CP), and VIA Rail Canada.
Local Hero is one of my favorite movies of all time, enhanced by the creative and inspirational music of MK. Hearing this beautiful melody always reminds me of the movie and my time in Europe. Thank you Mark for a timeless treasure.
Wow, what a beautiful thought. While I love the melody I hadn't thought of it in this fashion. I've got Ave Maria, Scotland the Brave and Amazing Grace on my list, but you've given me something to think about.

Very true,,,,for us it’s like reading a book to him it’s the same but has a magic book 📚 with many many notes
Daar sal nooit weer 'n.Mark kom nie dit is waar hy kies sy note. Hy speel rustg ek is nog altyd mal oot hom. Is he still alive?
Hy speel so mooi ek gaan in 'n koma in as ek sy musiek luister!!!!
He’s also a great storyteller. That’s something that is really rare in rock music. His lyrics can stand on their own as literature.
what a gift he is to all of us
Mark never plays the same song the same way everytime. There is always a slight variation in the chords he plays but they always comes out beautiful. He is a guitar virtuoso & a rare talent.
If heaven can sing it will sound something like this,truly amazing.
Yes, you took the words from my heart. That's exactly how I feel, when I hear this song, in this interpretation of Mark.
Oh yes !
Nobody plays guitar like Mark Knofler !!! Just uses his finger tips and plays it so effortlessly .
This is not a man who dominates his guitar - this is one of the few who has been entitled to enter into the exclusive realm of sublime cohabitation of man and instrument.
❤❤❤ beautiful

It never fails to impress every time Mark plays this. Always different but always superbly executed.
Mark Knopfler best guitar player ever!
its the dynamics, vibrato and spare use of notes that make his playing. Beautiful guitar playing
he always plays his songs in a different way, that's what I call talent
one of few people that do not need words to express feelings..
This is the kind of music you can listen to over and over again and never get tired. Every note he plays, every note he doesn't play, so beautiful. One of the best pieces ever written.

Simply the best instrumental ever created!!
Genius, pure and simple! Guy alongside is irreplaceable. Simply the finest musicians collaborating to deliver this eternal signature tune.
in my opinion, one of the best guitar pieces of all times. Mark is simply the best
Mark Knopfler, you are the best.. Thanks for the music..Peace
Wonderful! The art of writing and playing songs without words. Among the finest of our generations.
Another classic piece of music by the master, I never get tired of listening to it. Thanks Mark.
Such talent, such modesty. Two traits that do not normally go side-by-side. Will be enjoyed for a long time by many.
i found this recording as a kid, listened to it alone in my room night after night and fell in love with playing guitar in the meantime, i simply love this performance
Capolavoro assoluto...😊😍😘🎶🎸🎶💘💓💋💯💯💯🍀🌅
The mark of a master is not in what you write, or what you play- but rather what is unspoken and unheard- and Mark is a true master.
Mark has got to be the MOST over-looked, multi genre musicians/composer in the world. He never disappoints in the studio or in concert. Thanks for posting!
he's not over looked at all is he
his music still resonates today and always will I'm sure people all around the world listen to his music I know i do
So moving and so touching... I could listen to this all night long. Truly a magnificent piece and played so beautifully you can't help but be taken away with it.
This man is who the guitar was invented for!! Beautiful!
I am in total awe of this man's guitar playing
His music speaks to me of other places, other worlds, other lifetimes. I think everyone of us who listen to this and are so entranced by it all get the same feeling from it. And there is only one place to find it.Mark Knopfler. All I can say is thank you.
Just started crying for no reason just listening to this. This mans’ guitar play goes straight to the heart and eye-wetting-organ.
Live in 85 , three nights in a row @ Radio City Music Hall, was the greatest transcendent musical moment of my life. Mark, your music is the soundtrack.
A very moving and inspirational piece of music.
Mark just makes that guitar talk to everyone. Just amazing.
Guitar God. Love this incredibly talented and humble human being.
A beautiful tune on a gorgeous sounding guitar played by a man who really knows how to make it sing, It just doesn't get any better than that

A great deal of people can play a melody, but few can actually feel the music they play and put it forth in a manner that lets you feel it too the way Mark Knopfler does. This is one beautiful example of that.
Don't forget he does it differently every time ,each beautifully done .

I agree...soothing and just so comforting in these times.😌
@@kayr2943 I completely agree with you. The Fletcher's performance is stunningly beautiful and perfectly complements MK.
Why isn't Mark Knopfler in every Hall of Fame in existence?!
Best version ever of one of Mark's great songs.

Absolutly beautiful music, what a talent, and what a magnificent guitar, Thank you Mark and thanks to Les Paul for his vision to bring music alive.
One of my favorites. Listening to it really does feel a little like going home.
Beautiful and thank you, it went to my soul and beyond........breaks my heart, many times over.....
