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 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 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 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.
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!
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
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.
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
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.
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.😌
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Eines der besten Instrumentalstücke aller Zeiten ! Trifft voll die Seele ! Und macht so nebenbei aus einem wundervollen Film "Local Hero" ein Meisterwerk !
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
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.
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
Alles, was ich von Mark Knopfler zuhören bekomme, gefäält mir sehr, dass ich davon gar nicht genug bekommen kann. Er ist ein hwrvorragender Musiker und Sänger. Für mich der Beste.
I’m a Sunderland supporter. This is the tune out great rivals Newcastle United come out onto the pitch to. However, this song is special to me, a great friend of mine I served in the army with who was killed in Afghanistan was an avid Newcastle supporter. Every time I hear it I automatically think of him. RIP Steve Campbell
@@tamara271000 When the sun is shining the birds will sing. Im assuming you dont mean the UK or US when you refer to this land because the rest of the world has been silent for a loooong time
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 .
Again & again---NO-WORDS!!! For over 30 years I haven't figured out how ONE man can mezmerize so many people repeatedly . I get lost in a world without time---my heartstrings get pulled---I forget to breathe---his guitar finishes & I think---HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE??!!!
People are in desperate need for SOMEONE of goodness to "win", despite the world's games. Part of his mystique is that he seems to keep going on his own terms "without" the world, and despite the need for it's accolades & awards. If it's not true, it's been a hell of an illusion to have mastered. And personally? I choose to believe he's carved his own path & mastered it ALL, despite the odds! His guitar, lyrics & music are all the more rich and intense WITH this belief---and my soul doesn't want to know otherwise!
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
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.
Genius is not a word I use lightly, but Mark Knopfler is a musical genius. There is no music that has been written in the last 30 years that is as beautiful as this. This comes from the depths of creativity, that most people cannot journey to.
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
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........
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.
J 'adore se Type!!il est simple!! il présente tout d'abord tous ses Musiciens!! il fait fait honneur et les mets en valeur en concert!! Mark est trés modeste!! et naturel!!! c'est un mec super bien!! Que Dieu a crée pour faire parler sa guitare et son coeur!! Respect a toi Mark!!!
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!
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..
Indeed, many of our young people do not know what good music, a good melody, a harmonious rhythm is. Mark Knopfler provides us with a quality and vesatility of genres musicals that only someone with a lot of talent could.
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
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.
Eternally beautiful/peaceful/revolving-------and to MAKE the film, Local Hero, it would not have been 'that film' without this music, --- OK, right, I'm speechless!

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.
Nobody plays guitar like Mark Knofler !!! Just uses his finger tips and plays it so effortlessly .
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 !
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!
It never fails to impress every time Mark plays this. Always different but always superbly executed.
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.

Mark Knopfler best guitar player ever!
its the dynamics, vibrato and spare use of notes that make his playing. Beautiful guitar playing
what a gift he is to all of us
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.
Genius, pure and simple! Guy alongside is irreplaceable. Simply the finest musicians collaborating to deliver this eternal signature tune.
he always plays his songs in a different way, that's what I call talent

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
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...😊😍😘🎶🎸🎶💘💓💋💯💯💯🍀🌅
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.
in my opinion, one of the best guitar pieces of all times. Mark is simply the best
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.
Simply the best instrumental ever created!!

This man is who the guitar was invented for!! Beautiful!
Just started crying for no reason just listening to this. This mans’ guitar play goes straight to the heart and eye-wetting-organ.
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.
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 just makes that guitar talk to everyone. Just amazing.
August 2020 in a troubled World. All disappears listening to this beautiful music. Thank you 🌍💖xx
Amen.
G. Fletcher and MK are so connected...seems MK looks to him with such trust and appreciation of his skill.

This tune never fail to lift my spirits, no matter how times I listen to it. Simply awesome. Mark of a genius!
He doesn't just play guitar, he makes the guitar speak, which sets him apart from other 'guitar players'.
Bloody beautiful. MK is one of the best songwriters and guitarists Britain has ever produced. xx
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
Just lost for words. Genious with the gift of God on the Gibson . You enriched my life Mark . Thankyou until the day I die
Awesome this man plays nothing I don't love and I'm a 65 year old rocker...Just love his guitar music..
I love watching him play and facial features he put you at ease, very comforting.
