Lyrics:
getting crazy on the waltzers but it’s the life that i choose
sing about the sixblade sing about the switchback and a torture tattoo
and i been riding on a ghost train where the cars they scream and slam
and i don’t know where i’ll be tonight but i’d always tell you where i am
in a screaming ring of faces i seen her standing in the light
she had a ticket for the races just like me she was a victim of the night
i put a hand upon the lever said let it rock and let it roll
i had the one arm bandit fever there was an arrow through my heart and my soul
and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
and i’m just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love
it’s just the danger when you’re riding at your own risk
she said you are the perfect stranger she said baby let’s keep it like this
it’s just a cakewalk twisting baby step right up and say
hey mister give me two give me two cos any two can play
and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
and i’m just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love
well it’s been money for muscle another whirligig
money for muscle and another girl i dig
another hustle just to make it big
and rockaway rockaway
and girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
like the spanish city to me when we were kids
oh girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
like the spanish city to me when we were kids
she took off a silver locket she said remember me by this
she put her hand in my pocket i got a keepsake and a kiss
and in the roar of dust and diesel i stood and watched her walk away
i could have caught up with her easy enough but something must have made me stay
and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
and i’m just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love
and now i’m searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades
searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades
in any shooting gallery where promises are made
to rockaway rockaway from cullercoats and whitley bay out to rockaway
and girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did
like the spanish city to me when we were kids
girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did
like the spanish city to me when we were kids

Who is still listening today May 2024..
Me
Me
Io
Meeeeeee!!!!! 💃🏼
let it rock and let it roll mate
Who's still listening in 2024 ? I will do this forever
Probably listen to it once a week and will keep listening to it. They just don’t make music or write lyrics like this anymore
I mean. Why would you wanna stop listening to some of the best music ever written?
Dire Straits🎸💙🖌
I’m still listening! I may be late to the party but I love Mark Knoeffler & Dire Straits!
Me too, me too
5:29 onwards = musical heaven
Are you saying that before that it aint musical heaven. Blud the entirety of it is perfect😅
2024. Some classics are just this after many years. Many years after this, the music will still exist. Tell me, who will be remembered ⬅
I once played this song so loud that my neighbors called the police. The police came and arrested them.
🤣🤣😂
Oh I so hope that’s true!!!!!
Certainly just ✔️
But in my case neighbors called police not to stop this song. My neighbors wanted me to play this song again and again until morning😋
You live in an enlightened country!
This one is almost as good as a song itself... Masterpiece...
The ending solo stops you in your tracks simply a masterpiece 👌👌👌👌
Can you imagine music like this being in the charts today ? We were so lucky back then.
Abbiamo vissuto la miglior musica in assoluto, adesso in confronto sono escrementi di insetto.
Cause it's TUNNEL OF LOVE
Well Said 😊
Reminds Me Of When I Was Little And My Dad + Brother Had Them On All The Time.Memories Good One's You Never Forget 😊
@@riccardogoracci4461Must Of Been Shit 😂
The greatest Dire Straights song ever 🎸
My mom introduced me as a kid to The Dire Straits and it was 1 her final wishes that at her funeral this would be played at the end of the service. R.I.P and love ya mom 🖤
Similar story with my grandad
Honestly, I can’t think of a better song to sum up a life. The tears are a grace.
The greatest guitar solo of all time
Esse 2um dos hinos do rock mundial sr mark.
most beautiful would I said
For me its ALL OF Telegraph Road THE LAST 4 AND HALF MINUTES IS SUPER BABY .😂😂😀👏👏👏👍
They don't produce music like this anymore
Ain't that the TRUTH ❤❤❤💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🌈🌈🌈💥💥💥
Still Listening! 5/2024!! Still The Cut!
One of the best solos of all times
The Best
By far....
1980!! Cannot believe this is 43 years old. Still love this song!❤
Proof that great music doesn't age! The "music" of today could never hold a candle to the sounds of the past... Music that stands the rest of time.
This was music...was music !
È scolpita per sempre nella mia mente. ❤
Is music
Not was...
❤❤❤
The final 2 minutes guitar solo.... so beautyful, superb. So much feelings
That's what I love about his guitar playing style. Also adding in David Gilmore here because it reminds me of the same. Not the fastest, but emotional provoking
Rock away rock away
For all of you who's feeling depressed, listen to this masterpiece and we're gonna pass this shit together
I needed someone to say that mate.
lol you have to demand it, they will take away all your rights if you let them and you'll never get them back unless you fight.
We will and will be the most happy day for the humanity
We’ll pass this shit when everyone stops living in fear, testing themselves when healthy and locking themselves away at the whim of tyrannical governments. Good luck to you all x
Leslie Ash! Men Behaving Badly, anyone remember that? Always get goosebumps listening to the gorgeous outro. I used to relate to this as a youngster thinking about lost love and bad decisions (or maybe not!) either way, that’s what songs should invoke, not pointless diatribe and feeding corporations! Showing my age
When I was 22 I was working with street children in Ethiopia. One day a social worker and I were driving down south near the Kenyan border to visit another project there. In the car was just this one tape from Dire Straits with this song on it. The bumpy ride would take us 12 hours and we listened to this song probably a hundred times, watching the most gorgeous landscapes and sunsets I’ve ever seen. Most beautiful time of my life in the most beautiful country with the most beautiful music. I miss Africa so much...
You rock, Phillipp.
Me to I love this song
Good man and I envy your experience from every angle! If I were in your shoes I would have chosen the same song. IMO the most underrated guitar solo ever if it is not spoken of with equal respect as David Gilmour's masterpiece "Comfortably Numb".
Epic!
Ironically, I'm in West Africa, listening to a song about the Spanish City fairground, in my hometown "when we were kids"... it's mostly gone now, the main building is still there, and it still kinda looks so pretty to me, like it always did... I miss Cullercoats to Whitley Bay.
Made in 1980. This year no artist or band will beat this tune, god damn beautiful!
That last guitar solo is gotta be the most beautiful thing I've ever heard in my whole godamn life, it's so so incredible I can't find the perfect word to describe it, it's happiness inducing really, mark was a true master, period.
look up Alchemy
their live album.
the solo on that is fucked up good
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo…IMPRESIONANTE !!
Inspirador y precioso…❤❤❤

My 19 year old Granddaughter loves this. She has great taste in music. ❤
Mark Knopfler is a genius with an accurate, quirky, blues voice.
I didn't know how good these guys are until I heard the talent and saw how unique they are Exceptional
Probably one of the most complete, passionate, well structured and immersive songs ever
A supreme piece of art!!!
Fantastico...!
Just danger when riding at your own risk. Neon burning up above.
I put my my hand upon the lever. The cars they scream and slam! So good. The Spanish city looks so good to me ola! Tunnel of 💕. Nothing like it!
True man never been immersive before...
Perfect description!
Mark Knopfler is a genius. His music gonna live forever !
Forever!
Facts
Dead on
The last 2 minutes of this song is so beautiful
I pity the current generation for that they have nothing that even comes close to bands and music like this, music that meant something and musicians with talent. I have and NEVER will lose sight of the fact I grew up in the best decade for music that being the 80's.
Most underrated song. The solo in the end is beautiful.
3 minutes of outstanding solo!
It is pure 80s art my friends , go and flow
His choice of notes and melodies are quite unique and beautiful
True ! I noticed that when I was a teen, back in the 80es !
Sublime!
I love the way Mark Knopfler, although only in his early 30s at the time he sang this, sounded as if he was recalling a very deep and distant past.
My brother worked at the Spanish City, when he was a teenager. I think it was one of the happiest times in his life. It was played at his funeral in 2017..
Uno dei primi album che ho acquistato e che conservo gelosamente nella mia collezione..
the outro is really brilliant, like watching sunset
Exacto amigo!! Mil atardeceres con las personas que mas amo en mi vida , los mejores recuerdos de mi vida !! Cuanto los extraño
Who's still here listening to this masterpiece in 2023.
2024, Dire Straits 🎸💙🎨🖌
One of the best bands from the late 70s into the 80s🎸🎸🎸
GREAT TUNE!
Heard em first day on mtv...when MTV was rock and blues
2024 baby !
Immortal song❤
The drums are pretty intense in this song. Love it all.
It's actually scientifically impossible to be in a bad mood after listening to this
i always end up with tears
Thong Slapper brilliantly said 👌
@Jerzy Ramon As soon as he says when were kids. This is the first time I ever saw the video and heard the studio version. For me this song made Alchemy live extra special, well, extra extra special.
I heard a scientist did something once. So there's that.
The entire song is so emotional though.
Quite possibly one of the most underrated guitar solo ever
Who is underrating this? 😂 It's universally accepted as epic!
One of best songs of all time
If you haven’t listened to the live version of Wembley 85 it takes it to a new level of orgasmic solos even for Dire Straight’s.
@@maverick2242 everything Dire Straits did live from is beyond insane, even for them
*drum
I never expected Tunnel of Love. But, that is a perfect choice. Unassuming and perfectly placed.
Music in that age took time to unfold. Something so much important these times..
I'm a single parent raising my 19 month son and every night without fail this song is the last thing he hears as he closes his eyes to sleep . I want him to appreciate the purest things in life .
I am tearing up by your comment. Wonderful!
Youre a amazing parent
Beautifully done Jonathan.
You could not have picked a better song - setting him up for greatness :-) As an apropos, I heard that The Spanish City used to close by playing this song over the load speakers every evening.
Wow! Well said I have a 15 yr old son and feel the same way.
One of the best songs ever made... That ending solo is something out of this world... Cheers from Italy!
Agree, probably best song ever...
Ciao! E' bellissima davvero!
@@laylasummernights9841 Vero... Ciao e speriamo che questo periodo passi presto
Stupenda! Saluti
finalmente un italiano che ascolta musica con la M maiuscola ;)
Let's rock for the losers, the brokenhearted . Dire Strait.
Among the 20 most beautiful songs of all time
The guitar solo towards the end is arguably THE BEST guitar solo Ever played. I never get tired listening to it ❤️❤️❤️
You must be new to music.
Its your opinion
Listen november rain solo
epic...no doubt
makes me cry every time!!!
This song remembers me the day that my cat passed away. Today is 4 months since that horrible day, I´ll always love him, there´s no single day I don´t think about him. Love you Starboy, wherever you are.

*I gotta say, this is honestly a 10/10. Everything just falls into place PERFECTLY.*
There was just something about Making Movies. It was easily my favourite of their albums, even with individual tracks from Communique, Love Over Gold and Brothers in Arms sticking out more in my memories.
The best song they wrote in my humble opinion,shit hot😂
You are wrong my friend.

I know everyone will say Romeo and Juliet, Brothers in Arms etc. but to me, this is their most emotional song
I 100% agree with this.
Telegraph Road ;-)
Absolutely agree. It’s a masterpiece.. I fell in love with this song playing the record every day in a North East auction house with my good friends and colleagues. Graham, My boss was a friend of Alan Clark. I grew up in Morpeth and my Dad’s family were from Blyth where Mark Knopfler once lived. Hearing “...the Spanish City” and “Cullercoats to Whitley Bay” in this song with it’s narrative makes my heart swell every time. It’s beautiful!
Ho yes Dire straits played emotionally and fast in the same time👍👍👍
Yep.
Best guitar solo I’ve ever heard.
After Jimmy Page stairway to heaven
@@paspartyy9160
I think the solo of Tunnel of love is much beter.
@@renevanderwal1895 Hard to compare. Like comparing your own children 😀
The best instrumental I have ever heard, fantastic number
One of my all time favourites and I am thinking of two amazing friends who love this as much as I do.
This guitar solo is Mark Knopfler's greatest masterpiece.
The drummer is amazing
I often listen to the drum partiture.
Absolute love equates to absolute forgiveness. I don't know if I can do this.
The outro is the most beautiful, deeply emotional guitar work Mark has done in his celebrated career. Yes, it surpasses Sultans of Swing. It deserves to go down in history as one of the great, all-time guitar solos. I’m guessing Tunnel of Love just didn’t get the radio play of Stairway and some of the other iconic songs. Mark channels feeling through his instrument; the outro is even more powerful and heart rending than his very powerful lyrics.
My thoughts exactly. That guitar solo is almost painfully beautiful and as you say, deeply emotional. Just stunning.
I so agree!!
Without a doubt the best guitar solo ever written. I will never get tired of it.
His 'touch' is supreme - as though he's reaching out himself and tickling your eardrum through the speaker.
well said my friend
Dear God, thank you for Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler
Mark Knopfler IS God.
If you like good music like this, you might like the 1000 song play list on my chnl. Took me 5 years to put it together :) Justin

Isaac Vanlalruata I liked Terry Williams better. in my opinion.
No song will ever get close to this masterpiece.
except for the other masterpiece, created and performed by Dire Straits!
ok@@kappaiota5105
My all time favorite song of Dire Straits.
Terrific.
Dire Straits is proof that humans can use music as pure art.
Mark Knopfler is the proof. The others couldnt make it work
can't agree more

Ummm...you think they have an exclusive on this concept?
what does this shit even mean dude
pretentious as heck
This last solo always makes me feels goosebumps.
No wot you mean
Brothers in arms does that to me incredible music
agreed.... tears
Always!!
Fantastic
Ridateci gli anni '80 ❤❤❤❤❤😂Giuseppe Perego Monza 16.2.1962 Grazie 🎉🎉🎉
Those of us who grew up dating before social media. Teenagers at the amusement park. All of us had at least one someone we wished we never let walk away.
We're fast approaching 2020. This song is forty years old but still sounds fantastic and feels like only yesterday. Are you with me?
Forty......
Awesome solo. The musical equivalent of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel!
You're sooo right 😎 🎶
Definitely. Such an awesome song.
I'm with you 100%
The sound Mark Knopfler manages to squeeze out of his guitar is not of this planet.
I've known his music for more than 40 years and it still amazes me.
I think I was 15 when I bought the album Alchemy, Now it's 2024 and I'm 55 and still love listening. Good music never ages, Love Dire Straits ♥️.
Every time you go out to the night club this song comes on.
Can’t describe how much this song means to me. Their masterpiece
I got this album on COLUMBIA RECORDS DEAL. Taped a nickel to a spot on a membership card and picked out 8 records. Could of gotten cassette tapes or 8 track!!! Huuuhhhh, how far back was that you say ohhh waaay back in the day. 1978-79-80-81-82-83. This song is a timeless masterpiece!!!! Mark Knopfler and the boys are killing it on this album!!!
Me too!!🤙🏾
Pure Masterpiece with no Age.
Hey bud from Australia this song has a lot of guitar emotion which unfortunately will never see or hear again so we have to let the new generation hear no matter how much they hate it because one day they will appreciate this song they forgot about!!!😊👍
Just takes you to a better place
This is more than just a song.
It's a spiritual experience.
Fairly sure it's just a song
@@strattonblaine3216 why?
@@nimeshsompura All the usual reasons - melody, tempo, words...
@@strattonblaine3216 Those are usually reasons why it is a song. Why is it not a spiritual experience. Enough reasons for that?
@@nimeshsompura A spiritual experience is a communication from God or another supernatural agency. This is a song about a brief encounter between a man who works in a funfair and a female customer.
1980, what a great time! oh and I was 19 year old!!!
Et moi 18 ans , Époque Magique
Jeez, I miss these songs from when I was just a kid.
I wasn't born in the UK and watching this song on the tv on hearing it on the radio was just magic!
It still is!
For me this is the best composition by Dire Straits, the guitar solo at the end is a masterpiece.. shame no one makes such music nowadays...
of course they do. grow up
The War on Drugs brother!
come on!no other mark but try porcupinetree,tool etc.
you ain't kidding! 5:30 on is a whole VIBE!!!
@@EadsB7002 I see the whole composition as a whole vibe :D ;))
The Guitar Solo at the End: WOW!!!!
One of the best songs ever
All this does not exist in reality, it is only imagination for each of us, this song is magical it will be forever.
"Making Movies" leads with this and follows up with "Romeo and Juliet". Maybe the greatest album 1/2 punch ever. This song is criminally underrated. Absolutely beautiful.
Man music today just ain't got no soul like dire straits
I miei 20 anni a ballare questa meravigliosa musica...bellissimi ricordi.
Un capolavoro senza tempo, c'è da sempre e sempre ci sarà...
A true Masterpiece. Mark Knopfler at his finest hour.
agreed .. an opera....
Pick Withers - the perfect drummer for Dire Straits. He had such a fantastic ability to match every song with perfectly placed subtle fills and a driving force. Outstanding musician.
My late Daddy's favourite band, and he always raved about Pick Withers..! One hot outfit...
Mark Knopfler is a genius but he can't fulfill his vision without an elite rhythm section. He had one.
I definitely agree, but does anyone happen to know why he left Dire Straits in the early 80s? I would argue some of their best work (So Far Away, Money For Nothing, Walk Of Life, etc) was still ahead of them.
@@AchtungBaby77 It's all a bit murky. There are interviews with Pick on RUclips where he skates around the issue, (maybe for legal reasons?) as does J Illsley in his book on life in the band. He and M Knopfler met up with him. He anounced he was leaving, and that was that. Illsley doesn't really expand much further. Perhaps it was a combination of much touring, personality clashes and musical direction that made Pick leave? There's a rather vague but well documented "alleged" quote from Pick saying he left because he was "in danger of becoming a rock drummer".
Just my opinion here, but I can't imagine Pick on the Brothers In Arms album. A different animal to what went before it. But I can imagine him on the last album. Whatever....a truly great drummer.
@@AchtungBaby77 From what I understand is Pick viewed himself as a jazz guy and thought the band's poppish direction wasn't for him. It was a creative fulfillment thing. Probably it was a lot more complicated than that but that's just the gist as I've heard it.
My favorite guitarist ever!! Mark Knopfler is a genius and has a great poet singing style and incredible songwriter!!
Roy Bittan deserves more credit
The 4K transfer looks absolutely stunning. Well done!
Yep. They fixed the audio issue too, although I personally liked the old one better.
Yes I'm so glad they fixed the audio! The old version sounded horrible. Anyone who liked the old version must be some kind of groomer
2020... i'm 21 years old, from italy.. this song is in my opinion one of the best ever made... dire straits❤️

Concordo pienamente, compatriota!

Ovvio, cazzo. Uno dei migliori album della storia
Questa non è una canzone è un capolavoro che ascolteranno intere generazioni! Troppo fatta bene.
Un applauso a chi quarant'anni dopo ascolta ancora questi capolavori e non la musica di oggi che spesso è di qualità molto più scarsa...👏👏👏👏
Questa è una delle mie preferite, non capisco come facciano i miei coetanei di 23 anni ad ascoltare certe porcate.
Questa nn è una canzone è un miracolo.... L assolo è suonato dagli angeli è qualcosa di inspiegabile ti entra nelle vene nell anima...si può solo rimanere in silenzio e ascoltarla con tutto il rispetto che merita ❤️ perché musica così nn esiste più adesso....
😃😃😃ottimo
Rock n roll tutta la vita 🤘🏼
Ne ho 28 e ascolto la loro musica da quando ne ho 12.
Can we all take a moment and appreciate the guitarist’s skills?
This is an example of how some music is objectively good.
This song has the perfect balance between ups and downs, lyrics, voice, drums, bass, keyboard and guitars! I'm addicted to this song! Never get tired of it! Those eight minutes feels like two or three! That's amazing! I think it is one of the most underrated songs ever!
Estou viciada tb, ouço toda hora. Maravilhosa demais!!
Alchemy version is even more perfect than this already perfect version
There is also an element you will never understand - the pure magic of the Spanish City in Whitley Bay in the late 60s/early 70s. Like a Haiku this song captures a moment.
I like it a lot too. Mark’s solo sparkles with a different flair that’s fantastic 👍🏻✨👍🏻✨👍🏻
Did whoever made this video know what a fairground actually looked like??? 😂
I’m 15 years old. Couldn’t adore it better. You make my days so much better, thank you Dire straits, and you- Mark 👑

I'll never get tired of that ending guitar solo by Mark. The guy is something else.
I agree
@@sonyluy3982 When it comes to him it's more corret to say that the guitar plays Mark knopfler than that Mark Knopfler palys the guitar, the contrary, complete sinergy.
Totally agree Lex
Yeeeee
He's amazing. One of my top ten guitar players of all time and no sound boards either like Tom Morello uses. Straight talent !!!
This song reminds me of someone I met a few years ago. I met her at a nightclub where a live band was playing. We had a blast, dancing to almost every song. At the end, we hugged and parted ways, because we lived in very different worlds that we had to go back to. I found myself wishing I could recapture that moment in time, just like the guy in the song. It makes me think of her and brings back bittersweet memories.
Thats sweet
This song is perfect
I love this song
One of the best guitar solos ever. Perfect and beautiful.
