Dire Straits - Romeo & Juliet
Dire Straits - Romeo & Juliet
Dire Straits - Romeo & Juliet
A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
Finds a streetlight steps out of the shade
Says something like you and me babe how about it?
Juliet says hey it's Romeo, you nearly gimme me a heart attack
He's underneath the window she's singing hey la my boyfriend's back
You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that
Anyway what you gonna do about it?
Juliet the dice were loaded from the start
And I bet and you exploded in my heart
And I forget I forget the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?
Come up on different streets they both were streets of shame
Both dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the same
And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?
When you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promised me everything you promised me thick and thin yeah
Now you just say oh Romeo yeah you know I used to have a scene with him
Juliet when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die
And there's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?
I can't do the talk like they talk on tv
And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you
I can't do anything except be in love with you
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
All I do is keep the beat, the bad company
And all I do is kiss you through the bars of Orion
Juliet I'd do the stars with you any time
Juliet when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above and I'll love you till I die
There's a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?
A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
Says something like you and me babe how about it?
You and me babe, how about it?

Tonight I sit here, listening to this song, remembering 26 years ago when I fell in love at first sight. I am sitting here lucky. A grown son doing well and that same man I fell in love with at my side. The cancer may kill me, but tonight I have this!
skimmer521 Hope you are still with us Skimmer.
I hope you're still here.
Tell me about it..
Unreal the nostalgia
Hope u still here !..
My husband sang this song to me years ago. Romeo and juliet that was us. I lost my husband to cancer April 2 2019. We met in 1976. I miss him more than my words could ever Express.
❤️😢
I'm so sorry Juliet that your Romeo was taken from you. I feel your pain you see because 7 years ago my juliet was taken from me. I was somehow able to survive for our only child Ronnie. Well Ronnie died last july and i am inconsolable, I cry nearly every day. Anyway I'm sure it will always hurt but as long as we think of them daily, in a way they're still alive
Omg 😭😭
Naomi i lost my husband 9 years ago to cancer and still struggling without him
Courage
*One of the most beautiful songs ever written*
I totally agree. This is absolutely not my generation but I love their music !!
One of my all-time favorite songs! I absolutely love it! The guitar is awesome!
I have to agree with anything PDSP says- I just have to. :)
It's fantastic.
indeed
If you're listening to this at 1am in 2021 while having a drink, then your a legend
I'm a legend! Hell yes! Cheers Nick!
If coke works then yes I'm a legend too
8pm works?
@@emilepapillon2275 lol now 10am for me
2.16am for me, Stella in hand. This tune on loop for a bit. Another couple of hours and I'll be having Stella for breakfast and I will become a KING.
Then Lucy will wake up and put me back in my place.
To all the legends🍺🍺🍺🍻🍻
"When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong" Who hasn't been there, felt that. My "time was wrong" guy is someone, nearly 40 years later, who I still carry in my heart. I hope that life gave him all that he deserved. If you are out there Romeo when I hear this song, I still think of you with a wistful smile on my face,
I feel you I do but 40 years that's something 🙄
@@debbiesinha4472 I have been happily married for 33 years. and have had a long and very fulfilling life. I have been very lucky. Still, and maybe I am a dreamer, but you never forget your first love.
The song in the movie is called a time for us. He says there's a place for us ya know the movie song when you gonna realize it was just that time was wrong. It's a place not time. Time is wrong. Amazing play on words
My situation is exactly the same. 40 years have passed.. The very first love that lasted for 6 years but not forever, just the time was wrong... too bad😔
😢
Huh most underrated song ever. My god what a song mark wrote
tri-different-angles brilliant!
I wish I could get my Romeo! Xxx
tri-different-angles fab
Marc knopler is a genius! He's a living legend! I love his music! Xxx
not underrated at all !!!!! not for people born before 1980 at least..
God,when he sings"Juliet when we made love you used to cry.said I love you like the stars above,I'll love you till I die"gets me every time
Me too!!!
Just reading your comment destroyed me 😭
I like to pretend that he's singing to me..I'm Julie but I'm Juliette when this comes on.
@@julieeadie3105 xxx
Here is an improvised recipe to make the dream come true: timing is everything; miss the target, and keep the bad companies, invisible bad companies! We might come from two different same streets, but be in one dream! I'd let you explode anywhere you throw that hand grenade. And, last, of course, kissing through the bars...
The greatest love song ever recorded.. Pure genius.
From one Ian to another: Yes. The best fuckin one, in a crowded field.
It's actually not a love song. It's a song about being dumped written by Knopfler when he was rejected by Holly Beth Vincent after giving her career a boost.
@@sbam4881the greatest love songs were written after getting dumped. AXL rose wrote "Don't Cry" after being dumped.
"When you're gonna realize....it was just that the time was wrong" this gets me every single time
"You and me babe, how about it?" This song line always brings a tear to my eye.
SAME 😭
me too
Agreed friend.
It's not Shakespeare, but it makes you want to say, "Oh my God...YES!"
Idk why it invokes emotion but it does
My dad was young when this song came out, and he used to keep playing it in the car when I was a kid. I didn't knew English, so I had no clue about what it was saying, but I was always in awe about how incredibly intense and beautiful this song was.
Many years passed and yesterday I found it randomly. I can't properly express how happy I was to have found it, and now that I understand the lyrics I like it even more, which is pretty rare for me.
Wow
Bless you!! I Love this song and Dire!!
my dad too
This is one of my dad’s favourite songs. Now that he’s passed on, I finally see the beauty in these lyrics which he tried to show me all along 🥰💓
He can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be but he sang the perfect love song. Everyone's favorite. My personal favorite ♡
all I do is miss u
Knopfler's playing at the end is beautifully understated and heartbreaking.
“I can’t do everything but I’ll do anything for you” 😢❤
That line! 🎉❤😢
For the only man I truly loved...my Romeo. The time was wrong but my heart has never and will never change
Hang in there Sis..took 54 years for our time to be right.
So you settled for another. Hmmm
Yes indeed...
This song hits a spot in the heart...
Timing is everything and yet, and yet, sometimes it just doesn't hit the mark.
A beautiful song at any time of day or time...
When the true feelings exist, they exist forever.
Exactly
"All I do is kiss you, through the bars of a rhyme" - great lyric.
Thru the bars of Orion
Bar is the lyric
@@charlesdeason1646 what you on about 😂 you all don't know what a bar is slang for in music
❤❤❤
I was just thinking that..what a way to express love and devotion..all of his music is just mesmerizing
If you’re listening to this chilling, have yourself a good life, starting from now 😍
I'd forgotten how beautiful this is, bittersweet
I agree. Mark Knopler is a beast. Dire Straits definitely is under rated. Even the cheesy 80's stuff was great. But this song is one of the Best love songs ever
Dawn Litalien hi would love to know what you think of my 15 year old grandsons cover of this ruclips.net/video/jNP23yLvhxA/видео.html
That delayed snare when it goes 'I love you like the stars above' is so amazing...I don't know why but it makes the chorus so much better
I love reading comments.
People from all over the world appreciating what makes them feel good. Commonality. What's right is right and will always be right.
OH,MAN, this was one of my late wife ADY FAVORITES SONGS, AND THE REASON why i learned to play guitar, just to sing this song to her, to make her happy... my beloved kids used to sing it with me, specially on birthdays, they loved that song... so many things happened since then , but listening it again is a fresh breeze in my life... thanks for the memories...
+EKO EKO AZARAK You learned guitar just to play this song to your wife? That's got to be one of the most inspirational and romantic things I've heard in a long time.
SpaceSpacedotdashspaceforwardslash YEP,it was not that hard once i knew what i wanted to do for her,you know what her words for me were after i played it for the first time ???she told me :" boy,i feel now as if the martians had landed on the backyard,you just blow me away with this,did not know you could sing like lou rawls... " and after one of those long and sweet kisses from her, she whispered in my ear :"you earned it,i could marry you again right now...thaks, babe.."... man, i am in tears as i recall that night, but they are tears of joy... can not write anymore...
+EKO EKO AZARAK Thanks for sharing a great part of your love story. It's not that you learned the skill so much as the overall gesture made to do something incredibly meaningful and special for someone you love.
EKO EKO AZARAK it is great romantic song indeed..moving story too..sorry on the loss of your wife.
this brought tears to my eyes. that's true love. isn't music just amazing :)
Shakespeare was timeless because even after 400 years, his stories still connected to people all over the world.
This is timeless because even 39 years later, every word rings so strongly for those it was created for, and every note connects to how someone can feel.
Beautiful song xx nothin else 2 say x
Yes - heartbreak. He understood it as well as anyone and, all those years ago.
"All I do is miss you, and the way we used to be; all I do is keep the beat and the bad company." Marc, you know that line is for you.
This song means so much to me, not only was it on the cassette tape my Dad played constantly when we were driving around the country in his truck, it also was the song my fiancee and I danced to on my birthday, the year he passed away. Its also an amazing song without any other reason than just that it is!
I see this has an emotional effect on everyone. What a thing to be old and look back, I remember every moment of what I was doing and the kind lady I was with. We played all over NYC. I forget what happened yesterday but damn I remember all of that. We were on skates in Manhattan.
And here I am, crying because I never got to live a love like this. I wonder how must it feel, to love so deeply and to be returned, but the only thing I can do is wonder..
Anything can happen tomorrow ❤️ who knows, you're next :) I hope you are 🤗
Keep the faith ,blessed be ,it will come to you
Thank you guys, sending love to you ❤️
Have faith you're not dead yet good things come to those who wait and don't try to fight or ignore that magnetic pull it's God or the destiny speaking to you don't make my mistake
Have faith ,love comes when you leasr expect it. Maybe in this time in your journey of life you need to learn to enjoy your own own company, And in my opinion I believe in when to time is fight and the planets are aligned right you will find what you are looking for ,don't encore the universes sign post,if you ever experience
I am only 13 bit I grew up with this kind of music and whenever I here this I just shut my eyes and let my chest melt in. It’s such a beautiful song.
It's great that you find such a great song at such a young age. Had to wait until i was 16-17 given that im turkish and not in touch with foreign songs as much as you people. But here we are
Olivia Pennella yea it’s just one of those songs
I love people with the same music taste as mine ! Dude..Give me your insta username or fb
And the voice of your Lammy the dalmatian.
same
Always remember my mum dancing and singing to this when i was a kid. I can still see her sitting there singing to every word! Its the only way i can remember her face now.
lovely
what a beautiful way to remember her.
Lovely, keep going.
I would scream, "American!".
I lost my husband 7 years ago January 10th....our anniversary is tomorrow......32 years. He sang this to me all the time. I adore this song.
Respect S A W I can hardly play this song it takes me back to my youth, everything was good, I just lament the loss of that
So sorry for your loss.
OMG, Things will get better. So sorry for your loss..The song never ends resonating. Just my opininion..
Well u and ur husband were very special ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is another masterpiece from Mark !!! These words and his untouchable guitar sounds are second to none!!! I have loved this band well over half of my life, just as great today as it was back then!!!! YOU AND ME BABE...HOW BOUT IT!!!! CHILLS FROM SOME AWESOME SEXY TIMES!!! WHEN SOMEONE WHISPERS THOSE LYRICS IN YOUR EAR....YOU WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES!!!!! WOW!!! THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES DIRE STRAITS!!!!!!
"I can't do everything, but I'd do anything for you"
Absolutely amazing lines XD
Does anyone else wish the outro of this song would go on forever?
The man is not just a musical genius, he's also a poet.
And a storyteller 🙂
and a brilliant one.

"The dice was loaded from the start, and I bet..." Such a good line.
Yep.
I remember some 6-7 years ago I was on a road trip across the beautiful Irish countryside. It was late evening during sunset and then this song came up on the local rock radio. An amazing memory I'll cherish forever.
I can imagine how amazing it must've been at the time.
Can't beat a good road trip with brilliant songs like this.
Just a weird question what car and I’m Irish
Wow
@@dylanmurphy5309 if I remember correctly it was a Peugeot 108. I may be wrong. It was my dad's car.
Damn! Takes me back to the 80's. I'll never forget.....first love...first heartbreak....this is a fantastic song performed by a great musicians.
Same for me..
I wish I was born in the 80's music was at its all time best then. Instead I'm here in the 2000's with the music that's generic and all sounds the same. They put absolutely none of their heart and soul into their work and it shows.
What a great song, music and lyrics, reminds me of my two lost loves, a high school sweetheart of 8 years and a wife of 24.
When these lyrics hit you personally you’ll never be the same
They hit me personally, I loved a girl, she didn’t love me back. I love another girl, she doesn’t love me either. Can’t seem to get any luck
@@kanepartridge7865 🤞 🍀
I have a vague memory, concerning this song. It infuriated me. I thought, he's awfully arrogant, to think I'd be with him.
I ended up marrying him. He died, 11months, later.
I just saw Mark playing this song yesterday in Strasbourg... What a masterpiece...
Everytime i listen to this song i remember the times i fell in love with my husband. We used to work together but he never had the courage to talk to me, but when he did, he said he used to think of me when listening to this song. Because we were romeo and juliet. Now we are married and this is our song.
My girl died. Hold onto each other
I can't describe how much I love this song. So true to life. So bittersweet. So touching and yet so tragic. And so true that for so many people, it was just that the time was wrong ❤️💔
This came out 1980 ...........Was Stationed at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire...... WE loved it..........We used to scrub the place on BULL nights thursdays and sing and dance to this and Meatloaf...BRILLIANT....DHARMA peace to all.
And peace to you, thank you.
what a song. a masterpiece.
One of those songs that makes me cry no matter what, makes me wanna snuggle with my girl and never let her go
"Juliet, when we made love you used to cry"
The deepest love ever felt
"I'll love you like the stars above, I'll love you til I die".
Perfect words.
This was played at my dad's funeral. Every time I hear this song I cry. It's beautiful
I think this could quite easily be the most perfect song in the world
Not sure why but this song brings tears to my eyes everytime I listen to it, truly wonderful music!
Ali Tahiri ..Same here !
Same..by the time I hear "all I do is keep the beat to bad company" I'm choking back tears
Same
My big sister used to play this when it first came out - I was nine, she was sixteen. Only now, in 2019, have I actually listened to & understood the lyrics. Wow..and that guitar riff near the end... beautiful ❤
I'll listen to this until I die 💔💔
Definitely one of the most beautiful love songs ever written and very apt for my life. I love it.
A wonderful song in 1981 and every bit as wonderful in 2018.
Totally agree
Juan José García Vizioli tranquilo viejo tu tmb estas viendo el video
2019 😂😑
and still good in 2020
We'll rock this until God takes us home, then leave it to the next generation to discover 😎
I’m 25 years old. I was around 5 the first time I heard this song. I loved it so much I had named my cat Juliet. It has been my favorite song my whole life. I always loved the words with my whole soul. “I can’t do everything, but I’d do anything for you. I can’t do anything except be in love with you.” It’s pulled at my heart for so long. I wish I could meet mark knopfler and just tell him how much of an impact this song has had on my life.
Dire straits definitely one of the greatest bands of the 80's.
One of the greatest songs ever written and sang.. Brings back so many awesome memories. Even in your saddest moments, it makes you remember those memories and see how lucky and blessed you were to get to feel that!!! And it will never leave you!
You promised me everything
You promised me thick and thin
Now you just say “Oh Romeo yeah you know I used to have a scene with him” 💔 😢
)),,:
Yep, I hear that....!!
I was a nosy teenager, and I swiped this album from my Momma's room many many years ago. One of the best decisions I've ever made. The band will forever be ingrained on my Soul
U just had great taste without realising it ❤️
I am in that phase of my life where I can completely relate to the song....even the cry and stars part...FML
RIP Johnny from your soulmate on earth 15 Years have passed since you left us on this earth . . Look up at ya ❤️. Thanks for the memories. I will always love you 😞. I'll meet you there wild horses couldn't drag me. I still cry 😭
This is one of those songs that will always remind me of my husband and I... He's been gone for almost 2 years. Lost him to brain cancer. I thought of this song the other night and just cried uncontrollably. Miss you every minute of every day Scott. I love you always...
#TillWeMeetAgain♥️
loved his since I was about 16....
wackster66 me too
same here bro :)
..was on two-days concert back in 1985 in Belgrade, I will never forget ...awesome
wackster66 iii
you shouldn't come around here singing up people like that...you nearly gave me a heart attack
Wow sir! Respect.
You and me babe,
How about it?
God knows, how much I love this song..
Listening to this masterpiece is the first thing I do every single morning.
Che ricordi riecheggiano con queste cadenze. Tanto di cappello a codesti Signori. E pensare che il mio genere musicale è ben altro!
What a masterpiece from the “uncool” Dire Straits. I’ve only ever truly loved one person, the line “when you gonna realise, it was just that the time was wrong” sums it up. 🙏🏼 xx
The best love song in the universe
" I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you..." These few simple words define love..."
Those are my favourite lyrics in this song. Well they all are but that one melts my heart
Back when stars had talent .
This song is my favorite of Dire Straits
My boyfriend and I just split up. Long distance UK to US, hard enough at the best of times but impossible during a pandemic. I love him, he loves me, but the time is wrong :( I keep coming back to this song because it sums up everything. I will love him until I die.
YES !
Why did you split up? Don't give up!
Fight!
I can't fight. He's 3000 miles away with a closed border. Who even knows when they will open again? It's not fair to ask either of us to wait. I wish it was different, but it's not. It's funny the comments came up today because I dreamt about him last night
@@GoldenKitkat I'm 24, from England. My girlfriend (26) is in North East India, 5000 miles away. Last year I was working as a pianist on a cruise ship and I met her in a buffet in November. She was working onboard as a masseuse. I lived in her cabin and slept with her every night for almost 2 months. She's my first girlfriend and first true love. We've been apart since January the 27th. We've made a commitment to stay together and things are going okay. She's busy working on her house and I'm busy doing some jobs and other bits and bobs while being furloughed. We chat on WhatsApp regularly. We do our best to relax and refrain from being 'needy'. Easier said than done! There have been a few 'edgy moments', but nothing major... just a few insecurities poking through as expected, especially given the circumstances.
It's tough, and I miss her a heck of a lot! I miss her touch, her kind smile, her smell and everything else about her. She hasn't been too well recently and I wish I could be there to comfort her. Luckily she has family nearby.
I know exactly how you feel. I'm living it right now. I believe that love is precious and I don't want to lose her. She doesn't want to lose me either. My sister's godfather told me to not let her slip away. He is single and I guess he has some regrets about the past.
If someone wants to make it work, it can be done. I guess one just has to power on through and hope for the best.
Things that keep me going:
- Little gestures and gifts. I had flowers delivered to her on Valentine's Day and more recently I made her a photobook of our times together in Australia, New Zealand and Fiji. Perhaps one day I'll write her a song?
- Distracting myself and trying to work on other things. Staying fit, selling unwanted things, playing the piano, teaching, gaming, etc. Music helps a lot.
- Remembering that people during WW1 and WW2 and countless other conflicts had to wait YEARS before seeing loved ones again, with no internet! My Mum wouldn't see my Dad for months at a time when he was at sea in the Navy.
I wish you all the best, whatever you decide to do. x
PS Some people I've spoken to online have been in long distance relationships for years and end up marrying. Some spent ages being loyal without even meeting each other. It can be done. You can check out some stuff on reddit too for advice.
Music at its finest!
The amount of people from whatever walks of life that can relate to this song is phenomenal!
One thing I love about beautiful music is the equally beautiful comments
This song proves my point, that Mark Knopfler is truly the British Springsteen. Those piano arpeggios on the chorus, the influence is unmistakable. Very different but I love both of them incredibly.
one of the eighties classics the guitar is beautiful well done Mark
I’ve read some Shakespeare. Do not recall Juliet exclaiming “Hey la, my boyfriend’s back!”
Huh most underrated song ever. My god what a song mark wrote
Neither did Juliet say "I used to have a scene with him" , but Mark's ex did ;)
Underrated??
Some people it means a lot to don't shatter their dreams and memories tony
you need to read the scouse version laa
Love this song, Men should be cherished more for all they do.
Je suis porté par l'histoire de Juliette et Roméo !depuis toute jeune@ j"'ai le livre avec de magnifiques images! Merci pour cette chanson que je ne connaissais pas de dire street je 🫂💖💝💋
first heard this song today, and i haven't stopped thinking about it all day
"when we made love, you used to cry
You said 'I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die'
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong"
Such A Beautiful Song
but There is no wrong time to meet the right person...
hauntingly beautiful. We have all been there.......
Piękny utwór , wspomnienia wracają
such an awesome song from Dire Straits , it brings back memories for me. Dire straits was a great band and sung many a good tune.
Best song ever. My dad actually sang this to my mum😘🙂
Dire straits another great band. This song deserves over 100 million views. I was blessed to see these guy's in concert at a young age, with my folk's. Mark knoffler another ripper guitarist. Praise God for giving him his vocals and guitar talents
When you gonna
realize..
it was just
that the time was wrong.
Huh most underrated song ever. My god what a song mark wrote
I sit here reminiscing of all the summer nights full of love and adventures, it seems like a million light years away.....
Juliet I'd do the stars with you anytime ♡♡
When are you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong♡
Haunting
And just
Maybe...
One starry night . They
May revisit..
Again
Oh my !! What a beautiful love song.I was very young when I first heard this song .I still remember where I was and how it just touched my heart.Very intense.Just beautiful.
Loved this song since i was 20- i'm 52 now- Hope Mark Knoffler is well and good
Just heard this song for the first time tonite. What a beautiful song. great lyrics. gonna try to learn to play it.
My heart aches when I hear this song, soo many memories 😪
Knopfler is a legend ❤️
This song tears at my heart. It so describes my and Lisa's relationship so well. She cast me aside when she got all she could (because I was no longer a, "Pretty Stranger?"). Lately I have seen her - life has not been kind. So it goes . . .
“I, Tonya,” “Hot Fuzz,” or “Can’t Hardly Wait” usually bring me here. Magical song!
Empire Records for me
2017 here....awesome song!!!!! Bring back this music please
Listened to this song at least 20 times in a row. Cant get enough. Absolutely love it. WOW
Juliet, I'd do the stars with you 🥺🤧🤧 its so beautifully written i could cryy 🤧
Another Julie song..I'll claim it. Looooove this band..
BLOODY TIMELESS !!!! 😢
Absolutely love this track but it cuts deep 🥺
