This album kind if snuck up on me. The more I listened to it the more it gripped me. It takes you down the road and reminds you of the humility of life. The Ragpicker's Dream, Quality Shoe and The Place Where We Used To Live, the longing for a decent life, a place to live and respect. Mark makes a book out of his lyrics and music and gives us a good read. Thank you, for sharing with the world.
MK you are so gorgeous I like to listen to you all your conversation all your kind of music you golden fingers playing on the guitar you are the greatest thank you MK take care of yourself🙏🎸💜🎸❤🎸💖👍
I left home at 17 and hitched all over the country for several years. Living rough and day labor places for a recharge. In my latter years music from the days, from the Carter Family, Waylon, Kris, Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Willie, Emmylou and a well rounded fellow named Mark Knopler, many others too. I think of the kindness of strangers, and the sense to get away from a few rides that did not feel right. Still look for new music, as I feel God uses man's eccentricities for His opportunities. Keep on playing, we need troubadours more than ever.
A true legend...Yet so humble, so down to earth. Fascinating to hear your story from you...your influences, your thought processes. And particularly how passion sustains you through inevitable downs...a most important lesson for those seeking instant success!🙏🏻Mark
I like these Mark....some might find them boring but I can get lost in listening to you speak about your music...you have such a passion about them...it is very inspiring
I am completely mesmerized by this person: great musician, magnificent guitarist, wonderful composer and a good man! A unique human being, mainly because of his humility before the star he is! ❤️🎸❤️
Thank you so very much Mark for sharing The Ragpicker's Dream - A Documentary with us. It certainly tugs at the ole heart strings and is certainly thought provoking, and in an odd way, comforting, in that one can identify with. Great job Mark and again, thank you. Will.
Gina 1965 Like a really good bottle of wine - more complex, more developed flavours and tones, settled into it's own path. What a great guy and consummate artist.
Oh yeah Gina! Even as a shallow 20-something Dire Straits fan I always had a crush on Mark, not classically "good looking" but very sexy! (I am even allowed to say that these days? If not, whoops!)
@@Gina-bt7qk what hoax? I just wanted to say that I feel very sorry that now in 2020 he's not handsome anymore and I'm crazy about him. Just life, now he's looking really old. Peace!!!
Mark,you will never know how much pleasure your music has given me.I Love Love Love it.Thank You.Please come back tae Auld Reekie ,the taverns are still warm,honest!X
We are both Artists, You and I, Mark. You with your fantastic music and songwriting, and me with my photography. Please never give up. You weave a great story in your songs, and I try to do the same through my photography. Although I think you have the jump on me with your music! I would love to be able to do a photoshoot with you, but I guess that will just be a pipe dream, although that won't stop me listening to your music on RUclips. Take care Mark.
You will have to come near me Mark for the next little tour ..... please it would make up for a lot of bad things that have happened to me and my boys xxxx
Gracias Mark Knopfler por existir ...ères mi cantante, compositor y guitarrista favorito...desde que amanece hasta que anochece. ..y todos los días que me queda de vida...tu música alegra mi existencia😊
Is nice to hear M.K. tell the source of inspiration for for each especufic song. Also, to know that he writes expecting that his songs strike a cord in peoples of different places.
Your perception of where your music originates is exciting ,makes me what to try to play again ,l'm arthritic impaired. I asked some guitar players on here for help l was shocked at the response 😳 thanks for the motivation ❤ HOPE ! I am going to take my acoustic to the House of Guitars for a "impairment overhaul" 😂 and try some herbal remedies l will play again!thanks for your seed of inspiration. I remember the feeling of loving to play ❤
Eu entendo 90%. Mas estudei inglês a vida inteira! Alguma recompensa tenho que ter. Mas vê-lo é o melhor, escutá-lo tocando. Ele é mesmo um gênio. Gosto dele desde 1983 com o Alchemy Live. Abraços de BH
Lyrics: When Jack Frost came for Christmas With a brass monkey date The rail-king and the scarecrow Hopped a Florida freight And they blew on their paper cups And stared through the steam Then they drank half a bottle Of Ragpicker's Dream Where the whiskey keeps following Cold pitchers of beer Me and my associate Like the clientele here get The onions and the 'taters Rib-eyes on the grill Toothpicks and luckies And a coffee refill As the rail-king lay rocking He was leaving the ground Then he was flying like Santa Claus Over the town where He came to the window Of a house by a stream It was a family Christmas In the Ragpicker's Dream There were kids at the table All aglow in the light Music in the wintertime Sure carries at night there Was turkey and gravy Pie and ice cream And gifts for each and everyone In the Ragpicker's Dream Where the red-eye keeps tumbling In our glasses of beer Me and my associate Like the service in here there's A ten for your trouble You have beautiful hair Make the last one two doubles It's a cold one out there Where the scarecrow and the rail-king Have started to dance But a nightstick and a billyclub Won't give peace a chance here I think they went thataways Your song and dance team Heading home for the holidays With the Ragpicker's Dream On his knees like a fighter The rail-riding king Like a sack of potatoes Like a bull in the ring where The scarecrow falls over With a tear in the seam Home for the rover In the Ragpicker's Dream Where the red-eye keeps tumbling Like tears in our beer Me and my associate Like the ambience here where They cornered two castaways In a white flashlight beam Merry Christmas and happy days In the Ragpicker's Dream
One of the most intelligent and amazing musicians of all time. Long live Mark!
Mark's brilliance shines through at every stage of his magnificent musical creations. There is no one like him. He is a gift to this world.

I was always wondering how to explain this album. Words never came to me. You've precisely explained the way I feel about it. Listening since 2015...
One of the few, true musical geniuses left in the world!

The guitar solo at the end of _You Don’t Know You’re Born_ is one of the finest Piece of Music ever written - and played

Journalist, spirit level, north American natives ? Dang, I'm feeling very close to Amb. Knopfler.
You should upload the documentary in "Arena" from 1980.
I love the arena documentary!
Lyrics:
When Jack Frost came for Christmas
With a brass monkey date
The rail-king and the scarecrow
Hopped a Florida freight
And they blew on their paper cups
And stared through the steam
Then they drank half a bottle
Of Ragpicker's Dream
Where the whiskey keeps following
Cold pitchers of beer
Me and my associate
Like the clientele here get
The onions and the 'taters
Rib-eyes on the grill
Toothpicks and luckies
And a coffee refill
As the rail-king lay rocking
He was leaving the ground
Then he was flying like Santa Claus
Over the town where
He came to the window
Of a house by a stream
It was a family Christmas
In the Ragpicker's Dream
There were kids at the table
All aglow in the light
Music in the wintertime
Sure carries at night there
Was turkey and gravy
Pie and ice cream
And gifts for each and everyone
In the Ragpicker's Dream
Where the red-eye keeps tumbling
In our glasses of beer
Me and my associate
Like the service in here there's
A ten for your trouble
You have beautiful hair
Make the last one two doubles
It's a cold one out there
Where the scarecrow and the rail-king
Have started to dance
But a nightstick and a billyclub
Won't give peace a chance here
I think they went thataways
Your song and dance team
Heading home for the holidays
With the Ragpicker's Dream
On his knees like a fighter
The rail-riding king
Like a sack of potatoes
Like a bull in the ring where
The scarecrow falls over
With a tear in the seam
Home for the rover
In the Ragpicker's Dream
Where the red-eye keeps tumbling
Like tears in our beer
Me and my associate
Like the ambience here where
They cornered two castaways
In a white flashlight beam
Merry Christmas and happy days
In the Ragpicker's Dream
just for me😊💕😙👍👍
I do love my Daddy
😍😍🍀🌹
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
👍❤️😎
Alguém, por favor, coloque legendas em português. É difícil entender o que MK diz.
Переведите кто-нибудь на русский,хочу понимать о чём говорит Марк.
Сам я не смог сделать перевод совсем недавно стал заниматься английским.
👍
😃🤗🙋
.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Brilliant
