That's good stuff! Many years ago I was in a long distance relationship. My best friend was tending bar at this dump of a pub where I'd show up and get drunk a few nights a week. I played this song every time I was there and sideways. This bartender/friend got to the point where he told me to move, get a new girlfriend, or stop playing this dang song on his jukebox.
special for my sister.She lives 200 km in another town.I mis her so . I live in Noord Holland and she lives in Overijssel near the German border.I lost her 13 years ago,and since two weeks i found her on Facebook. I am so very happy that i meet my sister. SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Miss you Petra
@@Sindell81 Unfortunately because of the Corona, I can't see my sister anymore. I miss her so much. But I can't go to her.I still have a nice memory of her. She breeds Maine, and luckily I took over a kitten from her two years ago. The cat is now 9 kg heavy.Petraaaaaaaaa where are you. I miss you so much. You're so far away from me.
@@vectraguy I must say your story really got to me. My sister and I had a falling out when i read your comment and even though i acting like it didnt bother me that she and I were no longer speaking, it secretly did. Her and I now talk again. Not as often, but much more than not speaking at all. I went over a year of not speaking with my sister. after all she and I have been through growing up , loosing out dad suddenly when we were just teens , it really hurt not having her to call and talk to.
Man.....the nostalgia!!!I hope you all get the same feeling in your hearts when you hear this song as I do.Its literally a physical sensation that almost makes me giddy with happiness.In 2020 the classics are the only thing that resemble the America I grew up in!!!
Get somebody local..... i used to have a business and was always looking got businesses elsewhere, to no avail, started looking for clientele near home and my businesses boomed...i know that isn't the same thing... but kinda...
I'd be honored if some Mark Knopfler & James Taylor fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of their respective compositions ON EVERY STREET and THE FROZEN MAN on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of the greatest songwriters of the 20th century. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and RESPECT to the legends.
I'm 36 yrs old and my BEST FRIEND was 66 yrs old & She just recently passed away in January... & She would rock out to Dire Straits. Donovan, Steve Winwood, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton , Songs I had never heard and my 5 yr could sing all the words to almost every song and name the members in the Beatles band and know who sings certain songs .. It was awesome to see. My daughter is so into music , It's UnReal. We miss her so much . She was Thelma and I was Louis... ♥️ Miss u "Old "Woman.. (Only I could call u that & u kinda chuckled & said u liked me calling u that!! ) RIP B.S.M .. Love u
Dire Straits reminds me of my dad. He used to play there music when I was a kid. He died from cancer when I was just 9. He’s so far away from me now 😢.
The love of my life sent me this song He is so far away from me,yet still always with me in my heart. Love this song, it’s my favorite from now , I did play it more than 30 times, I guess I will always do.
Thanks for posting this, Dire Straits is 1 of the most under rated bands in history. I always am blown away by the guitar, & they have an original sound that I have not seem even. Thanks again, God Almighty and His Son Messiah Jesus bless you and your family!!!!
This is one of two songs that put in a state of absolute emotional truth. It’s as if I have that “you-see-bright-light” moment that’s typically experienced at death. It makes me really see my life in an immense state of reflection. Truly a masterpiece.
Here I am again in this mean old town And you're so far away from me And where are you when the sun go down? You're so far away from me You're so far away from me So far I just can't see You're so far away from me You're so far away from me, alright I'm tired of bein' in love and bein' all alone When you're so far away from me I'm tired of makin' out on the telephone 'Cause you're so far away from me You're so far away from me You're so far I just can't see You're so far away from me You're so far away from me, alright And I get so tired when I have to explain When you're so far away from me See you've been in the sun and I've been in the rain And you're so far away from me you're so far away from me You're so far I just can't see You're so far away from me You're so far away from me, take it down So far away from me Oh, you're so far away from me Yeah, you're so far away from me So far away from me You're so far... and you're so far away from me You're so far... so far away from me You're so far away from me So far away from me You're so far... so far away from me So far away from me You're so far... so far away from me Alright You're so far... you're just so far away from me
the one song i remeber as a little girl .. my dad usto play this song alot .. i dont forgive him but i miss the memories and the old him.. before he left .. and didnt think twice about me.. happy fathers day .. hope youre new family remembers ..
Always love Dire Straits! Thank you so much for all the musical gifts that you have given us, some of which show your love for humankind. God bless everybody from Patrick
The first song and a very moving one, that appeared on Dire straits 1985 album Brother's in Arms. It instantly went Platinum , very quickly, was loved by millions of Brits and it's certainly making sense to me now!
First heard this song in chilling morning at Darjeeling(INDIA) with cup of just brewed darjeeling tea. Can't forget that , keep listening it often. Thanks Mark knofler.
@@jasoncollett446 Awwww I want you forever. I will never give up on you even if it takes the eternity. I can't imagine a life without your love ❤ You're my everything, my boy.
good times back then enjoying this song at the dance club called banda in the city of Jundiaí São Paulo Brazil today I am 57 years old I really miss the guys and the slow songs dancing with the girls it was very good this time little violence we were true friends good times that never come back
So far away from me A sensational heart touching lyrics And music 🎵🎶 The whole group of Dire straits is mind blowing ,The drumming, base, Rythum guitars played fantastic Dire straits music enough for thirst and hunger God bless Dire straits God bless Ukraine and Ukrainian people for peace ✌️ peace and harmony 🙏
This song makes me think of the best friend I had or have. How we moved to the next level, this was a few years back we dated. We've known each other for 17 years, a few weeks ago he messaged me on Facebook messenger, wanting to get back together but I'm already with someone else with 2 kids, so sad that I had to turn him away. Because he was a friend , the first time we met, I remember his cousin told me that he liked me and he was going to ask me out. But never had a chance to do it cuz I transferred to a different high school. Two years later I go back , he's already with a girl friend and she was pregnant. Yeah. Then we dated 6 years ago, drinking ruined our relationship. Sad. I miss you my friend and sorry I had to turn away from you when you wanted to give it another shot from where we left off ....
I had to go a funeral about 30 years ago where this song was played during the service.it just about did me in asthe deceased person was murdered. Sad part was that the person that killed this innocent man still walks free today.so much for justice.
"I'm tired of being in love and being all alone, when you're so far away from me"- my situation at the minute, in a nutshell, and it's bloody horrible. I wouldn't wish it on me worst enemy.
Bartending for 10 years. Still my favorite song to hear in an empty bar along with rye bourbon on the rocks 💛
Bourbon 😋

Man.....the nostalgia!!!I hope you all get the same feeling in your hearts when you hear this song as I do.Its literally a physical sensation that almost makes me giddy with happiness.In 2020 the classics are the only thing that resemble the America I grew up in!!!
Love you dad. Singing this together on our long drives in the 1980s and 1990s.
These days people are not making such songs. What a shame!!!
Listening to this song after many years....feels like travelling back to my old neighborhood.....to my husband when we were young.
Listening this on quarantine, falling in love with someone fron another country. SAD.
Get somebody local..... i used to have a business and was always looking got businesses elsewhere, to no avail, started looking for clientele near home and my businesses boomed...i know that isn't the same thing... but kinda...

If a song doesn't move you emotionally then you're not listening to the right song.
I grew up listening to this great band

What’s the other song?
Here I am again in this mean old town
And you're so far away from me
And where are you when the sun go down?
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
So far I just can't see
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me, alright
I'm tired of bein' in love and bein' all alone
When you're so far away from me
I'm tired of makin' out on the telephone
'Cause you're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
You're so far I just can't see
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me, alright
And I get so tired when I have to explain
When you're so far away from me
See you've been in the sun and I've been in the rain
And you're so far away from me
you're so far away from me
You're so far I just can't see
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me, take it down
So far away from me
Oh, you're so far away from me
Yeah, you're so far away from me
So far away from me
You're so far... and you're so far away from me
You're so far... so far away from me
You're so far away from me
So far away from me
You're so far... so far away from me
So far away from me
You're so far... so far away from me
Alright
You're so far... you're just so far away from me
the one song i remeber as a little girl .. my dad usto play this song alot .. i dont forgive him but i miss the memories and the old him.. before he left .. and didnt think twice about me.. happy fathers day .. hope youre new family remembers ..

This made a grown ass man cry..
I feel those words..
The song has a very special place in my heart I love the song It's a guilty pleasure
for such simple lyrics it turned out to be such an impactful emotional song. its simply put, its like sighing and singing at the same time.
Chugas Fury that is a very good way to put it!
I total agree with you
The best songs convey the biggest concepts using the simplest words.
Dire Straits has so many good songs but I could just listen to Mark play guitar and be happy.
Nice song***love his voice**
Sally Hegotule Mark Knopfler does have a sexy voice
THIS SONG IS SO UNDERESTIMATED! IT'S GR8!
In this song, the Roland TR-808 was heard.
Another classic song by a even classic rock band. Thanks mark knoffler boy's rock on
Us Cunningham's know good music brother

Kathleen Franklin one day
Everyone gets the payback for what they have dun. Good or bad..
Remember that :)
Damn.....I don't have a word for that unfairness.....perhaps God knows why.
