He also play in smaller venues so the acoustic are better. He made all the money he’ll ever need me on MTV. I think he plays whatever in his heart. I be that he magical. He can make his point without saying a word.
Yes the first time I heard Dire Straits we all commented on the guitar & how unique the sound was. He has been around a while now, his sound is so unique . The soundtrack to Local Hero has to be one of the greatest bits of music of the last century . This guy is just brilliant.
Real musicians, real instruments playing real music. 🥹 I saw Mark here in Wuerzburg in 2010 live. Watching his fingers play guitar from 3 Meters distance, I will remember this evening till the end of my days!
This piece of musical genius is approaching 40 years old, and like other great Rock pieces never fails to sound totally freaking awesome. Thank you Mark Knopfler.👍
As I left scotland nov.1995 5 months later had major brain surgery that night on the plain ride my cousin had slipped in a cd and I played going home as we departed glasgow! As I think how I almost never made it back brings me chills to this day
This brilliant piece of music sounds great at any volume, low or high or anywere in between, and I to have had this at full blast while driving and sounds amazing to, what a musician Mark knopfler is
Going home … Saint James’ Park… Local hero… Newcastle United… the players come on to the pitch with this song playing around the stadium… goosebumps… pure bliss … how a song can’t be any better 🙏🏻
I love how over the years the great “song” has evolved. Mark definitely plays with it . I suspect it’s my favourite piece of music. I have the Local Hero CD which this tune is the basis of. He is a master of his art.
Agree, DS used to end their shows with this from the early 80s onwards with the road crew taking the microphones down during the song ! MK plays it on a Les Paul now rather than a Strat and I like the way the arrangement has changed to reflect the larger band he plays with nowadays, such as the brass section. But even in DS days he used to evolve songs over the course of a few tours.
Musica senza tempo né spazio né confini, la ascolti e ti elevi ad un piano superiore della realtà, l'anima vola in alto dove nulla può scalfirla né ferirla. Immenso Mark Knopfler
Happy New Year Dad......I started last year and I play this every year at new year for my Dad who passed away on 7th January - a huge Newcastle United fan who loved Spain ❤
May your dad rest in peace my dad is in very poor health right now it will be tough to lose him. God bless and live your life for your dad we will all meet up when it’s our time to go home. God bless from South Carolina 🙏🏻
@Giniminimanemo Your reply made me cry, I was very touched. His first anniversary just on 7th past there was hard and I cried but I also spent alot of time remembering all of our happy times. He was my absolute world.
@@certavietvici2708 Thank you, yes and when I see him again all I want him to feel is proud ❤ Cherish every moment with your dad and make sure you tell him you love him before he passes and thank him for being a great dad. I did and although we aren't a soppy family normally, I don't regret it for a second
I fall in love with this song all over again, every time I hear it, and it still has the power to bring tears every single time. It strikes a deep chord in me just like Rhapsody in Blue does. Grabs my heart. Just brilliant!
Being Scottish this brings a tear. Mark Knopfler spent some of his early years in Glasgow. I saw him in conversation with the Scottish musician, Phil Cunningham, Mark’s Scottish accent became stronger as the conversation went on!
It has changed in the time , that’s part of its appeal he varies it . I saw a slowed down version at Goodwood racing track where he was honouring Stirling Moss. An absolute master musician.
@@alanjones5786 I had Pennan on my list to goto, Unfortunately that day I had a bad cold & just drove straight to Inverness. I was going to drive up from Aberdeen,Mallaig is definitely on my next trip . I love Scotland , My father was a Mustang pilot during World War 11 and used to train in Scotland. I am Australian but love the place from Edinburgh north .
From hearing it first in 1986 when I watched Local Hero the first time, to finding it again in the album, online and RUclips... It can never ever fail to hit deep within my soul and raise the spirit. Always my go to tune in all situations of my life. True blue fan of Mark Knopfler always.
Prabhjit, when I saw it at the cinema, I waited to watch the credits to see where it was made, the following week I went to Mallaig and Arisaig. Beautiful.
Was there ever a rock and roll front man as humble as Mark? He always seems to appreciate who he is playing with and allows them to shine. By all accounts, he is a genuine good fella.
This old Dire Straits fan has never met MK or any of the other band members. But by all accounts he's a lovely bloke ... and his talent is without question. Stay safe, stay sane my friends. xxx
Possibly only locals will be able to understand: Approaching Vienna by car at nighttime from the hills in the southwest over the A21 highway, coming home from a trip, seeing the lights of the city below and streaming 'Going Home' in the cars sound system never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Thank you for that masterpiece.
Best Music from the best Gitarre Player of the World, he makes Music from the bottom of His Heart, and He can make Play the Gitarre you think the 🎸 cry, For me the best Song Writer and all Titels are for me Hits and makes the World nicer when I hear him!!! Mark Knopfler I hope I can hear you one Time more, but I thinking of a lot of Gigs with Him, every Time and every day!!I hear Him Live with Dire Straits 12 Times in Germany and Switzerland, and I hear him Solo with the Band 20 Times, at last 2019/ 8 Juli in Stuttgart Schleyerhalle and I thinking not the last Tour from him, he says in Stuttgart he are tired but he will play for us, so what can i do?? "I Play for you (Mark Knopfler!!) so I hope every Day and Year, he comes after Corona to play one Tour in Europe again for us!!!
Happy birthday dearest Mark 72 years old today.Hope your having a fantastic day where ever you are.Keep on rocking dear friend.You are loved by many.💓💖💕❤️💗💞🌹❣️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️
A simple start. Mark shows them the way and soon all of the instruments are playing their part. Mark backs off and let's them run on their own. An amazing journey back home after what could be a long period of pain and struggle. A classic soundtrack to life.
Crying and listening to knopfler thinking of my dad when I saw your comment. We are 3 weeks out from loosing our dad😢 we would listen to knopfler while he did his transfusions. He loved Poor Boy Blues:) we played it and If This Is Goodbye at his memorial. We laughed and cried. May God bless you and give you peace!
Thank You Mark for your wonderful music and your professionell guitarr playing. Also many thanks to your musical partners who delivers all this muscical experience to me. Whenever I listen to your music I feel so god, it makes me happy. I thank you from all of my heart. Linnéa, 73
Cuando la sabiduría y la experiencia se une a la frescura y la juventud con tanto respeto y admiración mutua salen maravillas como esta. Más que música. El Maestro Mark Knopfler.
I brought my children to watch him in Dublin, they had been listening to my old music collection as they grew up, there wasn’t a dry eye between them. Probably the best concert of any sort that I have been at. Yes we had better music than they do today.
Maravillosa canción que me sigue acompañando desde hace ya 40 años y sigo teniendo las mismas sensaciones que el primer día que la escuche. Muchas gracias Mark Knopfler por esta y tantas buenas canciones que has compuesto.
Dedicada a todos los que están pasando por momentos difíciles, luchando por una enfermedad un trabajo un amor una desesperación una tristeza ... los llamo héroes... Papá hasta la muerte y más allá...
A beautiful piece of music.Lifts the heart with pure joy.❣️He is a pure Genius and I love him very much you don't have to know someone to love them ! 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
18 yrs on the Moray Firth, climbing those mountains, canoeing those rivers, swimming in the sea, skiing, riding, motorcycling, watching this movie being made, this track always bring back the memories😊❤️❤️❤️🥲
@@cosmoshfa88savant66 I meant no disrespect. I know he had to learn & practice himself. I just believe certain talents are that great that maybe u r born with something God gives to people. He is fabulous!
Plays it because he loves to. No ego, no attitude just a fantastic humble musician with pure talent. Never to be surpassed
He plays to earn money!
Money for nothing@@sjefhendrickx2257
Thank you Mark Knopfler for bringing joy into all of our lives. Your music will live forever!!
❤👌
American entertainers should learn from the best. No fancy clothes. Not blasting fireworks. Just plain good to the soul music
He also play in smaller venues so the acoustic are better. He made all the money he’ll ever need me on MTV. I think he plays whatever in his heart. I be that he magical. He can make his point without saying a word.
@@keithcampbell7820 most of which are contempories of Mark Knoffler. always the super critic , love the the bitchy Comment about Spain
@@keithcampbell7820 Minor point but Rush are Canadian, Yes are English as is Eric Clapton.
These "entertainers " you mention are boring , that why they need all that side crap
@@keithcampbell7820
It amazes me how you can hear a guitar and know who's playing it. Mark Knopfler not only plays it he touches something deep inside you with his music.
The conquest of souls. Music with talent and quality.
Music that goes deep inside you. And makes you living with a 6th sense in other dimensions
Yes the first time I heard Dire Straits we all commented on the guitar & how unique the sound was. He has been around a while now, his sound is so unique . The soundtrack to Local Hero has to be one of the greatest bits of music of the last century . This guy is just brilliant.
Yeah.....I only wish he were playing it in my living room!! 🥰👏🏻👏🏻
Yes a real player.not a keyboard enhanced dick.gotta give it to the man,better than Jesus at least we know Mark is real and has effect on people 😀
The guitar maestro and the poet all rolled into one
Absolutely one of the greatest guitarists of all time. He’s amazing.
No doubt
Mark Knopfler.
The best!
Going home was and will always be a masterpiece.
Yes all persons if you out in your home you pried all Days long to going in your home a gain.
Real musicians, real instruments playing real music. 🥹
I saw Mark here in Wuerzburg in 2010 live. Watching his fingers play guitar from 3 Meters distance, I will remember this evening till the end of my days!

Mark gets older, but his music stays intact. Legend!!

one of the most beautiful songs ever written and played
This tune never fails to bring a lump to my throat. Every time I drive home I've got to play it full blast and always with a sense of pride

Being Scottish this brings a tear.
Mark Knopfler spent some of his early years in Glasgow. I saw him in conversation with the Scottish musician, Phil Cunningham, Mark’s Scottish accent became stronger as the conversation went on!

It has changed in the time , that’s part of its appeal he varies it . I saw a slowed down version at Goodwood racing track where he was honouring Stirling Moss. An absolute master musician.
