Anyone else listening to this masterpiece in 2024
😮 4/14/24❤
me in may 2024
I was 76 years old when I was diagnosed with stage 4 Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. A dear friend recommended that my wife and I listen to Mark Knopfler’s music. I had never heard about Mark Knopfler before and so I’ve started listening to him and it was amazing how how he kept me out of my head and put me straight into my heart through the process of simply listening to his words and music. It helped me take care myself I spite of cancer and after 6 months I was cancer free. I’m still listening to Mark Knopfler and I will listen to him for the rest of my life.
❤❤❤
I am so, so glad to know you are now cancer free! I am praising God for your miraculous recovery! I just turned 65 ... today ... and I have just now found Mark Knopfler and I am really enjoying him! I will keep listening to him and I'm sure your story will add fuel to this new flame! God bless you!
@user-im6ei1kl7t
I am headed to my final colonoscopy I suspect because my genetic colon cancer has grown Sand spread..it hurts..I am filled with hope, but deep down I know that zI will not win this battle..this was a Good Life and this enchanting music makes me glad hearted. I am 70 and alone, but not fearful..
@@Patricia-go3wg I am praying for you! God bless you! No you are not alone.
Hope the faith is on you Always.
I’m 26 years old and own every album on vinyl and cd. One of the greatest musicians of all time . And I will keep this music alive by sharing it with my children.
This was my first love song, I met a swiss girl in summer in spain, and when she cames back to switzerland I wrote for her letters of love while I was listening this song in my room. Her name was Juliette. I was 14 years old, now I'm 50. And thiss song made me remember her... ❤
First loves are special, I had mine in summer camp at 12 years old. Innocent and sweet. 😊
Bitter/Sweet
Mark : "I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be"...
Also Mark : writes one of the greatest love songs of all time.
Kinda angry bon Jovi copied this line in always
All I do is kiss you ...through the bars of a ryme😢
just great guitar, love song is irellavent
@@gege4707it might be irrelevant to you but it’s not irrelevant to millions of other people!
Just about to write the same. Probably the greatest love song I ever heard. Been going back to this one since I was a teen in the late 80s. No one has summed up the naive love of a young dude like this song.
Dire Straits was the soundtrack to my teens. I'm now 61. I hope I'm not alone in that putting headphones on and listening to the skill, art and absolute magic of Mark and his guitar transports me to a place....there is nothing but the raw emotion this song evokes. I will be forever grateful.
How fast it went 🥲
For sure not alone, I do same and I am 66
Muito linda ouço todo dia
He has some magical transcendental touch that words cant quite explain. Such a rare and unique talent. Dude raise my fur and makes me weep. Dude is one of a kind!
You are not alone brother. Word for word, including the age.
I'm 70 years old and I was never a big Dire Straits fan, frankly never listened to enough of their music. About two years ago this song kept popping up on my RUclips suggestions. I finally listened to it even though I didn't even know who Mark was. So glad I did, I have become a bit obsessed with his music ever since. I know some people here loved this music when they were 3 days old. All I can say is better late than never.
So glad you found this master of music!! Mark is so much more than Dire Straits!!
Dig deeper it's the imagery...... Check out Telegraph road there's a cool Thorens recording here on you tube Check out Baloney again....Ck out.blackbird the Man is 1 of the Greatest musicians all time
57 here, loved Dire Straits in the late 70s, 80s.. but then fell away. Music is my soul soother, this certainly helps.
Never too late ! I'm a fan since 35 years, this guy is the best !
good for you, enjoy..
About 20 yrs ago I was talking to an English guy in a pub in California. He mentioned that he was on his way to see Mark Knopfler in concert and asked if I was a fan. I replied that I was a casual fan of Dire Straits etc. The look of incredulity that came over his face, I'll never forget. He then goes to the jukebox and plays 5 or 6 Knopfler tunes back to back and says nothing while they play. At the end, looks at me and says, are you a fan yet? Well, here I am writing about it 20 yrs later.
lol
That is an awesome story! Thanks for sharing!
Born in Scotland
what place where you in that still had a jukebox in 2000. Good story, but I smell a load of BS
@@Gantzz321 Lots of bars and pubs in 2000 had juke boxes and some still do.
The best beautiful intro... That piano... Oh man... This is a masterpiece ❤
Probably the best line ever written, "all I do is kiss you, through the bar
s of a rhyme " Then says it all again through his guitar. This is why Mark is such a genius. ❤
Mr Knopfler at his peak. This is my favorite live version of this timeless song.
his peak was 25 years ago
I lost my husband last month and listening to this amazing plangent melody provides real balm for the soul. Beyond beauty- the real music of the spheres. Thank you forever guys ❤
love and light sweet lady!
He will be with you always. Whenever you hear this wonderful music from Mark and Emmylou. God bless you.
This is a song for the soul. Praying for you.
ME 2, GOD BLESS YOU.😢
I am so sorry for your loss.. may his souls rest in peace, and may the pain of his passing one day melt away and leave behind the fondest memories of your time together ❤
Ah, the keyboard work... He can surround himself with such superb session musicians. Lovely man.
Cried my eyes out to this in 82, battered by unrequited love as a teenager. 40 years later I still have a tear in my eye, and can sing it word for word 💕
🥰same here, those were the days we'll never forget x
I get that. The folk you really feel for, yearn for, that feeling NEVER leaves you even after decades. DECADES
Absolutely the same 😂.... Still the best chat up line in history!
Tim, algo parecido me tocó pasar, lee mi comentario
Mark Knopfler on guitar makes me teary and I don't know why. It's just so...beautiful.
Not many artist from this day and age can do that, it’s something special to be able to do that
Y'all I think he's my lost 'soulmate' ☺️😊😁🤗😎
That's because he plays with his heart ❤️ and soul, the greatest guitarist off all time, nobody comes close
He can make the Guitar Sing. Along with His Beautiful Voice only a few Others can do this, like D.Gilmore, Bruce S, etc.
It's 2023 and it's definitely one of the best songs of all time, a total masterpiece. It never gets old.
Only started listening to this in November. At first it took a while for me to appreciate it but now I can’t stop playing it. Something about the beat, melody and lyrics that just keep me coming back. I don’t know much music but I find this one to be more complex and have more detail. I can’t describe it I haven’t heard a song like it.
Next karaoke song for sure
" Singing up at people like that." What a class line.
What A God Given Gift, the ability to create music is.
AGREED!! They amaze me
Jeans, a comfortable shirt, no distractions just musical genius. What a privilege to have grown up with artists like Mark Knopfler
Well the other guy kind of has a flashy shirt not hating just saying lol
Not a fan of the trend of theatrics and choreography. I want true musicians who play off each other and give their all to the music being made. I always wanted to be one, never had the guts to follow it. I respect them very much.

Mark must be the best ever well he is in my book.
He looks like my late uncle Arne here, his face, body and demeanour (A. died aged ninety a few years ago). The two had the same kind of wry, unsentimental charm and practical hands (playing the guitar and arranging music for Mark, electrical & construction engineering, cars and gardening for my uncle). Needless to say, this detail make the song and this great performance even more poignant to me.
And yes, this is a superb take of the song by all hands on deck. The only aspect I could be missing is to get to see Emmylou Harris step in and take part in it too (yeah, I know they were touring together and that she sat out on this one).
One of the most beautiful songs ever made.
Definitely. Never gets old
I remember coming home when I was about 17 (2001) singing this and my mum was so chuffed! "you've discovered real music" she said. RIP Mum, one of a thousand memories x
Nice share. Honour to moms !
❤
tube clickbaiter
I was chuffed when my son bought Brothers in Arms CD. He was heavily into clubbing music at the time which made it even more admirable. He's long left home now and I still haven't got my own copy. Must rectify that.
@@bohomaturebabesimplesmente amo
I once heard Mark Knopfler in an interview acknowledge that there is no way he would have made it in the music business today. That says more about the rotten state of the music business than it says about the creative guitar genius who wrote songs as graceful and poignant as this, Romeo and Juliet. Thank God my generation had the taste and ability to recognise what is distinctive and timeless.
Uuuuuuhhhhhh……I think he could have hahah he might not have gotten a label right away but look at the hundreds of millions of views and BILLIONS of streams. People feel his humble, amazing talent and soothing songwriter to this day. I play music out and I see younger people perk up to his music.
huh, what in the devil are you on about. Firstly there are far more methods of music distribution in the world today than there were in 1978 when Dire Straits were releasing their first album. Nowadays a fella can release just about anything on youtube or bandcamp and the world will be able to access it. Uhh yea thats all I have to say, dogshit take, L uhhh yea I like pizza and happy new years love sam
Agree - he wouldn't have made it past a small cult reputation today, neither as a solo artist nor with the original band. When Dire Straits came along they were actually seen as the antithesis of everything that was hot and happening in the music biz, everything you were supposed to be as a young band. A bunch of laid-back men approaching thirty, playing jazz/country /blues-tinged songs with low-key, half-muttered lyrics and the primary attraction was Mark's technically flawless, rolling guitar playing. It was 1977/78 and you couldn't have *got* further from punk! Music journalists who saw them at early gigs before they had been signed brushed them off as "competent but boring", The lyrics were about jazz bands, life in Newcastle and un-hip local northern artists ("In the Gallery").The rock press felt it was a kind of music that might have been played fifteen years earlier, before even the Beatles came along.
Dire Straits was the kind of stuff that Punk was NOT, and punk was more or less where you "had to be" as a young band at that time. The debut album and their first singles were true surprise hits, both in the UK and across Europe, and they were picked up by people at FM radio stations (a type of music mixing that barely exists today when radio has become far more streamlined). No, they wouldn't have had a chance of breaking through to a major-label contract and big hits today, the music/media biz has long since stopped working that way.
well put and accurate.
He also said he was lucky that he came into music as an 'adult' and can see how young people get led astray
This is not a song. This is a prayer.
AMEN TO THAT COMMENT. HE TRULY IS THE BEST.
It truly is just lovely❤
Yes of course 😢
This must be the most beautiful version of Romeo and Juliet. One of few songs that actually makes me cry, especially this one
One of the most beautifull lovesongs of music history - for sure!!!!!!!!
The opening piano is just amazing, I can't stop replaying it
What a privilege it is to be alive in the same era as Mr Knopfler.
I had the privilege to have met him in several occasions and also having my CD signed by him
Ditto.......
This is the most romantic song ever written ❤
Mark, I honor your many years of service. I am 82 and still love every minute of your songs. God Bless You.❤
In addition to boundless thanks to Mark Knopfler for his genius and humility, I'll offer a shout-out to the audio engineers who captured this live masterpiece in all its glory so that we mortals can enjoy it forever.
Increíble sound
An absolute musical genius. My late father called Mark Knopfler the greatest music writer and guitarist of his generation. I'd be close to saying THE greatest. I have so many great family memories and in alot of them I can clearly remember dire straits setting the background ambiance. Even lying on his death bed dying from cancer my father had his portable stereo beside him playing dire straits till his end. I believe it kept him in a state of peace. And at his funeral he was walked out to Why Worry. So thank you Mr Knopfler for blessing us with your music. I truly do appreciate it. I hope to one day save enough money to buy a guitar good enough to do your music justice and learn to play sultans of swing. I'll go sit with my dad and play it to him.
your father had a good taste....
No matter to buy a guitar : MUSIC IS IN THE WIND FOREVER catch it or not
Worthy child of a worthy father👍
God given talent, Music that will still be played, long after you and I have gone. transcends space and time
You don’t need the guitar. Just build a playlist on your phone. Lean against his headstone, put on the headphones, and think about him as each song plays. You’re a very good son,
That legitimately made me cry. Good going. My brother plays his guitar at my younger brother's grave each year. Its so freaking heart felt and meaningful. Do it.
I listen to Romeo & Juliet every night before bedtime & I go to sleep smiling thinking about how you can have a love you just can't forget. Thank u for this special song Mark Knoffler Knopfler!
I'm listening again and again!! I'm 68 & Love Mark"s Songs. Chills down My Spine, weaping for My lost Romeo. God Bless You Mark for the BEST LOVE SONGS EVER.
It’s 4/22/23 and I’ve watched this performance 100s of times. Never fails to bring joy, melancholy, peace and happiness to my soul.
♥️Touché♥️
Agreed!.. My neighbor across the hall always jammed them, 1982, borrowed that vinyl often ! 🤙
Amen.
Even though Emmylou is not there
Amen
Half the world loves mark ...the other half hasn’t found him yet
Hello Linda, how are you doing. I'm Jones from Virginia. I hope you are doing well and staying safe. I'm looking for new friend hope you don't mind
Just found him again
Tell it like it is Linda.....
Half the world loves Mark, the other half like David Gilmour 😀
@@andrewmuir3864 that might work too
8 years old. I didn't know. 13 years old, I heard Brother's in Arms. cable had not even trenched MTV into my house yet. rebellious. drugs. truant. a fan. 2024. 51 years old. Thank you. I love you.
This was the song playing as my mum passed away. We put an Emmylou playlist on as that was her favourite artist and this song came on and she passed just as it ended. Hopefully it was dad walking her into heaven.
No one has ever touched the strings with the same love that you have over the years, Mark. It has been a privilege to witness that love over the years. It has kept me playing and searching for that passion for 50 years and counting. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Knopfler’s guitar playing is so clean and restrained but still so powerful. Sad to see the music industry moving away from true musical artists such as him.
Check out Dan Navarro. Folk song writer/singer. A musical hero to me. Not the megastar like Mark, but his writing compares.
Agreed.
Your so right.when mark is gone and David Gilmore is gone and Eric Clapton is gone and Brian may is gone who is going to continue what they have done.
When they coined the phrase "make the guitar sing" it was because true artists delivered more emotion through the sound of the insrumentals than through vocals/lyrics. Today music is a lost art.
@@totalprocall6894 You are correct.
Thank you Mark Knopfler for showing us what grown-up music and musical genious looks like. What a gift.....
This man captures the heart of humanity. Thank you Mr. Knopfler.
Mark Knopfler just stands there as relaxed as someone taking a leak - no puffed up egotistical jerk there...that is raw talent and a humble modest artist - the likes we seldom see.
100% agree, just doin his thing witout any gimmiks, pure and real
Probably one of the best artists i know of
I would say "polished talent".
I love that. Just standing there singing his song, and playing along. It doesn't need any theatrics
Most definitely,a cut above the rest❣
How can you listen to a song 1000 times & fall in love with it every time like you just heard it for the first time??? 💯🔥🌹
Completely 💖 it's insane
I listen to this song everynight. It never gets tiring
Because it reaches your heart over and over again.
Because it speaks to all of us...touches us. The lyrics hold a special meaning we recognize in our own life experience. Better to have loved and lost....
it's autism
That piano intro at the beginning makes my heart melt. It's bloody beautiful 🥰
"I can't do everything, but I'd do anything for you.
I can't do anything except be in love with you"
I remember when I first heard this song and this lyric specifically.
What an incredible feeling and thought to have for another.
This is the ultimate compliment to give someone.... I hope to feel this way one day.
This song is without doubt one of the greatest of the 20th Centuary and probably of all time .
Agree!!!!
Naaah you're wrong. Brothers in arms takes that. Was right on the zeitgeist with those lyrics
@@ronaldcarfoot4429 Both are heartbreakers...for me Romeo and Juliet rules
Without a doubt. And that intro just adds to it 👌
@@ronaldcarfoot4429 Absolutely: Its a shame the mastering on the album version is so quiet - I have an MP3 version which I have turned the levels up 50% and it is even more epic and foreboding....
Reminds me of when my husband & I used to listen in the car to this over & over-I lost him in 2020 to cancer at age 58. Wait for me my Gareth. Love you always & forever xx ❤️
What a beautiful memory ❤️
Nice x
bless you for sharing ,
Awww 😭❤️❤️
😪😪❤❤ Now, I'm crying. That is so sad to hear.
One of the Greatest Song Ever Created. Sir Mark is the best guitarist ever. Amazing. Masterpiece ❤
I totally agree , he is fantastic and what a song 🤩
So true!
indudablemente
Thanks to my musician boomer Mum, I’ve been listening to Mark my whole life. I’m now lucky enough to own one of the best headphone rigs available and this song, especially the intro is one of the best live demonstrations available! Even in crappy 320kbps YT format.
The guy’s a god.
This song never gets old... masterpieces rarely do. Guys and girls you gotta listen to Mark playing his instrumental Going Home, I lived with end stage heart failure from 42 until 52, and man that song listened to really loud felt like I was finally going home and rest and peace were within my grasp......I incredibly received a heart transplant 4 and a half years ago.... Going Home still brings a tear to my eye and joy to my adopted heart!! Peace and love to you all.
Beautiful story Anthony!! I know the song, its a masterpiece.. God speed!!
@@ferrydejagher2033 Thank you kindly Ferry, may you be blessed for your kind comments.
Wow, it’s amazing how certain songs mean so much. Hope your doing well
Hey man let us know how you're keeping these days. God bless.
❤❤❤
In this age of hip hop and all the other crap that passes as music these days, i am so pleased to have music like this around. This is so good, it actually makes my heart ache, but in a good way. Thank you for this master piece. 🙏
Believe me buddy, there are still enough people who appreciate this music. These masterpieces will never disappear. People like you and me will pass them on to the next generation. There will always be people who value good music and don't stupidly serve the mainstream.
Stay calm
AMEN
Your so correct 👍
How Dire Straits did not have more number ones is criminal! What a magnifcent talent Mark Knopfler is.
It's not about getting the number one spot It's all about the passion of pure music that tugs at the heart
they sold over 100m albums. I think they did ok.
2023: Mr. Knopfler is still one of the greatest musical geniuses in the world!
Every note is intentional. Every tone is pure.
One of the most talented guitarists and musicians of all time, no doubt about it.
Been listening to this for the last 30 odd years, they don’t write songs like this anymore. Absolute class xx
I first heard Dire Straits in high-school after a break up, amazing how your music helped with a broken heart. Now 36 years later your music helped with other heart breaks, marriage, divorce, marriage again, the births of my daughters, and the deaths of my mother and then my sister. Thank you for helping me, inspiring me, and inspiring my children.
My husband turned me on to Mark many years ago but when he turned me on to Romeo & Juliet my heart melted! I lost my husband to diabetes in 2019 and I can close my eyes while I listen to this song and he is right next to me. “And all I do is miss you……….”
Well said.
Same here!
Big love and strength x
:)
Sorry for your loss.
That piano intro is severely underrated! Would’ve loved to listen to that for longer even! Anyone knows if there is a longer version of it?
Not that I know of
I think it was written for this performance or maybe for the tour.
Certainly one of the most beautiful songs of all time.
concuerdo totalmente contigo. Indudablemente
Never stopped listening, regardless of the year
Knopfler has such an expressive voice. I love the way he puts such emotion into his ballads. You can just feel it in your heart.
I cannot speak highly enough about this man and those who stand on the stage with him. He is one of the very few artist's who doesn't have the need to stand front and center. He simply doesn't have that kind of ego. He allows those talented folks who back him to shine in their own brilliance. Don't see a great deal of that. Having said that, I'm of the opinion that every note he plays and every lyric he sings are wrapped in such passion and emotion. One does not just listen to his music.....they feel it. He draws me so far into his music and it's a place I choose to stay for a while. Simply my Mark Knopfler loving opinon::)) !! I'm forever grateful for his existence and the beauty he shares with us. He is on a level all his own! Now should I tell you how I really feel about this genius:::))) He shines brilliantly in my eyes.
YES to everything.
It is something of a paradox to me that I KNOW Mark Knopfler has a couple hundred million devoted fans - like you and like me - yet I still FEEL that he is badly underrated and unappreciated.
MissDistarr60 Hope you are aware of your ability to express yourself so simply & eloquently @ the same time. You summed up my thoughts exactly & of his many devoted fans.
MissDistarr60 I agree with your comments. Mark Knofler is an amazing guitarist with his unique style of playing and singing.
I thank you for your most kind words. For me, Mark Knopfler stands above the rest, so the words flow easily. I've found his music to be one of my best friends. Always there when I need it! I thank you again. Your reply is very much appreciated.
Love you he broke my heart
I'll be 80 this year and I first heard "Sultans of Swing" when I was in college. The most laid back rocker of all time and perhaps the greatest musician as well. Brothers in Arms is the greatest rock album I own.
This song hasn't aged a day. It still makes me think of one person in particular. A shot I never had the courage to take. She introduced me to this song and we both loved it. Bittersweet and beautiful.
So good
Oh lordy...21 years old and at Sussex University and madly in love with an American who had to head back home...and this killer hit was played everywhere.. still hits where it really hurts ..40 years later ( though I m married with adult children)...music does that to you.
Indeed
I can feel this pain. I was 16, I was obsessed, she loved me, I had already planned our lives together... and then her father moved away for a job and she was gone. At that moment a song was released in my country that translates to "I can't live in a world without you". Everytime I hear that song I have a few minutes of warm memories. Music is the greatest conveyor of emotions.
Yeah...World Cup 82 in Spain
How a song can reach deep inside you , so much so that words can’t express what music like this does for our souls , what a gift to be able , to give us all these wonderful emotions ❤
I was about 16 back in 1980 when I first heard Straits and Sultans of Swing. I was blown away. Like nothing I had ever heard before and I was hooked. Love Straits, always have and always will.
Mark Knopfler can be described perfectly with only two words: Absolute genius!
I don't think a song has ever impacted me as much as this one; forever a favorite ❤️
As long as your name is juillet... Lol
Yeah, this one and Angie by the Rolling Stones.
I can relate.. i have listened to it maybe 100 times but it never gets old, always gives me chills and sometimes brings me to tears.. the words and music are like an addiction.
I agree, it's that special.......
If dreams are like movies then memories are filmed about ghosts :-) x
One of the most beautiful love songs that have ever been and will ever be composed, painfully beautiful!
His language transcends any time and place, and speaks the universal language… Lyrics and music go straight to heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤❤❤
This brings back so many memories when i was young and the world was a much better place.
I could not get enough of the first single, "Sultans of Swing", from 1978. Godspeed Mark. From a drafted, disabled, and Republic of Vietnam combat veteran '68.
Welcome home from an old Navy veteran 68 to 72.
Yes, im here, i hear you
bless You!
Brothers in Arms breaks me down every time. So many friends left their blood in the soil of Southeast Asia.
Welcome home to all! We need u! Stick around!
I don't care what anybody says, Mark is the most under appreciated musician of his era. People think about "money for nothing" and songs like it when there are so many gems like this that are so much more...He is such a talented and yet humble man. He is like the father in law every kid wants to have. You know you'll never measure up and you're kind of ok with it.
🙏🏽🙏🏽
I don't know where you're from but Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits are the most celebrated British band ever. Mark Knopfler has never been "under-appreciated" by anyone.
who says they are under appreciated?? what a ridiculous comment
Underappreciated??........ I don't think so...
@@SuzyQ334 No con The Beatles y queen, así como también los rolling Stones, pero si está entre las mejores
Why are so many extraordinary talented musicians British? Gotta be something in the water.
I think that dobro was perfect sound and helped make this song one of the most beautiful Ive heard.
Amazing how Mark Knopfler can make a National guitar sounds like a mandolin.
when i was young i was in childrens homes and in care,, since i was 8... back in the 80's this mans music helped me through some pretty tuff times in my life,, and kept me moving on with my life,, in my eyes hes my hero,, on stage and on that guitar,, always be my hero.
I used to listen to the album over and over on my Walkman, while I was working. Still find myself humming and singing this song to myself.
...right on. I can relate to your comment, fully. I'm glad you came out the other side, as did I.
The hero everyone needs, the local hero...
i was also in a nuns institution since i was 4 till i became 18,hard times ! I"m 60 years old now,never forget...
You must listen this song: "Handle me with care, by Travelling Wilburys"
I highly recommed it!!!
I am a 65 years old korean when I watched his concert at france via televised HBO 30 years ago. He got me totally. Best musician, guitarist in century. Love to see him in 2022. My family still listening his song on our vacation.
I am a 65-year-old Londoner Oksik Kim and I agree with you. Just goes to show that rock music breaks down all international barriers. xxx
4:54 ... MarkKnopfler
am from Morocco, i do forget about English, but never forget the first time i've Heard this song, and the Album, i was 18 years old, a high school student ... now am 45 years old! still the same impressions, the same feeling;
I want to re-born mark knopfler
I've listened to his music since 1978, when I was 18. His songs tell stories, and the stories have meaning. I finally saw him in concert last year, and had tears rolling down my face. He is a treasure.
I listened to this song way back in 1981, when in the army...
Bought the vinyl, will never sell!
"All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme..."
Such a beautiful line....
This song is an all timer for me and this particular version is near the top!
I always loved that line too…my favorite line from the song
“I’d do the stars for you any time” is a pretty good follow up…
Yes, beautiful line, always loved it
They are celestial characters...melody..lyrics...Talent...Thanks so much...Mark K
That guitar is absolutely beautiful.
National Steel 1936 Resonator. I know, because my wife plays Guitar, loves Mark Knofler and craves one of them. National sells a replica for $3,500 or you may be able to find the genuine article for @$10,000; since so many people want one because of Mark.
This song is utter genius. The opening few bars - the blend of instruments.
They don’t do it like this anymore - this track will live forever…
1000% agree.
Yesss too true 🦖
Just why are we not doing music like this anymore?
Why are we even on the way of forgetting such music talents?

Mark Knopfler: I can’t do a love song, like the way it’s meant to be
Everyone: You just did.
Nobody can sing like the way its use to be
Fact
We said goodbye to my dad just over a year ago. He was a massive Dire Straights/Mark Knopfler fan; looking back he probably wanted to be him.. We recently scattered his ashes in his hideaway in Spain and one evening I was sat next to the open bbq alone for a few minutes after a few beers and this version of Romeo and Juliet came on my RUclips and I wished he was there to hear it; being the grumpy old technophobe, I know he wouldn't have heard this version before. What I do know though, having been passed his musical ear and the emotions that go with it, when that guitar tone comes in at 7:25 he would have been sat round that fire with me thinking the exact same thing and how wonderful it is. A lovely memory, and reminded of whenever I listen to it.
I don't think you will read this Mark, but thanks for creating a moment in time.
Mamma che bella! L'assolo finale è straordinario per melodia, pulizia, dinamica, armonia. Credo sia una delle più belle versioni in assoluto. Mark dimostra una volta di più che sotto il profilo armonico, melodico è impareggiabile, portando la chitarra elettrica a livelli incredibili per le emozioni che riesce a regalarti.
Truly one of the most stunning ballads of all time❤️
People like Mark (and also David Gilmour) they don’t have a clue on how important their music end up being on our lives. We just have to thank them for putting their gift to such a good use for the world. 🖤
I think they do have a clue to be fair when they look at their bank accounts lol. They know bro - not just on the money but they know
Live Forever Mark.
I agree
Or Neil Peart, drummer for Rush. He positively impacted so many people.

If Elvis was the king this guy is God
My daughter (19yrs old) says, “ Imagine a man writing a song like this for his women “... she is right. Powerful piece...
Ha! It’s really an incredible piece!
My 8 years daughter makes fun of me with Mike Knofler obsession. I think it will take her few years to love this music
Your daughter is very astute, she does listen with clarify ? It seems...
Your daughter gets it
It would b an amazing thing 2 b loved like that...
This is a symphony of modern music, Knopfler is a genius.
I just want to cry! The beauty of this song is fabulous ❤🎶⭐️💫🥂🌅🌠
Back again for a listen my beautiful song ❤
Mark Knopfler mastered the paradoxical art of restrained passion. His songs are so cool and understated, yet brimming with passion and emotion. And he's one of the great guitarists of all time.
Great statement!
Great observation....
M. Reid I just read a statement, maybe a Twitter post from Mark that said guitar teachers would hate his own-learned technique. But, he’s obviously a musical genius and mostly self-taught himself to be the maestro that he is. No one will ever play like him.
I would put him up there with Gilmour and Clapton. All Brits by the way. Maybe it's something they put in the water?
Perfectly put. 100%
I've shed warm tears of joy listening to this majestic performance.
Music should be the real religion of Humanity.
Thank you for these beautiful words 🙏
True, Knopler’s music makes me forget everything else and smile. It is beautiful n magical.
What a nice and kind sentiment...
So beautifully said
AMEN
