Mark Knopfler - Two Pairs Of Hands (Official Video)

'Two Pairs Of Hands' is the third track released from Mark Knopfler’s new album, One Deep River, out now.

We got the roller coaster piling along
The power and the glory with the song
Holy moly where did the time go?
I told you baby, now you know

I’m keeping the balls in the air
When I’m up here on the band
There’ll be a little bit here and there
I’ll still be trying to understand
But they’ll all be in the air
When I’m up here on the band
What it is, I’m juggling here
I’ve only got two pairs of hands

There’s a pin-drop, they follow a thread
And a lone voice cries out overhead
When the thunder bursts in the velvet night
There’s joy and wonder and delight

I’m keeping the balls in the air
Trying to keep up with the band
There’ll be a little bit here and there
Might get covered by the drifting sand
But they’ll all be in the air
When I’m up here on the band
What it is, I’m juggling here
I’ve only got two pairs of hands

They’re back in the streets and into the bars
The trams and the trains and back in their cars
Holy moly, where did the time go?
I told you baby, now you know

I’m keeping the balls in the air
Trying to keep up with the band
There’ll be a little bit here and there
Might get covered by the drifting sand
But they’ll all be in the air
When I’m up here on the band
What it is, I’m juggling here
I’ve only got two pairs of hands

A song by 75 years old legend, better than the whole contemporary music industry

[francescopaolociampone]

To whoever is listening to this song now, wherever you are.... Sending you love, peace, healing and all good wishes. May your life be good❤

[RaraAvisMS]

Dear Mark, 44 years ago I fell in love with the boy who introduced to me the new /then/ album Communiqué. We got married, because of it. Our son Mark was named after you. Your music was and will always be part of our life.

[evgenrysich]

Эх.. Время никого не щадит. Но подходя к зеркалу понимаю, что это касается и меня самого.. Марк - один из величайших музыкантов нашего времени. Огромное уважение. Здоровья ему и долгих лет жизни💚💚💚🙏🙏🙏

[BlueThailand]

When a guitarist has nothing left to prove about his skills, he plays from the heart and shares his music with others. BIG THANKS

[ratpackva]

Anyone who doesn’t love this man and his band doesn’t appreciate wonderful music

[Raker]

Greetings from the land of headhunters of Borneo! You’ve been a constant companion in the loneliness of the jungle. Awesomeness Mark

[georgebelmonte]

When you’re the greatest guitar player of all time, people don’t call you the greatest guitar player of all time, they call you Mark Knopfler

[ufukylmaz]

As a 20 year old Turkish guy, I promise you my children will hear a lot of your music at my home in future!

[lazur]

No tricks, no complexity, no show-off chops; Knopfler's maintained interest for decades with a pocketful of great new riffs every time.

[davidmorrow]

Look at them ol geezers! That's the way you do it. You play the geetar on the ol YouTube.

[Jinkabel]

Am I alone in feeling my blood pressure go down a few points when I hear Mark Knopfler play? Mellow, but not at all boring. Masters at flash required.

[iggypep]

Время не властно над его голосом и талантом! Респект! Здоровья и творческого долголетия!!!

[MsRouder]

Мне 60, я слушаю Марка давно, человек легенда, а голос не стареет никогда! 👍 👍 👍 ❤

[Vladimir.Silkin]

Эх, Дедуля.... Продолжай радовать своим Творчеством как можно дольше! Ты Один такой неповторимый и сразу узнаваемый! Марк Здравия!!!

[fika]

75 лет дедушке Марку !!! А голос, мастерство, талант над этим всем время не властно !!! Господи храни этого человека, нам на Марк-Великий!

[SPOPictures]

you can recognize the sound of this guitar with your eyes closed

[shanesmith]

Finally. A new song that's worth listening to. Oh, but wait. It's from a classic rock genius, not a new group. Imagine that.

[alanmartin]

Mark meets JJ Cale - what more can you possibly want!? 👍👍🎵🎵🎸🎸

[germangeldman]

Ветераны рока никогда не перестанут удивлять ! Я наверное никогда не полюблю современных исполнителей . Да, безусловно среди них есть таланты, но что они создали, что переживет их и останется эталоном на десятилетия ? Марк, я люблю вашу музыку 40 лет и она останется в моем сердце до конца ! Спасибо!
