This song always hits me like a truck, from an emotional point of view. The best of the best ...

[sheldonboodle]

More than a guitar player, he is an excellent composer and an arranger that takes his skill to another level

[AndrewNutley-lfuy]

There are guitar players, there are great guitar players but there is only one Mark Knopfler

[liftedcjons]

Mark Knopfler showing why a song does not always have to have words in it.  Mark just said more words with his fingers in this 1 song than most singers can sing in there lifetime.

Truly the greatest guitar player I've ever heard, absolute perfection.
There will never be another like Mark Knopfler

[marius]

the absolute gold standard of this song, no bullshit, no saxophone frills, just the pure magic of guitar & piano interplay

[AIyos]

Others play guitar. Mark Knopfler makes it talk. 2025 who is still here? From Morocco with love. ❤❤❤🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦

[kevinferrie]

When companies like Fender and Gibson make their guitars 🎸, I don’t think they could ever imagine the magic that Mark would produce with them.

[cr-yiep]

The first time I heard this version it brought tears to my eyes. It still does.

[petergough]

This is a sheer MASTERPIECE just beautiful.🇬🇧

[LukaNikoTech]

Who is here in 2024 dreaming with this wonderful music? ❤🎶🧡🎵💚🎶💜🎵🖤🎶🤍

[delmanulty]

This is the most beautiful, haunting, moving, and emotional instrumental ever. I can listen to it over and over and it still gives me goose bumps.
The genius of Mr Mark Knopfler

[joakim]

I wish I could stand in front of a huge audience in a white T shirt and play like this.
Every note in this song is made of gold.

[ConstantinCatalin]

The Mozart of our times... there's nothing more beautiful than this .. nothing.

[wbravo]

I need therapy, if this ain't music perfection please tell me what is? How can one of modern musics great guitarists, write and play something so beautiful. I am bereft of ideas. So melodic, so passionate, and it is played live. If it was a studio a version I could understand the quality, over dubs, but live? I'm gunna put this song under my pillow and lull myself to sleep for

One special night in 1993, Mark Knopfler outshined all the stars in the sky with this masterpiece

[carlosmario]

Mi papá solía escuchar esta canción en silencio en la sala de la casa, el me enseñó de toda esta música de los 60, 70 y 80, el falleció hace 2 meses, lo extraño mucho, te quiero mucho papá, gracias por todo 💔

[benesorensen]

This may be the best melody in the whole world. This is a masterpiece and I will listen to it until the day I die. Maybe after if thats possible🤍

[desmo]

I've loved that since the 1st time I heard it...never get tired of it

[guiemlarch]

This was the first song I ever heard. It should be the last one. Best way to come. Best way to leave.

Thanks Mark for this masterpiece.
