In this song Mark is just the narrator, it's the guitar that does the singing.

[tullfan]

No one ever touched a fretboard like Mark Knopfler. He feels his way through the song with both his guitar and voice. And he nails the beauty out of the sadness of war. He wrings every last bit of emotion out of the notes without ever overdoing it.

[antonklekar]

Not only is Mark Knopfler one of the greatest musicians - a finger plucking virtuoso guitarist on electric and acoustic guitar - Mark is also one of the greatest storytelling songwriters covering a wide range of musical genres. Most of his songs are storytelling masterpieces interwoven with lyrical musical solos.

Word is the song was inspired by the Falklands War of 1982, but it could be from the point of view of any soldier on any battlefield ever. It's rare for a (relatively) contemporary song to have such a timeless quality.

😢 I've heard this dozens of times and still...it gets me. As musicians, we hope to connect with people. He emotes so powerfully, that the connection is immediately imminent. Your reaction was absolutely spot on Aaliyah. 🌹

[Randsurfer]

Mark's specific technique produces the most beautiful guitar sound. It is mesmerizing to watch him play. It seems something magical is going on.

[Neil_BT]

My local radio station always plays this directly after the silence on Armistice Day. Hugely moving.

Nobody builds a vibe incrementally better than Dire Straits. By the end the song is elevated significantly without even noticing it...for more upbeat, Romeo and Juliet, Sultans of Swing (live), Telegraph Road, Love Over Gold

[larsscholz]

One of the most beautiful duets in rock and pop history... Marks singing and his guitar singing 🥲

[tcanfield]

It won a Grammy for best music video. My personal favorite too !

[JG-fvbv]

Sung from the perspective of a dying soldier on the battlefield in a far away land

[journeyman]

It's not the vocals or instrumentals that make this song a true classic - it's the meaning of the song.

[MinistryOfDarkness]

This song is unbelievably incredible live from Dire Straits "On The Night" 1993. Every reactor I've seen said it had a huge impact on them. Theres a longer guitar solo at the end that's spine chilling. Anyway love your channel and reaction. Cheers all the best from Australia 👍🎸🎸🎸

[dan_hitchman]

Dire Straits' classics, "Money For Nothing, " "Sultans of Swing, " "Walk of Life, " "Romeo and Juliet, " and "So Far Away" are definitely worth checking out.

There are many more songs that are great, but these will get you started.

I am surprised that the comments are not recommending "Sultans of Swing " live Alchemy version - absolute classic !!

[florisdejong]

All those subtle twists and turns, the way he phrases his melodies, his use of dynamics, timing, attack... Knopfler's guitar draws you in in a way that normally only a human voice accomplishes.

[Justin-tdbb]

Dire Straits, Sultans of Swing (alchemy live version) might just be the best thing you ever react to.

Although you are young you have a very mature way of analyzing the singing, the music and the thematic material. I’ve seen this song and video bring people to tears.
Although this song was written during the Falklands war and there are some subtle visual references it can be, as you mentioned, about any war.
One of the British ships that was sunk was the HMS Sheffield. One of my cousins was on that ship but fortunately he survived.

[MobiusBandwidth]

perhaps the greatest, certainly the most soulful guitar performance of all time. not flashy and technical, but it's like a haiku, just a few notes, but exactly the right ones, placed perfectly in time and space. genius. the lyrics, the video, the whole package brilliantly put together, pure art, with a profound message. one of the greatest songs of all time.

[roaringviking]

I don't know why the description put it so generally. It's about a soldier in the Falklands War, which was fought between Britain and Argentina in 1982 when Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands, British territory.
