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.

"All I do is kiss you, through the bars of a rhyme." Best line ever written.

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.

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.

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 YouTube 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.

I just lost my Juliette on June 16/24. I played this song to her when she was alone with me. She would cry listening to it. Now I cry whenever I here it. Mark's music hits my heart. What a man to write such a master piece.

Jeans, a comfortable shirt, no distractions just musical genius. What a privilege to have grown up with artists like Mark Knopfler

[stevenrudolph]

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.

[craigwhite]

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.

I seriously think not enough people realize how special and important this mans music is and has always been

[ivangray]

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... ❤

[timthompson]

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 💕

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.

[joeldavis]

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

[zuzannawisniewska]

It's 2023 and it's definitely one of the best songs of all time, a total masterpiece. It never gets old.

[koolpin]

What a privilege it is to be alive in the same era as Mr Knopfler.

[Lostagain]

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.

[Adefish]

This song is without doubt one of the greatest of the 20th Centuary and probably of all time .

[shadmo]

Mr Knopfler at his peak. This is my favorite live version of this timeless song.

[pogmothoin]

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.
