    I have never heard a groovier, straighter progression of seemingly wildly changing 3/4 and 4/4 bars than in the verses of this song.

      There are no underrated Dire Straits songs. They are multimillionaires, they have sold millions of copies of each album. On UA-cam, all the songs are ‘underrated’. Those who don’t know what to say write: “Underrated.

My kids , now 9 and 12 also love this music but also like the new stuff. Thats ok, but they will appreciate it later on in life. Good music is unreplacable.

    Thinking back to 1980. It was 6 a.m., on an early July morning. I was a passenger in my friends Red Alfa Romeo Roundtail Spider. Coming home from an all night party. He drove through an urban garden estate for half a mile, deliberately tearing up the grass, scaring the couple of pedestrians. And we had "Once Upon a Time" on the cassette player.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Mark Knopfler!! 74 beautiful years, more than half giving us beautiful music!! To him, to John Illsley, to David Knofler, to Pick Withers and Terry Williams, to Alan Clark and Hall Lindes and Mel Collins on the Saxophoooone !!!! For me ALL are DIRE All HAVE 74, and ALL are the same, and there wouldn't be Dire without them ALL. Even if it was just for another brief moment in time, just like in the Beatles or the Stones creative tops, it seems like Euterpe roused again from the Greek ashes and gave us music HISTORY!!!

      @btsr2553 Рік тому +3

      @@AgentRafa Thank you 🙏 for your comment. I also agree with you. "Walk Of Life" was and is in my opinion a rather commercial Dire Straits production from the album "Brothers in Arms". Songs like "Walk Of Life" remind me of "Twisting By The Pool". What was seamlessly integrated on the "Making Movies" album, such as "Skateaway", stands out on the "Brothers in Arms" album. It's not that I don't like it, but it's one of the Dire Straits songs I got a little sick of. But that's because of the commercial production of the song.

      My dad had a vinyl of the first album but he never really used it i tried it once and it became my favourite since i didn't really understand much when i was a kid, growing up i never really let go of it until i started discovering their discography and from that time i never really stopped listening to them amd still always my favourite
