There is so much great artistry in this song, and it is among my favorites. The lyrics, vocals, instrumentation, (especially the amazing guitar playing) tell a sad, beautiful, emotional, and powerful story. It's one of the few songs that get me choked up, and close to tears. I thought the graphics were great, and added to the song. Dire Straights are amazing talented. Great choice of song, and great reaction.
Glad you got a chance to check this one out, I enjoyed your reaction. 👍 I recommended this official version so you could initially catch all the lyrics and appreciate the meaning and power of the song; now that you are familiar with it, you might enjoy watching a live/ concert version, because let's face it, Dire Straits' live performances -- and Mark's solos -- are always on a whole other level 😉!

I absolutely agree with you, I really enjoy their live version more, but this one is really good too thank you for suggesting it.
Héllo de France Bonjour regarder le live de 1993 super
I love your reaction! Please looking for the german song from reinhard Mey "Meine Söhne gebe ich nicht" I am sure you like this song very much!
Bedankt
Thank you so much 🙏
-We can see a classic scene with this song, on the TV show "Miami Vice" in the 1980's, (in last scene of the episode: 'Out Where the Buses Don't Run')
Please listen to the concert recording... the stage is freedom. For the real artist...
Well said!
Check the live versions
Okay I’ll do that
Make sure you watch the live version from the On The Night concert.
