I know Mark has this song deep in his heart, it’s probably his favorite masterpiece.
This is from Mark's movie score for the movie 'Local Hero'
Yes, and it is not a Dire Straits' piece of music! I think Local Hero, written and directed by Bill Forsyth, still is a funny movie with a very up-to-date environmental theme indeed. Definately worth watching. 🙏
Yes, this IS Mark`s work 100 % This tune is called Wild Theme. He wrote all the music to the film "Local Hero" and this "wild theme" was only one of many great pieces which all was created and made by Mark Knopfler !
One of my all-time favorite movies - a unique mix of comedy, wistfulness, and magical realism - and Knopfoer’s score evokes all of that beautifully.
How well said! Here, here. 🙏
I went to the cinema to see Local Hero just because Mark Knopfler's music.
Local Hero is a wonderfully funny movie and the song fits in perfectly.
Actually, this is Wild Theme from the Local Hero film (Knopfler wrote the score.
Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler used to end their shows with the another song called Going Home, which is more electric (sax, guitars…). But Wild Theme was used in 1992 during the On Every Steer Tour and in 2005 during the Shangri-La Tour.
I would recommend to listen to Going Home Alchemy Live version.
And also to check out the 2024 10 minute, charity release of the song recorded with 70 renowned music’s and guitarists such as J. Beck, Gilmour, Clapton, Slash, Satriani, Vai, Bonamassa, Urban, Morello, Iommy, Frampton, Lukather…
Mark Knopfler’s new special recording of his anthemic ‘Going Home (Theme From Local Hero)’, features an unprecedented line-up of some of the greatest guitarists in history. ‘Legendary’ does not begin to cover it - David Gilmour to Ronnie Wood, Slash to Eric Clapton, Sting to Joan Armatrading, Bruce Springsteen to Pete Townshend, Nile Rodgers to Joan Jett, Brian May to Tony Iommi, Joe Walsh, Sam Fender and many more jaw dropping names. And, in a great honour, the track opens with Jeff Beck’s final recording. ua-cam.com/video/zBGm7gJtSZE/v-deo.html
What a recommendation this is, amazing.
His guitar doesn’t just play a melody or a “sound”. It tells a whole story only by playing the music. Feelings, memories, laughters and tears. MK is able to put all this in his instrument and he makes you feel his story. That’s why I hate it when people try to play his songs or (worse!) his guitar solos : they just play the notes, not the emotion. They don’t feel the story and that’s why they’re un able to tell it through the music they’re playing.
LOCAL HERO - Great feel-good movie, laced beautifully with Mark's wonderful sound.
Burt Lancaster, what an icon.
One of the greatest ever melodies.
You should do the reaction "Romeo and Juliet LIVE (On the Night, 1993)", it is amazing!
I completely agree! 👍 Especially recommend the concert in Basel '92. The groove there is just unbeatable. (I heard it in Stockholm '92, but that one isn't available I'm afraid.)
From the sound track Local Hero, "Wild Theme" is the 2nd tune on the album, which features similar melodic arrangements seen in songs "Whistle Theme," and "Smooching," and capped off with his Going Home song which was a radio hit. Knopfler did a string of sound tracks in the 80s and 90s, including for the Princess Bride, and Cal, which is among my favorites. Check them out, Whistle Theme is a gem of a little refrain, and is classic melodic Knopfler.
This is so beautiful it hurts.
A variant of this is used for home Newcastle united football games, when the players walk out.
The film 'Local Hero' was set around the beauty of the Isles of Scotland and Mark composed the music to set a scene depicting the magnificent sea and landscape of that area. He did it justice...Moving!
it was used as a soundtrack of the movie of the same title: "Local Hero"
The song is actually called "Going Home". Dire Straits ended their shows with this song.
Nope, Local Hero has the same basis and melody, but ‘Wild Theme’ from the same Local Hero album is just guitar and keyboards, no bass or drums, much gentler.
@@techydudeGlad you put that right! Some people seem unable to keep these two apart. Going Home being the up tempo version, at the very end of the movie with saxophone. (🎸On some occasions live, with Hank Marvin.)
It is indeed composed by Mark Knopfler, specifically for a major motion picture soundtrack. The film is called "Local Hero" and is a quirky but very heartwarming story, set in northern Scotland. Mark draws on old Scottish folk melodies and styles to craft this tune which is both called "Wild Theme" and "Going Home". It is so beautiful and moving that many people elect to have it played at their funeral. To hear the original, married with incredible images of Northern Scotland watch the following:

Your analysis of the music is bang on!
I'm always amazed on how his thumb looks like its twice as long as his fingers. Great guitarist.
Great observation. Mark has got really long fingers, including his thumbs and so does his oldest daughter, by the way. (😊He's also got really big feet. Size UK: 12, EU: 46. Trivial, but it's true! 😅👞)
@@CarinTibellAhlin 🤣
he also wrote the music for the movie "The Princes' Bride".
It’s been a traditional Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler encore for years going back to 1983. Some times in a stripped back version like this others like from his solo tour in 2019 with his full 10 piece band. It’s really special.
I am one of many who hopes their last sendoff will be to this song played along with Going Home.
Yes, ‘Going Home’ traditionally ended DS concerts from its existence in 1984? through to this last/late concern in their final tour for the On Every Street album in 1991/92. This variant, ‘Wild Theme’ is just guitar & keyboards, no bass, rhythm or drums, both from the album ‘Local Hero’ which is the soundtrack to a quirky-funny movie of the same name, well worth a watch!
I knew you would enjoy this. As others have said, this track is from Mark's debut film soundtrack for the film Local Hero. The whole soundtrack is beautiful. This is the stripped-down track called Wild Theme, but there is the full band performance called Going Home, which is amazing too. This is about the most beautiful guitar instrumental you could hear from anyone, but this has Mark Knopfler written all over it. To me, it proves why Mark is above most other players, the melodic approach, his touch, tone, and feel of it is way more impressive than playing really fast all the time. Like Mike Oldfield says, "The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it"
So good to see you back with the guitar 🎸. This track is Going Home and will accompany me on my final journey. You only got half the song with this version. It's so very beautiful ❤
No it is not Going Home... it really is Wild Theme.... which has elementen of Going Home, from the same movie and Local Hero album by Mark Knopfler
It's Mark's work. It's from some kind of movie that he wrote the theme music to. Set in the Scottish highlands
I don't know why, but when I watch your videos you remind me of Lenny von Dohlen in the Red Dwarf episode Back To Reality.
I've seen Mark knopfler 13 times and he's always ending off with this, but different versions this starts off as going home but turns into wild theme which is a toned down version, then there's an encore which gradually builds up with drums guitar solo ending, Amazomg stuff when your there 🥺
This is so damn beautiful my eyes get wet every time. This music is all beauty and emotions. Thank you for reacting to this masterpiece. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.
Please try a reaction to the shadows playing these from the deer Hunter live from the final tour
Another lovely insightful reaction thank you. Mark wrote 9 movie soundtracks between 1983 & 2016, i.e. Local Hero; Cal, Comfort & Joy; The Princess Bride; Last Exit to Brooklyn; Wag the Dog; Metroland; A Shot at Glory; & Altamira. There is a beautiful diversity to the music on these albums that, for me, place MK firmly in the realms of magical musician, a subtle step above plain old ‘genius’. My personal favourite tracks are on ‘Local Hero’; ‘Last Exit to Brooklyn’; ‘A Shot at Glory’; ‘Local Hero’; ‘The Princess Bride’. I❤MK & everything in his rich musical legacy so far.
Toon - Toon❤
One of my favourite tracks
El cielo debe sonar así.. verdad?
Maravillosa música para celebrar la vida!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
MK total legend a musical genius
From the Movie Local hero where he did the score for the film also did The Princess bride and Cal
When Mark plays, you don’t need lyrics. His guitar alone tells the story 🥰🥰🇦🇺🐨
But maybe re listen to this in its single radio version called Going Home where you will get the full song in all its intricacy..
Love your reaction. Also love this song. This is the best version imho
We who experienced this music live, back in '92 are blessed, in my opinion. 'Wild Theme' was the last of the encores. To me, it was the most perfect and sothing encore of an extraordinary Dire Straits concert that lasted for two mindblowing hours❣️We were leaving the concert with a bit of Mark's Scottish "soul". (However, if you love this, there is an even greater live version, from '92, where Mark so beautifully switches harmonies in the middle. He doesn't play that harmony in this version, unfortunately. If you look for it, Mark is wearing a striped sleeveless T-shirt.) 😅🎸❤
My favourite version is from the 1985 Wembley Arena concert where he duets with Hank Marvin. Two guitar legends from Newcastle!
Born in Glasgow😂😂😂😂
Technically that is Going Home, not Wild Theme.
Thanks for the review but IMO the original version or that from Alchemy has further very, very interesting harmonics. This is from the Movei Local Hero, very nice story of a New yorker employee of big Petrol company who is sent in Scotland to assess some land to settle raffinery. But something will happen... This always ends DS or MK shows to my knowledge
Love this tune but the versions he played with the Notting Hillbillies in 1997 and '98 were technically much better and suited the intimate venues. I was at the Hillbillies show in Glasgow 1997 and Wild Theme there was just outstanding.
What’s your guitar and amp please ? Sounds awesome 🤯
You seem to know guitar playing, so I enjoy your reactions.
What's with your nose?
Bonjour, j’adore vos réactions, malgré l’absence de subvention à votre chaîne j’aimerais vous proposer de réagir au morceau live « Once Uppon Time In The West live alchemy » un grand merci
Do tunnle of love plz
Already on my channel! 😉
The sound of the stratocaster is UNREAL, SO PURE, IT'S RIDICULOUS WHEN YOU HEAR MARK WITH THE PURE SOUND, AND HENDRIX WITH THE MOST AGRESSIVE, VIOLENT, BEAUTIFUL SOUND, WITH THE SAME GUITAR😂😢❤MAGIC.....THANKS, LEO FENDER... Peace from France ✌️
Hi, lovely sound, but did you know the guitar isn't a fender but a schecter guitar, regards Graham😊
@@grahamedney2432 I was talking about the guitar of MARK KNOPFLER😅what are you talking about?
So am I, the guitar is a candy apple red schecter stratocaster, he used it from the early 80s onwards after using fenders on the early dire straits albums, if u check out alchemy he also uses a sunburst schecter stratocaster, and if you like walk of life that was played on a schecter telecaster, which was one of the guitars sold at the christies auction, I suggest googling his guitars first next time before answering back with a wrong reply

Obrigada pelo apoio e consideração.
❤❤❤
Here you've got the same tune but played on Les Paul. Sounds amazing too. Also the main theme Going Home Knopfler played on LP during hist last tour
ua-cam.com/video/_EyoXb4DtHA/v-deo.htmlsi=TpAESwFlgWyTn6sE
Alchemy version is incredibly better than this one.
Alchemy is going home. This is wild theme
Going Home is better because it is heavier. Like the recorded versions of Sound of Silence, one with session guitar bass and drums, and one without. What was the hit?
Man...nobody reacts to his songs at the concert at Montserrat......it's a shame. Both this song and Brothers in arms are insanely good at this concert. i 100% listen to those performances over this one and the others. One thing to, if you wanna hear a very good solo from Mark.. Listen to the Sultans of Swing ending solo, It way better to me than the one everyone reacts to. It got way more feeling in the solo. I'll link it. ua-cam.com/video/1MeXOufzvMI/v-deo.html That piano and guitar gives me chills, it starts at 6:40 in the video
