A friend - a brother - died recently from Covid. We travelled many miles together on our motorcycles, making memories along the way. This song is for him. Miss you, Ken. R.I.P.
After a 30 years marriage I'm trying to make sense of my husband's endless affairs. I lost him during covid. Still my only love. Still trying to make sense of it all and trying to find my old self again. My God and my dogs helps me to create a new life for us all ❤️

Absolutely right brother, cent percent correct. Your comment is all about to spoke Mark, We/ I cant say anything but God bless our Mark. Love you bro and our beloved Mark......Love From far way (Bangladesh).
In 1981 when I was a Captain in the U.S. Army, I met a fellow officer while I was on temporary duty at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio Texas. We had an intense relationship for about a month. It was a "once in a lifetime" experience. We parted ways and I have never seen her again. Every time I hear this song, I think of her. This is a beautiful rendition by Mark Knopfler and Ruth Moody. The saxophone player during the interlude really sets the mood.
I was struggling with my moms struggle when she took care of my father. The last moments of here life she cried so much for feeling guilty she couldnt keep up taking care of him. When she died, I let my father hear this beautiful song. He was such a fan of Marks music. So he wanted to play this song at her funeral. My father played this song over and over in the 3,5 years he had left after my mom died, it was his way of staying close to her in his memory, and asked me to play this at his funeral too. Half a year ago, it was his time to let him go and lead him to his last destiny. Wherever I Go and Going Home were played at his funeral. And now it’s my turn to keep the songs alive and remember the beautiful parents I had… my greatest examples in life.
I had a friend who passed away after battling breast cancer, eventually succumbing to an inoperable brain tumour. The line "your star is fixed in my sky" gets me every time. This ones for you Lisa.
Varhaugviken I have to Totally agree. I saw him many year's ago and I was hooked from the first song I heard, and it is a beautiful thing to watch and listen to how beautiful his music grows with us and the the universe. May we always enjoy the way he touche's our lives.........Love and Light......
Alice Larson i am furious yes i make the faute and me but so for me its ireal money its me its jealous for audience i have no money is not prise wihte me i am contined
the silence between chords makes the brain and body forget about how crazy the state of the world is today. Thanxs Mark for these moments of real peace. keep them coming

Saw him with Eric Clapton back in '88 in Portland. 35 years on and still the best concert I've ever seen. Eric was amazing but he was outgunned by Mark. Had no idea how lucky I was to see them together at the time.
All. I accounts are So Absolutely True. I love the Peaceful feeling I get when I Listen to All of his Soulful Masterpieces. So moved by So many Songs and your Sailing to Philadelphia homage to the Two Astronomers and Surveyors whose Hard Work may have Surely managed to Save Some Slaves that hopefully were Helped to get North of the Mason-Dixon Line after which the "Line", was Named. SO Glad you remembered the Son of the Baker and his Friend, the Two Scientists from England that Worked SO Very Hard. I have had Friends,(off a different race as me)whose Family Ancestors were Slaves and Sharecroppers, One of them has gone back to Stay with the Lord last year, I wish I could have realized the meaning of the Lyrics of your Song and had a Chance to tell her about them. Thank you for the Insight, Sensitivity and Beauty you impart in Every one of Your Songs. You are Such a Super Person Mark!

Can't get enough of MK; he's been great for so long, gets better with age. He's never gotten stuck in anything; always moving on and growing, like Dylan in that way. A man of vast feeling-sensitivity, and talent to fully express it.
Mark's voice has always been my #1 meditation go to. Even in Dire Straits. Such an original. That voice can never be duplicated. And that guitar.....lawd have mercy!!! I married him in my dreams so many times in the last 43 years lol
It's ok. But it doesn't seem like it. Breathe and smile and allow him to flow all around you. My Daddy passed 9yrs ago and as I ride fence here at the ranch he flows through me and all around me
I just recently lost my Twin Brother and now I carry the pain he shared with me for year's. I was his only family. It was so hard to hear the pain he carried and the damage of us never being wanted as children the abomination of abuse from extremely bad parenting. He had a very deep soul and was just such a beautiful person, in mine and many others lives. He even donated all of his entire estate to a local University worth millions. So as to educate young adults to become someone they want to be, to literally make dreams come true.How many young adults will be able to go-to school in My "Beloved Brothers Name". This song with Mark's Beautiful Word's and with Ruth's Angelic voice tells a story of me saying my goodbyes to my brother. A salute to my brothers last goodbye. I have always believed in the stars and it's glorious heavens. I turn on my usual heels before I say my final Goodbyes. I don't believe in goodbys I believe we will see everyone we have meet no matter how small (saying to keep your books in order) tomorrow is never promised. We all are fragile that is what makes us stronger!! Be Good do Great Thing's No Matter How Small you may feel.How soothing the sounds of the water the beautiful black and white filming is a work of art in it's self.The gravel under his feet, his goodbys hanging of the coat on the broken ship all tie themselves together for me. "He Truly is a Fixed Star In My Sky". Thank You Mark and Ruth you Truly Have Sent Me, A Most Beautiful Marked And Fixed Star How Beautifully And Wild It Shines................... Thank You*
Mark Fullarton Thank You Mark for your kind words and the Love You have sent me and Toward's My Brother. I believe all Love is being sent to my brother, weather we know them or not. So Thank You Kindly For Your Love Towards My Brother And Myself. May I Pray Wherever Your Journeys Take You In This Sometimes Crazy World We Live In, May You Know My Love Is There With You!!!! You Are Light In It's Self And I Am Beyond Words For The Love And In Betterment You Show Toward's Mankind...... Your's Sincerely, Alice.....aka... Sweat Pea......
That is one of my favorite songs that he has written. I know it was from his heart. I'm sure we've all known of a situation , whether friend or family...., where a connection has been broken for whatever reason, but the love is still there and always will be. 😢
Maybe I’m bound to wander From one place to the next Heaven knows why But in the wild blue yonder Your star is fixed in my sky Just another bar at a crossroads So far from home But that’s alright Whenever I’m going down a dark road I don’t feel alone in the night There’s a place in my heart Though we’re far apart May you always know No matter how long since I saw you I’ll keep a flame there for you Wherever I go They’re looking to close up in here They’re pulling down the blinds But they’ll let you stay awhile They’re not going to mind Now I’ve got to leave you, brother So this round’s mine Here’s looking at you, anyhow You can go on and have another They won’t call time I’m going to say my goodbyes now There’s a place in my heart Though we’re far apart May you always know No matter how long since I saw you I’ll keep a flame there for you Wherever I go
Well, this is why I only listen to podcasts in public. When I find music like this, I end up a blubbering mess. MAKING MOVIES was my first album and I've loved Mark Knopfler ever since. I'm new to Ruth Moody but what a heavenly harmony they do make. Now pass me another tissue...
This track makes me emotional so many times. Tonight I was droving home again, with rain, it was getting dark and the raindrops on my windshield where making little lights from the reflections of the lampposts.. I felt so humble.. I say it time after time.. MK's whole discography is the soundtrack for being on the road. And hopefully that soundtrack is getting longer and longer :)
Today is the first time I heard this song. I looked at the date it was posted, and it was a week before I left for a cross country solo road trip. Much has changed in my life since then. Some might ask for better or worse. I can’t really say. It’s just different. Life is short, the road is long. Be well, everyone. Much love.
"There’s a place in my heart Though we’re far apart May you always know No matter how long since I saw you I’ll keep a flame there for you Wherever I go ..." Love this song... Mark Knopfler, so true like always! :)
I don't understand why Mark has always been so unknown. All anyone knows by him is his work with Dire Straits, and from Dire Straits only a few of his hits (this being the result I get when I ask others if they know who Mark Knopfler is). I just wish they could hear this; all of those who have nothing but Sultan's of Swing in their mind. All of those who listen to today's modern popular music. All of those who forgot that real music still exists. Real artists still write. And real artists can move you. He is now 68, and in my opinion he is making the best music of his career. Pray there is no slowing down in him. We need you Mark, keep doing what you're doing. We will always be here to listen.
He's not underrated at all; indeed, MK is deeply appreciated by those who know music. It's simply that today's music scene does not typically play deep, original and authentic musical masterpieces, and prefer to promote the likes of Gaga, Bieber, Kanye & Jayzee. However you chose to interpret that agenda, there are still those of us who have been fortunate enough to have been exposed to great caliber musical masterpieces, and who continue to follow musicians who tend to be, shall we say, 'unplugged from the mainstream.' By being unplugged from formulas, this brilliant mind has been unfettered and free to actually create what are not only musical masterpieces, but life commentaries which deeply touch our souls on so many emotional levels. There are many artists who have done their best work away from the pop agenda. Mark Knopfler is akin to that exquisite & rare red wine, whose caliber and expressive notes continue to expand with time. It's also terrific that with the internet we are able to rediscover the greats more easily! Yes, he is the absolute best!!!
The band became one of the world's best-selling music artists, with records sales of over 100 million. According to the Guinness Book of British Hit Albums, Dire Straits have spent over 1,100 weeks on the UK albums chart, ranking fifth all-time. Brothers in Arms is the eighth-best-selling album in UK chart history. Their career spanned 15 years.This is not underrated.
CheekyBastardEN wtf you are talking about? First cd that I can recal was from dire straits. He might be not the best singer there is but dear lord does it fit to the lyrics he writes and sings...
Easy now! As a fan from the first D.S. album and trough Mark's solo career, i have had the pleasure og standing next to some youngsters at one of his concerts. I asked those young those guys, if they were at the right concert, because most of the people had grey hair... One of the guys replied: "This is real music, played by real musicians, and we love Mark's music!" So you see, there is still hope...
This will always touch my heart. Always.... for someone I cant live with, but can't live without .. the flame will always be there wherever I go ..... ❤
Somewhere I red that " the art is to hide the art" I didn't know really what It meant. Know it's been 30 years I'm listening to MK and the fact he's underrated made me understand the meaning. Thank u Mark ..we love you.
Mark's music and voice has the uncanny ability to paint over what is decayed and ugly in this often unsettled society that we live in. Like a broad brush his music sweeps over the dark areas of your soul and replenishes it with beautiful colors that that can easily be faded by the rigors of everyday life. Thank you Mr. Knopfler for continuing to give me these little reprieves. May the sun always shine through your window.
When I listened for the very first time to this song from the Tracker album I loved it immediately and the voice of Ruth Moody is so awesome. She's a wonderful singer... Thank you for this video.
Yes, thanks to MK I discovered Ruth's career, but also Emilou Harris's and Chet Atkins ! So many names we won't hear off in the netherlands. Somewhere country and folk is dull and boring.. Can't figure it out why.. it's just a great genre inside the 'songwriters' genre !
I will never forget my dad, you will always shine brighter than the brightest star 🌟. When your dad introduced you to the most amazing artists, this man here is the greatest along side my da. Forever grateful and more ❤.
Mark is NOT appreciated enough but loved by all of us who buy his albums and still finding something else to admire. He is musical magic. The airways aren’t built for music such as this, they only want the jingles. Sad. As soon as you get a record station different it changes to sound like all the rest. The same repetitive 50 odd songs. Oh for the days of Musicians being played and not just teenybops boy band.
How are you doing today Suse J Moore? Its really nice having you on here .. I saw your profile on here and i think we definitely are on the same page on many levels. Trust, communication, loving, honoring, understanding, patience and respecting your partner. So crucial to provide balance.

This song came out after my mom passed. She was a huge Mark fan. She didn't get to love it, so I love it twice as hard❤
❤
Same here my friend 2 years since my mom passed she too was a huge fan. My eldest brother even had the privilege of having dinner with Mark

Mark Knopfler has been wringing tears out of my heart for forty years. He can tell a story, and wield a guitar like no musician I know.
"...maybe get a blista' on your little finger ...." 💪🎶🎸
Man this guy could play a shovel and make it sound good, the best guitar player of all time.

Hello how are you doing today
I completely agree, Nancy. Well said!
Anyone who has not seen him in concert is missing world class musical genius
I saw him in Montreal a few years ago and this was the best concert I've ever attended. He's amazing.
Only saw him once , wow what an experience 👌
I've been lucky to see him 4 times. Benn at the front of the stage for brothers in arms and going home twice. Best money I've ever spent ❤️
Saw him with Eric Clapton back in '88 in Portland. 35 years on and still the best concert I've ever seen. Eric was amazing but he was outgunned by Mark. Had no idea how lucky I was to see them together at the time.
No-one in the world can deny this man's talent whether it be songwriting or his guitar playing abilities. He's mastered the craft on both accounts.

That is one of my favorite songs that he has written. I know it was from his heart. I'm sure we've all known of a situation , whether friend or family...., where a connection has been broken for whatever reason, but the love is still there and always will be. 😢
I never could imagine what a small comment about a grandious song could stir around he world,
another Knopfler consequence. Love to all who responded.
Mark, words won't do justice to the joy you've given over all these decades. You'll reside on a cloud someday. Thanks for everything.
Love my Patti forever and always.
No songwriter, composer and guitar player can
be as lyrical as Mark Knopfler, Mark Knopfler and Mark Knopfler 😍
Mark Knoppfler has semi classic music as well .
He could play guitar forever, never too long, so beautiful
SO nice!! "One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain." ~ Bob Marley
Wistful, full of yearning, perfect for all of us who are far away from the ones we love.
Maybe I’m bound to wander
From one place to the next
Heaven knows why
But in the wild blue yonder
Your star is fixed in my sky
Just another bar at a crossroads
So far from home
But that’s alright
Whenever I’m going down a dark road
I don’t feel alone in the night
There’s a place in my heart
Though we’re far apart
May you always know
No matter how long since I saw you
I’ll keep a flame there for you
Wherever I go
They’re looking to close up in here
They’re pulling down the blinds
But they’ll let you stay awhile
They’re not going to mind
Now I’ve got to leave you, brother
So this round’s mine
Here’s looking at you, anyhow
You can go on and have another
They won’t call time
I’m going to say my goodbyes now
There’s a place in my heart
Though we’re far apart
May you always know
No matter how long since I saw you
I’ll keep a flame there for you
Wherever I go

Hvala! Thank you! Prekrasna pjesma, prekrasna poezija!
Beautiful song, wonderful lyrics!
Because people like reading the lyrics while they're listening !
Hi evryone there is life that we no it
Lemajlo, thank you indeed.. GB.. 🙏
One of Rock's most underrated composer/musicians...
This man aint underrated?!?!?
Exactly. What a stupid comment.
Not underrated...Mark? You probably listening to him for the first time
The sinergy between the video and the song is so accurate to express the lonileness of my adult life
Please don't be lonely😊
There’s legends and then there’s Mark Knopfler ..... most of the rest don’t come close
Mark, you're the best! Thank you for giving our lives a really wonderful soundtrack.
Ruth Moody’s voice would bring a tear to a glass eye!
Thank you, Sir, it's a miracle.
I felt like you were here.. HEAVEN stay with me even when I cannot sing you a song... Let you lead me with this ❤
Well, this is why I only listen to podcasts in public. When I find music like this, I end up a blubbering mess. MAKING MOVIES was my first album and I've loved Mark Knopfler ever since. I'm new to Ruth Moody but what a heavenly harmony they do make. Now pass me another tissue...
Havent listened to mark in ages beautiful ruths great to
Well, there I go crying again what a sad song. But yet it's beautiful at the same time.
mark playing with ruth voice ...just perfection
This track makes me emotional so many times. Tonight I was droving home again, with rain, it was getting dark and the raindrops on my windshield where making little lights from the reflections of the lampposts.. I felt so humble.. I say it time after time.. MK's whole discography is the soundtrack for being on the road. And hopefully that soundtrack is getting longer and longer :)
Meike, I loved your reflections on rain drops even with two year's time. Sharing your love for MK. Tom
Keep going... May the road be as long and wide as our dreams...
Today is the first time I heard this song. I looked at the date it was posted, and it was a week before I left for a cross country solo road trip. Much has changed in my life since then. Some might ask for better or worse. I can’t really say. It’s just different. Life is short, the road is long. Be well, everyone. Much love.
I couldn't agree more.
Funny, I created a playlist of Knopfler's songs I titled it 'On the road' ❤
I listen to Mark’s music, no matter what decade it was performed, on an almost daily basis. He is my favorite.
"There’s a place in my heart
Though we’re far apart
May you always know
No matter how long since I saw you
I’ll keep a flame there for you
Wherever I go
..."
Love this song...
Mark Knopfler, so true like always! :)
❤ this is for you
Lost a precious friend suddenly earlier this year. This is my song I dedicate / remember her with . RiP sweet Lorina. ❤
The barren scenery of Dungeness. My old home area. It will never change. Beautiful music from Mark as always.
What a beautiful song with heartfelt words.
Just beautiful, I can listen to Mark all day. So much sole,
What a feel when.u hear this,tnku Mark
Thanks for the lovely Song. ❤
Very sweet song. Great voices, guitar and sax notes. Like a confluence of gentle streams into a great river. Bravo to Mark, Ruth and crew
Mark Knopfler is a creation in continuous motion. Forever surprising. A true artist.
I don't understand why Mark has always been so unknown. All anyone knows by him is his work with Dire Straits, and from Dire Straits only a few of his hits (this being the result I get when I ask others if they know who Mark Knopfler is). I just wish they could hear this; all of those who have nothing but Sultan's of Swing in their mind. All of those who listen to today's modern popular music. All of those who forgot that real music still exists. Real artists still write. And real artists can move you. He is now 68, and in my opinion he is making the best music of his career. Pray there is no slowing down in him. We need you Mark, keep doing what you're doing. We will always be here to listen.
He's not underrated at all; indeed, MK is deeply appreciated by those who know music. It's simply that today's music scene does not typically play deep, original and authentic musical masterpieces, and prefer to promote the likes of Gaga, Bieber, Kanye & Jayzee. However you chose to interpret that agenda, there are still those of us who have been fortunate enough to have been exposed to great caliber musical masterpieces, and who continue to follow musicians who tend to be, shall we say, 'unplugged from the mainstream.' By being unplugged from formulas, this brilliant mind has been unfettered and free to actually create what are not only musical masterpieces, but life commentaries which deeply touch our souls on so many emotional levels. There are many artists who have done their best work away from the pop agenda. Mark Knopfler is akin to that exquisite & rare red wine, whose caliber and expressive notes continue to expand with time. It's also terrific that with the internet we are able to rediscover the greats more easily! Yes, he is the absolute best!!!
he's not underrated
The band became one of the world's best-selling music artists, with records sales of over 100 million. According to the Guinness Book of British Hit Albums, Dire Straits have spent over 1,100 weeks on the UK albums chart, ranking fifth all-time. Brothers in Arms is the eighth-best-selling album in UK chart history. Their career spanned 15 years.This is not underrated.
CheekyBastardEN wtf you are talking about? First cd that I can recal was from dire straits. He might be not the best singer there is but dear lord does it fit to the lyrics he writes and sings...
Easy now! As a fan from the first D.S. album and trough Mark's solo career, i have had the pleasure og standing next to some youngsters at one of his concerts. I asked those young those guys, if they were at the right concert, because most of the people had grey hair... One of the guys replied: "This is real music, played by real musicians, and we love Mark's music!" So you see, there is still hope...
This will always touch my heart. Always.... for someone I cant live with, but can't live without .. the flame will always be there wherever I go ..... ❤
Mark Knopfler....what musical talent...such timeless music....thank you...
just brilliant
Somewhere I red that " the art is to hide the art" I didn't know really what It meant. Know it's been 30 years I'm listening to MK and the fact he's underrated made me understand the meaning. Thank u Mark ..we love you.
Mark knopfler true Legend of music never ceases to amaze!
Wht a wonderfull song Mr. Mark Knopfler!
Simply beautiful
Mark's music and voice has the uncanny ability to paint over what is decayed and ugly in this often unsettled society that we live in. Like a broad brush his music sweeps over the dark areas of your soul and replenishes it with beautiful colors that that can easily be faded by the rigors of everyday life. Thank you Mr. Knopfler for continuing to give me these little reprieves. May the sun always shine through your window.
What an amazing comment
Beautifully stated.❤
Great Song, thank you Mark, and beside; a very melodic Saxophone solo!! Love it!
01:04 when Ruth starts to sing!!! goosebumpshower 😍
I feel something in my soul that i don't have words to explaine!
When I listened for the very first time to this song from the Tracker album I loved it immediately and the voice of Ruth Moody is so awesome. She's a wonderful singer... Thank you for this video.
Yes, thanks to MK I discovered Ruth's career, but also Emilou Harris's and Chet Atkins ! So many names we won't hear off in the netherlands. Somewhere country and folk is dull and boring.. Can't figure it out why.. it's just a great genre inside the 'songwriters' genre !

I will never forget my dad, you will always shine brighter than the brightest star 🌟. When your dad introduced you to the most amazing artists, this man here is the greatest along side my da. Forever grateful and more ❤.
Beautiful...simply beautiful !
this just breaks me for no reason, this is art
I am glad that MK is active on youtube now! The video's awesome!
Do you ever go again cry and this song gets me everytime😊😢
This duet has a sensual quality that touches one's soul. The sax is seductive.
Mark is NOT appreciated enough but loved by all of us who buy his albums and still finding something else to admire. He is musical magic. The airways aren’t built for music such as this, they only want the jingles. Sad. As soon as you get a record station different it changes to sound like all the rest. The same repetitive 50 odd songs. Oh for the days of Musicians being played and not just teenybops boy band.
Mark is a fantastic gentleman hugs Mark k I love you for all you have given us in song
I just found this song and cannot believe how beautiful it is. Wow. Once again, Mark Knopfler - say no more.
I take my hat off to you good sir. Thank you for the music and all the joy your music brings.
This has to be the most beautyful songs ever written, Mark really touches my soul.
Mark is the best songwriter ever in my book.
Love his music ❤️
thank you from the bottom of my heart for this precious gift to the world
This is truly amazing and Pure! Thanks Mark & Ruth for this collaboration
Everybody should have somebody to dedicate this song to.
Najih nourddin.
I dedicate this to my brother, Kevin
My daughter my sister's my mom etc. So beautiful

I do not know why, but I could not hold my tears listening to this song! Keep the great work Mark.
because. just because.
Emmanuel Soares that's most of MK songs for me :)
Judy Thompson Yes. That's why. Exactly.
On the nail. I heard it at a bad time for me as well. Power to you!
Wherever you go you will be always in our hearts. The soundtrack of my life. Thanks for sharing your good music among all of us.
Regards.
Ein wunderschöner Song. Ich mag Mark Knopfler sehr !!
Ich auch!
@@Makzul78 Oh ja Wunderschön. ☺❤❤❤
The best of the very best. Beautiful voices
brilliant. and a great creative artist who has found his peace and place it seems, when so many great artists never really seem to.
I feel like I stumbled into Heaven when I listen to Mark Knopfler’s music...Peaceful and joyous.
How are you doing today Suse J Moore? Its really nice having you on here .. I saw your profile on here and i think we definitely are on the same page on many levels. Trust, communication, loving, honoring, understanding, patience and respecting your partner. So crucial to provide balance. This is what creates such great chemistry between two people that are committed to one another.
Thank you, Mark, for giving us so much. I don't know if we have earned it.
Mark always finds great collaborators. Ruth Moody has the same great vibe. Another beautiful duet.
A complete sensual journey. Thanks.
Wherever I go, Mark Knopflers songs forever remain in my head :) beautiful....💙
