i'm 20yo and will never understand how most young people cannot listen to songs longer than 4-5 minutes. this is my favorite song of all time and I never, never get tired of it. it simply is beyond my understanding how can it be so good. i wish I'd seen Knopfler and the Straits live, what a time to be alive!
My dad recently passed away at 59, this song, sorry no, masterpiece was my personal favourite thing to listen to with him. without him I would have never have had such an amazing taste in music. Thank you, Dad. RIP😢
My dad died when I was 18, I'm almost 21 now, so let me tell you that it does not get easier. You just learn to live around it. This was his favorite song, and I hope to god that we can both learn to live again.❤
No argument from me 😅😅. Just a stunning track from start to the very end. Great story writing with the usual 1st class musicianship we expect from DS. Particularly love the interplay between piano and guitar.
Agreed. Rhythm and tempo makes it a great "car travelling" song,I might add. How else are towns built? The lyrics speak for itself. Thank you Mr. Knopfler for entertaining us throughout the memorable years.🤗💥😁⚔️💝
I’ve had the fortune of seeing many great guitarists perform live, but hearing and watching Mark Knopfler play this piece live was something unique and unrepeatable.
@@systemsproceed248 I had the opportunity to see him live some years ago in Rome, at the (now called) "Auditorium Ennio Morricone". It was a wonderful night!
Of the 3 epics, Tunnel of Love, Sultans of Swing and this, Telegraph Road, this is the only studio version that compares with the live versions. This is pure poetry.
The original? Studio version? Nah. Not even close. The original TOL is, well, a first draft so to speak. The live versions when the master goes off are infinitely better. And the Live in 85 Wembley version is king of all. No question. But to original point, this TR studio version is excellent. Powerful. Has gravitas.
IMO, the studio version of Telegraph Road is on another level. I've seen played live many times both by DS and MK in his solo concerts but, even though it was still a masterpiece, it wasn't on par with this studio version.
I find it hard to express my love of this song, even calling it a ‘song’ seems to belittle it. It’s an absolute masterpiece. I think a pinnacle piece for the band. Ive read about how it was pieced together at soundchecks. It’s a movie to me that paints pictures in my head. Every note has its place in its atmosphere. LOG remains my favourite album after all these years. It was my awakening to Mark and the band. ❤ 👏 👏
Well expressed! Yes it is indeed movies for the ears. Mark Knopfler- what a songwriter he is, masterful talent as a writer as well as a guitarist! ❤ 🎸✍️Always
One of your masterpieces! I've heard it so many times, and it still gives me goose bumps every time! Even 10 minutes later! Thank you! Servus from the heart of Bavaria
No pane, to je komentář, který má úroveň. Díky. Skladba je exkluzivní, skvělá, nadčasová, líbivá, má prvky opery (kdy se jednotlivé věty střídají, opakují, mísí, atd.. ) Díky Vám za hezký komentář . Není jednoduché takto "sepsat" skladbu... Muselo to trvat hrozně dlouho (oproti např. "Smoke on the Walther" 😂. Ano, je to big big! Dnes už nemá nikdo na to, aby podobnou skladbu vůbec vymyslel ❤❤❤
This has to be the very best of DS as well as MK killing the ending.... he is masterful at what he does and may it continue for a very long time to come... Love it...
The name of our company's softball team was, "The Sultans of Swing". It was my introduction to Dire Straits. I quit the team after only a few games. Half those guys showed up one beer away from vomiting. It was fun for a little while.
As a freshman in high school, the stresses of my studies and growing up (puberty sucks, man) is often a lot to deal with, but songs like this as well as Dire Straits as a whole have made it easier to cope. Some songs let me de-wind and get lost in the story told by the lyrics while others punch me strait (heh) in the gut with Mark Knopler's fingerstyle guitar. The songs sound so "full", if you know what I mean, and alive. It's great. Love from Korea 🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷
No more comments, my friends, no more comments. Don't you realize that this song could loose it's title of the "Most underrated musical master piece of all time"??? No more comments. Keep quiet. Sleep.
@@noway6288 Come on man, "Brothers in Arms" was way more commercial but with songs like "Industrial Disease" and "It Never Rains", Love Over Gold has to take the cake for one of their best albums.
@@mistshad0w725 Damn Bro..ther! Ure right! Totally forgot bout "Love over Gold" I sincerley apologize! (Not really! cuz the Straits were, are and will be one of the best Bands ever! And they wouldnt care bout ur discussion what album is the best!!)
@@noway6288 They were the best artists until Mark Knopfler started his solo career. Now they’re just barely in second place. MK’s solo albums are something that absolutely nobody can beat!
The ending part always reminds me of a group B rally car racing trough a forest and backfiring in the distance, the piano solo representing the pistons pumping at barely immaginabile speeds
This is the peak song by Dire Straits, coving a whole side of the Vinyl CD 😂 man just watching the needle slide from one point to another for 15mins, thats a joy indeed. Masterpiece

A long time ago came a man on a track Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back And he put down his load where he thought it was the best He made a home in the wilderness He built a cabin and a winter store And he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore And the other travellers came walking down the track And they never went further, no, they never went back Then came the churches, then came the schools Then came the lawyers, then came the rules Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads And the dirty old track was the Telegraph Road Then came the mines, then came the ore Then there was the hard times, then there was a war Telegraph sang a song about the world outside Telegraph Road got so deep and so wide Like a rolling river And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze People driving home from the factories There's six lanes of traffic Three lanes moving slow I used to like to go to work, but they shut it down I've got a right to go to work, but there's no work here to be found Yes, and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed We're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles They can always fly away from this rain and this cold You can hear them singing out their telegraph code All the way down the Telegraph Road Well, I'd sooner forget, but I remember those nights Yeah, life was just a bet on a race between the lights You had your head on my shoulder, you had your hand in my hair Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care But just believe in me, baby, and I'll take you away From out of this darkness and into the day From these rivers of headlights, these rivers of rain From the anger that lives on the streets with these names 'Cause I've run every red light on memory lane I've seen desperation explode into flames And I don't want to see it again From all of these signs saying, "Sorry, but we're closed" All the way Down the Telegraph Road Traducir al español
I only heard this song for the first time a couple of years ago, gave it a like and when it ended I text my dad to complain that he had never played me it when he knows I love a song that tells a story, it turns out he didn't have the album so I got him it for Christmas, he got me into them
According to interviews this epic song led to Mark getting the job of making the soundtrack of Local Hero. One of the movie classics of all time in my opinion, with an amazing soundtrack!
One of my worse regret was when the concert I was supposed to go to see dire straits in France has been cancelled. Mark Knofler just broke his leg two days before!
Knopfler is the undisputed king of outros. And this one is the gold standard. All while this song is a masterpiece in so many additional ways.
i'm 20yo and will never understand how most young people cannot listen to songs longer than 4-5 minutes. this is my favorite song of all time and I never, never get tired of it. it simply is beyond my understanding how can it be so good. i wish I'd seen Knopfler and the Straits live, what a time to be alive!

Arguably the best song ever written
Can't argue with that
Hold on he has a point
I would disagree with the arguably bit
Th er red been a lot of classic songs 🤩 I was
No argument from me 😅😅. Just a stunning track from start to the very end. Great story writing with the usual 1st class musicianship we expect from DS. Particularly love the interplay between piano and guitar.
Music to dream... Fantastic Dire Straits... The greatest band in the world, today and forever!! ❤️🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of the best songs ever written
C'est sublime merci
I fully agree
The last 5 minutes are absolute perfection
hi from Czech republic pal, so I like Dire straits too, have a good time and sun not only in the sky
Yes. These minutes are maybe one of the best times of rock music!!!
And the previous 9 ones are amazing
One of the best, maybe THE best song ever! Starts very slowly and the rhythm/tempo goes up, so unique but great! Thanks for this great song Mark!👍
Agreed. Rhythm and tempo makes it a great "car travelling" song,I might add. How else are towns built? The lyrics speak for itself. Thank you Mr. Knopfler for entertaining us throughout the memorable years.🤗💥😁⚔️💝
Definitely the best, I even think at all.

Děkuji za info,pane. Je to asi jedna z pěti něj..
Totalement d’accord et Money For Nothing aussi
IMHO....TOL tops this.

Absolut, I agree👌
Best song ever made.
Music and lyrics are just a match made in heaven
The whole album is masterful too
Years on I love the vibes (vibraphone) at the end of It Never Rains as it fades out. Stunning. Only 5 songs, but what a five - no filler! ♥️
They have 6 great albums out of 6. One of the best discographies ever
One of your masterpieces! I've heard it so many times, and it still gives me goose bumps every time! Even 10 minutes later! Thank you! Servus from the heart of Bavaria

This is my favorite Dire Straits album for sure, this album is just incredible to me.
Dire Straits' most epic song! 🎸🎶❤
yes indeed - the mastery of Dire Straits lives
This has to be the very best of DS as well as MK killing the ending.... he is masterful at what he does and may it continue for a very long time to come... Love it...
Legend 😊

Many thanks, Mark, for this masterpiece I discovered 35 years ago and I keep listening with as much emotion 🙂
Same here, can’t get enough of that masterpiece ❤
now this is what you call a certified strai(gh)t EPIC
Arguably one of the best piece of art ever made
Happiness comes to those who do not expect it 🎉😊
What a track what a band what an album 💿 absolutely superb
vraiment génial à écouter en voyage, en regardant le paysage défiler...
It's sounds so easy and that is the masterpiece. Music for the heart and soul.
The masters DIRE STRAITS.
Don't remember if this album was commercially successful but it's their best. Especially this track.
A great one indeed! But not even close to "Brothers in Arms" sorry!
@@noway6288 No offence taken. Can't think of a Dire Straits album that I didn't like.

Mark Knopfler doesn't write lyrics, he writes stories
Una auténtica obra de arte musical 👏😍🎸💯👏
As someone who's been listening to this every day for the past few weeks, this came as a surprise to say the least. A very welcome one!
Fantastic track
Ho 62 anni, ascolto rock da sempre, non so come ho fatto a conoscere solo adesso questo capolavoro!
Mark Knopfler leggenda!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Music for someone who go out of this world , just for a beatiful dream !❤
This tune immediately takes me back to November 1982 , Windhoek Namibia
A truly great guitar solo at the end of this song.
Fantastic song and solo,amazing band!❤
The ending part always reminds me of a group B rally car racing trough a forest and backfiring in the distance, the piano solo representing the pistons pumping at barely immaginabile speeds
I imagine horses running in the hills escaping from lighting
This Is a very good music..
I'm an italian women and I love that sound!!!❤❤❤
one of the most amazing songs that I've heard❤
Number 1 , of the world ❤
I love telegraph road☺️😘🎸❤️
Fantastic Dire ❤
Brilliant track
This is the peak song by Dire Straits, coving a whole side of the Vinyl CD 😂 man just watching the needle slide from one point to another for 15mins, thats a joy indeed. Masterpiece
DIRE STRAITS FO-RE-VER! Greatful Respect. Greetings from Lithuania.
Greetings from England

Just listened to this song on vinyl, it is so beautiful:)
Habia oìdo esta banda pero no conocìa su nombre, Si bien es cierto es de la dècada de los 70, su calidad es sencillamente extraordinaria. DIRE STRAIST, mùsica de otra galaxia.
Los seguirè disfrutando.
Mis saludos desde Chile.
The song that no one can imitate.....
Most epic song ever
As I was a teen, I studied hearing this song...so cute. Now I'm 56
I'm 56....born 68....greatest song ever...we were lucky to be around great music....different planet...Greetings from Dublin
A long time ago came a man on a track
Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back
And he put down his load where he thought it was the best
He made a home in the wilderness
He built a cabin and a winter store
And he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore
And the other travellers came walking down the track
And they never went further, no, they never went back
Then came the churches, then came the schools
Then came the lawyers, then came the rules
Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
And the dirty old track was the Telegraph Road
Then came the mines, then came the ore
Then there was the hard times, then there was a war
Telegraph sang a song about the world outside
Telegraph Road got so deep and so wide
Like a rolling river
And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze
People driving home from the factories
There's six lanes of traffic
Three lanes moving slow
I used to like to go to work, but they shut it down
I've got a right to go to work, but there's no work here to be found
Yes, and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed
We're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed
And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles
They can always fly away from this rain and this cold
You can hear them singing out their telegraph code
All the way down the Telegraph Road
Well, I'd sooner forget, but I remember those nights
Yeah, life was just a bet on a race between the lights
You had your head on my shoulder, you had your hand in my hair
Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care
But just believe in me, baby, and I'll take you away
From out of this darkness and into the day
From these rivers of headlights, these rivers of rain
From the anger that lives on the streets with these names
'Cause I've run every red light on memory lane
I've seen desperation explode into flames
And I don't want to see it again
From all of these signs saying, "Sorry, but we're closed"
All the way
Down the Telegraph Road

They thought less of my soul through this song, they had no idea I have a soul and felt heartache and insight. I tried to engage and was blown off.
Pure genius.
El primer solo es simplemente emocionante, no existe palabras para describir lo que transmite esa guitarra.
Qualidade sonora não tem Igual Ótima trilha
I only heard this song for the first time a couple of years ago, gave it a like and when it ended I text my dad to complain that he had never played me it when he knows I love a song that tells a story, it turns out he didn't have the album so I got him it for Christmas, he got me into them
The area shown on the map in the video is Flat Rock, MI btw
Timeless masterpiece 🎶✨
Grande músico e cantor, maravilha de música.
Top 5 dire straits song

Legendary ❤
This is like Dire Straits' "Freebird" or "Green Grass and High Tides"
Right up there with the best ever.
According to interviews this epic song led to Mark getting the job of making the soundtrack of Local Hero. One of the movie classics of all time in my opinion, with an amazing soundtrack!
GRANDES INOLVIDABLES 💯👏🎸😍👍💯
One of my all time favourite songs ❤
Pure ART 💯
A bright look pleases the heart 💟😊🎉🎉🎉
first I heard this song in a college Cultural festival some 3 decades ago
