Lyrics:
getting crazy on the waltzers but it’s the life that i choose
sing about the sixblade sing about the switchback and a torture tattoo
and i been riding on a ghost train where the cars they scream and slam
and i don’t know where i’ll be tonight but i’d always tell you where i am
in a screaming ring of faces i seen her standing in the light
she had a ticket for the races just like me she was a victim of the night
i put a hand upon the lever said let it rock and let it roll
i had the one arm bandit fever there was an arrow through my heart and my soul
and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
and i’m just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love
it’s just the danger when you’re riding at your own risk
she said you are the perfect stranger she said baby let’s keep it like this
it’s just a cakewalk twisting baby step right up and say
hey mister give me two give me two cos any two can play
and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
and i’m just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love
well it’s been money for muscle another whirligig
money for muscle and another girl i dig
another hustle just to make it big
and rockaway rockaway
and girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
like the spanish city to me when we were kids
oh girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
like the spanish city to me when we were kids
she took off a silver locket she said remember me by this
she put her hand in my pocket i got a keepsake and a kiss
and in the roar of dust and diesel i stood and watched her walk away
i could have caught up with her easy enough but something must have made me stay
and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
and i’m just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love
and now i’m searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades
searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades
in any shooting gallery where promises are made
to rockaway rockaway from cullercoats and whitley bay out to rockaway
and girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did
like the spanish city to me when we were kids
girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did
like the spanish city to me when we were kids

When I was 22 I was working with street children in Ethiopia. One day a social worker and I were driving down south near the Kenyan border to visit another project there. In the car was just this one tape from Dire Straits with this song on it. The bumpy ride would take us 12 hours and we listened to this song probably a hundred times, watching the most gorgeous landscapes and sunsets I’ve ever seen. Most beautiful time of my life in the most beautiful country with the most beautiful music. I miss Africa so much...

The outro is the most beautiful, deeply emotional guitar work Mark has done in his celebrated career. Yes, it surpasses Sultans of Swing. It deserves to go down in history as one of the great, all-time guitar solos. I’m guessing Tunnel of Love just didn’t get the radio play of Stairway and some of the other iconic songs. Mark channels feeling through his instrument; the outro is even more powerful and heart rending than his very powerful lyrics.

As i sit here typing this, it is April 2020. I am 45 years old. I 1st heard of Dire Straits when i was 10 years old back in 1985 by my father. Very quickly, I was so obsessed with them. If you named a song i could tell you how long it went for, what album, what track number, & how many (if any) different versions (such as live) their were. Why? Emotional content. Because Mark Knopfler played/plays with emotional content, because i listened to it with emotional content. It is 2020, & nothing - and i mean NOTHING - grabs my heart as much as Mark Knopfler does!! Laugh at all me all you want, i don't care. But, like when i was 10 years old, at 45 i STILL wanna grow up to play like Mark Knopfler does. Nothing has moved me as much as his music. Nothing! I wish i was good enough to play guitar like Jimi Hendrix, Slash, Joe Satriani, .... but all i wanna do is just play like Mark Knopfler does. Naturally. Not forced. I STILL love it, & it STILL moves me, just like it did 35 years ago when i was 10 years old. Thanks for 43 or so years of great, invaluable music!

@@AchtungBaby77 It's all a bit murky. There are interviews with Pick on KZfaq where he skates around the issue, (maybe for legal reasons?) as does J Illsley in his book on life in the band. He and M Knopfler met up with him. He anounced he was leaving, and that was that. Illsley doesn't really expand much further. Perhaps it was a combination of much touring, personality clashes and musical direction that made Pick leave? There's a rather vague but well documented "alleged" quote from Pick saying he left because he was "in danger of becoming a rock drummer". Just my opinion here, but I can't imagine Pick on the Brothers In Arms album. A different animal to what went before it. But I can imagine him on the last album. Whatever....a truly great drummer.
@dondrapersayswhat Жыл бұрын
@@AchtungBaby77 From what I understand is Pick viewed himself as a jazz guy and thought the band's poppish direction wasn't for him. It was a creative fulfillment thing. Probably it was a lot more complicated than that but that's just the gist as I've heard it.

LYRICS Getting crazy on the waltzers but it's the life that I choose Yeah sing about the sixblade sing about the switchback and a torture tattoo And I been riding on a ghost train where the cars they scream and slam And I don't know where I'll be tonight but I'd always tell you where I am In a screaming ring of faces I seen her standing in the light She had a ticket for the races yeah just like me she was a victim of the night I put my hand upon the lever said let it rock and let it roll I had the one arm bandit fever there was an arrow through my heart and my soul And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above And I'm just high on the world Come on and take a low ride with me girl On the tunnel of love yeah-eah love It's just the danger when you're riding at your own risk She said you are the perfect stranger she said baby let's keep it like this It's just a cake walk twisting baby yeah step right up and see Hey mister give me two give me two now cos any two can play And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above And I'm just high on the world Come on and take a low ride with me girl On the tunnel of love whoa-oah love Well it's been money for muscle on a another whirligig Money for muscle and a another girl I dig Another hustle just to just to make it big And Rockaway Rockaway Oh Rockaway Rockaway And girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did Oh like The Spanish City to me when-a we were kids Yeah girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did Oh like The Spanish City to me when-a we were kids Check it out She took off a silver locket she said remember me by this She put her hand in my pocket I got a keepsake and a kiss And in the roar of dust and diesel I stood and watched her walk away I could have caught up with her easy enough but something must have made me stay And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above And I'm just high on this world Come on and take a low ride with me girl On the tunnel of love yeah-eah love love love On the tunnel of love whoa-oah love love And now I'm searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades Searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades In any shooting gallery where promises are made To Rockaway Rockaway Rockaway Rockaway from Cullercoats and Whitley Bay out to Rockaway And girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did Like The Spanish City to me when we were kids Girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did Like The Spanish City to me when-a we were kids

I’ve been sat here for a while now in the car, trying to piece together what this song means. For other songs by Dire Straits, it’s easy to analyse and decipher, with Romeo and Juliet, Brothers In Arms, Sultans Of Swing, So Far Away etc… But I don’t think I can ever fully understand what this song is trying to say. I figure I’ll always be guessing, but hey! Away we go

What has been lost is "time" my friend...Something none of us will ever get back.So we always come back here for memories ,coz even though we've lost time,friends and family etc. The music will always carry us back. Reminiscing whilst floating across notes, harmonies,vocals,drums and guitars. Knowing we will always be safe and feel loved if we just hold on to this brilliant ,classic , (which will always remain timeless) so it can continue to carry us all the way across the universe and the heavens where we almost kiss the time and the people that we once lost.

This song reminds me of someone I met a few years ago. I met her at a nightclub where a live band was playing. We had a blast, dancing to almost every song. At the end, we hugged and parted ways, because we lived in very different worlds that we had to go back to. I found myself wishing I could recapture that moment in time, just like the guy in the song. It makes me think of her and brings back bittersweet memories.
