He is the Godfather of the guitar, one in 10 million, lm 70 enjoyed his music for decades

When my dear sweet 98 year old dad was passing i played this song for him . My head was on his heart as he took his last breath. He wasn't afraid of dying, he just loved living. ❤

Play this at my funeral, one of the most beautiful songs!

,Sorry my english is not so good.but i hope you under stand me..i com from Russia ( Novosibirsk )and life in Germany with my german husband.He say to me: Look for this guitar player,after this moment, i love the Songs from Mark,all time

OMG - I am crying here listening to this beautiful man, band and song.

The song is about Knopfler's uncle Freddie ( mother side : Frederick John Laidler ) who was a piper of the 1st Battalion, Tyneside Scottish, the Black Watch, Royal Highland Regiment. Freddie carried his pipes into action in World War II and was killed with fellow fighters at Ficheux, near Arras in the north of France in May 1940. He was just 20 years old. Knopfler describes the moment of Freddie's death in the latter's own words: This has been a day to die on Now the day is almost done Here the pipes will lay beside me Silent with the battle drum

This will be my sailing away tune, the one where you don't come back, on the one way ticket, but you know we never really leave, ever!

72 years old now and still going strong God Bless him and keep him safe.

Mark's raw material is pure feeling emotion love... how i adore him, his songs ...... everything!!..🫠❤🎶🎸💋💋💋

Stunning - should be Scotland's national anthem.

A piper friend of ours recently died and had his funeral with this music playing. Beautiful.

All of his compositions are fantastic, but this is one you really have to work hard to hold in the tears, but once they start it's harder to stop

He is a real living legend.

How did Mark Knopfler make all theese masterpice??? Cant understand how one man can make so much feelings❤. Respeckt from Norway.

Mark has to be one of the most inspired songwriters ever. His lyrics are so amazing...

could listen to this song for hours, spectacular guitar solo, the Knopfler sound is spectacular. Mark is a Master

Actually we had this particular song at the funeral of our brother, who died in an awful car accident. We will never forget this song, it was so well choosen as he had always been a big fan of Dire Straits, right from the beginning.

So beautiful & the song is about his Uncle Freddie OMG truely beautiful & moving ❤️

Damn, I envy that crowd. They have witnessed Mark producing something magical from his guitar. Such worldclass playing!

Everything he touches turns to gold. I love this man!

I love this man.

What a beautiful song right out of Scotland just like Mark.

Listening Mark is listening che sound of Scotland, Scotland magic and wonderful. How much I love this man and his music! We will return to our land, I 'm Italian but that is my land.

I am a big Knopfler fan, but this is by far my favorite song

Just class heard this song thousands of times but keep looking for more

Oh my God, this man never fails to tear me up. I should have known it would be like that as far back as Sultans of Swing but you know, sometimes you just don't see it coming.

Wonderful song and sublime guitar solo, Mark is endlessly astonishing with his pieces of art. Hats off maestro!

It is hard to describe how comforting snd healing this song is for me-- like spiritual medicine for my soul.

Fusione di due grandissimi artisti,eclatante musica,indimenticabili!❤❤❤❤❤ ❤

Hugs the soul when you need one. Wonderful man for gifting us w his music. I can still remember the day listening to Dire Straits debut album

Thank you for this exquisite tune

When there is no Mark Knopfler in heaven I will be going down below cheers you are amazing brilliant sir Knopfler

One of my ancestors was english and scottish and i love great britain!!!even more than my country probably because a piece of my heart stay here....

THE BEST SONG OF MEMORIES

Saw him in October at Sony theatre in Toronto..! He did not disappoint..! Three encores... later, everyone was happy..!

This is and has been the place I retreat to, friends from 30+ years of dear friends. Most have passed in life, but my mind still sees them next to me...they welcomed me into their lives and family. Beautiful friends, old white guy from Austin, TX. I am lost sometimes, but thankful.

Tears

This is amazing song and his group.. Mark is a great singer.

Can't help but shed tears when listening to this song especially in times of grief or reflection. God bless this man and many thanks to him for sharing his beautiful and masterful talents with the world.

Beautiful song, and what a consummate musician/pro that Mark is. He has no problem sharing the stage with other players, and he has no problem backing them up like he's doing here. He doesn't overplay like others, and maintains/controls his volume just right to complement the song and his band. It's easier said than done. A pro's pro.

I’m a Northumbrian and this song melts me so much... it’ll see me out..😢

I so much Love this lovely touching song, so poignant, bittersweet.. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All the stars! Many Thanks for sharing this here!

So so beautiful, I love Marks voice

There are men who speak to the most affectionate and secretive part of our soul and so make it clear that you like to call on you: GOD BLESS YOU BEATIFUL MEN!!!

I just wish his guitar solos were longer they are so sweet

This is one of the most deeply felt song with word's of genuine heart with my own feelings in each strum, note and chord! It is sad with the honesty of believing that there will be place for all our purest heart's to be as one! That was beautiful!🌹Heart to Heart!🌹 Your Guide to Happiness! I know! ❤ I Love You.Wisdom comes with age and experiences with others and God! Namaste.💖 Respectively KathyL.Lyons💖 The most precious of wonderments you give me each step in every way!

I'll never tire of this! I'm a listener to the end.

Would that I could give Mark and his band 1,000 thumbs up! Humbled by this beauty.

OMG! Thank you, Mark

Beautiful song!

Lyrics: When I leave this world behind me To another I will go If there are no pipes in heaven I'll be going down below If friends in time be severed Someday we will meet again I'll return to leave you never Be a piper to the end This has been a day to die for Now the day has almost gone Up above a choir of seabirds Turns to face the setting sun Now the evening dawn is calling And all the hills are burning red And before the night comes falling Clouds are lined with golden thread We watched the fires together Shared our quarters for a while Walked the dusty roads together Came so many miles This has been a day to die on Now the day is almost done Here the pipes will lay beside me Silent will the battle drum If friends in time be severed Someday here we will meet again I return to leave you never Be a piper to the end

I think it's a really beautiful song and so is the singer I love it.

Le musicien le plus talentueux de la planète terre.

Muito me encanta o estilo de tocar guitarra do Mark Knopfler, seus floreios, seu dedilhado. Pra mim ele é um dos melhores guitarristas de todos os tempos. E os músicos que o acompanham também são feras. Curto muito suas canções!
