About 5 more weeks and then I'm leaving, we lost the battle against cancer. This song will accompany me on my journey. I met my wife at a Mark Knopfler concert and this was the song that was played during our wedding, now it will accompany me on my final journey.

A twelve year old boy was playing this outside Newcastle United’s football ground just over a week ago, Mark Knopfler saw a video of the lad and sent him a signed vinyl copy of the song wishing him all the best and told him to keep at it. What a down to earth legend.

@@michael5089 Oh damn that looks terrible 😦 Apologies all, I'm so sorry. Can't say for sure as this was a big night for me 🍻🍹& lots of great music. Have a fair idea though as 2nd time re random comment, last time it was stupid fat possum 😂 Appears I have left ones device on the bed late one night after a few drinks, music & falling asleep. Probably not waking to ones child in the room beside me who has likely come into my bed after waking to the 2 brat white dogs who live at the house behind us that bark, yap & howl all night if left out especially if there's lots of possums around on our shared fence. "Stupid fat possum" jumped on our roof near her room one night & was quite loud = the 1st comment/time I looked like I left a weird comment & hopefully this is the last. I was listening to this earlier & she must have been angry at the dogs for waking her up & found I'd left this beside me & wanted to tell you all about them. I'm so sorry & will delete the comment. Thought the OP's comment was awesome. Kudos to Mark, the young talented dude & whoever introduced this brilliant song to him, great taste. Btw not a dog hater, got a Border Collie x Kelpie - much cooler & quieter dog though 😂 Honestly these dogs are so annoying but sadly owners are worse & wont change. I'll just try to remember to stash my device better on nights like this lol gotta laugh if you knew the madness here some nights with this - close to emergency services & frequent sirens & their dogs are the kind who bark & wail to sirens, good times but at least this was a good night for me 😉😁

Many years ago, in the distant days of Blockbuster, I rented "Local Hero" to watch with my mother. She was dying, a long and terrible death. I'd seen the movie before, remembered it fondly, and figured it could lift both our moods. It succeeded beyond anything I'd hoped. At the end, we both were crying while smiling as Knopfler played this tune into the credits. My mother and I hardly ever agreed on anything -- taste, politics, life choices -- but we agreed the movie was wonderful, magical, enchanting. She died a few weeks later. I tried watching the movie again some years ago, but it just didn't feel right. I couldn't make it to the ending. But I listen to the "Going Home" theme fairly often. It always brings a smile to my face. And some tears.

I've always liked Dire Straits, never been a massive fan. Though, I do have Brothers in Arms on vinyl. Yes bought in the 80's. I've also had a guitar since the mid 80's but never took it seriously. Now I'm retired I decided to get the old acoustic out of mothballs. lo and behold it still sounds tuneful. But I was still pretty crap at it. Only the odd riff. But at the start of the pandemic I set myself a goal, (as I wasn't going to spend much of my retirement out and about}, to learn to play properly. So I bought some kindle books on chords and other guitar magic and set about my task. Whilst checking out the guitar teachers on KZfaq ( which may I say has helped tremendously ) I came across this video of Mark Live in London playing Going Home. That was it I was hooked. I can play it pretty much all the way through now, with the occasional (fingers crossed) incorrect note. At the beginning of the pandemic I set my target and my reward would be a new guitar, as the old one I've had since the 80's which was given to me by a neighbour. That new guitar is now wrapped up under the xmas tree and I can't wait to break it out and practice Going Home on it. So thank you Mark Knopfler for giving me the inspiration to keep going though out this dreadful year. A merry Christmas to everyone and hopefully a better new year.

When I was young in the Navy in the early 80s we were at sea and on repeat was Dire Straits on the ship radio. At the time I thought ‘not again’ but when you have been through various conflicts over the years, songs resonate. I was always happy to be going home to see my folks and ‘come back to earth.’ Songs like this and ‘Brothers in arms’ represent that era and are emotional for some of us.

One of the greatest pieces of music ever written. Up there with the Masters, Knopfler is a genius.

Every time I come back to this performance I'm reminded why this is one of my absolute favourite pieces of music. I don't listen to it often, but this is the only piece that makes me feel the need to stop everything I'm doing and give it all my attention, every single time. There's just nothing like it.

As a Newcastle United fan this tune has been an anthem for us for years and the players enter the pitch to this

Certainly in the top ten I would say . Mark and Lyndsey Buckingham are two of the most underrated guitarists ever !!

My favorite movie of all time. I have asked my family to play this at the social gathering after my funeral.

I could playback this song for many thousands of times till I am on my deathbed and still wouldn't be tired of it. It would be on my will to have this song played on my funeral.

I told my husband to play this song on my funeral. He's gone not long after that😢😢 I still love this song despite I have to listen to it alone...Going to Mark's concert together is the only thing we haven't done it...

I find all Marks music very emotional now in later years, they just remind me of something, or someone or even sometime from the past. Just like this one does, I am now sat up on my couch at 06.30am with a cup of tea with my ear buds in while my wife is still sound asleep, tear in my eye enjoying the past. Beautiful.

I really like how Mark is looking at the band and smiling - like it's not about putting on a show to impress people but simply about playing music even if there was an audience there or not.

Wonderful comment, and in a band that is just how it should be. Everyone totally enjoying the moment, fabulous video.

@oliveringram3056 3 жыл бұрын

Totally agree, no jumping around and prancing about on stage, just gets on with playing to perfection.

So wonderful to see all the moving comments on here about MK and this song. It never fails to raise goosebumps on me, just like the final scene of Local Hero while it's playing. Have seen Mark many times over the years, both Dire Straits and solo, so grateful he always finishes with this tune. And now with the fantastic Guitar Gods charity song and video he's raised it another notch for a wonderful cause. I sincerely hope he's not done touring, even if on a more limited basis. Favorite artist of my past fifty+ years.
