I'm only 14 years old, but Mark Knopfler is one of my favourite artists.

Mark Knopfler is my drug of choice. Just listening to him is medicine. I always feel good after listening to him. He is quite the man.

To all the people that are here intentionally....U have amazing taste...and to all who are here by accident,you are very lucky.

When you're very young and your favorite guitarist comes to be Mark Knopfler in DIre Straits (Alchemy), and years later you hear this comforting song, "Sailing to Philadelphia", and ten years later you read Thomas Pynchon's Mason & Dixon, and you return to "Sailing to Philadelphia" some years later and realize he's writing about that book. Oh, shoot, @MarkKnopfler has a big brain.

He is one of those people that understand that notes are only as important as the silences between them.

Your songs area drug that I inject whenever I see the Icon of KZfaq App. I am 23 but I don't know if this generation is going to realise that noisy songs and too much autotune won't survive as this type of songs that will surely last forever. I am glad I grew up in a family that used to play Sultan of swings and So far away... Mark Knopfler, you have stamped your mark in this world forever. Thanks for everything.

I worked with Mark at the Yorkshire Post when he first had a band. A thoroughly nice guy.

Hes like a fine wine, mellowing and maturing with age. Hits just the right notes and just the right amount, never overdoes it. Singing in his now unique way, just enough. He could go on like this forever. Hopefully will!

ive admired many guitarists through my 60 years but mister knopfler is definitely the most influential and watchable

Mark is a rare gem born on this planet. Bless him.

What's wrong with me? When immersed in Mark and his incredibly talented musicians on YT my eyes usually well up and sometimes tears roll down my cheeks. If family are not around (like now) I weep when the music stops. But when listening to the same orchestrations on Spotify, I somehow manage to keep it together and feel joy. No other artist does this for me. Is it just emotional overload from feeling like I am in the audience?

Who is watching in 2024 ?

It was my fate from birth to make my mark upon this earth. I was a civil construction engineer and Mark made me realize that I did just that.

With the percussion I can hear the waves slapping against the ship’s hull as it plows through the sea on its way to America. Everything about this performance is perfect to me.

How crazily amazing is Mark!!!... God showed off on August 12, 1949 indeed!..❤

The best there is. Insanely good

Mark and the crying Fender..what a genius...the best composer of all time.... Thank you GOD for giving us such a musical soul

Thank you, Mark, you were part of my childhood and adolescence and now you're part of my adult life! With all your classics and also beautiful songs from your solo career, all the lyrics and melodies touch my heart! I'm going to take you as my favorite composer to the end of my life!

Living in remote place , picking olives. Only entertainment was Greek radio. I fell in love with this song. Thanks for your company when I was so lonely

Mark, you are oone of God's greatest gifts. I appreciate you man!

I'm what's called a numismatist. I also deal in rare coins so I'm known as a coin dealer. But anyone with a few bucks can "deal" in coins but those of us who actually study history and use these little spheres of knowledge to do so are called numismatists and we are considered a notch above from a standpoint of knowledge certainly about rare coinage. Mark Knopfler is a great guitarist and musician. In my opinion he is certainly Hendrix material but musically, lyrically, Mark is even on a different level than Hendrix or Clapton or even some of the classical guitarists, he's deeper, and he understands history and it's importance to study, like Telegraph Road, the Mason Dixon line etc. Mark if a "coin dealer" would be a Numismatist. and I would be honored to call him a fellow numismatist or coin weanie ha! Thank you Mark, your music will forever be in my soul, would just like to share a meal with you sometimes

Where the talent exceeds the limit, there is Knopfler.

What a fantastic songwriter…the morning tide has raised the capes of Delaware..come up and feel the sun.. a new morning has begun..

His piercing blue eyes full of disdain are aimed at reporters. He loves his music, his band and us! Every gig starts with a heartfelt "How are you?". Love him

I've loved Mark's work for 40 years now and I believe I'll love it even more when I keep getting older.

♥️🎶👍his guitar playing melts my heart …add his voice and I’m a huge puddle.

God.....what a beautiful song this is...its silence conquers my heart..Thank you Mark. You're just amazing..

The strings of your guitar are whispers and your voice is sweet as honey. What a song, what an artist!

song still makes me misty eyed. god bless you mister knopfler.

He is the Local Hero and we are fools to make war on our brother's in arms. Piper to the end

I'm a durham lad and i could sit and watch Mark noodling about on an acoustic all day. Superb

Mark's passion during this most beautiful performance brings a tear to my eye. God has truly blessed us with this musician.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful!!!

Love the style of brushes that the drummer used in this song I would class this as the best record that Mark ever wrote and performed with James Taylor the song is a master class on story telling, the song is based on a true story of two Englishmen Sailing To Philadelphia. The two men have long been forgotten, They do not have graves to actually tell future generations where they are buried.

Really; this is how history can and should be taught, as well as the poetry of a beautiful land, and a beautiful man...peace Can you imagine a classroom full of say, eight year olds, reading the Founding Papers, and just laying back and listening. That would not be a boring class, and a room full of us doesn't hurt, either.

Probably my favorite song when I'm in a philosophical mood.

"How nice to see you all. How are you?" What an amazing man, so kind.

I was turned onto Mark by Princess Di when she responded “dire straits” when asked who her favorite band was. Thanks Di !

One of my favorite songs. It's sad that so many people these days have no appreciation for the lives that built the USA and the freedom it offers to all. My heart weeps for Philadelphia and what it has become.

Hey Mr Knopfler, I am not sleepy and I have no place for going to. Hey Mr Knopfler, in my jingle jangle morning I'll come following you.

His tone - his words - his musical excellence. Such a great great talent. Love you Mark

It's a History lesson set the music🎶 Mark Knopfler is a great Songwriter Sending Love and Best wishes from🇩🇪 Deutschland !!! ❤

Truly great. The most underrated musical genius of all time

The shine on mr Knopfler’s eyes while he sings is just… priceless

MARK KNOPLER THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BLESSING OUR SOULS WITH YOUR BEAUTIFUL MELODIES I HAVE LISTENED TO YOU SINCE MY YOUTH IN LIMA PERU NOW IN 2022 I LIVE IN SÃO PAULO BRAZIL GOD BLESS YOU WITH GREAT HEALTH AND LONG LIFE.

I grew up in WV, within a couple miles of the MDL where it turns south along the Ohio River. I probably crossed over this point a thousand times rarely thinking about the significance of it. This song sets me straight.

Man, that last part. Perfect!

Tears goosebumps happiness a true essence of creativity Music for me is everything and so much more I raise my glass to you Your music has been a precious gift in my life

Grazie Mark, ti ho visto alla Royal Albert Hall, ancora sto sognando.

mark is a poet,singer, guitarist. he is the best artist on the earth

I didn't discover this man until I was 40, but he and Dire Straits just get better and better.

Mark músico inigualable! ...hermosa voz y letras...y rodeado de músicos de primer nivel! Felicitaciones! Admirado siempre! Desde Bs.Aires Argentina, un Abrazo!

In this version it is the Very best

so beautiful, it makes me cry

To Greg I miss you so much...it hurts. Please be okay, surrounded by peacefulness and love. This one's for you, Greg! Always. 💙

You really don't need Audible. Just listen to Mark Knopfler. He tells a story with deftness, capturing from the opening and holding you to the last page. Every song tells a tale, be it history, love, longing or loneliness. An artist of rare ability and we are grateful. Thank you so much, sir.

I’m old now have loved all of Marks music. My dream would be to see him perform in person

Mark's and Dire Straits will always be the best music to exist to me. I love how Guy Fletcher is on the piano.

Can't believe, I heard this song first near Wilmington, as I had passed Philadelphia on I-95 going down to Delaware. Had to pull up on the side of the highway, and take in the magic...! Truly felt a magical hand in that song being sung at just the opportune moment. I'm a trucker, and god bless, have heard songs that make my day in the most amazing ways...

Luckily we can listen to best of best these days at the ouch of the button, It was different back then. Thanks

Danke Mr. Mark Knopfler! Sie sind ein Mega Geschenk! Sie berühren meine Seele sehr Tief!!! Greatings from Germany Rheinland Pfalz

Я тебя Марк очень люблю.Ты для меня не просто музыка,ты свет души,и красота.Ты красота полета,маленький кусочек счастья.Ты душа,которая умеет летать.Спасибо тебе за это.

Da 40 anni ti ascolto. La tua chitarra ha ritmato i periodi più belli della mia vita. Non c'è giorno che non ti ascolti. Buona vita Mark

Mes nuits d’insomnies, je les passe avec Mark, il adoucit mes peines, il me met en joie, cet homme est un génie et je l’aime tant

Sublime masterpiece. Lyrics and music show all the poetry of an immense songwriter. Thank you Mark.

The great Mister Knopfler often makes me cry with his creative genius mastery. Genius.

Ecoutez, fermez les yeux et laissez vous emporter, c'est magnifique.......

The legend guitar player & voice...Could ride hours & hours by listening him and Dire Straights..😎

O.M.Goodness, the most beautiful guitar I've ever heard. Mr. Mark Knopfler, your music touches my soul.

This arrangement is gorgeous...the drumbeats are the waves crashing on the ship's hull as it sails...the flute is the seabirds flying overhead.

I heard first time Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits sultans of swing in the radio) when I was 10 years old in 1977. Then I didn't known who the dire straits were, but the song impresed me too much. After some years in the early 80's I heard again "Romeo and juliet" (probably the best song written of all times) when I was 13, since then Dire Straits and MK were one of the best, some times Pink Floyd, some times Dire Straits are the number one, both are the number 1 & 2 for sure, my heart is divided by both.

I can't hardly explain what this man's music does to me, I'm crying from a sadness and a joy that absolutely overflows from Mr. K

I'm 20 years old and i've been a fan of Mark for as long as i can remember. Such pure and raw talent and emotion. It's a special thing being able to share this music with my grandparents who listened to it when it was new and still love it to this day. It brings people together, this is what music should be.

In my opinion this is the greatest song ever written, and this performance of it is truly breath taking, The look in marks eyes gets me everytime , Feel honoured

A million times and I can’t get enough of this piece! My legend thank you!

'It was my fate from birth to make my mark upon this earth"You sure did Thank You!!!🎸🎶💃❤️

Always loved this song...and in 2020 even more grateful for it transporting me to a different place

Mark is always measering up our great feelings with his hands in guitar Knopfler is always leaving his marks upon our heart with his songs Thank God the stars guided us here to listen this fabulous master piece: Mark-Knopfler line. Best regards from a Brazilian surveyor. ❤🌎

Ohne Worte. Bin fassungslos..... bin mittlerweile 53 ,stand vor 30 Jahren schon vor ihm. Man kann das nicht erlebt haben.

i just love it. play it over and over

Perfection from the most talented music/songwriter this country will ever produce, a true one-off. Hearfelt thanks for making my fathers (a mackem), my own and my grown son life memories so special.

Sow sensitive and great composer , gitar player . Absolutely unique ❤️ I love him so much 💚

Thank you Macca on ABC radio for playing this great classic so we all can reminese❤.

Who does watching It now 2021 ? ... Beautiful song ... !

story telling through song.....how lucky we are to be here....a lost art....thank you Mark and Company......

With a middle name of Dixon as a boy I was embarrassed, My family come from Cockfield and listening to this I feel so proud

This evening with Mark Knopfler at the Atrium is for me one of the best stage performances full of finesse with a lot of soul A lifelong fan...

I accidentally came upon this song shortly after reading Thomas Pynchon's stupendous book "Mason and Dixon". The song perfectly captures the tone and story line of that great work and is superbly complimentary.

I love the fact that you can see tons of different languages in the comments section. Makes me think how music is universal and touches different people from different cultures. Mark, you're the best! 😋

A man with matured music, fantastic voice and God given guitar skills. God bless.

A sublime musician that sings with no effort and makes his guitar talk. have been listening to him since Dire Straits 1st Album and I hope he never stops singing...

mark bring us to another world .. your music will be for always mark i m 18 years old

Very much enjoyed this. A top band in all parts with the incomparable Mr Knopfler. I especially noticed the great drumming, the constant brush on the snare, underpinning the performance. Lovely! 🌟🎶👍

Awesome. I listen to this song once a week. Reminds me that we all make our mark and matter.

There are Musicians and there are story tellers. Mark is both. It seams like every song of his tells a story. You could actually see them making a movie about some of his songs.

You’re one talented man !!! Your music helped me after I woke up from a coma after having knee surgery. Too much anesthesia I think. It was the only music that would help me relax enough to sleep. After waking I was up three days n nights in the hospital so I played brothers in arms mostly ,quite a lot. Thank you 😊

최고다.... 마크노플러의 예쁜 기타 소리에 무덤덤한듯 매력있는 목소리....

It doesn’t get better than this. Few songs bring me to tears.

I don’t know what it is but Mark hits a frequency I just can’t get enough of.
