@Basicboi999 "Six Blade Knife" the best of all? Six Blade Knife wouldn't even scrape into the top 50 Dire Straits songs, literally. And Telegraph Road isn't a ballad. A ballad would be "Love Over Gold", "Why Worry", or "Brothers in Arms". Telegraph Road is of the operatic/progressive rock epic genre, similar to "November Rain", Stairway to Heaven, Innuendo, Bohemian Rhapsody, The End, When the Music's Over, The Soft Parade, Wake Me Up When September Ends, Three Days, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Paradise by the Dashboard Light, American Pie, Gethsemane, Jokerman, Achilles' Last Stand, Kashmir, Echoes, Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding, MacArthur Park Suite, Fading Lights, In the Light, In My Time of Dying, Trilogy (Sonic Youth), The Diamond Sea, Taurus II, Crises, Crime of the Century, Rudy, Scenes from an Italian Restaurant, Horizon (Jon & Vangelis),A Day in the Life, Carouselambra, et al.
One of the best story tellers ever, one of the best writers ever, one of the best players ever. All with an amazing unmistakable sound that instantly says Dire Straits. They will be played as long as their are ways to play them. God blessed us with the greatest music since the original classical.
Ohne Zweifel ein super Song. Eine der Besten überhaupt. Mit wenig Hokus Pokus einfach genial. Dire Straits , für mich die Beste Band aller Zeiten. Der Sound einzigartig, fantastisch unerreicht. Sie begleten mich nun schon seit 47 Jahren.🎸👍
This song is magical. I have listened to it thousands of times, but I will never get tired of listening to it. The same quality you can hear on Sultans of Swing. Unforgettable and wonderful song. Thanks for the beauty Mark.
indeed. this is my favorite dire straits' track. Mr. Knopfler plays the resonator guitar as it should be played. they were invented before electric amplification of guitars for the purpose of projecting sound. they became especially popular among bluesmen playing in noisy bars in the mississippi delta 80 years ago. this song, and the resonator guitar in particular, possess an unsurpassed sonic beauty. yes, this song is not missing anything. anything missing would be on the part of the listener.
This song is perfect, needs nothing added and above all unique. Mark Knopfler is a song writing talent from above and has given his fans a perpetual high
This reminds me of being in college. Coming back to my room late at night after going out. Put this on with headphones and think of how great it is to be that age and not a real care in the world. I miss those days…
Living in a trailer in the middle of Texas . In the middle of nowhere. I long for the city. Got no car and feeling isolated. But, if I need a good cheering up, I go to the guitar man. Just like that song by Bread. Another band I can listen to anytime I want. Thank God for music that takes me back to my youth and all the good times I had. Even in my aunt's VW bug we listened to the radio and then on to my Uncle ( in the future ) Good Times Van. Smoked alota good weed and first time to try hash was in that van. On a album.cover with a strait pin and a small drinking glass, aided by a straw. The album was that Allman Bros. Album with the big peach on it. Those were the days. Can't really explain to the young folks. They are so brainwashed about wrong and right. To all the good times we had in that van. Going to the Brazos and camping out for the weekend. Playing parcheesy on a homemade board with marbles. Things were so much more clear and simple then. Peace Out. America
The guitar take the rhythm of a walk, the melody repeats almost the same pattern ( as a walk does) playing on dynamics until the variation that talks more closely about the girl and announces the closing of the story. All is like a short, magical story, a portrait painted with music and words.
One of their best and never radio played in USA. Who cares? Fans who love Mark 's incredible work with and after Dire Straits appreciate great under noted works like this. Real fans like to go deep into an artist's catalog. Knopfler's is very rich, diverse, extensive and most of all GREAT!!!!
This reminds me of when I lived in Norway ,79to81 .I lived in a tiny village called haltdarlen .it was a strange time for me ,an Aussie in Norway .god I loved listening to this band .I'm 60 now ,back in aus,I still love listening to these guys .💕
This is the BEST, I have had a struggle with addiction for many years and everytime I listen to this it grounds me and let's me live another day in sobriety, simply saved my life, forever thankfull!!!
wildwit If you want to hear this song with a guitar solo, check out a live version. Not only does he spice the tune up with his signature guitar playing but there's an unbelievable sax player on the song that just tears it up!
Yes my friend, I know there are many live versions with guitar and sax but I love the studio version even without guitar play. This is a wonderful song
This is my favorite song by Straights Knophler also Water of love I've been listening to these songs since I was 13 years old I'm 56 now 43 years and it still awesome to listen to today Mark Knophler and Glenn Campbell and Gerry Reid are the best guitar player and singer song writers of all time. Hopefully Mark will do one more tour i have seen him 7 times the last one was in 2019 at MSG NYC with Bonnie Rait awesome show they where both amazing!!!!!
I think Mark Knopfler’s abilities as a songwriter actually surpass his abilities with a guitar... Don’t get me wrong, he is God level as a guitarist, but he has written so many songs that are just so incredibly beautiful...
I worked as a street performer in the 80s in Portobello road. I recognise some of the people in the song. The "man on his back there escaping from a sack there" was a hard-drinking escapologist up at the top end near the Earl of Lonsdale who had one trick getting free of a chain he asked someone from the crowd to tighten, collect the money and down to the pub. He was miserable old bastard who had been there since the 50s I was told by some stallholders. He actually threatened me once cos I took his pitch and he was desperate for a drink. "The blind man singing Irish" was a blind busker on the corner further down the road. He collected his money in a kind of brass collection dish that organ grinders usually had. The song (he sang "about the long gone Irish girl" was "Molly Malone", (She wheels her barrow through streets broad and narrow etc) , with which MK also hinted at the long-gone-ness of the Belle. I don`t know who the "Belle" was but I imagined her as a crazy irish drinker who had kind of lost the plot("torn up all her roots,now")staggering round the street dancing and giving people a bit of lip etc. Great song.
Knopfler (both of them) brings a man's man aspect to pop music which you don't find too often and they do so without effort. The subject matter of this song could could have easily turned into an "A Team" (Sheeran) or "Another Day in Paradise" (Phill Collins). But this band takes on street scenes for what they are worth without exaggeration or missing anything. "Wild West End" is another example. And yet in songs that involve real emotion, e.g. "Romeo and Juliet" they capture it all. The lyrics aren't quite Dylan or The Beatles but their sound fills in a lot of the the gaps. Had they come on the scene ten years earlier they would have been embedded as an integral part of the "rock and roll sound' as a way to make an indelible impression song in an understated fashion. I still have their first four albums on vinyl. They (the group) still sound fresh.
@Callouscalculus Don't get carried away. By the time Dire Straits released their first album, there was to much to catch up with; there was no wave to ride. . Like Zappa, who did ride the wave, he has a PhD. You can tell he studied and more importantly absorbed what had had happened between 1963 to 1970-1971. And there are very few people that have done that. Western culture is still feeling the effects in the present day. That didn't happen with music from the first half of the 20th century. Zappa parodied what was happening as it happened. In some sense Dire Straits begins to wrap up the rock and roll era. Dylan is, like nobody else i,s transcendent. If T.S. Elliot wrote songs the words would have that same quality that you find in Dylan, transcendent. Dire Straits keeps day to day and very real. They make you want to pay close attention to the detail. The Beatles when they were were like the weather; they were every where. They established context in the cited period of time. And even after they broke up they alll had successful solo careers. Look at Harrison's "All Things Must Pass". - three records, six sides A lot of that were things that didn't get on the Beatles albums.
esta es la musica en su perfeccion gracias a mark knopfler compositor de grandes canciones de sentimientos agrios para todos los que sabemos yo creci comprando sus discos de vinilo en la decada de los 80 making movies love over golg brothers in arms u on every street la de miles de veces que habre escuchado su musica inclusive es la musica de mi boda a dia de hoy sigue siendo para mi el genio de mi vida
Belladonna's on the high street Her breasts upon the offbeat And the stalls are just the side shows Victoriana's old clothes And yes, her jeans are tight now She gotta travel light now She got to turn up all her roots now She got to turn up for the boots now She thinks she's tough She ain't no English rose Ah, but the blind singer He's seen enough and he knows Yes, and he do a song about a long-gone Irish girl Ah, but I got one for you, Portobello Belle She sees a man upon his back there Escaping from a sack there And Belladonna lingers Her gloves they got no fingers Yeah, the blind man sing in Irish He get his money in a tin dish Just a corner serenader Upon a time he could have made her, made her She thinks she's tough She ain't no English rose Ah, but the blind singer He's seen enough and he knows Yes, and he do a song about a long-gone Irish girl Ah, but I got one for you, Portobello Belle Yes, and the barrow boys are hawking And the parakeet is squawking Upon a truck there is a rhino She get the crying of a wino And then she hear the reggae rumble Belladonna's in the jungle But she is no garden flower There is no distress in the tower Belladonna walks Belladonna taking a stroll She don't care about your window box Or your button hole Yes, and she sing a song about a long-gone Irish girl Ah, but I got one for you, Portobello Belle
Je suis française et je ne comprends pas beaucoup les paroles ..qui pourrait me traduire ou m'expliquer le sens de cette chanson..? ce serait sympa merci
I have loved this track from first time around but always felt it was weak and missing something ,like the plodding acoustic guitar /piano doesn't do it justice and you think ,maybe a sax , lead guitar or synth solo would only add to it's charm and the whole album ,coming after the success of the first one, came in for some criticisim at the time .

This song is criminally underrated and underplayed. There are many "great" bands who are incapable of reaching this level of quality.
You’re correct this song is brilliant but I would lean towards Wild West End just topping it slightly
agreed totally underrated

A ballad would be "Love Over Gold", "Why Worry", or "Brothers in Arms".

I totally agree.Been a fan now for around 44 years,I have never tired of Mr.Knopfler.
Same for me! ❤

Mine too pal so underrated
Uhhh
Beautiful song from the days when Mark was still outside looking in. He lost this innocence with success.
This song is perfect, needs nothing added and above all unique. Mark Knopfler is a song writing talent from above and has given his fans a perpetual high
I fall in love with all the girls Mark sings about
❤
Nik - that’s perfect. How could you not? He paints a wonderful picture of said girls
Nik, you said it! "a long gong Irish girl"... Where?? Where???
This reminds me of being in college. Coming back to my room late at night after going out. Put this on with headphones and think of how great it is to be that age and not a real care in the world. I miss those days…
I still have the vinyl.
Listening this while cruising on a coast road alongside the French Riviera... Priceless
Don Elmediterraneo Beautiful

I married an Irish girl. 30 plus years and she still rocks.
... Congratulations .... Derry Martin ...
Chik
Thats your problem
I used to live in Lancaster road -off Portobello road . This song takes me back to the 80's when I lived there as a student....
We have a place called Portobello here in Dublin. Just before you enter in Rathmines.
Wonderful place to live in!
Liar. We don't believe you
Amazing song......i love dire straits
Me trae recuerdos y nostalgia a la vez.No puedo dejar de oirla una y otra vez❤

One of my fave dire straits songs
Wow, all this time later and it still swings with it's rock and beat,, and the lyrics so real and of the street
Mark Knopfler is Shakespeare of music lyrics, no one can put a song out like he can, now or ever.
Yes.. Well, I just agree.. Was about to write something, but how can you assess a restraint masterpiece?
This reminds me of when I lived in Norway ,79to81 .I lived in a tiny village called haltdarlen .it was a strange time for me ,an Aussie in Norway .god I loved listening to this band .I'm 60 now ,back in aus,I still love listening to these guys .💕
This is the BEST, I have had a struggle with addiction for many years and everytime I listen to this it grounds me and let's me live another day in sobriety, simply saved my life, forever thankfull!!!
perpetual bliss
No guitar solo, but one of the best songs

Yes my friend, I know there are many live versions with guitar and sax but I love the studio version even without guitar play. This is a wonderful song
@@wildwit, I agree. It's the simplicity of the melody that I love with this song.
Good old days
Indeed, seeing where the world is now. Crazy!
Great song, great band and Mark is the BEST🎸🎵👍
amazing band
C'è stato un periodo in cui la ascoltavo per tutto il santo giorno.
This is not a song. It is a world.
Awesome album! Great songs aplenty👋😊
Música maravilhosa!!!
Sin duda una de las mejores bandas de miusic
I love this songs.
Storytelling at its best, fantastic lyrics. Opening a a song with ' her breasts were on the off beat' is just lyrically genius and brave
This is my favorite song by Straights Knophler also Water of love I've been listening to these songs since I was 13 years old I'm 56 now 43 years and it still awesome to listen to today Mark Knophler and Glenn Campbell and Gerry Reid are the best guitar player and singer song writers of all time. Hopefully Mark will do one more tour i have seen him 7 times the last one was in 2019 at MSG NYC with Bonnie Rait awesome show they where both amazing!!!!!
Awesome song.....i loveeeeeee it!!!
I once New a Irish girl, she was tough in many ways...thanks MARK ✨...✨...
puro sound dire straits.
I think Mark Knopfler’s abilities as a songwriter actually surpass his abilities with a guitar...
Don’t get me wrong, he is God level as a guitarist, but he has written so many songs that are just so incredibly beautiful...
Best of the best Mark Knofler...
I'd love to argue that,but I'm not sure I can.
I think he is top Knotchpfler with both! All time great.
Pardon the wording but I think it applies.
Avevo vent'anni, e coi Dire ci sono cresciuto. Quasi cinquant'anni dopo, li ascolto ancora, spesso e con lo stesso piacere.
congratulations, the german gema hasn't found your upload for 6 yaers now, so its still watchable for germans on youtube without using a proxy :D

Wow....thanks bruhh for suggesting this song....loved it fr🥺🧡🧡
Me emociono cada ves que escucho esta canción. .
Dire Straits brought all the vibes you'll ever need. Something for everyone.
Have you heard the new live album from Dire Straits bassist John Illsley? Featuring Sultans of Swing, Money for Nothing and Romeo and Juliet...
I heard he is a helluva good bass player!:)
Dedicated to my Sister Betsy!! on the bannister of the Agora Ballroom in the ATL screaming, "that is the Giles' " we were trashed - it was 1979
Very good

Victoria Anne Logan ❤️
Was here 17 / 6/ 2022
Belladonna's on the high street
Her breasts upon the offbeat
And the stalls are just the side shows
Victoriana's old clothes
And yes, her jeans are tight now
She gotta travel light now
She got to turn up all her roots now
She got to turn up for the boots now
She thinks she's tough
She ain't no English rose
Ah, but the blind singer
He's seen enough and he knows
Yes, and he do a song about a long-gone Irish girl
Ah, but I got one for you, Portobello Belle
She sees a man upon his back there
Escaping from a sack there
And Belladonna lingers
Her gloves they got no fingers
Yeah, the blind man sing in Irish
He get his money in a tin dish
Just a corner serenader
Upon a time he could have made her, made her
She thinks she's tough
She ain't no English rose
Ah, but the blind singer
He's seen enough and he knows
Yes, and he do a song about a long-gone Irish girl
Ah, but I got one for you, Portobello Belle
Yes, and the barrow boys are hawking
And the parakeet is squawking
Upon a truck there is a rhino
She get the crying of a wino
And then she hear the reggae rumble
Belladonna's in the jungle
But she is no garden flower
There is no distress in the tower
Belladonna walks
Belladonna taking a stroll
She don't care about your window box
Or your button hole
Yes, and she sing a song about a long-gone Irish girl
Ah, but I got one for you, Portobello Belle
Je suis française et je ne comprends pas beaucoup les paroles ..qui pourrait me traduire ou m'expliquer le sens de cette chanson..? ce serait sympa merci

👌
❤❤❤❤🎉
dude it's not missing anything!
He sounds somewhat like Dylan at certain points in this song...
recently found out he pointed to dylan as a big influence. gotta dig up the interview on youtube yourself, sorry!
I have loved this track from first time around but always felt it was weak and missing something ,like the plodding acoustic guitar /piano doesn't do it justice and you think ,maybe a sax , lead guitar or synth solo would only add to it's charm and the whole album ,coming after the success of the first one, came in for some criticisim at the time .
I like it for exactly the reasons you don't. But it would be a sad day, if we all had the same take on music eh?
Sax solo in the live version! :)
I got a few for you too, babycakes.
Lucky you!

Escaping from a sack there
And Belladonna lingers
Her gloves they got no fingers
Blind man, he's singing the Irish
He get his money in a tin dish
Just a corner serenader
Once upon a time, he could have made her
She thinks she's tough
She ain't no English rose
But the blind singer
He's seen enough and he knows
He do a song about a long-gone Irish girl
But I got one of for you my Portobello Belle
Yes and these barrow boys are hawking
And a parakeet is squawking
Upon a truck paper rhino
She gets the crying of a wino
And then she gets the reggae rumble
Belladonna's in the jungle
But she ain't no garden flower
There ain't no distress in the tower
Belladonna walks
Belladonna taking control
She don't care about your window box
Or your buttonhole
She sings a song about a long-gone Irish girl
But I got one of for you my Portobello Belle
গানের কথা:
বেলাডোনা উঁচু রাস্তায়
অফবিট উপর তার স্তন
আর স্টলগুলো শুধু সাইডশো
ভিক্টোরিয়ানার পুরানো পোশাক
হ্যাঁ সে এখন স্কার্ট টা টাইট করেছে
তিনি এখন আলো ভ্রমণ করতে চান
সে এখন তার সমস্ত শিকড় ছিঁড়ে ফেলতে চায়
তিনি এখন বুট উপর পালা পেয়েছিলাম
সে মনে করে সে শক্ত
সে কোন ইংরেজি গোলাপ নয়
কিন্তু অন্ধ গায়ক
তিনি যথেষ্ট দেখেছেন এবং তিনি জানেন
তিনি দীর্ঘদিন ধরে চলে যাওয়া আইরিশ মেয়েকে নিয়ে একটি গান করেন
কিন্তু আমি আপনার জন্য আমার Portobello Belle একটি পেয়েছি
তিনি সেখানে একজন লোককে তার পিঠে দেখতে পান
সেখানে একটি বস্তা থেকে পালিয়ে যায়
এবং বেলাডোনা দীর্ঘস্থায়ী হয়
তার গ্লাভস তারা কোন আঙ্গুল পায়নি
অন্ধ লোক, সে আইরিশ গাইছে
টিনের থালায় তার টাকা পায়
শুধু একটি কর্নার সেরেনার
এক সময়, তিনি তাকে তৈরি করতে পারতেন
সে মনে করে সে শক্ত
সে কোন ইংরেজি গোলাপ নয়
কিন্তু অন্ধ গায়ক
তিনি যথেষ্ট দেখেছেন এবং তিনি জানেন
তিনি দীর্ঘদিন ধরে চলে যাওয়া আইরিশ মেয়েকে নিয়ে একটি গান করেন
কিন্তু আমি আপনার জন্য আমার Portobello Belle একটি পেয়েছি
হ্যাঁ আর এই ব্যারো ছেলেরা হকিং করছে
এবং একটি প্যারাকিট squawking হয়
একটি ট্রাক কাগজ গন্ডার উপর
সে একটি উইনোর কান্না পায়
এবং তারপর সে রেগে গজগজ করে
বেলাডোনা জঙ্গলে
কিন্তু সে কোন বাগানের ফুল নয়
টাওয়ারে কোন কষ্ট নেই
বেলাডোনা হাঁটছে
বেলাডোনা নিয়ন্ত্রণ করছে
তিনি আপনার জানালার বাক্স সম্পর্কে চিন্তা করেন না
অথবা আপনার বোতামহোল
তিনি একটি দীর্ঘ চলে যাওয়া আইরিশ মেয়ে সম্পর্কে একটি গান গেয়েছেন
কিন্তু আমি আপনার জন্য আমার Portobello Belle একটি পেয়েছি
