They really always had SUCH a good time with their music. In this context, the "walk of life", expressed by the sports clips, means that we try, fail, try, fail - & eventually succeed. All the bloopers, then at the end, all the touchdowns, baskets, & home runs. Thanks for your reaction.
This is such an upbeat, infectious song and you both were grinning from ear to ear throughout the entire song. After "Sultans of Swing", this is my next favorite song by Dire Straights. You both are such a joy to watch. 🫶
One of my favourite videos is “ Walk of Life - Dire Straits - Sven Otten “. I believe it was shot in Australia…….you will want to get up and dance with it!
Originally wtitten as a B Side but when he he heard it he persuaded Mark Knopfler to include it on the Brothers in Arms album. The idea came from seeing street musicians (Buskers) on the London Underground stations and crowds of people walking past them on their way to or from work or going about their daily routine. People doing the "Walk of Life" American guitarist Jack Sonni supported Dire Straits on the Brothers in Arms Tour I have mentioned him in previous posts. In this performance you can clearly see Jack plauing and dancing BAREFOOT.
Love your reations. You are such genuine and adorable people. But hey, still waiting for your reaction to Private Investigations (Sydney 1986), Calling Elvis (On the night 1993), Once upon a time in the west (On the night 1993) and Where you you think you are going (Rockpalast 1979). Rock on!
The fist time I heard this song, I was thinkinking, if there's a funiral for me, I would like this song played there, it makes everyone so happy.😊 I would still want it played then.
Awesome i literally learned both rythm and dancing from this song . MY dad forced me to step on his feet too this song for like 2 years "to get my rythm later on i n found out thisong is like what saved alot of us dduring 80s hardshi+ps.
this and in fact many dire straits songs were bus travelling peoples favourites back in the day great times travelling in the bus with sports teams listening to this like so many other people.
Puts a smile on your face, doesn't it. We used to blast it driving an APC we stole from the Serbs (and a car stereo and some speakers which were just regular speakers sitting in the back seat of a car). :D After three months waiting for the people we prepared a way to follow to arrive we started doing it ourselves.
Kind of song that everybody knows but most of them do not know who's playing it. This song is part of one of the most selling album in the world ''Brothers in Arms '' in 1985 . It went on hitparade a year later but literally overshadowed by Brothers in arms , Money for Nothing , So Far away , One World , The man's too strong and ''Your latest trick ''.
I just stumbled upon your channel, but I am really enjoying your Dire Straits reactions! I think you guys are an adorable couple, and I also like that you appreciate the wonderful musicianship and talent and of this band, and of Mark. I grew up with this music, and this is one of those tracks that I tune into when I need a laugh and a smile 😁. I don't know if you have checked it out, but another one of there fun upbeat tracks is "Lady Writer" (lots of Mark smiling in that one😉)
Another great Straits song. Just a phenomenal band - every album a winner from beginning to end. Many moons ago I dod a buyneacoffevrequest which you never did. Perhaps you could do John Miles "Music", if you want to be reminded what music is about...
The Walk of Life is my favourite Dire Straits song of all time, it is so uplifting and a very happy song that brings a smile to your face and a warmth to your heart. I remember this song when it first came out and as a 59 year old British man this song still has the same effect on me as it did the first time I heard it. This is a classic that should live on for ever. 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🏴💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Let me let you guys in on a 'secret' 😊...Mark Knopfler couldn't care less about Fashion or Looks or futile things like that...the reason he wore a headband and writsbands is because of the simple fact that one day he almost couldn't see, play because he was sweating so much on stage because of all the lightings...it was simply too hot...so since that moment on...he always wore them where needed...😄
One of my favourite albums is one Mark did with Emmylou Harris - their voices together are heavenly. "All the Roadrunning" Not a bad song on the whole album.
if you are looking for a new artist after Dire Straits then try Santana Oye Como Va live at Montreal 2011. You will see a master guitarist at work, with a band enjoying themselves. I will not be surprised to see you both moving along with the music!!
failure is a part of life. how one handles that failure is also a part of life. keep digging, never give up. that is what "the walk of life" requires. just sayin'.
I know I sound like a broken record, but some things can't be helped... I love this band!!! :) Terrific reaction for a timeless song, guys. When you're ready for more Dire Straits, check out "CALLING ELVIS" th-cam.com/video/ay4F-_LGiww/w-d-xo.html. Very cool groove, makes me want to trade in my wheelchair for some dancing shoes.
New sub friends. I love the videos and positive vibes..Please consider reacting to Always There For You by Stryper ✌ They're a Christian Metal band but 🔥
The original official video was with the young man busking in the tunnel trying to make it pay. th-cam.com/video/H55KgeOaanY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6CwZGKa4U7Tu7iLr
I'm in love with your wife......sorry. ). you guys are great. Fun times before Trump becomes our President again. We need you both more than ever! Happy 2025!
The 2 of you get my vote for the cutest couple doing reactions.
These two r great to watch

Love that you two know and loved this one! Me too.
RIP Jack Sonni 😢😢😢
The sing is about a busker (street performer) in the London underground.
This is such an upbeat, infectious song and you both were grinning from ear to ear throughout the entire song. After "Sultans of Swing", this is my next favorite song by Dire Straights.
You both are such a joy to watch. 🫶
Love all your reactions. It's great to see you experiencing new songs. The chemistry between you is a joy to watch.
Mark Knopfler is from my home town and I remember hearing him play Sultans of Swing in a local bar before he became famous.
Dire Straits it's one of the best bands ever for me. I LOVE IT!
# me too
Ah Mark Knopfler
The best vibe on Earth.... :)

If only the lyrics were , there goes donny instead of Johnny
Hard to gelieve this is the same band that wrote private investigations and brothers in arms. The depth and breadth of their talent is insane.

Such an upbeat and happy song from Dire Straits, I love it, you should check out the live version from On The Night.
❤
The song Ride Across The River has a bit of a Pink Floyd feel. I think you both would like it.
Ilm so pleased your truthful x
You would Like the band Cheap Trick ,( The Flame) as many of their songs are !
One of my favourite albums is one Mark did with Emmylou Harris - their voices together are heavenly. "All the Roadrunning" Not a bad song on the whole album.

Hellooo could you make a reaction to Mylene Farmer ? I am sure you will love her ! Fav female french singer as you liked Stromae
You should really listen to "Sometimes i feel like screaming" By Deep Purple! It is a very good song, i think you guys will love it :)
Out of all of the famous people in the NBA, you did not notice Larry Bird.
Check out Emmy Lou Harris and Mark Knopfler “this is us” or any songs on the road running album...get a great kick out of watching you two!
failure is a part of life. how one handles that failure is also a part of life. keep digging, never give up. that is what "the walk of life" requires. just sayin'.
