Going Home is the last track from Mark Knopfler's Local Hero album released in March 1983. Thanks to Helena for allowing me to use some of her video footage. Thanks to Pete Korvin for the excellent backing track.
" GOING HOME "!! here I'am again !! listening to you playing this lovely piece of great music on my good ear phones, so lovely, if not on my ear phones but watching you play on TV. on U TUBE. brilliant Geoff. just one of many . !! have a good weekend ..
🐬One day I will embark on a great ship and return to where my ancestor came from, I will go home,....🐬my heart is singing with you.🐬 🐬I get carried up and away,😂but really we can’t not listen, we can’t not dream.🐬 Thank you so much Geoff !💗 A beautiful guitar for a wonderful artist !💜
Thank you for your kind comments Penelope! I went to see an old friend i had not seen for years, but found out, he had passed away the week before. Why do we "put off" the things we want to do? Embark on that great ship my friend.
I’m sorry for you and your friend who didn’t have the sweet emotion of your reunion. So if one day you decide to come and see me, don’t wait too long.😉
A wonderfull song. And with those old sailing ships in the background it is a perfect combination. Just close your eyes and you are standing by the railing with the wind in your face and 30 years younger. Lol.
Bonjour mon ami Geoff, Je viole le bouton replay!!! Un partage grandiose merci mon ami!! Vous êtes le meilleur!!!❤️❤️🐿 Tout les jours vos musiques passent en boucle 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Rester en sécurité!!🍀🙏🏻🐿🙏🏻 Amour!! Câlins chaleureux!! Elisabeth.
geoffers47 Merci à vous, quand on est à l’écoute de vos interprétations et vidéo on s’évades quelques instants!! Que du bonheur!!🥰 Un très grand merci 🙏🏻 mon ami!!🙏🏻🍀🐿 Rester en sécurité également!! Amour!! Câlins chaleureux!! 🌟Mon idole🌟🌹! Elisabeth.
Boy oh boy, a beautiful rendition and thank you, Geoff. Yup, the urge of "Going Home" is strong as age is catching up but is temporarily shelved due to travel restrictions..... Take care, stay safe & healthy, mate.
Wow ! Thank you for this magnificent rendition of a stirring up tempo masterpiece.I say this as a massive fan of Mark Knopfler who has recently retired from touring. No doubt he will continue with composing and hopefully recording.Those glorious sailing ships of old are something else !The Tall Ships Parade brings it all back, the history and way of life of those seafarers of long ago.Thanks again you National Treasure.🌹❤
There are guitarists, and then there is Mark Knopfler! Where did the time go, from the arrival of Dire Straights to now? I loved the recordings he did with Chet Atkins, and The Everly Brothers. Especially "Why Worry" I fear we are the last generation, to be able to appreciate our history, as it is fast being consigned to the dustbin. But that's another matter! You will be pleased to know that "English Heritage" have slapped a preservation order on me! Lol.
just love this song a great cover , and as in the final scene of the film in , telephone box in the phone box and this magic song plays , the late fulton mackye (the beachcomber in the film ) always reminds me off my late grandfather , and my time at his home on the west coast of scotland at CRINAN , cheers ritchie .
You really know how to expose the soul of melody, its inner core, which makes vibrate the senses of listener. I only can listen and when I hear this your performance, I feel the immensity of life, it’s vastness and greatness. Thanks for these wonderful moments.
Some play to remember, some listen to forget. It’s not the fingers that make sound, it’s heart that leads the melody. And you happen to know this secret, Mr. Magician of strings. Thanks for reading my thoughts.
Hello Geoff, whenever the trouble comes, I hear your music. Then everything is much less tragic. Thank you for your wonderful music. Greetings from Switzerland.🍀💖💖🍀🙋♀️
