      @@oksceez Good Reaction and great to see you get into this English Band but 7 pauses is far too many as we can always hear your interesting thoughts at the end without breaking up the flow and rhythm as the song builds and builds and NEVER pause a guitar solo...lol

    A truly legendary band with the legendary rock guitarist Mark Knopfler ! Nobody does it like Mark !!! " You say I'm the greatest - bound for glory "` when he wrote these words of the song Setting me up, he was being prophetic, and he's still doing it at 70 plus years young ! Dire straits will be immortal, and I was priveledged to be in at the beginning in the early seventies.

    Swing refers to a style of music used by Jazz groups and Big Bands. This song refers to Mark seeing a local Jazz band in a Public House (Bar) who were not very good and next to nobody watching them. They called themselves "The Sultans of Swing" Mark said they weren't the Sultans (master) of anything.

    A sultan was an Arab ruler or head of state. Swing refers to swing music that was very popular in the 40’s and 50’s. So the Sultans of Swing is the name of the band playing old style jazz and swing music in a bar on the south side of London and the inspiration for this song.

    In the song he songs about being in south London and hearing music in a club and going inside, then he tells you about all these different guys in the band, one can only afford an old guitar but when he gets on the stage he’s GOOD, one has a day job and doesn’t care if he never “makes the scene”, etc, this fictional band is called “The Sultans Of Swing”. He refers to “Dixie double four time”, that’s a reference to Dixieland Jazz, a style of Jazz from New Orleans and double four time is the way it’s played (as in a four/four beat). So in the song the singer/narrator is stumbling across an amazing band in London that calls themselves The Sultans Of Swing, they play Dixieland Jazz, and he tells you a little about the various members of the band.

    • @Fred-hk7wk
      @Fred-hk7wk ปีที่แล้ว

      The "Sultans of Swing" weren't an amazing band at all, they were a shit band and this entire song is a piss take about how bad they were.
      Don't take the lyrics literally, get it from the man himself.
      It has absolutely nothing to do with a quality bunch of musicians playing good music in a pub, and they aren't a fictional band, they're a band that he saw live and they were terrible.
      You couldn't be more wrong with your analysis of the lyrics.

    So many alleged "fans" have absolutely no idea what the song is about and know nothing about dire straits, right down to calling this the best version of this song.
    Any true fan would know what the lyrics are about and also there are several better versions than the Alchemy version recorded much later in their career.

  • @Fred-hk7wk
    @Fred-hk7wk ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love dire Straits, but why does everyone rave so much about this version? Clearly, it's not the best version.
    Any version that supersedes this version is and always will be better.
    There are at least 4 versions of the exact same song that are performed much later in their career and make this version look amateurish.
    Anyone that thinks this is the best version, doesn't know much about the band at all.
    Watch the Sydney 86 version and then tell me that Alchemy is better. Not possible.
    The later in their career that it is performed, the tighter, more refined, longer and so much better it is, naturally.
    No idea some people.
