It was nothing but the hits in a room downtown
They’re noisy as hell but nice
People don’t usually get to play in there
More than a time or twice
You had you a regular spot
They were even advertising your name
Better than the usual thing you got
Staying just ahead of the game
Ahead of the game
And I can’t tell you one thing new
About playing for the door
Some of my dream is back there too
With the sawdust on the floor
We’re worn out and weary, all of us
But we know why we came
Banged up and battered like this old bus
Staying just ahead of the game
Ahead of the game
The sky’s as big as nowhere
Which is where we’ve been
Left a dream behind there somewhere
You’ve got to have a dream
I gave your buddy a ride to the train
He was telling me he’d be back
There was a red light shining, love in vain
When we rolled across the tracks
Barista/bartender selling beat up car
Needs a ticket for a bus or a plane
Singer/songwriter heading for home
Staying just ahead of the game
Ahead of the game

#markknopfler #onedeepriver #newalbum - เพลง
I'm 76 and it seems like I've listened to Mark and Dire Straits forever. Just look at the age of the backing musicians and their sublime skills, just wonderful. Thanks for a lifetime of great music Mark!
Mr. Knopfler is almost 75 years old. So appreciative that he is still making music. Every album of his I have. The first Dire Straits album to me in 1978 when I was 15 year old was game changing for me. I am occasionally in the discussions of desert island discs, who would you want to listen to and I say modern, Mark Knopfler, classical, Bach. His more recent recordings have been about the common experiences that we all can relate to. As someone who is 60, I have made my bed, I have to live with my choices, I think about the road not traveled. But I also think about the music that has comforted me along the way. Dire Straits which is Mark Knopfler, has been my go to for all of these years. God gives us gifts. Thank you Mr.Knopfler.
A beautiful sentiment here. I am 3 years ahead of you... Yes, the road not traveled... choices, regrets, and deep appreciation for life itself. God bless.
I'm 8yrs ahead of you, and wonderfull words you write.
Mark Knopfler gentleman and a musical and lyrical legend!!!
Sensacional, sou desse ótimo cantor que não precisa gritar pra tentar impressionar
Well said!! I just turned 70 & I've been listening to Mark Knopfler since Dire Straits. I remember sitting in band practices of my best friends & how amazed they were when they first attempted Sultans of Swing. Turned out to be more to Mark's guitar playing than they thought!! He makes everything sound so laid back, smooth & easy. Love his songwriting & voice too. Been waiting for this cd to buy myself for my Dec. 26th birthday!!! 💗💗
😊👍 согласен
Im 58, I am listening Mark music last 35 years, humble musician. GOD BLESS
Mark, you're always ahead of the game.
Brilliant musician. ❤
Mark Knopfler is a treasure of a man. God bless you and all you love. Thank you.
Maestro,su música no morirás jamas😂🇦🇷✌️🍺🧉⚽️
J just say hello and thank you for your music Declan X 😑❤
Wow!! You sound great!
Thanks for sharing!
StaySafe 😅
@@Traveling_with_FIVE_Cats agradecido,por leer mi comentarios🇦🇷✌️🍺🧉⚽️
Reminiscent of Shangri-La. That whole album was pure gold 👍
Poet, guitarist, singer and songwriter. An unique talent and authentic living legend of the music. Eternal love for your art dear Mark. Thank you.
🌼🌺🌸
Hey I was just gna say that...
FOR EVER THE MAGNIFICENT, MARK KNOPFLER❤️
Mark, PLEASE never, ever stop playing that guitar !!!
A long deserted road, it's a cold rainy evening when the truck driver, with sad eyes, drives calmly. He loves to see the lights of small towns flowing through the window and the bright signs of drugstores reflected in puddles. A smile appears on his face when he hear the Mark's hot new riff. Thank you Mark❤
That was supremely well put! Thanks so much for that!
@lucaperiotto2171 Lovely comment……Beautiful visual. Appreciate what you wrote. Thank you! 🎸😎
Another great autobiographical song from Mark Knopfler ! Lovely to see all the boys playing some music live in the studio. 👍🇺🇸🇬🇧 12:10
That is me. 😊
Mark sings stories that so many of us out here in the world can identify with. He had me at Sultans of Swing, all those years ago...soooo glad we're on this ride together!
I first heard of dire straits when my dad was playing his favorite album of all time Love over Gold. I was totally mesmerized with Telegraph Road. My dad told me that he had just graduated from college and moved to a new town starting his first full time job and living on his own. He played the Love over Gold album on his record player almost everyday. It has become one of my favorite albums too
What a song!!!❤️🔥 I’m 20 years old but, for me this is real music!🎸
Smooth as silk. Classic Knopfler.
Woooow🎉🎉🎉дякую 🇺🇦 great song ❤
Hello dear 😊
To have this legend back in 2024 is really fantastic. You are one the greatest as a singer, composer, guitarrist, producer and we´re happy to hear "Your newest trick".
Clever.
Unhurried, hypnotic guitar , simple melody and comforting vocals that wrap you around . That’s Mark Knopfler
Once again Mark surprises me !!! the wisdom of the soul has spoken again !!! Brilliant young man !! Thank you 😊
Old Knopfler still ahead of the game!
Every great guitar player has a signature sound. Beck, Clapton, Page, Santana, Garcia... This man is my favorite. Bravo!
Mine to!!
You are so right. I heard this for the first time on the radio today. I thought damn that guitar sounds like Knopfler. The man is a legend and at that he is still under rated.
That's right, but you forgot May...
Credo che ci siamo dimenticati del grande j.j Cale 🎸🙏
Mark, I’m 78 and have adored your music all my life! Thanks!
Adoration infers mindlessness. Are you sure that's the word for how you feel ?
dont worry about rude comments sally......i'm right with ya
The fact you old fellas have followed technology and managed to even find this song on TH-cam impresses me, I'm only finding it now, my grandfather loved dire straits and mark Knopfler, my earliest memory of my grandfather was cruising in a 1990 Toyota Camry out to our block of land listening to sultans of Swing, I was 4 years old been a dire straits and mark Knopfler fan ever since, good on you old fellas with a great taste in music 👍
Tunnel 13 is just down the road from us here in Southern Oregon! The trial for robbery was the last that our little gold town of Jacksonville before Medford was established. Been thru the Tunnel many times! SO AWESOME to hear a song about it!!!!!
Nobody of his age can still sing exactly like he did in his 20s. Nobody.
And echoes of early Dire Straits in this song. Love it.
Марк, всегда ждём от вас новых песен! Спасибо, что Вы с нами! ❤❤❤
I imagine Mark is also quite happy to be with us. 😊
and worth the wait! Lovely song
Каюсь, с трудом узнал в этом пожилом мужчине того весельчака с повязкой на голове.Глаза остались и характерный поворот головы ну и, конечно, высочайший класс использования всех струн.Спасибо, Мастер.
🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
👍כמו תמיד, הרגש שאתה מעביר בנגינה ובשירה נותנים מנוח לייגעי כוח! תודה🙏 מאז ולכל הזמן❤❤❤️❤️❤🇮🇱
Nothing beats local hero theme absolute classic
From the Dyonisian (Dire Straits) to the Apollonian. He's a Master!
Good afternoon,
My dear eternal Mark Knopfler, thank you for all the beautiful music over the years. I never tire of listening to and watching the concerts in Portugal - I saw them all in 2007, 2010, 2013, 2015 and 2019. ....
Always and forever the BEST in the WORLD, ETERNAL guitarist, songwriter and singer!!!! BEAUTIFUL.
I wish I could play some drums in the studio with the GREAT MASTER. Thank you from Portugal 🇵🇹 with a lot of emotion - Carlos Abreu
❤❤ 🙏🙏🙏🎸🎸🎸🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️
Não houve concerto do Mark em 2013 em Portugal
Boa noite,
Correto, não houve concerto em Portugal em 2013, estava empolgado a escrever e … obrigado pela correção.
Totalmente de acordo contigo. Eu vino en Galicia no 2010, 2015 (Santiago) e 2019 (A Coruña) como solista, e con Dire Straits no 1992 en Vigo
Sir, you sound AMAZING! Please keep writing and performing. We need this.
С 1979 года слушаю Марка) Удачи и здоровья, музыкант с Большой Буквы!)
God, the guys still sound GREAT... A little more "grey'ish, but it don't stop the music from flowing in a glass like a wonderful wine!
Hi Mark,
So happy to see and hear you and the guys in the studio doing what you love. Grateful to have had your wonderful music in my life since '78. I'm 63 years young and continue to be a daily listener of all your exceptional tunes and your You Tube videos. My avatar pic is of my '88 335 which you signed at the Four Seasons hotel in Boston on March 9, 1992. Your kindness I will never forget. Thank you! Denise from Boston🎸
Wow, I bet you will keep that Beemer forever Denise….
we're neighbors, I live out by Worcester
@@petercrisp2573Hi Peter, Let me clarify. My 335 is a guitar, not a BMW.
I've a 1988 Gibson ES-335 Showcase edition, only 200 made. I've had it signed only by musician's whose music has greatly inspired me and as well, deeply touched my heart.
Mark Knopfler was, and continues to be my biggest inspiration ever!!!! My personal meeting with him meant everything to me. It is etched into the deep recesses of my brain. My friend took pics of our meeting at 10:45am, and my guitar in his hands. Mark gave me some great advice as both of my wrists had to be surgically fused, thus ending my dream of being a guitarist.
Again, Mark was so kind in meeting with me. I'm so very, very grateful to him - I always will be!!!
THANK YOU, MARK!!!
Denise from Boston XO!!!
Olá Denise. Tenho 62 anos e também ouço esse gênio desde 1978. Vi pessoalmente ele tocar aqui no Rio de Janeiro em 2001. Fiquei na beira do palco. Jamais vou esquecer esse momento.
Bonsoir Denise j'ai 69 ans et je suis MK depuis 1978 ,j'ai eu la chance de le voir plusieurs fois en concert. Pas un jour sans l'écouter Bien le bonjour de Belgique
After fifty years Mark is still "Ahead Of The Game", this man never fails to deliver. 😀😃😁....................
Love Mark's casual vocal style as much as his great guitar style
اعشق الاستماع إليك بالرغم أنني لا افقه شيءا في الانجليزية، و لا يخفى عليك ان الموسيقى لا وطن لها ولا لغة،محبتي لك من المملكة المغربية
Искусство, хули тут понимать то
بزااف ديال الحب يا اخي 🫶🏼

Good lord, the man has lost nothing over the years and may be even better!
It`s like "listening" to 50 year old Scotch.
Life bless you Mark...still creating good melodies.

It's a little bit of heaven hearing that unmistakable Mark Knopfler sound once again. The world needs your magnificent music right now.
The hook in this song is super catchy and classic Knopfler. He’ll always be ‘ahead of the game’
Who else is looking forward to the next tour?? 🎸
He retired from touring in 2019.
❤

Rest in peace JJ Cale while your legacy is in good hands❤
I love the music of both of them,the first Dire Straits album is something very special to me so close to the sound of JJ Cale, for me nothing wrong on that,they played with magic fingers
A man of great talent who maintains his good music through out the years .God bless you Mark
Zeitlose gute Musik die man immer hören kann😊
Thank you all for your great work, as always
Seeing comments in so many different languages really drives home how universal the power of this music is.
I was just saying the exact same thing to my friend sitting next to me! 😮😮
U true bos I'm from Malaysia..my Age now is 47 start listen dire straits from 1985..
Estas en lo cierto....you are pretty right...👍👍
Dearest Mark, receive my admiration respect love gratitude for all beauties along these 50 years. God bless X ❤🇧🇷
Hello Sonia how are you doing 😊
The old guys showing the young ones how!! Both him and Billy Joel in their 70's!
How are you doing 😊👋👋
Mark knopfler the greatest of all... I love his songs together with the legendary Dire Straits, the best band in the world ❤️🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥
That's correct!
R.E.M aussi 👍🇫🇷
Maravilhoso o nosso grande Dinossauro 🦕 🦖🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹👄
I wish all the comments around the internet were like those under music videos: appreciation, love, sharing, forgiveness of mistakes, desire to enjoy. Fuck all the rest, enjoy music, wars will end
Mark is what Doctor Evil would be if he had enough of the rock and roll world domination life style, built a bridge with Scott, and became a bluesman.
Keep playing Mark, I’ll be listening
Great tune, love this one Mark! Thanks so much!❤
Love you 4ever I'm 68❤❤❤
❤stupenda grande❤😂Mark❤❤❤❤❤
Simple riff. Poetry. An exceptional piece. A song of experience and a band of sheer class and quality.
His songs seems to have a wandering the western desert feel to them. Total master songwriter and player.
he loved the western atmospheres , from early on in his career
Knopfler is like a one-man recounting of the history of popular music, from the highlands circa ~1700, to colonial Appalachia, to ragtime, to '50s rockabilly, '70s rock...and right on through.
I mean, who else on this Earth in the 21st century could release a stamp & clash pirate sea shanty? As the title track of a whole album??
So excited to hear all your new music
❤❤❤Проходит время, стареют люди…. 😔
Но талант остаётся вечно молодым. Так же как и голос замечательного исполнителя, который не спутаешь ни с кем другим ! 😇🎼🔥❤️
Дай Бог здоровья автору и создателю этого великолепного и вечного коллектива DIRE STRAITS!🙏
С любовью и уважением из России ❤️🇷🇺
Для меня будет большой честью, если некоторые фанаты Dire Straits послушают мое акустическое фортепиано и вокальное исполнение ON EVERY STREET в знак уважения к гениальному написанию песен Марка Нопфлера. Живая акустика без автонастройки и цифрового редактирования. Мира и будьте в безопасности в 020-х годах.
Please don't stop Mark, you are life's air to me.
Legend❤❤❤
Everytime I listen to Mark Knopfler, I think about the concert in Oberhausen, Germany. My father, who sadly has passed in 2017, and I went together and we loved it. So happy, that Mark Knopfler has another album out.
Mr. Knopfler, return to Brazil once again, your fans miss you so much !
Topman. 👍
folks, that is how its done. excellent.
I and all my friends here in Germany 🇩🇪 were big fans of Dire Straits already in the 1970th!❤
Super der Teaser allein schon macht Bock auf das Lied, Album und hoffentlich Europa Tour!?
Огромное спасибо за новую музыку! Очень жду альбом!
Lovely song and lovely way of singing it. 👍
I am 52, and for as long as I can recall, Mark Knopfler has been throwing musical gems my way. Cheers for that x.
Mr Knopfler this is great. I’m 63 and have been playing guitar since the age of 12. Always loved it to this day. Your playing and songwriting is a great inspiration. Thank you

Mark Knopfler !!!
I love you mark, I'm listening to you since 1984 , you are real genius
No school like old school.

Beautiful melody 😊love your work ❤
Maestro!
The genius is back. I love it. ♥
This very voice, this very guitar, one riff and I can listen to this and many more of his songs again and again and again. Thank you Lord for Mark Knopfler's talent.
Just the fact that this legend, who is over 70 years old and physically impaired, is still making music basically as good as his works in his prime should be highly appreciated.
Still amazing at 74
❤❤❤❤troppo bravo grande Mark stupenda chitarra suonata in modo incredibile ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He's a really gifted musician. Over my time in university, I grew to love his beautiful music. He is still being listened to forty years later.
Still such a captivating voice ❤️🇮🇪🇮🇪
❤is he your favorite!
Sounds that take me back to Our Shangri La...I missed you Mark!
This is really amazing! This song is growing on me badly! I love the reverb on the vocal! Perfect!
Nous avons de la chance de vivre encore dans une période où Mark sort de nouveaux albums.
Thank you Mark for your support
Mark knopfler is a great talent, great guitarist, great musican.
Mark's music has lost absolutely nothing over these years. This song is great! I think Mark's laid-back storytelling is awesome. We don't need to talk guitar. We know all about it with Mr. Knopfler. :)
Como el mejor Mark de siempre. Espero impaciente el nuevo disco completo. Gracias Mark: único, grande.
That voice. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Such a beautiful one ,hi dear 👋
I really like this song, Mark is amazing!
