I'm an FDNY 911 vet, lucky to be alive. An old colleague today, 18 years after 911, still wrestles with demons. I sent him this video. Thank you Mark, you're amazing.
God bless you for going through the unbelievable that day. You are down in history, and in my heart as truly selfless heroes, fighting unparalleled horror, battling against all odds. I pray that God in his mercy will bring you peace.
He and Emmy were magical together. I was pleasantly surprised at how beautifully their voices blended. I love the line” I’m still your man for the roaming as long as there’s roaming allowed.”
I am 73 years and my granddaugther 25 years. Last year she told me that i had said her about when she was 16; listen to Dire Straits, waauuw it is Mark Knopler, the best gitarist in the world. Fantastic Marc, what an artist You are.
Dear Mark, I’ve been listening to your music since the Dire Straits days, all through your solo career, listening to the songs and your stories and I can tell you the more I listen to you, the more I love you. Keep on writing and bringing happiness to our souls.
If This is Goodbye is one of the most beautiful songs that has ever been written, It moves me to tears as I listen and think of loved ones who have passed. You are a great songwriter, Mark, and arguably the best guitarist in the world. I love your music and thank you for the many hours I enjoy it. ""If This is Goodbye" and a few others are songs I play with the repeat function often. I began learning the guitar a little over a year ago, and have downloaded the chords for many of your songs, but so often I think that I'd be thrilled to be able to play one hundredth as well as you. Thank you for your fantastic music!!
Poetry and music, all together in a song... Mr. Mark Knopfler! Clapping my hands for a long time and standing!!! Thank you very much for all your music Mark, from the southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia! 🇦🇷❤
This solo version is so much nicer than the duet versions. This entire concert was beautiful, i wish it was available as an album. In my opinion this is marks forte.
Solo version is indeed beautiful especially since the song is his. However, have you heard his duet with Emmylou Harris. Beautiful voices blended. And powerful meaning as a couple.
Can any of you imagine what you would say if you knew it was going to be your last day or their last day? Because I can tell if you have been there, whatever you say, it won't be enough & you'll replay it over & over again in your mind. So if you've been were I have been this song is a reminder to never let your words be angry. You don't get to take them back. To me this is where Marks music is timeless & affects us all. Just a few strums on an acoustic guitar, we are mesmerized, we remember. I too wish this version of songs was available. Thanks Mr. Knopfler
We are living in lonely times, often isolated from those we love and cherish. Friends are far away and family, too. This song brings us back together, if only for a moment. It tells our loved ones, the important people in our lives, that no matter what we are living through, we keep them in a special place in our hearts. Thank you, Mark , for giving us the words we so desperately needed to express that love. No one could have said it better.
Such a sad song about a terrible event. Makes me cry every time I hear it. Such a great guitar player who puts so much emotion into every piece he plays. God bless you Mark Knopfler 👍
God love you Mark knopler for writing and performing such a beautiful and memorial song for all the victims of 9/11...you did it so much justice. L. Burke.
Just because you have more chance of seeing this, you are one of the best musician in this universe Mark. I love everything about your music. I have never seen one person with so much good songs.
I love this song so much, especially this version. I know it's about 911 but I want this when I peg it! Your bright shining sun, would light up the way before me, You were the one, made me feel I could fly...
after realising the meaning behind the lyrics you would have to have a heart of stone not to be moved by this beautifully crafted song. I had tears in my eyes listening to this amazing song
Thank you mark knopler for a beautiful song...do you know how many survivors this has given comfort to? You are an amazing and emotional man..what a gift you are. L. Burke
I've loved this song since I heard the the version with Emmylou Harris on "All the Roadrunning" but never knew the context of the writing of it. I lost my wife of 47 years to can a year and a half ago and it will be hard to listen to this without tears in my eyes from now on.
Mark you were stupendously awesome beyond belief in Leeds last Saturday night. Thank you, along with your band who were terrific also......please don’t retire as you’re a true ledge 🎸🎤
This is the best guitar line I have listened to: sweet, subtle sometimes, emotional, beautiful; it fits to the song and its meaning in a perfect fashion. Bravo, Mr. Knopfler!
This is a spectacular talent. To be able to draw forth a wellspring of emotion through the unique and amazing sound of your guitar playing and thoughtfully, thoroughly human lyrics. Thank you. Be well.
Wow!! After your words about 9/11 and then the meaning in the song is so profound. You never disappoint Mr Knopfler!! Still amazing and the very best after all these years listening and loving all your wonderful songs and performances. God Bless!!
Sung with such feeling, and how you play you are a true inspiration. I just started to learn guitar last week and this has given me huge boost of encouragement . Thank you.
Thank you a lot for all your very good music and also your good texts (I'm french so I do my best, in english ...). I've been loving you for a very, very long time ... and I regret that I've never seen you ! My husband (before we knew together) saw you at the time of Dire Straits, and he told me it's a very good memory for him.
Incredible at every level. The essence of Mark Knopfler's genius. What a marvelous man and what a marvelous song. Brilliant lyrics, immaculate technique, and genuine authentic emotion in his singing. A monumental piece.
Now 'If this is goodby' is sung by Mark Knopfler but I usually hear the voice of Emmylou Harris too. They sing beatifully together. In any case thank you for this version on solo.
আমি তোমাকে ভালবাসি, এটাই আমাদের গৌরব..... Lyrics: My famous last words Are laying around in tatters Sounding absurd Whatever I try But I love And that's all that really matters If this is goodbye If this is goodbye আমার বিখ্যাত শেষ কথা ছিন্নভিন্ন হয়ে পড়ে আছে অযৌক্তিক শোনাচ্ছে যাই চেষ্টা করি কিন্তু আমি ভালোবাসি এবং যে সব যে সত্যিই গুরুত্বপূর্ণ এই যদি বিদায় হয় এই যদি বিদায় হয় Your bright shining sun Would light up the way before me You were the one Made me feel I could fly And I love you Whatever is waiting for me If this is goodbye If this is goodbye আপনার উজ্জ্বল উজ্জ্বল সূর্য আমার আগে পথ আলোকিত হবে তুমিই ছিলে আমাকে অনুভব করলো আমি উড়তে পারি এবং আমি তোমাকে ভালবাসি যাই হোক আমার জন্য অপেক্ষা করছে এই যদি বিদায় হয় এই যদি বিদায় হয় Who knows how long we've got Or what were made out of Who knows if there's a plan or not There is our love I know there is our love আমরা কতক্ষণ পেয়েছি কে জানে বা কি তৈরি করা হয়েছিল কোন পরিকল্পনা আছে কি না কে জানে আমাদের ভালোবাসা আছে আমি জানি আমাদের ভালবাসা আছে My famous last words Could never tell the story Spinning unheard In the dark of the sky But I love you And this is our glory If this is goodbye If this is goodbye If this is goodbye If this is goodbye আমার বিখ্যাত শেষ কথা কখনো গল্প বলতে পারিনি অশ্রুত স্পিনিং আকাশের অন্ধকারে কিন্তু আমি তোমাকে ভালবাসি আর এটাই আমাদের গৌরব এই যদি বিদায় হয় এই যদি বিদায় হয় এই যদি বিদায় হয় এই যদি বিদায় হয়

Had this beautiful song at my wife’s funeral.such a moving song.Thank you Mark
❤
He and Emmy were magical together. I was pleasantly surprised at how beautifully their voices blended. I love the line” I’m still your man for the roaming as long as there’s roaming allowed.”
You're a good man, Mark Knopfler.
Yes, one helluva Great Geordie Bloke and a decent man who's not been twisted by his fame and success.
I believe that

If you listen to this and you can’t see how legendary it is you have no heart and probably no soul to.
If This is Goodbye is one of the most beautiful songs that has ever been written, It moves me to tears as I listen and think of loved ones who have passed. You are a great songwriter, Mark, and arguably the best guitarist in the world. I love your music and thank you for the many hours I enjoy it.

God love you Mark knopler for writing and performing such a beautiful and memorial song for all the victims of 9/11...you did it so much justice. L. Burke.
Just because you have more chance of seeing this, you are one of the best musician in this universe Mark. I love everything about your music. I have never seen one person with so much good songs.
Mark makes his guitar gently weep
no this should be Santana
Undeniably lovely.
I love this song so much, especially this version. I know it's about 911 but I want this when I peg it! Your bright shining sun, would light up the way before me, You were the one, made me feel I could fly...
My favorite guitar player of all time.

💛If This Is Goodbye - Lyrics💛
"My famous last words
Are laying around in tatters
Sounding absurd
Whatever I try
But I love you
And that's all that really matters
If this is goodbye
If this is goodbye
Your bright shining sun
Would light up the way before me
You were the one
Made me feel I could fly
And I love you
Whatever is waiting for me
If this is goodbye
If this is goodbye
Who knows how long we've got
Or what were made out of
Who knows if there's a plan or not
There is our love
I know there is our love
My famous last words
Could never tell the story
Spinning unheard
In the dark of the sky
But I love you
And this is our glory
If this is goodbye
If this is goodbye
If this is goodbye
If this is goodbye"
Songwriters: Mark Knopfler

Lyrics:
My famous last words
Are laying around in tatters
Sounding absurd
Whatever I try
But I love
And that's all that really matters
If this is goodbye
If this is goodbye
আমার বিখ্যাত শেষ কথা
ছিন্নভিন্ন হয়ে পড়ে আছে
অযৌক্তিক শোনাচ্ছে
যাই চেষ্টা করি
কিন্তু আমি ভালোবাসি
এবং যে সব যে সত্যিই গুরুত্বপূর্ণ
এই যদি বিদায় হয়
এই যদি বিদায় হয়
Your bright shining sun
Would light up the way before me
You were the one
Made me feel I could fly
And I love you
Whatever is waiting for me
If this is goodbye
If this is goodbye
আপনার উজ্জ্বল উজ্জ্বল সূর্য
আমার আগে পথ আলোকিত হবে
তুমিই ছিলে
আমাকে অনুভব করলো আমি উড়তে পারি
এবং আমি তোমাকে ভালবাসি
যাই হোক আমার জন্য অপেক্ষা করছে
এই যদি বিদায় হয়
এই যদি বিদায় হয়
Who knows how long we've got
Or what were made out of
Who knows if there's a plan or not
There is our love
I know there is our love
আমরা কতক্ষণ পেয়েছি কে জানে
বা কি তৈরি করা হয়েছিল
কোন পরিকল্পনা আছে কি না কে জানে
আমাদের ভালোবাসা আছে
আমি জানি আমাদের ভালবাসা আছে
My famous last words
Could never tell the story
Spinning unheard
In the dark of the sky
But I love you
And this is our glory
If this is goodbye
If this is goodbye
If this is goodbye
If this is goodbye
আমার বিখ্যাত শেষ কথা
কখনো গল্প বলতে পারিনি
অশ্রুত স্পিনিং
আকাশের অন্ধকারে
কিন্তু আমি তোমাকে ভালবাসি
আর এটাই আমাদের গৌরব
এই যদি বিদায় হয়
এই যদি বিদায় হয়
এই যদি বিদায় হয়
এই যদি বিদায় হয়
