- Dire Straits - On Every Street, On Every Street (1991)
Lyrics:
There's gotta be a record of you some place
You gotta be on somebodys books
The lowdown, a picture of your face
Your injured looks
The sacred and profane
The pleasure and the pain
Somewhere your fingerprints remain concrete
And it's your face, I'm looking for
On every street
A ladykiller, regulation tattoo
Silver spurs on his heels
Says, what can I tell you as I'm standing next to you
She threw herself under my wheels
Oh it's a dangerous road
And a hazardous load
And the fireworks over liberty explode in the heat
And it's your face I'm looking for on every street
A three-chord symphony crashes into space
The moon is hanging upside down
I don't know why it is I'm still on the case
It's a ravenous town
And you still refuse to be traced
Seems to me such a waste
And every victory has a taste that's bittersweet
And it's your face I'm looking for on every street
And it's your face I'm looking for on every street - Hudba
The earth is 4 billion years old. It's an honor to be alive at the same time as Mark knofler.
Yeah ... just think of the odds AGAINST that...Sometimes you’re Louisville Slugger, sometimes you’re the Ball ... and we’ve even been here to and enjoyed the magic in that line, live, here on this Old Earth.
I’ve been listening to Mark Knopfler’s music since I was a teenager, but only now that I’m pushing thirty do I realize how great he really is. I mean I always knew he was great, but comments like this one put it into perspective. What a fortunate thing that he managed to be around in our lifetimes and his music become preserved for future generations.
@@JimmySteller Pushing 30.... you make me feel old,,, I listened to DS as a teenager now I'm 50,but feel 30 except in the mornings! Painted a utility room with my late bro, with Money for Nothing on flat out volume (cassette tape, you prob wont get that), sure got the job done quick time!
Nope, not even 7000 years old.
well said buddy I am 100% agree.
The last two minutes of the song goes down in history as one of the best pieces of instrumental music of all time.
Its just simply incredible, probably one of the only pieces of music that gives me goosebumps, love it, wish it went for 5 minutes.
My favourite bit ... Amazing ♥️
Its amazing, steel guitar better than most country. Always love how they use steel.
Has kind of a haunting note as id fades out
That's a bit hyperbolic. It sounds like the music to a daytime tv chat show or something.
Lost my 28 year old son years ago in a tragic accident. I hear this song and realize I'm always looking for him. Beautiful work of art.
I am sorry for your loss
My condolences. 🌹
Rip
xd
Prayers to you both 🙏🏼
You don't listen to Dire Straits, you sit back and feel the music flow through you.
this is the one
@@graceakinyemi6564 you got that right
I let the dire straits run through my system every sunday and I've introduced this music to my family.....Thanks to Dad Patrick John Phiri for making me listen to this music as I was growing up
You listen the guitar chords talking to you like a telepath.
These guys take me to another plane all together
This has got to be one of the most underrated songs in the universe. Everyone should know of its existence.
And enjoy...and enjoy...and enjoy...
yes yes yes but its impossible to get people to like it must be felt
Aye!
Agree with you Josh.
In another dimension there would have been places of worship for Mark and Dire Straits members. They all like to stay underrated for some unexplainable reason.
We are in 2024. A Brazilian man, far way from his home, seating alone in an Irish pub, in a raining day. Alone. Just him and his pint of Guinness in a lost pub in Dublin cold city.
This song starts to play in the pub. A 5o and something years old man alone in a pub find rejoice and starts to remember the first time he heard that song. He was what, 20 and something years old? It doesn't matter: that song brought him back so many good memories from a very long time ago.
God, what a wonderful experience. How good was the feeling to remember the past, the friends, the memories from a very long time ago.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful music. Thank you for bringing me back so many good experiences and memories.
Happy Easter!
If you ever had someone you keep searching for in every face, in every crowd, in every place. Someone you'd wait forever to see again. I know I do. And maybe on the other side I will. This song continues to mean more to me than I will ever be able to put into words.
Very true and all the very best, love is so precious...
Very true. Same.
Amen.
Same feeling
I have the same feeling.
I really did mess up though.
I wish I was dead.
This is one of those rare pieces of music that you actually feel in your bones.
It's an emotional experience.
So very much agreed sir 👍👍
Agreed. Like many others that this genius has wrote...
One of the best tracks in rock history
Nothing else to listen to when you’re alone in the car. (This and anything country) ...And then your family ride with you and they’re like “not this again” but then they all start to hum the lead guitar at some point and your faith is restored 😀
Well Said 👍
Agreed sir 👍
This is a not song, it's an experience
I totally agree with you!!
Word, sir 👍
This must be THE greatest outro in the whole wide universe .
Yes it is , Mark did a great job on this Epic outro! It gets me everytime. And yes I know this song from my Childhood too
Tunnel of Love won that title
Knopfler is the King of outro's.....there are so many to choose from
Outro? Is that what it’s called? Ok. It IS a great outro.
@@michaelwhipple5429 Intro/outro.
One of the greatest guitar players who ever lived is Mark Knopfler.
I love how this song slowly builds up. Such a good and honourable musician.
Absolutely true.
The unique thing about Mark’s style is that he played with his fingers.
The man never used a pick.
That solo in Sultans Of Swings should have a different perspective now. 🤘⚡️⚡️⚡️
Well Said 👍
@@253jacksonrhoads1 I never really played the guitar myself but I understand that it can be very sore to pluck the strings of a guitar with your fingers and not having something to protect yourself.
There are some other pretty special guitarists out there too, such as Sir Brian May, Mike Rutherford, Slash, Chris Rea and Eric Clapton.
If you think Mark Knopfler is good, you should check out Guitar George. He knows ALL the chords!
"Somewhere your fingerprints remain concrete."
That line is perfect beyond words to me.
I get a shudder down the spine and the hairs stand up on my arms.
@@georgemorley1029Me too sir
Complete?
@@MariapiaLeschiutta what do you mean?
Completed
The song and the comment section make me cry. ❤
There is none better than Mark Knopfler. This is a masterpiece!
Agreed sir 👍
This album my parents won as a prize on the radio at that time my brother was very ill with cancer and passed not long after, and when i hear this song i feel that im still searching for hes face on every street RIP my brother we will be together soon
😢triste
My first wife and I used to play this (on cassette) on our various trips out to the desert and river trips, in our lumbering '79 Scout Traveler. She loved this album.
She passed away in 2004, and this song gets me every time I hear it. It's been awhile, and I sold the Scout years ago, but I still look for her face. Never shows, but I keep looking.
David Kirby My condolences; first on the passing of your soulmate. Second on parting ways with the old International. At least you still have the song. I had a '69 1400.
Im so sorry buddy, it must hurt alot. ❤
David Kirby….my most deeper condolences
Sorry man...
I am so sorry but I am happy that you look for her!
I looked for this song for 7 years. I heard it in the car when I was young, 6 or 7, and it was always my favourite. I finally found it and I'm so happy
So you can say, you looked for it, on every street.
Поздравляю вас!!! Ваша мечта сбылась и это круто!!! Также я желаю вам счастья и любви!!!
Good for you !!
Me too. My dad used to play this in the car when I was small.
All you had to do was check Discogs.
Mum and Dad Can't believe you are both gone, but won't stop me looking!!
The outro is as close to perfect as there is. The basic, yet powerful, beat of the drums, the simple melody Mark plays throughout, the subtle piano and bass but the part that does it for me is the haunting tones of the pedal steel guitar. Absolutely brilliant. I get goosebumps every time I listen to it. I could listen to an infinity loop from 2:51 on.
Absolutely. I turned the outro into a cell phone alarm. Waking up to this is an excellent start of the day...
It's absolutely mesmerizing.
Jeff Porcaro!
Like the outro of Clapton's Let It Grow ... and possibly influenced by it, in the best way possible.
The drummer is Late Great Jeff Porcaro
100% agree.
I never really knew my real Dad he disappeared out of my life when I was very young. My Mum had a boyfriend when I was growing up for around 10 years of my life. It never worked out between them. He was nice to me and learned me a lot...It’s his face that I still look for on every street. Hope you are well Paul!
That comment has just obliterated my heart! I raised my ex partners little girl from 18 month old for 4 years and loved her like she was my own, I never see her now and I'd love to think she had the same outlook as you when shes older.
What a beautiful comment. Hope you find his face someday
Deeply touching.....
@@northeastguitarman She will never forget you mate...that I’m certain of.Good on you and I’m hope you are happy
@@giapamelax Aww thanks Pamela 👍
I'm an '80's kid was blown away, thought DS was just money for nothing..... I cannot believe they had so much great music,
The last two minutes are the searching of the girl the movvements across the streets, on every streets....simply genious. Magic. Music speaking telling the story
Lot of comments about the second half of the song and the guitar work. Let's also take a minute to appreciate the first half and Mark's often overlooked talent as a story telling lyricist. This is one of his most haunting and beautiful lyrics.
Exactly!
Couldnt agree more. A perfect tune from start to finish.
I love the whole song but the lyrics and the melody of the first part give me goosebumps like nothing else
@@stephaniematthes6530 like on every street😅
Jeff Porcaro on the drums, MK on the guitar, DS in play...this is a piece of art! One of the most darkly romantic songs I've heard. The words are bound to take you on a 'rewind tour of life' making you remember everyone whom you loved and who aren't there with you anymore...
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Was Jeff on drums here? Wow the man was everywhere. Not surprising actually.
Manu Cache and Jeff Porcaro
I totally agree... beautifully said, Kumar.
@@jlbuenomeandro yes both on the album but it's Jeff on this track.
The outro section of this song is so famous that the brilliance of the verses doesn't really get the credit it deserves... I'd be honored if some Dire Straits fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performance of ON EVERY STREET in tribute to the genius songwriting of Mark Knopfler. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace and stay safe in the '020s.
Well done, Sir! Gonna watch more of your Vids.
Will, the one and only Jeff Porcaro on drums is driving this sucker home at that point. Such little subtle cymbals up until that point too. So beautiful. RIP Jeff, what a groove.
Agreed. But that outro is truly amazing.
Name that youtube sharing, You`re mentioning, and I will see and listen :) Thanks in advance !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mark knofler is really 1 of a kind.He's music is going to live for ever ❤
I'm from Australia
I love that girl's face that is looking through what appears to be a bus or train. She is lovely.
A person who could write and perform this song gets my profound admiration. This song stops me in my tracks, whatever I am doing or thinking. A masterpiece.
Same sir ❤
Beautiful video adaptation of a timeless classic.
This outro is a sound i can listen to for hours
You said it!!!!
Crash - Chris Malinchak!
Modern Chill mix
Yeah, like with "It never rains" !!!
Epic
I love the great rousing ending as well. It really is an epic.
Never, ever, ever get tired of listening to this
Same sir 👍
The best Mark Knopfler song is the one you're listening to at the time. He is a gift.
Well-stated--and duly 'stolen'--friend, to be said by me from now on when anyone asks Me my favorite Knopfler song.
Knopfler the Great!
I'd be honored if some Dire Straits fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performance of ON EVERY STREET on my YT channel in tribute to the genius songwriting of Mark Knopfler. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital enhancements. Thanks and RESPECT to the legends.
universal and timeless
You’re so right!
One does not simply "listen" to Dire Straits.
My brother love this song who committed suicide at 60 years 💔
The first time I listened to this song, the chord change and his voice on “your injured looks” made me cry instantly. To me this song gets in touch with a longing. In my case there wasn’t a particular face i was looking for on every street… but yet I feel familiar with looking for that face everywhere, that one person I still haven’t found.
Same. I did find her once, but I reacted stupid. Now she's somewhere out there. I wish she's happy. ❤
If you remember this song you are not old, you are high quality vintage
Yes. This Song is a masterpiece.......And we are Forever Young.
@@simonettamilani8631 👌👌
Right on 👍
Timeless classic.
Agreed sir 👍👍
Hello world! Iam Hungary man,and i love this fine music. 😊
The coda to this song is so great I wish it was like 20 minutes long
I just discovered this song. beautiful masterpiece ❤
Agreed sir 👍
You would be hard-pressed to find another 5 minute gem, 3 minutes of which is sheer lyrical genius, followed by 2 minutes of the most stirring, uplifting flourishes of them all. What a gift this is!
Miss you Marie it’s your face I’m looking for on every street RIP 31 years young today ❤❤❤
It's like a poem. The part starting from 2:50. Only Dire Straits can sing through instruments. 🤩
Saw him solo in Pittsburgh years back and never checked the 'set list'. The place respectfully erupted at the sound of, " There's gotta be a record of you someplace". Made a great show even more memorable.
This song is a complete masterpiece, just like the rest of his work . Proper music
Agreed sir 👍👍
this is one of my favs, along with 41 other tracks from Dire Straits.
Rob Gutmann 🤓
Yeah, sort of...!
For some strange reason Mark Knopfler is not included when people talk about the great musicans of the last 50 or 60 years.
In my humble opinion the guy is right up there with the very best.
Cant stop myself from sheding a tear or two whenever i listen to this magnificent piece of art
Same.
One of the best songs from dire straits
Yes my friend x
Agreed sir 👍❤👍
Phenomenal guitarist and songwriter!
Never stop looking, she's always there.👍
What a masterpiece. The video, lyrics and guitar solo all add up to a priceless piece of work.
This song reminds me eternally of a certain girl who once approached me at a baker several years ago quite soon in the morning. She spoke to me in a very kind way. She asked what kind of perfume I wore. I was looking at the offered food, lost in thoughts, still tired, reacted dumb, answered "Just usual shower gel". I did not pay attention, didn't even care to turn my damn head to look at her as it is considered polite when you are talked to. I barely noticed her appearance but, boy, it was so calming and her voice was pleasant. Most likely I wouldn't even recognise her if I saw her again. When I realised what was going on, she had left. I never saw her again and today I still blame myself for being so stupid. Of course I would want to get to know her, but I would give a lot just to let her know I apologise for my rejecting behaviour as maybe she took all her courage to talk to a stranger like me.
Interesting story bro, don't worry
your text is like a lyric .. make a song of it :)
@@claudioosoriodorado2208 Thanks. 💖
@@SnowBo66 Thanks. Unfortunately, I am very bad at music. I can only listen to it, not make it.
yeah, thats what the song is about...
Il tempo passa ma brani come questo non tramontano mai... semplicemente meraviglioso!!!
I Lisen to this almost Daylie, when my grandmother is around she say's "this song reminds me of driving my Fairlane with 4 across the back seat sleeping with Dire straits as loud as possible". it makes me happy.
Mark knopfler: the legend ❤
I was driving with my parents to a family gathering one very early morning in spring. When the sun came and we were in the middle of a long suspension-bridge...this song reached its amazing finale ♡♡♡♡
Awesome
Epic.
Sounds like a perfect moment 😊
I’ve just discovered this song...Dire Straits never disappoint ❤️
The rest of the album is even better.
Play the whole album or cd. Fabulous 🎼🎼🎤🎤💓
This song is so beautiful it hurts.
Yesterday, I learned that my mum have terrible illness while listening to this song. Today, I'm crying all day and put this song over and over again. Be strong, Mum!
best song dire straits ever made imo
O tak Best song - Poland👍
Brothers in Arms
Best DS track changes for me every time.. depends on what mood I’m in. So many great songs and MK is still churning out great masterpieces today
was there ever a more inspired artist than Mark Knopfler? He says it all, he has it all, and he is ever so humble and calm
"Three chord symphony..." that part is glorius
no comment because it is too difficult to comment on a masterpiece like this.
Amen
This song brings back memories of my dearest brother, taken far too soon at the age of 31 by a terrible illness which came out of nowhere, I literally find my self looking for him on every street :’(
I am sorry. ❤
Thanks Mark.
Everybody talks about this song but nobody says about how perfect this video is. The transition from day to night.
Yes, I agree. It's a beautiful one.
I've always felt that the album "On Every Street" was greatly underrated. This song is so damn good, and the accompanying video is beautifully done. Thanks. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I always overlooked it when I was younger myself. Think me and most others were expecting another Brothers In Arms but it's more a transition album from his Dire Straits work in to his solo stuff. Listening to it now I appreciate how good it actually is
Same ❤
The whole album was driven beautifully by the magnificent Jeff Porcaro on drums. A great, GREAT loss, gone at 38 years of age!
We need to slow down our lives.
One of my favorite DS songs. Jeff Porcaro playing the drums and that chord progression are insane.
One of those songs that should be much better known, one of those eternal and magic songs
Magic is made beginning at 2:51. The pure and crisp notes of a guitar master.
Incredible how he layers the walk out & brings this quiet song Home with utter THUNDER....... Totally impossible to remain still as Mark/Dire Straits walk this Home.
That “walk Home” ... is utterly amazing... starts quiet then..... builds to such a pounding finish... your heart starts racing in time with the music as MK is “Going Home.” (Pun intended). Indeed, a great accompanying video capturing the sense “On Every Street.”
Couldn't agree more. This is one of the best examples of the fact you don't need to have fast flying fingers to be a guitar virtuoso.
Perfectly stated. An incredible outro and one of my favorites. The man can do no wrong in my eyes. Everything he plays is gold!
I hear you. I don't underestimate any of their music or Mark Knopfler's solo music. He can do no wrong in my eyes.
Mark and Dire Straits are one of a kind
The guitar part at the end is great.
Still one of my best Dire Straits songs..Mark Knopfler is a Genius !!!
Here's a guy who found his way to be of the most usefulness for the rest of mankind- and enjoying it thoroughly. Lucky guy
First time seein this video
Great job puttin it together ❤
Lovin some DS 🎤🎸😎
The Best ❤
Adoro questa band da sempre, non so spiegare, ma i loro suoni arrivano a toccare le mie corde e mi accompagnano in modo perfetto.
Whole body gave goosebumps on that outro.... nearly about a minute....
le groupe nous manque heureusement il reste a jamais ces jolies melodies qui nous berces encore et encore ,merci mark
Absolute quality of the highest order!
Reminds me of my father , used to listen to it in algeria before being immigrant , HE is my heaven ❤❤❤
Guys.
That orgasmic drum beat that comes in at the end
That's the genius of Jeffrey Thomas Porcaro right there
And Paul Franklin pedal steel guitar.
Poetry made music. One of the best songs of Dire Straits!
Mm
true but what sucks is that this song didn't become a hit.
the best... for me
if you think this is one of their best songs then you haven't listened to much of their music. You should check out Telegraph Road.
unfortunately
I have always loved this track, but it just gets better and better every time I hear this. Great song.
I'd be honored if some Dire Straits fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performance of ON EVERY STREET on my YT channel in tribute to the genius songwriting of Mark Knopfler. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital enhancements. Thanks and RESPECT to the legends.
and it sounded marvellous during Knopfler's last tour April-Oct 2019
Very great song!!
Same, sir.
2:50 onwards the magic moment when a band, without talking, without looking, feels eachother with some undescribable connection to make this absolute magic. it's amazing when everything fits and comes together. this is what i still miss about Mark Knopfler today; the dire straits. Knopfler alone is great. But with the Dire straits, it was legendary. I do miss that.
Jeff Porcaro on drums!
Jeff Porcaro on drums
you should check out Done with bonaparte,real live roadrunning version. MK is all there.
Magnifique ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Oui magnifique
Merci Sonko
Just heard this for the first time. What an incredible song. One of his very best. The outro chord sequence is sublime.
Someone you used to know..... or someone you never will.
Masterpiece 👍🎶🎵🎶
Im 17 now....I listening hip hop and rap. When my father took me from training to home with car he start play this song. When i hear the guitar i start listening Dire Straits.I really like this music.
ur IQ must be pretty low if u listen to hip hop and rap
Come on, How Good is this! !!!! 👍👍
my favourite... ;-(
Mark knofler reali produced some classic songs never got bored with them
❤
This song goes right through my soul!!!
Same ❤
this song brings tears to my eyes everytime, thank you lord that I was born just late enough in human history to enjoy such a superb composition ❤ mark knopfler, you re a genius
Świetny utwòr🤭
Eternal love and music, Mark Knopfler,
High school time...and an old beach juke box from an italian Summer. of many many years ago....cheers from Alexandria, VA, USA.
