    For 50 years, I lived in a world of Shangri-La with my Bonnie until she was called by the Almighty to transcend above the blue sky. She now in a better place. This song reminds me how beautiful our life were from the first moments of our union until it ended with COVID. Each time I hear this song it takes me back to memories of dancing with an angel of such beauty. I will always love her and one day I will dance with her in our own Shangri-La💞💞💞💞

    Knopfler is truly one of the premier guitarists out there…such a sweet tone he conjures out of his instrument.

      I was going to comment on that just as I saw your post. He has a lot of guitars and he uses a lot of different guitars in a concert depending on the song. The tones that come out of those guitars is unbelievable.

    is unsurpassed in my opinion. And of course the impeccible harmonies of Harris and Knopfler are outstanding.
    The other musucians that are involved in the project are outstanding as well. So much talent in one place!

      I disagree with the "monotonic" description of Mark's voice. He has solid technique and inflection, understands pitch well and his voice is warm and melodious.
      To really understand this , listen to his
      " Brothers in Arms" song, then play Metallica's rendition of the same song.
      And yes , Emmy Lou is a true legend!

    Knopfler has one of the best ear/feel/understanding of and insight into arrangement of any modern composer.

He paints them the way an old master painted their portraits.

    Mark Knopfler is one of those artists who demand expressions from "A" to "Z" from dictionaries, describing his entire trajectory of success, respect, dedication and donation to world music and art. Vocation is not enough without LOVE and he has already proved that he has plenty left, because we can feel it in his songs His talent is consolidated and eternalized by all generations, which is an extraordinary feat and a great pride for music and all of us, its fans. Single and multiple artist in attributes and qualities, among all, only one was missing; he is undeniably INCOMPARABLE! Mark Knopfler has it all, it's just unparalleled. May we all have such a positive and loving vibration transmitted by the special and enlightened being that is Mark Knopfler 🎇👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

    This song is one of the Hymns of My Life, which is a playlist that tells the story of my life. I originally put it there because it reminds me of my beloved Bonaire where my husband gave me the universe when he introduced me to scuba diving and where we regularly go. Watching the sun sink into the sea each night and a place where I am in tune with the stars and the joy that it brings us both. As I grow older, though, it reminds me that my whole life with my husband has been my own Shangri-la. Lucky me. Thank you, Mark Knopfler, for singing so many beautiful songs that are just perfect nuggets of history and life and beauty. Your music has been an integral part of my life for 40+ years.

      Unfortunately Mark has given up touring, I count my lucky stars that I attended so many of his concerts. Presumably that's why many of his guitars were sold at a London auction only last week since he'll no longer be playing them. They raised over £8m, much of the money raised he's donating to charities.

    The point of this song is not a location. Yes, Shangri-La means a paradisical location, Shangri-La is actually the name of the studio where Knopfler recorded the whole album. song is actually about love, youth and companionship. The singer knows youth doesn't last for ever, "it's here and then it's gone", "we may never love again". All the "surfer boys and girls" are the spirit of carefree youth. All the friendship, passion and freedom blend into a Shangri-La of the emotions - there is a place, but it's a place in his head/heart. "We may never love again" doesn't mean "This is a one-night stand"; it means "We may never love anyone else as much as we love each other at this moment." I love the Piano and the Violin. A beautiful song with a Meaning in our Lives!!

Real musicians with serious "chops" and a songwriter who creats from his soul and then uses that instrument as an extension! Sorry he will probably not be doing any big tours again. He looked pretty worn out at his last show in MSG last September. Played beautifully though!😊
