He is the Godfather of the guitar, one in 10 million, lm 70 enjoyed his music for decades
When my dear sweet 98 year old dad was passing i played this song for him . My head was on his heart as he took his last breath. He wasn't afraid of dying, he just loved living. ❤
,Sorry my english is not so good.but i hope you under stand me..i com from Russia ( Novosibirsk )and life in Germany with my german husband.He say to me: Look for this guitar player,after this moment, i love the Songs from Mark,all time
❤
Your English is fine. 😊 I'm glad Mark has another fan. He's the best!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Your English is better than most people in the UK.😊
Thank you.
Mark is of legendary status. I am glad to be alive to be a consumer of his rich music which is not popular here in Kenya but very popular in my spheres.
Play this at my funeral, one of the most beautiful songs!
OMG - I am crying here listening to this beautiful man, band and song.
This will be my sailing away tune, the one where you don't come back, on the one way ticket, but you know we never really leave, ever!
Stunning - should be Scotland's national anthem.
Definately Ian!
The song is about Knopfler's uncle Freddie ( mother side : Frederick John Laidler ) who was a piper of the 1st Battalion, Tyneside Scottish, the Black Watch, Royal Highland Regiment. Freddie carried his pipes into action in World War II and was killed with fellow fighters at Ficheux, near Arras in the north of France in May 1940. He was just 20 years old.
Knopfler describes the moment of Freddie's death in the latter's own words:
This has been a day to die on
Now the day is almost done
Here the pipes will lay beside me
Silent with the battle drum

All of his compositions are fantastic, but this is one you really have to work hard to hold in the tears, but once they start it's harder to stop

Perfect....thank you so much ❤😊
could listen to this song for hours, spectacular guitar solo, the Knopfler sound is spectacular. Mark is a Master
A piper friend of ours recently died and had his funeral with this music playing. Beautiful.
Oh my God, this man never fails to tear me up. I should have known it would be like that as far back as Sultans of Swing but you know, sometimes you just don't see it coming.
Mark has to be one of the most inspired songwriters ever. His lyrics are so amazing...
Damn, I envy that crowd. They have witnessed Mark producing something magical from his guitar. Such worldclass playing!
i was at this concert one of my best
He is a real living legend.
Everything he touches turns to gold. I love this man!
Lyrics:
When I leave this world behind me
To another I will go
If there are no pipes in heaven
I'll be going down below
If friends in time be severed
Someday we will meet again
I'll return to leave you never
Be a piper to the end
This has been a day to die for
Now the day has almost gone
Up above a choir of seabirds
Turns to face the setting sun
Now the evening dawn is calling
And all the hills are burning red
And before the night comes falling
Clouds are lined with golden thread
We watched the fires together
Shared our quarters for a while
Walked the dusty roads together
Came so many miles
This has been a day to die on
Now the day is almost done
Here the pipes will lay beside me
Silent will the battle drum
If friends in time be severed
Someday here we will meet again
I return to leave you never
Be a piper to the end
How did Mark Knopfler make all theese masterpice??? Cant understand how one man can make so much feelings❤. Respeckt from Norway.
So beautiful & the song is about his Uncle Freddie OMG truely beautiful & moving ❤️
Actually we had this particular song at the funeral of our brother, who died in an awful car accident.
We will never forget this song, it was so well choosen as he had always been a big fan of Dire Straits, right from the beginning.
I am sorry for your deep lose 😔
I am a big Knopfler fan, but this is by far my favorite song
Listening Mark is listening che sound of Scotland, Scotland magic and wonderful. How much I love this man and his music! We will return to our land, I 'm Italian but that is my land.
Cara Penelope,mi hai strappato una lacrima..Sento che e' o e' stata anche la mia terra,la mia casa,la mia vita.Un caro saluto. Roberto
Roberto Timo grazie, si vede che abbiamo lo stesso feeling per quel paese magico che è la Scozia.....
Lovely to hear that you have such a strong emotional attachment with Scotland. I must admit that we Scots love a sad song - we can be great fun, but also great sadness as well. I think it may have to do with our past history, but it is inbuilt into us. However it does mean that we can and have produced some great, emotional songs - Gerry Rafferty “ Baker Street” , Rabbie Burns “ Auld Lang Syne”, Blue “ I wish I could fly “ amongst many others. Wishing you well. 🏴🏴🏴
What a beautiful song right out of Scotland just like Mark.
It is hard to describe how comforting snd healing this song is for me-- like spiritual medicine for my soul.
When there is no Mark Knopfler in heaven I will be going down below cheers you are amazing brilliant sir Knopfler
Great line! 🌈
Lol.
There are men who speak to the most affectionate and secretive part of our soul and so make it clear that you like to call on you: GOD BLESS YOU BEATIFUL MEN!!!
Wonderful song and sublime guitar solo, Mark is endlessly astonishing with his pieces of art. Hats off maestro!
as famous as he is ,terribly under rated muso ,,,as a muso I see how he pulls the sound out of that guitar ,its all touch and not easy ,,,much easier to shred than play with touch,,,god love ya
Fusione di due grandissimi artisti,eclatante musica,indimenticabili!❤❤❤❤❤ ❤
I love this man.
Hugs the soul when you need one.
Wonderful man for gifting us w his music. I can still remember the day listening to Dire Straits debut album
One of my ancestors was english and scottish and i love great britain!!!even more than my country probably because a piece of my heart stay here....
Beautiful song, and what a consummate musician/pro that Mark is. He has no problem sharing the stage with other players, and he has no problem backing them up like he's doing here. He doesn't overplay like others, and maintains/controls his volume just right to complement the song and his band. It's easier said than done. A pro's pro.
Dude’s got class.
This is and has been the place I retreat to, friends from 30+ years of dear friends. Most have passed in life, but my mind still sees them next to me...they welcomed me into their lives and family. Beautiful friends, old white guy from Austin, TX. I am lost sometimes, but thankful.
So so beautiful, I love Marks voice
This is one of the most deeply felt song with word's of genuine heart with my own feelings in each strum, note and chord! It is sad with the honesty of believing that there will be place for all our purest heart's to be as one! That was beautiful!🌹Heart to Heart!🌹
Your Guide to Happiness! I know! ❤ I Love You.Wisdom comes with age and experiences with others and God! Namaste.💖 Respectively KathyL.Lyons💖 The most precious of wonderments you give me each step in every way!
Beautiful thoughts...
Saw him in October at Sony theatre in Toronto..! He did not disappoint..! Three encores... later, everyone was happy..!
Would that I could give Mark and his band 1,000 thumbs up! Humbled by this beauty.
what the hell does humbled by this beauty mean you fool
I’m a Northumbrian and this song melts me so much... it’ll see me out..😢
Hope not!
Love this song so much, thank you Mark💕💕💕

Muito me encanta o estilo de tocar guitarra do Mark Knopfler, seus floreios, seu dedilhado. Pra mim ele é um dos melhores guitarristas de todos os tempos. E os músicos que o acompanham também são feras. Curto muito suas canções!
Sempre que penso em dizer que amo esta música, me lembro que tem aquela, a outra, a outra e mais a outra... na verdade, amo todas!!! Mark, você é meu ídolo! Lov u 4ever
🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸❤️🦋
Mark Knopfler is really a State of Art in composition and a fine singer, and obviouslly playing guitar. I hope he comes again to Sao paulo. Their songs are like an incredible old wine. Como para brindar por la vida y la música!!!!

Hallo hier ist Thomas. Einen guten Gitarristen erkennt man an seiner Gitarre. Eine schöne Fender oder eine schöne Gibson in der Hand zu halten ist was feines. Thomas Labudda. DANKE.

Saying a prayer 🙏🏼 for Dave and his loyal companion. ❤️

Ringo Westy, formally of City West Water. Are you a MK aficionado?
Meu cantor favorito ! Curto este cara desde meus 14 anos e quero pedir um grande favor a Mark Knopfler , venha ao Brasil em um Rock in Rio , tenho certeza que esgotará os ingressos muito rápido e que faltará lugar . Grande abraço do seu eterno fâ .
Acredito que todos os grandes nomes já tenham vindo ao Rock in Rio.... Só faltou o Dire Straits... mas ficaríamos muito honrados se Mark Knopfler viesse... seria a glória... Esse também é meu preferido desde 1982, quando ouvi pela sua genialidade no Dire Straits pela primeira vez...
Unbelievable fingers from the master Mr mark knopler.
Just beautiful, no one does it like Mark ...
the best ever
Wonderful! Thank you very much! I love this song! Shared on G+, 27.08.2016

Romeo with his 6-string Juliet.
Soundslike a prayer from your heart,blessed!!!
I can't get the song out of my head. Such a haunting melody. Songs don't have to be complex to be great. Amazing Grace is the most widely know song on Earth. I do wish I knew what the white guitar is though.
It's a Fender Electric XII
I thought Auld Lang Syne was the most widely known song. I’m sure I read that somewhere, although I could be wrong.
