Dire Straits - On Every Street

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

[@adraak28]

In 1992 I went to a music store and bought 5 cassette albums. Michael Jackson's Dangerous. Dire Straits On Every Street. Donna Summer's Mistaken Identity and Enigma's debut album. Think what a beautiful time it was.

[@gabrielazuren]

what a great selection you did 👏

[@willritter4076]

I'd be honored if some Dire Straits fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of ON EVERY STREET and IF I EVER LOSE MY FAITH IN YOU by Sting in tribute to this genius songwriting. Live acoustic on my YT with no autotune or digital enhancements. Peace and stay safe.

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!

That soprano sax phrase... it's simply beautiful. And the guitar in the last two minutes... it seems to sing the unresolved nature of the song. And Jeff Porcaro on drums... his beat lives on.

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.

[@danielhausser8038]

Exactly!

[@colingeddes2172]

Couldnt agree more. A perfect tune from start to finish.

[@stephaniematthes6530]

I love the whole song but the lyrics and the melody of the first part give me goosebumps like nothing else

[@colingeddes2172]

The coda to this song is so great I wish it was like 20 minutes long

[@myspace8090]

Beautiful video adaptation of a timeless classic.

[@VideoAssociates]

Effortlessly seems to write these songs that are so deep many years later on, amazing Dire Straits

such a hauntingly beautiful and sad song, I wish it was longer... also criminally underrated 💔

Magic is made beginning at 2:51. The pure and crisp notes of a guitar master.

[@BeachBadger78]

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.

[@BeachBadger78]

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.

[@MissDistarr60]

Perfectly stated. An incredible outro and one of my favorites. The man can do no wrong in my eyes. Everything he plays is gold!

[@MissDistarr60]

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.

[@HartatySirait_hidamari]

This song is so beautiful it hurts.

[@HartatySirait_hidamari]

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!

[@jspade2376]

This song is a gorgeous masterpiece (one of many for Dire Straits imo)--Knopfler's haunting gituar melody and beautiful lines like "the moon is turned upside down" to denote the chaotic, overwhelmed feeling of painfully loosing love, and "every victory has a taste that's bittersweet" which, of course, is deeply true about adult human experience--nothing is either good or bad, just happy or sad, but tinged with its opposite emotion from the memories of having experienced the other side of what your feeling now--Dire Straits is no longer, but hope that Knopfler continues to share his genius with us

[@danielhausser8038]

So true, sir ❤
