Dire Straits - Where Do You Think You're Going? (HQ audio)

[@sidhiqali5808]

Once one of my friend asked me why you always listening the old songs.he is a justin bieber kinda music guy. i asked him to sit, and i played this song. during the last guitar part he closed his eyes and i could see he is tightening his grips on the chair, his hands holding tight... then when the song was over i looked at him and i smiled; but he aint said a single word, nor he replied anything, no smiles nothing... then i told myself "hey Mark here is another guy for you, take him.." now he is a mark knopfler fan better than i do..

All they did was great , even beyond the band itself, but do you agree that communiqué, love over gold and on every street are the the top 3 Dire straits albums. To me artisticaly, sound and production wise they're the best.

[@manoahvanderwolf3259]

The world wouldn't be the same without Mark Knopfler and the Dire Straits. it's sad to realize that there is going to be a day without him. thankfully, we can listen to this brilliant music even after. i have been a fan of the dire straits as long as i can remember and i'm NEVER ever tired of hearing it. This, is music. This, is creativity. This, is having a gift. NO autotune. NO computers. Just a man and his guitar. and indeed, lets not forget, the fantastic combo of the band members including that fantastic drummer. It's sad they aren't together anymore. And as good as Mark is and as fantastic his music, i still prefer the Dire Straits. In his solo albums, you can see Mark's 'yourney' with music and his creative capabilities. But in the Dire Straits, it's absolute perfection. Every. Single. Time.

This is a beautifully composed song, with great guitar playing. Where Do You Think You’re Going? is a song of two halves, as it starts off relatively low-key, then turns more upbeat towards the end. Dire Straits were pretty much incomparable.

I think that you don’t know You got no way of knowing Really no place you can go I understand your changes A-long before you reach the door I know where you think you’re going I know what you came here for And now I’m sick of joking You know I like you to be free A-where d’ya think ya going? I think you better go with me girl You say there is no reason But you still find cause to doubt me If you ain’t with me girl You’re gonna be without me Yeah Where d’ya think you’re going? Don’t you know it’s dark outside? Where d’ya think you’re going? I wish I didn’t care about my pride? And now I’m sick of joking You know I like you to be free girl A-where d’ya think you’re going?
