[@Rosemary-cv3sz]

Perfect....thank you

[@philipsturtivant9385]

I've been in love with this tune since the first time I heard it nearly 40 years ago. Every time I hear him play it, the hairs on my neck stand up, I get goose bumps, a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes - all of them signs of joy. It is just so beautiful and celebratory. When I'm dead, and they burn what's left behind, let them play this to see me off. And tell them to play it loud - so I can hear it one last time: them big gas burners are right noisy 👍

[@rodneyeerhard2140]

If you want to know and see what "genius" looks and sounds like, listen to this composition from Mark Knopfler. He is cut from a totally different class of a fabric, above and beyond mere mortals. I heard this tune decades ago and still get a lump in my throat when I hear it. It's incredible that so many emotions can be squeezed into a guitar ... only MK is capable of doing that. Also give an applause to the amazing band he has!

[@ngfour61]

I first saw Local Hero when I was eighteen and ever since then I have wanted to visit Pennan, it became sort of a lifetime goal... only some forty years later was I able to ride my bike all the way from Athens, Greece up to this magical village. It was the most memorable journey of my life, and I owe it all to this film and MK's superb music... I am so grateful!

I grow up with him. He teaches me to be resilient singing:" just believe me baby and I'll take you away from out of this darkness and into the day" ( wow! Even my automatic corrector knows it), to appreciate little things ( to many songs about 🙂), to think reality like a beautiful painting to look with curiosity and to be humble and that's what he always does.
