Like, when he wrote this, years ago, he probably thought "good song, I like that", but never in his wildest, craziest dreams, would he have foreseen this night with Emmy Lou Harris laying it down like gospel. In front of her daughters, yet. This is why you dedicate your life to music.

[@frv84]

Same for Emmylou.

[@flathenry7574]

My wife and I were there! Two amazing, beautiful, gifted musicians! Thanks, Mark and Emmylou!

[@kathyharman7769]

[@timwright4263]

Emmylou elevates every song she performs.

[@swithenpondamali874]

I like the way Madam Emmylou starts the intro through strumming then when she starts singing the first verse, she quickly goes to picking notes, before you know it Mr. Knopfler's guitar sets in, beautiful harmonies!!!

[@UltraLiteSpeed1]

I would play this song for my Wife way back in 1985.. It was the Second CD I purchased when CD Players came out.. This Song was Our Song then.. She is gone now.. I am still here today.. This Song now brings back so many memories and Feelings.. I cry now and think of her when I hear this song.. Today was no exception..

[@jannaghaleiw5504]

Baby, I see this world has made you sad Some people can be bad The things they do, the things they say But baby, I'll wipe away those bitter tears I'll chase away those restless fears That turn your blue skies into gray Why worry There should be laughter after pain There should be sunshine after rain These things have always been the same So why worry now Why worry now Baby, when I get down I turn to you And you make sense of what I do And though it isn't hard to say But baby, just when this world seems mean and cold Our love comes shining red and gold And all the rest is by the way Why worry There should be laughter after pain There should be sunshine after rain These things have always been the same So why worry now Why worry now ❤🎉🌷⚘️🌺💐

So good. Mark is undeniably the most underrated song writer and guitar player of his time. He plays the guitar with such finesse.

[@joe22589]

Greg Szeman hey dude, mark isn't underrated in any way. He belongs to the peers and all musicians name him as a world class musician - instrumental, singing, songwriting. How can you say he is underrated? Chet Atkins said that MK is one of the best around, so did Eric Clapton. He is in the Rolling Stone ranking - what else do you need?

[@cpharris41]

Joe & Greg: Mark Knopfler may not be underrated among fellow musicians, critics and the discerning public, but he does seem to have a fairly modest demeanour, avoiding self-promotion and not projecting a massive ego on the public consciousness the way some others do or have done. Perhaps that low-key persona is what you were getting at, Greg?

[@KaninTuzi]

@@joe22589 I disagree, he is very rarely mentioned by guitar heads and other guitarists. I think they are honestly intimidated by him and his very honest and beautiful playing.

[@777sicilia]

joe22589 Naming Rolling Stone as reference doesn’t prove or help in any way. Those “writers” and that magazine haven’t been relevant in 30 years. I’m not saying you’re wrong, just that I wouldn’t take stock in anything they say. It’s obvious that Knopfler is one of the greatest and anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot.

[@michaelscott8992]

A harmonic resonance combining the beauty of music and the humanity it glorifies that only the finest can channel like this. When you're compelled to rest in the silent afterglow, allowing the ripples from the wake of such a beautiful, momentarary resonance carry you as it lingers, the serenity can be powerful as well as peaceful. You can't will something like this. Like a rainbow or aurora borealis, it happens when it happens, and if fortunate to recognize and seize those moments, those happenings, you've allowed yourself a rare gift that can't be manufactured, bought, or ordered on demand. Thank you both for this genuinely northern lights moment.
