Like any artful masterpiece this ballad never gets old. This song inspired me throughout my end stage heart failure from 42 to 52, when every breath had become a laborious task. This song gave me hope that blissful peace and rest wasn't far away, making peace with dying is the most liberating thought I've ever had, incredibly I was one of the very few extremely fortunate ones who received a heart transplant..... even though I don't feel like "a young man sitting in an old man's bar waiting for my chance to die" anymore, this song still moves me in ways which are hard to comprehend, and my adopted heart cherishes this masterpiece as much as my old worn out and discarded one. Thank you Mark you'll never know how many people you have helped with your unbelievable talent and brilliant humility. Bless you my man! Peace and love to everyone reading this comment.

[@Soviecik1]

Thank you for sharing your story. Im glad you are all right and hope you live a long and fullfilling life. I am also in a position to say that my life would be nowhere where it is today if not for the strength Mark's music was able to grant me. His unbelievable guitar talent was what inspired me to improve on the instrument and push boundaries. Yet many of the stories he told us are relatable in almost unreplicable way. The gift of music is one to be cherished and I am truly glad we are able to use it in order to create beauty, it is one of the few things that truly makes me feel that there is a deeper meaning in life, almost in a spiritual way.

​@@ageingfast you're absolutely right... but I don't know that "working class" was intended as a pejorative. I would tend to agree with the earlier poster that Mark maintains a grounded, middle-class (perhaps we can agree on that term) attitude and appears to have remarkably little ego issues given his stature. A succinct version might be that he's not seemed to let success go to his head.

RIP to Local Hero Richard A. "Dick" Samuels. He died in May 2021 at the age of 77 from a sudden illness related to COVID-19. He was my railroad coworker, and a mentor to me. He was a true gentleman, a legend, larger than life person. He was a Trail Blazer in the best sense of the word. It's a devastating loss for me, because I knew him since 1998. He was a Local Hero to everybody who knew him, myself included. Gone, but not forgotten. Clear Tracks and High Green on the big railroad in the sky. Two Bells.

The only movie he would ever watch was Local Hero, it was his favorite. He loved Mark Knopfler's music. When Dad died, I knew exactly what piece of music I needed to pick. It was this one. When my Mom followed him 6 months later I couldn't think of a better one than this either, because she loved watching the only movie my Dad liked along with him. They are Home now. Thank you Mark Knopfler for this incredible gift.

The big blokes are all my lifelong mates , & we were allowed to have the service in a tiny but very picturesque Norman Estate Church that is normally closed , mum was born on that estate & married my late Dad there , & this music seemed to fit perfectly , my advice to anyone else thinking of doing this , just go for it .

From one of my all-time favorite movies. The ending always gets to me. I find myself smiling through tears.

I fill up every time I hear this - also the best ever ending to a live concert, and it's played (very loudly) as Newcastle United enter the field at St James' Park!

[@dannycostello1978]

Me too.

[@chrisrichardson7746]

Got such a buzz when hearing this at St James Park when NUFC came out on the pitch

[@dj_ray]

FTM!

The super talented wonderful Mark Knofler, I love this song and my darling granddaughter loves The Sultans of Swing since she was a baby.

When I was young, I loved this song very much. Thanks for KZbin. I can listen it again.

I remember playing this for my eldest nephew when he was a few months old. He didn't smile or cry, but he seemed very contented.

Masterpriece of every Time!! ❤ Leyend Forever 😢

[@williamwallace6508]

Holy crap! This song makes me happy!

[@johnseldow3573]

I feel homesick every time I listen to this song...masterpiece..classic

[@paulkattenberg1908]

This was played when I carried my dad's casket to his resting place for me the last time. Brings a tear to my eye every time

Io sono un estimatore da sempre sei dire straits e di mark knopfler, uno dei più grandi chitarristi del mondo. A 72 anni compiuti suona ancora da dio. Se gli metti in mano un micio vileda e capace di estrarre musica anche da quello. The best of mark knopfler. ❤

[@ids9137]

Mark Knopfler, the greatest guitar player ever

[@joohobbs464]

This was played as the curtains closed at my Dad’s funeral. I will always remember him whenever I hear some Dire Straits or Mark’s other work. RIP Dad xx

This song reminds me of my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost her battle with cancer. I wish I could change the hands of time. I miss her smiles; she was always there for me and our lovely daughter. Life can be so unfair at times; sometimes I wonder why bad things always happen to good people. She will always be in our hearts.

Loved the film and loved Mark's soundtrack.
