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

The unique thing about Mark’s style is that he played with his fingers. The man never used a pick. That solo in Sultans Of Swings should have a different perspective now. 🤘⚡️⚡️⚡️

@@253jacksonrhoads1 I never really played the guitar myself but I understand that it can be very sore to pluck the strings of a guitar with your fingers and not having something to protect yourself. There are some other pretty special guitarists out there too, such as Sir Brian May, Mike Rutherford, Slash, Chris Rea and Eric Clapton.

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.

Probably I'm wrong with that, as I was born on 1994, but as long as I listen to this song and watch this video I feel like I miss those days that I never lived or at least I lived with no consciousness of it. Sometimes I wished I was born earlier just to be young or adult enough to be able to see a live concert by people such as Dire Straits, Queen or Michael Jackson.

[@fez9152]

The outro is as close to perfect as there is. The basic, yet powerful, beat of the drums, the simple melody Mark plays throughout, the subtle piano and bass but the part that does it for me is the haunting tones of the pedal steel guitar. Absolutely brilliant. I get goosebumps every time I listen to it. I could listen to an infinity loop from 2:51 on.

[@frankdecock2735]

Absolutely. I turned the outro into a cell phone alarm. Waking up to this is an excellent start of the day... It's absolutely mesmerizing.

Mark knopfler: the legend ❤

[@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

A former boyfriend got me hooked on Mark Knopfler's music. We have not had any contact for almost a decade. I stumbled upon 'On Every Street' several years ago and fell in love with it. As 'fate' would have it, recently I spotted him at a gas station quick mart... right in front of me in line waiting to pay for stuff. We exchanged glances, but then POOF! he was gone! Never to be heard from or seen again!?!?!

Mark and Dire Straits are one of a kind

This has come by me after 20yrs, bought this album in HK and listened to this song in the Hotel room with my GF at the time and it made the hairs stand on the back of my neck , the GF is no longer around but the memories are wonderful..... MKnof skills and lyrics really do pull some heart strings!

2:50 I remember hearing that the first time as a young Kid..I instantly was blown away..so beautiful

[@Nicks_Pix]

Never heard this song til this video (I was in my 20s when it came out) and I too am blown away

I was a kid too, in Navy High School.

A beautiful song. A love song of sorts and a poem in its own way. It's very pretty.

I read somewhere that it's about a detective trying to find a serial killer.

One of the greatest guitar players in the world. The band is Iconic

In May of 1997, I was listening to this over and over again while driving around the Finnish island of Åland and finally deciding to get out of a bad marriage. My love for the song has never waned.

Music has the ability to conjure up memories that you forgot you even had. I remember working in London in the mid 2000's walking home after closing shop or a night out and listening to this fullblast on headphones. Such a treat!

[@wojtex227]

This is the most beautiful song I 've ever heard.

[@Vico649]

This song reminds me of a bitter breakup with my girlfriend at varsity. I have forgiven her and myself too. I used to play this song a lot then. One can never forget pain like that but life must go on. Thanks Dire Straights for the great music.

[@danielhausser8038]

I can relate to that, sir 👍❤😢

I will donate once I can to St. Jude. I believe in unconditional love and the capacity for giving to everyone who needs the very simple idea of being seen.

[@Paradise.avenue]

One of the best rock songs in KZbin 👏👏👏👏

[@floydfan7511]

I take comfort in the thought that my touch, no matter how small, will still remain on this earth for many years after I'm forgotten.....it's you I'm looking for Emma, on every street. Until we meet again you're here in my heart & every thought 🙏💓🙏

This album deserves much better ratings than what some reviewers give it. For one thing it's beautifully recorded-an audiophiles dream- and more than half the songs are first rate. If you get this cd, or an excellent download, sit back and listen to the ballads: recorded sound doesn't get much better than this. And btw: thanks for creating such a good video for this great song!

[@charlie01546]

Always thought this was a good album tbh. Introducing pedal steel guitar was a touch of genius, check out the live versions of this song.

[@radiowithoutastation9579]

Jehoshful This album is brilliantly engineered.
