The Trawlerman's Song by Mark Knopfler

[@Amol_Joshi]

I listened to this gem on loop over a period of 2 years when I lived alone in solitude. I felt such beautiful companionship from this song & its lyrics. Mark Knopfler's voice is pure gold. Closest to my heart. My most favorite song on Earth❤

[@ajpaauwe4849]

I am glad. Enjoy listening

[@erikdeeNOSPELLSNO]

Im doing that now!!!!

[@sarahcartwright302]

I hear you You are seen.

[@DBIRD55]

Reminds me of my old fishing buddy. Very soothing music

[@abhaybakshi5918]

What a music...my all time favourite ... touches deep in heart..Mark Knopfler is easily best guitarist I have ever listened. pure bliss..seren...uplifting music. Take a bow.

[@amarbakshi2839]

I agree

[@marklowe6862]

I agree .....

[@christopherdolan8914]

Mark knopfler,is unique,the master should be knighted.has brought me threw thick and thin in all of my life.old school quite family man and writes and sings songs that mean a lot and gets you by day to day.legend.timally a long follower of this iconic man.

[@ajpaauwe4849]

I agree with you

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

Yes

[@sailordoc2007]

Christopher Dolan not sure he cares much for that sort of thing

[@bjdugan19136]

MK is knighted I believe. A great great man that I can relate to so much like we are out of the same mold. I play too but MK's got superior talent and I look up to him as he makes sense of situations we all face at one time or another.

[@mariainesmuller6538]

I agree❤❤❤❤

[@ikantdanz]

Such a beautiful song. Having grown up in a small fishing community, this song brings back memories of watching the boats leaving every year, and makes me cry every time I hear it for those who didn't come back. Beautiful and bittersweet.

[@ceridavies5688]

I’m sure fishing boats left more than ‘every year’. Probably every few weeks would be more likely.

[@Ely14065]

It's not about art or artist, it's a tribute to ever tirelessly working fisherman, expressed in Mark's narrative vocals. Song, with how differently presented in instrumental version of "Going Home", yet both with the same intention. A Little politicized, but miningfull, beautiful song. Thx. Mr. Knopfler 🎸 👌

[@angelachignoli8800]

I love all of Mark's songs and that mellow voice.🎸😍❤️

[@silviaelena1799]

We're taking on the water, diesel and stores Layin' up awhile before I'm back on board They're patching her up To go fishin' again, fishin' again Weldin' her rudder, scrubbin' her keel Scars on her belly need time to heal In the dock With the trawlermen I know all the people There's nobody new Soon we'll be leavin' with the same old crew On the greener water The tumbling sea They ain't running like the good old days Time's just slipping down the old slipways In the dock So dear to me Dark is the night And I need a guiding light to keep me From founderin' on the rocks My only prayer Is just to see you there at the end Of my wandering back in the dock I could use a layoff getting my strength back But there's a loan to pay off and a few skipjack So it's a turnaround Back in the southerly wind, southerly wind Pirates coming in to steal our gold You can count yourself lucky with a profit in the hold In the dock When we come in Dark is the night And I need a guiding light to keep me From founderin' on the rocks My only prayer Is just to see you there at the end Of my wandering back in the dock Back in the dock

[@andreandi24]

Thank you for that!

[@MariaSantos-up3kf]

Just awesome

[@BeachBadger78]

So much more poignant... now.. in January on the East Coast of NJ ..off Season in the dead of Winter... January with its cold empty streets... beaches & marinas.. & those empty docks visited with by lonely gulls.

Just beautiful and a wonderful tribute to our hard working fisherfolk…

[@trainwithtimothy]

Why does this song touch me so deeply?

[@ajpaauwe4849]

Yes...has that effect on people...the ups and downs of life painted so well by Mark

[@jasonknight7783]

I couldn't agree more the Chorus and the lines 'I could use a layoff getting my strength back ,But there's a loan to pay off and a few skipjack So it's a turnaround Back in the southerly wind, ' helped me through a very lonely time and will always be special.

[@ajpaauwe4849]

@@jasonknight7783 I agree with you totally. Nice if the world stopped and let me catch up. Feeling overwhelmed the more I get older it seems. Don't remember this pace in the 80's! Just been sitting with a cup of my wife's herbal night time tea ...something I never do and sitting on the floor with a bible opened...something I used to do better! I know God understands but wish it wasn't so tiring and anxious. Need to slow things down somehow and make time or build time to rest and do nothing without feeling guilt or pressure ...Take care

This sounds like the type of song I would imagine Ian Tyson covering. Ian has been a major fan of Mark’s for years, and Mark has been a major influence on his songwriting. However; Ian has died recently from health complications and therefore would be unable to record or perform any longer. If Ian were still alive, and were to sing one of Mark’s songs, it would probably be “The Trawlerman’s Song”.
