Mist Covered Mountains of Home,
Waltzed and newly harmonized by Mark Knopfler, played by the Dire Straits" and Waltzed in the cult movie -"Local Hero" (1983).In 3 minutes you can see the inn keeper who is also the book keeper of the whole town, accompanies the Dire Straights, playing accordeon, the company representative from USA dances with the inn keepr's wife whom he is so attracred to, a fank girl trying to catch a regular guy, but he escapes, two okd timers try to imitate the expressions of movie stars: Humphrey Bogart, Carrie Grant, and James Stewart, and the local homless tries to stuff food into his pockets, for the whole week. All this event take place while the great rock band performs the old folk song, in a very special and original way.

This movie blew my mind as a 8 year old. For some reason it connected to me then and almost at 48 connects to me still!
big sigh ... my favourite movie on so many levels. Thanks a lot!

Genuinely a masterpiece. I see something new every time that I watch it. Knopfler’s music is the icing on the cake.
Hands down my favourite film of all time
Dire Straits keyboard player Alan Clarke is sitting in with the band on piano!
Ilan, this and the Princess Bride are 2 of my most favorite movies. I saw Local Hero during 2 of the most meaningful years of my life, living in Jerusalem. So tadah rabah for posting and be well.
The soundtrack to this movie - and especially this track - is musical genious
I’ve been watching and rewatching this movie since it first came out, and I’ve only recently found out that this piece is a traditional Scottish melody. Mr K is genius in making this and his film score fit so perfectly together
The best movie
Beautifully Haunting. I can see the mist rolling over the distance mountains
He's not homeless. He lives on and owns the beach!

best movie ever

The film is like a diamond; with every turn there's more depth and beauty. One "unsung" beauty is switchboard operator Betty Macey.
Thanks for uploading. I wish there was a clean recording of that version somewhere, I've always loved how it was played in the movie.

It’s a copy of later but there is a recording of the Sound track on CD & Vinyl.I have a copy of both. I just googled it, it is on that CD & Vinyl. It has every bit of that films soundtrack on it (clean), just as it is shown in the film . The soundtrack is just gorgeous.

@@beagle7622 If you're referring to the album "Music From Local Hero", it has the track "The Mist Covered Mountains" but it appears to be fragments of music from this scene spliced either end of a composition of the song on a synth. It's a shame because the way it was played in this scene is just so completely enchanting.

@@sussurus it has a Yellow Cover headed “Local Hero”, I have it on Vinyl & CD, playing through a nice sound system. Wild Theme is just sublime . They have Wild Theme on them.. I sometimes play it late at night or watch the amazing film which I have on DVD.
So many memorable moments.
Very soon after this the 2 Cunningham brothers passed through Columbus OH USA for a sparsely attended (because of publicity breakdown) concert at a dive near the huge OSU campus. Our party were pipe band and ceilidh aware, and enthusiastic, so the brothers changed the usual ending of their show to play "Mist Covered Mountains" just this way as a waltz, with some of us dancing to it and soon joined by others. It would take us years to realize how rare that moment was. RIP Johnny.
Mmmm. There’s nothing like a table of home cooked cakes buns, sausage rolls and sandwiches at a local get together. As good as the music.
This is my favourite part of the film.
Ah - chi mi na morbheanna. A thing of true beauty.
Mark Knopfler is much more than Dire Straits Such a talent
mark knopfler is skilled enough to write beyond his own 'range'
The band is called The Acetones :-) I did not catch that before !
Lucky people in a easy world 😍🏴
Goosebumps
There's Alan Clark ... along with 70s Strat and Ovation!
Let it never end.
AWESOME FILM !!!!!!!!! LOL XD
Sigh! Thank you for this
Beware. One can fall in love during a Scottish waltz…
Always wanted to hear this version of the song, the Knopfler version is different.
Oh to have been there....
UR right. In the movie they did it traditionally But they did perform, and Knofler did write andqor arrange the music in Local Hero
Genial
J aimerais tellement revoir ce film impossible de retrouver en dvd en France
someone anyone, please upload 'the rocks and the water'. its so beautiful.

Well, thanks. I saw this movie at least 20 times and only since YT deleted the whole movie I saw this scene alone and noticed it. Nevertheless I still love my nick name - MAC - and the final scene above all. Needless to say: this piece of music is my fav and it will always be.

Are you sure that's Dire Straights on that tune. I've played it hundreds of times and it's sure not harmonized any differently than most trad session players do it. Sounds like an old traditional tune played in a traditional manner by a traditional bunch of musicians.

I loved the excellent music mixed with special Scottish characters. The backgrond enhances my pleasure. Even Waltzing the old Mist Covered Mountains, is accceptable in this context.
