Knopfler is, in my opinion, the most masterful guitarist, ever. He makes the guitar sing. In his hands, it comes exceptionally close to having the versatility and timbre of the human voice.

This song just devastated me when I first heard it. It’s an absolutely perfect take on a Charlie Rich song. The original is presented fairly differently. It reminds me to this day of a long drive from South Dakota to Minnesota back when I was separated from my wife. It’s off such a great album. You will absolutely love it.

Good Lord if that ain't a song.

Beautiful song and best guitarist!!! 🔝🔝🔝🎸🎸

For godness sake...This voice it's absolutely BRILLIANT!!!! It's so full of feelings...brakes my soul everytime I hear him singing this tune.

Mark Knopfler is a genius. Whatever the piece of music, he sets the mood, extends it through the piece and finishes the thought at the end. There is never a misstep. You feel the despair and regret in this. So beautiful and thoughtfully done.

This song is a living breathing entity of its own. It completely speaks for so many of us who no longer even have the strength to try. When I listen to this song.........it breaths for me.

observing the comments on this wonderful song I am reminded that as a Species, humanity is indeed one Spirit. Anyone that cannot feel such music is not human. Yet and still..., how can we be so divided and opposed to one another. This is a great mystery.

Beautiful playing at the end and an outstanding song

A stunningly beautiful song !

As always, beautiful to the core.

Thank you for touching heart and soul with this song with haunting words and melody 💖❣️💖

A lot of people think this song was written by Knopfler, but it’s not. It was, in fact, written by Charlie Rich, who recorded “The most beautyfull girl in the world”. But I’m not sure if he wrote that one.

I often been told home is where the heart is but what if your heart is broken your sight is sore and your mind dazzled by the decit and pride that roams the land? Well if that's the case turn to a song and see your not the only one Whew Mark this just pulls the heart strings of a lost home Eden in ruin 🌈🌅🌈😢😢😢

From 2.50 on, it is just emotions running amuck. Even though I am a fairly happy person with not much of a baggage, the outro by Mark just tore me apart, and had me in tears for no reason. That is the power of music. Mark is the greatest singer songwriter and not to mention guitarist in the whole wide world.
