I don't want to be with him again, but I miss the way it used to be. Such a beautiful song so perfect for anyone in or out of love. It can make you cry with joy and sadness. So perfect. My favorite song | Reviewer: Chuck Wolny ------ About the song Telegraph Road performed by Dire Straits This is in my opinion is the best rock song ever. It is like a rock symphony the guitar, the key boards, the lyrics, the percussion, it is a masterpiece! The Michelangelo did it in the "Pieta". Church's "Niagra Falls" does it in a painting awesome totally awesome. I have been listening to rock for 45 years nothing moves me like this song. Amazing Tune | Reviewer: Ash ------ About the song Going Home performed by Dire Straits This song has so many meanings to me, once upon a time it kept me going when i was over 300 miles away from my home (Newcastle), now this song sends shivers down my spine as it was played at the end of Sir Bobby Robson's Memorial service and that man was a great Local Hero for so many reasons, R.I.P Sir Bobby. A Side Note... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Money For Nothing performed by Dire Straits It should be noted that the terms used in this song derive from what Knopfler heard. He wrote this song from the perspective of a man working in a hardware store that he heard say these things while he was in the store in "real" life, and felt it would be "more real" to grab a paper and write what he heard said at the time. one of the magical songs of my life | Reviewer: cindi burkey ------ About the song Planet Of New Orleans performed by Dire Straits discovered in dallas at kera 90.1 which used to be housed in a wooden shack-type structure and we would play an album side and go up on the roof at 3am and look up at the transmitter tower and bask in the orange streetlights and the 90 degree humidity. those were beautiful nights. For my Love, my Romeo... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Romeo and Juliet performed by Dire Straits "Brings back many a memories for me and my Romeo, which I know still tear's me up to this day and greatly love with all my heart as I will carry for a lifetime....no man can ever take that way or the history we have shared together, nobody can take that from us or change that!" ..I will love him 'til the day that I die... For the girl on the beach | Reviewer: Huseyin ------ About the song Romeo and Juliet performed by Dire Straits Although I always thought I could never be in love, I listen to this song and remember the girl I've fallen in love on the beach 2 weeks ago. What a moment that was. 5 star song... Actually a million star song... The True Meaning | Reviewer: Gleb S. ------ About the song Brothers In Arms performed by Dire Straits People, you are trying to find the meaning of these lyrics, but as gabriele pointed out, and I fully agree with her, this is poetry and it applies to each one of us in a whole different way. And that is the beauty of it. We listen to the same song, but love it in a different way. To me that is something very special. Also when I listen to it, i feel like we are a bunch of fools that live trapped together on one planet, everyone has different interests. We all care so much about our little problems. While hey, this is one small planet earth, there might be so much out there. We are just one tiny place in the universe. It might sound childish, but as I write this I remember an episode of South Park, where planet earth is introduced as an intergalactic reality-tv show. Where people of different races are put together on one planet and the aliens watch us fight for entertainment. It really makes me think about what the hell are we doing? The word 'Faggot' | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Money For Nothing performed by Dire Straits I don't think it ruins the song..You've got to understand that 'faggot' doesn't ALWAYS mean 'gay or homosexual'. A 'faggot' can just be an A-hole. If your friend is hogging all the nachos, you can say "Hey man stop being a faggot." It doesn't mean he's gay... he's just a faggot. It's elementary! BROTHERS IN ARMS | Reviewer: Jed ------ About the song Brothers In Arms performed by Dire Straits I d like to add the correct information about the song.. This song was written at 70s but it was NOT released until 1985.. There are two versions of it technicaly, and the last version is shorter.. This refers to an event which MK has faced..But he is not happy to tell it anywhere... He used ery special guitar to play this one.. Pensa Suhr MK1 ... It is known as Stradivarius of the Guitars... Very special made by maple.. This information is somehow-something "hidden"... kel | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Romeo and Juliet performed by Dire Straits Wow...my first real boyfried played this for me when I was 15 and he was 17. We were so in love and the line 'when you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong' is so true. Beautiful song. bah | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Money For Nothing performed by Dire Straits Great song ruined by the word 'faggot'. C'mon, that's just not cool. It's not cool today, it wasn't cool in the eighties (and it's somewhat ironic an 80's music group are dissing 'faggots', given 80s fashion) Old memories | Reviewer: bob ------ About the song Romeo and Juliet performed by Dire Straits "Juliet, when we made love you used to cry." Oh, god, do you remember the first time you made love, and it was so beautiful you wanted to cry? And maybe you did. I had totally forgotten that moment until I heard that line. What a line. What a song. trivia on this song | Reviewer: nkc ------ About the song Romeo and Juliet performed by Dire Straits FYI - the lyric "There's a place for us, you know the movie song" is a reference to a song title / lyric from West Side Story, which of course, is a re-imagining of the Romeo and Juliet story. Very genius reference by Knopfler. I also like the last lyric which implies that Romeo may have several 'Juliet's - maybe he isn't the hero the song makes him seem to be.... the meaning | Reviewer: cameron ------ About the song Brothers In Arms performed by Dire Straits this song is about the brave men who left everything they had and loved to fight for thier country. All they had was a rifle and the men next to them. Those men being thier "brothers in arms". They didn't have thier mums, wives or god, just a rifle and brothers in arms. Brothers In Arms | Reviewer: Celt ------ About the song Brothers In Arms performed by Dire Straits It is.. heh "simply" a song about revolution and the sad destruction of live's revolution and war entails. Some hope is amended to the fact that, us humans, to date, still manage to finish our mutual destruction and maintain some bonds of "humanity" or brotherhood, if you prefer. I care not what war or "revolution" it was initially written for, it applies to all. We do what we feel we must do, all of us. Not just auto jobs... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Telegraph Road performed by Dire Straits "Michigan is in an economic depression now because of the automotive industry among other things and the verses about unemployment describe this perfectly, even though Dire Straits wrote this years before. hmm..." That's because he's singing about the race riots. Anyone who had the means left. my opinion | Reviewer: gabryiaxx@hotmail.it ------ About the song Brothers In Arms performed by Dire Straits I can only guess what this song's about, but i don't mind it; my thought is... sometimes the result trascend the aim... so the lines, "...and we have just one world, but we live in different ones", are of the highest poetry. Surely M.K. intended to say a particular thing with that,but they for me can mean another whole thing... and that's not misunderstanding, that's the poetry. my opinion | Reviewer: gabriele ------ About the song Brothers In Arms performed by Dire Straits I can only guess what this song's about, but i don't mind it; my thought is... sometimes the result trascend the aim... so the lines, "...and we have just one world, but we live in different ones", are of the highest poetry.

Telegraph Road | Reviewer: Fred Herrmann ------ About the song Telegraph Road performed by Dire Straits I have sooo much love for this song. It's melodic invention, especially the piano solo speaks to me in such a way that very few songs have ever. It just captures a certain essence devoid platitudes and frivoulous nonchalance. Its a song that allows one to discover love in even the darkest of spaces!!!
