The song “Sailing to Philadelphia” is the second song from the second solo studio album by Mark Knopfler. First time released by Mark Knopfler in 2000, this song has a special meaning for Tony Brigg (our follower and reader).
“Always loved this song. Keeps in mind three cousins (twice removed) who sailed to Philadelphia (actually New York) but two settled in Philly Pa in 1904,” he wrote.
Mark Talbot had also commented on the same song. He wrote: “Great song, the story behind it is awesome”.
Our dear friend from Porto, Portugal, as well as a musician and guitarist Pedro Amorim, wrote an interesting comment. He has written a comment about the song “Sultans of Swing” and also praised Mark Knopfler. “Mark Knopfler really sings with the guitar, and tells us stories with the voice,” he wrote.
