John Payne has remembered how “Southbound Again” and other Dire Straits songs have influenced his life as a child. It’s always nice to read or hear how these classic songs have a deep role in someone’s life. Read his comment below.
“I remember that I’ve been introduced to this track and album when I was 12-years-old. I used to listen on a tape in a car. It still plays a big part in my life 40 years on and I have performed ‘Water of Love’ and ‘Six Blade Knife’ but with a more blues approach and a smokey atmosphere. It’s been such a massive influence.”
“Six Blade Knife” is just another classic by Dire Straits. Abhishek Jha wrote a very good comment for the connection that has with this song.
“Exceptionally written and a great song. The crackling of the guitar at frequent intervals makes the overall song haunting and permanently etched in your mind. I play this song every time I walk into an electronic store to test a music system. And all I can see is a sudden interest in everyone inside the store to figure out the song.”
For Vilnei André Bottari the song “In The Gallery” is one of his favorites. From there, everything started for him and still continues. He wrote: “For me, it all started in 1978. There go 43-years of music with quality and responsibility. Long live Mark Knopfler!”
