This is a calm, laid back ballad but contains the sense of the excitement one gets on the deck of ship heading to new places. Nice complementarity between the co-vocalists. |

Never particularly been a Knopfler fan but this track pleases me in inexplicable ways. Perhaps it's JT's sweet tone juxtaposed with MK's Geordie burr. Somehow it all works.

Pavarotti could sing the MK part and the song would be far worse. Technical ability is such a small part of an emotional connection. |

About as thrilling as James Taylor. (But don't get me wrong, MK has done some great stuff.) |

Why should a song be "challenging"? He's telling a story, not trying to give the listener grief. If "challenging" were a good thing in music then Stockhausen would be top of the pops.
Good riposte! |

I love it when lyrics are used for a different theme than just plain old love songs. That, combined with the nice laid back feel of this song makes me vote for excellent! |

Such a "sweet" method of story telling. Music has always been a media for
history and M.K. does it as well as anyone.

He did an encore when he played here. 4 songs, one of which I think was Telegraph Road. I was happy!
