Highwaymen Rocks in this version

[koobaa]

YES!
Mark will be a perfect contribution to this amazing track. One of my favorite classics. Always when I was listening to this track I was seeing MK playing his tradeMARK licks there and here it is! Can't wait to hear it.

[Kay Edvin]

I really like that song! Can`t wait to hear it!

Thanks for the info!

[Kay Edvin]

I LOVE IT!!

[Dutchessy]

Beautiful!!

[dustyvalentino]

Nice, although I think the key is a little high for MK.

Thanks for the link! Very nice version, although I agree that the key is just too high for MK. His voice works best when sung in low keys. I'm missing his classic guitar licks here too. Nevertheless, brilliant.

[Love Expresso]

I'll fly a starship
Across the universe divide
Until I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again
and again, and again, and again.

 
These are the lyrics of course of the last verse of the song, but Mark changes "highwayman" with "songwriter" which I think is quite sweet!

man, my exact feeling!!

I could not agree more... Unless its just a preference to some of you like Mark in a lower key!?

I think Mark's voice is absolutely brilliant on this track and it's certainly not out of his range .

Mark's voice has blown me away so much over the last few years, it's a style I feel that Mark could not do with Dire Straits! It would not have sounded right back in the day.
