Cant listen to them from where I am, are any different to the ones we already know?

[Guitarman1972]

Yes, Go Love, Hot or What and Seattle from the beginning.

[Love Expresso]

Yes, very cool, Hot or What reminds very much of "You Can't Beat The House".

And the SOUND of all of them is really great!

Hot or what very similar to Millionaire Blues

Listened to the new teasers via the email from markknopfler.com, and Go Love and Seattle sound fantastic. My only gripe is that I wish he'd played a silky-smooth Stratocaster on Go Love instead of the honky Les Paul.

Go, Love seems a very average, boring song to me.  I must say, from what I've heard, that I do like Hot or What and Seattle.

[Dutchessy]

I like go, love the most of these new samples.

[Love Expresso]

Go, Love is, for me, one of the best songs MK has done in years...   EVERYTHING is great, the intro, the very first notes, the keys, the organ, the guitar, the voice, the lyrics, the melody.... ....  

Funny how different is musical taste!

Jup, it's a nice song. Now I have made my own Go, love. At the moment I collected (well, actually cut and paste) snippets and made a 'song' out of it. Got the first 2:15!!! Can't wait for the rest.

Unfortunately someone drove into my car (well, not even mine actually) lately, got to have it fixed first so probably have to wait for a copy of the album after September 24th......

I like the song, too, but am not sure about the lyrics. It seems to me, as if he comes and goes like he wants to, and she is "leaning against his collar" and waits and waits.... hmm, if my husband would come only to leave again...well, I`m not sure if I like that (and that`s understated) ;-) ...

[Guitarman1972]

That is great localhero1986! Now you only have 2:37 to get for the whole song. 

[El Macho]

Go Love 's got a very nice intro! It'll be one of my favorites!
Seattle's intro is nice too!

[ingridswing]

@localhero we will solve that problem next week, you will hear it anyway. Send me PM to work it out

"Kiss me once and I'll be gone..." is a line from one of my all time favourite MK songs, The Long Highway, and I think it is also about restlessness and loyalty... I had problems first with the sentence itself, "Go, Love, if you're going".... but then I think I solved the "illogic" in it by reading the whole line,
"Go, Love, if you're going, I'll be here when you come back".

Do you think that's right?

About the collar: Very athmosperic, I really see a harbour and the weather is bad, rain or wind, and it is still dark (early in the morning), well, the music sounds this way, and he is maybe a soldier or sailor (or both), and they are about to bid farewell. So she leans into his collar a last time before he goes aboard ship....
