the first time I heard the song I immediately heard the melodic line from "The letter" in the chorus, but TOTT wasn't evident to me
and ALL people I know that are not die hard fans like us, tell ALL the same thing : "hey it's clearly soundind Dire Straits !"
so we try to find similarities,we make comparaisons with other songs, we analyse the guitar tone, we decortic Mark's voice, we study the melody, the chords, etc.....
BUT from a lamba point of view : that song "sounds" like Dire Straits. And it's not me who is saying this, it's just many people that listen to many many kind of other musics, and have a "global" vision of DS and MK. And these same people didn't say this when the heard, let's say, Get lucky at taratata tv show for example.
So yes, we dire hard fans can say, no it doesn't soudn like DS, etc... but honestly, dont you think that it's a little bit closer to what people think of "DS sound" than other slow folk songs he made in the past ? And I confirm that Iove these songs too, that's not the debate.
