What Song Makes You Happy
« on: November 28, 2021, 12:07:40 PM »
Which song of Mark's can you just listen to and it makes you happy and smile ;D For me it's What Have I Got To Do, I am listening to it now, and it's just pure joy to me, I love it.

Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

I'll have to go along with that;  I love calling out the 2nd "El Macho" at the end of the stanza!  :lol

What have I got to do and Darling pretty: +1

Postcards also for me

Saying that, MK is really great in making slow and thoughtful songs, not really happy ones

Once Upon a Time In the West - Alchemy. That groove is infectious, much due to John (and Terry of course). John's style might be rather simple, but it worked so well in Dire Straits.

Two amongst others, I'd say Beachcombing and My claim to fame.

But I also agree with Darling Pretty the poster ;D , I wouldn't say that MK is really good in making happy songs. I'd have more songs for a "which MK songs make you feel depressed?" topic lol and my number one choice would probably be : Dream of the drowned submariner. ;D ;D

But even those depressing songs can be absolutely beautiful.
