The Straits of Music

I remember buying Sultans of Swings for that one song, Walk of Life. I heard the entire casette once and didn't bother much with it. After a few days, I searched for the casette and heard it again. Dire Straits kind of grew on me. At that time, I was still a lot into garbage, trashy music what few people choose to call remixes, pop etcetera. Slowly Dire Straits started making its way into my walkman more often until one fine day I realised this is what Music is to me. Dire Straits with their guitar strings, smooth rock, jazz and celtic hues never fail to soothe my soul and awaken my wonderment. Mark Knopfler is an amazing lyricist. He just gets better and better with each solo album. Golden Heart, Sailing to Philadelphia and Shangri-La... Haven't heard all of em' but I guess each must be just as amazing!!

Last night I heard the title track of Sailing to Philadelphia and I am absolutely in love with it!!! I have heard it over 25 times and each time I hear it, it never fails to marvel me with its absolute simplicity and soothing vocals. I think am going to buy the album if I find it here. If not buy, atleast download the entire album from Ares. Difficult! but I can't resist the temptation.
