浅吟低唱的Mark Knopfler
Mark Knopfler是Dire Straits（恐怖海峡）的主唱，乐队的作品听上去是特别的，即使到现在，像这样布鲁斯、山地音乐、蓝草音乐和老式摇摆混合的音乐，玩的人也不是太多，音乐的悠然从容，以及那一份醉人的神秘感，没经历过人情世故的人是做不出来的。在那个邦.乔维和枪花就代表着反叛和摇滚的年代，Dire Straits呈现出历经风霜后的沧桑与老成。乐队灵魂人物Mark Knopfler的吉他，在慢奏中更能品其妙处，有时甚至只是轻轻一拨，一个乐音，就营造出一种冷然情绪，不是诡异的冷，而是深邃的冷。所有作品的歌词，表面上看多是叙事，却都和人内心的情感有关，一褒一贬，一笑一怒，一愁一喜，都不露于颜面之上，也难怪，他本来就是当老师的，虽然不是教语文，学问还是很有一点的。
事实上推荐的这首单曲，是他单飞后的专辑THE RAGPICKER'S DREAM（穷人的梦）中的歌，名叫A Place Where We Used To Live，之所以对它情有独钟，源于它能让大家认识Mark Knopfler，但并不是说这个就最经典，他单飞之前乐队的专辑也是首首经典，其实对于一个真正喜欢他的人，每一首歌都是经典。如果有人要问Dire Straits乐队和Mark Knopfler个人的作品之间究竟有何区别，可能谁也说不出个所以然来，只是觉得Mark Knopfler就是Dire Straits，两者的唱片没有任何值得一提的差别，唯一的不同便是Mark Knopfler创作并演唱的歌曲由两班不同的人马照着他的意思为他伴奏而已。
冷得清淡而不凄楚，冷得高远而不刺骨，是Mark Knopfler的本色，
This empty kitchen's where
I'd while away the hours
Just next to my old chair
You'd usually have some flowers
The shelves of books
Even the picture hooks
Everything is gone
But my heart is hanging on
If this old neighbourhood
Survived us both alright
Don't know that it withstood
All the things that took our light
You on the stair
I can see you there
Everything is gone
But my heart is hanging on
Once there was a little girl
Used to wonder what she would be
Went out into the big wide world
Now she's just a memory
There used to be a little school here
Where I learned to write my name
But time has been a little cruel here
Time has no shame
It's just a place where
We used to live
It's just a place where
We used to live
Now in another town
You lead another life
And now upstairs and down
You're someone else's wife
Here in the dust
There's not a trace of us
Everything is gone
But my heart is hanging on
It's just a place where
We used to live
It's just a place where
We used to live

慢慢品味此中风情。
我收藏了他们六张专辑，能在祖国大陆收集到他们的唱片真是不容易啊！这六张唱片前后花了我9年时间，每一张都奉为至宝。
最喜欢他们的主音歌手马克诺夫勒闲庭信步般低声吟唱，尤其是在夜深人静时，那中感觉真是如醉如痴，飘飘欲仙，特别是那首your latest trick，那吉他，那萨克斯，在加上老马的天籁之音，真是此曲只应天上有啊！
曾经奢望他们能来上海开演唱会，但渐渐的，奢望变成了绝望，绝对解散了，老马单飞了，后面出的个人作品也无法与他和乐队合作时的相提并论，真是伤心啊，如今闲来也只能从他们的唱片中找感觉了。
