Knopfler doesn't write love songs, he tells stories. I'm stealing a quote from someone else's post on Romeo and Juliet (a song written by Knopfer and performed by his band, Dire Straits). Here it goes: remember that Mark Knopfler never really wrote songs to convey emotions but he was more of a story teller. And while most of his songs carry a lot of emotion, you need to look into the lyrics to understand the song.
"This is all the heaven we got, right here where we are in our Shangri-La." They are not in Paradise, its just a great one night stand. But don't let that stop you from loving the song, its really great.
noooooo, tpf. aye! check out where he was in life at the time he wrote Romeo and Juliet. remember: MK's an intensely private man. he likely wouldn't say it was a love song---he'll give facts about it. re-examine Romeo and Juliet. check out his first marriage to a girl named . . . Cindy, is it? check out that period in his life when he was calling his brother's or friend's flat 'home.' dude.
