Before Gas and TV Lyrics

Cover art for Before Gas and TV lyrics by Mark Knopfler

My wife and I live in rural Canada. A few years back we had a severe ice storm and the power was off for 5 days. We had to keep the fireplace going to warm the house. We played music, read and talked. It definitely was a throw back in time.... no phones, television etc. It was really thought provoking in terms of questioning how many of the technological advantages we depend on really make our life better. I think, as usual, Mark puts beautiful a melody over lyrics that can create imagery and make you think, great song.
