I love the fade-in.

Simply FANTASTIC!!! Imposible to listen to it only once. Mark is a genious.

Shame about the Austin Allegro

Я уж думал, что все слышал у даэр стрейтс...

shit bridge

Not away but here I wish.

My fave DS song from my fave DS album. Loved the LOG album & saw DS on their LOG tour in Australia. & then it all became sounding too commercial. This was MK at his creative best - both in music & lyrics. Love the extended end to the song... the haunting guitar is magic

what is the taxi driver saying ?

Fantastic song on a very good album !!!

Aleluya

music is this, fckin awesome...

2:49 is that Sylvester Stallone?

Ancora splendida come 30 anni e più fa !!!!!

2019?

Is it just me, or is 'Skateaway', 'Private Investigations' and 'On Every Street' linked by one long story about a girl going missing...

Cool Video from 1980

Brillante!

Best, most beautiful music ever. Makes my day! Thumbs up Who thinks the same.

My fave track from the genius of Making Movies x

To James my lovely son who loves this. Miss you playing your guitar in that little room. Never knew how much until you came back home and then you were gone again.

I'll not forget seeing the great Dire Straits live at Olympic ark Melbourne around 1985/6 bros in arms tour ,the echo ,sound of the band were unreal .Loud but incredibly tight ,brilliant.That with Deep Purple reforming mark 2,would have to be my highlights still , legendary bands.Chris Kalikas.

Timeless :-)

Naff vid but good track lol

I seen a girl on a one way corridorStealing down a wrong way streetFor all the world like an urban toreadorShe had wheels on on her feetWell the cars do the usual dancesSame old cruise and the kerbside crawlBut the roller girl she's taking chancesThey just love to see her take them allNo fears alone at night she's sailing through the crowdIn her ears the phones are tight and the music's playing loudHallelujah here she comes queen roller ballEnchante what can I say don't care at allYou know she used to have to wait aroundShe used to be the lonely oneBut now that she can skate around townShe's the only oneNo fears alone at night she's sailing through the crowdIn her ears the phones are tight and the music's playing loudShe gets rock n roll a rock n roll stationAnd a rock n roll dreamShe's making movies on locationShe don't know what it meansBut the music make her want to be the storyAnd the story was whatever was the song what it wasRoller girl don't worryD.j. play the movies all night longShe tortures taxi drivers just for funShe like to read their lipsSays toro toro taxi see ya tomorrow my sonI swear she let a big truck grease her hipShe got her own world in the cityYou can't intrude on herShe got her own world in the city'cause the city's benn so rude to herNo fears alone at night she's sailing through the crowdIn her ears the phones are tight and the music's playing loudShe gets rock n roll a rock n roll stationAnd a rock n roll dreamShe's making movies on locationShe don't know what it meansBut the music make her want to be the storyAnd the story was whatever was the song what it wasRoller girl don't worryD.j. play the movies all night longCome slipping and slidingLife's roller ballSlipping and a slidingSkate away that's allShala shalay hey hey skate awayShe's going singing shala shalay hey heySkate away

Dal lontano 1980 all'età di 7 anni ascolto i dire straits é Mark Knopfler grazie a mio fratello maggiore .il mio gruppo preferito in assoluto li adoro

Nervous on stage ---> 4:15

if i just could skate away for a week or two...with my mrs...

This was before roler blades .mark has the sexiest voice ever

Gostei 👏

Back in a time when my body *and* mind knew what roller skating was... these days it's just my mind.(No broken hips to report... but hell, no harm in giving it a go... aye? Christ, life is short and death so long).:)

What a nice piece of popmusic this is...one of the greatests.

Loved it then, love it now. I can't believe music was ever this good, and the girl - WOW!

Perfeito!

Too be honest i dont really like Brothers in arms .i thought it was depressing &boring. But i liked everything eles by them.

Ciao Dire...mancate da morire

These . Sorry.

Mcfly are crap compared to them. So were tears for fears. But i dont care what other pop fans think i still liked thise bands aswell as Dire straits.

89 👎 you miserable sods. You dont understand good music.

hay

Knopfler is Dickens with a guitar, A true craftsman... nobody writes a tune or plays a lick like marky baby..

I much preferred them before Brothers In Arms. Making Movies was my favourite album by them. Poor video but great song.

Rest Easy Jay

oh yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

80s coldplay

Definitely prefer the early Dire Straits sound.

When that beat starts for the song Skateaway when they are in concert, it's just so great.

STILL AS GREAT AS WHEN I WENT TO SEE THEM IN CONCERT IN AUSTRALIA IN THE EARLY 90'S.

Guitar parts are wonderful here especially the "rhythm" one.

Essa música é fodaaaaaa!!!!!

I hate this

Great group, great songs!!!

Hey Dawn

the tracks making movies by gosh!

I was working in the N.E of England when this came out, boy those Geordie's love these guys.So proud they were.Tunnel of love and this track i loved.

country rock jazz fusion magic

sempre più grandi .Questa musica mette voglia di vivere. Per chi la vissuta quando è uscita mette rimpianti di tempi che sono passati e non torneranno più. Ma questo gruppo fa parte della madre musica. E pensare che una sera in un locale mentre bevevo una bottiglia di champagne in compagnia li avevo a 2 metri e non li ho riconosciuti.

Great Dire Straits song, one of my favourites; but what a terrible video, so lacking in atmosphere appropriate for the music. Garish, candy-coloured, verging on slapstick imagery, when I imagine a more London-themed nighttime-noir setting.

siete immortali. grandi. E pensare che un giorno do 25 anni fa circa beveva una birra in inghilterra avevo vicino 2 di loro .Non sono uno che do importanza ai personaggi in giro. Ma una stretta di mano l avrei chiesta .grandi dire straits.

Making movies on cassette in my car ....great memories CW

Agree totally!!

Woman in the video is Jayzik Azikiwe.

yeah

Puta música foda, só 2 mil likes? pqp Se fosse nicki minaj, justin merda tava com uns 300000000000 mil likes -_-

Pick withers makes all the difference... Such great timing and feel.

I fucking love this song

Brilliant time capsule.

R.I.P Jayzik (Jay) Azikiwe, the roller girl ,1958-2008. It looks like the song was written for her....

Loved the roller girl. Nothing like the wanna-be-whores we have nowadays on videoclips. Excellent skills and excellent song.

nulle la vidéo

Beautiful Jay Carley, R.I.P.

tudo o que essa banda toca vira ouro
