David Knopfler's "Tears Fall" intro similar to Mark's "Behind with the rent."
« on: May 22, 2013, 12:52:18 AM »
Sorry for posting a new thread about this. I've been thinking about this for some time. Can you hear the similarities?



AND



The studio version, available on Spotify, is even closer.

What's your thoughts?

Never noticed...

But try "Southside tenements" studio intro, played by Chris White on sax, and tell me what reminds you...

Link please. On YouTube I cannot find any sax intro to that song and feel not reminded to Why Worry the slightest. So maybe I have the wrong track at hand. If you talk about this one:

 

I would like to know some exact minute/second where I can hear something so great as Why Worry....  :hmm

Try about 21sec into the song until the lyrics start.  I think it sounds a bit like Why Bother too.

I didn't hear the similarity.  " behind with the rent" is one of my favorites.  I actually quite very fond of DK.  Some of his songs are very nice.  "Tears Fall" is beautiful.   :)  Thanks for the link.

There is a certain similarity between the initiatal piano notes of Tears Fall and Behind with the rent, but you have to really think in both songs at the same time to notice it. Actually Tears Fall is one of my DK favourites songs and I know that one from long ago, and never noticed the similarity until now. But its a very far similarity.

When I first heard this one.  I thought Darn, DK sounds almost like Mark.  Wild West End.  I really enjoyed watching it.

Since we are on the topic of DK, here's a new (at least for me) song of his and a very interesting interview that follows. Watch for the "Mark is a triple Leo" comment.

Could you explain me what a 'triple Leo' is?

I've not seen the video yet, but I assume he's referring to MK's star sign (astrology).  A leo is supposed to be bossy and commanding (I should know because I am a leo too ;D).  That's not me! :think
