One Deep River / The Boy / Re: The Boy EP (02) The boy

Did someone already listen to the Dolby Atmos mix?
To me there is a huge difference. The whole stage broadens up and there is a huge deep bassdrum sound which is barely audible in the normal mix.

In fact all songs sound much more different in Dolby Atmos. Unfortunately I didn't find the time yet to compare them A:B.

Haven't listened to the Atmos mix of the EP but having got the Atmos bluray of ODR there will be a huge difference in sound!

.... Somebody obviously have a bad day!! What's the deal such bullshi*t personal attack?! I wrote a HEART after my sentence. I wish you a good day in the sunshine ! 

No bad day - in fact far from it! Wasn't a personal 'bullshit' attack - as you put it??. I was just purely putting another side to your statement as I totally understand MKs curiosities with boxing.

The adlib on the outro reminds me of MK when he adds a few riffs of other musicians during TOL played live.
Also shows that the Beatles used the same 🎸🎶 tuning on Norwegian Wood as NY used on Cinnamon Girl - drop D. And I can't play 🎸 to save myself.

Must have been a horrible waste of time for that poor journalist.

By the way, I just realized that if you assume that the second verse is a different character talking, the whole thing could make more sense ... Still in  mode, though.

I realise I wasn't very clear on that point.
The first part is clearly Mr. Strong Man talking, in the second it could be a general use of "you" in the sense of "one", so it would be gradually dawning on him that he would also be annihilated in the end. Or it's someone else talking to him, as a word of warning. That makes more sense, I believe.

In any case, I'm sure that all those images (the palace, the golden chair) were chosen on purpose and that, together, they all point to one specific target. I wish we knew when the song was written, then we would also know who the "pawn" was that he has "sacrificed":

Oh, by the way, does anyone know whether Mark plans to reunite Dire Straits?

I heard he is set to accept guest appearance on vibraphone with Dire Straits Experience or Dire Straits Legacy 

Yes, it's because he needs the money so badly. After the pawnbroker refused to take his last remaining platinum disc ("I will not buy this record. It is scratched."), he's realised that he is in dire straits after all.
