I guess it was inevitable that after last Saturday, with Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb” incredibly accompanied by David Gilmour’s guitar expertise, I would move forward just a few years to 1982.
Dire Straits released their “Love over Gold” album, and one of the highlights of that album was “Telegraph Road”. Again, like “Comfortably Numb”, the story-line of the song was a little unusual and (like “Comfortably Numb”) there is some very dominant guitar work … this time by Mark Knopfler. For piano lovers, there is some lovely melody sharing with the guitar.
Much as I enjoy the complete performance, I am tempted to say that things do noticeably take off around 9:30 … but there so many wonderful parts to this song! Enjoy!
A New Direction Perhaps? 
An interesting song. I enjoyed the music and the lyrics took me back to when times were simpler. Before technology got so advanced!

Sadly that perspective will get stronger as you get older. I can still recall my Grandmother saying how she doesn’t understand people today (early 1960s); she never grasped the reality of TV, as she waved to the people on the screen (they were obviously waving at her!). She also longed for simpler times. I can recall my Mom shaking her head in despair at the way the world was “going” (late 1980s). She never understood computers, and longed for simpler times … and here I am wondering what is happening to society re the addiction to texting, and the election of Trump! 🙂

Yes, sadly I agree with you. Oh but I do have to smile about your Grandmother, that brings back another memory too! 🙂
Just listening to the song made me think of “Little House on the Prairie” days and yes the simpler times. If only common sense would progress as much and fast as technology does, we wouldn’t have as many problems!!

Yes me too Kate! I love Mark Knopflers guitar contributions, and his later music scores for movies.
