Mark Knopfler's In The Sky song is a Masterpiece

It's been a while I never heard such a beautiful song with serene melody and lyrics that are so poetics in recent days. Maybe I was busy with works and other activities rather than spending some time listening to good music.

However recently, I get the opportunity listening to a song form Mark Knopfler's 2007 first solo album, Kill To Get Crimson. You can read all the review about the album on the internet and in my opinion, all musics produced by Mark Knopfler are esthetically great.

The song that I meant in the album is entitled 'In The Sky'. Listening to its melodious melody, unwinding and relaxing style of singing apparently made me want to observe more what the song is all about and go deep upon what is being expressed in the lyrics. It's amazing when I can easily relate the lyrics with imagination and depict different chronicles of ocean and fishermen family-related-story repeatedly.

Those days, especially during the college days, I think many of us did memorize few of our favourite songs. But at that time, most of us were merely driven by the seasonal music genre that usually made popular among generations at a time. If today, the adolescent are so fixated with Justin Beaver and so it types of music, those days, we were so proud of our guitar heroes. Until our lifestyles had been very much influenced by the Rock n' Roll bands and their musics.

For now, since time has changed, how about if we take a glimpse and listen to 'In The Sky';

Lyrics Mark Knopfler lyrics - In The Sky lyrics

Are you home from the sea, my soul balladeer
You’ve been away roaming far away from here
weathered a storm, your heart unafraid
crossed every ocean in the boat that you made

Been blowing your horn, scaring the spooks
No crotchets or quavers in your books
Gone sailing all night, straight in the vein
like a bird on his own flight in his domain

In the sky
In the sky

Running in on the tide with the first of the stars
the moon on the water and the sound of guitars
Glide into the homing as the night falls
to tie up in the haven by the old harbour wall

And the hard-bitten stranger as deaf as a post
who stands at the fire where a poet’s dreams roast
He can’t know the story, he can’t feel the pain
and all of the glory falls around him like rain

In the sky
In the sky

You’re a light in the dark, a beacon of hope
and strong as a sea boat, strong as a rope
And the vagabond wind, whispers over the bay
and the songs and the laughter, are carried away

In the sky
In the sky
In the sky
In the sky
