Mark Knopfler has released a new single, Watch Me Gone. It's the follow-up to Ahead Of The Game, which was released last month, and once again finds the former Dire Straits man in reflective mood.
"The dreams of a teenage kid... to me it's always been the fuel that keeps you going," muses Knopfler. "That's why I'll still cross the street to look at a window of guitars - it's just that bit of your teen years that it reminds you of, so you try to keep it alive. I remember going to City Hall seeing Van Morrison or Bob Dylan, wishing I was doing that. Statistically what are the odds of making it as an act? But I was a comically driven young person, who was determined to make it."
