Everything you'd want from a summer tune!

Over here in the UK, we’ve just had what was supposed to be the hottest day of the year so far. We were lucky enough to get positively drenched in sun, heat and the kind of light, comforting breeze that keeps even the most British of folks from complaining about the rare, unusual warmth.

And there’s always one song that I want to listen to when the weather’s come out so impressively like it did yesterday. Sure, I’ve got summer playlists like the next guy, but this is one song that’s always on the line-up without fail. Dire Straits’ classic ‘Sultans of Swing’ has got everything you’d want from a summer tune; warm, vibrant lead tones à la guitar legend Mark Knopfler, feel-good and relevant lyrics and an upbeat tempo that lends a hearty atmosphere to the track. It’s so easy to get lost in Knopfler’s worldof “downsouth London town” and its vivacious music scene.
“You feel alright when you hear thatmusic ring”

See you next week!

P.S. For the DireStraits fans and anyone who particularly enjoyed the studio version of ‘Sultans of Swing’, here’s a liveversion; demonstrating the band’s tendency towards extended versions of theirtracks in live scenarios. Have a good 10 minutes.
