Mark Knopfler is a masterful songwriter who manages to evoke feelings of nostalgia. He is renowned throughout the world as the lead singer and guitarist with Rock band Dire Straits, alongside his acclaim as a solo musician/songwriter in his own right. He’s also known as a “Geordie Lad”…a name for person from Newcastle -on -Tyne in the north east corner of England…but he’s a Scottish Geordie because he was actually born in Glasgow, on the banks of the river Clyde. The Clyde is one of the most famous rivers in the world and became synonymous with shipbuilding, when in the 19th and 20th century some of the greatest ocean liners were built in her yards. Sadly that heyday is long past and the glory days of shipbuilding on the Clyde is much reduced in numbers today. This song was written by Mark Knopfler about the ships that travelled to all parts of the world after being launched from the Clyde and how most of them ended their lives in some breaker’s yard on the other side of the world - So Far From The Clyde.
