Walk of Life (Dire Straits song) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Walk of Life (Dire Straits song)
"Walk of Life" is a song by the British rock band Dire Straits. It appeared on their best-selling album ''Brothers in Arms''. It subsequently appeared on their live album ''On the Night''. It was released as a single in November 1985 but had first been available as the B-side of "So Far Away" released in advance of ''Brothers in Arms''. The track peaked at number seven in the US charts and was their biggest commercial hit in the UK, peaking at number two. The track also appeared on three compilation albums: 1988's ''Money for Nothing'', 1998's ''Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits'', and 2005's ''The Best of Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler: Private Investigations''. ==History== The song was nearly excluded from the album when the co-producer Neil Dorfsman voted against its inclusion, but the rest of the band out-voted him. A simple rock and roll rhythm is used, with chord changes limited to I, IV and V chords. The long introduction has become iconic in some circles, with an instantly recognisable melody played on a synthesiser organ patch, giving it a slight Cajun twist. The singer mentioned in the lyrics is said to perform "down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay", a reference to busking in the subway. The songs he plays are oldies, including "I Got a Woman", "Be-Bop-A-Lula", "What'd I Say", "My Sweet Lovin' Woman", and "Mack the Knife". He also plays talking blues.
