Dire straits album lyrics romeo and juliet official

So, I based my album piano arrangement around these parts: the intro, chord changes and outro that IвЂ™d dreamed up way back and which feature on the On the NightВ live album.

Listen to Romeo and Juliet by Alan Clark below. With Romeo and Juliet, one of the pieces on the album, I had a head start with the arrangement becauseВ over the yearsВ IвЂ™dВ played it with Dire Straits, IвЂ™d modified the original arrangement considerably from the arrangement Mark Knopfler В had written the song around, and IвЂ™d added piano parts that became intrinsic to the live versions of the songs. The challenge is to make the tunes interesting without the lyrics. Most of the songs depend a lot upon the lyrics they were written with after all, the lyrics are 50% of the song. When I made my new album, Backstory, my brief to myself was to play the tunes as simply as possible, always making the melodies a priority and always with emotion. 'I make noises that can make people sad, which makes them happy.' - Alan Clark If IвЂ™d had two sentences, IвЂ™d probably have gone on to point out that the noises are organised into a pattern that isnвЂ™t heard in the natural world, and over thousands of years we have developed this art form into the ultra-sophisticated (and often less so) music we hear today, using ingenious instruments that allow us to express our emotions and make people cry, which makes them happy (music allows us to visit sadness without experiencing the realities that make us sad).

This was my reply when someone asked me to summarise, in one sentence, what I do for a living. I make noises that can make people sad, which makes them happy.
