Mark Knopfler did the impossible with Dire Straits, music that truly Means something. Smooth, melodic, emotional. Orgasmic, I would say.
During his solo career, Mark did many good songs, but the one really outstanding is "What it is".
That is a song that can effortlessly be compared to the whole Making Movies album (which I value as DS's best effort).

What is it?
It's a stream, it's like steam ascending and taking all the possible shapes one dares to look at.
Right now I feel that song flowing through me. I don't even need to listen to it, I just Feel it.
Hell, it is ME.

It flows, a violin gives an unmistakable folk vibe, the guitar always playful (fingered picking), the vocals so warm and simple.
Mark Knopler has the gift that few geniuses share: he can do amazing things seemingly effortlessly.
All the songs feel so easy, so in place, it's like it is like this because that's the way it's meant to be.

That's what it is.
I feel like the song, I feel the song.
I don't care. But not in the rebellious "I don't give a fuck" sense. No.
Whatever it comes, whatever it is, so be it.
I now realize it takes maturity to accept.
