Song of the Day (88): Romeo and Juliet – Dire Straits 

Song of the Day (88) - Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits

Mark Knopfler, lead guitarist and front man in Dire Straits, found his Juliet in Holly Vincent, lead singer of the band Holly and the Italian only she left him heartbroken. Out of that pain, he wrote this song.  

You promised me everything 
You promised me thick and thin, yeah 
Now you just say, “Oh Romeo, yeah 
You know I used to have a scene with him” 

That’s Roy Bittan from the E-Street Band bringing the Springsteen-esque sound on the piano.
