IMO it is an ok song, not up to standards to the songs but it does have a brilliant short solo on it, but there isn't much special spark on it. This is a short song you can't say much about it really. The most rock song here and it has some beat to it! The guitaring is just great and the whole music has a good movement to it. This song is beautiful at times which shows what emotion is put on this song. Another emotional song and such lovely guitaring on the bridge with slide guitaring.

Mark's voice is amazing on this talking about how sorry he is to people he has been hard on and wants to make peace "Hand In Hand". This song has a nice piano piece as it is so relaxing and the guitar in this is beautiful. The song has no sense really but I like the song very much because it has really good beat and a good solo. Drums come in after a while and lead guitaring is added to the rhythm guitaring as a booster to give it a more melodic feel. Kicks off with the mainstream rhythm on the guitar with power chords on a clean effect so it gives that dirty sound. This song has a bit of catchiness in it with the beat it has. The guitaring is excellent again and solos are perfect again. The verses are very cleverly constructed so it is like an interlude to the chorus which is a very thoughtful way to construct a song. He sings on the chorus which are powerful on drum wise. Mark talks on this song which suits this very well. The lead guitaring brings out the melodic part of this song. The song kicks off with a very rhythmic drums and keyboards. The outro consists of lead guitaring which is so good but it is too short which is a shame. But don't get me wrong, this song is ok and nice to listen to. This song is a bit like "Tunnel Of Love" in a logic way it is constructed, but it is nowhere near as good. The verses can get boring which is the bad point of this song, but the chorus is uplifting so it draws the problem away. The chorus is very powerful with percussion banging away on it. Obviously this is about Romeo and Juliet but in Romeo's perspective. It starts off with an acoustic guitar playing and piano as well.

The song is a brilliant way to start an album. The Outro is goddamn amazing as always with the beautiful guitaring and piano playing. It is a fairground and the song resembles about meeting a girl and how she is like the Tunnel Of Love in the "Spanish City". The whole song is about a place called "Spanish City" which is located somewhere in the UK, not in Spain. The drums are very good at the bridges before the solos and I can't complement the guitaring enough on the solos, it just gets better as the song progresses. I must warn you that the guitaring here on this song is so damn good as always as the way that Mark plays it is just unbelieveable, its like hes talking to the guitar!! Moving on, the whole song is beautifully constructed with the music being very nice and vocals are really good. This song starts off with a kind of circus music then the whole thing shuts down and brings out the rhythm of the song straight away after 30 seconds. All the songs are written by genius Mark Knopfler except for intro on "Tunnel Of Love". Rolling Stone ranked the album #52 in their survey of the "100 Best Albums Of The 80s".The album clocks in at 37 minutes and 19 seconds which is not bad for 7 songs, since all the songs are average of around 5 minutes. Making Movies is the third album by British rock band Dire Straits, released in October 17 1980.
