MAKING MOVIES - The complete Dire Straits song (studio version by Roberto Sánchez)

Written by Mark Knopfler.

All the instruments in this studio version by Roberto Sánchez (of "Paid in kind" band).

Complete version as imagined by Roberto Sánchez, based on the Dire Straits incomplete demo.

I decided to record a full version of this demo, including the missing parts as I imagined them.

Based on my own interpretation of the demo, I composed some arrangements and an ending that I hope are in keeping with the original idea.

Although the original Dire Straits rehearsal remained undeveloped, I'm sure that if they had completed and recorded their own full studio version, it would have undoubtedly been different, more sophisticated and far better.

It was a ""tricky operation!!"" ;-)

LYRICS:

Making movies on location
In the heat of the sun
It's a groovy occupation
For everyone, for everyone, for everyone
Action, action, making movies - take one

Find the panorama, scan across the skyline
Down to the drama, down to the waterline
You're Kind of watching from the sidelines in the sea
If you know what I mean... Oh yeah...
you know what I mean... Oh yeah...

Wanna zoom in closer, Let me see the fire ball, Oh yeah...
Try to keep your nose up, Hold it on the eyeball, Oh yeah...
You've been walking on a fine line on screen
If you know what I mean... Oh yeah...
yeah, you know what I mean... Oh yeah...

Making movies on location
Uuhhh... In the heat of the sun
It's a groovy occupation
Uuhhh... For everyone, for everyone, for everyone
Action, action, making movies - Take one

yeah, she's everybody's daughter got to play drama queen
got everybody fallin over her just to make a scene
Yeah, she still acts like she's seventeen
If you know what I mean... Oh yeah...
you know what I mean... Oh yeah...

I'm a bit part extra do anything to get a line, Oh yeah
Down to the drama, down to the waterline, Oh yeah
He is in the right place, wrong time
If you know what I mean... Oh yeah...
you know what I mean... Oh yeah...

SOLO

Making movies on location
Uuhhh... In the heat of the sun
It's a groovy occupation
Uuhhh... For everyone, for everyone, for everyone
Action, action, making movies - Take a break... Take a break...

It's a tricky operation
Need cooperation
Out on location
In the heat of the sun
