The line is “every man has to die”, but the sentiment is the same. The most important line in the song is the last “We are fools to make war on our brothers in arms”
Peter, I think you are right about that being the most important line. Many people miss what Knopfler is saying about war by only seeing 'brothers in arms' as the friends who have your back. Instead, Knopfler realizes all the soldiers, including those on the other side, are brothers in arms.
💯
@@rossmacintosh5652 - Oh, wow. That is a powerful last line - “We are fools to make war on our brothers in arms”. Thanks for opening eyes to... Knopfler realizes all the soldiers, including those on the other side, are brothers in arms. Powerdful!!!
:'(
IMO it' one of the best and subtle anti war songs
Mark Knopfler doesn't play guitar to show off. He knows he doesn't need to shred. And he knows how not to play too much, how to make the pause and the silence as powerful as the notes he does play.
An incredible song written by Mark Knopfler, he wrote it during the Falklands War in 1982, but of course it can refer to any conflict. This song is so powerful and emotional, Mark's guitar sound goes straight to your soul, and the video is so evocative. The lyric is actually 'every man has to die', I love this song, it is so deep, and in my opinion, it's a masterpiece. Dire Straits formed in London in 1977 and their catalogue is huge. I know you've reacted to 'Sultans of Swing', I would certainly recommend 'Telegraph Road' from the Alchemy concert and I would also recommend the live version of 'Brothers in Arms' from (On the Night Live), it's epic! ❤❤
Sultans of Swing is totally a Magnum Opus of WOW
This song represents the last words of a soldier dying on the battlefield. The line you quoted is "every man has to die." That's why is voice is so soft in different places. Brings tears to my eyes every time.
Ride across the River is another must listen
Mark makes the guitar call out, cry, and grieve in this song. It’s a remarkable performance.
Perfectly stated. You find yourself crying along with that guitar.
Im 80,a viet nam vet.for lazt 3 years,been fighting stage4 cancer.afriend and vet has driven 4hrs to take me to lunchand 4hrs home .He hasdone this over 60 times to help me fight agent orange cancer of lover,lungs,colon ,And peritoneum.I was given 1_4 months to live andhere i amcancer free after beating it for 2nd time,thanks to my Brother in arms

wow....my respect....i am a South African vet ...and I salute u and wot we call in our Afrikaans language...vasbyt...gees....houding....its wot the youngsters dont have...a bond...support...love for a brother...much appreciated....keep it up...
Perfect song for Memorial Day. God bless those who gave their lives for our (now waning) freedom.
Giving their lives for freedom??? Ordinary soldiers are constantly dying for power-hungry politicians and economic interests. But dream on!
@jemp1965 and did you serve this country in the Military?
@@jemp1965 You aren't completely wrong but your ability to lay your head at night without having to worry about an enemy of America killing you while you sleep and many other rights and benefits we as Americans have were because of hard fault victories by our veterans in past wars. Had we lost in WW2 things would have been drastically different!Yes the warmongers in our government must be stopped.Our ONLY hope for that is their removal in Nov.! Current treasonists seemed to be hell bent on destroying everything!
Did they give their lives for your freedom? Where? Iran? Afghanistan? Vietnam? Syria? They died all alone.
@@olafborkner ?
This is an Anti-war song. In the first two verses, the speaker is addressing his own comrades, the "brothers in arms". Only in the final line does it become clear that all enemy soldiers are also meant by the "brothers in arms". We are all human beings, and in this function "brothers in arms" - "We are fools to make war on our brothers in arms"!
this song initially became an anthem for British vets of the Falklands War, but in the time since, its been adopted by soldiers everywhere.
As a young South African in the 80's this song struck a deep chord in many of us who went of to fight in the bush war this song carried many of us through the best and worst of times and fought in a war not all of us believed in and among us there were all colors and creeds but we were all brothers. Years later I used to work with a man who was my enemy during that war and even he was my brother.
Mark Knopfler is not only one of the greatest guitarists ever, he's a great songwriter as well. "Telegraph Road", "Private Invesigations", "Tunnel of love", "Planet of New Orleans" and "Your latest trick" all would be great for you to react to, especialy live versions of most of those songs.
Telegraph Road & Private Investigations are amazing.
Romeo and Juliet
Love over gold
Hometown boy❤
This song never ceases to make me cry. For all who gave their life so that we can live, rest calm and walk with the angels 🙏
Did they give their lives for your freedom? Where? Iran? Afghanistan? Vietnam? Syria? They died all alone.
@@olafborknerperhaps corea, iran,cuba, venezuela, nicaragua
All war is bad a lot of people die alone Marks song is about a dying soldier surrounded by his brother in arms who stayed with him until he died
@@christinehoughton8591 Yes it is and I pray that they walk with the angels
One of my favourite Dire Straits songs. The humanity of soldiers confronted with the inhumanity of war.
One of the most beautiful war songs ever !
"Theirs is not to reason why, theirs is but to do and die" - Tennyson on one of the most infamous British military disasters of the 19th century.
Into the Valley of Death rode the 600. Learned that poem in Jr. High, so glad we did.
yep charge of the light brigade.. one way mission to certain death
The performance you're looking for was the Alchemy Live version of Sultans of Swing. One of the all-time greatest guitar performances on record.
There's no other song as deep and seemingly makes the guitar cry than Brothers in Arms. Get emotional every time I hear it.
This one never ceases to give me chills. One of the most beautiful, haunting songs about soldiers & times of war. Mark Knopfler is just one of those artists - hits you in the heart ♥️
“We (anyone in the world, really) are fools to make war on our brothers in arms”
Deep down, armies everywhere, are our brothers in arms
Perfect release for Memorial Day
Mark Knopler wrote this song in response to the Falkland War (1982) and Dire Straits released it in 1985. (Another senseless war between Argentina and UK over a few small islands. Prince Andrew flew helicopters in this war.) And, yes, check out Home Free's version (the arrangement was done by the Finnish a capella group Club For Five); one of HF's best.
Yes, this song reminds me of how the Vietnam vets were poorly treated (I remember). It also reminds me of today's conflicts/ wars. We never learn. We're fools to make war with our brothers in arms.
Yeah, that's the response when a country has its territory and citizens attacked. Remember Pearl Harbour?
@@andylong6777 We (the world) never learn that war is always the answer. Imperial Japan thought war on the US was the answer to its ambitions. I am not a roll-over-and-play-dead dove nor am I a shoot-first-ask-questions-later hawk. We (the world) are fools to not respect each other, but respect does not mean tolerating the intolerable.
I agree@@brendasorenson6186
Senseless war in 1982 yes, but with enormous significance which you would do well to research and understand before dismissing it "over a few small islands". This was a war unlike any the US has entered into since the war of independence, it was over a genuine invasion od British Territory where the local population had no desire whatsoever to live under Argentinian rule.
@paulwood5803 my apologies for calling the Falklands "a few small islands." They are valued humans, too.
The thoughts of a man, about to die, who will buried where he fell, instead of going back home like his brothers-in-arms! RIP Sam and Al.
I love Mark Knoplers guitar playing, it’s like it’s talking , for sure one of my favourite guitar players
You should listen to the Home Free cover of this song. It is beautiful and haunting. Tim the bas and Chance the bartone sing the leads.
A beautiful cover of this song is the Home Free one. Those voices sound like a pipe organ at times.
Love Mark’s voice and he is an exceptional guitarist! Glad you did this one! ❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
Money For Nothing and Walk Of Life are the songs you're looking for from these guys, friend.
Money For Nothing literally written while having coffee somewhere and actually hearing those words( lyrics) spoken by actual guys passing by them...great song written at the beginning when MTV started up...
I knew guys that I grew up with who went to Vietnam and I'll tell you they didn't come back the same guys I knew...awful!
@@mariajobson739they were written while he was in a store that sold tvs microwave etc all the tvs were tuned to mtv and he heard one of the workers moaning about groups getting their money for nothing. Not in a coffee shop
Great reaction. Lead guitarist is Mark Knopfler from my home city o Newcastle upon Tyne in the UK. Mark wrote the song in tribute to my the soldiers who fought in the Falklands war in 1982. Great band with big back catalogue of songs LP
Home Free, the acapella group does a hauntingly beautiful video of this song. It is well worth your time to check it out.
It was AMAZING!
Totally agree!!!
It's good, I would agree, but it can't hold a candle to this original.
Home Free also did another song that BP would probably enjoy "God Bless the U.S.A." (featuring Lee Greenwood and The United States Air Force Band). Might be cool for him to do a reaction to that one sometime around July 4th.
I saw this performed live back in 1986 in an open air concert..... the guitar sound on this tune was just haunting as I remember...... not a murmur from the audience.... just mark knoffler and the band filling that audible space.... I remember now being transfixed by it..... "we are fools to make war on our brothers in arms..."
Home Free has a moving rendition of this that pull your hreat strings. The last line brings it all home, "We are fools to make war on our Brothers in arms." All humans are brothers in arms no matter the place of their birth.
Dire Straits was a British band that existed from 1977 to 1995. The lineup changed a lot, but the two constants were bass player John Illsley (the tall one with curly black hair) and guitarist/lead singer/songwriter Mark Knopfler (with the headband). Mark K. is 74 years old and still working in music. His latest album came out in April 2024. Illsley, the same age, has switched from music to visual arts and also owns a pub and some hotels.
Watch the Home Free cover, BEAUTIFUL and so moving also.
Vietnam was hell on earth for our boys. I had a draft deferment due to a HS football knee reconstruction but lost over 25 friends, neighbors, cousins & uncles to it. I grew up in a small blue collar town in TN, so a high number of the men drafted.
To me, personally the most moving lines are "Thru these fields of destruction, baptisms of fire, I witnessed your suffering, as the battle raged high. And though they did hurt me so bad, in the fear and alarm, you did not desert me, my brothers in arms"
That last part, "you did not desert me, my brothers in arms", is the one that kind of chokes me up, even though I was never in the military or in combat. But I can try to imagine being wounded badly on the battlefield, in tremendous pain and afraid, feeling like maybe I was going to die alone, and then the tremendous relief at seeing my brothers coming to save me, being SO grateful that they didn't desert me, even though coming to try to drag me to safety would put they themselves in more danger. Man, that's the ultimate love and brotherhood I think. What a great song Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits, as with a lot of people I think, this is what I'd call a truly loved song for me. Not just the lyrics, but the guitar playing is so, so beautiful and so expressive, so powerful.
Perfect song for Memorial Day.
Such an awesome song for today. Some gave alll....all gave some. Remember them this Memorial Day.
"Some gave all....all gave some" - Billy Ray Cyrus. Love that song as well.
You like home free. You should hear their cover of brothers in arms”
Home Free does this song justice. It is as hauting.
This is one of the players that guitar nerds go on about with their guitar tone. Its so good.
He said Every MAN has to die.
Another beautiful rendition of this song is Songs for Montserrat. Mark Knopfler performs with a full orchestra, and the song even fits the tribute. Montserrat was where a lot of classic albums were recorded and then got destroyed by a natural disaster. Other performers included in the performance are Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney and Phil Collins.
Edit: Music for Montserrat - ruclips.net/video/R9ehJ9fBe9Q/видео.htmlsi=Tw1-wMrcY7MGOZt8
Brothers in Arms itself was recorded in Montserrat :)
Brothers In Arms is a great track, and an emotional journey....
Telegraph Road and Private Investigations are incredible.... you've never heard anything like them
Home Free does an amazing cover of this song if you want to hear it acapella. Their version makes it much easier to understand what's being said and has outstanding harmonies that more than make up for not having a guitar.
Perfect Memorial Day selection. To Americans this song resonates with the Viet Nam experience, but Knopfler wrote this as Great Britain was involved with the Falkland war in the early 1980's. Another tribute song he wrote in honor of his uncle's experience in WW2 is Piper to the End - well worth a listen. ruclips.net/video/Va45lNVlxhY/видео.html
Knopfler's ability to express so many emotions sets him beyond any typical rocker, and his guitar skills are in the top echelons.
I saw them live in 1985. My first proper concert, and still my favourite. They were simply magnificent. Do the version of Sultans of Swing from the Alchemy Live concert, and you'll be blown away.
"We're fools to make war on our brothers in arms". Damn right! Respect the veterans from all countries who fight (or fought) the good fight.
One of my favourite Dire Straits songs. Mark Knopfler's guitar playing captivates.
It’s a song about the universality of the human experience and the futility of violence of men against men.
Acapella version by Home Free is soul stirring
Home Free did an awesome cover of this!
Nah this is awesome. This band made at best a good effort in their cover version. It’s like comparing them to the best that’s ever been.
I love this reaction. The more you listen to this, it takes on new meaning. Is this from the perspective of a dying soldier on the battlefield? This is a song that will forever be on my list of favorites. This song, as well as the National Anthem will bring a tear to my eyes every time. I hear the National Anthem and see the Battle of Fort McHenry. Once you learn what it means, you can never hear it again in the same way again.
Fitting tribute for Memorial Day, BP. I remember Dire Straits during the 80s & this song is a sobering reminder of the price paid by so many who fought in wars.
I always kinda felt like Dire Straits sounded like what you'd get if you combined Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers with Eric Clapton. Mark Knoffler's voice & guitar just have that vibe. They're a perfect blend of awesomeness & deserve much more recognition today than they get. Their Bros in Arms album was great & set a record for the 1st album to sell over 1 million copies in CD format.
If you want a little bit lighter side of them, Money for Nothing (written as a result of a conversation overheard in line at a store) and Walk of Life (video is awesome, too) would be 2 suggestions. In addition, there's "So Far Away" from the same album, which was a hit.
Btw...get you some Burt's Bees lip balm for those dry lips, buddy.
Love Mark!! On my Mt Rushmore of favorite musicians!! ❤
The first version of "Brothers in Arms" I heard was by Home Free. It was amazing!
No Chapstick, use Blistex in a tube or Carmex. They work much better. Just sayin'
🙂
A powerful video with even more powerful lyrics. One of the best anti-war songs ever written and perfectly performed by Dire Straits.
Home free did a very good version of this song. Please check out 5 finger death punch songs Wrong side of Heaven and the song Gone Away
No song can actually capture the degree of bonding of soldiers in shared danger. The bonds that form as we fight for each other are at once distant while being perhaps even closer than brothers and sisters. You try to keep an emotional distance to protect yourself from the pain as fellows are lost; yet it is impossible. The bonds are just too strong.
Brother you got the right song for the right day. THANK YOU from 20 year U.S.A.F. Vet. Home Free does a cover of this which is great. His lyrics are hard to pickup but his guitar talks for him in this song.
I was so hoping u would do this one!! The lead singer/guitarist Mark Knopfler is definitely up there with the top best guitarists! If u end up doing another Dire Straits reaction, check out Money for Nothing! It's the one song I think u would actually be familiar with cuz it was played on MTV constantly!
For sure!
Great song written by Mark after over hearing a conversation from 2 delivery drivers.
The perfect song for a Memorial Day reaction. I believe it was written about the time of the Falkland Islands war, but represents the soldiers of all wars well.
He’s a master on guitar he makes his guitar 🎸 bring his soul out like Gilmore Awesome
A timeless song. I love it so much. War is so useless. 😥Thank you for your reaction ❤
My favorite episode of Miami Vice called "Out where the Busses Don't Run" ends with this song as a background to the ending. I watch the video on RUclips a lot. This was the perfect selection. My favorite Dire Straits song as well.
Yes with bruce mcgill i think my favourite episode
@@bone3442 yes and he played the part perfectly.
The aristry in this video is perfect.
Mark is one of the top five Rock guitarists…….you must watch Freddie sing WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER….Live @Wembley in 1986…..Do not deny yourself this beaut…..definitely the Wembley version……chills.
Perfect choice for Memorial Day!Thank you.
Can't listen to this without a little tear for my friends now gone, rip brothers ❤
'Brothers in Arms' really hit me to my heart. To think of such grief, maybe WW 1, WW2, Vietnam, so deep. Listening to Mark Knopfler is really deep & very good listening to the lyrics.
I served in the forces, but this song reduces me to tears every time
This was my favorite song on that LP. Dire Straits hit the air waves while I was in high school and MTV was being introduced to the world!!! I'm up in Canada so we never got that service unless we paid a pretty penny for it, thank goodness Much Music came along lol!!! Love the hauntingness of this tune, appreciate it even more now as I am approaching senior territory.
😢 Happy Memorial Day for all that gave their all. R.I.P.
Songs about the war on Falklands and the the reason for it, Mark Knopfler is classed as one of the greatest guitarists of all time and he seriously is right up there
No Bravery by James Blunt, an ex-soldier, is another thought provoking classic, or his Carry You Home.
Great Song and Tribute to every Soldiers and Veterans that fought in every war from beginning of Nations Country's Nd Soldiers serving they're Country's
This song still hits me, my dad was an ex soldier, the stories hes told me about the things he done and witnessed 😢
I love this song and I also love home free version of this one to they both catch u in ur feelings if u get a chance u need to do a reaction on theirs to
Mark Knopfler has a really distinctive sound that is instantly recognisable, very smooth and clean. One of the truly great guitarists. You are in for a ride my friend. Enjoy ✌️
Great reaction. I am from Norway and have never been in a war. My grandfather and great grandfather were. I have done my military service. But being at war, I can hardly understand. Must create a special bond with your fellow soldiers.
mark recently auctioned his guitar collection (or about 120 of them). you can watch it on youtube somewhere.
he’s not long released an album too and can definitely still play but i think he’s starting to call it a day
You love it, don't you. "Every man has to die." When the vets came home from Vietnam, I was a little kid. The first 10 years of my life. I was and am a very sensitive, compassionate person. Empathetic even. It broke my heart seeing the vets. Men walking on crutches in the shopping mall. Pant leg neatly folded up and ironed in place. Where the leg he given for us should still be. This song is such a sweet, delicate tribute to those precious individuals who came back haunted or came back in a box. I apologize for my rant on the "Little Darkie" reaction. It traumatized me. We have one beautiful place that we all share. Why not throw out positivity instead of verbal violence?
❤ Much love❤
I hear you. I was a bit older than you, but I wanted to go out and fix them all. But it doesn't work that way.
They formed in 1977, performed until 1988. This is my favourite Dire Straits song.
💢💢🌺 ... Dire Strait , is one of the best bands ever. The guitarist - Mark Knopfler- is in the legend category with the others you mentioned. This song will live on forever. The acupella group - Home Free - does an amazing cover of this great song. It would be another reaction that many would check out. 🌺💢💢
Absolutely beautiful song ❤
Chills every time I hear this.
Enjoyed your words, they were very meaningful. And yes having kids changes it. Mine are 26 and 23 and I still worry about their safety. In another time and country my son could have had to go off to war. Take care 💜
This song brings to mind my dad who fought during WWII in the European Theater under Patton. I have his army trunk. It's bottom is scrapped raw, indicating the many times it was loaded and unloaded during it's horrific journey.
One of the best guitar players!!!
Rest in Paradise to all fallen soldiers and thank you for the ultimate sacrifice!
Mark Knophler is one of the greatest guitarists alive today and is such an immotive songwriter. Not just with Dire Straits and his massive successful solo career now 10 albums.
Yep, it’s Mark Knopler. But there is a song you probably do know. It played constantly in the late 80’s when this album came out and was the new wave via MTV & rock radio …you have to check out “Money for Nothing”…probably their most famous song - and yeah, it is what it means…
The first song on that album “So far away” and “Walk of Life” are also really good. The entire “Brothers In Arms” album is great. One day when you need to just listen to something to burn some time, set this album through streaming on play and just listen to it in entirety. You won’t be disappointed…
Do Romeo and Juliet by them. Beautiful song.
Love this song, I have it on a cassette tape by the same name. Mark can really mack that guitar cry. He's so good.
An absolute banger - Marks carateristic guitar play is at it's peak
This is a great song!!
BP I know I've asked you several times but I promise you that you'll love the video and the song it's very patriotic and extremely touching!
The name of the song is Til the Last Shots fired, and it's by Trace Atkins....
Please do the one performed at the CMA's. It's so worth watching. I've been checking every day to see if you do it please watch it. Thanks.
Walk of Life....Best Dire Straights song ever
My great grandfather passed 2 hours before my father in law, same hospital on different floors. My grandfather was 96 and FIL 53 I went to 2 funerals 2 days in a row.
Sultans of swing amazing guitar work 🇬🇧😊
Mark Knopfler is the Jedi Master at “chicken picking” the guitar. His playing is incredibly distinctive and seeing them live in 1992 was one of the greatest moments in my life. I’ve seen so many great bands and musicians throughout my life, but that’s the one that stands out for me. He is a GOAT. Next up should be Telegraph Road from Alchemy Live.
WOW. Saw the brothers in arms tour in Feb '86, blew my mind. Also saw "The Oils" (midnight oil) in 86 and 23, The only thing that comes close to hearing Mark's guitar is seeing Pete dance both live. I missed some amazing bands, but i was so blessed to see some of those I did. Weddings Parties Anything, "A Tale They Won't Believe" Everything great beat with added cannibalism and all true.
Definitely a masterpiece from these brothers
It's a masterpiece, Ukraine comes to mind and all those heroes protecting their country. This is ukrains song❤❤❤❤
