My son turned me on to Mark Knopler years ago! Sadly I lost my son in a tragic accident in 2003... But I still listen to M.K. all the time! Remembering my boy!!!
I'm sorry for your loss. Words aren't much, but I can only offer my condolences through message. Your son had (and still has) a great taste in music!
So sorry to hear this.
@@davidberry8431 thank you for your condolences!!!
My deepest condolences.
OMG..
So sorry for your loss...
I remember, towards the end of the 90's, me, a young Moroccan at the time, living in the little-known town of "Taza" in eastern Morocco. I often took the old train towards an other city "Oujda", where I continued my studies. The journey, lasting nearly 3 hours, traversed almost desert-like landscapes, familiar to my eyes. To stave off boredom, I would slip a Dire Straits cassette into my walkman and let their songs play: "Where do you think you're going", "you and your Friend", "Telegraph Road", "Sultans of swing"... But when "Brothers in Arms" started, I don't know how or why, time seemed to stand still.
And now, after 25 years, when I listen to this song, all those images come flooding back, and I feel that same sensation. For me, nothing compares to this Masterpiece.
Как жизнь сложилась? Кстати, несвойственные музыкальные предпочтения для твоего региона. Интересно.
Cassette and walkman, we are both showing our age LOL... but yep great music never fades
@@user-zc3gw4ck4p что я могу вам подтвердить, так это то, что мое поколение и даже предыдущие поколения 70-х и 80-х годов в моем регионе и по всему Марокко слушали все музыкальные жанры, включая западные стили: поп, рок, блюз, джаз, регги, хип-хоп...
Мы всегда были связаны с миром. возможно, из-за близости Марокко к Европе.
I love Dire Straits. But Brothers in Arms is my favorite song of theirs. Its a beautiful song. Wonderful album too.
He never plays the song exactly the same way every performance, his soul always comes through in the guitar and his phrasing. Remarkable genius.
True, but I think this is his best version of all.
@@raptor87peakconcordo com vc. Aí tem o benefício da maturidade.
I, Love.❤😊
@@raptor87peak Wembley 1988 would like to have a conversation with you
@@almirdias7516 I had to translate that: "I agree with you. There is the benefit of maturity."
Yes, precisely, well put.
القيثارة تتكلم جميع اللغات .واللحن يصل الى قلوب جميع الشعوب .
אין כמו אימא בעולם!!!!!!!!!
Indudablemente
Quando ouço essa música, sinto uma dor no peito, de um amor que não sei quem, e nem de onde é. Tenho vontade de chorar.
Goosebumps. All over.
My grandma recently passed away, and had written down that she wanted this song played at her funeral. She didn't get it, because my family is cheap, so I went to her grave after the ceremony and played it for her.
Aah Kindiz, your comment, your action really touched me. So glad you played this for her.
best you do … 👍👍👍
Peace Brother
Good man.
you did well that your grandma will be very happy. Brother
I am 78 , and still think this is one of the best songs in the world
I am 80 now, still love the song and still rockin.
Baz
Cant Agree with You more Mate
Lo es sin duda alguna 🇭🇷🇭🇷
Pure Classic. One of the Best Songs Clearly. Great Performance too.
I am 25 and i agree
Indeed a legend
Heard this when I was 13 years old. rebellious. childish. my own worst enemy. drugs. truant. criminal. This song wasn't even trenched with cable (MTV) into our house yet. This song in 1985 gave me a chill. Now it is 2024. I am 51 years old and can't believe I am still here to tell you this..... I do not deserve to witness this. Thank you.
Yes you do 👍
That is life my man.
Dieu a voulu que tu vives✝️✝️✝️
Yep you do otherwise you wouldn’t be 😉
Its 2024 and this powerful yet poignant ART masterpiece is on repeat over and over. Brings tears and total joy to the soul. Bravo 👏👏
Yes nicely said, it is art of course and a master piece, and now we have “One Deep River” to drool over.
В чём позитив?
Обожала эту музыку, но когда поняла, печально. Так нельзя жить. Не всё продаётся. Почему , готовы продать душу?
Very grateful to have witnessed him perform in a small venue before his second release. He is amazing!!!
Zseniális zenész és enekes, gratulálok. ❤
Played this at my fathers funeral, he was Green Beret. Played it for my sons funeral, 5 years in Iraq/Afghanistan. I was a veteran myself. We're all brothers in arms. It will played at my funeral.
This is a masterpiece by MK, and his gift of guitar playing is just awesome. Thank you MK, for sharing your gift with the world.
God rest your father. 🙏
And what a gift it is.
What the hell were they doing in those countries i hope they pay for their sins in hell
Sorry, but it's so stupid to devote sb's own life to such dirty polytical affairs. A sick hardware 😔.
You are blinded, sick, not a hero 😔.
@@adonisstarlink8943trying to restore liberty, look at afghanistan as soon as the US left. It was overrun by terrorists. Your comment is very distasteful and a great judge of your horrible character
Some day I will tell my kids this is what a TRUE rock star looks like. No freaky look, no attitude, no scandals - just 100% unbelievable talent.
Well Said
The difference between "star" and "icon"
True!

Mark Knofler and Gary Moore can make your soul cry with their guitar and their vocals !
I grew up on this music. . In a small town in Botswana; I was raised on a healthy hint of Dire Straits and Queen... in very little places that both MK and Freddy have never been to and probably never knew exist. But we did. Over here in the poor backdrop of the ghetto. I listened to 'so far away from you".... I loved 'Why Worry'. And today, at 50, this.... "Brothers in arms'; takes the biscuit. My absolute favourite. ❤
Similar, but I grew up in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe and I’m 49. Was introduced to Dire Straits at around age 13. Been a loyal disciple since.
Take care ❤
Greetings agreement from one born in Zimbabwe 1957...gj
I don’t know if this matters to you, but I think of all the people in all the places I will never be and I do care. We are none of us so far apart or so different as we are made to believe.
Yeah they're the best...I'm 53, grew up in Perth, Western Australia. 70's kids rock !!! I'm well aware of your beautiful country of Botswana. Australian's can be a bit ignorant sometimes, like thinking Africa is a country...lol. 🤣🤣
It's one of those rare songs that you wish never ended.
It never does end in my mind
I agree.
There are times I hear it each day ...
I was about to type these exact words!
Bom
This was played at my sons funeral, he was only 31 died 04/12/2020, this was one of his favourite songs. God bless him and RIP. Thank you MK
Sorry for your loss, May he rest in peace
F ... Respects..
His light shines in you
words 2 this song will be of comfort ~^*
@@SAPPHIREfun thank you my friend, they do mean so much to me.
My younger brother passed suddenly 4 months ago aged 36. This chokes up me everytime. Amazing performance.
So sorry for your loss
I feel for you brother.
Sorry to hear that, bless his soul. I just turned 36 a week ago.
I lost my brother in 2021 we carried him in to the crematorium to this . I often listen to this and remember him . I fell your pain . Stay strong
@@tomasocasiojr9748 Thank you
"We have just one world,
But, we live in different ones"
I'm so grateful for an audience that's not hooting and hollering and whistling through the whole thing. This audience understood the respect.
They are Germans.
That would be like hollering while Ennio morricone was conducting Gabriel's Oboe.
This song commands respect, by nature of it’s meaning.
Yeee haaaa. Woooooo.
There are moments that ya just need to sit back and rest in the greatness of another...This was a masterclass.
This old Soldier first heard this profound song over 35 years ago, and it still brings tears to my eyes. To all of my Brothers and Sisters in arms around the World, hear the words and feel the pain that we have suffered and inflicted. We are fools to make war on our Brothers in Arms. Peace must prevail!
Parabéns irmão pelas palavras
Thank you for your service. But, I truly agree with all that you said. Peace is the only way.
You do what your trained to do. Not what you have to deal with when you come home. That is the injustice of all veterans of war. I lost a friend recently and have only just understand his own suitation. My heartfelt condolences to all veterans and their own families.
It has been said, "Old Soldiers never die, they simply fade away." We've moved to "our valleys and our farms" but the memories are still real. Some days more than others. We who have survived witness as our brothers are called to higher service as we wait our turn. WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
No matter who or where you fought you are my brother.
So many different wars then and now.
Let us keep in our thoughts and prayers our brothers and sisters who have to fight these wars, often against their will, for the benefit of, or against evil leaders who use war as a way the achieve their political power and material wealth.
Same brother
It always amazes me how you can get so many people silent when Mark plays this. RESPECT
The lyrics on this song requires silence itself. It is such a beautiful tribute to the brave ones.
Mark Knopfler. The great storyteller and guitarist. I love his work. What extraordinary talent.
Truly the greatest of all time!
Realmente INIGUALABLE
Me and my brother served; (navy and air force). This song always brings me to tears. Lost my brother in 2023. Now I listen to it alone!
Rest in heaven, brother. We will meet again.
Veteran Brother, Hang in there and know they are near... for our loved ones are in all things in the realm of we all being Spiritual beings. I served in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam Era... lost a dear friend 9-16-1970 who was a Marine tank assault rifleman. Our birthdays were the same day just 2 years different. Lance Corporal William Franklin. As long as we continue on in life, as they would want us to... just give kindness somewhere to someone. They are closer to you than you think! Thank you for serving this Country we once had. Semper Fi! Namaste.
thank you for your service, Sorry for your loss 🙏
Ur bro in you bro
Sorry for your loss dude 🙏

I'm a Vietnam Vet. At the tender age of 73 I weep for MY FALLEN BROTHERS IN ARMS.
GOD KEEP YOUR SOULS MY BROTHERS.

Мир снова сходит с ума. Политикам понадобилось снова уничтожать людей. Нас с вами. И те, кто из нас выживет, будет оплакивать наших товарищей. И, спустя время, бывшие враги, вместе проклинать войну.😢
Welcome home
From Macedonia, Kosovo, Serbia & Bosnia ❤️. I know when the sun goes to hell, it can be hard to remember how warm & bright it used to be😢?. Brother's in arms. Bracha zauvek!!.
VN 67-68. The wounds remain.
😢
My god 🌟👌👌
Я тоже 🤗
Have just watched this again i feel the words and music are heartbreaking they appear so relevant in 2024
If every man, woman and child on the planet listened to this song at the same time, there would never be another war.
I am 52 and have listened to this song since I was 15 and to this day I reckon this has to be the best written song ever and the guitar play by Mark Knopfler is absolutely brilliant.
I heard of it but never heard it. Wow 😲 I must live under a rock. Jim Alabama
“Gentle on my mind”is also one of the greatest songs ever written .
Ha I same age as you, and totally agree!
What a master axe-man!!!
I am 2 years older and I feel the same…
This is one of the few songs that touch the soul and I’m sure so many veterans relate deeply to it ! A masterpiece
Outstanding ❤ my late Dads all time favourite , grown up listening to MK’s music, genius xx
супер!!!!!
We all want the same happy healthy families, communities why do so many people have to yearn before it works
AaáaaaññPP@@user-ez8tm8ut9k
I’m not a veteran, well not a war vet, just life. This has always been my ‘reaching for something’ music. This one in particular makes a mark on my soul. Every single time. I’m an 84: year old woman.
The Best Song EVER Written regarding the True Effects of War on both Mankind and the one & only Planet We Call Home....Mother Earth 🌎🌍🌏😪
My Dad was a huge Dire Straits fan, he would play the albums over and over. We would go out for a pint and he would put Sultans on the jukebox about 10 times lol. I played Brothers in Arms at his funeral. It was a long time before I could listen to this song again, hits me hard. As a guitar player myself I always appreciated the genius of Knopfler, I grew to appreciate the music more later in life though. Dad never got to see them live, he would certainly have loved it.
Definitely got your money's worth on a jukebox w that song. Sorry for your loss. Glad you've moved on bc there are likely people that need the best version of you bc they depend on you. Good luck.
I know exactly how you feel Rob.
My father was a regular serviceman in the Royal Marine Band during WW2. He played tenor sax and violin. When not on musical duties he aimed the ships big guns (a good mathematician) and was also ship's tailor.
He saw HMS Hood sunk by the Bismarck and lost many friends that day. But he got his revenge. He was a big gun aimer on HMS Norfolk and sunk the Bismarck with a little help from his Brother's in Arms. He also escorted many convoys to Murmansk, that was dangerous work but he survived WW2 unscathed and was present when the Japanese surrendered. He claimed to have visited every country in the world with a coastline except the american continent as being a regular he had a long career and took part in many goodwill visits around the world playing on shore at functions and receptions - his band was very good at Glenn Miller numbers.
In later life he stil loved all kinds of music, his only stipulation was that modern bands should be able to play their instruments in his judgement. His favourites were Mark Knopfler and Van Morrison, he even appreciated the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.
We remember our fathers fondly.
Who's to say that he doesn't see them play now. I'd love to believe that we can see things like this when we've left this world
Who's to say he doesn't get to see them now from a front seat
@@loismcclung5833 Wouldn't that be wonderful? And to go back in time too to see Queen live in spirit too.
This is what music should be, not a cheap way to make money but a way to Express ones true emotion and leave a message
well said. and yet some people rave about joe f.....g bonnamassa !!!
I'd be honored if some Mark Knopfler & James Taylor fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of their respective compositions ON EVERY STREET and THE FROZEN MAN on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of the greatest songwriters of the 20th century. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and RESPECT to the legends.
Right on the spot
Its been said many times--it seems the drug addiction proves the truth--useless.
good one..
A million of these views (and counting) are me re-listening to this masterpiece.
This is one of the best songs of all time 👏👏👏
There will never be a better song written, there will never be a better guitarist. Mark Knopfler thank you for over 45 years of great music.
I couldn't agree with you more. He's truly amazing.
I really agree with you 👍👍
Guitarrista igual a esse nuca mais é perfeito no que faz.
Magistrale interprétation !!
amen
Mark Knopfler is one of the greatest guitarists there have ever been
💖💖🙏
He said in a book I read once he practised so much he used to wake up sometimes in the early hours with his guitar , where instead of going to bed he fell asleep playing guitar .
A bit like Hendrix , hus guitar hardly left his side .Joe Brown used to go to work on a scooter in his early days with guitar over his shoulder .Dedication ( as Mark says ) is the key.And not many of us have it .
no question; and he plays without a pick....incredible!!
@@sean8470 Yes, no pick .I have been playing for years, and I have tried but simply cannot use a pick.
@@John-ob7dh I love finger picking on guitar. Classical gas in one of my favorite songs to play.
A truelly talented and unpretentious musician from dying planet starved of compassion. Long live these guitar heroes.
I’ve been blessed to work with some of the toughest men you’d ever wish to meet. And they get together and weep when they hear this. Warriors song!
Just musical genius .Still listening to this in 2023 and it brings a tears to my eyes every time….What a timeless piece of music/poetry….Legend.
This is the version I've wanted to hear since the original came out in 1985, horribly overproduced.
Beautiful comment
Soy uruguayo vivo en el culo del mundo no se inglés pero tengo buen gusto musical me saco el sombrero con este señor
Dokladnie to jest geniusz
Me too. Every time I listen to it. So emotional.
I’m a Vietnam Vet. When I heard this the first time I cried the tears of a baby. Only a combat vet can understand how much this song is true in every word. Don’t think for one second that I believe any of you don’t feel the words, I know you do. I’m talking of a visceral, deep in the bones, feeling. One that goes far beyond just feeling the song. Now it’s so many years since this was released and still I cry when I hear it. Thank you Mark for writing this and for giving such a heartfelt performance each and every time. I love your work.
Thomas DiBell ❤️
Missouri Male I just walked through the Remnants Museum in Saigon today. One room was full of drawings made by children who have tried to tell us through their art how they cope without limbs and with their horribly deformed bodies, just some of the 170,000 victims of agent orange, now into its 4th generation of defects. In another room I read there have been 104,000 victims of land mines and uxo since 1975. 18% of the country is so contaminated it will take another 100 years before people can walk around without worrying it will be their last step. Add to this the 2 million Vietnamese civilians killed by the bombings and torture and massacres, the 1 million killed revolutionary fighters, plus all the horrors inflicted on villages in neighbouring Laos and Cambodia. Adds up to a LOT of wasted lives.
same as us british, we lost 60,000 in one day, 01-07-1916, somme,
Great comment Thomas! Goosebumps.
Thomas DiBell
I agree, completely with you ... this is the real true ⭐️
I will never understand how he does it. I don't know if anyone ever will. You can see it in his eyes, he feels it, I wonder if he knows what it is himself.
In this version he probably knows all. When he wrote it at the very beginning surely not.
At the end he composed the best song of a couple of decades. Hardly to figuring out who or what happened on his mind that inspired Mark to compose this poetry backed up with such heavenly instrumental sound.
I'm 60 and not a single song grasped my mind and literally took me to the places we heard at Mark's descriptions.
I did try to get your point just because I did it too.
There have been thousands of song authors but can count them with your hand fingers those who make music and let you wondering the how and who.. Unexplainable
Вы даже не представляете, как Ваша музыка спасает меня прямо сейчас, в настоящее мое время... Когда не понимаешь, что происходит, кажется, что все отвернулось от тебя. Словно одна большая сущность забрала с собой все, что ты любишь, чем дорожишь, оставив за собой одни, греющие душу, но, вызывающие слезы, воспоминания... Когда нет надежды на возврат, ведь оттуда не возвращаются ни дети, ни взрослые. И остается только сглатывать, когда слышишь детский смех и закрывать глаза, чтобы увидеть вновь и вновь лицо ребёнка, которого видишь теперь только во сне и, смахивая слезу, отворачиваешься от тех, кто не понимает своего счастья, жалуясь на нерадивость своих детей. Ведь они -живы...
Когда любовь твоей жизни остается лишь мечтой, и все, что у тебя от него остается - это вкус последнего поцелуя, который никогда, возможно, не повторится. Но ты молишься Господу, чтобы он, хотя бы он, был жив и здоров, чтобы Благословил его Господь. Спасибо Вам за необыкновенные песни!!!
Помоги Вам Господь!
Держитесь!!!
GodBless, Always, Look Out for the angel He will send to You.
Que lindo, amigo !
Chi non ha un cuore non piange sentendo questa canzone. Bellissima
I don't know if you could ever understand, the great music you made, and what for a 11 years old kid was in 1990 going to sleep with his walkman listening to this, in the darkness, with his eyes closed and the only company of the melody and feelings of this guitar... every night. That cassette was most of his universe. And now, at his 41 listening to it and still loving it.
Only thank you.
Dani, I don't know where you live, where you are from, but I feel the same. I'm just 1 year older and Brother in arms was one of the two albums that I used to listen all the time when I was a child (the other was The Wall, Pink Floyd...)
I always found this song so...calm, even I didn't understand the lyrics (I'm french) when I was 11 years old as you were. Probably, not understanding the lyrics made more simple to let my mind floating in the universe with the music...
Greetings from France Brother in arms!
@@julien9470 Amazing. Thanks for sharing. I'm Spanish and it was in Spain. All the best, music brother.
@@danicai All the best for you too!
You have walked this earth before.
Same here. I got in bed and starten this cassette. My bedroom was next to my moms. Now she is sick with cancer. And wants this singel to be played at her funeral.
That guitar tone is almost like human voice. Mark makes guitar sing and cry
He knows knows all the chords
😍
The best!l love 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🤟
@@trevronwithtechron my name's Trevor too. You gotta keep those injectors clean, like Marks guitar.
The emotions flowing from each vibration are indeed raw, rare, pure, and divine. Such an elixir!
The fact that the way he plays the guitar here in the live version is different compared to the recorded set proves how art is all about the feeling in the moment. Something you don't need to replicate with machine precision because it is a unique experience every time making it that much more personal and interesting. Absolutely spectacular.
God bless you Mark Knopfler. Thank you for these many years man .
One of THE greatest musical humans to ever grace this Earth. A true legend.
...
I'm Happy to love & have her close to me...
Heaven sent! Amen Bro!
A true legend what a beautiful talent thank you
Yes
It's impossible to sing along to this and not full up with emotion. It's stood the test of time and is a masterpiece still in 2023. Don't worry. You're not the only one still listening to it
Listen to this masterpiece everyday
Really hurts man.
I salute you.
Так, брат или сестра, мира❤
An absolute masterpiece which I actually covered on my channel, which you are more than welcome to check out.
Hands down the best performance of this song ever
damn great!!!! This song has accompanied me since my youth, more than 45 years
Growing up listening to Mark Knopfler, David Gilmore, Sting, Eric Clapton .. what a time to be alive...still brings a smile .
Pense en guilmour al instante
Gary Moore, even better
This comment 👌🏻❤
Fantastic... same here 🙏
Abso-bloody-lutely. It takes the sting (no pun intended) out of getting old and getting all the usual age-related health issues. I love the music we grew up with ... starting with the Beatles (when I was too young to go to concerts) and every album I ever bought and every gig I ever went to in the 1970s and 80s.
The message is clear as water, deep as the ocean, don't kill each other because nothing will come of it except suffering, pain and death. Regards to the Artist.
I'm sorry, but I disagree and don't believe that is the message at all. For those who have served (I assume, perhaps incorrectly, that you haven't), this is more of a "love letter" to the people to the left and right of you as you face the enemy. I know, from experience, that you will never be closer to anyone else in your entire life than you are to your brothers in arms. These are the people that you would give your life to save; to not let down. Yes, we are fools to make war on our brothers in arms, but that is not our choice.
This song means so much to me. So much I even played it at my sister’s funeral, 10 years ago this coming December…
Je t’aime Lalie et tu me manques.
A very special song with a soft voice and a speaking giutar. Beautiful music to lift up a voice everyone can understand. So much suffering from war and cruelty in this world! May the hearts be comforted 🙏❤️
I am an ex-soldier served in the infantry for 27 years with many missions this song is a baulm on our hearts. God this song will always be powerful. Thank you Mark Knopfler 👊
Ditto MACV Nam 1966. This song will always remind me of Nam. Takes me back, Sad
Thank you. My son is in the Air Force stationed in Japan. Yes a beautiful song.
Gosto de ouvir essa música quando vó dormi e relaxante
This always makes me thing of the US civil war.
Respect to you brother
This must surely be one of the greatest songs ever written.
You are right
I completely agree. When the guys from my old Army unit and I have a little get together we play this before we leave each other.
Absolut! 😍
Unarguably yes! Along with green fields of France!
Lindo demais
I don't know why but I always break down in tears when I hear this song, especially this version. I try to fight it off but I just can't. What a beautiful song! I wish that our politicians that have sent our young men to die would have to go through the same thing. The lives that have been lost over lies are unimaginable! 😥
Твои песни, Марк, будут жить многие и многие года и десятилетия! Их будут слушать другие поколения и чувствовать, что чувствовал ты сам когда-то. Браво тебе, Марк!!
I am a retired firefighter from USA. When I hear this song about the Brothers in Arms, I am reminded of my own Brothers in Arms in the Fire Service. I was from a department that had an exposure to some terrible cancer causing chemicals and most of my mentors and brothers in arms I served those years with are now deceased. In some cases I was on a shift of people that faced all the dangers and death and destruction and now I alone am left alive. He captures the feelings I have about my brothers and sisters, both those who are left behind and those who are gone. But I know the bonds that are forged in such circumstances, and that even though the brothers come from different worlds and many times they are very different kind of people, you know you share that bond of shared experience and trust that is created in time of danger and facing tragedy together.
Australian fire rescue and hazmat member here. What you say is very true. Our station call each other brother for the bonds made in facing danger and adversity are strong and enduring. I know every one of them has my back and I have theirs. All who have served have our respect and are remembered. Thank you for your service to your community brother and thanks to those who you have lost along the way.
Me emocionei com seu depoimento guerreiro!! SENSACIONAL!!!
I relate to this song the same as you, my brothers were lost not in the World Trade trenches but rather Iraq and Afghanistan. Same war- different battle. Thank you and all of our brothers and sisters in arms for your service to humankind.
Vietnam here, no matter the war or peril, you NEVER forget those who served with you and those who never went home again.
Well said and apropos from a firefighter, when last I heard, firefighters are 7x more likely to be killed or injured on the job than the police.
That crowd knows how to listen to music, not shouting out or screaming but sitting there enjoying the moment.
It really depends on the song , if acdc play and your not jumping and singing you are a madman
@@alex_ander-22- Well said, I agree, but if you look at Pink Floyd's concerts, people go crazy over such chilled music instead of listening to the music
Germans!
@@Wuei108 😉👍
obviously, they're not Americans.....thankfully.
Thank you so much Mark for sharing your amazing talent with the world!
One of the greatest songs ever written, played by one of the greatest guitarists.
Mark and David Gilmour are two of the best musicians to ever walk this planet.
Absolutely X❤
I…literally just said that EXACT thing!
Oh I agree, both genius's
@@Chook57 I would love to hear them play together. Brothers in Arms would be as you say genius.
Oh god yes, or going home is another fav of mine. Imagine these 2 together..@@gibsalisbury
Probably one of the most moving songs ever writen. Makes me tear up whenever I hear it.
@gregnormal5ciao amico!🙋😍😘💘🍀
This song and Tim Buckley's "Once I Was" are two of the most important songs about Viet Nam and war in general.

Mark Knopfler sir you are a legend ❤🇨🇦
Dear Mark! I've been your fan for 34 years! I was 14 years old when I first heard your music! At that time I was engaged in music and could not devote my life to it, because I had to undergo the most difficult (one of the first in the world) surgery on the right arm. To this day I'm your fan! In a good sense of the word)
This is a song that kids should be taught in schools all over the world.
Look after each other. Look after our world.
Beautiful.
So true ❤😪
Trevorfoggia Good idea. Let‘ have a try.
So right. Children shoud learn this.
I have a 4months old daughter and i realy hope she learns all about Brothers in arms....
well im 13 and this is my favourite song and yes youre very true
You know you're listening to a sensational band when the live version is better than the studio one.
amen.
That is always the same. If they are good in studio and brilliant live, then I love them. Brilliant in studio and poor on stage they are just fake.
So true
🕊Amen🕊
Absolute nonsense. Nothing can beat that studio version.
"you did not desert me my Brothers in Arms." Only those who have served can understand this; no one left behind.
great Mark you accompanied all our youth with your magical music
There is something about this song and the guitar work that makes you feel like you are standing in front of a masterpiece.
Amen
agree
As I listen to this song Brothers-in-Arms, it reminds me about the trust we must have in our Comrades. Together we will endure.
As a battle hardened soldier who was 13 when this song came out and who later went to war. This song has a completely different meaning to me.
There's good reason for feeling that way. You are "standing in front of a masterpiece".
The guitar does all the real singing here. It’s easy to forget what a stellar talent this man is.
The lyrics are merely a setup.....
It's not easy to forget how talented he is..😉
He literally makes it weep
November rain guns
Isn't he the one who said there are things you can say with the guitar that just can't be said
It never fails. I get into some booze, end up listening to Brothers In Arms performed by one of the best guitar players in the world, and cry my balls off.
Good times!
Hey dude I am on my wife's phone here so this is between me and you, I am in London England, but God bless and sending you peace ✌
Depuis 2007rien n'a changé.. c'est toujours le meilleur...
Merci Mark pour ce morceau sublime
I'm a Vietnam era US Marine. Apart from this being one of my all time favorite songs and Mark Knopfler / Dire Sraits my all time favorite band; well I have nothing else to say.
JT Stover did you serve IN Vietnam, or were you just in the Marines during 65-75🤔
@@mickfunny4185 Sorta rude to ask.
Thankyou.
Thank you for serving your country. We’re all proud of you guys
JT, you said enough. Thanks for your service. !!
Mark Knopfler is one of the best guitars to ever walk this Earth in my opinion. He is a master at his craft of writing music and playing his guitar. He's a class act. I'm 55 years old and has been listening to him since he started with the Dire Straits in 1970s. There are a lot of versions of this song out on video. To me this is the best version he ever put out. Again just my opinion. Thank you Mark Knopfler
Ronald Reiser, Mark Knopfler studied with the greatest guitar pickers that ever lived. Chet Atkins.
@@sergeantmasson3669 I love every version of this masterpiece but the version that gets to me is at Mandela's birthday. Mark is really into it and showing strong emotion to the very end.
Simply awesome and loving..Thankyoù
I did not know they'd been around that long.wow😀😀
I´m also 55 and I agree with you, this version is the best I know. There are not so many music pieces that give me cold shivers over my back, every time I hear them. This is one of those.
One of the most beautyfull and important song of the planet history
I love this version of this song ! I can’t stop listening to it….
It’s a duet. Mark and his guitar. Brilliant..
Different class
😅😅😅
FABULOUS MARK KNOPFLER !!!!🎶🎵🎼🎼🙌👏👏👏
He is sooooo fine. Xxx lived in Papua new Guinea in The 80s. This was absolutely top music collection. Takes me back to amazing years with the magnificent guitars of Mark and his group. Ahhhhhh happy happy times
This song it just one of greatest songs ever made from one of the greatest guitarist ever lived.
I lost some very close friends in that awful Vietnam war. I miss them so much. Thank you Mark for honoring soldiers from all over the world.
Background of this Song ist the faulklands war between GB and Argentinia, Not Vietnam.
Altough im sorry for your loss!
@@thescript17 Same madness!
A temetésemen ez szó

Absolutely meaningful lyric, beautifully played and beautiful music especially guitar. Touches heart and soul. Thanks MK.
I recendtly lost my granddaughter. I know something of your pain. This recording is speaking to me as well. May you someday know peace.
This song reflects with deep feeling what this life and this world should and shouldn’t be. The instruments are crying. Thank you Mark for this heartfelt song. We are all Earth citizens and must live in peace. Prayers and blessings for Ukraine!!

"It's written in the stars, and every line in your palm. We're fools to make war on our brothers in arms."
As beautiful, heartfelt and powerful today as it ever was.
It started by killing all the Indians and buffalos and it never stopped but the devils are in the light now, we know them
Paz e amor sempre❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I fought in the Vietnam War and lost many brave brothers. THis song allows me to see and hear my too early departed young men
I also can see and hear the cries of agony of our young foes. may the lord hold them tight and give them from both sides the peace they couldn't find on this earth. WE were and are truly a band of bròthers
This song says so much and since all those years we humans still didn't learn
Played this at my father’s funeral in 1985 and it still manages to draw a tear from my eyes 👀 thinking of my pops who I miss so bloody much.xx🙏😢
Geht mir bei meinen Eltern und meiner Schwester genau wie dir , ganz alleine , ohne Familie , wenn ich zu niedergeschlagen bin , höre ich genau dieses Lied und fühle mich nicht mehr ganz so allein gelassen!
Peace to you, man.
kinda like that coca cola jingle id like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony...........
Am I the only one who found himself crying silently full of peace and joy? Tha acoustic guitar touched me as deep as never before. This version is absolutely special and delicious.
Peace and joy? This song is purely about lives needlessly wasted in war. This song is unadulterated pain and sadness and suffering. That guitar is weeping.
😪🎶
Be sure you are not the only one. One of the best song of the world for me
Am overwhelmed by your tight & intense fidelity to the original two Master's styles. Great playing. It was a pleasure.
Mark’s talent brings many of us strong men to tears….just the whole universe in one song… and everlasting feeling of loosing ❤❤❤
By this brilliant piece of musical poetry, Mark Knopfler speaks to my soul.
Tears are running.
I’m with you
100% Every time.
Such tears are special and neverending...
Thanks that you are here...
Этот шедевр для будущих поколении пока воины конфликты распри....мы далеки её понимать ... когда проходиш ад воины понимаеш
❤❤❤
My fav track of all time. This man is like a fine wine.....He just gets better with age.
God bless Mark Knopfler.
Good bless!
True story!!
God bless him and hiš gutar👍
You are spot on. Absolutely. After all the years he's been around, I'm just now starting to really know his music. Unbelievably talented.
@@chadmccardell4642 Yes, indeed my friend!
Very emotional song. Love your family and friends, hug them often. I have a twin brother and love him( and my sister) very dearly .
Also filmed in Germany , a special place for our family ❤
His touch, Feel, Timing, and Sympathy is just pure Heart and Soul, an Incredible Songwriter Artist and Craftsmen he is, I had the good fortune of meeting Mark one night and a finer humble guy you could ever wish to meet he is… The Real Deal he certainly is ⭐️🌞🎸❤️
I'll be 60 years old in two days time, I first saw Dire Straits live in 1979, last time I saw Mark in Concert was 2019 pre-covid. Hope to keep on seeing him for many years to come. Absolute musical genius.
You are a lucky person. I am glad you gotta see them live.
usted es un bendecido por el universo al haber visto a estos musicos en vivo y directo, felicitaciones
I also seen dire straits in 79 unreal
Beautiful, just beautiful. I am an old rock chick who is pretty much done after 66 very difficult years on this planet. And this gorgeous track gives me goosebumps and makes me want to hang on a little longer. xx
There going to play this at my funeral.
I know exactly how you feel Susannah...just a little while longer...I am 68
Come on Susannah and thomas, I'm 69, fortunately have been healthy all my life (lucky). if you're able to excercise, including resistance training, and get a good diet you may surprise yourself and keep on living and enjoying life for many more years.
At 79, this music still brings up tears. That's a sign of health and strength, I know because I was a top gun pilot.
Never give up. Life is what you make it. At this point you have to let go of negativity and focus on whatever blessing you have received along the way. I'm 64 and alone now but I know when my time comes I won't regret one minute of my life.
He's the Best Guitarist there ever was. Period.
My son passed away on the 20th of December 2023
We are completely devastated don’t know if we will ever get over his passing but brother - in -arms by dire straits will always be our go to song to remember him 💔
These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Someday you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn to be
Brothers in arms
Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've 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
There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones
Now the sun's gone to hell and
The moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line in your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
Thanks so much for the lyrics!

Semper Fi
A masterpiece.
You didnt deserve me
Does anyone know if this is a general song about war or about a specific conflict?
