I'm a 66 year old man. I've been listening to this song since it was released, and I get weepy every time.
Don't apologize for feeling something. 👍
Same here my Friend. I am 65 in May and the one thing that is so important about this is that The Sun always shines in The End 🙏
55 years grown man here, same fellings every time i hear that song.
This was written in 1982 at the time of the Falklands War between Britain and Argentina, the backstory is of a soldier dying on the battlefield, he is thinking about his life, his comrades around him and won't leave him, it has become a sort of unofficial anthem for servicemen in that you never leave anyone behind, you bring your brother home, the song highlights how senseless and wasteful war is, a huge thank you to all men and women for their service, deepest sympathy to those who have lost someone ❤
Absolutely. 💯
For me this is an ultimate anti-war song.
I consider myself as one of the oldest Dire Straits fans. Since 1980, when I heard Sultans of Swing for the first time and I didn't even know who they were, it took me almost half a year to figure that out. And they are still one of the greatest bands ever.
The rest is history.
@@fifi23o5Same story here....Sultans of Swing blew my mind when it came out....still does. This song is something very special.
Do you also know a song called Eddie about a soldier that came back from the Falklands ..it was on the b side of a single. I don't know the artist. Don't remember the A side
@@JoJo-hl4tz hi, no sorry I've not heard of it
Tears will not make you appear soft, they make you authentic. Do not change that! There would be way less conflict in this world, if more people were like you. You two are amazing together. ♥️
One of the greatest hymns ever written!!! The true definition of an classic. And it's true, the Brits are in a class of their own.
own
thankyou brother
A island nation full of warriors
It's sad that the song never loses its topicality!😢
"We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms"
Los poderosos hacen las guerras pero, no son ellos los que las pelean !!!!por desgracia
@@jamesbondbond8388 ¡Tiene razon, hermano!
NATO as a US tool has used brothers against brothers again. The song was written about Nicaragua but the same methods are employed by the US, bloody coup, arming fascist thugs in Ukraine and make them kill their brothers and neighbours.
That was going to be my comment as well. Can humans get beyond war, or will we keep on until destruction.
This song is written from the point of view of a dying soldier saying goodbye to his comrades. Everything about this is fantastic mark is a songwriter and guitarist of the highest order.
First the goosebumps then the tears lol
One of my favourite tracks of all time MARK actually makes the guitar cry.
Music is supposed to move you in some way.
IMO a masterpiece
If this song does not make you cry, you’re not human! Great reaction!! It’s not too soft!! You can cry & still be a very strong person!
Honestly if you didn’t have tears that’s not a sign of being tough it’s a sign you haven’t got a good heart or a humane personality , your tears are a strength of a good character , great reaction to an amazing piece of music
You have now discovered the two guitar players who can delve deep into your soul and emotions like nobody else ... Mark Knopfler and David Gilmour . The next Dire Straits track has to be Telegraph Road Live from the Alchemy Tour . Its remarkable .
100%, Telegraph Road is one of my 2 all time favourite tracks
Agreed! Except STUDIO track first
I would add Steve Rothery to the list actually. Not getting the praise he deserves.
I agree on Telegraph road but in this case the studio version is better
@@johnfallon3525 I'd love reactors to do a double. Studio then live.
Andre you are a sensitive man with a big, kind heart. We see it in your face, we hear it in your voice, and know it from your words. These are characteristics that we should all have. Embrace them. I can see the Dominica is proud of you. That is all that is important. Thanks to you both for sharing your genuine reactions. ☺✌❤, PJ
I was once hurt in a relationship but seeing you two honestly makes me realise that opening your heart and making yourself vulnerable is truly worth it great reaction and even better couple hope your having a great day if you see this
What a sweet man you can see the feeling in his face , Love you both.
Crying when you hear this song is called being human
Don't worry about shedding a tear or two. I've probably heard that song a thousand times yet squeeze a tear out anyways every time I listen to it.
Cry all you want brother,a strong man is never afraid to cry ❤️
The deep poignancy of Mark's guitar and his lyrics always bring tears to my eyes, even more so these days...
I've watched three reactions to this song tonight and my eyes leaked during every one of them. Having an emotional reaction to music is what makes us human!
When a song is so breathtakingly beautiful there are no words in your soul to describe it.
I think that most (if not all) people who watch this video just once, would never forget it.
Mark Knopfler is up there with David Gilmour.
Not really but close
Ive always love DS.. itd my grow uo music i love it but when you talk pf gilmore it for me 2 Dif lv.. but tjos song is for me atop10 all time song
Not quite, but almost there.
Definitely up there with the best
Just fingers, no plectrum needed...
After so many years, I still cry everytime I listen to this song. Masterpiece.
This song makes me cry too. Pure human emotion pouring out of that man, making his guitar cry out in sorrow and yearning.
I've known this song almost 40 years and it still makes me cry
Dire Straits-Telegraph Road Live- aLCHEMY Tour 1983. this is just class.
My favorite
Crying is a good marker to determine a great work of Art. I also cry a lot when encountering something that "speaks" directly to me. We usually have barriers with which we protect our "thin" soul strings. But when we eet with a masterpiece we take those barriers away and let ourselves loose some water.
Knopfler is one of the absolute greatest in expressing emotions through his guitar, for me Knoplfler and David Gilmour are the two greatest at this
What about Roy Buchanan? 🤪
@hermano4242 yeah, I mean there's several other candidates tbh, Gary Moore for one, Peter Green is another, BB King as well
Probably one of the best songs ever written accordning to me.
I'm a 62 year old man, this song still brings tears to my eyes, so don't feel bad that you have the same reaction as many people it shows empathy, thank you for your reaction video. ❤
Only toughest people can cry on front camera. This song makes my thoughts go with Ukrainian soldiers, blessed be their souls.
Same here man, same here
Bless the Russian soldiers too. Both are just following orders, and would be in their homes had they not been made to fight. Putin is only one Russian, not all of them.
@@Tijuanabill Correct but sadly does not fit the narrative!
@@Polecat54941 they where fighting over an island in 1982 not trying to wipe out a country with a crazy dictator
@@Tijuanabill The majority of people in Russia, including most sadly the Russian diaspora all over Europe, overwhelmingly support this BS war. They have an option, which is to rise up and get rid of their dictator and all his political cronies. Just as Ukraine did, just as Romania did just as many countries have done over the years. There is no excuse.
Real men cry. Thanks for the reaction. It just means you have a big heart.
Dire Straits is one of the few bands that can really play with your emotions either happy or sad. It doesn't matter because they pour their soul in to their music and narrating/ singing, he's really a story teller and the guitar is the emotions. It's good to see it makes us cry because it's a sign it's a masterpiece and also that we're all human.
This song will NEVER get old. I'm 48. Metal, hip hop whatever, this song is always in the top 5
Softness, kindness and empathy is not weakness my friend. It is the strongest thing in the world. It enables you to help people in the worst possible situations and spread happiness in the world.
So please, don't be ashamed of your emotions. Makes you more human then most.
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
I cry everytime i hear this song,so powerful.
Never a dry eye when this is played
Don’t be ashamed to cry my friend- be proud. You have the soul to be moved by beautiful music.
And the theme of this song should make us all cry, for man’s inhumanity to man, and in a positive way for the spirit of brotherhood
We’re here because you get it, like we do.
Walk tall friends- your hearts are pure and I love you for it
Hi Andrei, nothing wrong with songs who can touch you. In the past I listen thousand times to this song. So good. About soldiers and stupid war I listen also to ‘Christmas True’ of Sabaton, with Floor Jansen at the end ( I thought you already react on this song). But some leaders in the world don’t listen to this music, they like to ‘play’ with young soldiers. Poor boys.
One of the greatest songs of all time
Yeah this song.. is just perfection.
'The guitar is like crying.' Nice quote.While my guitar gently weeps comes to mind.I think the guitar,piano and violin can cry like no other instrument.
Hello from Switzerland. It's great how the song grabbed you, above all, showing emotions in the song is by no means a shame.
It's one of my favorite Dire Straits songs, Mark Knoffler, his guitar playing just to the song just a masterpiece, it underlines the theme, his singing. The song, probably one of the most gripping on the subject, which unfortunately is always up to date.
This is the genius of MK. He writes sings and plays songs that tell stories so deeply, they speak to your heart.
“We have just one world but we live in different ones.”
The guitar is crying out with emotion.
Music like this removes the blocks we have created covering our hearts and puts us in pure connection with ourselves. This is part of where the tears come from. It's the same result as meditation.
Love your reactions, as always. Do yourself a favour and listen to the album version without the official video it's about 2 minutes longer and has so much more delicious guitar.
This song was written after the capture of the outer Falkland Islands, including the Isle of Goats, where SAS soldiers surprised a group of Argentine army fighters. It was a violent battle, where many men were sent to their eternal glory. This song is in tribute to them, including Lt. Green and Sgt Batchelor. RIP.
This song always makes me cry..... Never forget....
It is nice not only to hear music but also to feel music. Whether laughing or crying, both are part of it for me. Unfortunately, many people have lost the ability to express their emotions. You two haven't lost that ability yet, thank God.🤘❤
There's nothing wrong with showing emotion...it shows you are human and really feel the song. Its a blessing not a curse.
No matter how many times you hear this song you will always be affected emotionally
In my opinion, if this song doesn't get the tears flowing, I think you may not be human.
This song is powerful in how it evokes feelings of compassion and comraderie for our fellow human beings and ALL of the soldiers who served their countries
I'll let you in on a secret. This song makes me cry every time I hear it. And I've broken horses, bathed with gators, jumped from planes and swam in oceans. I played and coached American style football and wrestling, I've tracked down fugitives, climbed mountains, etc. I don't think of myself as soft because this song gets to me. You're not soft.
I wish more people in the world were "too soft" - lovely reaction!
That is the only true reaction that is expected while listening to this song. If it touches you that deep it means that you felt it and understood it.
"We are fooks to make war on our brothers in arm" sounds extra true these days.
Don't try to be a tough guy, André. You are a sensitive soul and you are loved for that. Your emotions are beautiful.
One of the best songs of all time for me.
If you ever find yourself in the Netherlands, you are hereby invited to listen to it here. The nuances on a (bit too serious hobby😂) hifi set makes it even more beautiful.
Also, emotions, showing emotions, just proves you are a human being, with a big heart.
All the best to you ❤
when someone is good enough to make the guitar cry...
The best music in the world. It moves you to tears, or to goosebumps, or to euphoria like Beethoven’s 9th. Just sitting and paying attention, as you must in a reaction, it allows the music and lyrics to have their full effect. We have all been made to cry by music.
All soldiers in the world can refeer to this song...And do.....😍
Don't feel bad crying of feeling bad, as a medic during Vietnam, I cry EVERY time I hear this song.
This song goes so deep. And knowing the original I never thought that another version would hit me even more. But I was wrong. I'd definitely recommend / ask doing a reaction to "Home Free - Brothers in Arms".
Don't be embarrased. I am English and it always brings a tear to my eye when I hear this song. I bought this Album in the 1980's and this was a suprise song on the Album. Brilliant.
Real men are self confident enough to show their emotions, there is nothing tough about repressing feelings
The first time this song does not hit you in the feels, is at your funeral.
If there was ever an example of someone making a guitar cry, this is the song 😢
What emotions the lyrics don'tell is explained by the guitar. Simply awesome.
I have been at war and since I came home - that was back in 1977 - and years after it I heard this song for the first time, it was the same feeling which I had after recovering from PTSD. Knopfler talks about the real thing with his lyrics and his guitar-playing which raised the same emotions in me about war!
It's no shame to cry to this song. Every time I listen to this masterpiece of an anti-war song, it goes straight to my heart, my soul and the tears flow. I appreciate the honesty of your reaction. No more war.
Fabulous reaction man. That's what music is supposed to do - stir the emotions. Thank you. Soft? No way. To show your heartfelt emotions like that does you great credit.
This does reach into your soul. It makes me cry every time. The word you're looking for is a "Plectrum" :) But we need to listen to the message and stop waging war on each other. The guitar is meant to be a soldier dying on the battlefield in my opinion.
You are such a beautiful man. Don't be ashamed to cry.Keep real and honest. The whole song cries.😭
When music hits you when you're left speechless enjoy it because it's rare. Mark Knopfler plays in a way that hits the core to your nervous system. Dire straits still give me goose bumps 40 years on.
The two of you are just so beautiful here. Andrei, don't be ashamed that this music moves you to tears- believe me you are not the only one.
And Dominika , it so lovely to see your love for Andrei here. Thank you both for sharing this.
If this song does move you to tears, you aren't human. What a beautifully moving song.
Never be ashamed or embarrassed about showing your emotions. It takes a real man to do that. This is what I love about your channel. Peace!
This is a Master Piece....for eternity
There is a line from an INXS song called Never Tear Us Apart, "I'd Make Wine from Your Tears" I think that is appropriate here.
The entire Brothers in Arms Album is a masterpiece , every song is well written and performed . Songs like " your latest trick " , " why worry " , " so far away " , " money for nothing " , " walk of life " .
Great reaction, and I loved how you're so comfortable with each others feelings.
A song about the futility of war and the commonality of us all. Very apt in these days.
Nearly 40 years has passed & nothing has changed. Politicians & Dictators decide to go to war & young men die. It is wrong. Just wrong but for those who have been in battle then they are Brothers in Arms. Something only a combat soldier would understand. This was also a love story for Soldiers they should know they are not alone. xoxo brilliant song by MK & band.
It takes a strong man to cry and feel his emotions.
I often listens to dire straits song. Brothers in arms will touch your heart and souls.
Knopfler is amazing. For me, he is in the same league as David Gilmour - although they play different guitars with different styles, they both can touch your deepest emotions with just a couple of notes. This song always makes me cry (you're not alone in weeping to the music, Andrei!) I have long wished that Knopfler and Gilmour would team up - can you imagine them on stage together, riffing off each other? I'd pay a lot and travel far to see that. Love your reactions, keep them coming!
It's a great shame that the only time I'm aware of where the two have been seen playing together is in a comedy sketch, funny though that sketch is. Apparently Mark even used Dave's rig during it. It's on RUclips. Just search for Knopfler Gilmour Sketch.
@@jjc5407 Thanks for the tip, Mate!
Dire straits is one of the good bands they reminded us to the golden era (years between 80’s and 90’s), they have a lot of good songs like Tunnel Of Love,and Money For Nothing and many other songs.
As i said before, your reaction still the best and plenty of emotions and too much vibes.
You are a true man for showing your emotions 😅
I love Dire Straits. This song is deep and that guitar is piercing.
Such a profoundly beautiful song, so emotional and absolutely beautiful played. Wonderful reaction, how can you not cry.
The great Mark Knopfler on guitar and lead vocals. Another one of the truly great guitarists of the progressive rock era. Check out "Romeo and Juliet" and "Once Upon a Time in the West" by dire straits.
Love this reaction! Some won't understand - but some people just listen to music, some really like music but some people really FEEL the music and Andrei is one of those people. Music transcends race, religion or politics and touches your soul! I don't know if you play and instrument Andrei - but if you don't you should! Those who truly feel music make the best musicians. 🤘🤘🤘
I still cry when I listen to this song. It is a song that always elicits deep emotion, it doesn't matter what age, what race, religion, color or creed. This is the magic of brilliant music, from the story telling to the instrumental arrangements, Dire Straits were 1 of the greatest bands to ever tug at a heart string. I loved your guys reaction.
Mark Knopfler is so sweet and soft with his guitar, this band is totally timeless, I think their songs will never get old
(And the word you were searching is guitar pick ;-) )
Mark Knopfler is truly a musical genius. His composing and performing skills are indeed sublime. Not only his works with Dire Straights, but solo and he has even written scores for motion pictures. Here is a live performance that displays his talent well - he has the ability to create delicate yet haunting phrases with the guitar:
ruclips.net/video/vyI9flHHT2Q/видео.html (Mark Knopfler - Romeo And Juliet (Official Live Video))
This is a theme from a motion picture he wrote. It is instrumental only, and depicts images of northern Scotland. Many people either request or play this at their or loved one's funerals:

One of the best song ever. And Mark Knopfler is magical on the guitar.❤😎🇸🇪
I have to say something. I use this song as a test of what kind of person I'm dealing with at the moment. If this song doesn't make you feel the grief of ages of humanity, there is something broken in you. Be grateful that your not one of them. We need fully functioning adults to meet today's challenges. It's a relief to know you are among them.
I first heard this song back in the mid 1980s, and even after hearing it over 100 times it still hits me emotionally. Musically, I love how it feels like a duet between the singer and the guitar.
Knopfler is one of Britain's greatest ever songwriters.
Yes, Mark is a Poet & a storyteller. None of his music is ordinary it is all extraordinary.
Hi Guy's don't ever stop being you, you are 2 very good Souls, I have seen this many times but the Tears still stream from m eyes, Heart felt, ATB From an English Brother Wayne, UK........
I really enjoy and appreciate your reactions. Always. You're a very sensitive pair and you so quickly understand singers and bands and their songs. And feel them too. This song moves me as well and Mark's guitar has never sounded better.
I am crying as well 😢❤
I heard this song 100 times,still there comes a tear in my eyes..
What a lovely reaction. 😀 Greetings from Norway.
This is one of those songs that definitely plays on your heartstrings. Now that you have heard the original by the band that wrote and presented it you MUST find and listen to it as performed by Home Free. It is even more deeply moving than the original for me. One of those pieces of music that gets right down into your soul and you will NEVER forget it.
