So sorry to hear this.

Yes nicely said, it is art of course and a master piece, and now we have “One Deep River” to drool over.

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 😔.

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.

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.

😢

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.

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

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. 🤣🤣

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

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 🙏

💙

💖💖🙏

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.

Truly the greatest of all time!

The lyrics on this song requires silence itself. It is such a beautiful tribute to the brave ones.

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

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…

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.

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

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.

There are times I hear it each day ...

I was about to type these exact words!

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..

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

​@@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.

Magistrale interprétation !!

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".

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.

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.

Yeah me too! It reaches way down deep to places I've not been in decades, and taps into those memories and feelings otherwise inaccessible. Amazing stuff.

Does for me as well - I can never seem to find the words but your comment does it well!

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.

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 ⭐️

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!

For me, Jerry Garcia would join these guys. All great. ☮️

Yes...like me

Dave takes the top spot for me, but Mark is right behind him.

Mark, David..... Jimmy hendrix, gary moore, brian may, Erik clapton, Satriani... The list goes on and on... Even many streetmusicans play like god made them to play the guitar on purpose... Theres so much feeling... U just gotta catch it.

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

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.

Gran reflexión, antes de las cumbres de la OTAN, UE.....les vendría bien

Some world leaders don't care about our brothers, but their own wealth. Which is exactly why those of us who care have to stay vigilant in trying times. Remain caring.

These lyrics are profound. The leaders of the world that are greedy and belligerent don't have the wisdom of Mark.

The so called "world leaders" are the cause of ALL the destruction and strife around the world! There are only a very small number that have strived to keep World Peace... and Trump is one of them. 😔 So of course they want to condem and destroy him.
