My take on the 'message' of this song is the young men who fight and die in battle have more in common with the soldiers on the other side than they do with the men who sent them to war. "We are fools to make war on our Brother's in Arms," the last line of the song about says it all.

Mark Knopfler's maternal grandfather was an English Protestant, his paternal grandfather, an Austrian Jew. Both being patriotic, loyal to their respective homelands, they fought on opposite sides in World War One. So, yes, they made war on their "brothers in arms". 😢

Dire Straits had 2 lead vocalists...Mark Knopfler and Mark Knopfler's guitar. Absolutely beautiful song, heart-wrenching lyrics.

Mark Knopfler's vocals and weeping guitar synced up with the keyboards, along with that rim shot makes this a Master's Piece. For me it transcends the military and applies to any group in a sink-or-swim situation. "We're fools to make war on our Brothers In Arms"
Reminds me of my dad. He served in Vietnam , when he came back he was broken empty, he was 22 when he came home , addicted as so many did , and still fighting it today ( they were given morphine to keep if they needed it ,) he wasn't physically injured but when he left he was a 18 yr old from rural GA , he hardly slept , this reminds me of him so much , it's painfully beautiful , and dire straits are amazing x

Allegedly they both play on Bryan Ferry's Slave to love? On a closer listen I can guess why
One in the most played songs at British serving and ex military personnel funerals, it is a very important song for many of us this was written about the '82 Falklands war, but all nationalities from all military actions can relate to this, even those that served 60 - 70 years ago. Unless you've been there you'll never understand the torment, of the sights and sounds and smell of a battlefield. Some of the most stirring lyrics for me are; Through these fields of destruction, Baptisms of fire I've witnessed your suffering As the battle raged higher And though they did hurt me so bad In the fear and alarm You did not desert me My brothers in arms Now the sun's gone to hell and The moon's riding high Let me bid you farewell Every man has to die
There are a few people in this world that play guitar like its the first thing they learned as a baby. He really expresses emotions through his playing. Great guitarist and song writer.
For any former servicemen who've been under fire at any point, this song carries a tremendous amount of weight. It's a brilliant piece of songwriting, and Mark Knopfler is a genius with a guitar. Check out more Dire Straits, anything. It's all good.

Brad & Lex, you'll love their "Walk of Life", "So Far Away" and "Romeo And Juliet"!!! "Walk Of Life" is so catchy, you'll be saying "Woohoo-hoo" for a week!
I am a Vietnam Vet & know only to well the stark reality of that conflict. I was 19 years old & went from the safe haven of my parent's home to what felt like Hell. I lost school mates who never saw their 21st birthday & watched their parent's lives forever changed & watched politicians try to make self serving gains on the corpses of ''brothers in arms''. I was lucky. I came home but struggled with ''survivor's guilt'' to this day & I am 71 years old.
This song was written around the time of the Falkland Islands War (between Britain and Argentina in 1982), Mark Knopfler (Lead singer/writer/lead guitar) did not serve in it, but he almost certainly knew people who did. The term "Brothers in arms" is one his father (a socialist Hungarian Jew who escaped the Nazis by fleeing to Britain in 1939) used. During the second world war Mark's Uncle Freddie, who was a piper in the Black Watch, was killed at the age of 20 holding back Nazis so that the British could escape during the Dunkirk evacuation. Mark Knopfler wrote a song about him called Piper to the End. This song was released in 2009 on one of his many solo albums "Get Lucky"
This was nice, but Dire Straits is a band that needs to be heard live. Brothers In Arms, Sultans of Swing, Tunnel of Love, Telegraph Road....all outstanding live!
This song hit my soul on the 2nd season of Miami Vice. It still brings tears to my eyes,
I agree with Brad that the Guitar was the Life of the Song - and yes Lex it sounded like it was crying - but the tone was also beautiful at the same time
I've heard this song a million times, but it never occured to me that the guitar might be crying. respect
Amazing song.....goose bumps all over! next: "Private Investigation".....one of their very best!!!!
Such a great song. The crying guitar is ear candy.
My best friend is a veteran of a couple of wars, and he really relates to this song!
Per Songfacts This song was inspired by the Falklands War, which was going on when Dire Straits lead singer Mark Knopfler wrote the song. The Falklands War was a conflict between Argentina and the UK over islands off the coast of Argentina that each country claimed rights to. The islands are British territories, but in 1982 Argentina tried to reclaim one of the islands. Britain reclaimed their territories, but lost 258 soldiers in the conflict. In this song, Mark Knopfler sings about a soldier who is dying on the battlefield, surrounded by his comrades, who remain by his side as he slips away. It's a look at the folly of war and the plight of those who fight them. "We've got just one world but we live in different ones," he told the BBC. "It's just stupid, it really is. We're just foolish to take part in anybody's war."

Жыл бұрын
Argentina didn't try to "reclaim" any of the Falklands, they were an aggressive invader of territory that has been British since before Argentina existed as a nation. The Falklands were completely uninhabited prior to the first British settlers arriving, the invasion was a cynical ploy by a military government to deflect attention away from serious problems at home. That said, it's a fabulous song.

@@650Max The Falklands had been colonized by the French and the Spanish as well. The Spanish were the last ones there before Argentina laid claim to the islands in 1816, and the islands had been completely uninhabited for 5 years before Argentina made their claim - the British colonists having left the islands almost 40 years prior. Argentina held it for 16 years, before the British attacked. Since the Argentinian contingent there was mainly British mercenaries, they surrendered rather than fighting the motherland. Argentina claimed an uninhabited piece of land that held two plaques; one claiming the land for England, one claiming it for Spain. Then the British decided that theirs was the rightful claim on the islands thousands of kilometres away - basically holding the islands out of spite, since it hadn't been economically viable to stick around the first time they were there. Yes, Argentina invaded the Falklands in 1982, in order to draw attention from internal problems; but the British were not innocent.

I 100% regret joining the armed forces, it's a mugs game. As one soldier once said - "war is a racket" .... Only the arms dealers come out looking golden.
The word you're looking for Lex is "Wailing" only a handful of people on the planet can make a guitar "wail like a baby" like this, It's almost primal, David Gilmour and Mark Knopfler are two of them

Telegraph Road… literally my favourite song by one of The Absolute very best… bands ever! Dire Straits music runs the gamut.. humour, depth, pathos.. all done brilliantly! Masterful!❣
This song is one of my favorites. Along with Telegraph Road, Private Investigations and, Romeo and Juliet. Great tunes, lyrics and Mark's style of playing make them like eating a gourmet meal. Loved the reaction! Peace!
Rarely can a guitarist convey emotion like he does in this song…. Epic.
This song is raw grief made into music. You don't want to hear it but once you do, you can't help but listen. Such beautiful, cruel sorrow...
The guitar sounds like a mournful wail to me. The whole song, from the voice to the amazing guitar, is perfection.
I was blessed to see Mark Knopfler life here in Germany in 2010. He did a whole concert sitting on a bar chair, cuz he hurt his back. There were about 10.000 people in the venue, but you could hear a leaf fall (almost). An atmosphere as if he was sitting in your living room playing just for you. Goosebumps from start to end and even my parents who are in their eighties! love him. Hes just a legend!
This song is a masterpiece, just like Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen), Bridge over troubled water (Simon & Garfunkel) and very few other songs. Theoretically you don't need lyrics, but the guitar alone tells the whole story of the song, as wonderful as Mark Knopfler plays it.
Two of my favourite reactors!!!! Through these fields of destruction......baptisms of fire Such a class song!!!!!

Dire Straits were HUUUUUGE in the 80's , huge , the sound track of my youth . I remember this one clearly but the "Love over Gold" album was played till it wore out in my house . Also the song "Rollergirl" was an early favourite , and "Romeo and Juliet" can still bum me out .
Transition from the rifle to guitar was awesome
Dude, that's the most I've ever heard Brad talk about emotion in the song ever.
There's so many different worlds so many different suns and we have just one world but we live in different one's. That says it all. And Now the suns gone to hell and the moons riding high. Let me bid you farewell every mans has to die. This line brings tears to my eyes every time just makes me think of all the brave men and woman who gave there lives so we could live in peace and freedom today!
"Brothers in Arms" has become a favourite at military funerals. "Brothers in Arms" won a Grammy Award for Best Music Video at the 29th Annual Grammy Awards on 24 February 1987.
Dire Straits was my favorite non-hard rock band of the 80's, Great musicians, and wonderful long jams on some of the songs..Knopfler is a superstar and has branched out after Dire Straits into other types of music..this album was a statement album about events in the world at the time, (including MTV) It's not their best , (Making Movies is their best legendary main- stream non- hard-rock album along with Mellencamp's Scarecrow from the 80's .. at least in my eyes) The first album set the stage.. but would take any of their albums in the late 70's - 80's) This song was a cry.. for all of those not with us anymore through war.. you hit it on the nail.. need more of this band for reactions!!!
I am old enough to remember when this came out and it still is a punch in the gut when i hear it. "Now the sun's gone to hell and The moon's riding high Let me bid you farewell Every man has to die" Brutal.

There's so many different worlds...so many different suns...and we have just one world...but we live in different ones. Sooooooo good!!! Probably the most underrated song of all time.
Brilliant. Simply brilliant. Knopfler is a top lyricist, arranger and a superb guitarist. You should check out his solo hits.... Start with Done With Bonaparte.
Im a vet. This song, parts of the movie, Jarhead, and some lines from the Chernobyl tv series episode The Happiness of All Mankind are three things I relate to a lot.
In 1985 I saw my favorite concert EVER with Stevie Ray Vaughan opening up for Dire Straits when this album came out
This song is a masterpiece written by lead guitarist Mark Knopfler. Spot on Lex the guitar is crying. For me the greatest anti war song ever written. Thanks for reacting to this. There is lots of amazing dire straights material and they are even better live. Take care and best wishes from the UK.
I'm so pleased you've arrived at this song. You're right, it's full of raw emotion, and the guitar cuts deep down into the soul. Respect and honour to all those worldwide, who step forward to serve their country.
GREAT tune. You two kids are nailing it with the oldies. Funny, they weren't oldies when I first heard them.
Outstanding
The entire Brothers in Arms album is a masterpiece. Playing the SACD with a 5.1 surround system is on another level
The second half of the live (Alchemy) version of Sultans of Swing is on another level, far better than the studio version. The other guys really hit the Mark (pun intended) as well!
Spot on Lex what you said about other soldiers being the only ones who can relate as I imagine that’s what Mark Knopfler means when he says there is just one world but “we live in different ones” and which was the line you heard immediately after making that comment.
Mark Knopfler (lead singer and person who wrote the song) was not a military man but he wrote the song as a tribute to the British soldiers during the Falklands war.
Mark is a lot like David Gilmour. Both make their guitars sing. Very emotional and beautiful.
Lex would go nuts over Nobody’s Fault But Mine!
So many good songs to mention from them. To kick off with a few: Telegraph Road, Private Investigations, Romeo and Juliet.
Yeah. I feel exactly the same. The guitar is the voice/cry/lament/... of the human life being heard even with such sad ambient sound all around. That expressive guitar is already a common theme in dire straits music.
one of the few songs i need to listen to on remembrance(armistice) day along with a pittance of time, stories of a hero, and flanders field
One of the best lyrically written songs in history in my opinion Incredibly moving listening to the lyrics that suck you into the story
I've twice had the privilege of being in the room when Mark Knopfler played this song. Just amazing. If you want to hear guitars crying, try Elton John's 'I've Seen That Movie Too' - not a hit but a wonderful song, and the guitars at the end are howling with pain.
One of the most solid albums ever made.
Brothers in Arms was the album I listened to on my way to America
Hi guys!. It is always a great pleasure to watch your videos. Dire Straits is a band that is on my list. His songs are amazing. And this one in particular is my favorite. Thank you for this.
SKATEAWAY and Romeo & Juliet.... are two more from Dire Straits that you have to check out.
I hope you continue down the dire straights rabbit hole. They have some amazing music
"Piper to the End" and "True Love Will Never Fade" by Mark Knopfler are two songs that are under played but both are must listens to.
With we don’t understand the past, we will die like brother in the arms but stand sitting.
nobody has that sound - but Dire Straits. They got their own thing mastered.
An underrated band to be sure, great song
I love playing this song on guitar. gibson les paul on the neck pick up, through a 2555 1987 marshall with the wah pedal on and set half way and some delay and no plectrum, play with fingers. Lots of subtle volume control with the volume knob. There is a phenomenal version of this live in 1993 in London on youtube.
I love this song. Their best imo
When you need some chill time, you put this on along with "Private Investigations ", off the same album.
This entire album is a piece of art.
Mark K is a hell of a songwriter.
The Knopf plays with his hands (no plectrum) and thinks the less is the best. Very warm, unique sound, you must love.
