I’m 15 and I lost my dad in august. I remember warm summer nights sitting outside listening to this song among others. He would always tell me that when he passed every time I here this song I’d think of him. I wasn’t expecting to lose him so soon. Cancer is a terrible thing. It slowly destroys you from the inside out. Watching him fade away until he was just a skeleton of his old self is the hardest thing I’ve ever witnessed. This song helps me to remember the dad I loved, the happy, loving, smart man that raised me. I don’t like to remember him in the later stages of cancer, that wasn’t him. I miss you dad... I’d give everything to have you back for even a second :’/

I am 32 years old now. I was merely 21 when I was deployed to Afghanistan. Next to me sat a younger boy -none of us were men then, men know what they're doing, we didn't- named Alex. He was only 19. Alex was an orphan, just another lost soul sent to fight for a country that never cared for neither him, neither any soul it sent to its doom. Alex and I began nervously talking and before the plane landed, we were inseparable. We became the closest of friends over the course of our time in Afghanistan, we had to learn to kill and accept death. It wasn't easy, nothing was, but at least, in the middle of all the crap that went on, we had formed a friendship, a friendship so strong I dare say it was almost a brotherhood. I loved Alex both as a friend and as the younger brother I never had -and apparently was never meant to have. I felt responsible for him, felt like I had to teach him things I didn't even know myself. Most of all I cared for that boy more than I cared for myself. Alex died 11 years ago today. He dove on an Afghan grenade, saving my life and 12 others. Born a zero and died a fucking hero. The word "hero" is the least I can say to describe him. But they didn't talk about him on tv, they didn't give him a medal and they just forgot about him. Just another lost soul never finding its way. I was sent home a little after all that. A taxi took me from the airport and took me back to my family. This is the first song that played on the taxi ride. Needless to say, I burst out crying right then and there. I had lost people in my life, but nothing hurt more than the loss of Alex. Thinking about it years later, I believe that this song playing on the radio was a signal from Alex up in the sky, telling me that he finally found his peace beside God, and telling me not to worry about him and go on with my life. Anyway, wherever you are, Alex, I miss you, my brother in arms... RIP Alex 09/09/2010.

I know it’s not the same but I just wanna say it. My father said *”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* *My brother in arms.”* At his best friends funeral which he has known since he was a 7 year old boy as well as his other friend. They grew up in a small village in Congo which people found odd when he tells them about it because he is white but he is Belgian and they had colonised Congo so I assume it’s why they were there, he is now 53. They called themselves the 3 musketeers, Kris(*the one who has died*),Lawrence my dads other best friend and my dad Thierry. The 3 of them went to school together, shared a room with each other at boarding school. They all grew up together. Everything they did they did together. His father was an abusive alcoholic and died when my father was 9 while his mom was in hospital with cancer which she overcame but died 3 years later from TB so he didn’t really ever have family, but he told me that the 3 of them were brothers. Whether they were blood or not. After school they would go down to the river and get on their little wooden sail boat that they borrowed from a local fisherman with a few friends. There were crocodiles and hippos there but they didn’t care, they were young and foolish but they had fun. One of his friends had a brother who had gone missing, 3 days later one of his arms were found on the banks of the river(irrelevant, I know). The 3 musketeers later went to Belgium to finish their studies so they could make it one day, when they had finished they all moved to South Africa because they missed Africa, but it wasn’t the same kind of Africa. When they came here they had very little money so the 3 of them rented a small apartment and stayed in it together. They searched tirelessly for jobs and my dad and Kris found jobs here, they both became engineers, the other friend Lawrence went back to Belgium because he couldn’t get one here and later found one there. Kris introduced my mom to my dad and he is the reason I,my brother and my sister exist. He was the one who had wanted a family the most out of the 3 of them, he had many girlfriends in the past , he ended up finding the right one who unfortunately may not have been and they got engaged and a few months later she died in a car accident. Years past, my dad and Kris had some fights and didn’t see each other for a few months but they resolved their problems. He finally found the person who would become his wife and start a family with. They tried many times to have children but she had some problem with her which was preventing her from getting pregnant, they went to doctors and tried to sort out the problems and after some time they finally managed to have children, 2 daughters 1 year difference in age. The 3 musketeers still saw each other often even tho the one lives in Belgium who also has a family of his own now and the other lives almost 2 hours from us. They all made it and were successful in life but Kris seemed to be an unlucky man, he then got COVID when working on some project in Congo which is ironic. The last time the 3 of them were together was 2 years ago because of COVID/ lockdown. Lawrence and his family came here because it was Kris’s 50th birthday. That was the last time we saw Kris. He died on the 16th of August 2, 2021, 2 days before my dads birthday and the same day my dad had a heart attack 7 years ago. After being in hospital fighting COVID for nearly 2 months, my mom called me to come downstairs and I had the feeling something was wrong and I saw my mom and dad standing in the kitchen, they told me that Kris had died just before my mom started crying, my dad tried to act strong like always but at the dinner table halfway through dinner he just started crying, I had never seen my dad cry in my entire life, I am 17. He had multiple infections and organ failures and my father wasn’t allowed to visit him but it would have been pointless because towards the end he was tired and looked deathly ill and was mostly sedated, a week before he died his wife went there and kept telling him he will be fine and he will make it but with the little strength he had , he shook his head and said no his wife Charlene told us, he asked to see his girls who are 5 and 6 but they weren’t allowed in. They are now currently with us as his wife is suicidal and has gone to some institute to try and get help because she doesn’t know how to carry on.The girls don’t seem to understand what death is and that he isn’t coming back because they say “my daddy died and that’s why we aren’t at home but we waiting for mommy and daddy to come back” They don’t seem to be upset but they keep saying they miss mommy and daddy which hurts me to hear and I think it hurts my dad more as his friend isn’t here but his 2 daughters are and they will grow up without knowing their father like my dad did. My dad had to carry the coffin and do the eulogy which is when at the end he said those words because Brothers in arms was Kris’s favourite song. But now *The 3 musketeers are no more*. I am writing this with tears in my eyes as I find it very upsetting, I had to watch the funeral online as your are only allowed 50 people in a venue. My dad put his hand on his coffin and patted it and said something which he says is just for Kris. The rest Kris’s family couldn’t fly here because of restrictions so they had to do a funeral in Belgium without the coffin. We had to watch it online. Lawrence did the eulogy too but he broke down at the end. It was in french so I couldn’t understand but my dad could. He was very upset for the rest of that day and didn’t say a word, I think it re enforced the fact that he is gone and there is no changing it and you can’t do anything. My dad is now depressed and he doesn’t know what to do with his life which is upsetting for me and my family but the words he said in the eulogy *“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* *My brother in arms.”* I will always remember those words. My dad has tears in his eyes when he listens to this song now. He says when it’s his turn he wants his song to be *Blood Brothers* By Bruce Springsteen because Lawrence will be the last one. Rip Kris. I know it’s not the same, I don’t know what it is like for you as I didn’t go to war and lose someone I was so close too like that so abruptly and in a way like that, and then for him to not even get the recognition that he deserved but I’m sure the people he has saved will always remember what he did and will forever be grateful as they were able to return to their families because of his sacrifice. Many people have gone to early before their lives even really started and it isn’t fair. I have never had a friendship or a bond like you guys have so I will unfortunately never know.

This song reminds me of my grandfather, who survived the Spanish Civil War. During the War he made friends that he kept throughout his life. Only they knew what they had experienced. Whatever it is, I hope I never have to experience it myself. After the war was over, they always tried to keep in touch, but because of the distance, they rarely saw each other. With one of them, however, they saw each other once a year. When he was older and could no longer drive, it was my father who accompanied him. The last time they met, they were both very old and they knew, they were aware, that this was probably the last time. In the midst of a disconsolate cry, they melted into an embrace full of infinite friendship. Everyone in that room cried in the same way, overcome by the same feeling. Surely, now that distance is not a problem, they see each other every day.

Having been a soldier, and gone to war, this song absolutely resonates to me. My Regimental colleagues were my brothers in arms, but actually the enemy also were, in a sense. They’d been sent there by politicians, and so had we. And we had respect for them. Just ordinary fellows, doing what they’d been told to do.

He loved this song, and this band. We listened to it together over the years since I was just a little girl, and it will always make me feel like he never left me.

A few years back me and my dad were driving in the van on Remembrance Sunday. We were listening to radio 2, and as it approached 11 o'clock, they had a 2 minutes silence and the Big Ben bongs, they then slowly faded in Brothers in Arms. What a moment.

This came on in the car today (18th November) and it made me realise that, with all of the other things going on in the world at the moment, I had not taken particular note this year of Armistice Day, which made me feel sad and guilty. Then I realised that the people that we are honouring would probably far rather hear this than two minutes of silence, so I skipped it back to the start, cranked it up, and took the long way home: It is because of their sacrifice that I could do this. As a free civilian: Thank you and your Brothers & Sisters for your sacrifices.

The minimal-yet-deep lyrics, the almost-whispered singing as if mourning a loved one, the crying guitar riffs that sting the heart in perfect contrast to the restrained singing, the church-like synth cords, the soft drumming and caressing bass line - all accompanied by one of the classiest animation-videos of all times... this is the ultimate lamentation on the sheer display of human stupidity which we call war.

you are an incredibly sensitive piece of art.

I was five when my eldest brother went to Viet Nam. He came back - but was always a broken man. This song gets to me with its beautiful lyrics and haunting melody.

Ogni volta che la riascolto ho i brividi. Per me uno dei pezzi più belli di sempre in assoluto. Sia per testo che per musica

Stop asking who's listening in 2020. We never left.

Have a look at THE ROYAL MARINES BROTHERS IN ARMS SONG they are on KZread..

I always had a special view of this song: My great-grandfather fought in WW2. One day, he got really sick (the flu or whatever), and was send to a field hospital a few kilometers away. He recovered unusually fast and as he was on the way back to the frontline, he was told that his whole Platoon had been killed. He saw his disease as some kind of miracle, but was of course still devastated. The lyrics represent exactly what he must have gone through, and him getting sick is the only reason I'm alive today, what always comes into my mind when listening to this

Your beautiful comment brought me to tears. My dad fought in WW2. He had stacks of books on the subject, and it was like he was trying to find a reason, or an answer he could live with. He was captured and was a prisoner of war. The only thing he ever told me was that he accidentally shot a woman. It haunted him. I so wish he was still alive so I could tell him how much I love him.

Your comment strikes my heart. My father was in WWII. He broke his ankle when the Jeep he was a passenger in rolled into a ditch. His platoon went on. When he recovered, he was assigned to guard German POWs because he spoke some German. We read many books about WWII together and would discuss them. I don't think that he could ever process the whole thing. I wonder would I have even existed but for a car accident. I also wonder why we humans cannot learn from history.
