Yep touch the long grass and remember.

Many years ago, I was a high school teacher in a very small town. We were going over World War 1. I played this song on the final day of the unit. Normally the class was loud and chatty - just like normal sophomores. I remember that I had a teacher's aide, a very nice woman in her 30's who was very interested in this era and my approach to teaching this. At the end of the song, you could have heard a pin drop in the class. Dead quiet. The aide had tears streaming down her face. I will never forget this. War is a terrible thing in the human condition. This song brings that to light. Thank you.

Firstly, don’t take this as a rebuttal of how you and everyone (mostly) view the song. I come from a Quaker family and my grandfather was a conscientious objector on an ambulance train during WW1. His only regret? Not being a combatant in the war…. As Quakers we absorb the blame for not volunteering (and ignore) doesn’t matter it’s a conscious decision. The regret my grandfather had is different and challenging to reconcile with today’s narrative. Nonetheless, I still feel in a conscious, and probably subconscious way, that his view albeit without context has merit. In biblical terms turn the other other cheek until your fellow humans suffer disproportionately as a result.

"War raging in Ukraine" - yep ethnic Russians have been killed in their thousands there for a long time. That's what you are referring to, I assume?

what a legend , that snares make the goosebumps jump on your back jesus

A wholly unique, different class of guitar musicianship unlike any other. A guitarist for the ages.

I served in the Argentine Air Force. This is the best anthem for everyone and every soldier in the world. The color of the flag does not matter, only the memory of their relatives , friends and the tears with which I accompany each time I hear this beautiful song

Pure ermotion ...Mark's totally taken in a tearful interpretation that seems to show his heart bleeding.... i adoore this song ... thanks, Mark, for sharing with us your emotions your talent your life... 💝

This work of art is quite loaded with imagery and emotion, Pointed yet vague, dripping with character to the point of tears, we are fully involved in the mess and the drama.

Ghoosebombs, everytime when i hear his Song Brother in Arms. I hear his music since i am 14. Now I am 52. And his Music and Guitar playing touch me. One of the greatest Artist since the 80'th for me

In 1981, back when we were just kids, Making Movies was the go to album for me and my mates. Man, they were good days. In December 1985 I took a train from South Devon to London. I bought a ticket from a tout to see Dire Straits at Hammersmith Odeon. In June 1988 I was at Wembley Stadium for the Nelson Mandela gig when Eric Clapton played rhythm guitar. I saw Mark doing solo tours two or three more times over the next 20 odd years. And I was at this gig in The Albert Hall in 2019. I shared the planet with this man and his amazing music. I am one lucky, lucky bastard.

Mi piace pensare che, soprattutto col passare del tempo, questa canzone il mitico Mark non la canti neppure piu' per il pubblico che lo acclama ma veramente la canti per tutti i soldati di tutte le guerre nel Mondo! Grazie Mark!

Mark K is such a genius. Guitar and vocals. Such a gentle giant amongst us.

Can't watch this on Memorial Day weekend without someone chopping onions close by. It hits you, no matter how tough you think you are.

When guys like Mark Knopfler eventually pass from this world, who out of the next generations is capable of replacing them? I can't think of anyone with even 1% of his talent.
