Just perfect, as it always was. The music, the lyrics, the pace and rhythm, the BAND!!!, Emmylou and Mark. May you play forever.

As a former French officer that got bitter about his government's policies, this song has always been talking directly to my feelings. It captures the horrors of war, the glory of the battles and the bitterness that this combination leads to. Soldiers some time realize that there's something fundamentally wicked in training so hard in discipline, honor, tradition, service and sacrifice to put what we are at the service of people who are the opposite of these values. Thanks Mark Knopfler for, in two words, underlying the beauty of France "the flower of the Aquitaine", the region I lived most of my life. If we should change our national anthem, I believe "Done with Bonaparte" should be candidate, as a warning to all politicians, gurus, clergymen or any other kind of power thirsty tyrants that we are done with them.

That's one of the things that I love about him, telling these stories. Like his "Sailing to Philadelphia"! Tells a true story about US history that l never heard! He taught journalism before he had success with his music, and that maybe explains why his songs tell us our stories. "Brothers ln Arms" is about the Falklands 'war'.

Yes , the "Little Big Man" committed horrors , as many other people with the sin of pride , but he is also the man who brought out his nation of the misery , straightened France as no one had ever done before by giving it laws that are still applied in all constitutions around the world. He was a genius in many ways. This is why he will always be a source of pride for my country and in the heart of every French person.

What an incredible song. I love the sound of Mark and Emmylou’s voices singing together is wonderful. Thank you so much for your music.

I saw this band on the Roadrunning tour in Washington, DC. The musicians in this group were among the best I've ever seen & heard live. This version of Bonaparte is fabulous.

My grandson is studying Napoleonic battles,and I wanted him to hear this great song.

I have never served in the military, but grew up in a military family and have spent my life studying Napoleon and other great generals. This song never fails to bring me to tears. Just goes to show that War is not just hell on the killing fields, but in the hearts of those that served. "Every subject's duty is the king's; but every subject's soul is his own." Henry V. God Bless the servicemen and the bards that tell their tales long after the dust of their bones has settled.
