Respect from Hamburg Germany for Singing and Fighting 60 Years for Peace and Justice in these cruel World.Joan you are an Angel sent by GOD.A Warrior of Peace!!! GOD bless you and your Sisters Mimi Farina.
@@williambelford9661 while the song might be inspired by the Falklands conflict, it's clearly intended as a song about soldiers in any war on both sides. many videos feature footage from both world wars, and Vietnam.
When I was going to Vietnam, Joan was protesting, but with style. I loved the lady and the music, then , and she is still just as beautiful inside and out now, as then.
I swear that Joan Baez should be a saint. Her dedication, her continuous non- violent protests, her voice and her quest for peace, are unsurpassed by anyone on earth. God bless you Joan Baez and thank you for everything you have given us!!!!!
sie ist vor allen Dingen normal geblieben, obwohl sie mit völlig abgedrehten Typen zusammen ihr Leben gestaltet hat. Sie ist glaubwürdig in ihrer Aussage und in dem was ihre Lieder ausdrücken. Insbesondere das Mitgefühl, was ihr dem Cellisten in Sarajevo ausgedruckt hat. Not und Leid hat sie nie zu Ihrem Vorteil genutzt, sondern immer der Hoffnung auf eine bessere Welt.
Once every five years or so I stumble upon a song that actually makes me cry. This is one of them. A stunningly beautiful performance. Joan looks and sings like an angel and one can only dream of the emotional impact this would have with Mark's guitar added on top. I'm truly grateful to have heard this.
You can only dream ? It’s on his album ! Easily found anywhere. It is my funeral song, she has a good voice but the original is phenomenal, so superior on every level.
OMFG,,,, 47, ex service and sat here blubbing like a frikkin baby,, this song has meaning to me and to hear it sang like this, it really is , im lost for friggin words ,, so will end it at that,, love this version,,
Jimmy Cricket Lopez, I believe you are paid for your job also. Soldiers made our lifestyle a life of choice! Thank you to all who served so we that we may have freedom
you and every vet has earned those tears. Shed them proudly! My hope for all of you is that the rest of your life is filled with good health, happiness and longevity.
60 Jahre soziales Engagement mit glasklarer Stimme u. herrlichem Gitarrenspiel, Das ist einmalig auf dieser Welt! Deine Musik begleitet mich schon das ganze Leben. Dir noch ein langes gesundes Leben. Danke Joan Baez!!!
Congrats, Dr. Lee, or returning home and making something of yourself. My brothers, twins, both served, one for two years as an FO, first on the ground and then in the air, and the other for 18 months flying slicks. Each made a career of flying choppers, then, first as oil workers in the Middle East, then as forestry workers fighting fires, and lastly as civilian medivacs. I'm as proud of you as I am of them, sir.
Joan Baez. Dire Straits. I was a student of the Catholic University of Lublin ( only one private college in the entire Soviet bloc). She visited us just for a very short time ( 30 minutes) and sang this beautiful song with a few more. Everybody was happy. Every body was crying. She gave us Hope! She gave us Love! I still can't imagine how she did it? It was 1984 : Martial Law in communist Poland! People was dying. She even met Lech Walesa, Solidarity leader in Gdansk. Between Gdansk and Lublin was distance travel like 6-7 hours! Joan is not even amazing Artist, but truly a human being. Never had chance to say "Thank you, Joan!" ... so over 3 millions views now. Maybe one day she will read it ?
AS someone who has been in the forces, this song brings tears to my eyes. Joan gives it justice. No complicated lyrics with hidden undertones, just simple words that mean so much to us. Friends I have lost and live in different worlds now---to me anyway.
This morning (12/25/16) I saw the ESPN 30 for 30 episode: Once Brothers about Yugoslavia, Serbo-Croatia. Vlade Divac and Drazen Petrovic. (I was a peace-time Russian linguist). So after the show, I went out to the lake for a cigarette. The first guy to walk by had a basketball jersey on. The 2nd guy was a Russian from Moscow. I could tell by his accent that he was almost for sure Slavic, so I asked him in Russian what country he was from. We spoke for a moment, enjoyed a good chuckle over a joke that one of my schoolmates had made about peace-time "spies". Peace.
Une grande dame... Engagée qui sait si bien chanter l'amour... Un moment inoubliable au campo santo de Perpignan! Plus qu'une voix une belle âme! Merci pour ce moment...
This album was newly out when I was in US Paratrooper training. We all stood at the head busters bar jukebox and listened, beer in hand. There was a silence as this song played and we all knew right away that this was our song.
Wonderful voice. She sang beautifully about all of our suffering under oppression. But Mark Knopfler’s creation is a lesson on any voice you can think of. Thanks to both of them
C'est si beau 🎉elle fait partie da.ma jeunesse aux années 60 et 70 merci Joan Baez de ta douce voix et tes mélodies qui noys emballent 😊 d'ici du Portugal
This would never be played on major radio today....such a shame the culture has settled for hip hop crap etc as mainstream choice of music. If not for auto tune most singers today could not carry a tune......
When you have a voice as rich as this lady's you dont need a guitar solo, but having said that can you imagine her and Knopfler doing this song together. Excellent song
Her and Knopfler together would be interesting. Knopfler would be surprisingly understated unless she gave him room for a short solo. He's a gentleman and a great artist.
Seit 3 Jahrzehnten mit Herz und Hirn bei Ihr und bei mir. Brothers in arms is my live. Wie schön und wunderbar, dass es sie bis heute für mich und uns gibt! We all love she! In Austria, we have so much love to her!
What an idea. That would be a meeting of, possibly, the sweetest electric guitar sound of all time and, most likely, the sweetest folk rock voice ever on planet earth. It might be almost too good.
Mark Knopfler can play guitar like few others with a voice which matches Guitar George, often just pure emotion, but Joan Baez's voice is just pure honey dripping with emotion - Knopfler's raw vocals taken somewhere else. Stunning, absolutely breathtaking.
Erreur, ce n'est pas Mark Knopfler qui est a l'origine de la chanson, Elle a été écrite par dire en 1982 (guerre des Malouines) Ce tube a été reprise par Mark et Johan Baezz
WOW! im into heavy metal and guitar bands but this lovely woman really moves me, she still has that lovely voice from all those years ago . now we have two perfect versions of that amazing beautiful song
Me also Metal-Head (mostly, not all the time). Her performance on the Silent Running- Soundtrack is taking my breath away every time. Of course this one too! There are only very few singers that can touch my heart and make me (almost) cry... 👍
This song is one of my favorites. And Joan Baez has one of the greatest voices I ever heard. That broughts me tears in my eyes even if I'm not sure to understand all the lyrics.
Music and art can't change the world. Except in the minds that receive it. So many people are blind to feeling and empathy but once in a while something bursts through. This is so strong and will hopefully touch someone who was unaware.
"There's so many different worlds So many different suns And we have just one world But we live in different ones" How wonderful are those words . When humans would understand that the world is one!
One of the greatest songs ever written. You could pick any one of a hundred people to sing this and it would still sound incredible. Amazing how someone can sit and put something like this together.
While I was fighting with my brothers in arms against russia for our independence I listened this song many times. And I remembered my lioved city - Dnipro
Stunning rendition of my most beloved Dire Straits song. Her heavenly voice brings in so many emotions, just like Mark Knopfler does, both in different, very moving ways. The last farewell of a dying soldier cuts deeply into the heart of soul.
Summer 1968, I was 12, started to learn English. The teacher told us the fastest way to learn new vocabularies was to listen to songs. My first English song was " Dona, Dona", sung by her.
I didn't think I'd hear a performance of this song to compare with the Dire Straits 1985 album version but I should have known better. The amazing Joan Baez brings the spirit of the 1960s into a 1980s song and makes it timeless.
I have loved this lady, her beautiful voice since her beginning in the era of folk music along with Peter,Paul, and Mary, Simon and Garfunkel, and other of the ‘60’s and time of the Viet Nam era and still now in the 2024 year, GOD bless her always
Recuerdo a esta cantante y hoy la redescubro porque mi madre la escuchaba cuando yo era pequeño , que hermosa voz y que lindas letras interpreta!!!!!!!!!!!!
As big Dire straits fan I would like to see Joan Baez and Mark Knopfler singing togerher this song. She just took the song and she made it in her way, she put passion and the result is amazing.
its ok, but i dont think an emotional vocal like this suits the song, I've hardly heard any cover of MK or DS that does it better. This song would be nothing without the minimalistic chill vocals of the legend:)
About the soldiers in the Falkland Islands. England's Vietnam, these men trying to figure out the insanity they had been through, orders versus morality, and in the end the respect they had for each other as they walked away from it. The isolation they all felt or put themselves through after, and that no matter how different you are from the guy you were shoulder to shoulder with in combat, the bond of respect and forgiveness is still something you can not describe.
These mist-covered mountains Are a home now for me But my home is the lowlands And always will be Some day you'll return to Your valleys and your farms And you'll no longer burn To be brothers in arms Through these fields of destruction Baptisms of fire I've witnessed your suffering As the battle raged high And though they did hurt me so bad In the fear and alarm You did not desert me My brothers in arms There's so many different worlds So many different suns And we have just one world But we live in different ones Now the sun's gone to hell And the moon 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 We're fools to make war On our brothers in arms
faux que you've missed the point....stay where you are and be grateful, cause i'm not when i have to read this kind of nonsense....fuck democracy with narrow mind like yours
"Democracy" is a myth, just like any other ideology on paper vs. how thing operate. Noone ever was "equal", standing on stolen land with stolen labor smug as bug in rug
Joan use to buy tickets from me at a little bass outlet in Palo Alto. I got to know her a little. She’s a wonderful kind lady. I’m sad I never got to play music with her. She offered to jam a little but I had too much on my plate at the time. The last time I saw her she said take care Tommy, you’re a good egg. I miss her
Felkavaró, nagyszerű élmény meghallgatni ezt a nagyszerű, szép, szomorú dalt. Sokadszor szorítja el a torkom, szívem.... Bravo. Best regards from Hungary, Middle Europe.
Respect from Hamburg Germany for Singing and Fighting 60 Years for Peace and Justice in these cruel World.Joan you are an Angel sent by GOD.A Warrior of Peace!!! GOD bless you and your Sisters Mimi Farina.
Absolutely agree - She's an angel sent to this world 😍🤩

Well said my friend ❤
One of the great moments in my life was when I realized I was on the wrong side of that war. So was the other side.
What war are you referring? Mark Knopfler wrote Brothers In Arms in 1982 about British troops returning from the Falkland Islands.
@@williambelford9661 I was referring to Vietnam.
@@gregwarner3753 so not the war the song was referring to.
@@williambelford9661 while the song might be inspired by the Falklands conflict, it's clearly intended as a song about soldiers in any war on both sides. many videos feature footage from both world wars, and Vietnam.
You just made me cry @gregwarner3753
When I was going to Vietnam, Joan was protesting, but with style. I loved the lady and the music, then , and she is still just as beautiful inside and out now, as then.

a beautiful touching song that takes me back to Vietnam 1969, to the people I knew and won't be seeing again on this earth.
Beautiful Joan, so fortunate to have been born in a world with her beautiful voice.
Everyone in the world should listen to these lyrics and let them sink in. There's Hope.....
I swear that Joan Baez should be a saint. Her dedication, her continuous non- violent protests, her voice and her quest for peace, are unsurpassed by anyone on earth. God bless you Joan Baez and thank you for everything you have given us!!!!!
💎
Amen to that🙏
Beautiful version. Joan has the most beautiful voice!!🌼💛
Oh yeah! I agree with you...
Totally agree with You ❤
started looking at top 10 crying songs and found this in a circle of beauty.
Joan has one of the purest, most beautiful female voices of them all. Magic
so eva cassidy had.
sie ist vor allen Dingen normal geblieben, obwohl sie mit völlig abgedrehten Typen zusammen ihr Leben gestaltet hat. Sie ist glaubwürdig in ihrer Aussage und in dem was ihre Lieder ausdrücken. Insbesondere das Mitgefühl, was ihr dem Cellisten in Sarajevo ausgedruckt hat. Not und Leid hat sie nie zu Ihrem Vorteil genutzt, sondern immer der Hoffnung auf eine bessere Welt.
Don't anyone forget the late great Kate Wolf. Look her up on UA-cam.
Judith Durham (from The Seekers) too
Joan, Emmeylou, and Judy Collins
Great version of a fabulous song. No matter wich side you're from, fallen soldiers have a family, loved ones, poeple they love. Bothers in arms...
just beautiful. tears run down my face. and men DO cry.
🤔😥😥😥 🇫🇷🍷 si mom ami Arnold Bourbon Amaral

This song always gets me. Mandolin Rain by Hornsby does as well.
yes brother

Joan looks and sings like an angel and one can only dream of the emotional impact this would have with Mark's guitar added on top. I'm truly grateful to have heard this.
Es verdad sólo falta la guitarra de Mark y sus variaciones increíbles...Joan maravillosa y privilegiada con su voz celestial❤
What are the others...that bring tears?
@@s2pacificif you have to ask then there's no point in trying to explain.
You can only dream ? It’s on his album ! Easily found anywhere. It is my funeral song, she has a good voice but the original is phenomenal, so superior on every level.
The song in the right voice, no one better than Joan Baez to sing Brothers in Arms. It touches the soul, wonderful! A direct hug from Brazil! 🇧🇷
É nóis. 😊
The original version by Dire Straits was better.
Hug from Italy! 🇮🇹
OMFG,,,, 47, ex service and sat here blubbing like a frikkin baby,, this song has meaning to me and to hear it sang like this, it really is , im lost for friggin words ,, so will end it at that,, love this version,,
Nam Vet. Had the same reaction when the original came out.
Remind me...did you get paid to fight?
Jimmy Cricket Lopez, I believe you are paid for your job also. Soldiers made our lifestyle a life of choice! Thank you to all who served so we that we may have freedom
you and every vet has earned those tears. Shed them proudly! My hope for all of you is that the rest of your life is filled with good health, happiness and longevity.
Eve of destruction was a good song and still appropriate today.
60 Jahre soziales Engagement mit glasklarer Stimme u. herrlichem Gitarrenspiel, Das ist einmalig auf dieser Welt!
Deine Musik begleitet mich schon das ganze Leben. Dir noch ein langes gesundes Leben. Danke Joan Baez!!!
I humbly dedicate this song to my brothers in arms who never came home. A Marine corpsman who survived two tours in country. Ira Lee, Ph.D.
The Spirits of the lost are among us all.
@@dbarrystock Sometimes for a moment or so I believe that but most of the time I know the loss is just that - gone.

Wonderful woman, wonderful songs, wondeful voice
You have to read the lyrics to fully appreciate this song and why it is meant for all of man's history:
What a wonderful version by Joan.
Seit 3 Jahrzehnten mit Herz und Hirn bei Ihr und bei mir. Brothers in arms is my live. Wie schön und wunderbar, dass es sie bis heute für mich und uns gibt! We all love she! In Austria, we have so much love to her!
Her voice together with the guitar skills of Knopfler, possibly a dream duet?
What an idea.
That would be a meeting of, possibly, the sweetest electric guitar sound of all time and, most likely, the sweetest folk rock voice ever on planet earth.
It might be almost too good.
I could’nt say better, exactly what went to my mind when I heard this 😊
I never get tired of this version. Play it whenever I`m in the mood. Joan Baez has such a lovely voice.
Have been listening to Knopfler sing this for bloody years and can now understand the words
Tonight (Dec 2022) is the first time I heard this version and Baez’ is superior by far
Mark Knopfler can play guitar like few others with a voice which matches Guitar George, often just pure emotion, but Joan Baez's voice is just pure honey dripping with emotion - Knopfler's raw vocals taken somewhere else. Stunning, absolutely breathtaking.
Lyric search.
I was a little boy when someone gave me a tape with songs from Joan. The memory and especially the chills remains...thank you Joan..... xx
Joan does a great job with this tune, hauntingly beautiful, wonderful performance..
Never thought I would hear someone cover this song with passion it requires. Joan nailed it.
Incredible rendering by one of the finest singing voices of all time of a great anti-war song by Mark Knopfler.
not exactly an anti-war song. more of a solidarity song with fellow soldiers

This world may well be one but it's one of many identical ones...and in some we understand this.

What God given talent is this. To create a window into mans soul through music such as this.
Stunning rendition of my most beloved Dire Straits song. Her heavenly voice brings in so many emotions, just like Mark Knopfler does, both in different, very moving ways. The last farewell of a dying soldier cuts deeply into the heart of soul.
Thank you so much Joan for your beautiful and touching honoring of Mark Knopfler Brothers in Arms. God bless you and everyone from Patrick
Ouvir essa música sozinho em um dia chuvoso com essa voz é se conecta com a verdade por alguns instantes.
Great Cover Joan ... your like a good wine ... get better with years ...
Summer 1968, I was 12, started to learn English.
The teacher told us the fastest way to learn new vocabularies was to listen to songs.
My first English song was " Dona, Dona", sung by her.
She does this song well; with justice...
+Garegh62
Joan's beautiful voice makes up for the absence of Mark's guitar,
however, both versions are beautiful in their own right.
Now here is a musical soul with a reply that cuts through those with a less perceptive one ?
I agree. Both versions are fabulous depending on your music fix for the day or night.
I think the melody and harmony are brilliant in their own right (together with the lyrics!)
Goosebumps, tears running down my cheeks. How can a voice cut so deep?
OH WOW! I can only dream of Joan's angelic voice over Mark's devilish guitar!
Magnificent. Joan did the song justice. The way she holds the notes. Sweet yet poignant.
I didn't think I'd hear a performance of this song to compare with the Dire Straits 1985 album version but I should have known better. The amazing Joan Baez brings the spirit of the 1960s into a 1980s song and makes it timeless.
listen then to Knopflers live version Berlin, its timeless too

The voice of Joan add more feeling to this fantastic song. Great interpretation.
Joan Baez is timeless. Her voice is as relevant today as it was when she started, much like so many of the songs she sings. This one is no exception.
Excellent rendition of a phenomenal song. I never thought anyone could do it as good as Knofler..this is very good
Recuerdo a esta cantante y hoy la redescubro porque mi madre la escuchaba cuando yo era pequeño , que hermosa voz y que lindas letras interpreta!!!!!!!!!!!!

Incredible voice for this beautiful song.
It's difficult to listen to this version without singing the guitar lines!! Mark Knopfler is a Genious!! :)
As big Dire straits fan I would like to see Joan Baez and Mark Knopfler singing togerher this song. She just took the song and she made it in her way, she put passion and the result is amazing.
Joan Baez is an exceptional vocalist and person.

Even better!
Right on!
Just the Hammond with Joan's voice - gets me a goose-skin
This is one fantastic version of this song. I love the guitar parts in the Dire Straits version but her voice is unbelievably stunning. wow
its ok, but i dont think an emotional vocal like this suits the song, I've hardly heard any cover of MK or DS that does it better. This song would be nothing without the minimalistic chill vocals of the legend:)
The Dire Straits version? they fucking wrote it !!
i forgive you because you're a woman
About the soldiers in the Falkland Islands. England's Vietnam, these men trying to figure out the insanity they had been through, orders versus morality, and in the end the respect they had for each other as they walked away from it. The isolation they all felt or put themselves through after, and that no matter how different you are from the guy you were shoulder to shoulder with in combat, the bond of respect and forgiveness is still something you can not describe.
These mist-covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms
Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battle raged high
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms
There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones
Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon 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
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
i love where i live, could be better. but thats up to us!!
faux que you've missed the point....stay where you are and be grateful, cause i'm not when i have to read this kind of nonsense....fuck democracy with narrow mind like yours
"Democracy" is a myth, just like any other ideology on paper vs. how thing operate. Noone ever was "equal", standing on stolen land with stolen labor smug as bug in rug
Do you have a better system or do you just like to complain to make yourself feel virtuous?

A truly amazing cover of the original...it brings a lump to my throat when i listen to it.
A beautiful rendition of one of my favorite songs.
You are the complete singer of this song, this voice and this guitar, I will be the one and the only
Had forgotten the beauty of her voice, thank you
Every time I listen to her version of this unique song, it makes me cry ... I love her so ... And this song echoes even more now ...
Muito linda esta canção na voz suave de Joan Baez!!!
Joan use to buy tickets from me at a little bass outlet in Palo Alto. I got to know her a little. She’s a wonderful kind lady. I’m sad I never got to play music with her. She offered to jam a little but I had too much on my plate at the time. The last time I saw her she said take care Tommy, you’re a good egg. I miss her
She's alive and well Tommy ffs 😂
@@tomandaj1 precious memories tommy
what a great version. Stunning Joan, as usual
Felkavaró, nagyszerű élmény meghallgatni ezt a nagyszerű, szép, szomorú dalt. Sokadszor szorítja el a torkom, szívem....
Bravo. Best regards from Hungary, Middle Europe.
