WOW! Grant's heartfelt version of the Dire Straits iconic song elicits the same strong emotions from me. And though the footage shows U.S. troops, I cannot help but think about the brave Ukrainian soldiers who have been fending off the larger Russian forces for the better part of the year. War is a terrible tragedy in which the civilian cost is even greater. We hosted Grant for a house concert this past September and he treated our guests to this cover of his. Just brilliant.
Very emotional rendition. The ghost-like background of Ukrainian soldiers places the softly sopken words and mournful, slow-paced guitar cords in a context that speaks to current events, but really the thoughts and feelings are timeless. Well done, sir.
Great rendition. I prefer your version. Mark is really good guitarist but the song really does not a lead guitar at all. The lyrics are stronger then anything that can get in the way. " baptism of Fire" damn.
Beautifully done! Very moving!
Great work Grant thank you
Great moving version of a vision for this song for this time & all times.
Grant, this is terrific! And the video is perfect.
Grant this is a great rendition. Haunting, deliberate, and passionately sung. Beautifully done. Can't wait till the new album comes out!

Steve----we believe all of the footage is Ukranian troops. It is what we intended. Glad you liked the song and video.
