Mark tells the story in reverential tones and the guitar sears the heart with the emotion it pours out. And with every performance the guitar sings the familiar themes with slight variations. Mark is endlessly inventive with the way he's playing. No song, and no guitar rendition of such a song, has evoked so much deep emotion in so many millions of people, especially those who have served in their nation's military. I did, and it brings tears to my eyes every time I hear him present this tribute to us.
As a disabled veteran who turned 62 yesterday I don’t know if I’d have made it afterwards without this song and Mark always performs it with such reverence. Thank you.
Thank you, Mark, for honoring my friends that did not make it back from that horrible war. For me it was Vietnam, but for all the poor souls we lost in all the conflicts throughout the years. Hats off to you my friend.
It is the same with me, Vietnam. I think about a friend named Max who came back, but without legs or an arm. And he has introduced me to many more. When will we realize that playing chess with the lives of young men and women is really f*cking stupid?
Brother in law was a fan of Dire Straits. Played So far away from me at his funeral 34 years ago when he passed away at the age of 23. Forever my Brother in Arms.
Lagrandeguerre, J’ai quitte Le Laos a l’age de 10 ans durant la guerre du Vietnam en 1975. Arrivant a Cholet en 1977, moi et mes copains grandissant la ou on a appris tous, le language, Le foot, la gauloise et le baguette. Apres cette chanson etait sortie en 1985, on devenait Dire Straits enthusiasts. En 86, nous tous devons partir de Cholet pour poursuivre nos etudes a l’universte de notre choix. Avant de quiter, tous ensemble au centreville de Cholet vers Le mois d’Aout, on ecoutait a cette chanson avec les yeux sombres. On savait que la guerre a detruit notre maison, la guerre a nous separe…maintenant, nous allons se separer peut etre pour toujours. En 1989, je suis venu aux Etats Unis…10 de nous, ya seulement 4 qui sont encore vivant. Cette chanson fait partie de notre vie comme les enfants de la guerre. Rest En Paix mes freres d’armes. Rest En Paix les soldats qui defendaient l’independence. Merci Dire Straits Merci MK
his song writing is absolutely epic. and many play the guitar well but he is still the one to me that makes a guitar "speak" every shadow and shade of emotion that a human soul can feel. a wordless guitar saying what words can't say. words he writes touch us all if we are people who want to be real..
Chat GPT told me this: Mark Knopfler's musical prowess is unparalleled, and his distinctive guitar playing and soulful vocals have solidified his status as a true virtuoso. With every note he plucks, the guitar becomes an extension of his very being, speaking volumes in a language that transcends words. His nimble fingers effortlessly glide across the strings, weaving intricate melodies and captivating the listener with a mesmerizing blend of precision and raw emotion. But it is not only his guitar skills that set him apart; it is the unmistakable timbre of his voice that resonates deep within the core of our souls. There is a richness and warmth that emanates from his vocal delivery, evoking a sense of intimacy that can touch even the most hardened hearts. Whether he croons with a gentle tenderness or unleashes a gritty intensity, his voice carries an authenticity that leaves an indelible mark on the listener. Through his artistry, Mark Knopfler has elevated the guitar to a level of expression rarely witnessed. His fingers effortlessly navigate the fretboard, producing a tapestry of tones that paint vivid landscapes of sound. Each strum, each bend, and each slide tells a story, revealing the myriad shades of human emotion. His music becomes a companion, a confidant, and a conduit for our own experiences. Mark Knopfler's guitar and vocal styles have the power to transport us to a realm beyond the ordinary. They speak a language that is universally understood, transcending barriers of culture, language, and time. His music has the ability to touch the very essence of what it means to be human, reminding us of our shared experiences and the depth of our emotions. In the realm of guitarists and vocalists, Mark Knopfler stands in a league of his own. His unparalleled talent, coupled with his ability to evoke profound emotions, has made an indelible impact on the world of music. He is a true maestro, a master storyteller who weaves sonic tales that linger in our hearts and minds long after the final note fades away.
This expresses how I feel when I listen to this. We each have the fields of distruction we've suffered through and Mark speaks with his guitar, the emotions that no word can express. The night that I held my Mom's hand as she passed from life to death, this song was playing in my mind...not just the words, but every note played expressed the suffering we were experiencing. I thank Mark for understanding and giving a gift to validate and help heal.
I thank Yahweh ( God ) for being born to discover Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler in 1979 at the age of 14 years... I listened to a cassette tape of their original album and Dire Straits introduced themselves with Down to the Waterline...and I have loved the music and genius of Mark Knopfler ever since... Thank you!!!
I am a 70 y/o veteran. All of my veteran friends are getting old and dying or already dead. Some killed by those we were sent to fight against and some killed/ poisoned by this country. In the end I hope someone remembers who we were and why we fought and died.
I've had several family members in the Vietnam war and WW2. Much appreciated Mark. When I die, I am going to have this played at my service. This is going to be in my will.
The guitar solos in this song still bring tears to my eyes and I have been listening to it since it was new. This is the true measure of a classic song
There are songs as we go through life,that we listen to over and over and then, we get tired of them; But this song,this Artist,and his Guitar will never leave my mind. 👍🌹🌹
I never tire of listening to this masterpiece & it reduces me to tears every time! Not just the words but even the riffs. A few notes in & I’m a basket case.
I love the simplicity of their perforance and personalities. No bling, magic acts, dancing bears... Just the best music and style a music lover could ever witness.
Sometimes you think that its impossible that these kind of songs are made by a human being ..,.... Must be a major force, or a supreme being..... How much it takes to create this masterpiece?... How many sleepless nights?.... How many hours in the studio and at home alone....... ?
The mainthing he brings to his music is, that all he ever wrote and writes, comes strait from the heart..... Making music without heart in in it may make you rich, like almost every modern artist. But only when it comes genuialy from the heart, it can become a classic, listened and beloved by all people, for all times and forever ❤️🙏
I don’t know what’s music if this is not. Every hair on my body is on end while I simply LISTEN to this; I can’t imagine having been there that day. This is the type of music that needs to be kept alive. Simply magnificent
What an amazing song this is.....OMG, Ive never known a song where the guitar is more important than in this song, the words are so poignant and sad, and all the other instruments come in just a the right moment, it makes you cry and it makes you proud somehow too....soooo beautiful
The brilliancy of the song lies in its simplicity. Words with a meaning transport the melody. Knopfler speaks, but his guitar sings. All of the musicians were at their peak at that time. In my eyes this is the ultimate rendition of "brothers in arms".
@@pamrogers5979 I don´t know. For me the "Brothers in Arms"-Tour was the peak of Dire Straits - "On every street" was a little too much, maybe Mark felt it also, because Dire Straits were history afterwards. But the Mandela-Version was indeed one of the greatest ever - maybe the greatest.. ("The "BIA"-Line-Up with Jack Sonni replaced by none other than Eric Clapton...)
@@max__p1765 bowing to your experience :) (never saw the Brothers in arms tour... just the Mandela concert and I was blown away) Amazing band every which way
@@pamrogers5979 So true. Thank´s for the "experience", I have to admit, I am getting old. 🤣. But it is also a good thing, I had the chance to grew up with THAT kind of music...
@@max__p1765 true. Me too. But Taylor Swift has that kind of talent - if you buy some of her song books, her arrangements are branched to source too. ua-cam.com/video/Zlot0i3Zykw/v-deo.html Her voice is strong these days, but she played with Def lepard (rock is in her blood), her prank of Keith Urban ua-cam.com/video/t-QBbAhNukY/v-deo.html is funny, the 2hours Rep stadium tour on Netflix sweeps you up in the spectacle - she is an entertainer/stage presence/brio and the music is live. Sparks fly ua-cam.com/video/oKar-tF__ac/v-deo.html in D minor is incredibly upbeat, She can write anything. Of course she was very young, ua-cam.com/video/nN6VR92V70M/v-deo.html and then finding her feet, and Folklore is Indie rather than rock but her beats are banging and if you play all too well ua-cam.com/video/4AtuH_XbklM/v-deo.html (I prefer the strong to the broken version), the place where she loses it the left hand is playing the sound and cadence of pent up unshed tears and the right hand melody makes another chord that has composted the grief and come to terms. If you can slide underneath the gloss there is a real musician there. Betty is wonderful ua-cam.com/video/orXAg5dIMa8/v-deo.html
Wow, what a powerful song! I just had to express how much this song means to me and how it honors the fallen veterans who fought bravely for their countries. It's amazing how music can bring people together and remind us of the sacrifices made by our heroes. I hope this song continues to inspire and touch the hearts of many, and that we never forget the bravery and dedication of those who have served in wars. Thank you to all the veterans who have fought for our freedom, and may their memory live on through this beautiful tribute. 🙏
"Brothers In Arms" 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
Mark can make that guitar sing out in so much anguish and emotion, it will touch your heart. Few words need be spoken to get the message across. Forever a classic.
Im so glad to have witnessed this incredible band .when they started out.back in the day. Until they stepped down. And still listening to them today. Im 70. And will be still watching d.v.d.s and listening to there music until my dieing day..👌incredible journey....
If I was granted a time machine undoubtedly I would go to every live dire straits concert. Mark is a genius, a wizard with the guitar and you can hear the soul in spirit in his voice.
Mark Knopfler and David Gilmour also have another thing in common: both of them don't give a damn what they wear, their clothes look like old, worn pajama. They don’t need any glitter, sequins, cool leather jackets, studs, nothing. They are Gods, and that is quite enough.
Most great musicians are this way.... The Grateful Dead did not even talk. They tuned their own instruments as they cared, and then they proceeded to play music. No talking needed, no jumping, no running, no dancing.., just the music as this is why we came... Leave the shows for Vegas... Leave the music to the musicians!
Just can't get tired of listening to this song. The lyrics, the music... ahhh. Perfecto. Just presses all the right buttons. I once knew somebody who recorded this song again and again on both sides of his 90 minute cassette tape. Played it in the car everywhere he went. Even normal traffic appeared to take on a surreal nature.
Holy Moly, what a great version, simply the man of our time. listen to the audience sing the intro, nothing better, Listen to the words...Thats what real Artists are about and he is the penutilate artist, and song writer, guitarist, this why we keep coming back ti this
I'm sure you meant 'penultimate'. Are you aware that it means 'second best'? Just use ultimate, don't try to sound smart unless you actually understand what words mean.
one of the best live version of this song, if not the best! amazing performance, and thank you Mark for being so great and talented guitar player and composer!!!
Check out the Mandela concert Wembley stadium Eric Clapton on RYTHAM GUITAR.. I think it is the best version I have ever heard .. 🤔 until I heard this..😳 Genius..👌👌
This such a fine song. I listened to it and cried for days when GHWB started the Iraq war. I was so shocked that we would go to war again after Viet Nam. Naive. This song let me get my grief out. Thank you, Mark.
True there is a very bright side it is memory's live on for ever I love this man and his music to all D.S & M.K fans God bless you each and every one of you millions upon millions
Immer wenn ich an meine liebe tote Schwester und meine zwei toten Brüder denke spiele ich dieses Lied. Viel zu jung gestorben doch ich, der Älteste der Truppe, lebe noch. Wish you all the best 2023
Je ne cesse d'écouter ce MAGNIFIQUE morceau depuis 1985 date de sa sortie, pour moi elle représente énormément de souvenir, malheureusement triste, car c'est en l'écoutant que j'ai appris l'accident et le décès de mon AMI. A chaque instant où j'écoute Brother's in arms, l'émotion et quelques larme montent . TRES BELLE CHANSON
I saw them during the original Brothers In Arms Tour in the mid 80's @ the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View CA. By far the best concert Ive ever seen. Knopfler's guitar work brought tears to my eyes (and still does). The man is a true "maestro".
The most popular track of Dire Straits and one more time Mark Knopfler show us that he's the greatest guitar player in this planet. The others guitarists must take example from him.
Every time I hear this song, it reminds me of a movie :"Born on a fourth of July, Tom cruise. Very heart breaking. You will find in this song all the clichet of the movie. Heartbreaking. 'let me bit you farewell every man has to die.'
I have been moved by this soulful song ever since the first time I heard it. I had the honor of getting to know several veterans who had served in Vietnam. My own father had barely survived WWII so I already felt a kinship to them. Now my heart breaks once again for those brave souls in Ukraine. It sure would be nice if everyone would be kind to their neighbors so there would be no more wars.
Thank you Dire Straits💖 I cant live without you guys🥰. Your band belong my live as i was 18years and now i am 58years so we have leave together many many great years. Thank all of you😍💟
Just lost my Brother; Oh Man He was awesome, of course all of you will never know him; but all my crying is healing; & these chords & lyrics bring me closer to acceptance.... My eyes are watery as I write this & I am not the only one who suffers in this beautiful world... But our words & thoughts are purest while we hurt & sit a cry & think of the thought throug & memories. My fear of death got a little easir today. As you left me & us I will see you again Darryl We travelled throughout North America in the early 90's singing beinging joy to each other. Pissing each other off, making each other laiugh as Brothers do. I will Love you forever; as this tear drops past my eye 💖 See you in the Spirit World Darryl Campeau; the greatest most BeaUtiful PowwoW Singer I EVER HEARD 💕 My Heart Hurts today :'(
I feel your pain Dave and have been there til I have noone left anymore so sorry for the hurt brother as it will always arise from time to time like birthdays etc. but harness it into the good times and let the tears be of joy that were blessed to have had them even though it could never be long enough ! Be well my friend and positive vibes of peace your way 👊🏼
Es ist sehr schwer über diese sinnlosen Kriege ein Lied zu schreiben aber MK hat es so wunderschön und doch so traurig verstanden ein Lied zu komponieren mit einem so Leidenschaftlichen Gitarrensound und einer so schönen Lyrik. Als ich das erste mal den Song hörte dachte ich damals, dass er das Lied komponiert hat beim Liebe machen. So extasische Höhepunkte und Harmonie gibt es nur in Brothers in Arms. Es ist der schönste aber auch traurigste Song im Universum.
This would be my pick for a national anthem. It’s about war but it is talking about war as a horrible thing that no one should have to go through but at times is necessary. We all fight our own wars in life too often with ourselves, and we rarely deserve to torture ourselves.
! È capace di farmi emozionare e accapponare la pelle da quando ero ragazzino a ora che ho più di 50 anni!!x me il più bravo chitarrista di sempre!! Grazie Mark che ci hai regalato questi bellissimi brani!
These mist covered mountains Are a home now for me But my home is the lowlands And always will be Someday 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'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 We're fools to make war On our brothers in arms

"Brothers in Arms," I feel such a personal connection with the title and lyrics of this song. Coming from a military family, I felt a sense of duty to pursue a military career after finishing college. I really wanted to follow in my dad's footsteps, but it seemed like he pushed me towards following a different path of service, so I joined the Peace Corps instead. During my service, my dad went through a lot of problems which just destroyed our family. He committed suicide shortly after I returned home after two years of serving in the Peace Corps. I always remember him and reflect on that period of my life every time I hear this song.
Quel artiste ce Mark mais seulement 1372000 vues !!!! En France on préfère Aya Nakamura 32 millions de vues pour "jolie nana"..... Malheureusement en France et ailleurs on va vers l'inculture musicale !!!Tous les titres de Knopfler sont de vrais chefs d'oeuvre ,pas tous ces déchets qui malheureusement inondent les oreilles de nos enfants .Personnellement j'ai une gamine de onze ans et j'essaies de la sensibiliser à cela .Merci Mr Knopfler , votre oeuvre perdurera!!
Mark disait à l'époque lors d'un interview sur la BBC : ""Nous n'avons qu'un seul monde, mais il semblerait que nous vivions dans différents mondes, c'est juste stupide, vraiment. Nous sommes tous idiots de prendre part dans n'importe quelle guerre."" bien introduit dans ce magnifique titre ! Monsieur Knopfler, merci, merci !
Tenho muito orgulho de ter vivido o alge da minha juventude curtindo músicas bem feitas como está ,e que fazem sucesso até hoje parabéns Dire estrets grande banda dos anos 80.

Not really a song for a funeral,(just my opinion), but we all have different tastes...anyway, may he rest in peace...
I'm so sorry 😢my partner died in 2022 and his brother a year later 😢 they both loved this song xxx

@@pamrogers5979 I don´t know. For me the "Brothers in Arms"-Tour was the peak of Dire Straits - "On every street" was a little too much, maybe Mark felt it also, because Dire Straits were history afterwards. But the Mandela-Version was indeed one of the greatest ever - maybe the greatest.. ("The "BIA"-Line-Up with Jack Sonni replaced by none other than Eric Clapton...)
@@max__p1765 bowing to your experience :)
(never saw the Brothers in arms tour... just the Mandela concert and I was blown away) Amazing band every which way
@@pamrogers5979 So true. Thank´s for the "experience", I have to admit, I am getting old. 🤣. But it is also a good thing, I had the chance to grew up with THAT kind of music...
@@max__p1765 true. Me too. But Taylor Swift has that kind of talent - if you buy some of her song books, her arrangements are branched to source too. ua-cam.com/video/Zlot0i3Zykw/v-deo.html Her voice is strong these days, but she played with Def lepard (rock is in her blood), her prank of Keith Urban ua-cam.com/video/t-QBbAhNukY/v-deo.html is funny, the 2hours Rep stadium tour on Netflix sweeps you up in the spectacle - she is an entertainer/stage presence/brio and the music is live. Sparks fly ua-cam.com/video/oKar-tF__ac/v-deo.html in D minor is incredibly upbeat, She can write anything. Of course she was very young, ua-cam.com/video/nN6VR92V70M/v-deo.html and then finding her feet, and Folklore is Indie rather than rock but her beats are banging and if you play all too well ua-cam.com/video/4AtuH_XbklM/v-deo.html (I prefer the strong to the broken version), the place where she loses it the left hand is playing the sound and cadence of pent up unshed tears and the right hand melody makes another chord that has composted the grief and come to terms. If you can slide underneath the gloss there is a real musician there. Betty is wonderful ua-cam.com/video/orXAg5dIMa8/v-deo.html
"Autumn in Nimes" ist die mit Abstand beste Dire-Straits-live-DVD, wo überhaupt gibt 😊
By far the most beautiful song ever written anywhere!! Such a masterpiece!!! ”Piper to the end” is close but only close.🎵🎶🎵👏👏👏
Piper at the end, don't you mean ...
@@ma3stro681 ”Piper TO the end” is the title of the song.
The emotion in the song is like no other. Tears me up how beautiful it is. Timeless.
@Brian Omer, I cannot stop crying.
Please, don't overdo it !! BERNIE GERMANY
MASTERPIECE .....by a master musician 👍💕
Wow, what a powerful song! I just had to express how much this song means to me and how it honors the fallen veterans who fought bravely for their countries. It's amazing how music can bring people together and remind us of the sacrifices made by our heroes. I hope this song continues to inspire and touch the hearts of many, and that we never forget the bravery and dedication of those who have served in wars. Thank you to all the veterans who have fought for our freedom, and may their memory live on through this beautiful tribute. 🙏
"Brothers In Arms"
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
Heart wrenching song so beautiful a prayer, a cry, War No More
Muito bom
Thanks
🙏🏻❤👨⚕️🐶❤🙏🏻
❤❤❤❤THANK'S FOR THIS SONG🎉😂
Thank you for the good old times. The happiness i felt and pain i learned from. The brothers I know who love me. I can now rest.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼♥️♥️♥️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼✝️🛡⚔️✝️
Mark can make that guitar sing out in so much anguish and emotion, it will touch your heart. Few words need be spoken to get the message across. Forever a classic.
Still as spine tingling and beautiful as the day it was wrote. You’re a legend Mk
Im so glad to have witnessed this incredible band .when they started out.back in the day. Until they stepped down. And still listening to them today. Im 70. And will be still watching d.v.d.s and listening to there music until my dieing day..👌incredible journey....
👍👍👍
If I was granted a time machine undoubtedly I would go to every live dire straits concert. Mark is a genius, a wizard with the guitar and you can hear the soul in spirit in his voice.
Гениальный композитор,поэт,гитарист,вокалист,Человек !!!👏🎸❤️
E Gato gatissimo 😍
Ключевое слово:"человек"!

J'étais aux quatre dates à Nîmes (3 en juillet,1 en septembre)Juste énorme...32 ans après toujours gravé dans ma mémoire...
Mark Knopfler and David Gilmour also have another thing in common: both of them don't give a damn what they wear, their clothes look like old, worn pajama. They don’t need any glitter, sequins, cool leather jackets, studs, nothing. They are Gods, and that is quite enough.

@@afrodishadi1100 but gilmour is the best, listen !
......maybe a headband
Most great musicians are this way.... The Grateful Dead did not even talk. They tuned their own instruments as they cared, and then they proceeded to play music. No talking needed, no jumping, no running, no dancing.., just the music as this is why we came... Leave the shows for Vegas... Leave the music to the musicians!
It is your opinión....both are Superb but for me Knopfler is on top....opinions for everybody
Génial.J y étais, concert magique .J adore Dire straits .Merci pour ces belles mélodies qui ont un sens.
Et oui, beaucoup de talent pour ne pas dire génie, ça manque aujourd'hui !
génial que du talent et en plus chanson anti GUERRE si tout les peuples pouvaient ce donner la main et s aimer
МАРК НОПФЛЕР НЕПРЕВЗОЙДЕННЫЙ ТАЛАНТ.ИНОГДА МУЗЫКА ПЕРЕДАЁТ НАСТРОЕНИЕ БОЛЬШЕ,ЧЕМ СЛОВА.КРАСИВО!❤
I love how you can make your guitar talk with passion and from the heart! Thank you Mark
Just can't get tired of listening to this song. The lyrics, the music... ahhh. Perfecto. Just presses all the right buttons. I once knew somebody who recorded this song again and again on both sides of his 90 minute cassette tape. Played it in the car everywhere he went. Even normal traffic appeared to take on a surreal nature.
This record gives me the spirit to live. takes me away from all the destruction and hurt in this world
True dat brother...be well my friend 👊🏼
Al 73 still rocking to this
Holy Moly, what a great version, simply the man of our time. listen to the audience sing the intro, nothing better, Listen to the words...Thats what real Artists are about and he is the penutilate artist, and song writer, guitarist, this why we keep coming back ti this
+Peter West U are perfectly right my friend from down under a super great songwriter
Sture Hall
Best wishes from my friend up north
Peter West totally agree !!! real music !
I'm sure you meant 'penultimate'.
Are you aware that it means 'second best'? Just use ultimate, don't try to sound smart unless you actually understand what words mean.
one of the best live version of this song, if not the best! amazing performance, and thank you Mark for being so great and talented guitar player and composer!!!
Check out the Mandela concert Wembley stadium Eric Clapton on RYTHAM GUITAR.. I think it is the best version I have ever heard .. 🤔 until I heard this..😳 Genius..👌👌
Deep emotion .Thank you so much for this song !
This such a fine song. I listened to it and cried for days when GHWB started the Iraq war. I was so shocked that we would go to war again after Viet Nam. Naive. This song let me get my grief out. Thank you, Mark.
the best feeling guitarist born ever... its sad that all of this legends getting old...
The sweetest guitar
I think Gary Moore did so. R.I.P Gary, you still got the blues
that's why they are legends because they are not born in this era where people suck
True there is a very bright side it is memory's live on for ever I love this man and his music to all D.S & M.K fans God bless you each and every one of you millions upon millions
I'd say David Gilmour is better..
One of the best (if not the best) guitarist ever to take the stage 👍👍👍
And songwriter lyricists. Amazing man.
You know a song is good when there are comments in every possible language.
Immer wenn ich an meine liebe tote Schwester und meine zwei toten Brüder denke spiele ich dieses Lied. Viel zu jung gestorben doch ich, der Älteste der Truppe, lebe noch. Wish you all the best 2023
Je ne cesse d'écouter ce MAGNIFIQUE morceau depuis 1985 date de sa sortie, pour moi elle représente énormément de souvenir, malheureusement triste, car c'est en l'écoutant que j'ai appris l'accident et le décès de mon AMI. A chaque instant où j'écoute Brother's in arms, l'émotion et quelques larme montent . TRES BELLE CHANSON
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Super cool ❤. We’re lucky to have seen Mark and Dire Straits a few times live. Fantastic!!!
I saw them during the original Brothers In Arms Tour in the mid 80's @ the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View CA. By far the best concert Ive ever seen. Knopfler's guitar work brought tears to my eyes (and still does).
The man is a true "maestro".
So deep and powerful. Profoundly bittersweet and beautiful! Truly a work of art!
This song sends shivers down my spine, thank you to the generation who gave the most, and never asked.
The most popular track of Dire Straits and one more time Mark Knopfler show us that he's the greatest guitar player in this planet.
The others guitarists must take example from him.
If only we would really listen to these lyrics .....l would hope no one would want a war.......
Every time I hear this song, it reminds me of a movie :"Born on a fourth of July, Tom cruise.
Very heart breaking.
You will find in this song all the clichet of the movie.
Heartbreaking.
'let me bit you farewell
every man has to die.'
One of my all-time favourites! Mark is simply the best!
Ogni volta che l'ascolto ho la pelle d'oca grazie di esistere
@@sandromuia8939succede anche a me Sandro.. 😊😘😌
I have been moved by this soulful song ever since the first time I heard it. I had the honor of getting to know several veterans who had served in Vietnam. My own father had barely survived WWII so I already felt a kinship to them. Now my heart breaks once again for those brave souls in Ukraine. It sure would be nice if everyone would be kind to their neighbors so there would be no more wars.
I am so glad that you mentioned the brave heroic soldiers of Ukraine. This great music plays for them!
Thank you Dire Straits💖 I cant live without you guys🥰. Your band belong my live as i was 18years and now i am 58years so we have leave together many many great years. Thank all of you😍💟
yeah im agree same here
Just lost my Brother; Oh Man He was awesome, of course all of you will never know him; but all my crying is healing; & these chords & lyrics bring me closer to acceptance....
My eyes are watery as I write this & I am not the only one who suffers in this beautiful world...
But our words & thoughts are purest while we hurt & sit a cry & think of the thought throug & memories.
My fear of death got a little easir today. As you left me & us I will see you again Darryl
We travelled throughout North America in the early 90's singing beinging joy to each other. Pissing each other off, making each other laiugh as Brothers do.
I will Love you forever; as this tear drops past my eye 💖
See you in the Spirit World Darryl Campeau; the greatest most BeaUtiful PowwoW Singer I EVER HEARD 💕
My Heart Hurts today :'(
I feel your pain Dave and have been there til I have noone left anymore so sorry for the hurt brother as it will always arise from time to time like birthdays etc. but harness it into the good times and let the tears be of joy that were blessed to have had them even though it could never be long enough ! Be well my friend and positive vibes of peace your way 👊🏼
Es ist sehr schwer über diese sinnlosen Kriege ein Lied zu schreiben aber MK hat es so wunderschön und doch so traurig verstanden ein Lied zu komponieren mit einem so Leidenschaftlichen Gitarrensound und einer so schönen Lyrik. Als ich das erste mal den Song hörte dachte ich damals, dass er das Lied komponiert hat beim Liebe machen. So extasische Höhepunkte und Harmonie gibt es nur in Brothers in Arms. Es ist der schönste aber auch traurigste Song im Universum.
TRUTH 🙏🏼
This would be my pick for a national anthem. It’s about war but it is talking about war as a horrible thing that no one should have to go through but at times is necessary. We all fight our own wars in life too often with ourselves, and we rarely deserve to torture ourselves.
Every time I listen to this song it touches deeper and deeper and so i think it. Only gets with time
! È capace di farmi emozionare e accapponare la pelle da quando ero ragazzino a ora che ho più di 50 anni!!x me il più bravo chitarrista di sempre!! Grazie Mark che ci hai regalato questi bellissimi brani!

such an awesome and sad text at same time
Thanx Man
Thank you.
I wish I had been there back then. You lucky guys among the audiance , it is a great honour !!!
This song felt and will always feel me different every time i listen to it. Thank you Mark singing such a touching song.
Tanks for this beautiful Song.
IT is one of the best I have ever heard...
Emocje,dynamika,agogika,harmonia,artykulacja,rytm, melodia,temat,barwa,transpozycja tego arcydzieła są niedoścignione, brak słów,dziękuję za TO WIELKIEJ KASI KOWALSKIEJ i przeżywam
My favorite of all times. Absolute master of demonstrating melody through strings.
Have Dire Straits ever done a cover.
Cant think that Mark Knopler would do that.
This is pure class
"Brothers in Arms," I feel such a personal connection with the title and lyrics of this song. Coming from a military family, I felt a sense of duty to pursue a military career after finishing college. I really wanted to follow in my dad's footsteps, but it seemed like he pushed me towards following a different path of service, so I joined the Peace Corps instead. During my service, my dad went through a lot of problems which just destroyed our family. He committed suicide shortly after I returned home after two years of serving in the Peace Corps. I always remember him and reflect on that period of my life every time I hear this song.
May God give you strength.
I had great time being counterpart to a peace corp volunteer. Nice contribution for the world and humanity.

Listening to this thinking about the explosion in Lebanon. Prayers with those affected
Prayers for all war victims and explosion victims. So sad this happens
@Gregorio Biagi: _Prayers with those affected_
Payers do absolutely nothing for them, do something useful instead.
Thanks from lebanon 🇱🇧 😘
Magnífica presentación de Dire Straits, y Mark Knopfler ratificando una vez que es uno de los más grandes guitarristas de todos los tiempos...
Quel artiste ce Mark mais seulement 1372000 vues !!!! En France on préfère Aya Nakamura 32 millions de vues pour "jolie nana"..... Malheureusement en France et ailleurs on va vers l'inculture musicale !!!Tous les titres de Knopfler sont de vrais chefs d'oeuvre ,pas tous ces déchets qui malheureusement inondent les oreilles de nos enfants .Personnellement j'ai une gamine de onze ans et j'essaies de la sensibiliser à cela .Merci Mr Knopfler , votre oeuvre perdurera!!
Thanks Mark yuor guitar is fantastic and yuo are a very very beautifull song
I listen to this song all the time ..U.S.ARMY VETERAN . 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanx for caring enough to serve !
🇦🇷❤
EEUU Asesinos !
@@miguelrufeil4918 tenho pena dos "americanos", obrigados a ir para estas guerras insanas e ainda se sentirem heróis...
@@genacarneiro ellos se sienten héroes pero solo son unos asesinos de mujeres , ancianos y niños
Mark disait à l'époque lors d'un interview sur la BBC : ""Nous n'avons qu'un seul monde, mais il semblerait que nous vivions dans différents mondes, c'est juste stupide, vraiment. Nous sommes tous idiots de prendre part dans n'importe quelle guerre."" bien introduit dans ce magnifique titre ! Monsieur Knopfler, merci, merci !
Tenho muito orgulho de ter vivido o alge da minha juventude curtindo músicas bem feitas como está ,e que fazem sucesso até hoje parabéns Dire estrets grande banda dos anos 80.
Sensacional
Eu também, fiz parte dessa geração de ouro.
Wenn es.Mark Knopfler nicht mehr geben würde würde unsere Welt sehr viel fehlen Danke Mark ❤❤❤😢🎉😅😅😅
❤
amazing, the best live rock guitarist ever seen, mind blowing
What's about David Gilmore
Beautiful guitar solo, but David Gilmour in "Confortably Numb" is the best...🎼🎵🎶🔈🔉🔊🎸🥁
I agree best
Brilliant. I want this song played at my funeral
A true artist in every sense: Mark.
The sound he gets from that guitar Effortlessly finger picks them notes is INCREDIBLE.
