I can't listen to this song without tearing up...it's an emotional gut punch. Between the nuanced lyrics, and the hauntingly restrained melody, it gets me every time. One of my favorite Dire Straits songs.
I know, it's a bloody nuisance, sometimes!!
Same way. It guts me every time. Had to debate listening to it just now.
This is in my top 3 all time .... along with Rolling Stones Gimme Shelter and Pink Floyd's Great Gig in the Sky.
If you were upset that the song was too short and you wanted more, you need to go to to the Historical Epic Masterpiece "Telegraph Road" from Love Over Gold.
Completely agree Telegraph Road is fantastic
This!!!!!!
Or "Private Investigation"...
Be sure to use the Alchemy tour live version....ua-cam.com/video/Q1Wp2ASqyxI/v-deo.html
oh i love this song
If you say "wow" now. Imagine how you will feel listening to this for 1000 th time. This only gets better man. Trust me. One of the the top ten songs written EVER. maybe even top 3
For me, this is one of the most stirringly evocative combinations of music and lyrics that has ever been composed.
An American Dj said how can such a small island like the UK produce so many great guitarists, Dave Gilmour, Mark Knofler, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, the list goes on, it makes me proud to be a Brit.
Peter Green
Mark is so good at telling a story in song , told by a dying soldier in this one , very moving.
A perfect piece of guitar playing: wouldn’t change a single note.
I love this song. The guitar fits so perfectly. Gives me chills.
The guitar work is so tasteful. Understated and perfect for the song.
I heard a producer say that Mark Knopfler's work on the guitar was always masterful, yet it was never about his solos... It was about the music. I'm surprised that more guitarists that play the Fender Stratocaster (or any electric guitar, for that matter) don't take a page from this great finger-picker! One of the greats for sure! :)
You'd have to be heartless not to have a reaction to this song, brilliant band. Nice to see others experiencing it.
To me, Mark Knopfler is one of a small handful of guitar players who can emote with the instrument the way a vocalist does with their voice. (David Gilmore being another that quickly springs to mind) The guitar playing on this song really drives home the weight and power behind the message of the lyrics. Excellent reaction, Daniel!
Excellent observation. The Knopfler/Gilmour similarity had never occurred to me, but you're right.
👍🏻👍🏻
Don't forget Steve Rothery and Andrew Latimer, they are on the same level
I've heard at least a half-dozen people react to the song and nobody has covered it as well as you. Thank you.
I may have shared this before...
My Dire Straits story...
It was my second year at college in Boston, week of midterms, Tuesday or Wednesday I believe, 6:30 PM... A friend of two of my roommates comes in and says he has won 2 tickets via a radio DJ to tonight's Brothers in Arms tour show (1986) at the Boston Garden and he can't find anyone to go with him because of midterms. The concert starts in about an hour and a half and these two guys both say no he looks at me and says would you want to go? I respond in a heartbeat yes even though I had two midterms the next day... we picked up the tickets at the door... I couldn't believe it they were sixth row Center on the floor I've never been so close to a major rock and roll band for such a long time, it was absolutely unforgettable. Folks didn't want to leave they came back out for a second Encore song, it was really a very well-done show
I didn't do all that well on those two midterms but it was worth it.
@@blackwatch1062 wow, great!sweet story. Loved it. And completely believe it dwarfs mine on the cosmic scale but on a personal level it is one of the tops for me.
Thankyou for acknowledging the depth of this magnificent creation. I love it, chills every time.
This song gets me every time, and has since I first heard it in 1985! I'm glad you played the album version, not the shortened radio edit, otherwise you'd be robbed of the beautiful guitar passages at the end.
The lyrics will hit to anyone who has/had someone in the service, regardless of what 'side' they're on! Peace & love all.
One of my absolute favourites from dire straits... XXX 🤗😍😘🇬🇧
You need to see the pencil-drawn video of this...
Very emotional guitar playing here. Unmatched at the time this was released.
Nice one. Check out "Love Over Gold," Industrial Disease," "Telegraph Road, and "Romeo & Juliette." Knopfler is a great guitarist of course, but a very underrated songwriter.
Romeo and Juliet was done. ua-cam.com/video/GhR2fUTlW54/v-deo.html
Not underrated at all.
Mark is one of the best ever and completely unique. You cannot mistake him for anyone else.
One of their very best songs.
Try Telegraph Road if you haven't yet.
Yes Telegraph from Alchemy live. Bet he could appreciate it a lot
Blew me as a kid first hearing it, felt like someone was singing a story that I couldn't comprehend (I was 7 when this came out), but loved the musicality of it. Even all these years later I still feel Mark with his guitar are sublime storytellers.
This Album was at number one in the U.K for nearly 2 years!
A little less, 14 weeks.

@@paulqueripel3493 Well it was the biggest selling album in UK history to date (and the first CD to sell a million copies) and I seem to recall it kept returning to the number one slot which probably made it feel like it was there for longer! 😃 It was released in 1985 but won Album of the Year at the BPI awards (now known as BRIT awards of course) in 1987, which as Mark said in his acceptance speech was 'a little bit strange'.
RIP Arthur Blain...injured Gallipoli 1915...died of his injuries later that year in Malta, aged 19 years. This song reminds me of my great uncle and a whole generation of young men who died in World War One. What an absolute waste of life
This is a wonderful track - shivers down the spine music - for me, that’s what makes great music.
Hello there Mike. Hope all is well. Nice shout out yesterday by DS8 and DS9 on the box set for DSOTM. Those who know knew...
@@daveking9393 - Hi Dave - oops I missed that. Busy looking after my 98 year old Dad at the moment. Sounds like I missed something important! Can you direct me to that ‘shout out’ please? Thanks.
@@daveking9393 - ah it’s ok, just listened to the podcast with Daniel’s Dad. Yes, 5.1 surround sound is a terrific boost to music and particularly advantageous when it comes to Pink Floyd’s music.
@@showmoke glad you had a chance to listen. I know he had all those great disks so I haven't actually sent him the LP for Dark Side of the Moon yet... But I still want to because I don't think he realizes the scarf that came with your box set was actually from the inside cover...
You will be in my thoughts and prayers as you take care of your father it's a difficult job I'm sure but one that I'm sure is very much appreciated. Stay strong. All the best.
@@daveking9393 - thanks for the welcome. Just to say, it wasn’t me who sent the box set. I sent Daniel the DVD ‘The Making Of The Dark Side Of The Moon’.
Brought me to tears the first time I heard it as well. To me, it sounds like Mark is saying the lyrics while his guitar is singing them.
But the most moving time I heard it came watching my "guilty pleasure" of the 1980's - Miami Vice, which often incorporated popular songs. It shows up in a particularly memorable episode, Out Where the Buses Don't Run (Season 2 Episode 3 for those playing at home) - anyone else remember the one that starts with Baba O'Reilly and ends with Brothers in Arms, about the crazy ex-cop in a Hawaiian shirt, completely insane and obsessed with finding a particular drug lord? (Except that as the episode progresses, you wonder if there might actually be some method in his madness after all?) It also guest stars a very young David Strathairn - one of my favorite actors, right up there with Alan Rickman - as the former partner of said crazy ex-cop. Anyway... the song is used *really* well - Miami Vice did not always do their songs justice, but this time they nailed it. Seems like each line of the lyrics takes on a slightly different meaning. "We are fools to make war on our brothers in arms" indeed.
You could do worse than making a deep dive into this entire album. In fact, l'd highly recommend you dig into their first four albums. Not a bad song, ever!
@@r1cha4d Hahaha! yeah, that one is pretty wild. I still listen to it when it comes along on the album, but it isn't a favorite.
Yeah that guitar gets me emotional every time...beautiful and yet such a sad song..if only governments would listen to it
Mark is truly a brilliant songwriter and guitarist . . . we need more. And like many in the comments state, "his guitar weeps" like George portended.
Well said!
I am always taken aback by how much emotion is conveyed solely through the 🎸 by Mr. Knofler. Definitely one of my favorite tunes, despite being an Opeth fan.
I Can't listen to this song without tearing up...
The lyrics, The guitar... What a beautiful song.
What a great song to react to! Knopfler's finger-style playing is so expressive. I love every song on that album - So Far Away, Walk of Life, and Money for Nothing. Great trumpet and sax work in Your Latest Trick, and Ride Across the River is another atmospheric journey like Brothers in Arms. While not a concept album, it's one of those that is prefect to play from start to finish. While not on this album, I'd really want you to check out Telegraph Road. It's their most "epic" song and tells a story the way only Knopfler can. Cheers!
One of my favorite songs of the 80s. Thank you for listening
This song was on the first CD I ever bought in 1987, a superb piece of engineering and art that blew my mind away. Every song in this album still gives me goosebumps.
'We're fools to make war on our brothers in arms'... written because Mark had a grandfather on each side during WW2, one German, one English.
So many reactions have no insight or consideration for the skill Mark Knopfler displays on this track, the sublety of his playing with a mastery of playing the guitar with just enough weight and balance, no thrashing on the instrument, almost like a deft violin playing at times.
Most servicemen I know revere the song as a testament to them as a brotherhood.
Love the song, love the reaction, salute them all for their service!
One of the greatest singer/songwriter/performers this world has ever seen. This song is so powerful and is a fitting tribute to all those amazing men and women of the free world's militias, who give so much to keep us all free. Their sacrifices and consequently those of their families, are all so deeply appreciated by all of us.
A fitting complement to Memorial Day. A day we honor and remember the fellow Americans who died in our wars & battles, from 1775 to today. More than 1 Million souls. Bernie Taupin wrote "Where To Now, Saint Peter?" for Civil War soldiers. I dearly pray we strive to deserve their ultimate sacrifice.
I discover your channel and I'm so pleased to see new generations discover Bands like Dire straits.
Thank you for sharing your reactions on this master piece with this mesmerising mourning guitar.
You get a subscriber more ;=)
It's about a dying British soldier in the Falklands war. His comrades sat talking with him before he sadly passed.
-We can see a classic scene with this song, on the TV show "Miami Vice" in the 1980's, (in last scene of the episode: 'Out Where the Buses Don't Run')
This song is so full of emotion through both the lyrics and the music. As others have said, check out Telegraph Road, it is an EPIC. You might want to watch the live version on the aLCHEMY tour.
Everyone recommends Telegraph Road and I love it too, but also while you're there Private Investigations is a great song too.
As for Brother's in Arms, a very fitting end to a great album. The evidence in this song of MK's phrasing and use of space and time to convey emotion is tremendously successful and I love it for that. I don't consider anyone a great guitar player if they don't understand space, time and silence in the music they make. Notice in the beginning how he puts maybe only a note or two in and sometimes none at all in spots where you might find others starting to add more? He gets it. At least he sure gets me. :) Songs that are long and use space and time like this aren't radio friendly. They are written for those who have time to sit and think and absorb and to relisten through time and time again. All these years later, still listening. Not many songs get this kind of replay. No wonder to me why.
do tunnel of love, so far away, love over gold, telegraph road, romeo and julliet
These would be my top choices as well!
@@daveking9393 Romeo and Juliet from Alchemy Live!
The song, The Ghost of old tom joad' by Bruce Springsteen is well worth a listen.....
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame version with Tom Morello is one of the greatest live performances I think
Oh, my friend you should definitely react to "Telegraph Road" preferable from the "Alchemy" live concert. It is a masterpiece
While not necessarily underrated, Mark Knopfler, easily as distinctive as so many bigger names. Great backing keys, setting the tempo for the strings to thrive.
Mark is on of the most melodic players on the planet. I agree with suggestion of Telegraph Road.
Best Dire Straits song, by far
I've always liked that this song starts out with lyrics referring to "mist-covered mountains" - that's the name of an Irish / Scots trad tune that Mark Knopfler featured in his soundtrack to "Local Hero" (wonderful little classic film btw).
It's worth checking out Mark's film soundtracks. There are some real gems in them. Wild Theme is just beautiful and Altimira is too, to name just a couple.
Daniel your format is fabulous. Your take on it then facts. Good show!!
Agreed. Taking the time to understand a song's lyrics is always worthwhile, especially with a Mark Knopfler song.
So Far Away To Put Some Additional Perspective Brothers in Arms Was Both A Farewell to Veterans Whom Never Returned and to Honor Veterans Who had to Return home But Left Bits and Pieces of themselves (Often Arm or Legs but Also Feelings & Emotions etc.) on the Battle Field to Be buried with their Fallen Comrades. Things Which Were Too Horrific to Be Spoken of upon Returning these Were buried there and left abandoned for Sanity's Sake. I Was born in 1962 my Dad 22 yrs old & His Brother 21 yrs old were Korean War Combat Vets. They almost Never Talked about their Militar Service instead Burying the Bad Memories With their Fallen Brothers on the Battle Field ti Move on they Were Casualties of the Draft & Did What our Country Told Them To Do. And They knew it was a miracle they made it Home instead of Being Buried next to the Fallen There. Thats What this Solemn Song is About Dad Came Home to a Young Wife & First Son
Bit of a game changer, that one...
Brothers in Arms was one of the first albums recorded on a Sony 24-track digital tape machine. The decision to move to digital recording came from Knopfler's constant striving for better sound quality. "One of the things that I totally respected about him," Dorfsman observed, "was his interest in technology as a means of improving his music. He was always willing to spend on high-quality equipment."
Beautifully somber song about lost heroes!👍🏻❤️☮️🎤
This song, Telegraph Road, Industrial Disease and Making Movies are my favorite DS tunes.
Great reaction to a stunning song and very moving individual performance by musical genius Mark Knopfler.
One of my favs all time. I enjoy your choices, and intelligent breakdowns. UR Wise beyond your age.
Love this guy
This is a heartbreaking track. Simultaneously Mark Knopfler wrote the soundtrack to a indy film, back in the day, called "Cal" about the 'troubles' in Northern Ireland. This song always reminds me of this. There's hope regardless of the cost, and I just love the thought of camaraderie, a shared trust amongst friends, brothers. I think you already know Daniel that peace and love are always the answer. My best from Toronto. Great choice. Tim
Yardbirds' "Still I'm Sad", The Shadows - Cavatina (Theme From The Deer Hunter) and this are excellent lessons in guitar's so called violin sound, created with volume knob or pedal. :)
The inventor is said to be Jeff Beck, then in Yardbirds.
A perfect example of, less, is more.......timeless sentiments!
"Local Hero" (with Burt Lancaster) is a Movie you have to watch!!! Also "Wag the Dog" ( with Anne Heche Robert DeNiro Dustin Hoffman Willie Nelson Woody Harrison) both Music by Mark
My favorite Dire Straits song
Beautiful piece. The whole album has stood the test of time.
One of the most powerful song ever written packed full of emotion. There are many great songs by Dire Straights and lots have already mentioned but one that does not generally get the love it deserves is Private Investigations this is much underrated and in my opinion one of their very best
Just amazing ♥️ what a heartfelt Song!
What a pleasure to watch your first listen to such a magical piece of music
I bought this album in 1985 and then saw them on tour in Calgary. It was not an easy ticket to get. They sold out the Saddledome in 20 minutes for the first concert so they scheduled a second one 2 days letter and I managed to get a ticket to it. It also sold out in 20 minutes. This was before the internet so by telephone and box office sales they sold a total of 40 000 tickets in 40 minutes.
I have always loved this song. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it.
I saw Knopler as the co-guitarist on the Clapton tour in Montreal in 88, the year that I graduated high school, and I lost my mind hearing them do Tales Of Brave Ulysses. You should listen to some Cream, brother.
Always brings a tear to my eyes
Love this track. Thanks mate.
I love your serious approach to music :)
The song will do that do you. It's a heart-tearer-opener for sure.
Shivers everytime... Could be the 1000 time I listen to that masterpiece and everytime it gaves me the same feeling of completion and joy.
What, Mark was born in Glasgow, shame on me. Being from the SE of England I had no idea, always thought he was a native born Geordie. Knopfler was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and raised in Blyth, near Newcastle in England, from the age of 7.
Brilliant comments man. Love it.
Shear perfection! Enough said.
Thank you for sharing . I was surprised you didn’t know this song..I don’t know why . But I knew it would be a song you would feel deeply inside . The song has such a beautiful flow and I think people feel that flow and it’s so smooth . For me the combination makes me feel like I flow effortlessly on a journey and I’m relaxed and consumed completely..then when it ends it’s almost as if I’ve been in a trance and I’m not sure what I’ve experienced but it hit hard . It’s a masterpiece ..in fact the whole album is especially I think two songs that I think are called why worry and ride across the river .
A profound song. "We're fools to make war on our brothers in arms" indeed.
Despite this song appearing to centre around Knopfler's guitar, the excellent a capella group Home Free released a deeply #Haunting a capella arrangement of this.... & It's possibly the most moving vocals-only piece I've ever heard. Please give that a listen sometime. ;)
This song is so powerful I can’t help but cry thinking about war. Incredible
When I saw this video I could not click play fast enough, and was rewarded with an excellent and moving reaction to a fantastic and moving song. Well done!
To echo what others have said, you should react to Telegraph Road, it has a similar vibe and you do not get short-changed by the instrumental outro!
If you want more guitar, check the live version, in the tribute for Mandela
Beautiful song
Gorgeous, powerful and affecting. Deft, emotional guitar work, tender vocals, maybe their best.
Thank you - just thank you.
For a good miniseries on WWI, I highly recommend "The Passing Bells" (2014), "An epic historical drama spanning the five years of the First World War, as seen through the eyes of two ordinary young soldiers."
One fantastic song, great message too! Mark´s playing, like a drug...you just want more. The best of drugs! Thanks for your reaction, great!
This makes me cry...every time.
Wave of emotion -- you're not alone. This track has that effect on most people.
I really enjoyed this, it's a powerful song and it is a privelege to witness someone having an open and honest reaction to it. Another song of theirs that I think you would really appreciate is 'On Every Street'.
The music video is a MUST see as well
Great reaction and great track! Brothers In Arms in my top 5 all time album. Each track top notch. A definite candidate for a full album reaction. Want another tour de force? Ride Across the River from this album. The layers, textures and atmospheric sounds are a master piece. But please consider a full album reaction. BTW, this was the very first CD I purchased (way back in 1985).
Great react!
One of the best songs ever made!
The official video of this song is amazing
Masterpiece
Hey buddy. I've thoroughly enjoyed being subscribed to your channel, watching your horizons expand through the musical conduit of history that us 'elders' remember...
I've watched your reaction to this masterpiece 4 times now. I can relate to your beyond-your-years insight and feelings. May I suggest you be swallowed up by Dire Straits magnum opus "Telegraph Road" (studio version first) and dive deep into the story and musical greatness within?
Cheers, J
Brilliant x ty
Teary-eyed is a completely normal response to this track. Another of theirs that I like that has similar vibes to me is Ride Across the River. The soundtrack for Local Hero is excellent, and the film is well worth watching.
I'd go for Romeo and Juliet, Private Investigations or the huge Telegraph Road.
HEY DANIEL, HOW'S IT GOIN KID! :) ALWAYS GREAT TO HEAR AND SEE YOU! STAY WELL AND KEEP DOIN THOSE CLASSIC ROCK BANDS THAT I LOVE OF COURSE. :)
Watch the official video. Very powerful (with lyrics).
Ooo finally. I second, or third or millionth Telegraph Road. It's fun to listen to both of these songs when driving at night.
