Possibly the greatest song ever written by the most humble gent in music
Agree 👍
This is also the best version of it!!!!
@@Mark-on2mt
Hit the right notes... he did indeed...! Goosebumps he gave me.
"We have just one world, but we live in different ones....we're fools to make war on our brothers in arms" what more is there is to say?
Indeed what more can say
@@sampame1436 True that, the rich get rick and peasants die
You are right
God bless Ukraine
Yes!!!!
Seems indisputable to me that he has two voices, one from his throat and the the other from his fingers, both exceptionally expressive.
Its amazing really. No one else can get away singing a just audible croak....and still sound right. He could go on forever now.....
🎼🎵🎸😎🔥❤❤🔥🥁🎸
Pure emotion. My favorite song. A masterpiece. You're a legend. I love you Mr.Knopfler. You're the best of the world forever.😘♥️😘♥️😘♥️😘♥️😘😘
Su voz, sus temas, su estilo son adictivos. Lo escucho y quedo atrapada en su red de notas, gestos y palabras. Bellísimo!!

I can listen to this song twenty times in a row and I won’t get bored.
SC Only twenty?
This song make me cry actuell ewen today with all wars around the world only a Ginius can wrote this song best antiwarsong ewen bee wroten
I'll see your twenty and raise you five. This is the best version of 15 others.
I sometimes start this song when I go to bed and let it play all night, it's so piecefull. On weekends, when I can stay in bed longer I even let it play for another 1-2 hours .. then it literally plays for 10h straight :D Never get bored of this masterpiece
It's on loop for me for days in a row sometimes, helps me work nicely
One of the most beautiful songs ever.
I am a "veteran" this song really hits the emotional mark.
If you ride a motorcycle, look up RTTW. org. this song is their signature tune. But you don`t need to ride a bike. Just have a look and turn up, you`ll be amazed
Thank you for your service brotha !
Thank you for your service brotha .
@@johnworrall3646 I cried when i first heard this, and I got out in 70
I can imagine you felt in tears when you see so many awful things!
Happy 70th birthday, Mark Knopfler. Never let your guitar down!
I have loved this song since I first heard it in the 1980s. I stumbled upon new depths of meaning on holiday in the Netherlands last year. We were cycling along the river Waal just downstream from the city of Nijmegen where there had been fierce fighting in 1944 in the attempt to cross the Waal and relieve British paras trapped on the Rhine at Arnhem some 10 miles north. We came across a memorial on the riverbank to 49 men of the US 82nd Airborne who had died in what war historians have described as a semi-suicidal opposed daylight crossing. It was successful, but at great cost. Ultimately of course it was a futile waste of life, as they could not then force a way through to Arnhem. They had died fighting for their brothers in arms just 10 miles away. As we stood at the memorial an young Dutchman came by and shared our moments of respect. He was two generations removed from that conflict but said he stopped by regularly to honour the men who died to liberate his city and country. As we chatted I noticed a small tribute which someone had placed at the foot of the memorial stone. It was a photo and some memorabilia in memory of a young soldier, 26 years old, who had died in Afghanistan in 2009. Next to his photo was a verse from "Brothers in Arms". I assumed he was also US Airborne and his loved ones had wanted to mark the link with his regiment's past. But when I got home I did some research and discovered that he was corporal Kevin van de Rijdt of the Dutch special forces who had been killed by the Taliban in September 2009. Like the men at Nijmegen, he had been far from home, fighting with his brothers in arms. Someone - parent, partner, or fellow soldier had wanted to make the connections in time and space. I find this very moving and can't now listen to that song without visualising the Waal memorial and Kevin's picture. The cause may be noble and the soldiers heroic but the human cost is tragic. For me, Knopfler has absolutely nailed the war song for all time. Thank you.
I completely agree with that statement, one of the best songs on the album, I am currently working on trying to learn this on guitar
Best regards from the Netherlands.
Thanks for sharing that. Powerful sentiment.
Thank you for sharing this with the world
I only sent you love, i was born near the Waal.
I find it re Mark able that Mark's voice has remained virtually the same for 40+ years.
Simple true.
Probably didn't smoke that much 😉
Doesn't do too much yelling and shouting. Didn't abuse it with smoking and drugs, from what I can tell.
I don’t think he used drugs, but he was a chain smoker for a long time from what I’ve read online, and from what I have seen in videos of interviews. But I think he stopped smoking sometime in the 90’s.
@@McVaerk In his early years he smoked very much.
the best in the world, nothing more to say. Thanks Mr. Knopfler
Indeed, right there with Dave Gilmour of Pink Floyd.
No he is the best! He doesn't have to compete with dave gilmore or whoever Mark is a King Emperor much respect to this man, about time people paid him homage he hasn't defiled himself publicly like the others have x❤️

@@SC-su1zb Gilmour and Knopfler are both gods. No one else is on their level.
There's a lot of guitar gods, but they are unique. I love both.
It's not competition btw.
The song of my life. Pure emotion. Fabulous. Magic. MK my genius. I love you.❣😘❣😘❣
this song will live forever
MASTERPIECE.
JUST MASTERPIECE ALL I HAVE TO SAY.
Mark knopfler plays and his guitar speaks. Genius
One of the greatest music of all times! Its Just surreal! Mark knopfler is like a good old wine, Just get better with age!
❤ Mark K.’s 🎸🎤 ✍️’s SO MUCH! I’m going on 70 now and only discovered him about 8 yrs ago when a boyfriend I had back then introduced me to his song ‘Are We in Trouble Now’. He’s the whole package imo - I especially his soft soothing voice, the way he plays the guitar w/o any ‘pomp and circumstance’, but mostly it’s the lyrics that he writes and how easy it is to relate to them for various reasons and situations (at least for me they are). I can’t say that I don’t also like David Gilmour or their earlier work together as a band - I do listen to them too, but Mark has his own ‘gift’ as a soloist 👍👏, and is a shining star 🌟in his own right. Thank you Richard (may you RIP) for introducing me to him, and to you Mark for touching my soul with your beautiful music - more than both of you will ever know 🙏
For all the joy this man has bough us with both his unusual way of playing and the words to songs that we can never forget, as he says they are oart of our lives, i wish him A long and happy life, and the ability to keep coming back and giving us more of those wonderful sounds that it seems only he can make.
I watch him play, and see a man who is at one with the instrument, almost as if its part of him, a true bit of history for the books, and I hope a long line of lovely songs that are themselves stories, either about life or someone special, either to him or all of us
Thank you Mark you really are an inspiration to our souls and our love of good music, live long and live healthy and happy.
I NEVER get bored listening to Mark Knopfler and his songs 🎼🎵🎶🎷🎸🎹 a brilliant guitar wizard and songwriter...A true Legendary...Greetings from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬
Not only has Mark KNOPFLER given the entire world fantastic music, year after year, but, his videos of places he’s performed at as well! Places, I and probably many other might never have seen these beautiful places if not for you bringing them along with your music, like Taromina, how great! The song and the beautiful place, and many others as well....God be with you Mark, stay safe, and thank you for bringing all of this to the entire world 🌎 You’re Amazing!
I, just, really wanted you to know what you’ve brought into my life just by watching your videos, God bless you, and you band,for that. Know what a difference you have made to peoples lives all around this world..✨
One of the best artists on this planet. Great song and composition.
What we do in life echoes in eternity.
Brings a mist to my eyes. Beautiful song, beautiful performance, and a younger Mark Knopfler in his prime. Time cares nothing for any of us. Heed that and live while you can, my friends. 🙂
can’t help crying when the music rings.
For me, Mark Knopfler is one of the all time greatest!
I got tears in my eyes when the song startet... this song is one of the best ever written. The emotions in this song are stunning
The dramatic calmness in his voice..actually is MK's powerful expression like poetry
Through these fields of destruction….. and the band kicks in. Top class music 🎵 Grateful to be alive and listening to these tunes
still one of the greatest songs ever composed in 2020 !
He played this in 1985 at the live aid concert. Great song. Ironic isn't it that it was the same year that Prof Carl Sagan warned about climate change,..and here we are still heating up the world. Man never will learn !
If I recall correctly. When this song was shown on TOTP 's there were images of the israeli/ palestinian conflict. It ought to be played everywhere now in light of the recent events !
THE.TONE.
Thank you some much Sir for the inspiration you distilled threw all those years .
A devoted french fan.
Beautiful song. I'm a fan of Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler. Songs that will never die!
Nope never never!!!!🎤🎻🎷🎹🎶🎵🎼🎧❤
Every time you sing this song I am brought to tears, Bless You Mark Knopfler!
My first LP Record was Brothers in arms. I miss the 80's so much... Time of great musicians. Mark Knopfler rules!
💫Brothers In Arms - Lyrics💫
"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 higher
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 are fools to make war
On our brothers in arms"
Songwriters: Mark Knopfler

Thank you. 🦋
As a Veteran this song is my anthem. As a Vietnam Bet this songs speaks to my heart and my fellow vets. We went through hell. The hell was all Vets were treated like murderers. Unjustly.
So true and I am one also
Was so lucky to to see Mark play Newcastle arena a few weeks back. Was beautiful and reduced me to tears with his playing and his voice. Truly an inspiration xxx
Hey brother I thank God for blessing you such a beautiful gift
I always remember putting this album on and secretly wanting this track to come around quickier. Then get lost in it and wonder about all the things he talks about here, then getting lost further as he plays the solo out to the end. Doesn't get any better.
I do this as well with the profound intention of getting lost in the middle part and further again with live different flying solo. Gets me hard every single time.
Absolutely the Best In the World ! As I weep for Steuart, Joe , Marshall who didn't make it nack and to the ones who returned so hurt....and to of us who yry and live for them ....Thank You again Sir for your Masterful Musical journey of Work for this we Thank You...ol vet way down in TX..Goodness Grace Happiness and Continued Success and to all Brothers and Sisters serving and Veterans...Salute..carry on my friends...for those suffering find that one human who will help ...guess I've rambled enough..Blessings ol vet
Marc Knopfler is THE BEST GUITAR PLAYER! alive. Not only for his outstanding playing, he's the only one who can play meoldies! And he can tell stories, and ......
sono di Milano e son nato nel 52 , la mia vita è stata costellata da grandi interpreti e voci straordinarie , nel 66 ero ad ascoltare i Beatles al Vigorelli , e via così per tutta la mia gioventù . Di tutte le voci , quella di Mark Knopfler è quella che mi emoziona ancora . La sua enorme capacità di trasmettere un messaggio è straordinariamente supportata da un suo carattere eccezionalmente calmo e presente . Ogni sua nota non è mai buttata li nel mucchio , mai anticipata per il furore del pubblico . Misurata e fantasticamente comunicativa , con il suo carattere forte e pacato riesce a dare forza ad ognuna delle infinite note che ha offerto al suo pubblico . Lo considero , tra i grandi , il migliore .
Mark Knopfler is most definitely one of my all time favourite guitar players,i love the melodic sound of his guitar and voice with Dire Straits and on his own as well,i love his finger picking style,truely one of the greatest and most unique guitar player and musician around with an everlasting sound.Thanks Mark
Very beatifull. Thank You Master 🙏
God has blessed you mark ,and I thank God for you, and i pray that every night that God stays dwelling in your Hart, as he always did,I want to thank you, for your dedication, Mark Johnston.
I have and never get tired listening to him...so exceptionally talented
This song vibrates in my soul. So deep...
Mark makes me vibrate just lookin at him,especially when younger as he has aged a bit,ha
MJ MK 😄
Nobody sounds like Mark Knopfler, one of the most underrated guitar players..beautiful
Libby Howes underrated? are you KIDDING?
@@P51 yeah underrated doesn't get the recantation he deserves my opinion I personally think he is one of the greats
I think he is not underrated but he has very dedicated fan base like you and me.
Magic! The best guitarist of the world!
DiAbLo P M Van Halen is still Alive My man 😂✌️
@@niklasthoma3089 not anymore
@@niklasthoma3089 oh god this didn't age well. Resquiat in pace Eddie
This song is really one of the greatest of all times.
Makes me nostalgic for something I was never a part of.
I like your comment, "Makes me nostalgic for something I was never a part of." My feelings exactly! Thank you for articulating so well the emotion!
Everytime I hear this sing. I see the wide rivers flow across the mountains valleys and beaches so golden. Then I see the destruction of war and the inconcense lost in generations of revenge greed power. Then through story songs and ballads strong as this shows the heartache of those who see and feel the need for peace. One song to tell it all. For war has no heroes just death.
And Mark this version just sums it all up 🌈💜🌈
Oh thanks God! For this amazing man y his awesome music and my father too because he showed me Dire Strites
First album I bought, when I was 11. Vinyl. Still have it somewhere. To think 500k subs but someone making videos of their husky having a blow dry has double that. Youth of today. Dumb and numb.
Mark, top 10 inspirational people of all time in my opinion. I hope you have a beautiful day.
This is the best version of "Brothers in Arms" than any other version I have heard studio recorded or otherwise.
Maybe you are hard of hearing ? 😳
The studio version is a perfect one, every note is in the right place as if it’s obvious (not to mention the voice).
This live version seems flavourless next to it. 🤷🏻
Wrong@@cedrics.8370
This song is a true classic! He never gets timeless and always enjoys hearing him. Thank you for this great composition that everyone enjoyed and was worth to see the light of day.
For all my old fallen comrades from rhodesian war. I salute you. Thank you for your time. God bless you always. 💖💖👍👍never forgotten.
Mark, Gilmour, Clapton, Slash, Sambora, Mathias, The Edge, Page... Genius of Guitar!
The list you made is so hard to accept slash in it.
Euh the edge????
Such a beautiful sad song. War is sick and vile. It brings out a beauty and sadness of man's losses but that love can be had in other ways than violence. Look at the World at War series after WWII. I recall as a kid watching just after WWII - late 1950s. We are all human beings first. Death should come last.
Brothers In Arms and Private Investigation, are my favorites. Several years ago I listened to them over and over again. Thank you. Thank you Mark Knopfler
Great concert; sound is perfect and Mark is at his best: relaxed, telling the story of each song...feels like a conversation in front of the fireplace!!!!
Masterpiece song..
How sad do you have to be to dislike this. Who hurt you
Woow I love this song, super masterpiece thank you so much Mark you're amazing 🙏🙏🙏👍😉🎸❤🔥
Mark Knoplfer playing this wonderfull Gibosn Les Paul with is acoustic guitar background is just incredible i think this my favorite version of this song
Such an amazingly beautiful, haunting song sung and played with so much emotion. 💗
Perfect
This man, this band, these songs are like Port Wine: the older the best... This music transport me to a world some years light ahead of the current main mentality in Earth.
Thanks Mark and all!
I love This song!! Thanks Mark!!
When you play this song... I come back to the 80's..and i feel like i was.
My first fully digital mastered cd I bought. Played it on a B&O system. You never fotget that moment.
Oohhh the memories comes flashing back. 80's was and always the best!
I defineatly agree,his style of music sure has changed since then,but so has he!!!
The sun will refuse to shine the day Mark Knopfler leaves this place.
Such an amazing artist with such a meaningful song.... Every chord, every lyric, the depth of the voice, all speak to my heart!!
Lost count of how many times I've listened to this now :) especially when working on the bikes the past few weeks. Truly magnificent music that more people my age really need to listen to.
Simplesmente excelente.
Uma das melhores apresentações que já vi.
Sensational performance of a masterpiece ! Thanks maestro !
Yes he is
The best. I can listen to a song for days..
Feeling as emotional today as I was back in the 80s when I got the album. Thanks for keeping us sane during the lockdown Mark.
Oh no, I hope this isn't the end of your wonderful posts. I so look for to them on the you tube channel. I love anything you do. You are an amazing talent Mr Knopfler! I so love all your songs and performances. You are a one in a billion. God Bless you sir. May you keep on entertaining all of us that so much love you. You are the last remaining perfect talent that we have. Please never stop!!!
雖然你的熱情很誇張，但是我喜歡，因為馬克諾弗勒真是一位很迷人的吉他樂高手。
Best guitarist in the world, spot on
Tengo 39 años, llevo escuchando Dire Straits desde que tenía 10 años,cada día, cada año que pasa en mi vida me gusta más, después de 29 años escuchando brother in arms en momentos malos y buenos siempre estáis en mi corazón Dire Straits. Thanks Mark

And there will only ever be one mark Knopfler
Yes............
What a beautiful song!! A musical and lyrical gem... and human beings are sick and we continue to make wars.....
When I was 10 years old. I was fortunate enough to listen to the alchemy album. Since then dire Straits have always been part of my life., I picked up a guitar because of this man. I’m not very good as I didn’t practice enough, but what I do know is thanks to him.
Always so many emotions when listening to this track in one word "merci" mark love you from france
