    Mark, in his documentary Kill To Get Crimson talks about how often his songs have gone on to represent milestones in the lives of many.
    On the journey to my father’s recent funeral, I sat listening to Brothers in Arms AVO Session 2007 on repeat... an utterly beautiful piece of music. The comfort that it brought me at the time was without measure.
    Now, I am unable to separate the performance from my memory of that day... it has become so powerfully intertwined.
    Thank you Mark, your musicianship has undoubtedly had a profound effect upon me, your interpretation of both words and music has indeed become the soundtrack of my life.

    I am an amateur guitarist and the difficult thing about it it's not gaining speed but sounding emotional and play with your soul and not with your fingers. Knopfler and Gilmour...no one can't sound better than this legends.

      I am also an amateur guitarist I have been putting in around 4 to 7 hrs everyday for the last 5 years now. I have been playing for 30 years but I didn't take it as serious till 5yeats ago and I now have an addiction I wake up to every morning and I have been dreaming about playing, so I hope that I'm not putting in all this time and have just to think I will even be able to make someone smile I'm to old for the things that a lot of people who learn, I'd love to get together with anyone else

      His tone...indeed. I have only ever seem him use his Gibson Les Paul for this song. It has a much fatter, soulful tone that of the Fender Strat. An earlier comment says he makes love to his guitar. I figure that is the Les Paul. The Strat he simply shags artfully :-) But what a talent he is! I cannot understand why Keith Richards has been knighted and MK has not.

    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

    The greatest guitarist in my opinion. The most soulful, the most enigmatic, the most beautiful. Emotion, power, subtlety, he has it all. Ive never heard the guitar sound so heavenly than when it is being played by mark. For me he is the genius without parallel. I am a guitarist and i can tell you that to emulate this man is the hardest thing ive ever attempted. Thankyou mark for being born.

      When I was finally able to set up a proper 5.1 system for the first time, the 5.1 mix from the SACD that I had just bought for this purpose had me weeping all over again, with those thunderclaps coming out of the rear speakers, then Mark's magnificent guitar coming at me from all sides.
