Hi everyone! Seeing as this is my most popular video at the moment I thought I'd consider doing another Dire Straits song. Which one would you like me to play?
I'd suggest their best known song Sultans Of Swing. Your "relaxing version" of Brothers In Arms is quite different from others, for I've checked out a few because I'm in the process of learning it (you can check out my short video of it if you like). I also like your David Bowie cover of Life On Mars... Have you tried his Space Oddity? Anyway you have a new sub ))
An exquisite performance, which pays proper reverence to this timeless and beautiful ‘War Hymn’. One of the ‘Top 4’ performances which I have ever heard of Brothers in Arms…. And two of those Top 4 were by Mark Knopfler himself. Exquisite and moving.
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
How did you know that was another favorite of mine?! Such a beautiful song, and the solos communicate just as much as the lyrics. I don't know what it's like to fight in battle, but this song captures that bittersweet brotherhood better than any other. And you did it justice, as always. Thank you! 😊
So beautiful and graceful how you play, really enjoy watching your performances. You bring so much elegance to every piece you play👏👏👏 love your music🎹✨✨ ✨✨✨✨✨✨
Hi John, thanks for your comment. I'm pleased that you enjoy my arrangement, and 'War Hymn' is a perfect description of this very special song. I'm sorry to hear your comments about the sound quality as this is one of the things I spend a lot of time on trying to perfect. I will try and do better with future videos.
@@TheASMRPianist Hi….. Your performance is truly sublime, one of the best three I have ever heard, and one of those three was by Mark Knopfler himself in Niems, France, in 1992. Quite apart from your undoubted skill as a Pianist, I feel that you truly ‘felt’ this music, which I do truly feel is a ‘War Hymn’. One cannot simply ‘perform’ this piece, one must ‘feel it’, and you clearly did. It was magnificent. Unfortunately, yes, I do feel that the sound quality was nowhere near the quality of your performance. But overall, this performance deeply touched my Heart.
Wow, that's praise indeed! Thanks so much. This album was one of my earliest musical memories as my parents bought the album when it came out ( I was 2!), so I definitely 'feel' the music, it's one of my all time favourite albums. Thanks again John, I'm glad you enjoyed my performance and I will definitely strive to improve sound quality for future videos. Have a lovely weekend!

Romeo and juliet
This tender rearranged harmony you created is a unique meditation, and a proof that original meaning generation is always possible and welcomed
An exquisite performance, which pays proper reverence to this timeless and beautiful ‘War Hymn’.

Exquisite and moving.
Wow, such lovely words. Thanks for watching, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@@TheASMRPianist A truly exquisite performance….. You paid such deep reverence in your performance of this timeless Piece.
"This mist covered mountain..."
What a beautiful song you play brother.
Thank you very much.
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
10 minutes? - I could listen 20 or 30 minutes to this one song! 😍 Thank you for sharing!
You had me in the first bar. Absolutely mesmerising!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah it's such a powerful song. Glad you like it! 😊

I think it's funny... This version is less likely to put me to sleep than the original. 😆
Doesn't mean I don't enjoy it, I really do! It's very nice.

A beautiful performance which properly respects this beautiful ‘War Hymn’, but unfortunately the sound quality is terrible.
