Mark Knopfler wrote this about the Falklands war between Argentina and the UK in 1982.
a song about a mortally wounded soldier dying on the battlefield and his Brothers not leaving him to die alone... Written about the Falklands war between The UK and argentina in the 80's.
Mark turned 75 last week and dropped 9 new tracks, One Deep River (Deluxe), on YT. So he still writes them like that. This song is written from the perspective of a mortally wounded soldier and his final thoughts. One of the best anti-war songs ever. Also saw him at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville during the Sailing To Philadelphia tour. Between his music and the venue it was idyllic and also the first time he and Emmylou Harris collaborated to my knowledge. Unlike most older bands that rested on their laurels at some point Mark never has and we are blessed by it and I'm not a religious sort. Hope you enjoy his work as much as I have for decades now.
Dire Straits Telegraph Road live Alchemy is a must watch 😊
YES AGREED, it's a FANTASTIC performance, i reacted to it but its blocked by YT :/ Why oh why...??!!
@@Lijie that’s unfortunate, hope you try to upload it again soon, good luck 😉
I'm Australian, I was gifted a slouch hat that belonged to my grandfather from ww2. I'll never wear it, I've never served. But I'll pass it on to my child
What a historic gift to receive from your grandfather, and to pass it on to your child...❤
Really deep song. Great video-art too …..won a Grammy for Best Music Video that year.
And deservedly so. It's such a powerful and emotional watch every time. Knopfler is a genius songwriter/guitarist/storyteller and this amazing and iconic video perfectly demonstrates that. 🙋♂
Baptism of fire where I come from, is the same as being thrown in the deep end with no experience.
The same where I come from re: Baptism of fire , thrown in the deep end , without help
Saw Dire Straits Live twice in April and September 1992. I was still a kid and had discovered the band a couple years before with the Money For Nothing greatest hits record. I immediately fell in love with their music and with mark Knopfler’s singing and guitar playing.
They had officially broken up since 1988 and there was no chance they would make another album and tour. Against all odds, they announced they were getting back together in 1991. You can’t imagine how exited I was.
The shows were amazing. The crowds went completely mad! I’ve been to many a concerts since then, but never have I experience such a thing ever again.
This song makes me cry every time I hear it. It's like his guitar is pleading with him not to go, and to come home. In the end,... he doesn't, and the guitar just wails through the end of the song.
"Wild Theme" (live) from the Local Hero Movie by Mark Knopfler so beautiful
“Tunnel of Love” live is really impressive ! Peak Dire Straits on that one.
The Wembley 1985 version is legendary th-cam.com/video/6rlk34NuIoI/w-d-xo.html
Inspired by the Falklands War of 1982 and still very relevant today, which was when the Argentinians invaded The Falkland Islands in the South Pacific and we (The UK) sent a task force to get them back.
The video is still amazing.
Lijie, loved your reaction to Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms".
As a retired veteran myself, this song is very moving and close to my heart.
I really liked your critique of the lyrics of the song towards the end of your reaction.
keep them coming! 👍❤
Thank you so much Chuck, God bless you and THANK YOU for your service to this amazing country! ❤️🇺🇸
@@Lijie ❤
Hi lijie, enjoyed your reaction to dire straits. They were unstoppable in their time. Liking your covers 😀
😍😍😍 Thank you!! Greetings from Stockholm, Sweden.
Baptism of Fire is an expression meaning not really getting a break, being thrown in the fire with no chance to prepare or survive, learn enough to cope.
Maybe look at the Album versions of Telegraph Road, Private Investigation ...
This song is one of my FAVORITES!
Sultans of swing is my all time favorite song from the same band
Yes telegraph road is worth reaction to. So is is “once upon a time in the west “ and “waterline “
"Baptism of fire" is a well know British phrase meaning a very difficult introduction any new situation.
I have known this song for years but only found out recently that David Knopfler wrote it as a tribute to his friends who were killed in the Falklands War
No, Mark Knopfler wrote it after hearing something his dad said.
Did Mark write this or his brother David??! 🤯
@Lijie Mark wrote this song, it is a very well known fact. If you watch this clip at 1:58 you can see Mark himself explain it.

I'm in Texas great reaction. I love our military....GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS. I served 26 years 13 Army and 13 Navy.
Thank you for your service, God bless you Roy 🙏
Great reaction, Lijie! Well balanced and with a lot of sensitivity and respect for the artists.
by a great Scottish born english living artist mark knopfler is one of the guys on my mount Rushmore of musicians
Go and watch their live performances. Mind altering.
Yes Mark Knophler is One of The Best Guitarists Ever You Hear & Feel the Sadness Without Any Words It Brings Tears its so Good !!
Baptism of Fire is a Biblical Reference Meaning 1 of 2 Things. It Can Be Fir Purification If Things to Get Rid of Diseases or burning of Clothes & Bedding to Get Rid of Parasites or Diseases Like Cholera or Leoprosy. Also Can Mean From rbsce Heating of Metal For Tempering to Harden Steel or Iron for Tools so They Won't Break
Baptism of fire, a soldiers first time in combat is his Baptism of fire..
Oh I see …thank you for explaining this line!🙏
This is a proper masterpiece. 👍👍
-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')
Nice video, nice reaction.
I know this is a video about music. Still you talk about America, patriotism, war, freedom and that you thank the soldiers for serving your country.
Nothing wrong with your feelings.
I live in a country with almost 80 years of no war. This is because my country wants to live in peace with it´s neighbours.
The US _started_(!!) several wars during this time. Can one say these soldiers fought for peace? I´m aware it´s not the soldiers fault that the wars happend.
I live in a country where I have the freedom to walk almost anywhere, am free to enter almost any lake, wood, mountain. I don´t fear guns, don´t fear police, don´t fear to get imprisioned, can let my daughter walk alone at night, can cross borders to our neighbor countries while barly noticing the borders. Have visitied more than 15 countries in various continents, learned their good and bad. Our schools are free and don´t need police. Can have a beer while in public, have access to affordable natural healthy food, don´t have the fear to get fired because of nothing, don´t have the fear to go bankrupt because of medical bills or loss of job. have a higher life expectancy, leave my car unlocked and my house is amost never key locked. I even don´t need a fence around my house to my adjacent neigbors. Am not afraid of foreigners. Have the right to demonstrate.
This is my freedom. But no, my country is not perfect. But I appreciate these things that make every day life so relaxed and healthy - that is almost impossible for a short term visitor to experience.
If you don´t have yet: make your own experience by visiting other countries. Own experience is better than hearsay. You learn for life. And yes - maybe you learn to appreciate your country even more.
Hi Lijie miss seeing you, thanks for reacting to this song, you are so right about being blessed to live in this country, GOD bless the men and woman who serve in our military to protect our freedoms, another song by Dire Straits you should check out is ROMEO AND JULIETT, I think you,ll like it. I,m still waiting for you to disc o
ver RAY WILSON, I think you will like him also. As far as baptism by fire i,m not sure, but anyone who is willing to die for what they believe in especially freedom should be baptized, war is HELL. and anyone who has lived through it must have some terrible memories. GOD BLESS THEM.
Hi Gene, always wonderful seeing your name pop up!! 👋👋👋❤️
Nice reaction, but I want to comment on the sample of your work at the end. You have a lovely voice!
Thank you so much Gregor, for staying till the end and for your supportive comment!! 🙏
A little tip that might help you to not get blocked by TH-cam: try breaking up the song in half with some extended commentary (say 2 to 3 min.). For very long pieces, make a comment every 5 minutes or so. People claim that this helps appease the copyright gods.
Yes good tip! It’s a fine balance between talking too much and not enough 😉😁
The guitar cries
Hi nice channel and reactions. This song Brothers In Arms is so chilling Live from Dire Straits - Live "On The Night" 1993. The instrumental and guitar solo from Mark Knopfler and pedal steel guitar solo from Paul Franklin is jaw dropping.Every reactor I've seen said it had a huge impact. Also from this concert, Private Investigations is so haunting too. And just lastly, the song Telegraph Road from Alchemy Live Dire Straits 1983 is so beautiful. They really are great Live. Cheers all the best from Australia 👍🎸🎸🎸
Hello to you in Australia, thank you for your request of Private Investigations!!
@@Lijie Love your channel. Best reactor 👍
You are insanely attractive *but* this passed you by!
MAKE LOVE NOT WAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watch..Sabaton..en livstid i krig..live Gothenburg, there you got babtised in blood
Good day my lady *Lijie* can I and my fellow maidiacs get you closer to the road of 10k? Please check out a band from Japan called *BAND-MAID* and the song *alone (Official Music Video)* hope to see you there. 😊
south atlantic not pacific
It refers to your first time in an actual fire fight. Actual combat ( Operation Just Cause ,& Desert Storm )
That makes sense very true thanks for the defiinition.
he is dying...tearjerker level 17 out of 10
I think you will find he is already dead.
"These mist covered mountains are home now to me" is his grave
He is from the lowlands which he states in the next line.
A later line states they hurt him so bad but his brothers stayed with him until the end.
@@BikersDoItSittingDown wow - I think you are indeed right - never saw the words that way but once you got it my head it seems right. Thanks.
Batpism of blood
Americans don't understand English music and culture 😅😅😅😅
Nothing on the live version
