I'm a french air force veteran, and my daughter is now a NCO in the french air force, and this song makes think that the link has not been broken. We are all members of this chain, whatever have been our uniforms, our brotherhood is bigger than anything else. Long live the Royal Marines.
I lost my Brother in 1986, I was only 18 , he was 21. We loved Dire Straits together. I’m 55 now, miss him every moment of everyday. Why are the good always taken early, he was my real Brother. I miss you Peter 🥰🌟👌🏻👍. Thank you Royal Marines for playing Sweet Music 🥰🌟👍👌🏻🥃🥃
My Condolences, sir.

Take care sir !

Sorry for your loss my friend
The singer and the guitarist is spot-on with the delivery of this song. Salute to each and everyone of the members of the HM Royal Marines. To all those who had fallen, may you rest in peace.
“You did not desert me, my brothers in arms” gets me EVERY-TIME
yeah
Beautiful❤
Bloody outstanding Sarge and CPL, I'm an Aussie Veteran, got a bit of dust in my eye, didn't cry, just dust in the eyes 🙌
Sorry brother, I got a tear in mine.
I saw Bloody , first ( Bluey my awesome proud Korean Air Force but bloody. was dad’s word and I , bloody beautiful , Nots ( nickname ) I love ❤️ this and is used for a friends , mate (27 ) drowned at Gunamatta Surf 🏄 beach ,huge RIP , 6 years ago . . I had never heard it until then !
Bless you , all those who have given lives to their countries . Boy I miss Bluey , red hair self made everything , who smart also ! South Korea , have more free speech than me , me dad , here in worlds most locked down city 🌃 you loved , so proud , zoo guide, bloody fiasco dad !
As a South African who fought in the Border War, I felt it in my heart. We will NOT forget.
it is not dust
I take your word for it.
I wasn’t a Marine, but a U.S. Army Sgt. 1970-76 and a rifle instructor. There is not a year goes by, but that I reflect on the terrified faces of the young recruits preparing to go to war in Vietnam. Then I wonder how many of those faces never came home alive, and could I have trained them better?….and yes, I too have my dreams and moments at night !
Thank you for your service, so I may rest at night.
Thank you sir,from the uk
My father served as an MP and was sent to Vietnamin 1965 where he became a door gunner with the aviation battalion that was assigned to the 173rd AB for their first 16 months in Vietnam. He was one of four in his entire company that came home without a Purple Heart. He later re-enlisted and went into the Air Force. As the dice that was my destiny were rolled, I ended up enlisting in the Marine Corps (mainly because of this very song and bearing witness for almost three straight weeks walking past the hangar where countless Marines were brought to be made ready for their "final" deployment (the Beirut barracks bombing) as a 15 year old on his way from school to football practice. I drew the long straw and luckily never had to go to war. But I was in Germany for countless terrorist attacks, the deaths of 14 men in my Dad's squadron and the Combat Controllers they worked with daily, seeing the men and woman (some only 3 or 4 years my elder) fighting back tears and choking down cigarettes one after another on breaks from the ghastly duty of theirs with those Marines. Death has visited me, even though I never had a bullet or bomb thrown my way "directly" in anger...
It does not matter if you are not a Marine, you are still my brother... SEMPER FIDELIS!!!
@@Wolverines77 Thank you for your kind words!
Sono italiano e credo nell'amore e nella pace tra i popoli. Lo sto proponendo in tanti post. Questa poesia in musica deve diventare un inno. Ci proviamo? La vostra versione è bellissima. La voce di chi la canta trasmette un pathos unico. Grazie.
As an ex Royal Navy matelot who lost brothers in arms and close friends in '82 this song will always hold a very special place in my heart,, bless you all
My friend, This is a soldiers song to the core. I feel I can truthfully say that I am among this Sacred Brotherhood, as was my Father who served in the United States Marines. I have come to the belief that more of my Brothers in Arms have been felled by politicians lies than enemy bullets. Please, do your best to hold any you know to be liars accountable. Dune U.S. Army 67-70 ....

Ever need a chat I’m here.
Ich werde es versuchen aber versprechen kann ich nichts❤
May your brothers be at peace sir . Lest we forget ✝. Thank you for your service x.
@@loyalsupportisthebestever At the setting of the sun we will remember them.
I was a soldier in the Dutch army and I was deployed twice to Somalia and Afghanistan and we lost 12 Brothers rip 🫡🫡
From an Argentine Soldier my most pure and sincere congratulations for this epic version of such a great Mark Knppfler's song... 😢
That is a class comment sir. Very much appreciated.
Thank you Sir🤝
God bless you
U.S. Army 66-70 , This is a soldier's song. Mark Knopfler understood the pain any righteous soldier feels to have to take the life of another soldier, no matter how necessary it may seem at the time. Millions up millions of soldiers lives have been lost because the people of their own country did not have the Love of Jesus Christ in them and therefore lacked the courage to tell the truth. Fear is the opposite of having the Love of Jesus Christ in you. Jesus was a *WARRIOR* for the truth, and died on the Cross. Any person that protects a lying politician or any world leader that has sent a soldier to die because they lied is responsible for the death of that soldier more than their supposed enemy on the battlefield.
God bless you my friend ❤
As a decorated US, Vietnam combat veteran I have always loved this song since the first time I heard it in the 1980s. When I heard of the Falkland war in 1982, my first thought was of those 'Brothers in Arms' I had lost so many years ago.
Then I cried thinking of those valiant men of HM Royal Service experiencing the same things a decade later. The Bands of HM Royal Marines have provided us with an outstanding rendition of this ‘classic’ remembrance song, arguably as good as “I Vow to Thee My Country”.
Thank you for this memorable and moving rendition. A truly remarkable performance of this heartfelt song.
God bless and may the Queen's soul rest in peace.
thanks for youer service

Thank you for keeping us free! Props.
This woman sings with the heart on her shoulder... such an amazing voice
С сердцем на плече? Это как?! 🤔
@@kozerogmoskva112I think they mean "sleeve" instead of "shoulder". It means to make your feelings and emotions obvious rather than hiding them.
whatever it means... all I know when I was in phenomen of my exaggeration I have heart on my shoulder to became my own myself@@bengmelea8646
Very wow from a German !!!❤
over 50 years ago i walked through the gates of HMS Raleigh still my brothers in arms rest in peace those brave men who now sleep in those cold south atlantic waters never forgotten always you will rememberd
Almost 60 years ago I walked through those same gates. My brother in arms!
Man that guitarist nailed that.... just superb playing.
Well done from 🇦🇺
He is brilliant
Knopfler would be proud
Did you notice the guitar player finger pics like Mark does
I had Never seen David Gilmour play on a Les Paul :B
FMF Navy Corpsmen here Vietnam Vt. Thank you for this song it was done fantastically and with honor. This lady left it all on the stage. Welcome home my green brothers and god bless all service men and women.
These Marines are not just musicians, in time of conflict they serve as medics!
From a ex - British soldier this Royal Marine Bands plus the singer’s are absolutely fantastic I get goosebumps just listening to these guys
Ха у меня нет мурашек потому что Русский ю андестенд
@@user-to4wr8mk4b Это потому, что вы, "русские" - параллельная ветвь развития человечества, к сожалению, для такого большого количества населения, и вы этим гордитесь.
Где бы вы были, если бы не помощь Америки в 20-30 годы прошлого столетия, когда вам помогали продуктами, а потом строили заводы и фабрики. Но вы любите нравиться "хозяину" - личности, партии ... , а потом ваш "хозяин" задружил с другим "хозяином" из Германии. Но тот первым, не дожидаясь, когда вы нападёте, "вероломно" напал, и вам снова начали помогать - Ленд-лиз, второй фронт для отвлечения Германских войск от Восточного фронта, чтоб вам легче было ... , да и "ножки Буша" ещё не забыли, в 90-е?
Вы как тот глупый щенок, которому показывают - как надо жить, чтобы выжить, но вы постоянно кричите, что не такие как все, и у вас другой путь! Так почему "ваш путь" проходит по чужим территориям, и по чужим судьбам? Просто вы не ищете "царя в голове", вам важно, чтоб царь был в Кремле, и руководил вами, и за всё отвечал, но беда в том, что царь "за всё" отвечает вашими жизнями.
Вам нельзя помогать именно из гуманных соображений - ваша страна скорее развалится, перестанет влиять на жизнь соседей, а менталитет вашего население быстрее изменится, и оно заживёт, как живут люди во всём Мире.
А на счёт комментариев - не забывайте о "тридцати серебренниках", и о том, к чему приводит желание заработать на обмане.
As a Falklands Veteran, thank you Royals. Made me cry, made me feel sad but at the same time remember my oppos and how thankful I am to be here to listen to this. BZ
Thank you for your service! I only wish "we" could prevent 'others' from having to experience the same/similar ever again. God Bless.
Me too, mucker, the "Jollies" band could always play a good tune.
And we, thank you.
I'm an Argentine Soldier... not old enough for taking part in that crazy conflict... but very respectful to those from both sides who fought with bravery and comradeship.I served with many UK soldiers in Cyprus and I'm really proud of it... 💪🏼
@@lucasfilippi5556 I think most British military personal would feel the same as you. My father and uncle both went to the Falklands. They never said bad word against the Argentinian soldiers , not once.
American. USAF. Vietnam Vet. Beautiful tribute to all who have served.
As a Former Swiss NATO/KFOR Soldier ( 2004 - 2006), i have Goosebumps and Tears in my Eyes when i see and hear this Clip :( . I served a first mission, came home, my Family and my Friends thought, all is okay with me. But it wasn`t. I had to fought with my demons alone. They didn`t understand, why i made a second mission. The answer is very simple. Civilian life was hell for me. This song represends for me all that, what i was going trough.
God be with you brother! Bosnia 97
Bless You Brother. Kosovo ‘99. Iraq ‘03. Afghanistan ‘11
I don't understand something here. You served 2004-2006 and served active duty.
So if you serve active duty in your first year you can leave?
I was under the perception that if you joined the services that you had to do a minimum of 2 years regardless of whatever happened in that time or where ever they sent you, unless invalided out?
@@paulmitchell4544 A Mission / Deployment was for only 6 Months. You could extend for a second, maximum a third Mission, before they send you Home, back to Civilian Life. I made my Military Service in Switzerland. For KFOR you could volunteer.
What a singer! And the guitarist.. the pressure must have been immense to get this right..both are very exposed but absolutely nailed it. Love it.
What I really like about them is you can tell that they actually done tours of "active duty". This song has a proper connection to them rather than just a well rehearsed military trained performance. Some of the other songs are just well drilled rehearsals.
"We are fools too make war on our brothers in arms" . That really got me. Amazing performance.
Exactly! These people don’t think about their innocent brothers on the other side their fighting. You are all humans, you’re all being controlled like puppets. Think about the hypocrisy, killing millions on innocent women and children, bombing their homes, devastating countries.
Mark Knopfler für dieses Lied im Gedenken an alle gefallenen Kameraden und Waffenbrüder.
Danke an die klasse Sängerin, den Gitarristen und das Orchester der Royal Marines.
Ich wünsche allen Veteranen der Kriege viel Kraft und Glück im Leben.
Frieden für alle Menschen auf dieser Erde 🕊😊
This has to be the most British thing I ever saw......love the dichotomy of elite forces playing such beautiful music
As a former serving member, you have embraced what it means to be Brothers and sisters in arms. You made me cry, you made me smile and you made me remember.
Well said Chris!
Да! Невероятно прекрасная песня!
Пусть будет мир на всей планете!
Пусть будет проклята любая война!!!
Amen

First time I’ve ever heard a female sing this song, I’m absolutely blown away by her. What a fantastic voice
Prenez le temps d’écouter la version merveilleusement bien chantée par Joan Baez et qui date des années 90....
Yeh she has a captivating voice, so strong, clear, perhaps the best female vocalist I’ve heard.
@@c.martin4836 Have you seen the vid of them doing Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin? that I find even more interesting for them to do.
@@Kiyarose3999 definitely
@@c.martin4836 : I think you have missed the point of the song?? This is not a 1960's anti war (on any circumstances) song but a soldier's remembrance song of fallen colleagues who went to War (in this case the Falklands War) to free the Falkland Islanders from captivity and lost their lives doing so. Military people are seldom warmongers, but people who go to war voluntarily knowing it's they who will always pay the bill. It's the same today, no Ukrainian soldier wants to go to war, but the harsh alternative to this is losing their Country, their political freedom and culture to Russian aggression. The point here is, in a just war soldiers fight for the freedom of everybody, including the freedom of the so-called Liberal/ Woke anti-war pacifists types. A good number of the Marines here (including vocalist & guitarist) are wearing the Afghanistan Operational Service Medal, so know 1st-Hand what the song is about.
Reflect on this?
I cannot imagine the honor felt by the lead gutarist as he played this song. The pain, the glory, the heartbreak, the gratitude. Thank you so very much
Thanks for that... from a French Army Veteran...❤
From this U.S. Marine veteran, AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!! SEMPER FIDELIS
Non sibi sed patriae
Tibi gratias ago
My eldest brother’s favourite song…he was an officer in the Royal Navy and we lost him to a brain tumour a year ago…one of the most moving songs ever written and beautifully performed here…
Take care, mate
May your brother rest in peace, Doug.
RIP sailor. Thank you

As a 26-year Royal Canadian Navy veteran this rendition of Mark Knofler's song brought a few tears to the eyes of this old matelot. Memories of shipmates who have crossed the bar, especially my brother, are always with me. BZ Royal Marines.
The responsibility for the deaths of millions of soldiers has often been with those soldiers fellow countrymen, ... much more so than the soldiers of the country they fought against. This Includes American citizens for the past 50 years.
As a Canadian citizen, I thank you for your service.
From an American-- one of my all time favoirite songs. This version was done perfectly.
Anyone can talk the talk, but it takes a special breed of men and women who are actually willing to stand up for their country and fight what they believe in no matter what it costs, and for that I want to say thank you for your time and service.
The Military/government doesn't stand up for them when they get too badly injured to serve during combat or training.
They have to rely on charity to support them afterwards.
Thank you for this outstanding performance!
Salute from a german veteran.
Let’s not mention any Germans of war🙄
@@martinafranca6609

Greetings from a 69 yr old fart from over in South Africa, Salute sir, respect to all who serve

The guitar player... wow.
One of your very best Singer Sam! Little tear to the eye of a Falklands Vet. here, remembering those on land, at sea and in the air who fought bravely in 1982! Military musicians of the very best..... Thank You, one and all!
Bless your heart John ❤️ I was in the WRNS in 1982 and I cried, listening to this…🥹😢
God Bless from this U.S. Marine (86-90). I was 14 and living in West Germany as a U.S. Air Force brat when you were on your way there. This song came out as my world view was crumbling before my eyes. The bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut (dad was stationed at Rhein Main AB where most of the bodies were brought to be put back together for their "final" deployment, home and onwards to heaven). I would walk past the hangars (where all of this was happening) every day on my way from school to where we had football practice. I was 15 and to see these young men and woman, just a few years my senior, when they were on breaks was unimagineable. I grew up in and around the military as our family spent about 70% of dad's time in the Air Force less than 150km's from the Iron Curtain. I knew that bombing would forever change the world. Five months later, we lost 17 "family members" in a crash in the mountains a few miles southwest of Zaragoza AB, Spain. This song came out later that summer and it immediately stopped my downward spiral. It was a few days after hearing this song that I knew my course, either enlisted air crew in the Air Force or becoming a Marine... The Eagle, Globe and Anchor won out...
If you have not seen it, watch the "One Night in London" BBC televised special with Mark Knopfler version. As amazing as this version in, that performance is hauntingly beautiful...
@@Wolverines77 Thank you, I will 😊and God bless you too…❤️
@@Wolverines77 Strangely, also recorded from the Royal Albert Hall only a few years ago 👍
I wasn't a Royal Marine, but I did complete the All Arms Commando Course in 1984 and served for 24 years. Song sums up it all.
It is beautiful and profound, my Dad was 42 commando RM incredibly proud. 😢
"Semper Fi" to my British brothers in arms.
From a US Marine Veteran to my fellow Marine veterans in the UK.....Outstanding Job and Oorah! 👍💯

im from brazil i love american marines
Gen Z USMC veteran Here. She along with Her Majesty’s Band definitely made mission with this performance. I wish the Marine Corps Bands would step up their game and cover songs like this one.
@@richardgaysin9788 His Majesty's cock! do keep up, make's you Yank's look stupid.
Je suis un vétéran des "french Marines" et j'adore cette chanson et cette interprétation. Bravo
Was there with my son!!!! One of the best emotional nights of music ever!!!!!!!
The singer made the song her own - and the guitarist played an absolutely perfect (in tone, faithfulness to MK's original and technique) rendition of this unforgettable anthem. I only wish I could have been in the audience to hear this. And let's not forget to thank Capt. Trudgeon for his masterful orchestral interpretation of the song.
Takes me back to a time in 1972 when I heard the Band of the Royal Engineers and a local classical guitar player performing Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez in a small theater carved out of the Rock of Gibraltar.... there were a few tears shed on that occasion too.
You are kidding right. That lady sang so many notes flat i lost count. Very ordinary to be kind. But the guitarist really did a fine job on Knopflers tone,.
I don't know why they didn't get a male singer or a better one. There's a delivery that lacked.
Splendid ! God bless you British people !
No mess, no fuss, no razzmatazz, just musical perfection from all concerned, brilliant.
I am a dutch veteran….. lost some of my buddies…… never forget! Thanx for your beautiful song.
Being French I can certainly not have the cultural background of a native English man ( or woman).... but this song speaks to me. And much more than a lot.
This album has a very special meaning for me, for it's related to a peculiar period of my life. A very, very sad one.
This song was the apex of the LP... I cried a lot at when listening to it.
Even today I still can't listent to it without gossebumps (at the minimum).
This version is very, very good for it is played and sung with guts... Love it.
I just watched this. What a beautiful voice. Brought tears and memories. Thank you ❤️
OUTSTANDING, this US Marine SGT comes back to this performance once again as I remember comrades who fell. It speaks to the heart. May I one day get a chance to hoist several pints with my cousins across the pond. Well done.
@@kar2ouche I am saying that I am a US Marine and really am moved by the performance of these RM performers-not that they are yanks. It was a compliment. Maybe you should read more carefully. I have had liberty with your Marines, they are fine companions.
Now I understand. Thank you.
@@warshipsdd-2142 : I assume you will have noticed that both of these "RM performers", as you put it, are sporting their Operational Service Medal for Afghanistan.
@@stuartmccall5474 I have the highest respect and fraternal admiration for HM RM Musicians. I am aware of their excellent training and dual role. I regard them as I do the US Navy Corpsmen who fought along US Marines and tended to our wounded at great risk to themselves. I only used the term performer because in the video they were showcasing their outstanding vocal and instrumental skills. I would be honoured to have either one alongside me in a hostile engagement.
I've seen this young lady singing before and she has a beautiful voice. Lovely, thank you for showing this to us unlucky people who can't be there on the night.
Brilliant. She really feels what she is singing!
Thank you corporal for makin this 50 year old man weep like a child. 🥲
As a veteran of the Angolan war, my heartfelt thanks. My comrades didn’t die in vain and they live on in me.
The deep, rich tone of that Gibson guitar contrasted so well with the power & emotion in her voice! Mark Knopfler wrote this 40 years ago, during the 1982 war in the Falkland Islands. The clear message is the folly of war, the needless suffering that results, yet brings with it such a strong bond between fellow warriors, even to death. My Father in Law served as a medic in Vietnam, and while he survived, he still battles with the emotional scars of war. This song always brings a tear to my eye. I have so much respect for all those that choose to serve and those who make the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you for the freedom you fought for.
40 years ago....I hadn't realised that......WOW......always has and always will be my favourite Dire Straits song
Wow! The guitar! A young Mark Knopfler right there!
From an Irishman, that's a beautiful cover. Compliments to all involved ❤
I'm ex service man, my elder brother was a royal marine and my eldest brother now deceased also a serviceman, thought the royal marine band only ever did military tunes but I've seen a few of these now on you tube, that girl can sing, her rendition of gladiator now we are free is also great, I always think of my old brothers in arms
As a US Army veteran, this version got me right in the feels.
Neither myself or anyone I know have been in the army, and also English is not my main language but this song by Dire Straits has always made me feel so sad and this particular interpretation just made me cry.
As a former South African veteran I salute them.
Standing ovation from an American stranded in Thailand
Stranded?? How the hell did you get stranded over there?
Such an amazing voice. Guitarist was spot on too. I couldn't imagine anyone else but Dire Straits performing this brilliant track until I listened to this. Absolutely amazing and so apt.
Check out James Marcal he sings a few dire straights songs sounds like knopler
Love the sound of that Les Paul! great stuff!
Respect
amazing performance
Jesus, Adrian. It wasn't THAT good.
I am honoured, having enjoyed them live in Cologne 1983...
10 years ago lost my older Brother Don, (Big D) after he and I, with 4 close mates had a few years earlier carried our young Brother Mark to this tribute. Don's 10th anniversary today, miss them both, Love you both. Rob
This was done really well. The singer was incredibly passionate and hats off to the guitarist. The finger picking, the tone, etc was really good.
Absolutely fantastic singing and guitar playing ,such a powerful song,brilliant
Hmmm, not for me.........Brothers in Arms was written as a lament to the folly of war......it was meant to be sung softly and made all the more powerful for that. It was Knopflers' guitar work that wrought the emotion, pain and sadness into the song.......never the voice.
This rendition bordered on operatic in parts and hard, almost abrasive and in that.........entirely missed the point ?
Soz
@@garymoore2535 It's not the same song in that regard. I completely agree with you, but I don't see it as a butchering of it. More like a different interpretation. that I found entertaining. I do understand your point though.
I take nothing away from the singer, she can sing, I take nothing away from the band, they can play.....it is just the particular choice of song mixed with the nature of her presentation that completely misses the mark.......for me at least.
@@garymoore2535 Understood and perfectly acceptable imo. I have songs that hold a special reverence to me and I'm usually not a fan of alternative interpretations of those songs. Some songs that even the live versions irritate me. lol No, seriously, in this case, I absolutely get it. :)
i am ex royal navy and my daughter took me to the concert for my christmas present. she loved the concert more than i did, she was fascinated by the band playing different instruments throughout the show.
she said she was proud that when the uk national anthem was played the entire hall stood and sung.
but when they played the ukrainian national anthem, the clapping, cheering. even the band smiled at that one. a whole different level of pride
That's 'Royal' for you shippers!
@@michaelmclaughlin9410 lol
I joined the reserve forces and did my basic training in Whittington in 1987. Our drill sergeant, a South African, had us learn these words. At the time it was just something to learn but, in the weeks afterwards and since I’ve often reflected on what these words meant to our Sergeant. I’ll always thank him for making me take notice of the words and Ihope that he has found his own peace.
Brilliant , god bless the Royal Marines
I'm a US Army veteran. Goosebumps and I'm having trouble swallowing.
May God hold all vets past present and future in his loving palm.
Thank you. Love from Denmark.
I'm a UK veteran and worked very closely with the US forces Bill god bless you mate, we are ALL Brothers in Arms!

And you too Sir.
The US contributes more deaths in war than any nation. Why? They’re a creepy bunch who screw the world for a profit
Thanks Sam just great. At this current time it says it all! Fools to make war!!
Beautiful, haunting and respectful rendition of this classic.
Well done to you all.
This performance brought a tear to my eyes they're all very talented
Only the people who have faced war know how deep this song hits. My respect to you all.

And we have just one world
But we live in different ones"

As a mother of a serving soldier in the Australian Defence Force I was moved to tears by this poignant rendition. The military musicians have such raw emotions and played brilliantly and the singer was magnificent. Thank you.
I'm with you on that, I too am a very proud parent of a serving Australian soldier and another son who also served. This band did a great job playing this amazing and very moving music.
God bless you Anne, war is a horrible business I'm afraid......
Не надо лезть в другие страны и все будут живы. На вас никто не нападает. Англо-саксы достали уже всех на планете. / No need to climb into other countries and everyone will be alive. Nobody attacks you. The Anglo-Saxons have already got everyone on the planet.
Blubbed like a baby hearing this one! Cracking job CPL from a retired Major!
A song that hits hard when played by The Royal Marines.
Oh My Sagan! If this doesn't bring tears to your eyes you have a heart of stone.
While it is hard to top Mark Knopfler's voice, this is an amazing rendition.
While Mark has a very distinct voice, I honestly think this was an even better version.
This is good, i'm not even going to try and critisize that.... But when Knopfler finishes that '....we're fools to make wár on our bró-thers in arms"...and melts faces with that solo... its different... Still better?
But this comes scaringly close though! Very impressive performance yes!!
Beautiful!
Totally agree, Mark K is one of my top 5 songs, this is up there as good.
@@andy70d35
Always possible to find a better singer with a more beautiful voice... or improve on an existing piece of art. But Mark Knopfler wrote this masterpiece. And many more. That's the real impressive part.
My vote goes to Mark. Call me old fashion :)
To me it's a song about a soldier looking back, not some triumphant song. For me it's a bit of a mismatch. Regardless of her good voice btw.
Very moving performance all round. You have an amazing voice, young lady.
God bless you Mark, I lost a son, we only have one life - enjoy yours.
Outstanding guitar work - Mark Knopfler’s style can’t be easy to replicate - but he did a terrific job!
I am so proud to have these young men and women serving our country. I am absolutely impressed with your performance. God bless you all. I rest well at night knowing your watching our backs . Thank you all !
Well I back 1 year later, This song just tear's me up, once a year is all for me. Viet Nam 1968 I core
So well done, a Mate who served down south with the RM still struggles to this day after picking bits of His mate from His face after a direct hit from a Mortar only a few yards away.
They have the medals to show that they can sing this classic from the heart - respect....
You only have to look at the medals they're all wearing to understand where their incredible passion comes from.
Beautiful! RIP dear William and friends.
Absolut ! GRANDIOS....FEELING !!!! Musikcharaktern grenzenübergreifend. Tolle Sängerin,Gittarist,Dirigent und ORCHESTER!
I’m American (late as usual) but this was awesome. This young lady chose to serve and delivered. Wonderful ensemble.
Never mind, you can't help where you are born 😂
Many tears here, thinking about our beloved lost friends and brothers. Fair winds and following seas for all those still on duty.
Beautifully performed, thank you.
I remember seeing this live, there were many tears from all there, and my hubby's medals were definitely tinkling away as the tears ran down his cheeks.
Thank you. Xxx
Her Voice, his Guitar... brings that song to another Level. Well Done and best wishes from Germany
dem kann ich mich nur anschliessen
@@schraubi44 hab das Lied auf der E Gitarre gelernt bzw bin noch dabei. Einfach nur Liebe !! Musik ist Emotion. Und das ist schön so :)
Knopfler has a very unique style. This guy 99% nailed it. There's something of an irony in a Royal Marine singing about being fools to make war, given that's their trade.
See it as a family member lamenting the loss of a beloved relation
As a British army veteran and a musician of sorts, I can say that there is no better example of Mark Nofflers Brother in arms than the Royal Marines. Absolutely beautiful vocals that brings chills to the whole body, and the combination of a top military school of music and the Fender bending is out of heaven. I solute each and every one of you. British forces at their best out of a trench or theatre of war.
In 83/84 In the portugueses army (Nato Troops) I met and trained with soldiers who were in Falkland. One of them offered me a camouflage shirt.
Gibson not fender
As is said those who have spilt blood with me will be my brother and sister for life. Im not going to cry. Im not going to cry . Yep Im gonna cry... Semper Fortis🇺🇸
This is really something! Really something! Thank you all for the Emotions!
Yes, Soldiers song through and through. The 'Little Corporal' sings this so beautifully. I am U.S. Army 67-70, Father USMC WWII I call a Brother in Arms any soldier that became a soldier with honorable intention. The lies of leaders and the silence of citizens has killed more of my Brothers in Arms than enemy bullets.
No Righteous soldier wishes to kill another soldier, no matter how much he has been taught to hate by his leaders. I salute and call Brother in Arms the soldiers of nations invaded unjustly, who were doing the righteous thing of defending their loved ones and country. Some times it takes years to sort it all out, and sometimes it just seems like it will never get sorted out, but, we can always hope, and, I will continue to do so. The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen. 2 Timothy 4:22
P.S. I am Buddhist and have accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour. Get to know him and I think you will *WANT HIM* to be your personal Saviour too. JC is 'My Guy' , Total Warrior, Total Man, Totally Compassionate, Wisdom off the charts, Outstanding rules, Follow the rules and you will live in this world and *possibly* (ain't up to me) in the next. Don't follow the rules and you are dead, spiritually, emotionally and pretty much physically ... Free Will is a Gift From GOD , Use it wisely :) .... Oh, and TIME too
P.S. _ P.S. The very LIVING WORDS of Jesus Christ are all you need and can be found in the four books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John ... King James or New International Version and Proverbs is also HIGHLY recommended SO MUCH WISDOM!!!!!
Absolutely fabulous I’m sure Mark would agree, 👏
That Marine nailed that solo, i salute him, i know that was not easy.
Somehow much deeper and more profound having marines perform this. Great performances all around.
Just like the first time i heard the song in 85, you give me the chills..
What a beautiful voice she has. So good to hear such voice that puts overhyped singers who can sing only with autotune and such crap to shame.
