    I grew up on this music. . In a small town in Botswana; I was raised on a healthy hint of Dire Straits and Queen... in very little places that both MK and Freddy have never been to and probably never knew exist. But we did. Over here in the poor backdrop of the ghetto. I listened to 'so far away from you".... I loved 'Why Worry'. And today, at 50, this.... "Brothers in arms'; takes the biscuit. My absolute favourite. ❤

    Вы даже не представляете, как Ваша музыка спасает меня прямо сейчас, в настоящее мое время... Когда не понимаешь, что происходит, кажется, что все отвернулось от тебя. Словно одна большая сущность забрала с собой все, что ты любишь, чем дорожишь, оставив за собой одни, греющие душу, но, вызывающие слезы, воспоминания... Когда нет надежды на возврат, ведь оттуда не возвращаются ни дети, ни взрослые. И остается только сглатывать, когда слышишь детский смех и закрывать глаза, чтобы увидеть вновь и вновь лицо ребёнка, которого видишь теперь только во сне и, смахивая слезу, отворачиваешься от тех, кто не понимает своего счастья, жалуясь на нерадивость своих детей. Ведь они -живы...
    Когда любовь твоей жизни остается лишь мечтой, и все, что у тебя от него остается - это вкус последнего поцелуя, который никогда, возможно, не повторится. Но ты молишься Господу, чтобы он, хотя бы он, был жив и здоров, чтобы Благословил его Господь. Спасибо Вам за необыкновенные песни!!!

    My Dad was a huge Dire Straits fan, he would play the albums over and over. We would go out for a pint and he would put Sultans on the jukebox about 10 times lol. I played Brothers in Arms at his funeral. It was a long time before I could listen to this song again, hits me hard. As a guitar player myself I always appreciated the genius of Knopfler, I grew to appreciate the music more later in life though. Dad never got to see them live, he would certainly have loved it.

      I know exactly how you feel Rob.
      My father was a regular serviceman in the Royal Marine Band during WW2. He played tenor sax and violin. When not on musical duties he aimed the ships big guns (a good mathematician) and was also ship's tailor.
      He saw HMS Hood sunk by the Bismarck and lost many friends that day. But he got his revenge. He was a big gun aimer on HMS Norfolk and sunk the Bismarck with a little help from his Brother's in Arms. He also escorted many convoys to Murmansk, that was dangerous work but he survived WW2 unscathed and was present when the Japanese surrendered. He claimed to have visited every country in the world with a coastline except the american continent as being a regular he had a long career and took part in many goodwill visits around the world playing on shore at functions and receptions - his band was very good at Glenn Miller numbers.
      In later life he stil loved all kinds of music, his only stipulation was that modern bands should be able to play their instruments in his judgement. His favourites were Mark Knopfler and Van Morrison, he even appreciated the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.
      We remember our fathers fondly.

    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

One room was full of drawings made by children who have tried to tell us through their art how they cope without limbs and with their horribly deformed bodies, just some of the 170,000 victims of agent orange, now into its 4th generation of defects. In another room I read there have been 104,000 victims of land mines and uxo since 1975. 18% of the country is so contaminated it will take another 100 years before people can walk around without worrying it will be their last step. Add to this the 2 million Vietnamese civilians killed by the bombings and torture and massacres, the 1 million killed revolutionary fighters, plus all the horrors inflicted on villages in neighbouring Laos and Cambodia. Adds up to a LOT of wasted lives.

    I am a retired firefighter from USA. When I hear this song about the Brothers in Arms, I am reminded of my own Brothers in Arms in the Fire Service. I was from a department that had an exposure to some terrible cancer causing chemicals and most of my mentors and brothers in arms I served those years with are now deceased. In some cases I was on a shift of people that faced all the dangers and death and destruction and now I alone am left alive. He captures the feelings I have about my brothers and sisters, both those who are left behind and those who are gone. But I know the bonds that are forged in such circumstances, and that even though the brothers come from different worlds and many times they are very different kind of people, you know you share that bond of shared experience and trust that is created in time of danger and facing tragedy together.

      I always found this song so...calm, even I didn't understand the lyrics (I'm french) when I was 11 years old as you were. Probably, not understanding the lyrics made more simple to let my mind floating in the universe with the music...

I know, from experience, that you will never be closer to anyone else in your entire life than you are to your brothers in arms. These are the people that you would give your life to save; to not let down. Yes, we are fools to make war on our brothers in arms, but that is not our choice.

      In this version he probably knows all. When he wrote it at the very beginning surely not.
      At the end he composed the best song of a couple of decades. Hardly to figuring out who or what happened on his mind that inspired Mark to compose this poetry backed up with such heavenly instrumental sound.
      I'm 60 and not a single song grasped my mind and literally took me to the places we heard at Mark's descriptions.
      I did try to get your point just because I did it too.
      There have been thousands of song authors but can count them with your hand fingers those who make music and let you wondering the how and who.. Unexplainable

I'm 55 years old and has been listening to him since he started with the Dire Straits in 1970s. There are a lot of versions of this song out on video. To me this is the best version he ever put out.
