INK TO FIND OUT MORE AND BOOK A 535 DEC MINI SERIES: www.thefablesphere.com/dec535
I tried to book a 535 series last week. It wouldn’t take my payment. It kept saying something about 2 step verification.
No one can evoke emotions with a guitar like Mark Knopfler.
Written from the perspective of a mortally wounded soldier and his last words, spoken and unspoken. Knopfler is just so good at his craft.
Great reaction, man. Good take on this song.
This has been one of my favourite songs for the last (almost) 40 years.
Mark Knopfler is one of the best guitarists and songwriters
Dire Straits never gets old. Audiophiles love their music. They may be the best selling band in the SACD format.
Audiophiles buy music so they can listen to their equipment; music fans buy equipment, so they can listen to their music. Just an old joke; no offense or anything. =)
@@Tijuanabill well I’ve been buying music since I was about 10 years old. I’d hate for people to see the “equipment” I had at that time. Also, taking good care of the vinyl wasn’t even considered. 😂
@@stevenewcomer8837 Just an old joke; no real point behind it. I'm not sure when you grew up, or what the current standard of taking care of vinyl is, but when I grew up in the 80s, a lot of care was done then to protect the grooves. But there was an element of music being a disposable thing, that could wear out, that doesn't fit with current trends. Cassettes were worse. I must have bought those early Van Halen tapes 3 or 4 times each, wearing them all out.
This song never fails to make the hairs on my arms stand up on end. So emotional,and a fitting song to play on armistice weekend, in respect of those who make the ultimate sacrifice
I grew up listening to Dire Straits! Brothers in arms is 1 of my all time favorite albums and Mark Knopfler is 1 of favorite guitarists!!
Same here.
Written during the 1982 Falklands War, "Brothers in Arms" deals with the senselessness of war. In 2007, the 25th anniversary of the war, Knopfler recorded a new version of the song at Abbey Road Studios to raise funds for British veterans who he said "are still suffering from the effects of that conflict".
I read that this performance was so popular in South Africa that the powers that be asked who the royalties should go to. When he said “Amnesty International” they were banned from performing in that country. Good take on the irony of fighting against others who also had no choice in the fighting or what they were raised and taught to believe.
There is always a small tear trying to force its way out, whenever I hear this song. Great reaction. Try "Sultans of Swing", from the Alchemy tour of Dire Straits, you will not regret is (FIRE).
Wow!!!! Thanx a lot!!! I ADORE this band!
This performance should be the 8th wonder of the world 🥺
Good stuff Frank, again.
Thank you Fil for sharing good sense, wisdom, understanding of the suffering so many are living right now. A hug from Porto, my friend.
Thanks for this reaction Fil.
Wonderfully in-depth as usual, I'm always here for it!
This is some of the music I grew up listening to, I'm from the same corner of the world where Mark Knopfler and his brother grew up (within an hour's travel), Mark is a great musician and performer
A beautiful piece of atmospheric art ❤❤
Written about the Falklands War from the perspective of a British soldier dieing on the mist covered mountains of the Falklands at night ❤
I've always seen this song as if he died on the battlefield while his brothers went home. He doesn't want his brothers to feel bad. Dead on the remote battlefield he now realises that he & the enemy that also died there, are also essentially and always will be brothers in arms. There wasn't much point to it all.
-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')
i realy enjoyed listening to your reaction, Gil frrom Israel
Let me listen to Knopfler and Gilmour -- then everyone else.
This amazing song is about a dying soldier talking to the soldiers around him.
You did not desert me my brothers in arms.
You didn't get that.
Mr Knopfler wrote the words, music for all instruments, arranged it, sang it and played his guitar as only he can, the mans a genius, all of this video you've just witnessed has come from him.
I've read that his uncle fought in the conflict between Argentina and the British empire, the Falklands war.
Fuck, you & the track got me crying , again.
There's a lot of high minded talk about military service and fighting for cause or country.
And that might have been why some sign up. Or maybe it's just a job. Or there was a conscription effort, or mandatory service. There are all kinds of reasons for joining the military.
But based on stories and interviews that I've read and watched, in actual combat conditions, people fight because every person in the unit relies on each other to survive the fight.
In battle, the reason you're there is irrelevant. You fight to keep the person beside you alive and unharmed.
There's a deep, primal sense of responsibility that comes with that, that creates some of the strongest bonds that people can form with each other.
It's no wonder that people come back changed, struggle to readjust to civilian life, feel guilt for coming home while friends and fellow servicememberd remain in the field. Or are wounded or dead.
I know a lot of soldiers and Marines that came back from Iraq and Afghanistan only told war stories once or twice. They learned quickly that they had normalized events that their friends and family found shocking and horrific.
This song is powerful. It evokes all of this. And it hits all the harder because we just had Veterans Day here in the U.S.
My Dad is s Vietnam vet. Many of my childhood friends have served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I respect the hell out of them. Indeed, anyone, of any country, who is called upon to serve in wartime deserves respect, regardless of the motivations their country had for sending them into war.
Inside left Eric Clapton.
Fil, it's an amazing track. No normality after combat release. Great writing, Mark Knopfler vocals and 'less is more' guitar with his killer licks. All that you said.
#QcumberSquad #DireStraits - Fil, I'm off back to the study.
his guitar playing is outstanding
Very distinctive sound. Can never mistake guitarists from PF and DS.
@@sonjacarlyle5341 True.
I think you misunderstood the 'different worlds' line. To me, Mark is saying that while, in practical terms, we live in the same world, we make no effort to understand each other (as nations). Which is why war results.
I can’t believe you hadn’t heard of them. That said you have some great followers recommending songs and genuine appreciation of music
Written from the perspective of a mortally wounded soldier on the battlefield
Frank is pulling out classic after classic
Romeo and Juliet is my favorite Dire Straits song.
Unfortunately, it looks like the world and people are becoming more and more divided. The tolerance for other people's opinions and actions such as stopping a youtube video is decreasing. Enjoyed your reaction. Greetings from Norway. 😀
Hi, I personally always appreciate your reactions.
I hope that in addition to the profound lyrics of the song you appreciated Mark Knopfler's unmistakable guitar playing (I thought I saw Eric Clapton...is it possible? I know he often performs with Mark)
Love
Teresa - Genoa ITALY
Eric Clapton it is!
Sorry, my mistake, l'ho riascoltato ed è stato detto "special guest Eric Clapton" 🙏...
Great commentary, by the way....
NO WAR but LOVE
So sad ...😢😢
Home Free have done a beautiful acapellaversion of this song
Frank!!! Too many now mate! It’s on my list already submitted to Fil for the 15th! Fil, will send a replacement.
Yeah, I've had to do that.
@@FrankWarnerWords surely not from me…. I’m too considerate. 😂😂😂😂
@@sonjacarlyle5341 😂😂😂😂+😂
Or being hated, dont give way to hating.{IF kipling}😀
It's about music, man. Do a separate video for your politics.
Pls watch the Home Free cover of this
When did we become arseholes on the Internet, you mean? Well, when we started watching videos and TH-cam and got involved in Social Media. When I write comments on this or that video, even on football forums, more often than not people insult me and shout abuse over nothing. Only few would actually do that talking to me personally, I am sure, but the blessed anonymity makes them lose their mind, common sense, and education. When this whole craziness began I didn't know whether the online world and SM would have a more negative or positive impact on humankind. Now I know.
Taking one irate poster to be an assessment of the entire public is a misguided outlook, in my view. Crazy people exist, they have devices, and they use them. The only thing that has changed regarding discourse in the modern day, is now we let everyone in to speak to the town square, and that comes with good and bad results. The solution is to go get an ice cream during that speech, and not listen to it.
Tu dis ce que tu veux avant ou après un solo. Mais bon sang, pas durant un solo de guitare. Ça, quelque soit le monde, c'est carton rouge
You do actually interrupt too much which makes it difficult to follow the flow of the music.
