Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms (Official Music Video) 

klopt

Yes it is.

Masterpiece incredible ❤

Listen to it at least once a week. ❤🇧🇻

Yes, it is. They do not make music like this anymore. Pink Floyd, the Who, Dire Straits, and some other epic bands. It is as if all nowadays music is soul- and meaningless. Just electronic noise. With some exceptions of course….

I feel ya. 72 here any day now. This song makes me tear up 🤔 ☮️✌️

This song always makes me cry...

Mr Knopfler was simply outstanding. He is a true artist.

Me too….I dedicate this song to all my Airborne Brothers in Arms , until that day I walk through those huge wooden doors into the great hall of Valhalla……I think of you everyday and night…..Airborne…..❤

He JAMMED !

So sorry😢

May your precious son rest in the eternal light. Prayers for your peace. 💙

soyez en paix

So sorry for your loss.

and because of your great love for him, you will always mourn. Heart to heart...

Well said

He’s always with you, in your heart and soul my friend

Sorry for your loss. So sad. All my love!

😔 peace be with you my friend❤️

😢❤

God bless you!

Definitely a powerful one! For me it was: "We are fools to make war on our brothers in arms." It portrays the senselessness of war and the infinte amout of suffering it creates...

@@Chrisoric I agree wholeheartedly with you there.

@@Chrisoric you are so f***ing right!

"Amazing song"? Yeah...it really is!!! Honestly...I may not have ever known your father...and do not even know YOU...! But his last wish...and also the fact, you carried him to this song, it demands respect!!!

Blessings to you sir.

@@JohnDoe-vj2yy all of e

I don't know why but that's my father favourite song too. He is 58 years old. There is something beautiful in this song.

This terrible cancer, I known what it means, my best friend was dying of cancer, my thoughts are at you and all people suffering of this disease. I can't understand what happenes in the world, how much people must die in war, so much money for weapons.. We could better give it in the health system.. In great solidarity, take care on you.. 💚

Used to play it for my early HIV friends but now its for The Vid-19 🙏😰❤️🌹

I get very emotional with music, but never to the point of crying. This music made me cry at work but my colleagues understood when I explained why.

Rest in peace 🙏

Rest in peace 🙏

I’m so sorry for your loss. We’ve lost many who we served with. I guess it’s our age group, but we’re undone by this song every time.

God bless all who serve to take care of us, we are so very sorry for your loss... Ultimate respect to all who serve xx

Oh, man.

I know it’s not the same but I just wanna say it. My father said *”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* *My brother in arms.”* At his best friends funeral which he has known since he was a 7 year old boy as well as his other friend. They grew up in a small village in Congo which people found odd when he tells them about it because he is white but he is Belgian and they had colonised Congo so I assume it’s why they were there, he is now 53. They called themselves the 3 musketeers, Kris(*the one who has died*),Lawrence my dads other best friend and my dad Thierry. The 3 of them went to school together, shared a room with each other at boarding school. They all grew up together. Everything they did they did together. His father was an abusive alcoholic and died when my father was 9 while his mom was in hospital with cancer which she overcame but died 3 years later from TB so he didn’t really ever have family, but he told me that the 3 of them were brothers. Whether they were blood or not. After school they would go down to the river and get on their little wooden sail boat that they borrowed from a local fisherman with a few friends. There were crocodiles and hippos there but they didn’t care, they were young and foolish but they had fun. One of his friends had a brother who had gone missing, 3 days later one of his arms were found on the banks of the river(irrelevant, I know). The 3 musketeers later went to Belgium to finish their studies so they could make it one day, when they had finished they all moved to South Africa because they missed Africa, but it wasn’t the same kind of Africa. When they came here they had very little money so the 3 of them rented a small apartment and stayed in it together. They searched tirelessly for jobs and my dad and Kris found jobs here, they both became engineers, the other friend Lawrence went back to Belgium because he couldn’t get one here and later found one there. Kris introduced my mom to my dad and he is the reason I,my brother and my sister exist. He was the one who had wanted a family the most out of the 3 of them, he had many girlfriends in the past , he ended up finding the right one who unfortunately may not have been and they got engaged and a few months later she died in a car accident. Years past, my dad and Kris had some fights and didn’t see each other for a few months but they resolved their problems. He finally found the person who would become his wife and start a family with. They tried many times to have children but she had some problem with her which was preventing her from getting pregnant, they went to doctors and tried to sort out the problems and after some time they finally managed to have children, 2 daughters 1 year difference in age. The 3 musketeers still saw each other often even tho the one lives in Belgium who also has a family of his own now and the other lives almost 2 hours from us. They all made it and were successful in life but Kris seemed to be an unlucky man, he then got COVID when working on some project in Congo which is ironic. The last time the 3 of them were together was 2 years ago because of COVID/ lockdown. Lawrence and his family came here because it was Kris’s 50th birthday. That was the last time we saw Kris. He died on the 16th of August 2, 2021, 2 days before my dads birthday and the same day my dad had a heart attack 7 years ago. After being in hospital fighting COVID for nearly 2 months, my mom called me to come downstairs and I had the feeling something was wrong and I saw my mom and dad standing in the kitchen, they told me that Kris had died just before my mom started crying, my dad tried to act strong like always but at the dinner table halfway through dinner he just started crying, I had never seen my dad cry in my entire life, I am 17. He had multiple infections and organ failures and my father wasn’t allowed to visit him but it would have been pointless because towards the end he was tired and looked deathly ill and was mostly sedated, a week before he died his wife went there and kept telling him he will be fine and he will make it but with the little strength he had , he shook his head and said no his wife Charlene told us, he asked to see his girls who are 5 and 6 but they weren’t allowed in. They are now currently with us as his wife is suicidal and has gone to some institute to try and get help because she doesn’t know how to carry on.The girls don’t seem to understand what death is and that he isn’t coming back because they say “my daddy died and that’s why we aren’t at home but we waiting for mommy and daddy to come back” They don’t seem to be upset but they keep saying they miss mommy and daddy which hurts me to hear and I think it hurts my dad more as his friend isn’t here but his 2 daughters are and they will grow up without knowing their father like my dad did. My dad had to carry the coffin and do the eulogy which is when at the end he said those words because Brothers in arms was Kris’s favourite song. But now *The 3 musketeers are no more*. I am writing this with tears in my eyes as I find it very upsetting, I had to watch the funeral online as your are only allowed 50 people in a venue. My dad put his hand on his coffin and patted it and said something which he says is just for Kris. The rest Kris’s family couldn’t fly here because of restrictions so they had to do a funeral in Belgium without the coffin. We had to watch it online. Lawrence did the eulogy too but he broke down at the end. It was in french so I couldn’t understand but my dad could. He was very upset for the rest of that day and didn’t say a word, I think it re enforced the fact that he is gone and there is no changing it and you can’t do anything. My dad is now depressed and he doesn’t know what to do with his life which is upsetting for me and my family but the words he said in the eulogy *“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* *My brother in arms.”* I will always remember those words. My dad has tears in his eyes when he listens to this song now. He says when it’s his turn he wants his song to be *Blood Brothers* By Bruce Springsteen because Lawrence will be the last one. Rip Kris. I know it’s not the same, I don’t know what it is like for you as I didn’t go to war and lose someone I was so close too like that so abruptly and in a way like that, and then for him to not even get the recognition that he deserved but I’m sure the people he has saved will always remember what he did and will forever be grateful as they were able to return to their families because of his sacrifice. Many people have gone to early before their lives even really started and it isn’t fair. I have never had a friendship or a bond like you guys have so I will unfortunately never know.

But my favourite part is when he says Let me bid your farewell Everyman has to Die.

It's difficult to even imagine the pain you've gone through and ofcourse ur brother in arms

And rip to the afghans that ur brother killed to be fair.

Tells a story we must never forget. Great words mate.

Sending you love ❤

Been there and done it, we have absolutely no business going back. imo

this song is all i can think about since the invasion’s inception...devastating xx all my love to the people of ukraine xx

Absolutely. Listening February 2022

The song from The Scorpions, “Wind of Change” was my second war song, how I would love it see no more unnecessary war.

This is the song that I often to revisit, since it appeared in 1985. Today, a special sad moment, I listen this song again.

I don't think he can be described as "underrated", unless that word means something different these days.

top man MarkD- English Patriot

You are what? Ahahahah stop man please ahahahahahaha

Dear Mark, This song grips and touches every person that has served. Every time I listen to this masterpiece, it brings tears to my eyes. Its a truly timeless piece of art that expresses what you and I lived true. Combat brings up the best and the worst in us humans. The duality of live. Peace brother.

Интеристининг и нг (сможешь так проговорить?)

This song came out back when I was a teenager, and it always remind me of the feeling of being drafted (it was compulsory army service back then where I live). We soldiers would hum this tune, it spoke to us on a gut level what an actual war would be like, sitting there in the freezing trenches looking up at the stars.

Thank you, with all my heart, for your sacrifices. Sending you so much love and healing prayers. God bless you all 💚🕊🙏

Yes, absolutely. As I've said before, endless war for endless profit. And our soldiers paid for it with their lives. Unconscionable.

Если вдуматься, вы написали страшную вещь. Люди не должны убивать друг друга

So true, first time I ever heard this song was, when we found out we were heading to desert shield, that's what they called desert storm before the war started, a guy from Maine said I got something we all need to hear, he played this song an we all started crying, never cried while listening to a song in my life, we all hoped an prayed we see each other again after if was over, an thru god's mercy we did, still talk to some to this day

Somewhat funny how that is close to exactly what went thru my mind and i was about to say that

this is my favorite song of Dire Straits. Do you listen russian or soviet union rock (not metal) groups? With best wishes from Saint - Petersburg🙂

There is an incoherence to this 'We're fools to make war on our brothers in arms', as if the 'we' is a world community (that doesn't exist). What about when others make war on you?

Is it really an ANTI war song tho ? Maybe it is but I never really took it to be such. Great sing I’ve listened to my whole adult life but I took it only as a telling of a story of war. To my knowledge the faulklands war , personally I’d say he wrote it in support of all the soldiers who fought there . That’s just my opinion tho ?

This came on in the car today (18th November) and it made me realise that, with all of the other things going on in the world at the moment, I had not taken particular note this year of Armistice Day, which made me feel sad and guilty. Then I realised that the people that we are honouring would probably far rather hear this than two minutes of silence, so I skipped it back to the start, cranked it up, and took the long way home: It is because of their sacrifice that I could do this. As a free civilian: Thank you and your Brothers & Sisters for your sacrifices.
