First Time Hearing Dire Straits Brothers In Arms | Rere Reacts 

I love the way you give your opinion after listening to the whole piece rather than stopping and starting. Great job

"We're fools to make war On our brothers in arms...." the final verse says everything to me.

Dear Rere, i'm a french veteran (Ok, my name is russian, but i'm french) and i'm 61 years old. The crazy thing is that before I returning to Lebanon for my second deployment, the night before the departure for Paris, I saw one Dire Straits concert in Strasbourg. But it was only after my return to France and a few years later that I really "listened" and understood this song. Excuse me if I don’t want or can’t talk about war. Even looking at my scars I wonder if there is one human language that really able is of retranscribing war or moments of war. Maybe music does it better, I don’t know for sure.Thank you for sharing your discovery. Good luck

It's a duet between his voice and the guitar and it feels like the guitar has a life of it's own great reaction video btw

Rere, this song was written from the point of view of a British soldier that is dying, surrounded by his “Brothers in Arms”, during the Falkland Islands war. I remember first hearing it when I was stationed on a submarine, submerged in the North Atlantic, during the Cold War. The song has always had a strong impact on me. I think most military folks feel the same way because of the bonds that you mentioned. I think you are correct about not knowing people that have served in a war. Here in the states, military families are becoming a thing of the past. I am the last generation of my navy family and I am not disappointed that my son did not join. I am pleased that he doesn’t need to.

This is a real classic track and shows just how Dire Straits made great songs. 👍👍

MIAMI VICE was the first "NETWORK TV" show that used the real artist recordings instead of "COVERS"

There's a lot of us ex-forces who have this as an unofficial anthem, not just in the UK but worldwide. While I concur that war should be unnecessary, it often becomes necessary, as evidenced by current global events.

❤Telegraph road (alchemy) ,Romeo and Juliet (live) ,tunnel of love (alchemy),your latest trick (live) ,so far away (calipso version) are another beautiful masterpiece

Not going to lie. It's 5:30 am and starting this morning off by listening to your reaction. 😊🥱😳😌😊

Nice reaction. Mark plays his guitar so beautifully, so mournfully, in this piece. There's a great live version of this (On The Night tour) that I think you'd really enjoy. Another great live piece (and a much happier one) is The Sultans Of Swing (Alchemy live). Take care, and keep up the good work.

Hola hermosa gran tema muy triste , saludos desde Argentina.

When I was your age, I always said that wars were stupid and unnecessary and people told me, that when I get older, I would understand that some wars are necessary. Now, at 51, I still think that wars are stupid and unnecessary. I'm funny that way. Maybe I never grew up? 🤷‍♂

You have a really great speaking voice too, first time I heard this song mid 80's, JR HIGH SCHOOL I was watching MIAMI VICE on a Friday night

Great reaction ❤

Found another reaction from you. Love this song, I have this on a cassette tape of the same name. But you are missing out by not watching the videos to these songs your listening to. The video to this song explains a lot.

I'm watchin for that face!!! 😍🥰😘

Hi, nice channel and reaction. I think you'll really like the song Calling Elvis from the concert Dire Straits - Live "On The Night" 1993. I've seen a lot of reactors really enjoy this one. This band is really good Live.Cheers and all the best from Australia.👍🎸🎸🎸
