Being British and ex military from the early 80's this song reduces me to tears every time, that is when you know the music is something special.

If you've never heard a guitar weep, you just heard it. The words tell the story, and the guitar expresses the emotion. Perfection.

I'm 72 years old. I've listened to thousands of songs over the years and this is still my favorite...no close second. It speaks to me emotionally that defies me putting it into words. I relate to it on a very deep level. Thank you!

I sometimes play this song when I'm feeling sorry for myself, and it gives me perspective. One of the best songs ever. Hauntingly beautiful and deep.

One of the most unique and sobering songs I've ever heard. It has meant a lot to several friends who were in the "Service" back then. Mark is famous for playing a Fender Stratocaster, but makes that Gibson Les Paul cry beautifully in this song. Nice choice.

Such a haunting song that has become an adopted anthem for service men and women, written at the time of the Falklands War between Argentina and Britain, the back story for this is of a soldier laying dying on the battlefield, surrounded by his comrades who will not leave him, the moral being you never leave anyone behind, you bring them home, may I suggest you check out the version of this by the Band's of the HM Royal Marines, it is so moving being played and sung by the military, thank you to all ex and current personnel for their service 🇬🇧

Played at many UK service and ex service personnel funerals. I've got it booked in for mine when the time comes. Mark wrote this from the perspective of a dying soldier surrounded by his mates on the battlefield, in the'82 Falklands war. The live version at the Mandela birthday concert with Eric Clapton, was a masterclass.

Not just the lyrics that are emotional but I think the music is very spine tingling, maybe more tear jerking. They were what's known as a super group. Sell out any stadium in the world along with led zeppelin, supertramp, queen, ELO, black sabbath and many more English bands. 🏴🇬🇧👍

"These mist covered mountains Are a home now for me But my home is the lowlands And always will be Someday you'll return to Your valleys and your farms 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 On our brothers in arms"

Music videos can be risky since they frequently suck and drop the quality of the song experience a notch or two, but this one is fantastic ! They used a technique called “rotoscoping”. It won the Grammy in 87’ for Best Music Video.

I just read that this song was done at a concert for Nelson Mandela’s seventieth birthday. It was so popular in South Africa that the powers that be asked who should get the royalties. When Mark said “Amnesty International” they were banned from performing in that country. I believe South Africa has improved somewhat since about their racism problem.

There's a group of anti war songs I link together. All give variations on the mood The Firm "live in peace" (maybe my favorite) Jonatha Brook and the story, "war" (a quieter, more introspective song) Billy Joel, "goodnight Saigon" (gives emotions more like this song)

Just one criticism of the way Knopfler skips/trips out the word "brothers" far too quickly. That key lyric/title word is surely screaming to be delivered slowly - softly drawled out - not delivered quickly tripping off the tongue pop-music-style the way Knopfler does. It just doesn't fit the very sombre mood or vibe. I wonder if he changed that in any later older-wiser live versions. Paul G
