I'VE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THIS!! Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms REACTION!! | Emotional

Song hits all the emotions🖤

This is a song sung from the point of view of a dying soldier saying goodbye to his comrades, its devastatingly sad and beautiful.

War is hell! Nobody knows this better than a soldier. That's why you will find that the greatest advocates of peace are ex-soldiers.

Wise beyond your years young man.

I note your comment about Knofler's guitar work. He's playing a Gibson "Les Paul ". Probably the best electric guitar ever made and it's in the hands of a master. We are blessed.

What a song. Mark Kopfler is an amazing guitarist. He makes his guitar cry. Simply amazing talent.

Just my take, but I see this song as a progression of understanding by the subject. It starts with him leaving his home to fight a war with people presumably from other parts of his country. They form a bond and become a band of brothers. To the point of "In the fear and alarm, you did not desert me my brothers in arms." As the song progresses is the realization that we have just this one world, but we live in different ones. Finally, as he is presumably dying, he realizes that they're all brothers in arms, including those they are fighting and we are fools to make war on our brothers in arms.

there's an argument to be made that this is the greatest guitar song of all time. so powerful and beautiful, not as flashy as the shredders but with just a handful of notes that guitar can make you cry, just as Mark makes the guitar cry, expressing the emotion of the dying soldier in the song. he can't and doesn't try to convey that wailing emotion with his vocal cords, but I can't think of another song that has a guitar line this powerful, it's pure magic.

You are right - it is most always a war for the rich, fought by ordinary people. And those soldiers are the only ones that can see the enemy for what they are - brothers in arms. Makes me cry every time.

Used at many former UK 🇬🇧 service personnels funeral services. It holds a special place in the hearts of those of us that have served. " now the sun's gone to hell, and the moon's riding high, let me bid you farewell, every man has to die." Some of the most heart rending & poignant words written in a song. Well done sir, you nailed this spot on, a young man beyond his years. 👌

Wise beyond your years!

I could not agree with your words more. You are clearly a bright and thougtful young fellow. A fitting reaction. Thank you,my friend.

Mark Knopfler is a musical genius. This was top selling album of 1985. Thank you for bringing it to the attention of today’s audience

As a veteran I thank you!! Very much enjoyed the reaction and keep up the good work. You seem to be an intelligent young man, and I am thankful for that.

So nice to hear a young mind talk sense regards war. Dire Straits were one of the best ever bands to come out of the UK in my opinion Mark is one of the best guitarist's all all time.

You so right about what most wars are about it's so criminal

Dire Straits must be heard live, always. The experience is transcendental....

I loved Dire Straits growing up but this song has always been my favorite as sad as it is

Telegraph Road...a true masterpiece.

I've listened to this song since it was first released and the last verse still puts a lump in my throat.
