Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms Lyrics
These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
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
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
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

The West Wing brought me here. Jeb Bartlett is about to go before the cameras to admit that he has M.S. and has kept it a secret.

The track of my youth 😃
Ce sa spun respect
ONE of the greatest songs ever
Que buen temaa!! Me llega hasta el alma! 💆♀️👌👌🙌🙌
Great Hymn! Respect! ✌
the chills
Te zamglone góry
Są teraz dla dla mnie domem
Ale mój dom to niziny
One zawsze nim będą
Pewnego dnia wrócicie
Do swych dolin i swych farm
I nie będziecie dłużej płonąć
By stać się braćmi krwi
Na tych polach zniszczenia,
Chrzest ognia się toczy
Byłem świadkiem waszych cierpień
Gdy walki płonęły
I choć tak bardzo mnie zraniły
W trwodze, przerażeniu
Nie opuściliście mnie
Moi bracia krwi
Jest tyle różnych światów
Tak wiele różnych słońc
Mamy tylko jeden świat
A żyjemy w odmiennych
Słońce zstąpiło do piekieł
A księżyc coraz wyżej
Dajcie mi się pożegnać
Każdy człowiek musi umrzeć,
To jest spisane w świetle gwiazd
I w każdej linii na twej dłoni:
Jesteśmy głupcami tocząc wojnę
Przeciwko naszym braciom krwi
Rest in peace Ali Hampton a legend died to young miss you an Kev bro x
" h e r r l i c h ! "

Since this track is timeless, comments like "who listening to this in XXXX" makes no sense - really

♥️🙂
Band of brothers, brothers in arms.
Real music .
Dia strates good music
Maravillosa canción.
awwwsum tune, love his lazy vocal, just shear emotion nothing more!
I remember drinking myself into a stupor listening to this song while my close highschool friends were on foreign soil fighting and dying for the freedoms we thought we understood. Not some oil field "owned" by the Saud family. All wars are about control, and the fact that without them we would soon be over run with ourselves like rats overfed on the greed of corporations.
Quieres lagrimas por ti. Fueron fabfas pero las quieres de pena o más bien impotencia no poder. Ayudarte las quieres así.?? Las demás se se aron creo
Valla llaman enfermedad lo que te has creado no?? No estas obligado a ser así creeme
Beautiful song, From an era gone like most other great things. Old age is simply a series of memories. Thank you Dire Straits.
The 5th book of geralt from rivia brought me here. Baptism of fire 🔥
All the dislikes had their phones upside down
Or were Australian
@Ytrewq Wertyq true
We are brothers in arms. Forever
uma das canções mais lindas do mundo
These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day 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 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
My wife introduced me to this video. I served 12 years, she served 31. She didn't survive her service.

Mark es mejor que Mozart
What’s striking about “Brothers In Arms” is just how much Knopfler manages to convey in a minimum of words. With startling efficiency, he inhabits the soul of a wounded soldier who muses on his surroundings and waxes philosophical as his life ebbs out. It seems likely that Knopfler had the Falklands War, which took place in 1982 between the United Kingdom and Argentina, in mind when he wrote the song. But by keeping specifics out of the narrative, he makes the song a timeless treatise on the senselessness of war.
In an interview with Bill Flanagan, Knopfler spoke about the need to get inside the character as a songwriter to do the story justice. “’Brothers in Arms’ is sung by a soldier who is dying on the battlefield,” he said. “You can’t just write off the top of your head; you have to dig deep to get those things. You have to experience, if a thing is really going to be realistic, if you’re gonna try and get whatever you feel across. So, in a sense you’re an outsider, but you’re also digging inside to do it properly. I don’t think you can get away scot-free with these things; otherwise, it’s just not going to work. If you stay outside of these experiences, they’re just not going to translate to people.”
“These mist-covered mountains/Are a home now for me,” the narrator begins, contrasting that with the “lowlands” where he grew up. He foresees a time for his cohorts when they’ll leave the battlefield and return to their “valleys and their farms”, a fate he won’t enjoy. He also admires and cherishes his fellow soldiers’ bravery amidst the war’s chaos and tumult.
In the bridge, Knopfler makes subtle criticism of the man-made borders that prevent a universal brotherhood: “We have just one world/But we live in different ones.” The elegiac final verse sets the scene for the soldier’s final hour: “Now the sun’s gone to hell/And the moon’s riding high/Let me bid you farewell/Every man has to die.” With his closing words, he speaks a truth simple, profound, and, sadly, often ignored by the powers that be: “We’re fools to make war on our brothers in arms.”
All the while, Knopfler’s lyrical guitar releases the emotion pent up by the moody musical atmosphere and his controlled vocal. This gorgeous contrast makes the song a durable choice for movie and television soundtracks.
Thanks to Knopfler’s sensitive songwriting and heartfelt guitar heroics, “Brothers In Arms” has proven malleable enough to fit just about any setting. But it ultimately brings us back to that lonely mountain where we marvel at the humanity of soldiers even as we’re confronted with the inhumanity of war.
Thank you, this is really interesting
Your comment reads like a newspaper article
