Brothers In Arms - Joan Baez

1960 - 2000 with great Joan Baez.
Original from Dire Straits Mark Knopfler .

"Brothers In Arms"

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 arm

Through these fields of destruction
Baptism of fire
I've watched all your suffering
As the battles raged higher
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 on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

When I was going to Vietnam, Joan was protesting, but with style. I loved the lady and the music, then, and she is still just as beautiful inside and out now, as then.

Wonderful voice. She sang beautifully about all of our suffering under oppression. But Mark Knopfler’s creation is a lesson on any voice you can think of. Thanks to both of them

[azdesertgray]

I swear that Joan Baez should be a saint. Her dedication, her continuous non- violent protests, her voice and her quest for peace, are unsurpassed by anyone on earth. God bless you Joan Baez and thank you for everything you have given

Joan has one of the purest, most beautiful female voices of them all. Magic

[gregwarner]

One of the great moments in my life was when I realized I was on the wrong side of that war. So was the other side.

[prodigalsorcerer]

Music and art can't change the world. Except in the minds that receive it. So many people are blind to feeling and empathy but once in a while something bursts through. This is so strong and will hopefully touch someone who was unaware.

Once every five years or so I stumble upon a song that actually makes me cry. This is one of them. A stunningly beautiful performance. Joan looks and sings like an angel and one can only dream of the emotional impact this would have with Mark's guitar added on top. I'm truly grateful to have heard this.

[sergiofreitas]

The song in the right voice, no one better than Joan Baez to sing Brothers in Arms. It touches the soul, wonderful! A direct hug from Brazil! 🇧🇷

AS someone who has been in the forces, this song brings tears to my eyes. Joan gives it justice. No complicated lyrics with hidden undertones, just simple words that mean so much to us. Friends I have lost and live in different worlds now---to me anyway.

I humbly dedicate this song to my brothers in arms who never came home. A Marine corpsman who survived two tours in country. Ira Lee, Ph.D.

[hlibbondarev]

While I was fighting with my brothers in arms against russia for our independence I listened this song many times. And I remembered my lioved city - Dnipro

[RONDennisWheeler]

This would never be played on major radio today....such a shame the culture has settled for hip hop crap etc as mainstream choice of music. If not for auto tune most singers today could not carry a

[marie-joseedauphin]

Une des plus belles chansons jamais écrites par un terrien, interprétée par la voix d'un ange : Bouleversant !

[XaviClot]

Great version of a fabulous song. No matter wich side you're from, fallen soldiers have a family, loved ones, poeple they love. Bothers in arms...

[bobbailey]

This album was newly out when I was in US Paratrooper training. We all stood at the head busters bar jukebox and listened, beer in hand. There was a silence as this song played and we all knew right away that this was our song.
