Brothers In Arms - The Dire Straits - Lyrics

Single by Dire Straits. Recorded December 1984

[donnahope]

The song written by Mark as he watched the Falklands conflict in 1982, his despair at war.
The words cut deep for all military personnel in all wars no matter what side.
Enters your soul as painfuly and easily as knife through butter.

[thomashammond]

To my son SSG.Thomas R.Hammond (two tours in the sandbox) who I lost in 2020 and now his mother is gone they are now together and waiting for me. His Dad and brother in arms SGT. Thomas Hammond RVN 1969

30 year vet, Canadian, Combat Engineer. I have been so moved by this ever since I first heard it. I was a diver and paratrooper. Trained with many American outfits. Good people. Respect.

[saintarmstrong]

I was a soldier once, a lifetime ago it seems. Until I hear this song and the emotions came out. Not everyone came back alive, but we didn't leave our brothers in arms either. Keep on living and loving for those that can't.

[hitandruncommentor]

Dire Straits, one of the most underestimated and most versatile groups of all time.

[RicoBurghFan]

Knopfler is widely acknowledged as one of the great guitarists ever but he is such an amazing vocalist and lyricist as well. Thank you God for creating this wonderful man.

[kiasax]

I'm a former military sniper. My best friend was my spotter. He was shot and killed next to me. The five guys shooting at us are not going to shoot anyone else ever again.
I took my best friend and buried him in a safe place so our enemies could not desecrate his body. The idea that his parents may have seen his body drug behind a truck was more than I could bear.
This is a great video and made me think of my best friend and all of the brothers I lost.

[gazzar]

Im 53 and just realised these words when i was doing a work out, so googled this song which lead me to this page, i have to say that song should be an anthem for every country to seriously think about the lives and destruction they play a part of when going to war and the impact they play on human cost and destruction of families, for the greatness of greed, that is what causes war, war is GREED and POWER, we need to live in harmony, respect your fellow neighbour, try to respect culture and our diffrences and maybe we can live as ONE.

[marloscorrea]

Sou um policial militar da reserva do estado do Rio de janeiro onde servi por trinta anos e entrei em combate por diversas vezes perdendo vários amigos de profissão! Nosso lema FORÇA E HONRA! E NINGUÉM FICA PARA TRÁS!

[legionarpublius]

We often blame the soldiers for acts in the war because we see them in the pictures, but the blame is on politicians and business leaders who are rarely or never in the limelight. One of the best songs in the world.

[IgorGendalfTsagaev]

Я бывший воин советской армии служил в Афганистане 42 года назад мне тоже это песня запала в сердце у меня наворачиваются слезы ведь у солдата любой армии мира судьба похожа

[livasiaernest]
