Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me .
I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info.
There is a live version on an album titled "On the Night" 1988, it's just amazing. Whenever I listen to this song it puts a tear in my eye.
Wish a life in agony for a-holes doing that crap.
Love your accent 😊
Yes. He’s singing softly in this because he is singing from the perspective of a wounded and dying soldier. It’s beautiful.
Wow, it is beautiful ❤
@@BisscuteReacts The Video is already very good but you should watch Dire Straits perform this Song live (Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms - LIVE Wembley 1988)
@@BisscuteReacts I hope your generation is wiser than those before you. War is a racket as a famous US Marine once said; the only side is for arms manufacturers. As a combat veteran of Vietnam, I can tell you I just shed tears for my brothers who didn't come back home with me. God bless.
@michaelkearney3646 I hope you shed tears for all the civilians you killed before you returned home too
@@merkarion7883Thank you for the suggestion. I will listen to it right after this reaction. 👍🏻👋🏻 Such a moving song.
Mark Knopfler narrates the lyrics, his guitar sings the song
Well said
Tat was well put
The opening line "These mist covered mountains are home now to me" is a reference to the Scottish tune "The mist covered mountains of home" which is often played at funerals.
This song was played at a military funeral and everyone there was moved to tears. Very touching song.
Its a beautiful song ❤
@@BisscuteReactsMark wrote this song for the dead, wounded and mentally wounded Soldiers and his friend that died in battle in the Falklands War. So sad.
@@kausi-ok3mr But it could be about a soldier on any battlefield anywhere and at any point in human history. It has a kind of timeless quality, which is the key to its power.
I don't think I'd care to know anyone who didn't at least get a lump in the throat listening to this
@@AretaicGames totally agree. It has been adopted as a song for Veterans around the world.
You should listen to “I was only 19 “ a song dedicated to Vietnam Veterans. John Schumann the singer songwriter dedicated it to his brother in law who was a Vietnam Veteran who was suffering badly with PTSD and the effects of Agent Orange. These two songs always bring tears to my eyes.
He's simply the best guitarist in the history of music .
Along with Jimmy Paige
Tears in ´85, tears in ´23. One of these songs with most impact of my life. Thanks for reaction.
Hey Bisscute. This amazing track always makes me emotional. Mark Knopfler is a genius. He always makes his guitar do most of the talking while his vocals take second place. What an incredible message this song gives out. "We're fools to make war on our brothers in arms" WOW. God bless you for doing this song. ❤🙋♂
Genuis is a great way to describe Mark Knopfler. Unbelievable talent. This album won awards for its production values when it came out. Thanks for honoring the music of my generation.
I've been listening to this song for 40 years and it still makes me cry...
You have great taste. This song has haunted lots of us for decades, truly beautiful music.
Mark Knopfler is one of the greatest musicians I know. First with Dire Straits, later his solo CDs. He's such a great songwriter, with his music and lyrics he "paints pictures ", for example Lights of Taormina, listen to it and you think you are in Sicily...each solo album is worth to be heard❤
Hopefully more in the future ❤
Agreed, my favorite lyric writer ever....a testament to his early years as a newspaper reporter and the ability to interpret what he observes into written word!
Thanks for reacting to this great song from an awesome band. This song is from the perspective of a dying soldier. That is why these mountains will now be his home, not where he came from. And he thinks of all he has experienced. I was inspired by the Falklands war. It is sad and beautiful at the same time.
This was my brother's favourite song unfortunately he's not with us now and I find it really emotional to listen to it now, he has been gone for a few years now but it still gets to me, thank you for your sympathetic reaction, this group are really great mark Knofler's guitar is brilliant
Hey Jack hope you’re keeping well!
Your bro had impeccable taste in music 👍👍
Every time I hear this song, I think about my fellow brothers and sisters in my volunteer emergency services community worldwide. We didn't have to do it, but we chose to stand up and sign those papers knowing we will risk our lives to protect and save others any time there is a call. Our mentality of having to "go out, but not guaranteed to come back" is always with us. This song is about the tragedy of warfare and the stupidity of mankind, obviously. However, the mission of responding to dangerous and hazardous situations will hit all military and emergency services personnel sooner or later. We are all a band of brothers for that.
❤
❤🩹
Mark Knopfler is without doubt one of the finest guitarists you’ll ever hear. Dire Straits are a great band and have a large repertoire of truly sensational tracks. There live performances are amazing.
Hopefully more in the future ❤
@@BisscuteReactsNot sure but I think Marc has retired from touring. Sadly but age catches up with us all.
So, one of my favorite Dire Straits songs. I get teary-eyed listening to it. We know the message it sends and to all our brothers and sisters who are putting themselves on the line in Ukraine... God bless! ❤❤❤❤😢😢😢
Such a powerful song. There's a scene in the old show "Miami Vice" that uses this to set a striking scene. Just an unforgettable vibe. I think the perfect word for this song is melancholy. Sad, thoughtful, quiet, remembering his friends who were lost in war.
Oh I see
That was the first place I heard this song.
Miami Vice....'Out Where The Buses Don't Run'...
That whole sequence where the full version , especially the introductory instrumental.. is etched in my memory....BECAUSE of the music and the imagery
decades have passed and still get emotional listening to this song!
I have seen ex soldiers who have been in combat weep while reviewing this. Written by Mark in response to the Falklands War. I remember it so well. Bless you for your reaction 🥰
Mark Knopfel plays mostly with the fingerpicking technique and you can really hear it. He's one of the masters and immediately recognizable.
Mark Knopfler is one of a kind guitarist
One of the most hauntingly beautiful songs I’ve ever heard-I’ve listened to it for many years in memory of all veterans including my Father & Grandfather. God Bless & thank you to ALL veterans for your service and sacrifice. And thank you Mark Knopfler for this song.
“Any Soldier worth his salt should be anti-war and yet there are still things worth fighting for”- Norman Schwarzkopf.
I cry hard when I hear this. Was raised by a Grandfather that was a WWI veteran. Makes me miss him every time
Always loved how Mark Knofler makes his guitar "sing".
One of the most moving songs ever. Even more so in these troubled times. Knopfler is such a great songwriter and guitarist
Arguably one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Anything by him is highly recommended. Especially classics like Sultans of Swing, Romeo and Juliet, Private Investigations and Money for Nothing.
Mark Knopfler ranks up there with Jimi, Stevie, Jeff Healy, etc.. Pure genius and has been doing it for decades!! doesn't use a pick but his fingers and thumb to play the most amazing guitar!
The loudest voice in the room is most often not heard!
There is real power in being controlled and subtle, as you eluded to.
Love Dire Straits
This song was always on TV in 1982 during the war in Iran and Iraq, it stayed in my mind...
I think I speak for every veteran, soldier or reservist: this song will not leave any of us dry-eyed...
War is bad and must be avoided.
But, and this is my personal opinion now, when a country is invaded it has every right in the world to defend itself and ask for help and all countries in the world have a moral duty to help that country in some way!
None of us want to go to war but we know that unfortunately sometimes it is necessary to protect the freedom of those who cannot defend themselves.
The sudio albums of Dire Straits are great. The live albums of Dire Straits are magic.
There are, to me, not many artists where this order is true except maybe emotionally.
The "On the night" live album from Dire Straits is powerful magic.
There are only a handful of guitarists that really move me: Mark Knopfler, David Gilmore, Gary Moore and Alex Lifeson. Thank you for reacting to this song!
This song has a great soul.
Thank you for watching this video. It is my favourite Dire Straits song for not only the sheer musical beauty but my late father was a British SAS veteran. You referred to the series Band of Brothers and I have always felt this song could have easily be the soundtrack for it.
So happy you have finally got to react to Dire Straits. The whole band were highly talented musicians and once you have heard Mark Knoplers distinctive style on guitar you will never forget it. If you want to react to more of their music can I suggest Sultans of Swing or Telegraph Road , the live versions from the genuinely legendary Alchemy tour of 1993? So, thanks for this one Biss, many of us have waited patiently for this reaction.
Agreed although it was 1983
@@aaronherbison7316 My mistake Aaron. I had just been listening to some music that WAS from 1993 and was stuck in that decade.
The 1992 concert in Nimes is my favourite concert of theirs. But hard to go wrong with any concert.
For a Girl,I'd go for Romeo and Juliet or his Princes Bride soundtrack.
@@bwilson5401 Both great choices but there are so many when it comes to D.S.. Telegraph Road (imho) gives the whole band the opportunity to show what fine musicians they are, bass guitar, drums, piano and of course M.K's stunning lead guitar.
No words were ever truer than "...we're fools to make war on our brothers in arms." War has never produced a winner, the so called "victors" just lose less.
He's telling a story about the futility of war. Most of his songs are a narrative.
The emphasis is always instrumental.
i was 12 when that came out and even all these years later its still in my top 5 songs of all time
Not many guitarists have the touch and class of Mark Knopfler. He also has the best "speak-singing" if that's your thing. If you do Sultans of Swing, you have to do the live Alchemy version, it has one of the greatest solos ever.
Ill add it to the listed ❤
😅The live version of Sultans of Swing is one of favourites of all time.
Brothers In Arms from DIRE STRAITS Live ON THE NIGHT 1993 Concert is unforgettable. Tissues are needed. Loving your channel. I also recommend the song Calling Elvis from this same concert. Cheers from Australia. 🎸🎸🎸
This song really touched my heart. It is beautifully written and performed. How can people invent such things? So much talent to know how to do this. It is amazing.
I bought the "Brothers In Arms cassette tape upon it's release. I loved Dire straights back then. Still do love them today. I like every song on that album. Thanks for showcasing this one here, today. You picked a mellow, kind of sad one. But it is cool for all the Veterans and service personnel. I love you lots, Bisscute. Hello and goodbye from this ol' Southern boy in East tennessee. See you on the next. Peace. Later.
Mark Knopfler is one of the greatest song composers the UK has ever produced - pure poetry.
This hidden gem was and still is painfully underappreciated. It may be the most underrated song of the 1980's.
I'm pretty certain it has over a billion views and has been adopted by every military as their anthem.Thats not underappreciated.And the titular album is one of the biggest selling of all time.
"Once upon a time in the west" was right there at the end, just click it :D Thank you for listening to this anyway.
Always sends a chill down my spine and reminds me of my father.
Mark Knopfler makes that guitar cry for us all and the futility of war.
Lest we forget.
"Mark Knopfler has an extraordinary ability to make a Schecter Custom Stratocaster hoot and sing like angels on a Saturday night, exhausted from being good all week and needing a stiff drink."
-Douglas Adams, So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, #4)
One of the many truths in the guide!
One of the greatest guitar players of all time!!!
Dire Straits and the Police are 2 of my Favourites, the UK has so many talented artists over the years, starting from the biggest of them all, The Beatles and Stones.
You really should react to Dire Straits Sultans of Swing Alchemy live. It is without doubt the best live performance ever. You will not be disappointed. Love your videos xXx
It truly is!
The live version has so much energy, the drum fills will knock you out and the changes of tempo and mood leading up the the last crescendo are magical. The enjoyment of the band as they literally jam together is amazing. MK is at his best.
all time classic! ♥
It's a great song, the context of the scenes of the show were sad, kinda saying goodbye to a friend
Almost every time I hear this song, I end up crying. Though I don't particularly know whether it is because of my lost friends, or just because of the war in my country
One of the best songs ever made. Briliant Mark Knopfler
Hello from Switzerland, since I heard the song for the first time in 1985/1986, it has been one of the songs I keep hearing (it's on my playlist for a long time, of course). Along with "Telegraph Road" one of Dire Straits' most outstanding songs. Mark Knopfler's guitar playing, in a way similar to David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), emphasizing the song in places, underlining the text or addressing the emotional level.
A peace song from my understanding, as meaningful and deep as "Imagine" (John Lennon), both songs will stand the test of time and will probably not lose their meaning for a long time.
Of course, as a veteran soldier, the song title has a special meaning, because nobody is closer to you in such times than the "brother" with the gun next to you, who stands by you when the worst comes to the worst.
I usually prefer live recordings, but sometimes, like this song in particular, with the black and white smearing, it fits the song like nothing else.
Dire Straits - one of my favourite band. Mark Knopfler one of the best quitarist in the world. Great reaction, thanks for this.
This song is so moving. I especially love how the song started so softly and became powerful at the end. There's no doubting the genius of Mark Knopfler. ❤
The power of subtlety
Such a hauntingly beautifully sad song. Marks soft, subtle delivery belies the trauma and sorrow of a dying soldier, but not so much that it cannot move anyone to tears. I think on a world stage it is slightly under-rated as an anti-war song, but I think that goes with what you said about the song mid-point, it doesn't need to be in your face, it doesn't need to be shouted. Loved this reaction, thank you.
Dire Straits has so many great songs. This one is very special. It will break you up if you let it. Just beautiful.
This song will always remind me of an episode of 'Our Tune' which was introduced by Simon Bates on Radio 1
I can't remember the year, but a Woman had written in to the Show to explain the loss of her Husband in a War (at that time) leaving her and her Children on their own.
Simon Bates told the Story to the listening audience, with his usual heart felt description, then he introduced this song that the Woman had chosen as 'Our Tune'........It simply had me in pieces listening to it.
I hope today that this Woman and her Children are much happier.
One of my favourite songs back in the day, it hurts because we used to listen to this and now there is only me left.
I still love it... but it hurts.
Incredible lyrics and an absolute masterpiece the guitars and vocals are emotionally sad and draws you in like no other,
the guitars are even sad simply exquisite and truly excellent that still stands the test of time
Simply magical
I almost cried here with you...❤
There are 2 live versions on line, they will blow your mind. There's a little more content in them.
Home Free covered this a couple of years ago and did an amazing job!
Agree! Home Free acapella vocal band. Their rendition is beautiful and haunting. A simple setting, but they sent the message!
I listen to it all the time and I hope it’s played the day I pass over to all your brothers in arms May god bless you all
I loved seeing this on the old MTV days.
How much more pertinent is this emotive song in our current climate.
I always get goosebumps when i listn to this song another fellow Geordie
Home Free did a great cover of this song
Another Mark Knopfler masterpiece.
I completly agree !! ❤❤
one of the best songs ever, you capture the essence of it perfectly
yeah!!! this song has a deep impact!!!😮
I've lost brothers in 3 wars. And for whatever reason I survived. I feel left behind.
Never whole again, are we.
Stay strong
You have an old and wise soul for one so young. Lovely and thoughful reaction to another classic.
"and though they did hurt me so bad, in the fear and alarm, you did not desert me, my brothers in arms" underlies the basis of why men and women fight.
This is gonna be good.
Could listen to this a thousand times. Thanks for your moving comments.
One of the best and most haunting rock songs ever created. An incredible message and delivery. Starting with the sound of distant artillery, this lament is aimed against all wars, but particularly those caused by aggression and greed. This song is meant to get us emotional and thinking about why. Why do we allow ourselves to be fools; manipulated over and over? Nationalism, like religion, has caused so much pain, death, and suffering. And for nothing.
I must strongly disagree. There are some things worth fighting and dying for. Your country (“Nationalism” in your vernacular) is one of them. As is your brother or sister in arms. As is God. If there is nothing worth dying for how can there be anything worth living for?
@@maxsparks5183
Well put.
He never sings loud, and he is a story teller so he basically speaks the words.
You should react to Dire Straits playing Sultans of Swing and Telegraph Road both from the 1983 Alchemy Live concert.
This song and Disturbeds version of Sound of Silence should both be listened to as they both have a similar powerful presence though quite different but they both talk about humanity and the sadness of the world.
This song has been known to make many grown men cry. Im 57 and i still do.
Theyre absolutely great at their art and they know how to use their tools of the trade, guitar doesnt need to be loud, it tells a story with each note, his voice is more poweful telling the message than if he just sang louder. They are gods of their art and know exactly what to do to bring out your emotions, happy or sad.
You really need to see Home Free doing this. Awesome cover, of this great song.
Probably too late now. I think you have to listen to them the other way around. The original has Marks guitar as one of the singers and the Home Free version just doesn’t have that.
The cover is fine…until you hear the piece as it was meant to be.
@@SteveJones-om6ks I disagree.
His voice is soft because this is the final lyrical narrative of a soldier dying on a battlefield.
Great take on a great song. You are spot on.
While I wouldn't call Mark Knopfler gifted in the vocals department, he more than makes up for it with his guitar playing. This song is one of my favorite Dire Straights songs. IIRC, he also played the guitar for the closing credits song at the end of the Princess Bride movie. That was a beautiful song.
Such a great song, about a soldier dying on the battlefield, surrounded by his comrades, who remain by his side as he slips away. It's a look at the folly of war and how in the end even "the enemy" are brothers in arms. And I agree everyone should hear it at some point especially politicians (of all parties).
Whispering is the very best way to make people listen because they have to really concentrate on what's being said.
About time Biss :D Mark Knopfler and Dire Staits are one of the best. All of there songs are emotional.
Again, I'm new to your channel, so I don't know if anyone else has said this: Knopfler is one of the only rock guitarists who doesn't play with a pick..really ever. He plays his chords and melodies entirely with his fingers on his right hand, which makes his tone unique.
Don't you just love Mark's sound he gets out of his guitar. His guitar makes me feel the same way Sting makes me feel with his vocals and the construction of his songs.
Both are Geordies, growing up in Newcastle area...Mark was born in Scotland but his Mom was from Newcastle and the family returned when he was very small
Hello beautiful Bisscute thats good, nice arrangement enjoy your reaction
Possibly the most perfect song ever.
What a great song. What great guitar playing. Only a few people can do that. 👍❤ I recommend Dire Straits - "Money for nothing" and if you want to hear something else Journey - "Don't stop believin" and "Faithfully".
Please have a look at the live version of this song. It really hits hard.
This song is one of the few us Veterans like that's anti-war - as it doesn't demonize US.
IMO one of the 3 or 4 best, and where it ranks on that list is ALL about my mood.
IMHO mark us one of the great songwriters of our time. The band is insane live and oh yeah. Mark's guitar work is as evocative as anything in modern Rock. This is a very specisl band.
I’m holding his hand on the battlefield. That what this makes me think of. The futility of war.
Mark Knopfler is also extremely good as a solo artist.
