The song was based on a dying serviceman, grateful to his colleagues for not leaving him and commenting on the futility of war
It’d about the Falklands war but relevant to any war to this day.
During the Falklands war a young guy came into my hair salon in England for a hair cut. He was in the army and had been fighting in the Falklands war! He told about me about an experience he had when his hair caught fire on the back of his head, and he didn't know because he couldn't feel it burning for some reason. His friend put the fire out. I'll never forget his story!😢
In UK, there are the Highlands, like in Scotland (mountainous) and more to the south, the Lowlands. As Stephen said, this is about a war, provoked by a english politician just for her "glory" . A lot of good men and women lost their lives for nothing. I am a German, but my respect goes out to all those who protect and serve their people.
Wow.
I am no fan of Margaret Thatcher but you've got some nerve 😂
Too all the American Vets, Thank you for your service! Form a Canadian army Vet (reserves) ! This is about the Falklands War!
He died in the mountains, but he was from a valley. He has mixed emotions about the men he died for, and the cause they fought for, and he regrets taking up arms to fight. But he has love for them, and he gave his life, regardless of how he feels about it, bitter or not.
But it’s written in the starlight
And every line in your palm
We are fools to make war on our
Brothers in Arms
when you watch the video, it plays out like a diary of the war, the waiting to sailing over, the landing, the push, the first ships sunk and the dying sailors, then the charge to the final objectives, the second series of sailors dying en-mass, the different world back home in England, the final battle of the soldier to whom the perspective is told from, the desire not to fight and the follies and loss of war, then the fields of the fallen and the subtleness of the graves merging into the sea to honour the fallen sailors too, then the calm weather after war and it all fades to a distant memory. so cleverly and respectfully put together, such class.
in response to your initial question, "but my home is the lowlands" is reference to the catchment areas of those of whom generally serve, working class people, lowlands, valleys and farmsteads.
I am a big Dire Straits fan, but I haven't heard this one in awhile. Thanks for that!
A good song for Memorial Day
In the 1st World War, from 1914 to 1918, there was great excitement for a young man to go off 'on an adventure.''' This was a time when the majority of people did not get to travel far. You had 15 year olds going to fight in the most horrible situations, lieing about their ages. The lyrics are saying.. they are burning or desiring so much to go and fight with their friends, or 'brothers in arms.' In World War 1, the young men from a whole village would go off and fight. Most died or were horribly wounded.
You need to listen to the music and lyrics before you comment, you are stopping to much, they're Irish with Irish history. It's a big world Man 💖
They're not Irish. They're from Newcastle and Mark Knopfler was born in Scottland.
Mark is not Irish my guy. He was born in Scotland with Hungarian ancestry
@@ekathrynlee7757 they are from the northeast of England definitely not Irish
-We can see a classic scene with this song, on the TV show "Miami Vice" in the 1980's, (in last scene of the episode: 'Out Where the Buses Don't Run'):
I was a big Miami Vice fan - hard for younger people to understand what a groundbreaking series this was - this scene with this music is seared in my memory. Probably the most memorable television scene in my life
It is now a common sentiment for a combat veteran to pledge that if they survive, they will seek out a quiet farm where they can live out in peace
Actually surprised it didn't hit you harder.... There are also two killer live versions of it. Personally, I think it's high art. Try Telegraph Road from the Alchem Tour.
I read that after they performed this song at Nelson Mandela’s tribute concert the song was so popular in South Africa that the “powers that be” asked who should get the royalties. They replied “Amnesty International.” After that they were banned from performing in South Africa.
Fuckin outstanding reaction. Kudos to you brother. Real humanity.
Lowlands is the low lying flat farm fields and valleys as opposed to the hills and highland.
This whole album is a trip. It'd be an interesting album reaction for sure, but it goes a lot of places. This song is the last one on the album, and the album version is much longer with lots of places for the different parts to breathe.
It's notable that Brothers in Arms was one of the very first all-digital productions in the music industry, all the way back in 1985. And it sounds fantastic. The original release version has so much dynamic range because it was before compression and getting everything as loud as possible was really a thing. As a result, the loud parts of songs really stand out from the quieter sections. "Why Worry" is dreamy and intimate. "One World" is poppy and bombastic. My favorite deep cut from the album, though, has to be "Your Latest Trick". It paints such a neat musical picture, you can almost smell the air surrounding the story.
We fight on the hills, we make homes and families in the valleys, along the rivers.
Stop stopping all the time and listen.....
@@peterlewis5151 thank you!!
Lol. It’s his reaction to the song, which he uploads for us to watch his reaction… well that’s why I’m here.
You know you could just go to Dire Straits channel and watch the vid.
Home Free does a great cover of this
Scotland is divided into Highlands and lowlands
lowlands is land that is prone to flooding
Thank you. I think one of the reasons it hits hard to me as antiwar protest is because it's so simple - there no flashy riffs or twirls to hide behind.
Can I recommend Home Free's cover now? It's a masterclass in arranging❤🎉🎉
Sure
@@MugnifyRTS 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Try 1988 Mandela concert!!!
There is an epic guitar solo on the Nelson Mandela birthday celebration of this song, if you ever want to check it out. It hits different.
the lyrics were obvious and well written, why the confusion ?
This was during the Falkland war. Britain against a British subject.
"Britain against a British subject"? I don't understand what you mean.
It was the UK vs Argentina.
This was hard to watch. I think you can do better dude....
Man this is not a song for you; you're too busy running your mouth. It's a masterpiece, beyond your taste.
Everyone has different tastes in music, and that's totally fine!
@@MugnifyRTS following that line of thought; you should listen to music that is more suitable to your level of appreciation.
This song, well it’s all about the 1st world war but this song is all about every war, i was in Afghanistan with the British army and i was blown up my friends were killed i was ok i only got my leg taken off so i came out good but this song is all about your friends who you lost and i think about them every day they were my life
