One of the best and saddest songs ever sung.
It's sung from the point of view of a dying soldier.
Its a masterpiece, written in 1982/3 after the Falklands War
Still relevant today, sadly 💙💙💛💛
What makes this song so extraordinary is that it could be a soldier on a battlefield anywhere in the world, at any point in human history. It's a rare thing for a musician to write a song with such a timeless quality.
Mark Knopfler and David Gilmour are the two guitarists that can actually make their instrument cry 😢
.... along with listener(s).
A great thing.
Others too!
Definitely. The only artist that can make it sound like they're doing a duet with their guitar
I couldn't agree more !
so true!
The song is written from the point of view of a wounded and dying soldier in the Falklands War in 1982
He makes that guitar cry. And me with it.
I've always felt this song in my soul, and it always brings tears to my eyes. ♥
Did again this time, and I've heard it lots!!!
YES
My dad fought in WW2 and had a Gurkha friend. A stick grenade exploded and wounded my dad in the arm. When he looked around his friend had taken the full blast and was killed.
My dad hardly ever spoke of the horrors he experienced but said that he was shielded by his friend and would probably be dead.
He lost a lot of mates during that time but he never got over the loss of his Gurkha friend and said he was the kindest, bravest man he ever met.
My dad never hated the Germans and thought it was sad that politicians always start wars but are rarely affected by them on both sides.
This song always hits me right in the guts every time.
✌️❤️🇬🇧
One of the greatest things I have read on CZcams in months..! My parents were both Officers in WWII only Mom out ranked my Dad (he was a B25 Pilot headed to China and they call them CBI's
Having been a soldier myself, brothers never leave anyone behind. Peace is key
Wise words brother.
Yes, to me also the most moving lyrics in the song are when he says " and though they did hurt me so bad, in the fear and alarm, you did not desert me, my brothers in arms". So powerful...
40 years after and I still remember the lyrics. It truly was one and always will be one of the best songs.
So beautiful and a great tribute to those who served. As a 22 year veteran this really touched me.
Oh pa 😢
Me too brother.
i never served and i get very emotional when i hear this song.
We're all brothers and sisters in arms.
All equal.
Great choice! Absolutely love Dire Straits. This is one of their finest. It has so much to say.
One of the most tender, sad, and powerful anti-war protest songs. Affects me so deeply, every time. The guitar solo is an intimate experience.
Great reaction! I can't through this song without shedding tears...Mark's words and the emotion in his guitar make it this way. This song can apply to ALL service people, no matter which conflict through time. It's message is truly universal!
My goodness, you felt it , such a melancholy and brilliant song, you are a beautiful person Sarah

I was not headed here, but I stopped. This whole video made me cry and I loved it
Thank you from the bottom of my heart - yours was a truly sincere and moving reaction to one of the greatest anti-war songs. It always brings me to tears. To quote another memorable song from the past "War. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing."
one of the greatest Song of All Time
I can relate to this song and it always brings a tear to my eye. It was played at the funeral of one of my friends who served with me. I was not the only Scotsman who cried that day. March no more my soldier laddie, march no more now the battles O'er. You described the song well, your description came straight from your heart ❤️
I must have heard this track 10,000 times. Last time, like my first time, it reminded me of brothers long gone and past. Still bring tears to my eyes, memories are distant but not all forgotten. Thanks for your take on this.
Saw Mark Knopfler once in Oberhausen. Due to a back injury he sat on a bar chair. I guess there were about 10-15.000 people there, but sometimes the venue was so silent, you could hear a needle drop and it felt like he played in your living room. Absolute legend. Only man on the planet who has a goosebump-voice and plays goosebump-guitar...Greetings from the "Ruhrgebiet"
Grüsse zurück aus Noord Holland. Und Sie haben Recht. Dieses Stück gibt mir immer Gänzehaut.
He doesn't play many notes, but but those he plays are just that exact ones
There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different one
Aphenomenal Song by Mark Knopfler and the Dire Straits is "Telegraph Road"! Probably their best Song...
I confess...cried down here.
You know, there are classic tunes...and then there are CLASSIC TUNES !! This is way up there with the best of them.
Nice reaction btw.
I grew up listening to Dire Straights, my parents would always play their albums when they had friends over, and remember hearing their music from by bedroom.
The song is on another level, like most Mark Knopfler compositions. Incredible band in Dire Straits. Wonderful reaction. ❤
Mark's sound is unmistakable. ❤❤❤
Such a beautiful reaction Sarah!! Thank you!! Take care!!
....speechless...😮
Your reaction to this great song was very moving, thank you!
Really beautiful reaction. Thank you for this. In the end, we share one world and we’re all brothers and sisters in arms.
As a combat vet this song hits hard.
-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').
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.
I loved our tune, was always a sad story. First played 1979 every morning 11am.
Hey Sarah ♥️ ich schreib mal auf deutsch. Jedes mal wenn ich diesen Song höre, laufen mir die Tränen. 2 Grunde gibt es dafür... Den Song selber und zu sehen das andere normale Menschen auch noch Gefühle haben und ein bisschen nachdenken. 1 world, living in different once!... Sarah, mach weiter so und bleib wie du bist 🤘♥️
Talking about solders I lost so many friends during the iraq war i see you keep putting outstanding music on sarah keep the music and reactions are like 🍒 s on top 🤠😅
The song is actually about a dying soldier saying goodbye to his friends, and them continuing to speak to him until his eyes slowly closed and he was gone. 🇺🇸😎
Yes it was Lieutenant Lawrence shot by an Argentinian Sniper on Mount Tumbledown in the Falklands War ...he was shot they say when the Agentinians were retreating and he stood up and shouted to his men "are you having fun yet!"
I remember the first time hearing Dire Straits. After that i always knew when they played.
Sarah, thank you so much for reacting to this (true) version of Brothers In Arms. Beautiful reaction! ❤
Sarah, you are one of my favourite reactors out there. You have a beautiful soul! This is such a touching song and it never fails to make me cry.😢
Excellent choice
You have such a nice voice and speak clear thx for your comment mark is a great guitarst love his songs your reactions are ❤❤❤❤
Back in 1985 i bought this album. It became the first to sell over 1 million copies on the new CD format. To this date it's still up there with the best. The title song is a true masterpiece that rips your heart apart. 😢
We used to joke that every CD player sold came with this album free.
EMOTION..FEELINGS..TEARS...❤🥀
Nice Reaction of this awesome song. I glad you so munch for this react - your comments was awesome too.. amazing.. congrats
very emotive reaction that says it all , thank you
Yes, to the comments below this one. I've been moved to tears by it since it came out. Mark Knopfler is a musical genius, w/o a doubt. There's a beautiful live version of this that I would really recommend to you: from their DVD, On the Night, 1993. If anything, more powerful. Thanks for doing him, and please do more.
Absolutely Michael! That concert was extraordinary from start to finish. Thank God the audio and video work done to produce the DVD were equally as impressive. Everyone’s performance on the stage that night still inspires. It’s surprising how many have no idea it exists. Everyone I show it to is blown away. Saw both this show and Pink Floyd’s Pulse Tour that same yr only months apart. Two of the greatest shows I’ve seen in 50yrs. To a fellow traveler, regards…
Its actually a song about PEACE ☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️✌️
A very moving tune and vid and reaction ❤️
Just beautiful, Thanks love❤️👍👊
Her reaction is the best. Just listen and be soothed by the music
nice to hear an honest heart
Much Love!! That's how you do a reaction video!
Usually I find the videos distracting but this one is pretty amazing.
"Every man has to die". Everybody dies in war. Only, some of us get to live to tell the tale, and some of us don't. That's just the way it is (the ugly truth that stings). Clint Eastwood put it best at the end of the movie "The Outlaw Josie Wales", saying: I guess we all died a little in that damn war.🇺🇸😎
I love how open-minded you are in choosing videos to react to, and the depth of your sincerity is moving. ❤
I feel😂you Sister. Your tears are contagious 😢🙏 for Peace, Love, and Understanding 🤗
Bless you Sarah. You have a beautiful heart.
If you don’t show Emotion listening to this song you have no heart best song Ever thanks to All the Arm services for you service
IMPRESIONANTE,
It's tearfull stuff for sure
Thanks you ! Your reaction make me cry ! (scuse my english, I am french).
Misty covered mountains refer to I corps in Vietnam!! This is a very beautiful tribute to the Vietnam War Veterans!! Mark Knoflers masterpiece
Actually, Knopfler wrote this in the aftermath of the Falklands War but was also written as a tribute to all those that serve in time of war.
No, it doesn't at all. It's a reference to the Falkland Islands. It may be a surprise to you but not everything revolves around the United States.
@@jedislap8726 Yes it's about the Falkland war but it could be any war. That's the point.
@@johnbrowne2170 But as you agreed, it wasn't about 'any' war and certainly not as the OP stated, The Vietnam War. THAT is the point.
@jedislap8726 We assume it was about the Falkands War because of the timeline when it was written. If the songwriter wanted it to be specific he could have been. It was about all war and useless loss of life regardless.
You know there's something about music that touches the soul.
Such a beautiful reaction! Thanks ❤
A fabulous tune - Great Music ❤
One of my favorites, I love to see you love this song. 😊
Também gosto quando escuto essa música. Sem palavras.
One of my favorite songs of all time.
One of thr most powerful anti-war songs ever written and performed.
Dire Straits is one of my favs.
soldier are die but never forgot in all the war from the past right up to day , war still carry on why and for what .
❤❤❤❤
What a beautiful song, by a master of song ,tears in my eyes. Poor soldiers fighting politicians battles, would they be any wars if they had to fight as well?
Greetings young lady a great band and a great song.Did you have a look at Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing (Alchemy Live)?If not it is smashing.Stay safe young lady.
Oh yes! It’s the first song of theirs I checked out! Still gets me! 😅
This is why Mark is in my view one of the best guitarists in the world. He can make a guitar weep. And his playing style is so recognisable.
For another moving war song, have a listen to James Blunt's "No Bravery". James served in the British Army during the war in Kosovo in the 90s with the UN peacekeepers and he wrote this song about what he saw while over there.
You might check out home frees cover of “brothers in arms” its aasterpiece of haunting bass and beautiful harmonies
she said she'd already listened to that
Perfect reaction. Thank you.
...so great, you made old man cry..🥰
Well done ! And well said!
a song that will never lose a bit of its impact!..
A lovely review/reaction video. Always remember the average person is even wager 99.9% of the worlds population don’t want to live in a constant flux of fear & war. Nearly every single person just wants to live a good life and be kind to others.
It’s the people we elect, the politicians who wage war & division. Let’s make them go to the front line.
Stay safe people.
I asked my family to please play this song at my funeral. The eternal human dilemma. Those closest to each other fight the most. Europeans are, factually, genetically, culturally, in terms of everything, a variation of a theme, and we have been in war, killing each other, for at least 2000 years, and it still is going on right now. WHY the F..in HELL? And Sarah -- a) thanks for sharing your emotions. It helped me a lot with crystalizing an African female protagonist in a Novel I am working on. AND: I struggled for a moment with your accent. First thought: something South Georgia (US). Second thought: no way... she is the real thing. Ghana perhaps? But no. Then I got it: Nigeria! Fun fact: When I studied in Hawai'i, I had a Sri Lankan roommate. His accent was somewhat similar ;-).
Oh -- and just for clarification: the African novel character I referred to is a refugee who made it to Europe all by herself, after incredible heartship, at age 16. She worked and studied really hard, became an engineer, got her Ph.D. and at the current stage in the novel is head of a maritime engineering research lab. So far in my writing she lacked emotional depth 🙂
🤪🤡
Simply one of the greatest anti-war songs ever performed. Mark Knopfler was simply a genius during the "Brothers in Arms" sessions. One of the great works of art during the 80s'.
nice theme greetings from Uruguay 🇺🇾❤✌️
It is a somber song. It's about soldiers dying in battle 😢
Humanity is one single race and that the day has come for its unification in one global society - The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens.

Este maravilloso tema me trae de regreso a mi hermano cada vez que la escucho, descanza en paz bro✨️
wunderschön ! genial ! grüsse aus bayern!
Uma belíssima canção cuja letra Infelizmente ainda é atual. Na época, Malvinas, hoje Rússia e Ucrânia, irmãos de origem. Literalmente Brothers in Arms!
The Brothers in Arms album is fantastic.
Música linda, algo mesmo inspirado do alto.
Vida longa a este Mestre da Guitarra e composição chamado Mark Knopfler. Incredible!
Brother in Arms 1988 Mandela Live in London are best version of Mark. 👍
You can't actually explain how good Mark Knopler plays the guitar. Genius doesn't cut it.
This is so important right now, and maybe for always.
Great reaction and deeply felt.

I just had open heart surgery. It does something to your emotions. I’ve known this song since it first came out. I’ll bet it has something to do with the troubles in Ireland your reaction to it. I could hardly watch you. I’ve cried the whole time my sister in music
Listening to this song for what must be the thousandth time and sobbing just like the first time. My heart breaks to see the rise of the far right, the rise in hatred in all its forms. This song still unheard and unheeded by so many of us 😢
