Joan Baez ~ BROTHERS IN ARMS ~ M. Knopfler

I really love this song by Joan. This song has been posted somewhere else, but Joan does it so beautifully I must post it again. There is that beautiful but very haunting melody. Credit must be given to Mark Knopfler who composed the song perhaps with the same vision as Joan.

BROTHERS IN ARMS

These mist covered mountains
Are home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And it always will be
Someday you`ll return to your valleys
and your farms
And no longer burn to be brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I have witnessed your suffering
As the battle raged higher
And though it had hurt me so bad then
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me my brothers in arms

There are many different worlds and
A million different suns
But we have just one world
Why live in different ones?

Now the sun`s gone to hell
And the moon`s riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Everyman has to die
And it`s written in the stars above
And every line in your palm
We`re fools to make war on our
brothers in arms

I can only imagine Mark Knopfler playing this song with Joan Baez... that would be just Wow...

[WalkerBros4Ever]

She is so gifted and so open-hearted. She has inner beauty as well as aesthetic beauty and always seems to be genuine without being overbearingly dominant in her beliefs and views. Joan for President!!!!

[21fretsalute]

Wow, she adds some amazing vocal inflections to the melody.

[stoops44]

yep heard both yet the man Mr kopfler is the classic and so he should be. yet still a beautiful version by this lady..

[MiG853]

If this had a guitar track you'd be griping about it not being in the same style, having the same feel, or just generally being as good as Knopfler.

[Baez - Knopfler colaboration would be amazing.]

@eyesontheplanet shut up. are you one of those who thinks everybody is supposed to cover a song identically to the original? If you want to listen to Mark's guitar, please do so. I think Mark would tell you IT'S THE MESSAGE THAT MATTERS if your mind is big enough to grasp it. It's called INTERPRETATION, dummy.

[GrannyTenderstone]

thanks for all the inspiration you've been in my life Joan, both musically, socially, politically, etc.!

LMAO I had to Sing the guitar from my mouth between the lyrics to give myself the affect ... Mark Knopfler turned it into the greatest masterpiece in the world

[MrStef05]

une grande dame pour une grande chanson respect pour tous les hommes de bonne volonté

[eyesontheplanet]

Where is the FREAKING GUITAR???? Doesn't she get it ? No. Joan thinks she is superior to everyone else. Sure, she has a great voice. But the guitar is a voice this song requires. Think about who that guitar is speaking for. - And not just any guitar. Mark's guitar.

[COYOTEatACME]

I would ask Mark Knofler to please record this song with Joan Baez!. Please as artists this could be transcendant,,,

[steviemurf1991]

Awesome
