Dire Straits "Brothers In Arms"

Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms
Album: Brothers In Arms
Year: 1985

Lyrics:

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day youll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And youll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
Ive witnessed all your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

Theres so many different worlds
So many differents suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the suns gone to hell
And the moons riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But its written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
Were fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

Im leaving to afghanistan soon, i hope i'll survive, I actually regret...

[Zhudewang]

@daveeeed Aside from the poetic lyrics and his personal experience, I guess this is how artists are... they write a song that can be applied to many situations and in various levels of experience.... even if they may not be conscious of all of them. There is an element of timelessness in this song. His guitar works makes it even better - you can really listen to the guitar crying.

[JesusJuiceNorthy]

this song sends shiver's down my spine, but it mean's so much to me

[Razorbutterflye]

Hard to believe this song is 27 years old. It sounds like it could have very easily been made in the last year or two.

[DaanGaming]

I listen to dubstep...

But this song gives me goosebumps nevertheless.

[Trane523]

I was shocked when i relalized this song was 7 min long...it goes by so fast. It feels like 4 min

@mysticaltheologist If that`s the situation you`re in,I feel for you,I really am...but,isn`t it true that the same song,maybe,doesn`t have the same meaning for two different people?All I`m saying here,is that,whatever the meaning of the song is,is upon the listener to interpreat the core of it...that`s all...

[mysticaltheologist]

@havardk95 You have choice. You always have a choice. You don't have to take part in their system.

[stammorai]

Dedicated to anyone who ever fought in a war,and lived to regret it...and to thse who didn`t make it...

[55nanok]

@prichoso there are actually people who are willing to go out there, well knowing that they may never never return. And even if they return, they are changed for life. that's not something to be taken lightly.

[GSreviewspreviews]

this song was played at my grandfathers funeral, i said so many bad things about him before he died, and only now i realise how much i miss him...so if you are looking down at me now from heaven, im sorry! i should have never said those things! please forgive me!
