Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms (HQ sound)

Uploaded because at the time, I couldn't find the song on YouTube with this good quality.

The great, original video for the Dire Straits 1985 song.

LYRICS

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

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed 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

There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms.

This WAS the original video. Was on MTV all the time. I remembered it and searched for it here.

@shellyp231 Oh I know it is, I just didn't want to get all in that other guy's face just because he was a bit wrong.

[Anes993]

you've missed the lyrics:

it's not  i've watched all your suffering

it's i've whitnessed your suffering.

:D

[jellonasuolaa]

Oh, yeah.

I knew the correct lyrics but just copied them from a website for convenience. Never again :D

[oldengland]

I clearly remember the original video. It was a simple colour documentary showing daily life scenes from Israel.

[jellonasuolaa]

So this is not the original video?

Do you have any other sources than your memory? =)

Maybe a link to the video?

[shellyp231]

Oh ok lol. sorry about that.

[astormwarning1]

Sorry about the double post! The first 4 times I tried, I got an error message saying it didn't go through.

My dad was a Marine on Iwo Jima and experienced things no person should have to. He never talked about it until near the end of his life, and his experience led him to the conclusion that, while sometimes we must go to war, it is not something we were drafted to do. This song came out when he died, and it holds great meaning to me. Both the music and video are haunting, and to this day I cannot listed unmoved.

soldierblue72: No one

[soldierblue72]

Great uncle fought dead in France;

Daddy flew in Boeing cans;

Uncle walked the Normandy shore;

Sent their sons to the jungle war;

Grandsons hold the desert sand;

Who's next to join the brothers' band?
