Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms (Live in France, 1992) [REACTION VIDEO] | Rebeka Luize Budlevska

[@johnrichards2640]

Story of a dying solider. Beautiful and heartbreaking

Agreed. A rare and special talent.

Mejor cancion de todos los tiempos

[@xxFORDIExx]

One of the greatest songs ever put to tape. Incredible once again from Mark Knopfler and band. The guitar always cries in Knopfler's hands.

[@marlew6629]

Well said.

[@deanj846]

So true...

[@jayblackwood3736]

I'm always moved to tears by this song. The whole album is a masterpiece. It's a wonderful emotional journey.

[@Orbitalmercury]

Hi guitar virtually does the crying and singing itself the way he plays it. You could just have an instrumental version of this and it would still bring tears to my eyes.

[@lokxxxv]

Hard!🖤💙🖤

[@vincentpearcejustsimplycla2322]

War in my opinion is only to maintain the status Quo of the rich and the power establishments . The soldiers are the people who pay the ultimate price. Respect.

[@danielholden-storey5107]

Respect for not interrupting this song and for your honest and inciteful reaction - awesome.

[@markwilken2492]

Knopfler does more with his guitar melodies than most people do with their vocal melodies. Absolutely sublime

[@davidfeltz8697]

Yep

[@risktaker53]

If this song doesn't touch your soul...you don't have one!

[@davidfeltz8697]

Uggghhh! So deep it makes me weep!

[@andrespenagarcia7246]

Mark knopfler is great talent, great musican and fantástic ...FANTÁSTIC !!!! GUITARIST❤

[@PhilippeCORDELIER]

I was lucky enough to attend this gig, as well as most of DS shows when they played in France. Still a vivid souvenir, as well as MK's venues during his solo career. Always the same emotion. Particular mention to the latest show I could share with my daughters in the Nîmes' roman arena, when Mark and his band played a majority of DS songs. This artist is a gem in the world's musical legacy !

[@rovcanada1]

I joined the British Army as soon as I was old enough to after the Falklands Conflict. I later went on to complete 6 tours in active conflict zones, and this song really touches my heart strings. RIP fallen comrades, both friend or foe.

[@thinhamautechtrinh1207]

“ RIP fallen comrades , both friend or foe “ hit me deep 😢 …..!!!

[@joshtee936]

I think this song tugs on every Soldiers emotions as it does mine. I wasn't old enough for the Falklands but I lost mates in Iraq and Afghan and this song speaks true.

Hearing it from you makes it more heartfelt, and I appreciate that! Cheers, fella!!

[@markwilken2492]

Thanks for everything you and your mates did

[@chrisengland3965]

if this song is called boring by anyone, then that person just doesn't understand what a modern-day classic this song is, from the very first note the last, it is simply sublime, and showcases how less can sometimes be more, Mark Knopfler makes a guitar literally sing like no other can, it's close to 40 years old now and it still moves me everytime I hear it, thanks for your reaction vid Rebeka

[@TheNotedHero]

This is one of the few Dire Straits songs that I think the studio recording is the best version. Worth checking it out with the original music video.

[@aldoayhoniz190]

A true masterpiece. Amazing instrumentation and the lyrics are really meaningful and painful.

[@johnfallon3525]

Knopfler's perspective is: The song is King. Lyrics, melody, instrument choice, arrangement, solo, and vocal delivery are all part of that policy. Mark always delivers for those who love music

[@robk5159]

It was my understanding (having read several of Mark's interviews) that he wrote this not only for the British troops killed in the Falkland Islands war in 1982 but also the futility of war anywhere. However it must also be said that Britain was given no option but to fight as Argentina attacked against the wishes of the Islanders.

[@AnneDowson-vp8lg]

I'm glad you mentioned the Islanders. Their experience tends to get lost amongst all the destruction. They had been living there for 200 years. I remember the Falklands conflict. The son of one of my work colleagues was a Chief Petty Officer on board the British ship The Antelope when it was hit by an Exocet missile. A man waiting outside his office door to speak to him, was killed, but Robert was not in his office, and escaped. The person who said we must find a better way of resolving national disputes is right. But we can't even seem to resolve conflict locally or personally. But we must hold onto hope. Praying if you believe, helps with that, and so does good music, like this song. God bless Mark Knopfler.

[@westernsmt]

Here's a man , not only singing , but speaking to you personally at the same time.. Mark's talent is endless. Lycarily brilliant, draws you in .

[@martinstubbs7974]

The greatest anti war song ever written. An absolute masterpiece. Thank you beautiful lady.

[@martinstubbs7974]

[@charleslangrishl9124]

I can think of a good bundle that would fall into that category brother, but this i would agree is in there. I sometimes feel that I want to use platitudes to describe my experience. But I desist. People are just put off by this approach. Express your opinions, man. But don't shut the door!

[@brianhancock5592]

Yep I agree another one...buffy st Marie...the universal soldier..or Eric bogle ..the green fields of France..

[@frankb3551]

There is the case of a British soldier during the Falklands war against the Argentinians in 1982, which this song is about, and the soldier approached a dying Argentinian soldier and he was shocked and surprised when the soldier said to him in perfect English: "I was never your enemy" and died. That British soldier left the Army and never fought again, he just couldn't do it any more when even his enemy was a human being like him.

[@jimp4666]

Knopfler's guitar work to me is never too much lead, never too much extravagance, but plenty of patience and an abundance of well-timed skill and artistry. Always a great listen, and I so love and appreciate your review and recognition of this.

[@davidfeltz8697]

Well said. He still blows me away.

[@Jompani42]

This is one of those songs... If I know it's coming I can deal with it, but if it starts playing out of the blue... 😭 It was played twice- the original and an instrumental version- on my brothers funeral 10 years ago. Last year I was listening to the "yearly playlist" on spotify while working. I hadn't checked out the songs, just played it. And this one came on, and I started crying my eyes out, with no way of getting away from my work station. A really gem of a song from their library of artworks.

[@eyeq7730]

I'm the same as yourself. We played this at my father's funeral because it reminded us of one of our holidays where my dad bought the album before we left and it was played every day of the holiday!

[@willfromyadkinville]

great song from a great album! i still have a copy!

[@jezfield8547]

What a piece of music, and being a Geordie lad, it makes it extra special, thanks Rebeka

[@highwatercircutrider]

As a Former U.S. Army Sgt. 1970-1976 all war today seems pointless, but I will never forget or speak ill of my brothers in arms.

[@Astro78196]

Best song ever!! Never get tired of listening to it

[@KennethSavage-nn2vv]

Saw them live, this particular song was mystical

[@fredriksandegren1948]

About a dying british soldier during the Falkland war... Amazing, listen to the lyrics, it just so good... I don't know if anybody has written anything better from a perspective from a dying soldier!

[@djs3484]

I get a lump in my throat every time I hear this masterpiece, absolutely incredible how powerful and real the emotions and lyrics are when listening to this. I'm an American who was in the US Navy and know it was written for the Brits in the Falklands war but it applies to me and many who no longer are here on my ship and every other service member knows exactly what I'm saying who experienced a loss of a buddy.

[@siriosstar4789]

I barely remember back in the sixties when the audience was silent because they were actually listening to the music. We sat quietly in order to become more absorbed in the music and allow the musicians to create more subtle passages that could not be heard if everyone was screaming like banshees. this song especially deserves some silence

[@brass427]

Absolutely. It's a matter of respect.

[@robertmartyr9432]

A true masterpiece they are up there with Pink Floyd

[@hannibal2208]

The most emotional performance of this song, that I know of, is from the Nelson Mandela Birthday Tribute concert. Just so powerful and fagile at the same time.

[@kjellejohansson4000]

first i will say you are so beautyful i love your reaction videos and dire straits is top of the notch.

[@oboogie2]

This is probably my favorite Dire Straits songs, and one of my favorite songs period. As a combat veteran, this always hits me hard, and if I took any lesson from my experiences it is this: there has got to be a better way of solving our differences. Thank you for reacting to this song.

[@jeraldkimball494]

Just beautiful is all I can say.

[@CaffeineNightOwl]

a true masterpiece. so emotional and beautiful.

[@33neptun]

My sincere greets to all fans of amazing Dire Straits. I had a luck to see them alive, only once, but it was definitely the best concert i ever saw in my life. Nobody beat them to this day. And i saw many many others...But Dire Straits in one and only. Btw, in my humble opinion, the greatest version of this masterpiece is from "On the night" concert, Live in London. What a keyboard parts of Alan Clark.......My God...Tide of melancholy and beauty...Makes me melting and cry every time. If you love Dire Straits, than you have very sophisticated taste and you know very well what real music is. Greets from one sad, broken and lonely war veteran from CROATIA. Love you all ..💓💔💔💕💓❤💔.

[@Bluestu100]

Great reaction Rebeka as usual. The song is deep and emotional. As a former soldier I can honestly say I would never fight a pointless war again. Keep up the fantastic reactions.

Dear Rebeka Luize, thank you for your so sincere reaction, as always is. Yes, this heartfelt song is still, unfortunately, so actual. Knowing the horrors that we are living here in Europe, Mark could have written almost a year ago. Indeed we need peace, understanding, dialogue, respect. Again, thank you.

You see, Becks? This is why I always told you to react to this. It's 100% a true MASTERPIECE. Knopfler is a true Strings God.

[@wolf762x51]

He's A great artist, and Rebeka, that evidence was seen clearly shown in your face when listening to it. It was easy to see the pain that you felt from the song. I think this song speaks to all of us, about our family and friends that served, fought , died, lost friends, their brothers in arms. I wish peace for everyone, everywhere.

[@markbrooks8144]

Yesss! More Dire Straits Please. And then there is Mark Knopfler's massive and equally impressive solo back catalogue. Next suggestion..... Dire Straits - "Private Investigations" maybe? Mark Knopfler is arguably one of the great singer/songwriter/orchestrator/guitarists ever.

[@chrislegner4816]

Wonderful selection. This album was known for the radio hits of course, but the album cuts like this one made it special. Your Dad has great taste!

[@ssvr3dl1n38]

I remember when this song came out as the title track to the album. It was so popular back then but this song as the title track didn't get the kudos it deserved with listeners in my opinion, it was more about Money For Nothin and Walk of Life. The guitar work is pure artistry in this to the point of haunting. Thanks for your reaction to a brilliant song 🙏

[@alfredh3071]

This song really hits hard for those of us who’ve lost family, friends or teammates. It’s melancholy gives the feeling that someone knows what you’re going through and that you’re not alone. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, it helps me to feel closer to you. ❤

Not many people walked on this planet and could cope with Mark Knopflers guitar skill. The last one was "Lucille" in the hands of the late great BB King who could get those notes out of a guitar and let the instrument sing ! Enjoy this young lady you watching a living legend. At the Nelson Mandela concert at Wembley in 1988 a dude named Eric Clapton played the Rhythm guitar for Knopfer on this song.

Rebeka, the official video to this amazing, beautiful song is also something very special because the graphics which accompany the music are really inspirational. I hope you get round to checking it out at some point. Nothing quite beats a top level live performance such as this one, but the official video comes pretty close.

Hi thanks for reacting to my fav. artist of all time.. Love all your reactions. In terms of instruments and musicianship I think you'll also really love Calling Elvis and Private Investigations from DIRE STRAITS Live ON THE NIGHT 1993. There are a few little surprises in the first one that's just amazing to watch including a lengthy solo but not only from Mark. Cheers All the best. Also my mum wants to know if you're Polish, mum's polish and you're last name sounds Polish. With love from Australia🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@Pomdownuder]

"Hope it won't get boring?" You really don't know Dire Straits at all. One of the greatest UK rock bands certainly one of the greatest love performance bands of our time,with arguably the best song writer in recent years and the best blues , rock finger picking guitarist of our era.

[@claudiodiana784]

canzone stupenda ❤

[@joseandoain9418]

En la gira de 1992, su última gira ya no tenían la fuerza, la energía , ni la magia. Se nota perfectamente en un Brothers in arms sin energía, lento, sin vida. Hiceron la gira por dinero, falta sentimiento y faltaba el batería Terry Williams, y no hacía falta poner un pedal steel guitar. Dire Straits perdieron su sonido rockero y ya sonaban más a Knopfler en solitario. Decepcionante Brothes in arms. Gracias por tu reacción.

[@davidfeltz8697]

Such a phenomenal live band!

[@franktyson2275]

Having seen them 4 times live I can honestly say that along with Pink Floyd, and ACDC the one of the very best playing I've ever experienced...true musicians all and Mark's unique plectrum-free finger style is fantastic! ... try Emelda Baby! ... another great track.

[@theobelauthe7433]

It's nice to see that young people are interested in the music of Dire Straits and to realize the talent of Mark Knopfler, who is too little known in my opinion. For my part, I am convinced that he is the greatest rock guitarist of the 20th century. In the 18th century Mozart was the greatest of classical music. In the 20th century Mark Knopfler is the greatest guitarist of all time and certainly one of the greatest blues rock composer of his generation.

[@fifi23o5]

Mark Knopfler. Where to begin? Amazing and one of the most unique and recognisable guitarist in the world and beyond, incredible composer, maybe even better lyricist. We should all listen to this song, I mean, really listen to, and understand what he said. The world would be a better place.
