Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms (REACTION) with my wife

[@NoraDrenalin385]

Tears will not make you appear soft, they make you authentic. Do not change that! There would be way less conflict in this world, if more people were like you. You two are amazing together. ♥️

[@jwickham65]

There's a line in a Gary Jules song, "They never tell you, 'There's strength in vulnerability', They only tell you Not to cry"

[@GutPyle]

I'm a 66 year old man. I've been listening to this song since it was released, and I get weepy every time. Don't apologize for feeling something. 👍

Same here my Friend. I am 65 in May and the one thing that is so important about this is that The Sun always shines in The End 🙏

55 years grown man here, same fellings every time i hear that song.

[@KenCyrus-tb3nh]

I too get teary eyed every time I hear it.

[@garyfallows1123]

This was written in 1982 at the time of the Falklands War between Britain and Argentina, the backstory is of a soldier dying on the battlefield, he is thinking about his life, his comrades around him and won't leave him, it has become a sort of unofficial anthem for servicemen in that you never leave anyone behind, you bring your brother home, the song highlights how senseless and wasteful war is, a huge thank you to all men and women for their service, deepest sympathy to those who have lost someone ❤

[@Boo.....]

Absolutely. 💯

[@fifi23o5]

For me this is an ultimate anti-war song. I consider myself as one of the oldest Dire Straits fans. Since 1980, when I heard Sultans of Swing for the first time and I didn't even know who they were, it took me almost half a year to figure that out. And they are still one of the greatest bands ever. The rest is history.

[@professorplums722]

​@@fifi23o5Same story here....Sultans of Swing blew my mind when it came out....still does. This song is something very special.

NATO as a US tool has used brothers against brothers again. The song was written about Nicaragua but the same methods are employed by the US, bloody coup, arming fascist thugs in Ukraine and make them kill their brothers and neighbours.

That was going to be my comment as well. Can humans get beyond war, or will we keep on until destruction.

[@tompickles9798]

First the goosebumps then the tears lol One of my favourite tracks of all time MARK actually makes the guitar cry. Music is supposed to move you in some way. IMO a masterpiece

[@shaunbyrne9037]

You have now discovered the two guitar players who can delve deep into your soul and emotions like nobody else ... Mark Knopfler and David Gilmour . The next Dire Straits track has to be Telegraph Road Live from the Alchemy Tour . Its remarkable .

[@stangreen3853]

When a song is so breathtakingly beautiful there are no words in your soul to describe it.

[@ugadawgs1990]

This song was written after the capture of the outer Falkland Islands, including the Isle of Goats, where SAS soldiers surprised a group of Argentine army fighters. It was a violent battle, where many men were sent to their eternal glory. This song is in tribute to them, including Lt. Green and Sgt Batchelor. RIP.

I'll let you in on a secret. This song makes me cry every time I hear it. And I've broken horses, bathed with gators, jumped from planes and swam in oceans. I played and coached American style football and wrestling, I've tracked down fugitives, climbed mountains, etc. I don't think of myself as soft because this song gets to me. You're not soft.

Don't worry about shedding a tear or two. I've probably heard that song a thousand times yet squeeze a tear out anyways every time I listen to it.

[@Orbitalmercury]

Dire Straits is one of the few bands that can really play with your emotions either happy or sad. It doesn't matter because they pour their soul in to their music and narrating/ singing, he's really a story teller and the guitar is the emotions. It's good to see it makes us cry because it's a sign it's a masterpiece and also that we're all human.

There is no excuse.

masterpiece

[@vinograd74]

Crying is a good marker to determine a great work of Art. I also cry a lot when encountering something that "speaks" directly to me. We usually have barriers with which we protect our "thin" soul strings. But when we eet with a masterpiece we take those barriers away and let ourselves loose some water.

Softness, kindness and empathy is not weakness my friend. It is the strongest thing in the world. It enables you to help people in the worst possible situations and spread happiness in the world. So please, don't be ashamed of your emotions. Makes you more human then most. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

This does reach into your soul. It makes me cry every time. The word you're looking for is a "Plectrum" :) But we need to listen to the message and stop waging war on each other. The guitar is meant to be a soldier dying on the battlefield in my opinion.

[@ariadnepyanfar1048]

The best music in the world. It moves you to tears, or to goosebumps, or to euphoria like Beethoven’s 9th. Just sitting and paying attention, as you must in a reaction, it allows the music and lyrics to have their full effect. We have all been made to cry by music.

[@neilshayler3119]

When music hits you when you're left speechless enjoy it because it's rare. Mark Knopfler plays in a way that hits the core to your nervous system. Dire straits still give me goose bumps 40 years on.

[@spiffymick7073]

Music like this removes the blocks we have created covering our hearts and puts us in pure connection with ourselves. This is part of where the tears come from. It's the same result as meditation. Love your reactions, as always. Do yourself a favour and listen to the album version without the official video it's about 2 minutes longer and has so much more delicious guitar.

What emotions the lyrics don'tell is explained by the guitar. Simply awesome. I have been at war and since I came home - that was back in 1977 - and years after it I heard this song for the first time, it was the same feeling which I had after recovering from PTSD. Knopfler talks about the real thing with his lyrics and his guitar-playing which raised the same emotions in me about war!

Hi Andrei, nothing wrong with songs who can touch you. In the past I listen thousand times to this song. So good. About soldiers and stupid war I listen also to ‘Christmas True’ of Sabaton, with Floor Jansen at the end ( I thought you already react on this song). But some leaders in the world don’t listen to this music, they like to ‘play’ with young soldiers. Poor boys.

[@grahamtucker3340]

Love this reaction! Some won't understand - but some people just listen to music, some really like music but some people really FEEL the music and Andrei is one of those people.

Those who truly feel music make the best musicians. 🤘🤘🤘

Knopfler is amazing. For me, he is in the same league as David Gilmour - although they play different guitars with different styles, they both can touch your deepest emotions with just a couple of notes. This song always makes me cry (you're not alone in weeping to the music, Andrei!) I have long wished that Knopfler and Gilmour would team up - can you imagine them on stage together, riffing off each other? I'd pay a lot and travel far to see that. Love your reactions, keep them coming!

[@jjc5407]

It's a great shame that the only time I'm aware of where the two have been seen playing together is in a comedy sketch, funny though that sketch is. Apparently Mark even used Dave's rig during it. It's on KZbin. Just search for Knopfler Gilmour Sketch.
