My dad fought in WW2 and had a Gurkha friend. A stick grenade exploded and wounded my dad in the arm. When he looked around his friend had taken the full blast and was killed. My dad hardly ever spoke of the horrors he experienced but said that he was shielded by his friend and would probably be dead. He lost a lot of mates during that time but he never got over the loss of his Gurkha friend and said he was the kindest, bravest man he ever met. My dad never hated the Germans and thought it was sad that politicians always start wars but are rarely affected by them on both sides. This song always hits me right in the guts every time. ✌️❤️🇬🇧

Saw Mark Knopfler once in Oberhausen. Due to a back injury he sat on a bar chair. I guess there were about 10-15.000 people there, but sometimes the venue was so silent, you could hear a needle drop and it felt like he played in your living room. Absolute legend. Only man on the planet who has a goosebump-voice and plays goosebump-guitar...Greetings from the "Ruhrgebiet"

Simon Bates told the Story to the listening audience, with his usual heart felt description, then he introduced this song that the Woman had chosen as 'Our Tune'........It simply had me in pieces listening to it. I hope today that this Woman and her Children are much happier.

I asked my family to please play this song at my funeral. The eternal human dilemma. Those closest to each other fight the most. Europeans are, factually, genetically, culturally, in terms of everything, a variation of a theme, and we have been in war, killing each other, for at least 2000 years, and it still is going on right now. WHY the F..in HELL? And Sarah -- a) thanks for sharing your emotions. It helped me a lot with crystalizing an African female protagonist in a Novel I am working on. AND: I struggled for a moment with your accent. First thought: something South Georgia (US). Second thought: no way... she is the real thing. Ghana perhaps? But no. Then I got it: Nigeria! Fun fact: When I studied in Hawai'i, I had a Sri Lankan roommate. His accent was somewhat similar ;-). Oh -- and just for clarification: the African novel character I referred to is a refugee who made it to Europe all by herself, after incredible heartship, at age 16. She worked and studied really hard, became an engineer, got her Ph.D. and at the current stage in the novel is head of a maritime engineering research lab. So far in my writing she lacked emotional depth 🙂

This is why Mark is in my view one of the best guitarists in the world. He can make a guitar weep. And his playing style is so recognisable. For another moving war song, have a listen to James Blunt's "No Bravery". James served in the British Army during the war in Kosovo in the 90s with the UN peacekeepers and he wrote this song about what he saw while over there.
