I am a US Marine veteran of the Cold War. I just visited Washington D.C. on an Honor Flight with other veterans. At Arlington National Cemetery, from my view atop a hill, a virtual sea of white head stones. Over 400,000 of them, for as far as the eye can see. And the cemetery is being expanded to accommodate even more. It is difficult to wrap one's mind around the amount of sacrifice and suffering our soldiers have experienced so that we can have the country we have today. This song just reinforces what I felt atop that hill, looking down upon my brothers in arms.

Mark and David Knopfler were born in Glasgow, Scotland, but their family moved to Newcastle upon Tyne in North East England when they were young children, and that is where Mark was raised. When i was a taxi driver in Newcastle many years ago, i had the honour of having Marks famous uncle Kingsley in my car, he was the man who inspired Mark to take up music, i witnessed an amazing humble man, filled with so much pride at the mention of his nephew Mark. This will stay in my memory for ever.

This song was written about the Falklands War and the soldier shot is believed to be Lieutenant Lawrence shot by an Argentinian Sniper on a mist covered Mt Tumbledown as the Argentinians were retreating to Port Stanley...he was shot in the head and lost a large part of his brain...his fellow soldiers saved his life as he was pronounced KIA twice but managed to survive...the Brothers in Arms are not just about your fellow soldiers, its also about the soldiers they were fighting as being Brothers in Arms as the British had a great deal of respect for the opposing forces as a lot of them were conscripts, plus the Argentinian Air Force who were incredibly brave during the conflict, however although the British were out numbered 10 to 1 and the Argentinians embedded in positions , a lot were conscripts and lacked the training to fight a war against professional soldiers ...❤

[@Jon.Cullen]

I was at school with Lt Lawrence - he was absolutely army barmy while in the cadets.

[@glastonbury4304]

@Jon.Cullen ...oh wow...I remember seeing an interview with Mark and him talking about Lt Lawrence and a friend he knew that was in the Falklands War, just can't remember if it was the same person....I always remember when people react to this song they think it's just brothers in arms of your sides comrades, it isn't, it's about the enemy also being their brothers in arms and how each is from a different world but are sent to fight a politicians war so to speak...but they have respect for each other as no soldier wants to go to war and kill a fellow human being or get killed, but will fight for their country and their world....lions led by donkeys ...the donkeys being the politicians...

This has always been my favorite Dire Straits song and relatable since I am a retired military veteran with 27 years service and Operation Enduring Freedom Veteran. That aside, I have another great Dire Straits song requests that was just hitting the charts about this time of year in early 1981 which was the same year that MTV first broadcast. I first heard this song while I was in Basic Military Training at Ft. McClellan Alabama. When I hear it now, it takes me back to those old Army days. It's called, "Skateaway". It's about a female skating around the big city listening to rock music on her portable radio with headphones on torturing taxi drivers as the song says, and drawing attention to herself. It was a common and popular thing in those days for girls to skate the streets of towns and cities. Most guys, like me, was skateboarding like many still do. I chose this video because it's so damn good and fun. The nostalgia is so epic. This version shows scenes of female skaters back in the day doing their thing in the streets. Tube socks and all. Female Roller Derby was popular in those days too and I heard that some skaters in this vid may have been Roller Derby Girls, but IDK. You both will love this song if you like looking back at how things used to be that related to the songs of the day.

My sister bought this album for me when I was 12 years old. It became part of my life. To produce an album with not only this masterpiece but also Money For Nothing is just incredible.

[@alexj7934]

Mark is from Northumberland via Scotland. His father is Hungarian, having fled his native land following the Soviet repulsion of the anti-Russian uprising in October 1956. His mother is native to Scotland. Dire Straits literally took the bands name from their shortness of monetary assets when arriving in London seeking fame and fortune and asked by a local DJ, what name was the name the band was known by. Their first single hit was Sultans of Swing, written by Mark. And the rest is history!

[@franckb8279]

Masterpiece. I cry every time I listen to it. Mark has such an unique guitar touch and tone. This song never aged and is still relevant today (hélas). Try Telegraph road live 83 (Alchemy) The studio version is longer and contains an storm intro.

[@gregor-the-bug]

There's so much to discover from Dire Straits. You've embarked on an entire album and you might think about reacting to the entire Alchemy Live concert. Pure musical brilliance from beginning to end.

[@garyarnett1220]

[@rodbrown8934]

The original line up of DS was Mark Knopfler, his brother David ( he left the band in 1980 during the recording of Making Movies and repaced with Hal Lindes) John Illsley on Bass and Pick Withers ( real name David but that would've been two Davids) who left after the 4th Album. BIA album saw Terry Williams on drums.

[@oldmankell]

Thank you for showing us your hearts and souls.

[@PianoDentist]

Knopfler liked to high gain his amp, so when he played delicately there was still a lot of drive and plenty of headroom for dynamics, so with a bit of compression to help, those little touches still cut through and along with those swells, made the guitar sing. Takes someone with his touch to tame a sound like that.

When a guitar sang and cried at the same time for a lament about a friend killed in the Falklands War. The part that gets to me, for easons that don't matter here, is this: "You did not desert me My brothers in arms" The words on their own are sheer poetry: These mist covered mountains Are a home now for me But my home is the lowlands And always will be Someday 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 battle raged high 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 in your palm We're fools to make war On our brothers in arms

Mark absolutely loves Irish folk music, and you can hear it in his later solo work especially. I always new him as a Geordie, which is to say from the Northumberland/Newcastle area (I think someone below has a much more precise record of where he grew up). But he'd be deeply flattered to be mistaken for Irish-born based on the melodic lines of his guitar. To me, the Uilleann pipes are a classic Irish instrument that is also known in Scottish music (you hear it front & centre on the Braveheart soundtrack). I feel like that's an instrument Mark listened to a lot of as he developed this thicker, more overdriven guitar tone and the kinds of lines he plays with it.

[@johnbisset1320]

He was born in Glasgow

[@fredericknalaremah939]

One of the most poignant and beautiful while haunting songs ever written. The track is best listened to live 'On the Night' or the 'Nelson Mandela' live gig with Eric Clapton backing on Rhythm guitar. While watching the 'On the Night' live performance take in the 'Private Investigations' and 'Romeo and Juliet' tracks. Also must review' 'Telegraph Road' and 'Tunnel of Love' from the Alchemy live performance. So much and all brilliant.

Good afternoon, dear friends. This song “Brothers in arms” is dedicated to the Falkland Islands war between Argentina and England between May and June 1982. These brothers in arms are Argentinians and British killing each other for interests beyond their own. A sad song about something that should not happen, but there are always “reasons”, usually economic or political or strategic that are thought to be superior to human life. Best regards

[@ursanator]

Another thing about war that most people do not know is the actor that played Scotty on TV's Star Trek was in Canadian military with Artillery and was shot and injuried on Juneau Beach on D-Day during War World 1
