Brothers in Arms

[dustoff22]

In another thread, the question was asked as to who your favorite guitarist is. My answer was and is Mark Knopfler for many reasons but this one song gets me every time. We're familiar with the term "brothers in arms" but this song hits home for me.

Love Mark Knopfler. Probably my favorite musician of all time. I have played this song while getting ready for work every day for the last two months. I can't wait to see him in Connecticut in August! Thanks for sharing.

The Lyrics: 'Brothers in Arms' written by Mark Knopher

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 arm

Through these fields of destruction

Baptism of fire

I've watched all 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

 

[Blackmore]
