Dire Straits: “Brother in arms”

Sometimes there is a piece of music that you want to listen, just after watching the news, specially the ones depicting injustice, unfair treatment of human beings, or the like. Or even when you feel depressed, not in control, or even when you’re in a love relationships not going anywhere. You are sad and you want to remain that way because you know that there is nothing to get you out of that state. In my case I listen to songs like “Brother in arms” of Dire Straits. My preferred is a this interpretation by Mark Knopfler by himself with the classic band. It is my favorite.



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 arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though we were hurt 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 on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
