THIS is a most beautiful song.

This music - this band - this song - are simply awesome!
The lyrics:
Brothers In Arms
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
But it's written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
~~~
Enjoy!!

A great band indeed. Another recent CD you may want to look at is David Gilmour "On An Island". You'll know him from Pink Floyd fame. "Island" came out in 2006.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteI will take a look at that 'On An Island.'
Ah,Junie -- i love that Brothers in Arms CD -- So Far Away -- Money for Nothing -- Walk of Life -- that was such a great album -- Money for Nothing is a very cool video also.....some good stuff from the 80s!!!
ReplyDeleteYour girls -- very cute pictures!
i was listening to some old stuff -- probably stuff i included on one of those CDs i sent last -- The Wedding Song (There is Love) -- Daddy Don't you Walk so Fast (Wayne Newton) -- Anne Murray's stuff -- was in some kind of flashback kind of mood -- remembering other times......so much good stuff out there!!!
love ya!
Hi Bonnie,
ReplyDeletelol- well, I am only just discovering Dire Straits! And I did see those other songs that you mentioned too. (the Youtubes)
They- and RUSH- are my favorites at this time! Oh! And Pink Floyd, too!
Thanks for sending me all that music! I have enjoyed it a lot.
Another rainy day here!
Take care,
Love,
Junie
