Brothers In Arms, Dire Straits, Part Of The BBC Black Listed Song's List.

in #music6 years ago (edited)

Written originally at the time of the falkland islands war in 1982, it was not released until 1985 and again as a special edition to mark its 25th anniversary to raise funds for veterans suffering from post traumatic stress disorder in 2007.
The song brothers in arms by dire straits, was one of many songs put on the black list as inappropriate for air play by the bbc, during the the first gulf war.

The lyrics are self explanatory as depicted in the last verse.

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

Embellished perfectly with the music from start to finish from the haunting keyboard intro followed by beautiful rustic first three notes of the les paul sustaining guitar to the solo and outro, if this song does not stir emotions inside you? nothing will!
Yes i am a big mark knopfler fan especially his guitar style so i am biased! and i have most of his and their albums to, enjoy! :)
