This afternoon I bring you a serious song, titled "Brothers In Arms" performed at the Royal Albert Hall in 2019

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 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 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

Writer(s): Knopfler Mark

This song was inspired by the Falklands War between Argentina and the UK in 1982. Mark Knopfler wrote the song when the war was still raging.

In my view it has connotations for all Brothers In Arms in whatever Country, whatever military, fighting for his or her country...

I hope you each enjoy it...
Kerry
