Melodies I Like to Play: "Brothers in Arms"

Latest Polls (view all)

Under the cover of Covid, and now in the shadow of the infamous Election Irregularities of that fated 2020 presidential election, with current emerging alleged election fraud in Nevada and Pennsylvania inconveniently slipping into the public discourse, there is proved a colluded ongoing Election Interference in the nomination of the Republican candidate, the likes of which has never occurred in our Constitutional Republic's history, albeit, the question remains: Do you support the plain-sight Election Interference of the Democratic Socialist party, employing its minions in their Propagandistic Media, and their Two Tiered Justice System?

98.82% No, I do not support Election Interference; I am a patriot unto our Constitution.

1.18% Yes, I do support Election Interference; the alternative, Donald Trump, to this mentally diminished president is far worse.

0% "What, me worry" if elections are rigged?

I found this rendition of organized chords and lyrics that not only works for my playing style, but gives the song a better chance of having the more rounded tones of the original, without the lead, which is all Knopfler's lead instrument; supported by his outstanding cast of musicians, with Composer Knopfler playing tonal passages to effect the perfect emphasis of mood; as important as the lyrics in this masterful melody. This version helps me, just one "poor player", to fill in the gaps a bit more. I don't play the lead scales like the great Mark Knopfler, but one day, who knows ... well, probably not.

Brothers in Arms

composed by Mark Knopfler with lyrics by Mark Knopfler in 1982; performed by Dire Straits in 1985

I have an unorganized list of the perfect songs. "Brothers in Arms" is on that short list growing slower longer.

Wonderful melody, both simple and complex in layers. I prefer the more difficult version to play because in renders out a greater upswing in mood at critical points of this song that has is more of a down tone at its core melody.

When I first heard "Brothers in Arms" in the '80s I was a soldier. For me it was powerful then - and it still is today. I think it's a masterpiece on several different levels.
