Brothers in Arms
Reseña
El quinto álbum de la banda británica Dire Straits lleva por título "Brothers in Arms" y fue lanzado el 13 de mayo de 1985 por los sellos Vertigo y Warner Music. Contó con la producción de Mark Knopfler y del ingeniero de sonido y productor estadounidense Neil Dorfsman, quien también ha trabajado con Paul McCartney y con Sting, entre otros y que ya había trabajado en el álbum en solitario de Knopfler para la banda sonora de la película "Local Hero", en 1983.
"Brothers in Arms" alcanzó el primer puesto en las listas de éxito de medio mundo, incluyendo Reino Unido y Estados Unidos, convirtiéndose en uno de los discos más vendidos en Reino Unido. El álbum vendió más de 30 millones de copias en todo el mundo y consiguió dos premios Grammy en 1986. También obtuvo el reconocimiento en su país con el premio Brit al Mejor álbum británico.
Grabado entre noviembre de 1984 y marzo de 1985 en los estudios AIR en la caribeña isla de Montserrat, fue uno de los primeros álbumes en grabarse de forma digital, con el objetivo confesado por Knopfler de conseguir el mejor sonido posible que pudiera permitir la tecnología del momento.
Las canciones fueron escritas por el propio guitarrista y líder de la banda y para las sesiones de grabación se incluyó a Guy Fletcher en los sintetizadores. El baterista Terry Williams fue reemplazado temporalmente por Omar Hakim sólo para las grabaciones, consiguiendo un sonido más cercano a lo que deseaban Knopfler y Dorfsman.
El primer sencillo del álbum fue "So Far Away", lanzado el 8 de abril de 1985, que se aupó en la vigésima posición de las listas británicas de singles. El Europa, este sencillo presentaba en su lado B el tema "Walk of Life", que en Estados Unidos salió como sencillo, con gran repercusión.
"Money for Nothing" es el segundo sencillo del álbum "Brothers in Arms" y fue el sencillo de mayor éxito de Dire Straits, tanto en Europa como en Estados Unidos, en parte por el enorme atractivo del novedoso vídeo que acompañaba al tema. Al otro lado del Atlántico, "Money for Nothing" se mantuvo durante varias semanas en el número uno de la lista Billboard. El tema ganó el Premio Grammy como Mejor Interpretación de Rock de un Dúo o Grupo y el vídeo ganó el premio al Vídeo del año en los MTV Video Music Awards.
"Money for Nothing" fue compuesto conjuntamente por Mark Kopfler y el ex vocalista de The Police, Sting, quien además aparece haciendo los coros de fondo. Knopfler confesó en alguna ocasión haberse inspirada para la canción durante una visita a una tienda de electrodomésticos y electrónica. El vídeo, innovador en la época, fue uno de los primeros en añadir animaciones por ordenador.
"Brothers in Arms" (Hermanos de Armas), el tema que da título al álbum, es también el que cierra la lista de canciones de este trabajo de Dire Straits. Fue compuesto por Knopfler en 1982, durante la Guerra de las Malvinas. En el vídeo musical se puede ver a Dire Straits tocando con tomas de fondo de la Primera Guerra Mundial, con imágenes en blanco y negro. Este vídeo ganó el premio Grammy al Mejor Vídeo Musical en 1987. El lado B del sencillo incluía el tema "Going Home", el tema principal de la película "Local Hero".
"Walk of Life" fue lanzado como sencillo en 1985, aunque anteriormente ya había sido publicado como lado B de "So Far Away". Compuesto por Mark Knopfler, alcanzó el puesto número siete en las listas de Estados Unidos. El tema estuvo a punto de no incluirse en el álbum, ya que el co productor Neil Dorfsman estaba en contra de añadirlo al álbum. Finalmente se impuso el criterio de la banda y se añadió como tercera pista del disco. El vídeo muestra a un músico callejero que nos recuerda al propio Knopfler, tocando sobre un escenario acompañado de una banda.

[X]letra de So Far Away
Here I am again in this mean old town
And you're so far away from me
And where are you when the sun goes down
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
You're so far I just can't see
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
I'm tired of being in love and being all alone
When you're so far away from me
I'm tired of making out on the telephone
'Cause you're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
You're so far I just can't see
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
And I get so tired when I have to explain
When you're so far away from me
See, you been in the sun and I've been in the rain
And you're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
You're so far I just can't see
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
Oh, you're so far away from me
Yeah, you're so far away from me
So far away from me
Yeah, you're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
So far away from me
So far away from me
Yeah, you're so far away from me
Yes, you're so far away from me - Money For NothingVer letra
[X]letra de Money For Nothing
(I want my MTV)
Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it

That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free.
Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb.
We gotta install microwave ovens custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators we gotta move these color T.V.'s.
The little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot, he's a millionaire
We gotta install microwave ovens custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators we gotta move these color T.V.'s.
I shoulda learned to play the guitar
I shoulda learned to play them drums
Look at that mama she got it stickin' in the camera
Man we could have some fun
And he's up there, what's that? Hawaiian noises?
You bangin' on the bongos like a chimpanzee
Oh that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Get your money for nothin' get your chicks for free.
We gotta install microwave ovens custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators we gotta move these color T.V.'s.
Listen here

Money for nothin' and the chicks for free - Walk of LifeVer letra
[X]letra de Walk of Life
Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies
Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby What I Say
Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Oh Yeah the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning all the night time into the day
He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman
He do the song about the knife
He do the walk, he do the walk of life, yeah he do the walk of life
Here comes Johnny and he'll tell you the story
Hand me down my walkin' shoes
Here comes Johnny with the power and the glory
Backbeat the talkin' blues
He got the action, he got the motion
Oh Yeah the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning all the night time into the day
He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman
He do the song about the knife
He do the walk, he do the walk of life, yeah he do the walk of life
Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies
Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby What I Say
Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Oh Yeah the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning all the night time into the day
And after all the violence and double talk
There's just a song in all the trouble and the strife
You do the walk, you do the walk of life, yeah he do the walk of life - Your Latest TrickVer letra
[X]letra de Your Latest Trick
All the late night bargains have been struck
Between the satin beaus and their belles
Prehistoric garbage trucks
Have the city to themselves
Echoes roars dinosaurs
They're all doing the monster mash
And most of the taxis and most of the whores
Are only taking calls for cash
I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick
Well now, my door was standing open
Security was laid back and lax
But it was only my heart that got broken
You must have had a pass key made out of wax
You played robbery with insolence
And I played the blues in twelve bars down on Lover's Lane
And you never did have the intelligence to use
The twelve keys hanging off of my chain
I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick
Now it's past last call for alcohol
Past recall has been here and gone
The landlord, he finally paid us all
The satin jazzmen have put away their horns
And we're standing outside of this wonderland
Looking so bereaved and so bereft
Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands
The bottle's empty and there's nothing left
I don't know how it happened
It was faster than the eye could flick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick - Why WorryVer letra
[X]letra de Why Worry
Baby, I see this world has made you sad
Some people can be bad
The things they do, the things they say
But, baby, I'll wipe away those bitter tears
I'll chase away those restless fears
That turn your blue skies into grey
Why worry?
There should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now?
Why worry now?
Baby, when I get down I turn to you
And you make sense of what I do
I know it isn't hard to say
But, baby, just when this world seems mean and cold
Our love comes shining red and gold
And all the rest is by the way
Why worry?
There should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now?
Why worry now? - Ride Across The RiverVer letra
[X]letra de Ride Across The River
I'm a soldier of freedom in the army of man
We are the chosen, we're the partisan
The cause it is noble and the cause it is just
We are ready to pay with our lives if we must
Gonna ride across the river deep and wide
Ride across the river to the other side
I'm a soldier of fortune, I'm a dog of war
And we don't give a damn who the killing is for
It's the same old story with a different name
Death or glory, it's the killing game
Gonna ride across the river deep and wide
Ride across the river to the other side
Nothing gonna stop them as the day follows the night
Right becomes wrong, the left becomes the right
And they sing as they march with their flags unfurled
Today in the mountains, tomorrow the world
Gonna ride across the river deep and wide
Ride across the river to the other side - The Man's Too Strong
- One WorldVer letra
[X]letra de One World
Can't find no sleeves for my records
Can't get no laces for my shoes
Can't get no fancy notes
On my blue guitar
Can't get no antidote for blues
Can't find the reasons for your actions
Or I don't much like the reasoning you use
Somehow your motives are impure
Or somehow I can't find the cure
Can't find no antidote for blues
They say it's mostly vanity
That writes the plays we act
They tell me that's what everybody knows
There's no such thing as sanity
And that's the sanest fact
That's the way the story goes
Can't get no remedy on my tv
There's nothing but the same old news
They can't find a way to be
One world in harmony
Can't get no antidote for blues - Brothers In ArmsVer letra
[X]letra de 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 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
