Product Description
"Brothers in Arms" is a song by British rock band Dire Straits, the closing track on their fifth studio album of the same name, released in May 1985. It was written in 1982, the year of Britain's involvement in the Falklands War.
In 2007, the 25th anniversary of the war, Mark Knopfler recorded a new version of the song at Abbey Road Studios to raise funds for British veterans who he said "are still suffering from the effects of that conflict." "Brothers in Arms" has become a favourite at military funerals.
The song appeared in several television programmes including the second season finale of The West Wing: "Two Cathedrals" from 2001, a 1998 episode of Canadian police procedural Due South ("I Coulda Been a Defendant"), and the final episode of The Grand Tour, "One for the Road", hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May, during their last drive as they ended their 22-year partnership as motoring television presenters in 2024. It has further appeared as the end credits to Civvies (1992), a TV mini series about former forces personnel trying to navigate the civilian world, as well as in television show Miami Vice ("Out Where the Buses Don't Run" from 1985), the series finale of Cold War thriller The Americans and the 2001 action thriller Spy Game.
