Ladies and Gentleman please stand up, hats off and applause the kings of rock and their most hit album ’’Brothers In Arms’’!!Being released in May 1985, this album sold over 20 million copies all over the world and broke up a great record...Opening a new ’’era’’ in rock this album made many people love rock music.Here is a review of the album and songs generally...
SO FAR AWAY:The opening track of the album has a simple and plain melody that could be played with 3 chords.A soft electronic guitar dominated the song from the beginning to the end.Not being ’’pretentious’’ this track gets the listener ready for the rest of the album which includes songs that are really ’’pretentious’’...
MONEY FOR NOTHING:Here is the first hit song of the album;a real ’’pretentious’’ one!!Starting with a ’’harsh’’ electronic guitar, this track keeps it’s ’’energetic’’ rhytm from the beginning to the end.The guitar dominates the track from the beginning to the end again.The subject of the lyrics is interesting.It tells about the workers making comments about what they see on MTV and especially their complaints about their own lives compared with the stars on the TV.
WALK OF LIFE:Okay here is the most hit and striking track of the album.A beautiful rock’n roll song which in fact deserves the term ’’energetic’’ with it’s rapid and lively rhytm.Noone could be able to keep themselves from dancing.The keyboards dominate the song thoroughly and a rhytm guitar accompanies it.A real joyful one!!You might want to listen it over and over again.This one too involves 3 simple chords and a simple melody.But even being simple it’s one of the best tracks in the album.
YOUR LATEST TRICK:After a full time of dancing and fun, now it’s time to ’’land’’...The wonderful slow track of the album with it’s utterly different atmosphere offers you a beautiful romantism.The most different thing from the other tracks is, this one is dominated by a saxophone from the beginning to the end.It ıs played so fabulous that it cuts your feet off the ground and makes you fly up to the clouds!!Telling a strange story about a forsaken lover, the lyrics create a bit confusion and need a careful reading to understand.Great to listen with your lover...
WHY WORRY:A wonderful song more which was only included in the LP version.A smooth and refreshing slow track which is interesting especially for it’s https://lyrics.Giving a good look to the phylosophy of the pains and beauties of life this song gives you ’’soothing’’ messages to make life easier.’’There should be laughter after pain, there should be sunshine after rain, these things have always been the same, so why worry now?’’
RIDE ACROSS THE RIVER:A classical Dire Straits song with a deep and intoxicating atmosphere.Guitar solos are very good.
THE MAN’S TOO STRONG:One more song with a profound atmosphere.A good rhytmic song played with a guitar of a lovely sound.If you listen to it with understanding the subject of the lyrics the song becomes more beautiful to listen.It tells about an outlaw, his confessions and his fading...
ONE WORLD:An ordinary song.Doesnt look so attactive between the leading ones.A classical rhytm and guitar song.
BROTHERS IN ARMS:Here is the great final!!The track involving the most profound atmosphere created with electric guitars and the keyboards together.A great slow song resembling the style of Pink Floyd.You surely pass by yourself while listening to this one.It will certainly take you to outer worlds which are made of dreams.You will feel so light that it gives you a feeling like ’’floating in the air’’.The lyrics show the evil of war in the most magnificient and monumental style.’’Now the sun’s gone to hell and the moon’s riding high.Let me bid you farewell, every men 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’’...
