Dire Straits -- Brothers In Arms

A slow and calm rendition from the Dire Straits, and oldie, but a goldie.

Released before my time back in '85.

Opening with the line "These mist covered mountains..."

Which generally sets the pace for the wonderful solitude the track can bring, even at the most hectic of times.

Interestingly enough, Mark Knopfler (Vocals and lead guitar) was voted to be *27 on Rolling Stone's top 100 guitarists and is well known for his "fingerstyle" playing.

Give it a belt:
