β€œLast night I had the strangest dream I’ve ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed to put an end to war
I dreamed I saw a mighty room all filled with [women and] men
And the paper they were signing said they would never fight again…”

#Lyrics from Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream, by Ed McCurdy; often sung by Pete Seeger and others

Brothers in Arms - one of my fave #AntiWar songs from #DireStraits.

It's about bonds between soldiers on both sides of trenches during the #FalklandsWar.
#MarkKnopfler wrote the song in 1982, when the war happened. Falklands War was a conflict between #Argentina & #UnitedKingdom over islands off the coast of Argentina that each country claims rights to.

A new version of the song was released in 2007 by Knopfler in order to raise money to bring #veterans of the war back to the #Falklands as a way to treat their #PTSD.

Knopfler is one of my fave top 5 guitarists of all time 🎡🎸🎢 He is a brilliant songwriter too.
