Rollin' Home
Scorpions - www.musicasparabaixar.org Lyrics

Way back in the days
It feels so long ago
But I remember it well
Always looking for a pot of gold
An old beat-up van
We would drive from gig to gig
I wonder how we survived
But we were on to something big

Now it's time to move along

We're packing this bus to leave and carry on

Here we go
This rock is rollin' home
This rock is rollin' home
This rock is rollin' home
This rock is rollin' home

You gotta make it or break
I always knew that we were strong
No matter what was said
We wouldn't argue for too long
And when it hit me hard
I thought I can't go on, no more
But at the end of the day
You really know what friends are for

Now it's time to move along
The wheels keep turning round, we'll carry on

Here we go
This rock is rollin' home
This rock is rollin' home
This rock is rollin' home
This rock is rollin' home

This rock
This rock is rollin' home
This rock
This rock is rollin' home

Now it's time to move along
We're packing this bus to leave and carry on
Carry on, we carry on

This rock is rollin' home

Here we go
This rock
This rock is rollin' home
This rock
This rock is rollin' home
Rollin' home
This rock is rollin' home
This rock
This rock is rollin' home

I know it’s not the same but I just wanna say it.

My father said

”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 in your palm

My brother in arms.”

At his best friends funeral which he has known since he was a 7 year old boy as well as his other friend. They grew up in a small village in Congo which people found odd when he tells them about it because he is white but he is Belgian and they had colonised Congo so I assume it’s why they were there, he is now 53. They called themselves the 3 musketeers, Kris(*the one who has died*),Lawrence my dads other best friend and my dad Thierry. The 3 of them went to school together, shared a room with each other at boarding school. They all grew up together. Everything they did they did together. His father was an abusive alcoholic and died when my father was 9 while his mom was in hospital with cancer which she overcame but died 3 years later from TB so he didn’t really ever have family, but he told me that the 3 of them were brothers. Whether they were blood or not. After school they would go down to the river and get on their little wooden sail boat that they borrowed from a local fisherman with a few friends. There were crocodiles and hippos there but they didn’t care, they were young and foolish but they had fun. One of his friends had a brother who had gone missing, 3 days later one of his arms were found on the banks of the river(irrelevant, I know). The 3 musketeers later went to Belgium to finish their studies so they could make it one day, when they had finished they all moved to South Africa because they missed Africa, but it wasn’t the same kind of Africa. When they came here they had very little money so the 3 of them rented a small apartment and stayed in it together. They searched tirelessly for jobs and my dad and Kris found jobs here, they both became engineers, the other friend Lawrence went back to Belgium because he couldn’t get one here and later found one there. Kris introduced my mom to my dad and he is the reason I,my brother and my sister exist. He was the one who had wanted a family the most out of the 3 of them, he had many girlfriends in the past , he ended up finding the right one who unfortunately may not have been and they got engaged and a few months later she died in a car accident. Years past, my dad and Kris had some fights and didn’t see each other for a few months but they resolved their problems. He finally found the person who would become his wife and start a family with. They tried many times to have children but she had some problem with her which was preventing her from getting pregnant, they went to doctors and tried to sort out the problems and after some time they finally managed to have children, 2 daughters 1 year difference in age. The 3 musketeers still saw each other often even tho the one lives in Belgium who also has a family of his own now and the other lives almost 2 hours from us. They all made it and were successful in life but Kris seemed to be an unlucky man, he then got COVID when working on some project in Congo which is ironic. The last time the 3 of them were together was 2 years ago because of COVID/ lockdown. Lawrence and his family came here because it was Kris’s 50th birthday. That was the last time we saw Kris. He died on the 16th of August 2, 2021, 2 days before my dads birthday and the same day my dad had a heart attack 7 years ago. After being in hospital fighting COVID for nearly 2 months, my mom called me to come downstairs and I had the feeling something was wrong and I saw my mom and dad standing in the kitchen, they told me that Kris had died just before my mom started crying, my dad tried to act strong like always but at the dinner table halfway through dinner he just started crying, I had never seen my dad cry in my entire life, I am 17. He had multiple infections and organ failures and my father wasn’t allowed to visit him but it would have been pointless because towards the end he was tired and looked deathly ill and was mostly sedated, a week before he died his wife went there and kept telling him he will be fine and he will make it but with the little strength he had , he shook his head and said no his wife Charlene told us, he asked to see his girls who are 5 and 6 but they weren’t allowed in.
They are now currently with us as his wife is suicidal and has gone to some institute to try and get help because she doesn’t know how to carry on.The girls don’t seem to understand what death is and that he isn’t coming back because they say “my daddy died and that’s why we aren’t at home but we waiting for mommy and daddy to come back” They don’t seem to be upset but they keep saying they miss mommy and daddy which hurts me to hear and I think it hurts my dad more as his friend isn’t here but his 2 daughters are and they will grow up without knowing their father like my dad did. My dad had to carry the coffin and do the eulogy which is when at the end he said those words because Brothers in arms was Kris’s favourite song.
But now *The 3 musketeers are no more*. I am writing this with tears in my eyes as I find it very upsetting, I had to watch the funeral online as your are only allowed 50 people in a venue. My dad put his hand on his coffin and patted it and said something which he says is just for Kris. The rest Kris’s family couldn’t fly here because of restrictions so they had to do a funeral in Belgium without the coffin. We had to watch it online. Lawrence did the eulogy too but he broke down at the end. It was in french so I couldn’t understand but my dad could. He was very upset for the rest of that day and didn’t say a word, I think it re enforced the fact that he is gone and there is no changing it and you can’t do anything.
My dad is now depressed and he doesn’t know what to do with his life which is upsetting for me and my family but the words he said in the eulogy

*“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 in your palm

My brother in arms.”

I will always remember those words.

My dad has tears in his eyes when he listens to this song now. He says when it’s his turn he wants his song to be
Blood Brothers
By Bruce Springsteen because Lawrence will be
the last one.

Rip Kris.

I know it’s not the same, I don’t know what it is like for you as I didn’t go to war and lose someone I was so close too like that so abruptly and in a way like that, and then for him to not even get the recognition that he deserved but I’m sure the people he has saved will always remember what he did and will forever be grateful as they were able to return to their families because of his sacrifice. Many people have gone to early before their lives even really started and it isn’t fair.

I have never had a friendship or a bond like you guys have so I will unfortunately never know.

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Someday you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer earn 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 riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line in your palm
We are fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

"Brothers in Arms" de Dire Straits é uma canção com múltiplas camadas de interpretação, mas sua essência gira em torno do tema da camaradagem e da tragédia da guerra.

A letra retrata a perspectiva de um soldado em meio a um cenário de guerra desolador. Os "campos de destruição" e os "batismos de fogo" simbolizam a violência e o trauma da batalha. Porém, apesar da dor e do sofrimento, a união entre os soldados surge como um ponto de esperança e resiliência. A frase "brothers in arms" torna-se um manifesto de solidariedade e companheirismo em face da morte e da incerteza.

Ao mesmo tempo, a canção expressa um anseio profundo por paz e um retorno à vida "normal". As "montanhas cobertas de neblina" se tornam refúgio temporário, mas o verdadeiro lar, "as planícies e as fazendas", representam a estabilidade e a esperança de um futuro livre de conflitos. O cantor reconhece a futilidade da guerra e apela aos irmãos de armas para que sonhem com um mundo onde não precisem mais lutar.

Apesar de seu contexto específico de guerra, a letra toca em temas universais como a fragilidade da vida, a impermanência do mundo e a importância dos vínculos humanos. A frase "há tantos mundos diferentes, tantos sóis diferentes, mas temos apenas um mundo, mas vivemos em mundos diferentes" reflete a diversidade de perspectivas e a dificuldade de compreensão mútua, porém também serve como um lembrete da necessidade de superar as diferenças e encontrar pontos de comunhão.

Vale lembrar que a canção foi lançada em 1985, em um período marcado pela Guerra Fria e a constante ameaça de uma guerra nuclear. Nesse sentido, pode ser interpretada como um protesto contra as futilidade e o horror da guerra, um apelo pela paz e pelo diálogo entre as nações.

Além dessas interpretações principais, cada ouvinte pode extrair significados pessoais da canção, conectando-a à sua própria experiência e perspectiva. A musicalidade melódica e melancólica, o vocal suave e introspectivo de Mark Knopfler, e a letra rica em imagens contribuem para a universalidade e o poder emocional da canção.

Espero que essa interpretação ajude a você se aproximar ainda mais da canção "Brothers in Arms".

LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Choros 1 / Bridge]
There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line in your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

[Instrumental Outro]

I’m 15 and I lost my dad in august. I remember warm summer nights sitting outside listening to this song among others. He would always tell me that when he passed every time I here this song I’d think of him. I wasn’t expecting to lose him so soon. Cancer is a terrible thing. It slowly destroys you from the inside out. Watching him fade away until he was just a skeleton of his old self is the hardest thing I’ve ever witnessed. This song helps me to remember the dad I loved, the happy, loving, smart man that raised me. I don’t like to remember him in the later stages of cancer, that wasn’t him. I miss you dad... I’d give everything to have you back for even a second :’/

I am 32 years old now. I was merely 21 when I was deployed to Afghanistan. Next to me sat a younger boy ~~none of us were men then, men know what they're doing, we didn't~~ named Alex. He was only 19. Alex was an orphan, just another lost soul sent to fight for a country that never cared for neither him, neither any soul it sent to its doom. Alex and I began nervously talking and before the plane landed, we were inseparable. We became the closest of friends over the course of our time in Afghanistan, we had to learn to kill and accept death. It wasn't easy, nothing was, but at least, in the middle of all the crap that went on, we had formed a friendship, a friendship so strong I dare say it was almost a brotherhood. I loved Alex both as a friend and as the younger brother I never had -and apparently was never meant to have. I felt responsible for him, felt like I had to teach him things I didn't even know myself. Most of all I cared for that boy more than I cared for myself. Alex died 11 years ago today. He dove on an Afghan grenade, saving my life and 12 others. Born a zero and died a fucking hero. The word "hero" is the least I can say to describe him. But they didn't talk about him on tv, they didn't give him a medal and they just forgot about him. Just another lost soul never finding its way. I was sent home a little after all that. A taxi took me from the airport and took me back to my family. This is the first song that played on the taxi ride. Needless to say, I burst out crying right then and there. I had lost people in my life, but nothing hurt more than the loss of Alex. Thinking about it years later, I believe that this song playing on the radio was a signal from Alex up in the sky, telling me that he finally found his peace beside God, and telling me not to worry about him and go on with my life. Anyway, wherever you are, Alex, I miss you, my brother in arms...
RIP Alex 09/09/2010.

I was exactly like that, except I wasn't in the Navy. All young people had to register in the Hungarian army for a year and a half.
I remember listening to this song in uniform in 1985 and thinking that it had only been forty years since the end of World War II. And I thought I hope everyone learned from it.
And how good it is that there is peace.
Not forty years have passed since then, and there is war again next door, Russia's soldiers are attacking Ukraine.
We could not learn from our own history, our own pains, our own losses.
Idiot politicians send their soldiers to die, who prefer to live at home in peace and love with their families.

It was 1985 and I was completely in love for the first time in my life. I was so happy with her. It was winter and we were driving through the snowy night listening to this song. Unfortunately, the relationship only lasted six months. I suffered a lot because I loved this woman so much. We lost sight of each other. Years later I found out that she died in a motorcycle accident in 1992. I was still completely shocked after all these years. I was trying to find out where she was buried. I had to go to her grave several times a year to be close to her. I've done this every year since 1992. Until her grave no longer existed. Now I continue to carry you in my heart and hope that we will see each other again sometime.

@@bananenrepublikde2939 That is a load of crap. Most of those deaths in Donbass were at the hands of the barbaric separatists who shelled residential areas with impunity, cut off water and other essential supplies to cities and towns. The people who run those "Republics" in Donbass send people way to labor camps if even a word of dissention is uttered. Putin is not ending a war, he starting a bigger one. And he couldn't care less about Donbass, or even Russians, frankly. He wants the entire Ukrainian people to bend their knee to him or perish.

This came on in the car today (18th November) and it made me realise that, with all of the other things going on in the world at the moment, I had not taken particular note this year of Armistice Day, which made me feel sad and guilty.

Then I realised that the people that we are honouring would probably far rather hear this than two minutes of silence, so I skipped it back to the start, cranked it up, and took the long way home: It is because of their sacrifice that I could do this.

As a free civilian: Thank you and your Brothers & Sisters for your sacrifices.

Having been a soldier, and gone to war, this song absolutely resonates to me. My Regimental colleagues were my brothers in arms, but actually the enemy also were, in a sense. They’d been sent there by politicians, and so had we. And we had respect for them. Just ordinary fellows, doing what they’d been told to do.

This song came out back when I was a teenager, and it always remind me of the feeling of being drafted (it was compulsory army service back then where I live). We soldiers would hum this tune, it spoke to us on a gut level what an actual war would be like, sitting there in the freezing trenches looking up at the stars.

I always had a special view of this song: My great-grandfather fought in WW2. One day, he got really sick (the flu or whatever), and was send to a field hospital a few kilometers away. He recovered unusually fast and as he was on the way back to the frontline, he was told that his whole Platoon had been killed. He saw his disease as some kind of miracle, but was of course still devastated. The lyrics represent exactly what he must have gone through, and him getting sick is the only reason I'm alive today, what always comes into my mind when listening to this

Your beautiful comment brought me to tears. My dad fought in WW2. He had stacks of books on the subject, and it was like he was trying to find a reason, or an answer he could live with. He was captured and was a prisoner of war. The only thing he ever told me was that he accidentally shot a woman. It haunted him. I so wish he was still alive so I could tell him how much I love him.

Your comment strikes my heart. My father was in WWII. He broke his ankle when the Jeep he was a passenger in rolled into a ditch. His platoon went on. When he recovered, he was assigned to guard German POWs because he spoke some German. We read many books about WWII together and would discuss them. I don't think that he could ever process the whole thing. I wonder would I have even existed but for a car accident. I also wonder why we humans cannot learn from history.
