What does the phrase "brothers in arms" mean? Does it mean brotherhood forged or strengthened through fighting together?
It means "when Dire Straits went pop and sucked."
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

I've always taken it as so. Bonded by a commonality of mission, of taking care of one another, where the mission involves conflict. At least, that's what I've taken from the Knopfler song.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
For me to buy that definition, dw, you'd have to convince me that they ever didn't suck, and that's not possible.

The first half of Making Movies? Tunnel of Love, Romeo and Juliet, Skateaway?
I mean, that's some fine album-oriented rock there.

Tritely enough, I "needed" that information so I could finish up a Supernatural LJ icon. Which I'm not even going to use. But Jensen Ackles sure is pretty.

I pretty much like everything Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler have done, including Brothers in Arms.
Romeo & Juliet?
It's also been covered by the Indigo Girls.
