Radio Paradise (mobile)

I'm a soldier of freedom in the army of man
We are the chosen, we're the partisan
Well the cause it is noble and the cause it is just
We are ready to pay with our lives if we must
Gonna ride across the river deep and wide
Ride across the river to the other side
I'm a soldier of fortune, I'm a dog of war, yeah
And we don't give a damn a-who the killing is for
It's the same old story with a different name
Death or glory, it's the killing game
Gonna ride across the river deep and wide
Ride across the river to the other side
Oh nothing gonna stop them as the day follows the night
Right become the wrong, the left become the right
And they sing as they march with their flags unfurled
Today in the mountains, tomorrow the world
Gonna ride across the river deep and wide
Ride across the river to the other side
Gonna ride across the river deep and wide
Ride across the river to the other side

hugogdt Mar 12, 2013 - 02:33	Not the best song of the album, and even though a great song. I agree, all this CD is good vibrations ... [ Reply ]
timelessart Nov 22, 2012 - 00:58	I bought this CD at least 4 times. Every time some one "borrowed" it from me I replaced it. I never got it back. I love this CD. It has a great vibe. [ Reply ]
jeremyleo Oct 25, 2012 - 12:10	Theme from 'Breaking Bad' kind reminds me of this. My fav off Brother in Arms. I love the groove. [ Reply ]

You're welcome. Apparently, Def Leppard declined the offer they were too busy working on a project having just returned from post apocalyptic 2045 to be bothered about Calexico. [ Reply ]
Tippster Jun 17, 2012 - 16:16	Arguably my favorite song. Period. Unbelievably great guitar work on this - even better than on "Brothers in Arms." [ Reply ]

PA1749 Mar 30, 2012 - 11:47	This entire album is a time machine that takes me back to my senior year in high school. If I only knew then... [ Reply ]

Great song on a great album. [ Reply ]

abbey_normal Nov 08, 2011 - 11:45	Once I have a sound system sorted in my current car, I put this track on. I think it's a great test track. [ Reply ]
Cynaera Sep 06, 2011 - 13:39	Little-known factoid: The National Steel (Reso-phonic) guitar was invented by John Dopyera in Los Angeles in the mid-1920's for playing Hawaiian and Jazz music. When the electric guitar was invented in the 1930's, the National Steel guitar fell out of favor. Dopyera also invented the Dobro. Amazing what you can learn from the Internet, innit? It adds one more layer to the saga of why I love Dire Straits and the National Steel guitar... [ Reply ]

When I got my first CD player, my first CD was Aqualung, an all-time fave album, but the CD sounded terrible with tons of noise. Not long after that, fortunately, "Brothers in Arms" came out — digitally recorded! Now THAT'S what I was hoping for. So clean, you can turn it up to maximum volume and it's totally noiseless. I used it for auditioning speakers for years.
