Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms (1985)

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
[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

...

[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

Ozark Music
uark.pressbooks.pub

... The United States of America is home to a variety of regional and culturally significant music forms. From hip hop scenes in Los Angeles, to mariachi in San Antonio, to Cajun music in New Orleans, music represents more than just sounds. Music is also a marker of identity.

The Ozark Region of the United States is home to regional music transplanted from Appalachia and the British Isles. Ozark music, to some, would sound nothing more than "bluegrass" or "Appalachian folk tunes", but this music is specific to the region and pulls on its ancestry from other traditions. ...


Donald Trump's Actual Approval Rating vs What He Says It Is
www.newsweek.com

... President Donald Trump has again overstated levels of public support for his administration, claiming that a sizable majority of the country approves of his presidency despite no recent surveys showing him enjoying nearly the same level of support from the American electorate.

In a late-night post to Truth Social on Sunday, the president wrote: "59 percent Approval Rating. Prices coming down along with the lowering of oil and gas. Thank you! President DJT."

Trump did not specify the type of "approval rating" he was referring to or the specific poll that had shown him at 59 percent, though none of those tracked by RealClearPolling or The New York Times show him with over 50 percent approval in recent weeks or months. ...
