Lovers in a Dangerous Time: Ed from the Barenaked Ladies @ BMSC

[ralphyization]

I do like Ed AND I do like his musical partner, Stephen Page! Of course Bruce Cockburn gets credit. That goes without saying, n'est pas? He did good, but he still needs Stephen for the high notes. Better together!!! Get back together , for crying out loud!

[thaichatham]

Ty very much Ed and the rest of the ladies ) Amazing band, touching songs, harmonies that make your hairs stand on end! I remember my cousin going to check out this little know local band in T.O. called BNL. How far you guys have come since, but still keeping that BNL feel:) cheers guys, thanks for enriching our lives:)

thanks Ed!

[zyclonb6]

Pro, ty

[michaelckerr]

Ed! Please bring Steven back. If he doesn't want to change his mind, change it for him! If you don't then change your mind. Got it? good! Canada is counting on you Ed ;-) No pressure.

[tmfcovers]

@michaelckerr No way. Have you even listened to their new album? It´s incredible; Jim´s and Kevin´s voices and influence really shined through, and without Steve, it really feels like an entire band effort. That´s not meant as a dig at Steve; he´s an incredible singer and a very friendly person, but if you look at the difference between BLAM and All In Good Time, it´s astounding. I love BLAM as much as any BNL album, but Steve is still too dominating in its sound. They´re better off without him.

Ed! Please bring Steven back. If he doesn't want to change his mind, if you don't then change your mind. Got it? good. ;-)

[bearass769]

[usergently]

This guy is my Lennon/McArtney of the times. Thanks Ed. Peace out!

[luthierjustin1]

@usergently

who is mcartney?

[usergently]

@luthierjustin1 Wow! are you living in a cave?

[luthierjustin1]

@usergently

nope, never heard of any one named McArtney

[FoxyBia]

@luthierjustin1 sarcasm about the spelling i hope :D

[luthierjustin1]

@usergently

ohh yeah and you do realize he didn't write this bruce cockburn wrote it, bnl covered it for a tribute album about 18 years ago

[usergently]

@luthierjustin1 I know, but the talent is the case here.

[luthierjustin1]

@usergently

What are you talking about?

[usergently]

@luthierjustin1 Peace, talent, beauty and love.

[FoxyBia]

@usergently It's McCartney not McArtney

[hurricane2208]

I look at this song the same way that I look at NIN/Johnny Cash's hurt. Trent Reznor says that it's his version of Hurt that is now the cover, because Cash made it so much more unique. I wouldn't be surprised if Bruce Cockburn feels the same way. Even he now performs the BNL version as opposed to his own.

[WholyRoly]

Thx alot Ed, trying to figure the best way to do this on a loner gig

[JeremiahRocker]

Ed is so modest. Lol.

"I can't sing that high."

To hell you can't buddy!

[jsaxygal1234]

[ShaughnBradley]

Ed is someone you just wish will be at any party you have. He epitomizes what it is to be Canadian. If he ever read this ...I would just wish to convey my thanks for his many years of beautiful songs and inspiration. The format that this video was recorded in is so true and real that I feel it captures what music means and conveys to not just the layman but his own peers as well... Thank you Ed.

[69pittman69]

Wicket upload, great cover song!

[ks016]

I wouldn't even call it a cover since the original was not even close to as popular as the bnl version

[69pittman69]

Sorry but it don't matter if it's more popular then the original, it was still written by someone else. I like this verison way better but it's still a cover, PERIOD!

[ks016]

No I know that it is a technically a cover I'm just saying its way more kick ass. Dont be a douche and be all literal you know what I was saying.

[69pittman69]

Yeah again I agree it's better then the original but how am I being a douche, your the one saying you wouldn't even call it a cover when it clearly is!

[Ashadowman]

It's not a BNL piece you nerdball.......

It was originally done by Bruce Cockburn

[Spencyono]

@Ashadowman

Haha, leave it to a BNL fan to call someone a 'nerdball'!

[69pittman69]

Google it genius, it's originally written by Bruce Cockburn, that is all!

[jofacuda]

@ks016 ,

What a crazy thing to say. BNL should be thanking Bruce Cockburn for this beautiful song. Indeed, I think they have publicly thanked him on a number of occasions. Two great Canadian talents.

[gruchster]

wow how nice is that.... it really shows how great this guy is... he sounds great without all the mixing and that other bull that many of them need to sound good.

[WrenZy47]

sweet kicks 2;26

[bdowbor]

they had to be canadians !!! BNL are the best

[MakerScream]

ed you are what all famous musicians should be like.....2 fucking cool!!!you people there were sooooooooooo lucky

[lookin4space]

I didn't think much of the song when I heard Cockburn's version. However, it became one of my favorite songs of all time. Every time I hear it I miss traveling through Canada.

[pervisirani]

What a nice guy

[wilfridblood]

Nicely done. Great song by Bruce Cockburn, but done very nicely by you thx..

[kkkrammer]
