Barenaked Ladies - Lovers in a Dangerous Time

[Dededetracker]

I am proud of this Band. Pure Canadian Blood!! Bruce Cockburn's song. I enjoy both.

[zyclonb6]

Great band, very under-rated.

[MBiffaroni]

One of the best shows I have gone to...

Barenaked Ladies and Bruce Cockburn singing this,,,

[splitacab]

:'( I love them so much.

[ralphyization]

I'm missing Stephen Page!!! Get back together for crying out loud!!

[bamapagedesign]

I hate that Steve can't get his shit together. I also hate that the rest of the band didn't stick with him. Maybe one day we'll end up with all of them back together. Steve and Ed have been friends since they were children, for goodness sake!

[like900]

@bamapagedesign glimmer twins?

[bamapagedesign]

@like900 Hrm. I really don't remember posting that comment. I mean, I miss Steve, but the band is still just as good as they were. Ed and Kevin harmonize so well.

[splitacab]

@bamapagedesign - did you never hear the new Ladies' song, "You Run Away?" He's singing to Steve. It's sad that they're not together but don't blame it on the band for not being able to "stick with him."

[jekst]

@splitacab: Ummm.... did you never hear the new Ladies' song "Golden Boy".... fail way to choose the wrong song.

[mra2z]

These guys, this song is a major part of my adolescence! Memories !

[wirelessdave1]

Love em so much!!! Canada's #1!!!

[Zac6230]

I met Jim creegan on a plan next to me in 1994 as they were writing and recording "maybe you should drive"

[themooddisorders]

Page left because he is a flaming homosexual! How is that for being an experienced troll... I love him

[usblues100]

It's awesome that they decided to "revive" this superb,underrated song by Bruce Colburn. These guys really know their music and they dont have to distort anything to have their audiences totally into their shows.

[bbycks669]

steven page was the heart and soul iys just like lennon leaving the beatles

[frequencyspectrum]

beautiful cover. Gives me tingles every time I hear it.

[rennieallen]

Quite possibly the best cover of another artists song, that I have ever heard.

[dragonlance667]

whats that one song by bnl where in the video they keep switching places? i saw it on much music a while ago and can't remember the name of it :(

[MitsuharuMisawaRIP]

Awesome Cover Of An Awesome Bruce Cockburn Song

[MissEigensinn]

this is so amazing!!!! i feel like i'm not alone....

[SterlingRe]

Absolutely a great cover.

[lep590]

This is agreat cover.I always like Bruce's version,but they really added something to the song.Great Canadian music.

[1969asb1]

no offense to BNL, but bruce cockburn does a way better job on this tune. im not sure why musicians choose to copy popular songs. i find rarely if ever that the copy is better then the original

[TheSkippyJonJones]

im sort of on the same page as you, but do you really like all originals better than covers. reel big fish and a day to remember did phenomenal covers of songs that blew the origs out of the water. but what do i know, im a 18 year old trendy kid :)

this is still the best band though

[wuzzdog]

Take me back to being a young guy, awesome.

[juiceman1965]

Quite possibly my favorite cover song ever

[TheGreenman4444]

I Miss these guys, i really hope they reconsider bringing steven page back in...because these songs were part of my childhood

[luneth34]

i couldn't agree anymore lols

[Zac6230]

@TheGreenman4444 me too

[usergently]

Bliss!

[sfmiej]

I've been watching youtube vids of BNL for the last hour or so... Saw them live before their first cd even came out (when all they had was that yellow tape!) at the very first Arts County Fair at UBC.  When they sang lovers, it was so surreal being in the crowd... time seemed to slow down... that moment is etched in my memory

[p1ippers]

Wrote by BC,  but WOW what a voice on Ste Page! good sht...

[lookin4space]

I like the original by BC, but THIS version, the way Ed and Steven do it, makes it one of my most favorite songs ever.

[KnifeNut88]

My fav part is between 1:50-2:20 So sweet!

[thebarrymiles]

Maybe the Steve leaving thing is just one big joke, they'll come out in another month say "Gotchya!" and we'll all have a great laugh and carry on with out lives.

[KHVandread79]

As much as I'd love to believe that, I don't see that being the case.

[sassyruta]

You have an amazing hand wit the camera. NICE work! thanks for the good memories.

I saw this concert too in Victoria bC, January 31st. It was so good.

[deadpool90210]

My first band I ever saw live, before Eden came out. Great vocals, great band, what else did I miss?

[Oruboris]

I love them all, but to me it's Steven's voice that defines the sound. I hope to hear it again, hope to hear it more...

Tears in my eyes.

[bcbert]

Great band, great version of this song. First saw them play it at the Town Pump in Vancouver in 1990 or 91. Awesome then, awesome now.

[Slamma182]

He'll (Stevie) be out for a year or so. Go to rehab, say sorry again... and bam!!! Back in the band. Mark my words.

cheers

[amoebaman78]

As much as I would like that, I just don't think it's true. It seemed to me that Mr. Page had other interested beyond creating more pop music and he decided to leave the band to focus more on his interests.

[54spiritedwill54]

So awesome!

[tgomorgan]

AWESOME

[noname5555565]

Wow, hard to believe they broke up, I'm gonna miss them so much...

[madblackspy]

You're in luck, they didn't break up. The band is still together, one of the members just quit. They're still recording and touring together.

[noname5555565]

They aren't The Barenaked Ladies without Steven Page, his voice isn't even human it's so amazing. I saw them live and literally forgot where I was while he was singing a solo part, I just got lost in his music.

[amoebaman78]

Just because the 4 decided to continue, it certainly does not mean that it will be anything near the same.

[Moonlightequinox]

I agree that they aren't the Barenaked Ladies without Steven Page. I mean...they can try to keep the band up but I think their popularity will decrease enough without him that they may end up breaking up after all.... *cries*

[bwaam]

Like true Scarbarians they will survive.

[ralphyization]

@madblackspy What evs... without Stephen Page, they're not the Barenake Ladies!!(wholly) at least

[theruskmonster]

@madblackspy ya,but you know what he means.come on, ya there still a band,but not the original line up, a classic band issue.look at the doors. ya they still tour, but we all know,but i smell a die hard bnl fan, respect man.

[leoccash]

Some things are hard to find.

[janestclair]

got damn! steve looks hot there.

[maveness]

oops, my comment was supposed to be a response to ShaggyPirate, but it posted at the top of the list!

[111oooo]

One of the best covers of a song I have ever heard. If I was Cockburn I would be flattered and extremely happy with what the Ladies did with this song. Beautiful.

[Metallorgy]

it sounds like metro station totally ripped off cockburn in their song shake it.

[Towndrunk26er]

HUH?

[Metallorgy]

listen to the riffs of both songs and tell me if you hear a similarity

[NewAgeEagles]

if you think about how much music is out there metallorgy, its no surprise that two songs have very simaler riffs

and metrostation is to stupid to even know who cockburn is

[ShaggyPirate]

Was at this show. Later saw them at the Red Robinson. YOu wanna talk about an awesome show, if you ever get to see BNL in a small theatre like that, pay whatever you have to, it's amazing!

[maveness]

I totally agree having seen them in a couple of small venues myself. The smaller more intimate shows are tough to beat!

[goofybutkind]

would madblackspy find this to be over the green-eyed lady or dung-eyed whore?

[goleafsgo1414]

cockburns song came out in like 1984!! his is obviously the original!!

great song by both artists!!

wow the bnl's really do a great job covering that song!!

[ludan68]

Actually was in 1983 but I guess it got to the US a yuear later. I liked this cover and I agree with you about BNL covering it, because the song indeed it's a great one, but definitely Cockburn's rules!!!

[TimLindsay]

I always remember seeing the Real McCoy Hamburger store at Brimorton and Markham Road in this video. Best burgers there still!!

[leafsfan00007]

THE BNL WROTE THIS SONG?!

you guys are getting confused, it was cockburn who did the cover

[Penhappy101]

This is Bruce Cockburn's song--BNL are covering it--where were they in 1984 when Bruce did it? They do a really good cover! Both have their own music--but in this instance they're paying tribute to a talented Canadian musician/songwriter.

[snmaster5]

no offence but i pefer bruce cock burns original vrsion better than bnl theres is realy good but theres just that littel beat in cock burns that gets ya going

[FSUSkippy]

great Bruce Cockburn song!

[cellavb]

I'm 2 minutes from where these guys are from,

it's dumb, but I am honestly proud

[Rockbandslidepostsch]

this song reminds me of my hero, James Ham

[vegas2008]

Where are these guys these days? Last time I saw one of them at the Scarborough Town Center walking around was around 3 years ago. I wonder where they are these days, anyone know?

[stickboy00]

well saw them last year on their tour for their new album, they also did a cruise a couple of months ago, thats the last ive heard of them

[tienavva]

hreat question! ive been checking their website, no tour dates or anything!

[AndrewPoulain2007]

For ppl that want to get that song can use Limewire or Frostwire to get it. I did and it's on my iPod now and I LOVE it this is my favourite song of all 230!!!

[imulchapeach]

Of course, you could also drop a few bucks and actually support the artists that have brought you so much enjoyment. What a concept.

[cellavb]

well said :)

[JaneDoe360]

this song's my fave.

[PatsyS3]

Massive Fan of BNL

Don't know this song??

Is it on Cd anywhere??

[wdgarraway]

Its on their greatest hits album. It was one of their first (might be the first) BNL hit song in Canada. A cover of the great Bruce Cockburn song

[PatsyS3]

Many Thanks.....I'll go a check it out!!

[JaneDoe360]

I'm thinkin' of covering this song with a slighty different video concept... at the end snowball fight!

[JaneDoe360]

you can?

[simbeau]

I've seen them 26 times, and never seen them do this live. I gave up my tickets to this show for charity and they did it. Ugh!

[masic88]

i know. that sucks. sorry about that -- it was a rather cruel twist from Irony indeed.

[Angelfire4161]

crazy man, crazy! it's a good bruce cockburn cover! love it. but why isn't ty or kev singing?

[Angelfire4161]

where's bruce?

[Angelfire4161]

It's okay , but could they find a better vid concept?

[cynicalwordsmith]

So awesome! thanks for capturing this!

[Angelfire4161]

freddie Mercury!!

[ejadc]

i can hear you sing!

:D

great video...your point/shoot, right?

tell me more tomorrow!

[Angelfire4161]
