Bruce Cockburn - Wondering Where the Lions Are

[stcygrl]

the world survives into another day and I'm thinkin' bout eternity.....

[MrLowedog]

"Suns' up, um ,looks OK......."

[GroovinGumby]

I read that when a reporter asked Eric Clapton what it was like 2 b the best guitarist in the world, he said he didn't know ... you'd have to ask Bruce Cockburn.

[makokan2000]

If i only had the energy to make love to my woman

[ScienceFairProject28]

There is one asshole in the world.....

[rohanwotan2]

@ScienceFairProject28

Did George W drop by? Santorum? Rick Perry? Must've been Mitt or Newt!

[hanuman16]

one of my fav songs ever

[AngusShanks]

@65spitz

Hey man I love Maiden and Bruce. I catch both acts whenever they come close to me. Matter of fact, Bruce lives about 20 minutes away from me when he isn't in San Fransisco. Just be glad that neither acts are rap 'artists'.

[lovemaker1972]

just awesome music

[ScienceFairProject28]

This song reminds me of a father and a son meeting after a big fight.....weird <_<

[newfrontier01]

Absolutely brilliant!

[Andrew14312018]

Detroit?

[SwingmanVendetta]

I like this song, but someone should tell him the lions are in Africa.

[GhandiSyWhaaat]

They don't play this song enough on any radio station...

[superficker2000]

best wishes to you Bruce greetings from good old Germany please come back to the City of Baden Baden in Germany for a concert.or the city of Cologne or Hamburg or Munich or Stuttgart or Duesseldorf.you have the choice Bruce

[courace]

i'm wondering who that poor lonely soul is that could possibly dislike this song?

[SPAMDAGGER22]

@courace No shit!

[MrRock3691]

this song is way under viewed haters

[leftatalbuquerque]

A variation on the "wolf at the door" idea.

[porridgesilt]

only a zebra would dislike this.

[Shrtcat]

@porridgesilt LOL ahah I love you

[kerinapetshop]

Wondering where the lions are.... <3 I think I've found them. <3333

[ganyuehan]

I can guess, but don't quite get the meaning of this song.

[skydome29]

@ganyuehan songfacts. com will give you a good idea. Mostly about amidst all the fears (of the time of it being written) and huge paranoia of events that didn't materialize.

[ganyuehan]

@skydome29 Thanks! :)

[PixieDust19962]

This song reminds me of a sunny Saturday morning in the spring. Must be the guitar. :)

[cathofaithdef]

HOOT

[bucky468]

Reminds me somewhat of Lou Reed.

[mikefan09]

do some tours bruce!

coast to coast usa tour would be great!



[Cxaxakluth]

@mikefan09 He was and I had tickets to see him in Halifax too but he suffered a collapsed lung a few months back. Since then, he's made a full recovery, thankfully, and wants to get back the road as soon as possible.

[mikefan09]

@Cxaxakluth glad to hear hes doing good, i wish him well and u too, and all good people in general, everywhere. hope i get to see him in concert, that would be great. love this song, so feel good, best to wake up to.

[mikefan09]

love the song, nice music.

[mikefan09]

great song, cool and enjoyable, blissful.i dont mean to spoil it with morbid reality, but sweet delusion is detrimental.

[TheSkepticUn]

@mikefan09 Why would anyone but an angry old fart post such crap ? Is your life so sad that you can't just listen to good music and take it for what it is without projecting your own pathos onto it? Wow dude, unhappy childhood perhaps?

[mikefan09]

@TheSkepticUn huh, this guy's channel gone after posting comment, lol. bitch! trying to just malign the messenger hoping people wont notice the message. u weak ass faggot zionist its too late for u so fuck off onto oncoming traffic motherfucker! here's wot im unhappy about u cunt, u israelis did 9/11 and think u will get away with it. something's in store for u big time!

[doolie9]

@mikefan09

You think Israeli's are... bad people?

You're very ignorant.

[mikefan09]

@doolie9 a certain ruling faction, look wots happening over there, the links to here and what gonna happen. theres a lot of info out there. its a predatory elitist ruling mentality im talking about. sure i dont neccessarily mean everyone there.

[doolie9]

@mikefan09

Well, then I can certainly agree with you. Sorry If I was quick to judge, but your wording might have been slightly misconstrued :)

[EricDymond]

@mikefan09 States did 9/11 bro.

[mikefan09]

@EricDymond i hear ya. but i think its more accurate to say a high level treasonous faction of us born zionists, who keep their true loyalties and israeli/jewish heritage very secret, using freemasonry as the organisation for planning out and achieving their real agenda while placing their most loyal zionist members into the highest positions of power in this the u.s, into the military, intel, political, economic and social leadership so they can control everything, and do 9/11 etc for israel

[brelfan]

@mikefan09 I see. Israel was responsible for flying plains into the World Trade Center. Not the Saudis and Taliban members who piloted the plains. Is it possible stupid, racist people, like you, come up with outlandish theories about Jewish plots to control the world? Or how about this? Arabs have commited acts of war on the US and then make pathetic attempts to blame it on Israelis? Does that sound possible? Or are Zionists controlling the universe wearing silly, Freemason hats?

[nexqabahg]

@brelfan hit vote down by accident, i totally agree. crazy conspiracy theories are crazy for a reason XD also kinda racist there eric

[copernicus633]

"....young man marching, helmets shining in the sun, polished and precise like the brain behind the gun SHOULD BE...."

[slartibartfast68]

I wonder if they serve cheap scotch where the lions are

[vdrkoel331]

I'm in GATOR country..no lions here..go to Detroit.

[hoai4795]

HOOT!

[Antichrist1305]

Never heard about Bruce until I was in Grade 11. Thanks Theuerkauf for showing me a good singer :)

[mikefan09]

the lions are in israel, waiting to pounce, on everyone!

[edvvard1]

@mikefan09 yes, we should all be very, very afraid. Lead the crusade Mike and don't leave the house, for like at least a couple of decades or you might be thrown to the lions!! Also, I heard the sky is falling, lol

[copernicus633]

@mikefan09 Meaning ?

[mikefan09]

@copernicus633 @copernicus633 i was on a geo-strategic political train of thought at the time, while listening to this song. i research alot on the real world behind the superficial news stories we read. wot does a lion do? which group/nation acts like that, especially in the american experience.

[mikefan09]

@copernicus633 i tried to post a link to you, but youtube suspiciously wont let me post it, especially since the info content is controversial, to them, to a zionist entity like youtube.

well if u send me a message ill try send the link to u. all the best.

[noesupert]

@mikefan09 im sorry, but you are wrong. It does not have anything with youtube being zionist that you wont be able to post links, it is to stop spam. And calm down with your conspiracys, no one are comming to kill you, ecpecially not the israelis. Maybe you shoud check out Saudi-Arabia? But chill, calm down and enjoy your life =)

[starrytal]

Never fails to move me, Beauty of a song, good memories. I was sixteen when I first heard it.

[Aqene1000]

Sublime piece !

[jackoxpass]

this gem always reminds me of the first time you get a bit of sun on your back after a long cold winter

[rohanwotan2]

@jackoxpass

A most excellent and very Canadian analogy! Well done.

[Axetele]

One of the best rhythm-sections ever recorded, IMHO.

[jazzpsalti]

@Axetele the snare sounds so good too

[Axetele]

@jazzpsalti Barely any snare in the tune - a ghosty roll! What there is sounds good, though. 2-4 upside down, hold the 2!

[jazzpsalti]

@Axetele oh my you're right, I heard the toms in the fills and thought one of them was a lightly snared drum, either way, that tom sounds great

[papillion07]

this song never fails to lift me; Cockburn's finest moment

[a2zme]

One of the best acoustic guitar riffs ever! Awesome tune! Thanks for posting...

[artdecogrl]

One of my favourite songs to run to. Absolutely love it. Thank you for posting :)

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #21 pop, #22 AC in the US (Billboard). How'd it do in Canada, Bruce's homeland? God bless you, brother Bruce!

[airanger]

Great song. It reminds of my first summer working in the Redwoods.
