[hjmndj]

Beautiful job!

[Emmibolt]

Absolutley wonderful! 5/5!!!!

[thomasl2367]

fuckin' emotional... you rock!

[gorillabelly1]

Well done, bdouvill! I find solo instrumentals of this song far more touching and meaningful (as though you're getting what the song is really supposed to sound like and convey) than the 80's keyboard/drum machine-drenched original released Cockburn.

Beautiful... if you ever write the sheet music for this please let me know!

[ermaqwayzer]

This is Sheldon from The Big Nabg Theory :D nice

Nice job -- I enjoyed this. In Cockburn's studio version of the song (the original) there are a couple of bass notes between the lines of the chorus you should try adding to your rendition. I hope it's easier to do on piano than it seems to be on guitar. Are you starting the song on B?

[bdouvill]

Thanks. It's been so long since I did this (and I did it by ear -- and largely by memory, so my choice of chords was probably not very precise), that I can't remember the details of how I played this. But I chose the key of Db, because it worked best for my voice range. And because this piece is easy to play on black keys. :)

Cheers,

Bruce

[PresidentGackt]

[ilcff2]

[brianchylinski]

[mirecia]

[popbellyPOP]

nice :P

[ShawnLanting]

Really good job man, but I think you should have transposed it up a bit, So that it was more in your vocal range. But you did a really good job, I liked it.

[eunih08]

like it!

[ailinoro]

this is a great arrangement of the song!

[smellyfooty]

beautiful. You should sell the piano piece. It's exquisite.

[ailinoro]

too bad it was already sold by bruce cockburn...

[musicpearl]

Beautiful arrangement!

[ludan68]

[Jeperog]

[remillersen]

having known bruce all my life,, i'm sure he'd enjoy your version. i think you play well :)

[hanschrist]

Look bdouvill, magnuslinde was making fun of you. He didn`t mean you have a "great haircut". You`re a nerd & you look like it. Magnuslinde is taking the piss out of you :-)

[bdouvill]

I'm a nerd & I look like it? Absolutely!

Cheers,

Bruce

[jjwmacdo]

I'm a nerd too.

And you rock. And so do I.

Nerds rock!

Great song. Nice job

[wantonluxury]

bravo wonderful playing

[Wave2Wave]

...where they charge only $10 CDN for the cut (that's about $9.40 US). lol

[bdouvill]

Well, it was true then.  Funny how quickly things change, eh? :)

[jeffkahl]

right on man! neat to hear a piano version of this!

[bdouvill]

Stylist? Well, it's a Korean-owned business a few minutes from my apartment, where they charge only $10 CDN for the cut (that's about $9.40 US). Bruce Cockburn has a wide range, so it was tricky to find a the right key that allowed me to still hit the low notes and be heard, AND not sound like I was straining too much on the top notes.

[magnuslinde]

Gotta kick at the darkness til it bleeds daylight. Lovely rendition ... and you even make those low notes. Thanks so much! Great haircut too; who's your stylist?
