  • I'm a huge Cockburn fan...never heard this one before, but as great as it is, the imagery is equally powerful...well done!

  • Thanks man, appreciate that.

    You play a mean guitar yourself!

  • i saw brucie live a few weeks ago and he blew my mind and i found that this song was one of the ones i have remembered most

  • Are you saying he played this in concert? If so, I'm envious! I've seen him a few times live and this is one I would have loved to see/hear live.

  • i saw this in a really small venue in a small churc and i was in the front row!!!! this guy blew my mind. im a musician in a small band and i've decided that this is how i want to play from now on. this guy must be one of my biggest influences.

  • I'd have to say so as well! What town/city was that it?

  • i had cockburn once., had to put lotion on it. bruce rox though!

  • Powerful in its simplicity.

  • Bruce Cockburn is one of the greatest guitarist living today in any genre of music. I've liked this guy since first hearing him back in 1979 with "Wondering Where The Lions Are."

  • :) thanks

  • A powerful and a great song. Thx for posting.

  • Great song from a collection that is only as great as the the sum of its parts! B. C. is an absolute ace, and yes I have seen the burning light VA7KSP, as I see you have, if only judging by the accompanying visuals that you have so graciously provided! So thanks to: YOU, YOU TUBE and Bruce Cockburn, you have all done very well! R. O. S. N. & S. of 54.40!

  • me too, this is fucking excellent. My wife has most of his albums and this is the first time i heard it done by someone other than blind willie. Thanks for vid and post, it is great.

  • I keep coming back to this one.. Excellent post!

    Cockburn is one of the most underrated guitarists out there. The work on this track was phenomenal.

    This obviously has been favourited.

  • COCKBURN! HAHAHAHA
