Bruce Cockburn, "Lovers In A Dangerous Time" (my cover)

This song has been on my mind lately. To love passionately -- love each other, love humanity and the wider circle of creation -- is to truly live.

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

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,

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

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

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.
