Not only that, a world-class guitarist. I've seen him in front of 5000 people with an acoustic guitar and no band, holding the audience transfixed with just his playing. That's something you don't know from this video, because this is a full band arrangement. He can burn up the frets and amaze people.
My husband and I had a meet and greet with him after a show. We took a photo. He is a real gentleman and of course a very talented musician. Love, a fan
A terrific song - and a terrific dream. This was from my favourite Cockburn album. Until DART TO THE HEART came out. Then that was my favourite. Until THE CHARITY OF NIGHT came out. And that remains one of my top ten albums by anyone. Cockburn: one of the five best songwriters working.
Well you wanted obscure, and you got it. Even the Canadian stations didn't pick this one up and he's from Canada. A few of his song floated across the border via Toronto radio; but I don't recall it and neither do any of my friends. Really good though.
Great song. Is a bit brighter than a lot of Bruce’s material. Not that he doesn’t have a lot of insightful messages. He’s just got a literary fist in a velvet glove and a hope for a better world.
Me too heard him doing a solo gig @ a winery one hot night in Saratoga CA. He produced some of the heat himself with his guitar licks and wonderful vocals...so yeah I've heard him many times when I lived in SF Bay Area.

Oh man!...Nashville in June!!!! I can't wait!
When this fantastic song failed to chart I knew rock was dead..😂
This is still my favorite Bruce Cockburn album. Timeless.

And he still does. Saw him a few months ago and he is still a rare talent on guitar.
Favorite 😍
From my favorite Cockburn album Nothing But a Burning Light, so damn good all the way through.
It's a masterpiece.
Awesome 😎
Happy 77th Birthday Bruce!!
that canadian guy is greatly underestimated and talent that could only been given by God

Lucky you! Where did you see him?
Tarrytown, New York.
Glad to know he is still on the circuit! Still a chance to see him again... blessings!!
And I get to see him again next June at The Fur Peace Ranch, Meigs County,, OHIO. Jorms Kaukonens fine venue. :-)
jus' outta curiosity, who was US President in that year?
Great songwriter and very accomplished guitar player, I love Bruce Cockburn since I first heard while in college. Rock on!
Nobody writes a song like Bruce!
I've had the opportunity to hear him live and he's the real deal. Fantastic singer/songwriter!
Very special........Mr.Cockburn !!!
I have also seen Bruce about 5 times live! Actually, I first heard this song for the first time back in 1995. I have a fan ever since.

Saw him on the tour for this album, solo show, one of the best shows I've ever been to. Made me a fan.
love this song
Prescience with great musicianship
a great song - the guy's got plenty more
Nothing But A Burning Light is a masterpiece. Every Canadian school should be showing this to our kids, but, our government doesn't want the truth.
I think that I saw him, in 1984, in Dekalb, IL, playing songs from his Stealing Fire" Album!!! => An AWESOME Show, at the "Egyptian Theater"!!!
A dream like ours...
good stuff, thanks
awsome

Hey Jimmy
BC is best when he stays away from politics. This song is sublime.
One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.
-Plato
I think this song is political in the very best sense.
@@seansmith3058 More spiritual than political.
Fantistic word smith. I don't understand ?he seems to be hidden in the U.K.
