great song meaning . it's about when the US backed fascist regimes in Latin and South America . This song, if memory serves me, is about the the plight of Guatemalan refugees in southern Mexico and the Contra counter revolutionary killers in Nicaragua but can be applied to any US gov backed atrocities . imho the original recording is much better musically . the reason you hear a lot of guitars is not a lot of guitar dubbing by bruce cockburn but the inclusion of Fergus Marsh - bass and Chapman stick . it has ten or twelve strings. you don't pluck you just touch the strings . leaves the other hand free to play more notes and accompaniment . they are working on a totally acoustic "stick" which doesn't need any electric amplifier or synthesizer . en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stealing_Fire_(Bruce_Cockburn_album) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapman_Stick youtube playlist of chapman stick playlist : ua-cam.com/play/PLOwMkE8bh9fgIrsuxb-6mGg-axoGLGGET.html
"it's about when the US backed fascist regimes in Latin and South America" ... You mean it's about the mid-1850s up until today? We have always done that.
@@BruceK10032 I'm aware of that. But the US has backed fascist regimes in Central and South America for practically as long as there has been a US - and still does. Cockburn wrote the song while and after visiting Guatemalan refugee camps in Mexico, during the dictatorship of Efraín Ríos Montt, who like most dictators, terrorists, torturers and mass murderers in Central and South America, was trained by the United States. So while it was specifically inspired by the situation of Guatemalans in Mexican refugee camps, it could have been about just about anywhere in Central or South America, at just about any time.
Couldn’t be more relevant than it is today .
Powerful song, still resonates today. Unfortunatley.
This is a masterful version..
A real musician like cockburn always likes to add something different...
He really is one of a kind..
I love his song writing, singing and guitar work, a unique artist...Brilliant, thank you for posting.
I thought this beautiful, powerful, and wrenching song was pretty relevant for today. God bless us all.
Beautiful Beautiful SONG, my most fav song ever....

Fuck Reagan and his legacy. America's evil preceded Trump and it will succeed him
@@JimAndyAllyn It's specifically about Guatemala in the 1980s.
