For all champagne snobs out there… this is exactly what I would be doing if this was the last night of the world… thank you Bruce!!!

My son asked close friends (and his mother) to chose songs to be played at his wedding feast. I chose this one. I wished for him this kind of love.

The WFUV session is Bruce at his finest and it seems he's finally found a generation eager for his message and influence.Thankfully,his passion hasn't diminished with age, but rather he's shed the slight pretentiousness he struggled with in his youth-Three songs simply are not enough- I hope more are available soon-

Guitar greatness!

Lyrics
I'm sipping Flor De Caña and lime juice, it's three a.m.
Blow a fruit fly off the rim of my glass
The radio's playing Superchunk and the Friends of Dean Martinez
Midnight it was bike tires whacking the pot holes
Milling humans' shivering energy glow
Fusing the space between them with bar-throb bass and laughter
If this were the last night of the world
What would I do?
What would I do that was different
Unless it was champagne with you?
I learned as a child not to trust in my body
I've carried that burden through my life
But there's a day when we all have to be pried loose
If this were the last night of the world
What would I do?
What would I do that was different
Unless it was champagne with you?
I've seen the flame of hope among the hopeless
And that was truly the biggest heartbreak of all
That was the straw that broke me open
If this were the last night of the world
What would I do?
What would I do that was different
Unless it was champagne with you?

Those who KNOW, KNOW what the message is.

[@aneyesky]

Exactly right

[@nolando360]

Sublime

[@kathleenwarshawsky589]

A favorite song--just perfect. Is it a coincidence he and Joni Mitchell are both from Canada?

[@andrewphelan2012]

No coincidence

[@Charles-db3kr]

Canada has 39 million people. I guess 2 out of 39 million is not bad. 3 if you count Gordon Lightfoot

[@jointstrike2]

Rush as well. "The Trees" is about what is happening now...

[@johnryman1366]

Where is the original from 20 years ago?

[@Pancho308]

That's a beautiful guitar....anybody know what it is? Flor de Cana....great Nicaraguan rum. I learned from this song.
