"These fragile bodies of touch and taste/This vibrant skin, this hair like lace...."
What an exceptional song writer is Bruce Cockburn.
Pure poetry! :)
Bro he didn't write this song, barenaked ladies did
Finish the verse
One of my favorite verses ever
@@bowengoertzen1854are you serious? He wrote this song in the 80’s.
I'm proud he is Canadian.
Canada's Mark KNopfler!!!
I recently discovered him and I have to say Rush, Neil Young, Till Tuesday, and him are some of my favs from the great north
My family reigned from Canada and merged south to New York.
Gotta kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight. If I had to listen to only one artist for the rest of my life I'd take this guy. Amazing poet and musician!
best line in all music
@@dippin1523:I first listened to -- and fell in love with -- Bruce's music decades back; right when this first came out I Was Hooked. Haven't heard this in years! Plus, yes, IT IS one of the All Time greatest lines in the history of music. Mr. Cockburn CONSCIOUSLY turned down greater popularity to speak his mind.
Absolutely agree!! Bruce is my #1!
Even bono stole those lyrics
Me2. Not even a close second in sight.
This song works more today than when it was coined. Love it Bruce!
If ever there was a lyric to describe working midnights for 13 years it's
" Ya gotta kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight "
☮❤🇺🇸🇨🇦
Brilliant, thanks. This was the first thing that popped into my mind: "There is a crack, a crack in everything
, that's how the light gets in".
Been there,done that..over 13 yrs.!!
We are so overdue for a new wave of serious singer songwriters. Come on people. Get your music out there!
The combination of the religious and sexual imagery is just compelling. And he's a master craftsman of the guitar. A Canadian gem.
Saw Bruce a few years live play this at a concert of his. Awesome performance.
A Canadian Icon!!!! This took me back to growing up in the 80's in Ontario!!!
Me too man.
Bruce Cockburn has always been an inspiring poet for me. And his guitar is the other poet.
One of the great things about BC is that there is that separation between what he’s doing on the guitar and what he’s singing. His records adapted to cultural change in the 80s especially.
Great song especially Bruce singing it ❤❤🇨🇦🇨🇦
I always loved the Barenaked Ladies version because I heard that growing up then searched this, blew my mind. both are amazing
I agree the BNL version is also good but the song belongs to this man. He’s the musical poet genius who wrote it and first sang it.
He’s amazing
Appreciate both versions for sure..
Very under appreciated Canadian talent. Need to tell more of my american friends about Bruce.
polytelismedia ....do it
polytelismedia don't have to tell Jimmy Buffett
Or Eddie Van Halen, Eric Clapton, Barenaked Ladies, The Grateful Dead, Leo Sayer, Chet Atkins, etc...
Barenaked Ladies are Canadian to begin with.
It's always been that way too. Everybody that has an ability to hear, let them hear that they might see.
My 5 and 6 year old sons know every word by heart to this song!!! So happy my kids ars growing up listening to and loving real music❤❤❤❤
Totally 💗 i grew up to his music and saw him live twice
Just about a perfect performance -- the song is even more vulnerable and heartbreaking this way.
This might be my fav of the recordings of Bruce singing it
Marvelous!
Thanks for your honest and sincere love towards my work,we have you to be most thankful for . 💓
Such a talented singer/songwriter and guitar player! I remember hearing some of his songs in the 80's on radio and always thought they were good but now that I'm in my 50's I appreciate him a lot more now!
THIS MAN DOES NOT PULL ANY PUNCHES,,,TELLS IT AS HE SEE IT,,,,GREAT ARTIST,,,
And he indeed sees it before remarking. So many bands write songs from headlines. Not Bruce. He goes to the scene puts feet in the ground and listens to the locals. His vinyl albums used to be marked where and when they were recorded. From East Germany, Poland, Mozambique, the Caribbean, Nicaragua, Iraq, etc and told the story all through the album leaving the last song with hope and joy. No matter how depressing or distressing the social situation was the last song on the album always held out hope. Love that idea.
This song still makes me cry...invincible youth...holding hands with your best friend staring down the naysayers...feeling like you can go all night with them by your side...
Well said, cheers
Never thought of it that way. Thx for the image.
I adore this man....his belief in God is just another miracle for the musical joy he has provided for us all. If God had an acoustic guitar ON EARTH he would call himself BRUCE COCKBURN. Thanks for making me float back to my campsites ..year after year.
Every single couplet in this song is a couplet of such depth and quality that most poets would be thrilled to have but one of them in a poem...
love this guy !
Saw him in Edgartown MA at the Old Whaling Church in 1996. One of the best, no, the best small venue show I’ve ever seen. Incredible honest talent!
still makes me cry.
J'ai découvert Bruce en 1972 au Canada. ..je ne l'ai jamais oublié. ..quel bonheur de le retrouver. .merci Internet!!!!!
If I was a musician this is what I would aspire to: one instrument, one microphone and one voice.
I just can't decide whether he's a better guitar player or songwriter! Amazing!
The most underrated guitarist ever.
Not true. People in-the-know know. Oh yeah.
Well Eddie Vedder was asked what it felt like to be the greatest guitarist ever and he reponded idk ask Bruce Cockburn. On the other hand my music teacher doesn't know who he is and he is very into his guitar so it's swings and roundabouts.
i agree the older they get the better they sound like a fine wine.
Totally agree! Cockburn an Cohen are Vino!!
such times remain with us - "you're made to feel as if your love's a crime"
If Bruce had spent all his time in Hollywood he'd be much more famous, but no, he's the real deal
Ottawa Valley boy done good. A Canadian treasure.
Fuck. Bruce has never sounded better. Incredible performance.
One of our Canadian greats
i cant turn this off. this guy is good at guitar
I remain in awe of Bruce Cockburn...
Such a great song and suitable for the era we find ourselves in for sure.
another example of the great talent found in The Ottawa Valley
"these fragile bodies of touch & taste," "spirits open to the thrust of grace," "never a breath you can afford to waste"
Still kicking after all these years. Peace Bruce.
I didn’t want this to end. But when it did, I just started it again.
I have revisited this song throughout the years ever since it first hit the airwaves in Toronto. Every time, every blessed time, my eyes tear up. And now it's 2021. If nothing else this song is even more relevant and timely now than it was back in the eighties.
still has a good voice. you know a true singer when they can sing good live, unlike many others that made millions but could not sing without a ton of electronics manipulating there voice
They made millions and this is playing in a homeless gymnasium for half a bowl of soup.
For a moment there I was looking for the other guitarist! Incredible talent!
SteelyD same!! Incredible guitarist (pardon my daughters username lol)
He makes it look so easy. Love this man.
David Binks most masters of their craft do.
LOVERS IN A DANGEROUS TIME
Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by
You never get to stop and open your eyes
One day you're waiting for the sky to fall
And next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
These fragile bodies of touch and taste
This vibrant skin this hair like lace
Spirits open to the thrust of grace
Never a breath you can afford to waste
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime
Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight
Got to kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
I love his guitar playing here. It's so simple but still expressive.
he makes it look simple, but playing "bass" with your thumb and the melody with your fingers at the same time is quite a feat
@@jriles70bones I don't doubt it. I've been trying to learn it myself for a while, it's killing my fingers!
The a-ritmic tune combined with the song are so soothing ;) brilliant.:)
Such an amazing song! I'll be sharing this with as many people from my generation as possible to keep this amazing music going
Wow. I am blown away by Bruce. Such a gift
Thanks for your honest and sincere love towards my work,we have you to be most thankful for . 💓🙏🙏
Grew up on this and loved it ❤
Listening in december 2019! Love u Brucey.
I first heard this song many years ago, and inquired about it at a local record store. I ordered the CD, and enjoyed it, but wasn't old enough to truly appreciate what I was listening to. Fast forward to the end of 2022 and the beginning of a new year, and what has changed for the alternative community? Anything positive AND lasting since he wrote this song? Look at how ignorance and intolerance has infiltrated and corrupted who we are as a society. This song has as much meaning today as it did so many years ago. Listen to the lyrics, REALLY listen to the lyrics and stand up for the right of people to love who they want to and not be afraid. He wrote this for a reason.
This man is a truly beautiful human and a living master of his craft!
Another underrated artist In the decade of great music
Amazing - on his own - right on. I saw him with his dog in 1971 at the university of Guelph.
That crowd must be on fucking tranquilizers. He pours his heart into this beautiful song and all he gets is some meager, half-assed applause. Those people are unworthy!
I guess Monster wasn't comp'ing their drinks
What an absolute legend he is. This song is incredible. Love you Bruce.
He's pretty old and somehow managed to maintain his amazing voice...wow...
He's really old actually
bruce your a rare talent and deserve all the accolades you receive fond memories of sydney 1982 great concert !!
Bruce on an Energy drink stage ? He probably had a good laugh. Brilliant artist.
At least he got paid.
D.B. Cooper you sure made me laugh. Ty
Wow he's one of those rare voices that's sounds great live and improves with age.
Thanks for your honest and sincere love towards my work,we have you to be most thankful for . 💓🙏🙏
No one and I mean no one can play the acoustic like Bruce. Best there is
Just heard the '84 version on Spotify for the first time today and I couldn't help but play this track over and over. This acoustic version is beyond amazing. Thank you for your gift of music, Mr. Cockburn ☺
I was alarmed by BC back in the 80's and fell for his poetic sounds that sang to my concern for a world of wonder. I hark back to the days of bliss when I held his soulful sounds dear. Still wonderful to reminisce of times past, with hope for renewal. I have said this elsewhere but it ring s true to all of BC's work. Saw him at UCSD back in mid 80's for the 1st time.
Whats in a name, Is it Bruce Cock burn, Coke burn, or Co Burn.. Any way for me he is a epifany for a singer song writer and one of the best there is, thanks man for lichtening my day and life....
A powerful messenger....
LW
im so glad your profile exists
Awesome rhythm.. great song and great vocals... it's the first time my ears have heard this guys amazing talent and I'm gonna be back for a whole lot more. Best to you Bruce. 🎸😊
+John Metcalf been a really big fan of BC talent since the early eighties, Saw him in a solo show 15 years ago.. would really enjoy seeing him in a full band to get the pure sound as in his great great recording
Oh, Canada--one Yank loves the musical gifts you have given us. Joni, Neil, and this underappreciated gem.
I saw Bruce do this last Thursday. Just him, no band or other bull shit to get in his way. Superb! He's an underrated master at what he does. But then again Bruce is over most peoples head.
I had the honor of meeting and getting his autograph in 1994 in Toronto,Pearson international airport ..Nicest gentlest person I've had the pleasure of meeting.. Stopped and spoke with me asking where I was from and seemed very interested in my travels.. Still have his autograph (on my check book, the only paper item I had :)
Even without the melody, this is fine poetry. Some of the best lines in music. I remember years ago when I first met my now wife who at that time only spoke Spanish. I would often translate songs for her that we both enjoyed and this one brought tears to my eyes as I explained the beauty of the poetry. We often still listen to this song and to the Bare Naked Ladies cover which is also incredible.
Age 66 and still such a marvelous energy and intellectual control.
I had forgotten how good he was.
Exquisite lyrics 💜
He's one of the greatest Canadian Folk/Indie Rock artists of ALL time.
Definitely one of my faves.
His whole album "Humans" (1980) is just a masterpiece.
Holly shit Bruce held the fuck outta that note at the end.
True proud Canadian ✊🏿🇨🇦
The anthem for the next four years....
Robert Cole
The key verbs being, push, kick, fight. All the love in the world won't be enough unless people are prepared to do those things. My hope is that people will do that instead of just complaining for the next four years. Looking for a place to start? Wolf-Pac.com
Robert Cole
My words were ALSO for me as well, so thank you.
push, kick, fight?
that is not going to change people’s hearts.
that’s why i’m glad I follow Jesus and not man!
btw, sex does NOT = love & more importantly,
disagreement does NOT always = hate.
So tee lee... remember when Jesus went ape shit in the temple and physically tossed out all the money lenders? Sometimes you have to use force. Even Jesus did...
tee lee fuck jesus
amazing talent...love the solo acoustic - pure, simple, unimaginably rich and evocative
four of you never loved dangerously
so blessed to be able to listen to this amazing artist, his music is a gift to the world. Thank you
That is an absolute killer strum pattern.
This song will always be one of my favorite. So much good memories.
Canadian Legend!! Wow!!! Simply Amazing!!
This man is a lyrical god
omg that is gorgeous and especially the lyrics
I am older, he has always been this outstanding, great guitar technique, Please see him live!
I heard this song on the radio once and I'm glad I found out what song it was and who it was by such a great song and artist
gives the BEST performance - priceless, memorable, loving, funny, truth teller extraordinaire (xoxoxoxox) - the sing-alongs are especially awesome. hands down favorite, gem of a human being.
i remember when i was a kid and adults said that new music was worse... i get it now, it is exactly that.
great tune ... we are all lovers in this dangerous time...
Ditto to previous comments: Stunning, Brilliant, Awesome! Thank you KINK FM!
His music is art, unlike the music of so many of his peers.
woah dude.. that's like totally awesome.. all these years and !!..wow !!
The Shack book, brings me here, beautiful song/voice.
listened to stealing fire after i found it in a bargain bin at my local record store. one of my favorite albums. when my studio teacher told me he worked with Bruce as a recording engineer, I was so surprised!
You've got to kick at the darkness until it bleeds daylight.
Beautiful guitar!!!! Beautiful song!!!!....
Bruce is king ,,and awesome person ,and humanitarian extraordinare
Yes they do Mr Cockburn.
Was thoughtfully given an album of his for Christmas in 1975, considering longevity probably the best gift ever, still music to my ears...
I heard this song the other day and it had been YEARS since I heard it. It was a cover of it and knew it was not the original version. I tracked it down because I remember loving this song. I never knew the artist was Canadian and was such a musical bad @ss.
