This, Lovers in a Dangerous Time, and Dust and Diesel are the best songs on this album imo!
This song makes me sad for what I have lost these past forty years: youthful innocence and optimism, a lack of cynicism about the world and politics, looking happily ahead tomthe world opening before me.
Perfection!
As part of a Witness for Peace delegation to Nicaragua in 1987, we visited a dairy co-op in the Chontales province that had recently been firebombed by Contra terrorists during a night-time raid. I played this song on my Walkman for the children. Three days I will never forget, and which I often revisit in my mind for inspiration and hope. Thank you, Bruce.
My wife and I were Brigadistas in 1984, there for the 5th anniversary of the revolution. Like the movie "The Year of Living Dangerously," but for us it was 5 weeks. Esteli, Masaya, Granada, and Managua. I was helping Oxfam USA, and shooting photos the whole time with my Nikon. Never felt more alive, or around people who were more alive. Ortega has done what he has to in order to maintain independence. Sandino Vive, my brother.
Ortega is a murderer. He has destroyed Nicaragua.
23 comments?! This album was huge.
Also search the highest decorated American General Smedly Butler's speech and book written in 1937 in his retirement : " War is a Racket : I went to war for corporations"
This song has added poignance given recent events; the actors have changed, but not the circumstance.
Palestine / Israel today , Russia / Ukraine yesterday ...how or what is tomorrow ...why, oh WHY do we as humans enjoy killing each other ???????
GreaT song from 1984!
Woke up with this song in my head this morning. Weird
I often wonder if he ever sent them the pictures he took
I love this song. In a recent interview, Bruce said he didn't think the US was worse than any other country in terms of its foreign policy. He lives in the States now, has an American wife and child.
long before tom mcdonald/canada.... Bruce Cockburn is still the MAN....

Combining poetry with politics; Bruce can sure turn a phrase. This song uses very evocative imagery and symbolic wordplay to romanticize the Sandinistas in their failed effort to turn Nicaragua into another Cuba.
This song inspired me to go to Nicaragua in 1987, and, in traveling through the war zones, I discovered that "In the flash of the moment" they were "the best of what we are." Turning Nicaragua into another Cuba had very little to do with it.
I was in Nicaragua in the spring of 1987. In the northern war zone, in and around Yali, near the Honduran border. For three weeks. I got caught in an exchange of artillery fire one night for about 4 hours.
I was working on a project to bring images of the war home to the U.S., as told by young children.
Ya Cuba is such a wonderfull destination..
It the USA where people seek a better life.. not Nicaragua.
