'Last Night of the World' by Bruce Cockburn on Q TV

[@TheJohnnyBE]

One of the greatest, poetic songwriters of our time. One of my favorite songs of Bruce's and the f**kin' thing has no rhymes except the chorus. God Bless the vessel Bruce Cockburn for bringing such beauty into our lives.

Christmas eve in the 'Year of First's' and this song slid me over the edge... I can't stop crying as I listen. So grateful my sister Christine's long drawn out time of pain is over, and though that's good, and right, I find myself missing her, wishing I could hold her hand and soothe her, me such a mess of tears, snot, smiles and stinging eyes and selfishness.... remembering her, appreciating her, feeling her Presence and yet...yet....even though it's not enough, it has to be enough. Not many as kind and gentle and radiant as she have graced this world. Her name in this life was Christine Ann. Blessing's upon her Soul, nestled in the Heart of the Creator. If you are so inclined, whoever you are and wherever you read this...say a prayer for her.

Pried loose? I actually love this phrase because of its double meaning. Is it "Pried Loose" or "Pride loose"? Sorry for your loss. I know this too. My spouse died 10 years ago...

Thanks, Bruce, for doing what you do and sharing it with the rest of us!

[@TheJohnnyBE]

Bass, rhythm and lead at the same time. Mind blown.

great stumble here! I heard this on Q when it aired last year, hoped his opening song in the studio would be THIS one, then hit the ceiling singing dancing and crying through it, while writing to Q and Bruce in a flurry of ecstatic words, which was announced the following day as the"Letter of the Day". Whew, such fury and love.

Bruce is a modern prophet, sometimes, a lot sad to say, rejected by organised "church" but has a message for us all

[@RonRizzi]

Bruce is a talented and gifted voice of gentle dissension in a world of mediocrity... what would you do that was different if it were the last night of the world... lift a glass to Bruce Cockburn....

[@dantell7605]

If anyone's interested, I believe his guitar is tuned E, A, D, F#, B, E. Capo III.

[@rokitman5753]

[@oysterboy9]

[@JoeRothRealtor]

So powerful! This song led me to find what he was feeling when he wrote it...and let me tell ya'll... The Friends of Dean Martinez will take you there fo sho! Wierd and wacky wonderful stuff. Love you Bruce!

[@santamara]

[@STRUMMERBOY1975]

What a Soing.. What A Sound..........:)

[@Ottee2]

You"re still a good singer Bruce Cockburn, but for me you peaked in my life with "Lovers in a Dangerous Time".

[@seventh_way]

Happy Birthday Bruce! 5.27

[@moorkeith]

Happy day of birth Bruce.. hope enjoyed the pipe.. km

[@RobertNPruden]

[@salm37]

@confretti tell me more about McKnight guitars

[@alisterhrae27]

pretty sure this is not a baritone Manzer, I have one of her wedge models, she used to work with Jean Larrivee, there is a family thread thru all these guitars?

[@atridland]

Pat & Carlos have good company. Bruce was playing Linda's guitars before any of them. He moved on to her guitars when Jean Larrivee stopped hand building instruments himself.

[@Ottawarocket]

Bruce is a Canadian Legend ..well if it was the Last night of the world I would spend it drinking Champange with my Lady Paula : ) Rocket

[@salm37]

All I want to know is what kinda of guitar he has? anyone know?

[@all4fuun]

@antoireland09 His name is pronounced ko' bern. You would have known that if you would have watched the video.

[@ExodusPessoa]

I hope so too! (lol)!!!

[@Neville6000]

[@FlyingThruCanyons]

My moms boyfriend took us to see Bruce when he came through our area. Awesome, I was taken away. I'm learning wondering where the lions are as we speak. Only thing I can't get over is how ugly the guitar strap is..

[@salm37]

Thanks nice guitar....I think he would sound good no matter what he was playing tho lol...

[@gauradas108]

Bruce is far above being concerned about dead protein growing out of his scalp

[@gregpage117]

hope this isn't the song to discribe today.......

[@Callmerew]

I was wondering why it was such a low rating, that is until I heard him sing, not so much the singing but the lyrics.

[@petertcummings]

This guy completely sucks.
