Bruce Cockburn - "Lovers In A Dangerous Time"

[Deleted]

From 1984's Stealing Fire. Peaked at #24 in Canada and #8 Canadian AC.

"I was thinking of kids in a schoolyard. I was thinking of my daughter. Sitting there wanting to hold hands with some little boy and looking at a future, looking at the world around them. How different that was when I was a kid when, even though we had air-raid drills, nobody took that seriously that the world would end. You could have hope when I was a kid. And now I think that's very difficult. I think a lot of that is evident from the actions and the ethos of a lot of kids. It was kind of an attempt to offer a hopeful message to them. You still have to live and you have to give it your best shot."

- Bruce Cockburn in 1994

It's also interpreted as being about the Cold War, the Guatemalan refugee crisis, and the AIDS epidemic.

My favorite by him. Love it.
