Here is a great song by one of my favourite Canadian artists, Bruce Cockburn. As always, deep and illuminating.

Bruce Cockburn has put out about 34 albums since the 1970s. He is a genius musician and poet and once banned from the U.S. for challenging the IMF and their unfortunate policies. The U.S. government did not appreciate it in those days. Thankfully, people have grown up and also learned that what he was saying in his songs were true, as painful as it is to hear. Now, Ron Paul, a libertarian, is running for president with much the same views. How times have changed and how wonderful to people waking up and becoming conscious of what is really going on in this world.

Bruce Cockburn’s lyrics are romantic, political, spiritual, deep, and illumating, full of joy and pain all intertwined. Amazing stuff and always fresh and different.
