Not belonging, barriers, painful things I’ve said, repetitive patterns, injustices, civil unrest and wars…mistakes, poor decisions, anger and sadness, shame, regret…its all in this portrait of Bruce Cockburn. So many of his songs speak to the issues that keep me awake at night as does the process of destruction I wrecked upon this piece searching for a lyrical quality with materials that are incompatible. Can we find beauty in our living nightmares?
