Bruce Cockburn joins us on Episode 611 of Folk Roots Radio for a wonderful in-depth conversation about his new career spanning retrospective, “Greatest Hits 1970-2020”, a double CD set featuring 30 songs he has released as singles. After 34 albums, 13 Junos, thousands of shows across the world and numerous other awards, it’s been quite the career. The good news is that Bruce Cockburn is still going strong, still working on new songs, and still playing shows. In fact, this month he sets out on his 50th Anniversary tour. It’s actually Take 2 – because COVID put paid to the first version last year. There was a lot to talk about which is why we’ve given over the whole of this episode to the interview. So settle down and enjoy Bruce Cockburn… in Conversation on Folk Roots Radio.

Mason Lee — Song About Her

“No Need To Speak”, a song written for the Deaf community.
A universal expression of love, compassion, and understanding - a song that is a promise of trust. A message of assurance that those who care about you won’t turn away - and a song that illustrates despite any type of barrier, what you have to share shines through to those in front of you. 
Performed by Marshall Dane. 

Written by Marshall Dane, Rosanne Baker Thornley (RBT)
Produced and Arranged by Will Schollar 
Drums - Kevin Howley
Pedal Steel - Doug Johnson 
Mixed by Ben Pelchat at Kensington Sound, Toronto, Canada 
Mastered by Andy Krehm 

LYRICS
No need to speak
No need for words
You don’t need the noise
Know that you’re heard

I don’t need the thunder
To tell me when there’s rain
There’s no need to speak
Cuz I see what you’re saying

CHORUS
I won’t close my eyes
No I won’t turn away
I want to see you
See everything you say
Hear you with my heart
And hear you with my eyes
See me when I say I won’t turn away

I can see it in your smile
I can see it in your face
I can see how you feel
By the love that’s in your wave

And I love that you can’t hide
Who you are inside
There’s no need to speak
Just trust these hands of mine

CHORUS

I won’t close my eyes
I won’t turn away 
I see what you’re saying 
No need to speak 
No need for words
Don’t need the noise 
Just know you’re heard

No Need To Speak

Long, evolving and meditative track to be enjoyed in a relaxed setting.  I hope this song takes you away.  Here's to finding solace in the new year.

2020.11.10 Thunderstorm Meditation: Night Forest. Late Spring.

I create. I write. 
I write songs for me. And I write songs with and for other artists. My team produces me and many of the artists I work with. I’ve received quite a few international songwriting awards which is cool and that adds a nice bit of visibility along the way. I love what I do, and I’ve been doing this a long time. Every day I work with awesome, talented people who inspire and motivate me to want more. Music is not an easy business, but its certainly made for an interesting journey to this point. And so it continues :) For more, please visit my site at rbtsong.com. And thank you for dropping by to listen. RBT
