Song For Sunday - 24th Apr - Stand By Me/You

Last month I posted a song by Eli Lieb & Steve Grand and commented on how unusual it is to see two gay men duet. Well this week's song goes one step further - a duet by two gay men who are married to each other.
Casey Breves and Sam Tsui are two YouTube based singers who've been working separately for years, and doing the occasional duet on mash-up's (you might remember their mash up of Thinking Out Loud / I'm Not The Only One as its had over 32 million views). Casey & Sam married last week and basically turned themselves into the new Sonny & Cher.

This week's song is their latest collaboration, a mash up of Stand By Me & Stand By You. It's a good choice for a spring Sunday morning.

Song for Sunday - 17th April - Moment

Matt Doyle is a Broadway singer and fitness instructor - both things that grab my attention, but for very different reasons. He recently released his first album Uncontrolled, from which this song comes. Go take a look at the moody bedroom moments.

Song for Sunday - 10 Apr - Somewhere Along The Way

A little light jazz for a Sunday morning is never a bad thing. This week's song is Somewhere Along The Way by Antoine L Collins - a tale of having the best and letting it slip through your fingers.

Song for Sunday - 3rd Apr - Son Of A Preacher Man

Some songs are difficult to translate from a straight/cis perspective - which is why having LGBT musicians singing about that perspective is so important - yet other songs benefit from it. This version of the classic Son Of A Preacher Man provides the opportunity for an excellent song to be matched with an equally good video. And, as all things in life should, provide a happy ending.
