Song for Sunday - 13th Aug - Grounds for Resentment

It's still fairly unusual to have two out gay men singing a romantic duet (using male pronouns). So here is the latest in a fairly short line - this is Kele Okereke (from Bloc Party) and Olly Alexander (from Years & Years) on Grounds for Resentment, a track from Okereke's forthcoming album Fatherland.

Song for Sunday - 6th Aug - The Village

Hot on the heels of Bloodstain a few weeks ago comes the new song from Wrabel called The Village. Written in response to Trump's transphobia this is a song and video with an emotional punch.

Song for Sunday - 30 Jul - Shangri La

With intimacy comes exposure, and with exposure comes risk and vulnerability.
In this song - Shangri La - Eli Lieb explores the edge of risk and what happens when a kiss or touch can tip him over that edge - over into a place where he's too exposed.

Song for Sunday - 23 Jul - Bloodstain

I can't believe I haven't posted this song here yet. It is my song of the year so far and I find myself listening to it a few times a day. From love hurts and failing at it, through to finding someone who's not afraid of what's being asked of them, this is the song about love we all need.

Song for Sunday - 16th Jul - Man Doesn't Know

You might have noticed that I like a video with a bit of good choreography in it. So this week is the song Man Doesn't Know by Primme, which has a video with a three-way story told through dance.

So a winner all round really.

Song for Sunday - 9th July - Lover Man

A throw back to jazz guy Spencer Day's cover of Lover Man. Mostly because it's a great song, but also to point out that Spencer's new song - 72 and Sunny - is out this week.

Song for Sunday - 2nd July - Undetectable

Brendan Maclean has a new video for his song Undetectable, a low beat song about love not working out. Perfect for a Sunday morning listen.
