It is not a well-kept secret that I love me some Martha Wainwright. She's a gorgeous blend of Canadian folk and American brass, with a little touch of la langue romantique to sweeten the senses -- FYI, she does Edith Piaf proud with her latest album, Sans fusils, ni souliers, à Paris (2009).Could there be a single bit more of me left to fall in love with Ms. Wainwright?
ENTER: Liam Frost, a British singer with the foresight (and the necessary good graces of Fate herself) to provide the world with a new song in which Martha Wainwright is a fearsome, fantastic featured artist.
And, with queer lenses lowered and a good dose of same-sex pronouns in the chorus , I would suggest, perhaps, that a gay gal could find utmost pleasure in the rousing track to follow. I introduce, "Your Hand in Mine":
See now, rather than assuming this sparkling, danceable Brit-pop-meets-rock track is another notch on the ol' "hetero-love song" belt, I offer some queer insight -- how much more compelling would the track be if both the male and female singer were chasing after the SAME woman?
I imagine the video filled with the dreams of two pals, heads swimming with the thoughts of the same Lady Love until -- *GASP*! It is revealed in the end that both their hearts beat for the same sweet vision.
I know -- I like my version of music videos better, too.
(Though, we all know -- Martha Wainwright would be the lover victorious in any battle with the boys. Don't deny it, now.)
