This is one of my favourite songs of all time, and has been for as long as I could remember. It's a song about a young man leaving his small town home for the city, because of homophobia and trying to find a place for himself in the world. I've always known what it was about, ever since I was small, because either my mum or my uncle explained it to me.

There's just something about the song and the video that always got to me - in it there's the sense of alienation almost anyone on my flist will have felt at some point, for one reason or another, and there's also hope in the end. A sense that everything might be okay...

This is Small Town Boy by Bronski Beat:

Aw! Good call. Pop now is so anodyne compared to songs and artists like that.

When I was a nipper, even pop music meant something! *shakes walkingstick*

They all need a haircut. And a proper job.
