| George Michael – Father Figure Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| To me, this song's first person changes from George to his father to his lover(s) and shows how missing his father's love transferred to finding salvation in the (sexual) love of a man. | |
| Frazey Ford – Firecracker Lyrics | 3 years ago |

@[Fruitdrink:43552] "Ford, whose exquisite third solo album, U Kin B the Sun, came out in spring, was in mourning last year. She lost her brother Kevin to alcohol abuse – self-medication for the trauma of their chaotic upbringing. Ford and her three siblings were the children of draft-dodging US political activists, hiding from the FBI in various Canadian locales. Firecracker is the song Ford wrote about Kevin on her debut solo outing, 2010’s Obadiah." (cited from "Frazey Ford review – an emotional, imperfect, lyrical balm" by Kitty Empire/The Guardian Sat 3 Oct 2020) |
