For all Queer as Folk fans: You have got to check out YouTube's <QAF - Brian & Justin "Chiquitita">. This is a gorgeous and loving 5-minute+ video that matches QaF clips to the words of the Abba song. (This song, you will remember, ended the Pride sequence in season 2.) If you know the QaF show you will realize how well it does this. Even if you don't, you will still love it.

I call this one "The Caught Kitty!"

I have a couple more YouTube suggestions, which I should have put on my first time. I see that some people can move the videos from Youtube directly to here. I don't know how to do that, so I have to rely on telling you about them so you will go there.
The first is Jack I Swear done by BayCityJohn. It is the Steven Robinson song with skillfully selected clips from BBM. This is the most powerful BBM song I have ever heard, and BCJ does a beautiful job with it. There are a few versions of the song on YouTube, but his is by far the best. If the end of BBM still makes you cry, you will cry here too. BayCityJohn has done many excellent videos on YouTube; look for his name when you go there. He is, by the way, a BetterMostian, and would probably appreciate a personal message of thanks if you like Jack I Swear--which I am sure you will.
My second suggestion is The Man I Love by John Alcorn. (Play the one with his face on the album cover.) I discovered this song on Queer as Folk. Alcorn is a gay jazz singer in Toronto (my city). I don't know how a straight woman would react to hearing it sung by a man, but to a gay man (at least this gay man) it has resonances and depths not there when hearing it sung by a woman.

I have seen some of BCJ's videos, but not this one. He does have a knack for matching images from the movie to the lyrics and rhythms of the songs he uses.
I did a little digging and found this from Steven Robinson:
"I wrote this from a poem that a friend wrote for two dear friends of hers...Further inspired after she saw the movie, 'Brokeback Mountain'"

Great voice!! Maybe the reason the resonates so well in a man's voice is that the tune was originally written by Gershwin to be sung by a male character. The original title was "The Girl I Love."
