William Bell - I Forgot To Be Your Lover

A sad song for a Sunday. It occurs to that a lot of the best songs are confessional in nature. What really lifts this song is Bell's vocal, which on the chorus is just sensational. There's a real wrench to it, which is heartbreaking. My favourite part however is "I've working for you doing all I can, but work all the time didn't make me a man." I'm a real sucker for moments of self awareness in music and you get the impression here of a real hard earned realisation, gained after too many fights over too long a time.
In the here and now it's good to know William Bell is still going strong with his own label and his own rather snazzy shoes for sale.
