Free MP3 - Don't Hide Your Love From Me


Don't Hide Your Love From Me is a song written in the mid-70's.


Never recorded properly, and was never part of the Insisters repertoire.

It is one of my most sentimental slush-puppy songs, but seems to have stood the test of time.

Some things never change and I am as full of romantic gush now as I was then, probably worse.

Candlelight, good food and red wine. Holding hands across the table.

It's a Crime - but you can still download the mp3


It's A Crime was my first openly gay song. Written in the 80's when being 'out' socially was precarious and definitely not acceptable in the corporate world of that time.

My earlier singing career was in a time of changing lyrics from 'she' to 'he.'

It is SO much more fun singing ' she she she she she she....' lol!

So many women so little time ..heh!

I am very proud of this song.

DOWNLOAD "IT'S A CRIME"

I CLOSE MY EYES
AND WHAT DO I SEE
A WORLD OF LONELINESS AND INSANITY
OH IT’S A CRIME
IT’S A CRIME
IT’S A CRIME
TO LOVE THE ONE YOU DO


THE VERDICTS GUILTY
YET WE DON’T UNDERSTAND
THOUGH THERE’S EVIDENCE RIGHT HERE IN OUR HANDS
OH IT’S A CRIME
IT’S A CRIME
IT’S A CRIME
TO FEEL THE WAY WE DO
WON’T EVER CHANGE
EVER CHANGE
EVER CHANGE
FEELINGS THAT BELONG TO YOU


REF:

PEOPLE TRIED TO CHANGE US
TRIED TO TELL US WHAT WE’RE DOING WAS WRONG
TRIED TO REARRANGE US
BUT WHEN YOU FEEL THAT WAY
GUESS YOU JUST CARRY ON

WE CLOSE OUR EYES
AND WHAT DO WE SEE
A WORLD OF LAUGHTER AND HYPOCRISY
OH IT’S A SHAME
IT’S A SHAME
IT’S A SHAME
THAT YOU CAN’T LOVE THE ONE YOU DO
OH IT’S A CRIME
IT’S A CRIME
IT’S A CRIME

Where has Su Insister been?

In her own words:

Well now, who can say… back streets and alley ways I guess…. after the Insisters reunion sometime in mid-90’s I decided to record some of the stuff The Insisters never recorded, and re-record some of the stuff that went past its sell-by date.

And write some new stuff…and record that too.

So here in 2009, with no mascara, shorter hair, no Rockey Street and a voice still going pretty well, I have recorded some 14 or so songs in the last 4 years. Hope to release online this year.

I now do rare and private public singing functions… to gay women to be precise… they do so respond so well…. * smiles *…it was always my dream as a child to sing to women... so now I can do it…

At the Insister reunion two women rushed up to me afterwards and hugged and kissed me…. I thought that’s a good night time job!!

At the last supper club where I sang last year… a straight woman kissed me back… and I thought I’ll keep my day job ….. guffaw!

Seriously though…things are going great guns …even as an ex-sister or out-sister!

Chat soon!
Hugs, Su
