Well that’s it for another week, and we leave you dear reader with a new video from a song which the more observant of you will know featured in my top 10 tracks of 2024 – for me, it’s the best song Texan country-crooner Charley Crockett has ever written and I can’t think of a better melody in the thousands of tracks we got sent last year. If you can find me one you can have my house. It’s always exciting when a song you enjoy from an album suddenly has a video, and like not an AI-generated video but a proper video-video, and a really decent one too. If you’ve never heard this song before, stop everything for 4 minutes and soak it all in.
It’s a week of course in which the long suffering Palestinians finally might have some relief although for how long it remains to be seen – please do support the national solidarity demo in London if you can tomorrow. Take care and have a good one.

Charley Crockett has become known for the wonderfully creative and beautifully shot videos that accompany his classy songs. Filmed and edited by Bobby Cochran, 'I Need Your Love' is no exception. As ever, the visual is truly cinematic, a piece of artwork in itself. There are so many symbols in…
