I hope this song and video will bring some hope, perspective and strength in these difficult times. 
I’ve made this harmony song arrangement of Gossip’s Standing In The Way of Control, I started it at the beginning of last year, then got busy with life things and set it aside, but this year felt called to finish it due to world events, and also rethink the way I was arranging it, to create the offering you can hear below.
I’ve made a video to go with it based on acts of courage and resistance, and joy in the face of oppression. I hope this will be uplifting to anyone who sees it and a source of something good in these times.
If you find it good, please do share it with someone who would be uplifted by it today.
Please also consider donating to Rainbow Railroad whose work getting LGBTQIA+ people out of danger and into safety is important work worldwide.
We will be singing this arrangement with GLOWchoirBrighton this term so if you’re close enough to Brighton do come and sing with us this term! All voices are welcome at GLOW, Brighton’s choir for LGBTQIA+ people and Allies.
GLOW starts again in February, and I’ll be publishing GLOWchoirBrighton booking info very soon, I’ve been focused on creating this arrangement and video, as well as time going to health and life stuff, and processing everything that’s been happening, so publishing GLOW membership and booking info has been a little delayed.
If you’re a choir leader or someone who sings with others and would like to get resources and permissions to do with this song arrangement, pop me an email on hannahrose@getbrightonsinging.com
Solidarity and strength
