Sunday Morning with Daniel Boys

I could think of nothing more delightful than waking up on a lazy Sunday morning with Daniel Boys. Since that is not happening any time soon, some videos will have to do. Daniel is an actor/singer from the UK, who I have caught on BBC America, and became an instant fan. He recently completely a long run in Avenue Q on London's West End, as well as supporting John Barrowman on a couple of tours. I ordered his album, So Close, complete with an autograph, and love it! You can now buy So Close on iTunes here in the States, just click here. I think Daniel is handsome and talented, and an out and proud gay man who I will gladly support when I can. I truly hope to get the chance to see him perform live at some point. Perhaps he will perform on this side of the Atlantic, or I will get the chance to catch him with another favorite, John Barrowman. I am not sure I would be able to contain myself!



The first clip was from a show at the Royal Albert Hall in Glasgow, and is a cut from the album. Everything [inexplicably Everything Is Beautiful on iTunes] is a song which has truly grown on me, written by Michael Bublé, Alan Chang & Amy Foster-Gilles. I wasn't a fan of Bublé's version, but once I got beyond that, discovered I liked Daniel's very much.



The song Better Than I appeared on the animated feature Joseph: King of Dreams. The animation is a variation of the Biblical story of Joseph and his coat of many colors. I truly love Daniel's take on it. As with much of his music, there is such a sweetness and honesty, it is hard for me to resist.



When You Say You Love Me appeared on Josh Groban's second album, Closer, although the versions are very different. I like them both, but Daniel's is a bit lighter, a more acoustic take that serves his approach rather well.



You can check out Daniel on iTunes, his official website, or his fansite.
