Drake Jensen Releases Poignant Cover of Bruce Cockburn’s “Lovers in a Dangerous Time” Amid Rising Violence Against LGBTQ+ Communities
Acclaimed LGBTQ+ artist Drake Jensen is set to release his powerful new single, “Lovers in a Dangerous Time,” a cover of the iconic Bruce Cockburn song, on August 14, 2024. This release comes at a critical moment as the world witnesses a troubling surge in violence against LGBTQ+ communities across the globe.
A Timely Anthem for Resilience and Love
“Lovers In a Dangerous Time” is more than just a cover; it is a deeply resonant anthem that speaks to the fears, struggles, and unwavering resilience of LGBTQ+ individuals facing increased hostility and violence. Originally penned by Bruce Cockburn in the 1980s during a period of social unrest, the song’s message of love and resistance is as relevant today as it was then.
Drake Jensen’s rendition of this classic hit carries a renewed sense of urgency. With his powerful vocals and emotional depth, Jensen captures the essence of the song while imbuing it with a contemporary perspective that reflects the challenges and hopes of the LGBTQ+ community in today’s world.
A Voice for the Voiceless
Drake Jensen, known for his unwavering commitment to LGBTQ+ advocacy, has long used his music to shine a light on the issues facing marginalized communities. His decision to release “Lovers in a Dangerous Time” now is both a tribute to Bruce Cockburn’s legacy and a statement of solidarity with those who continue to face discrimination and violence simply for who they are.
“At a time when hate is on the rise and our very existence is being challenged, it’s more important than ever to stand strong, to love fearlessly, and to make our voices heard,” says Jensen. “This song is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, love is a powerful act of defiance.”
Amplifying the Message
The release of “Lovers in a Dangerous Time” will be accompanied by a robust promotional campaign aimed at amplifying the song’s message. Jensen hopes to reach a broad audience, encouraging not only LGBTQ+ individuals but allies and the general public to stand up against hate and violence.
Jensen’s interpretation of the song will be available on all major streaming platforms, and a poignant music video will be released shortly after to further underscore the song’s message.
