Bronski Beat ‘Why?’ 40th Anniversary short doc.
Thank you for everything dielamb and @mhasinoff! Truly a special piece and collaboration! And thank you @bronskibeatofficial and @jimmysomervilleofficial for giving us access to the original stems. An honor to be part of sculpting your timeless and still timely score to this film!
In 1984, Jimmy Somerville told Record Mirror that ‘Why?” was about “a constant fight for your right to love and that’s a right everybody should have - to love who they want.” Forty years later he adds: “I never thought a song that we wrote in 1984 would resonate even more powerfully in 2024.”
“It was such a dream to look into the past and future with Jimmy,” states Matt. “This project was born out of an ongoing dialogue about the past and our ongoing responsibilities to protect what we’ve fought so hard for.”
