Cooper Bloom, Two Cowboys (Story of the Night) [📷: Cooper Bloom]Toronto western-flavored pop artist Cooper Bloom delivers a home run with his meaningful single, “Two Cowboys (Story of the Night).”

“In the deep heart of the south / There were lovers on the run / Searching for a place to stay / Where they could set their love ablaze.” Why on earth would lovers need to be on the run? Well, given the location (the South is a conservative place 😏) and the fact that these lovers are the same sex 🌈, the discrimination, judgment, and, anti-LGBTQ+ legislation means their love is in jeopardy. On 🎵 “Two Cowboys (Story of the Night)”, Toronto, western-flavored pop artist 🎙 Cooper Bloom highlights the fact that love is love. It’s worth fighting for, even in the midst of tremendous adversity and intolerance from others.

Cooper Bloom, Two Cowboys (Story of the Night) [📷: Cooper Bloom]“The story of the night two cowboys 🤠 🤠 lite their love on fire / And watched the darkness of the world turn to light.” Indeed, indeed, Cooper.  He continues singing in the thoughtfully penned, tuneful chorus, “They prayed to a god to keep them safe / While they took on the open waters / They knew the man upstairs didn’t give a care / Who they love, love, love.” Marvelous, marvelous, marvelous! Bloom, who penned this gem, delivers a compelling tale that isn’t merely applicable to cowboys.  The cowboys could be anyone who fell in love who simply want to live their lives sans persecution.  Set in a minor key, with some epic country-flavored, western cues fit for cowboys, “Two Cowboys” is superbly produced (shout out 🎛 Jesse Shirts).  Bitmoji ImageBesides his sensational pen, Bloom delivers a strong vocal performance. I ❤️ his tone and the robustness of his instrument.  He executes the tuneful melodies flawlessly.  Furthermore, just listening, you can tell that Bloom, a proud member of the LGBTQ+ 🏳️‍🌈 community, is passionate about what he sings; incredibly authentic.  🎵 “Two Cowboys (Story of the Night)” is a home run, PERIOD.
