Five fave lesbian/sapphic love songs of alt/indie rock

Obviously, we all have individual tastes in music. As a male listening to this genre, these five lesbian/sapphic love songs share common threads with all other great love songs — they contain a heartfelt emotional vibe, feature well-written and evocative lyrics, and include great instrumentals that help draw the listener into the soul of the tune.

Of these five fave songs, three are by Canadian artists, one is by an Irish band, and one is by an American group. Peace & love!

We look like a couple of teens
Just hanging back and holy ghosting
Apologise and leave” – Pillow Queens

“Edge of the Earth” by The Beaches (Canada) –

“She’s a fire sign
And I don’t really know what that means
I’m a cold night
And I wanna be close to the heat
I don’t want to get burned
I don’t want love like that
But I can’t go any further ’til I start coming back” – The Beaches
