Does this song make me look gay? Bite me.

I’ve had this song stuck in my head for so long. Its this corny old song from the 80’s Small Town Boy by Bronski Beat

Yeah, I know, get off my case. But anyway. I didn’t realize it’s a gay song. Haha. Buncha horny homos singing for another horny homo (hey, that’s not discriminating…its just honest, fuck off.). My point is, I really love this song..a lot.

People say you love songs because you can relate to what their saying, that’s half-truth bull. I cant relate to homosexual love to some small town dude. These singers are singing about what they feel about this brown eyed boy.

Emotions are universal. Everybody knows what its like to be in love, or ecsastic, or depressed, or furious or shattered…Whats different is the shallow circumstances that evokes these emotions. They sing about the circumstances, sure…but the tune of their songs, and the way they sing those words evokes those feelings that their feeling. Not the circumstances. I couldn’t give jack shit about the circumstances. But I feel that emotions that the artist is feeling, and I relate it to my own personal circumstances that may be completely different from those of the artist.

The good singer evokes that emotion in his song. Translates that emotional extreme into sound like a brilliant writer telling the most brilliant story. The popcorn pieces of shit singers just blab about the circumstances, and no emotional weight is felt at all.

Anyway..another pointless rant for today. I just really loved the emotion that this song Small Town Boy evokes. Even if the singer felt it because some farm-boy gave it to him the wrong way up the ass.

Um…did I say some thing politically incorrect? RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!
