Hey. I was asked to help out a friend put together a playlist for a party. The songs have to be explicitly "gay" or "bi" and everything in between. It's not enough that the artist is gay, the songs have to explicitly point at the narrators sexuality, and preferably his/her sexual desires. I know there's a fine line. Anyway, I figured there'd be some members on this site that know about this stuff. Here are some examples of what I'm NOT looking for:
- Tainted Love with Soft Cell doesn't count, for example (I know that Tainted Love wasn't written by Soft Cell), just because Marc Almond is gay.
- Songs that are disguised in a way that it could be about both a man and a woman don't count, even when it's obvious given the knowledge you have about the singer.
- Songs that only serve as comments on gay rights don't count. This goes, for example, for that Same Love song by Mackelmore (?).
- Songs that aren't genuinely gay (song by straight people) do not count, as they are considered comments.
- Songs that deal with gender issues and not sexuality as such don't count. For Today I am Boy by Antony and the Johnsons, for example.
- Joke bands and songs don't count.
I know this is a matter of interpretation at times, but if you know or remember any songs, please hit me. I don't have nearly enough. Genre or style doesn't matter.
Here are some of the songs I've come up with, with quotes of the part of the lyrics that "give them away", to exemplify what I'm looking for.
Morrissey - You have killed me - Original single - YouTube
"I entered nothing, and nothing entered me, 'till you came with the key"
Antony And The Johnsons - Cripple And The Starfish - YouTube
"Mr. Muscle forcing, bursting, stingy thingy into little me"
the magnetic fields - underwear - YouTube
"A pretty boy in his underwear, if there's anything better in this world, who cares?"
The Magnetic Fields - I Thought You Were My Boyfriend - YouTube
"Love or not, I've alway got ten guys on whom I can depend / And if you're not mine, one less is nine, get wise, I thought you were my boyfriend"
Othon & Tomasini - When I Leave You - YouTube
"Last night alone in bed I woke up, there was someone hugging me from the back. It felt like you so I let him. I took his hand and felt his claws"
Othon / A Little Dream - YouTube
"You, boy in the street, please stay the night with me"
Marc Almond & Michael Cashmore - Gabriel - YouTube
"Mine head upon thy lap, love, let me lie
I am wounded, and without thee I shall die
Lull me and love me, love! till I am well
Gabriel"
Okay, this became somewhat wordy. I hope someone will be able to help. Please don't hold back. I'm seriously lacking ideas when it comes to songs about female homosexuality. And by the way, if you don't know the songs I've linked to, they all come highly recommended. But they are not stylistic guidelines.
