Gay Music

August 7, 2007

I came across this video by Israli singer Ivri Lider. He is Israli but this video is in English. It's a guy, singing about another guy who he is interested in. He wants this boy but the boy is hesitant to step into the realization that he is gay; the boy is trying to avoid the truth. The singer. is frustrated because he knows what the boy really wants but can't force him to see it

Here is Ivri's video to his song Jesse:

Here are the lyrics as well. I got them off of this site:

I love a boy named Jesse
But Jesse doesn't love me back
He says he has a girl named Chelsea he wants so much

I love a boy named Jesse
But Jesse doesn't love me back
He says he's insecure about what he feels and what he wants

What he feels and what he wants...

But every time he smiles at me
I know we are the same
And that he'll change his world for me
If he just knew my name

There's no need for you to say you saw the life they chose for me
For me...

I love a boy named Jesse
But Jesse doesn't love me back
He wants to kiss and go to bed but he doesn't want to talk
I love a boy named Jesse
But Jesse doesn't love me back

He says he's straight and all that stuff is only in my mind
Only in my mind...

All I can hide
I'm doing fine

But every time he smiles at me i know we are the same
And that'll he'll he change his world for me
If he just knew my name

There's no need for you to say you saw the life they chose for me
For me...

I love a boy named Danny
But Danny doesn't love me back
He says he has a girl named Chelsea he wants so much

I love a boy named Danny
But Danny doesn't love me back
He says he's insecure about what he feels and what he wants

What he feels and what he wants...

It's not very often that you see a gay music video and although there is nothing explicitly sexual in the video it leaves a lot of impressions.

P.S.

Here's another video I came across about gay men in music. They are called Bearforce 1 and remind me a lot of the Village People but a little more modern and a little more sexual.
