Mason Jennings – “Beautiful Man” and “Duluth”

he is a straight musician but both these songs are pretty easily relatable to me being gay.

In “Duluth” Mason Jennings sings

“Nobody says the things he says, nobody move’s like he moves and nobody makes me feel this way I’m gonna marry that boy oh lord im gonna marry that boy.”

its tech a cover of a song written by someone else but hearing a man sing it gives it a very gay tone :)

In a “beautiful man” Mason Jennings is singing about a beautiful man from the perspective of a hetero man. Near the end of the however he does sing that

‘whenever i pass him walking i start batting my eyes’

I second Bloc Party. Their music is so quintessentially adolescent…spirited and vital, but fundamentally emotional as well. “Silent Alarm” is peppered with love songs, but Kele didn’t get specific about his sexuality until “A Weekend in the City.” The second half of that record has two of the best gay love songs ever on it (“Kreuzberg” and “I Still Remember”).

I’m severely dating myself, but two really powerful alternative bands from the 90’s that really lit a fire in me were Kitchens of Distinction, and Gene

KOD- Gorgeous Love, circa 1991, and for that matter pretty much any of their stuff

Gene- We Could Be Kings, and Why I Was Born.

passionate, moody stuff

Okay, I have a few…

“He Hit Me”, Grizzly Bear from the Friend EP. It’s a cover, but applicable nonetheless.

At the end of Bonnie Prince Billy’s The Letting Go LP, there’s an untitled track. There’s nothing particularly gay about it, but it’s gorgeous. I put it on a mix CD for my ex-boyfriend, and he said it made him cry. (Yeah, I know, he’s a ninny.)

Believe it or not, Cat Power’s The Greatest LP makes for some pretty awesome make-out music.

Ditto for Lavender Diamond’s song “Oh No” from their Imagine Our Love LP.

And while we’re on the topic, Paul van Dyk’s dance mixes make for some pretty nifty fucking music.

My second boyfriend gave me a mix tape that had Christian Death’s Only Theater of Pain on side A and The Misfits greatest hits on side B. I was 17 years old, and yet so romantic at such a young age… I listened to the shit out of that tape, too.

BTW, someone mentioned Tegan and Sara. Tegan did a duet with Tom Gabel of Against Me! on their New Wave LP. It’s a love song called “Borne on the FM Waves of the Heart”. It does absolutely nothing for me, but maybe it will pull at your heart strings. Maybe. It’s a great song anyway.

I need to think about this some more…

Definitely Lola by The Kinks, but they also have a few other songs that are overt – like “Out of the Wardrobe” and some say “See My Friends”

This is a great list of songs; but for the Tracy Chapman song I would replace “Fast Car” with “For my lover” from the same CD.

I always sort of imagined “I think we’re alone now” wasn’t about a boy and a girl. Tommy James version esp.

Bob Mould singing Stephin Merrit: “He Didn’t” (from the 6ths “Hyacinths and Thistles” if that combo sounds inviting)

No Ani DiFranco? For an angry, I-know-exactly-how-many-days-it’s-been breakup song, I love Superhero.
