  • This is the first video I've seen of yours. I subscribed. You are amazing. Thank you for your music.

  • every video makes me love you more, hahahah

  • soooooooo sweet :)

  • Please come again to Israel! We love you so much! <3

  • i like your song.....and i do like you too....

  • Thank you.

  • I live in my delirious world where someday soon it won't matter who you go for and who you sing about and we can all appreciate songs from the heart like this. I can feel your pain in every lyric and though Jay doesn't read comments anymore (for good reason people can be cruel) I wish you could hear this for what it is. Someone who has or once had a broken heart- no matter who gave it to him.

  • Oh weird, I just realized that I've seen you naked in Shortbus. lol

  • i sent bodys a temple and housewife to ellen degreneres on facebook and asked her if she could put you on her show hoepfully she sees them :)

  • Fucking best song ever!

  • "well, that's the way the fairy tale goes

    boy meets girl and they wed with roses

    but that's not the way it seems to be

    and i'm pissed that they lied to me

    cuz boy meets boy and boy runs away

    or girl meets girl and she's afraid to stay

    we end up home alone watching court tv

    not living ever after happily"

    Isn't this basically the LGB anthem? :D

    <3

  • eres muy sexy

  • i had the same feeling about beeing in tel aviv.

  • you are incredible! your music was one of the things that kept me together during a very hard night of my life and i cant thank you enough for that. Your music is magic and does exactly what all music should- express ones feelings and emotions through ways most people wouldn't. I love what your doing and i wish you the best of luck with it all. <3

  • wow i love this wish u were coming to new orleans so i could see u!!

  • I love your music, lyrics, voice, and you are soooooooooo cute. What are the chances of you coming to Belo Horizonte, Brazil? I`d love to see you live. Keep up the good job.

  • this song actually brought tears to my eyes.

    especially when the music was all soft. You didn't have to sing anything because the music was already beautiful, but oh my gosh your voice just put it over the top!

  • Wow, great job. I really enjoyed the lyrics. Keep doing what you do! :)

  • when's the music video for this song? can't wait for it to come out

  • Jay I love your music! It is so amazing! As a gay young man myself I want to thank you for being you and not changing anything in your music to appeal to what the majority wants. I listen to at LEAST one of your songs everyday! And this one is one of my favorites!

  • I happened across your music by chance, and you're pretty good! Music today is always about "what people WANT to hear" not what they NEED to hear. Life isn't about fairy tales. It's about reality. Unfortunately, people are afraid to live in reality, which is why the fairy tales win out.

    Thanks for the awesome songs. I can't wait to hear more.

  • Jay,,

    you're an amazing actor, singer & guitarist. I'm so happy to know that you're coming back again to tel aviv (i all ready bought a ticket for your show), and finally i will listen & see you live,,, WOHOO

  • This song is just amazing.

  • This is so perfect.

    I love how your lyrics are just right to resonate with different groups of people, without "straightening" out, which I've noticed a lot of gay artists do, avoiding pronouns and the like. By expressing yourself, you are more relatable than those who are chiefly concerned with that. As a lesbian, I feel like your songs are exactly what I need in my music.

    Thank You.

  • I just lost the game...

  • wow

  • I like this. I understand how you feel about the 'they lied to me' part. My girlfriend and I are living happily right now.. but they still lied. -Is a girl-

  • this song is amazing!!! i think we need more real singers like u. im straight but ur song can still fit into my life!! u just got ur self a new fan!!!

    fyi the reason i found u was cuz of the straight out of the Compton one!! i showed it in my class!! haha

  • absolutely amazing ^_^

  • you know, i like how your music isn't about being 'gay', if you catch my meaning. you sing about a lot of things, everything, they just happen to have references to boyfriends and such in them cos they're about you and your life. all your songs seem to relate to me when i listen to them, just from a different angle. : ]

  • and don't get me wrong, i don't care if you're a gay or not, doesn't make a difference to me, i just think it's cool that you don't just sing about that like some people do.

  • jay .... i listen to you EVERY MORNING since i was so devastated on my 22nd birthday my best friend for 9 years and i split and i love him with all my heart and your songs seem to be the only thing warming my soul right now thaxs more than you can or could ever know

  • I love this song

    and I am Gay (L):P

    xxx

  • This is what i love about Jay Brannan! He is not taking on the Stereotypical Roll of most singers, where he must have up beat, exciting tempo, or sing about getting with girls, breaking up with girls, or being all Harcore! He is just singing how he feels and not trying to cater to what the PEOPLE wanna hear, there his lyrics! Most Artists only sing songs the LABEL knows WE wanna hear. Artists should be singing THERE music, now what WE wanna hear! Gotta Love <3 Jay Brannan

  • [Insert generic encouragement comment here]

  • Dude ur AMAZING

    Julie

  • Your words bring truth and light to an otherwise fucked over world. Thanks for reminding me that I'm not the only one. :-)

    Big hugs Jay!

  • You have the weirdest, stranget music...and i love it. lol

  • I addictive this song

  • this is beautiful...

    ^ thats all i got to say.

  • dude I think i'am in love with you and I"M STRAIGHT!!!!!

  • I'm jealous...I love Tel Aviv.

    I agree with the higher feeling of security.

  • i signed up just to comment on this song... I LOVE IT ... ue amazing

  • so true. ive just come out of the closet so to speak. No one told me life waz like this. for many years i thought i waz a freak but i think i would of handle being a homosexual better if love and life was decribed truthfully.

    nice songand voice. in my opinion you are one of the best singer/song writers on youtube.

  • hi Danny. thanks for telling me bout this guy he is brill. xx

  • i LOVE YOUR MUSIC!

  • I'm in love!!!!! ;)

  • Haha, I love how I get an ad about Disney movies for the song about fairytales gone wrong. Great song by the way, my favorite of yours!

  • are u the cute guy from "Holding Trevor"?

  • yer he is

  • JAY! OMG. thank you for saying what you did about tel aviv and israel in general. Ive been a number of times and whenever i tell people that i have been they give me a look. I always have to tell them how i many times feel safer there than i do here!

    I am soooo glad you had a good time there.

    Keep it sexy. I LOVE your music.

    Kiss Kiss,

    (from a relatively new fan)

    Mike

  • your music is so AMAZING!! ans so just true an awesome you so rock cant wait to hear more:)

  • wowowowowowow !!! love it !

  • Amazing song and voice !

  • Gotta love society and it's obsession with cultural 'norms'. And of course, it's tendency to look away and frown upon anything they consider 'abnormal'.

    Anyway, beautiful song.:)

  • your music made me cry. i love your voice.

    and btw, just to you to know, u have fans in brazil.

  • :D really love the 'message/story' of it and how it all meshes together. looking and shaping everything like so! do u write ur own stuff btw?
